CHICAGO, July s.-Chicago stands
face to face wi.h a famine in certain

Three days vacation last week in con

Railroad officials are making great ef-
Iorts to care fo7 provisions. particularly
those Of a perishab1e nature. but mer-
chants report that the situation Is Sc
rious.
II was reported that the Illinois Cen
tTal had succeeded in unloading all Of
its fruit cars and promise was made Of
sufficient foree today to handle all in
coming goods. The lake steamers are
expected to do much toward supplying
