TO PRESERVE THE ELKS
One of the important Matters
That VIII Be Considered at
the Convention in August.


The perpetual preservation Of the
quadruped elk by the biped Elk will be
one of the many important subjects TO
come up before the grand lodge during
its Salt Lake session The time has
come in the course of human events
when it is a bsolutely necessary to pre-
serve the remaining elks in the forests
of the west, or within an incredibly
short time there viii be none Of them
left.
Uniform legislation in states where
the elk is found, seeking to protect
them from the ruthless pot" hunter, is
what is proposed by those who have
the matter under consideration, and
viii bring it before the grand lodge
in August. Laws making il a peniten-
tiary offense to kill an elk any time
during the year. for a number of years
TO come, is what the members of the
order win strive to have enacted. A
Wyoming man has just returned from
the jackson Hole country, and the
stories he tells of the ruthless slaughter
OF elks by game hogs" are enough to
make the true sportsman indignant,
and to cause members of the great or
der which takes so many lessons from
this noble animal to wonder how long
the time before the species will be en-
tirely extinct.
The elk tooth has long been accepted
as an appropriate emblem for members
of the b. P. o. Elks. This has caused
the teeth to be very much in demand
as the order increased in members, and
this fact, in turn, has caused unscrupu-
lous hunters to kill this big animal for
their teeth alone, knowing the little
worries would command a big price The
man referred to above says that in four
years the number of elks wintering in
jackson Hole country alone has fallen
off IS per cent.
The members of the order have come
to the belief that matters have taken
such a pass that they should take them
up and take steps to have it made a
crime TO kill elk during any season for
the next three years.

LOOKS BAD FOR

U. S. District Court Renders De-
cision in Christie Case.
MUST PAY FOR QUOTATIONS.
CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE IS
NOT VIOLATING Law.
MUST PAY FOR QUOTATIONS..

II ANSAS CITY, July 7.--Judge Hook,
II in the United States district court
today, in handing down a deci-
sion m the suit brought by the Chicago
board of trade against the Christie
Grain & Stock company of Kansas
City, to prevent the use of the Chicago
boards quotations, held against the
bucket shop on almost every point
An appeal to the United States SUI
preme court Will be taken. In its suit
filed a year ago, the Chicago board of
trade claimed the proprietary right in
its quotations, and under the new
bucket shop law sought TO compel
grain spectators in different states to
pay for the use of them. The Christie
company fought the case on the ground
that the Chicago board OF trade itself
was a bucket shop without standing.
and further that its quotations We're

form of an application by the board
of trade for a temporary injunction.
Judge Hook grants the temporary in
junction Christie's attorneys an
nounced that a supercedeas bond would
be given, which would operate 10 stay
the execution of the DEGREES pending
appeal.
With the injunction stayed, it will be
possible for Christie to continue get
ting his quotations by secret means, as
he has been doing, without rendering
himself liable for contempt of court.
The suit also enjoins the Western
Union Telegraph company and the
Postal Telegraph company from dis
trlbuting or giving the Chicago boards
quotations to the Christie company.
The court contends that it is unnec-
essary in this case to define the exact
limitation of this property right or to
ascertain the full extent of the control
which the board of trade has over its
quotations. 1t is held to be sufficient
If the board possesses a measure of
ownership and control. On this phase
of the question. Judge Hook says:
The quotations are the results of
transactions between the members of
the board of trade, upon the floor Of
an exchange hall owned by it and
maintained by its own expense. They
are gathered by its own employees. They
possess a positive commercial value
when instantaneously and continuously
transmitted and distributed in the city
of Chicago and throughout the coun-
try, and are a sources OF substantial
revenue 10 the complainant.

Boards Proprietary Right.


1T is conceded that no legal obliga-
ton rests upon the board of trade
to gather and distribute the quota tons.
1t may abandon the gathering and dis
tribution of them while continuing the
transaction of its usual business"
OF the contentious Of the Christie
company that the continuous market
quOtati tons are of such a character that
they have become clothed with pub
lie interest and that as long as the
board continues in the, business Of coll
lecting and furnishing them to the pub
lie, it must do SO without unjust dis
criminationr Judge Hook says
The conditions imposed are not pro-
hibitive or unreasonable, and they ap-
ply to all persons alike, who desire the
quotations for lawful purposes.
Regarding the contention that the
board of trade does not come into
court with clean hands, in that it is
itself engaged in the constant viola
ton of the Illinois statute against
bucket shops and shat the quotations
are the results of gambling ventures,
the court says:
while the evidence which has been
presented gives rise to a suspicion that
in many of such transactions a de-
livery of the property bought or sold
was not contemplated by any of the
parties thereto, it is not sufficient to
justify a general decree of outlawry
against the board of trade and the bus
mess conducted by its members.
THE rules of that body expressly
denounce the practice of dealing in diff
ferences on the fluctuations in the
market price of any commodity, and
without a bona fide purchase and sale
for actual delivery, and provide for the
expulsion of offending members. These
rules impose upon the seller the OBJ
legation to deliver the property sold
and upon the purchaser the obligation
to receive it,
The decision was something of sur
prise TO Mr.. Christie and his attorneys.
1t had been expected that it would be
in line with the rulings of the United
States courts al Cincinnati and Indian
apols recently. which declared that
the Chicago board of trade was with
out standing in court because of its
own violations of the anti-bucket shop
| law.
The question of property right was
not decided IN those cases.
