HAS HE SEEN NEW LIGHT?
A Rumor That Knox Now Thinks a
Trust Amendment to the Con-
stitution Necessary.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-The question now
before the republicans of the senate is
whether Attorney General Knox, having
taken a position with respect to the trust
problem in his Pittsburg speech, is ready
to move forward with the procession and
contribute all possible aid in the forma-
ton of antitrust legislation. a..
The committee on judiciary of the SEN
ate has addressed formal written invita-
ton to the attorney general to appear be-
fore the committee and give his views
| on the question. He has not replied, and
there are intimations whispered about the
senate chamber that Mr.. Knox is not
anxious to appear. This statement Is re-
ceived with unusual interest by the sena-
| tors who are hoping for action on the
trust question at this session, for they
have desired to question Mr.. Knox in view
of the statements contained in his Pitts
burg speech o the effect that the con-
| situtional powers of the government
have not been exhausted in the legislation
on the statute books known as the Sher-
man antitrust law. That the senate COM
rnittee on the judiciary and several lead
| ing republican senators are DESTROYS of
| moving promptly In the matter ofklegisla-
| tion on this question is shown BY their
action in inviting Mr.. Knox, and also in
| the fact that a number Of measures on
| the subject have already been introduced.
/ Senator Hoar, chairman of the commit
| tee, has given notice of his purpose to
| introduce a bill Of his own on the sub
| ject. Attorney General Knox has said
that he will prepare no bill.
It is also rumored that Mr.. Knox is
not anxious to appear before the senate
| Judiciary committee to tell how the
| trusts can be reached without a consti-
| tuional amendment because he now thinks
! such an amendment necessary.

MANY In A SWlNDLE
Conspiracy Of Farmers of Plumas
and a Grain Buyer to Defraud
Elevator Owner.
Credit Given for More Bushels Than
Delivered-All Cases Settled
Out of Court.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 1S.-A case Of
fraud which should be interesting to ele-
vator men was settled out of court at
Gladstone yesterday, after several adj
journments. Edward O'Reilly of Winnt-
peg owns an elevator at Plumas. 1t was
in charge Of J. A. Davis, who for some
time past was suspected of certain irTeg
uiarites, and the services Of Detective
Graves of this city were engaged in the
matter. After three weeks work Mr..
Graves reported some interesting discov-
cries, as result Of which there We're sew
eral arrests.
From the reports of the detective it ap-
peared that a systematic system of fraud
had been carried on during the past two
years and that seventeen or eighteen
farmers were implicated. The modus
operandi was for the elevator man to give
credit to the person who delivered the
grain for more than was actually deliv-
cred, and the extra amount paid for the
grain was evenly divided between the two
Up to June 1t was found that there was
a shortage Of between 1900 and 1900
bushels in the elevator. instead of the
usual surplus. How the grain in the ele-
vator stands at present could not be as
certained. Detective Graves secured the
elevator tickets from the grain merchant s
Office before leaving to make his investi-
cation, and these he succeeded in com
pairing with the thresher's tickets, which
showed the actual amount of the crop.
One farmer who had two elevator re-
ceipts for $50 and 100 bushels respectively
could only show that he had threshed ISL
bushels of grain. Another who had ele-
vator tickets for 1000 bushels Of wheat
had only forty acres under cultivation and
his yield was only about eighteen bushels
to the acre. One Of the most glaring OF
the cases discovered was where a farmer
had been working OH shares with the own
er of the property. One thousand bushels
had been threshed, and the farmers share
of this was 921 bushels, while the owner
| of the property got for his share 421 BUSH
els.
Detective Graves caused a good deal OF
CONSERVATION in the eneighborhood, and
strong efforts were made to settle the case
out of court, and ultimately succeeded.

presidents cabinet, and a. soot-begr1med
ianitor at the Nebraska state capitol were
the principals to a. dramatic incident to-

The former Wisconsin senator came to
Lincoln to argue case before the Ne

the office Of the clerk of the supreme
court. and with his back to the door, D.
Eastman. one Of the janitors, a man
grown white with years, entered the
room and startled the party by breaking
out in resounding tones: 49,.

Mr.. Villas wheeled like a flash. The
recognition was mutual and the two men
threw themselves into each others arms.
Eastman was a member of Captain Villas
company in the civil war. 1t was their
first meeting in thirty eight years.
