BRIEFS IN PRINT
Judge Grosscup's Request in Rate-Cutting
Case In CHICAGO,

Judges Grosscup and Phillips asked the
attorneys in the temporary injunction rate
case in Chicago yesterday afternoon to
submit printed briefs for their arguments.
This indicates that decision will not be
reached for some weeks. Most of the
afternoon was taken up by Judge Dick
inson, attorney for the illinois Central.
Judge GrOSscup asked him: r,:+
IF the majority of shippers along a GER
tain line of railway are Disseminated
against and driven out of business are
not the hundreds Of farmers along the
same line injured by having to sell their
products to only one purchaser?' .2<
THAT point seems to lie outside this
BILL said Mr.. Dickinson, Though I adj
nit that the wrong is sufficiently set forth
as to grain shippers H..
: But who can assert the right Of all
those farmers, if not the government I'M

Judge Grosscup. -
'"Fhey can assert it themselves, was
the reply of Mr.. Dickinson. "They can

SNOW RECORD IS BROKEN
There Is More Snow, Now Than
There Ever Has Been, at
This Date. 81

The snowstorm that ceased about 8
o'clock a. m. to-day, after thirty-one
hours Of pernicious activity, increased the
snowfall for the season to the greatest On
record up to Dec. 16. -
Ten inches of snow have fallen since
o'clock yesterday morning. Nine and
half inches had been previously deposited
from the date of the first flakes, Nov. IA.
The total amount of snow up to to-day
was. therefore, nineteen and one-half
inches. The largest amount heretofore
recorded for the same time was sixteen
inches in 1888.
Fortunately. a fracture of the weather
bureaus local record does not demonstrate
that nature has amended her constitution.
The official record is brief. 1t is an un-
considered trifle in comparison with the
memory Of the oldest inhabitant. Off
cially Minneapolis had no weather at all
before 1891. The town struggled along on
climate.
Yet. such as it is, the federal record for
the eleven years preceding lSo2 lndlcates
an average Of eight and one-half inches OF
snow each year up to Dec 16. The small
est snowfall was two and one-half inches,
in 1895 and 1899. The largest, as mem
toned, was sixteen inches in 1893. 49,.
At 7 o'clock last evening more snow was
measured on the level in Minneapolis than
anywhere else in the west except at
Ilerre, .. D.-WHeIc Lie uePl1l was IIAo
same as here--twelve inches-and at
Houghton. Mich, where fourteen inches
was reported. At Pennington, Mimi, the
record was II inches and at Marquette,
Mich. at Shakopee and at Maple Plain,
Mimi, the depth was ten inches.
Snow shoveling has been more fash
ionable than Christmas shopping. In the
business district that snow has felt neg
lected which hasn't been deposited in
three separate places by three setsapf ZEN
thusiastic shovelers. The street railway
company kept it's plows moving through
out last night and kept the tracks open.
Far-sighted merchants FASTENED last
night to request Bob McMullen, street
commissioner for the fourth ward, to
keep the snow away from the curb so tina
carriage people could ride up in COM
fort before the retail stores to-day. Mr..
McMullen came down like the Assyrian
with his wheeled scrapers. His cohorts
threw snow all night. This morning the
employees of the merchants shoveled the
snow off the sidewalks and piled it in AL
pine peaks along the curb.

FLOUR RATE FIGHT

= Flour rate matters will be compiled ted
following action of the western roads
yesterday unless the eastern lines recede
from their position of Dec s.. The west
ern roads decided to bill all flour out of
Minneapolis until JAM 1, 1903 on the
basis of 22A cents for exportat and %
cents per hundred on domestic, and to
demand their regular proportion of this
rate to Chicago, which allows the west
ern roads III cents to Chicago on ex-
port and S3 cents on domestic.

western lines that they would not accept
less than their regular proportions of the
25-cent rate on export and 271 scent

It is probable that the millers will
stand by the western roads in this at

claims for overcharges after the first of
the year. It is understood that the east

taken and a break may result.

CARS KEPT MOVING
Heavy Snow Did Not Cause Any Serious
Delays.

Despite the heaviest snowfall of the
winter yesterday, street cars were delayed
but little. The recent increase in the
amount of power available did away with
delay from that cause, and the tracks
were kept clear by frequent trips Of big
snow plows. Most Of the railway trains
were somewhat late. But the absence OF
a strong wind prevented that drifting
which demoralizes railway traffic. The
telegraph and telephone companies were
also fortunate. Their wires were not

TRUSTS IN FORMER DAYS.
In Ancient Times Monopolists Cor
nered Food Stuffs and Other
Products.

The cornering of foodstuffs by mon
archs and their agents is said to have
been the earliest form of trust that
ever existed and as they had the power
to prevent any bear movement in OPP
position their deals could not help be-
ing successful ones. Accounts of such
transactions are to be found in Assyr-
ian records dating back 1000 or 5000
years; and the Bible describes a very
large operation of this kind carried out
by Joseph, when, out of the wealth of
the seven fat years, he provided for the
poverty of the seven lean ones. The
Romans did the same thing through
their tax farmers, who laid embargoes
on the food supplies of the provinces
against arrears of taxes, and the prob
ability is that similar operations were
also conducted with regard to manu-
facturers.
Another form of monopolies, known
as trade guilds, has existed from very
early times, and these, in the middle
ages, amounted practically to the cor
nering of certain arts and industries
as well as means of distribution. The
greatest of them was the famous
league of the Hanse towns. So close
combine" was this that it possessed
its own fleets of armed merchantmen
and even armies of mercenaries in or
der to guard it's monopoly-a length to
which not even American capitalists
have yet ventured to proceed.
