FOLK AFTER NEW WORKERS.
Eastern Capitalists May Be Indicted
for Boodlfng in Missouri.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, July 1.-Circuit Attorney
Folk has information which may lead to
the indictment Of Eastern capitalists for
bribery in connection with the transit bill,
which was passed by the Missouri Legis-
lature in 1899. The statute of limitation
prevents prosecution of those persons liv
ing in Missouri who are alleged to have
been connected with the deal, but those
living in New York are not protected.
1t Is understood that such indictments
would have to be found by the Cole county
grand jury. as the deal was made in JEFF
ferson City, Mo. Should the indictments be
voted. the whole Doodle story would doubt
less come out for the first time.
Several capitalists in New York were
interested in the bill which made possible
the consolidation of the street-car lines in
st. Louis. save the suburban, and it is re-
ported that they authorized the expend-
ture of $4,000 to obtain the desired authori-
ty to consummate the deals. The legislative
agents were empowered, it is said, to use
all the money necessary to overcome the OBJ
jections of any member of the Legislature.
Circuit Attorney Folk expects to complete
the chain Of evidence In a few days.

st. Louis Wheat Brokers Effect a Com
promise with Creditors.

ST. LOUIS, July 1.-The dumping of mil
lions Of bushels Of July wheat on the mar
ket to-day, largely by Thomas A. .Cleage,
following a decline of over 10 cents since
Friday and the consequent calls for mar
gins, coupled with the delivery OF consid-
cradle cash wheat, resulted in the failure
of w. c. Lamping & Co., brokers for
Cleage, to meet margin calls. William c.
Lamping declared that the firm would pay
dollar for dollar. John Thyson, of the John
Thyson Commission Company, principal
broker for Cleage. said all margin calls
on his house had been met and all cash
wheat paid for, and the firm was in good
shape. The firm had taken $4,000 cash
wheat off the hands of Lamping.
Creditors of the firm tonight effected a
compromise settlement which will prevent
the throwing of million bushels of grain
on the market tomorrow and will enable
the embarrassed firm to close its deals at a
figure below the closing market price.
Brokers representing about one-th:rd of
the wheat involved formed a pool and
agreed to settle with Lamping on a basis of
75ihc for July and FAC for September wheat
and 4Sc for July and ACC for September
corn. The closing prices were 767sc and
74stc for wheat and 4Sc and 49ikc for corn.
The pool will also take care of Lamping 8

COST OF FIGHTING SALOONS.
Two Madison County Cases Involve
RemonstratOrs in the Sum of 5000.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON, Ind. July 1.-The cost of
fighting saloon licenses in the Commission
ers' Court Of Madison county will tax the
citizens of Summitville, who recently
demonstrated and carried a case to trial
before the commissioners, almost $1,000.
The costs in two cases amounted to 1868,
the cases being appealed from the commits
sioners to the Superior Court and then dis
missed by the demonstrators. The county
clerk issued fee bills, but, acting under the
advice Of attorneys, the demonstrators re-
fused to settle the costs. The matter was
called to the attention of the County Com
missioners, and that body has ordered
judgments against the demonstrators for
the amounts, thus binding them for costs
which could not be collected by fee bills.
The judgments were signed by the commits
sioners and the sheriff instructed to pro-
coed to collect by attachment, If costs were
not paid within reasonable time. ea
There are two other cases pending in which
the costs amount to more than $1,100 The
only way in which escape is offered is to
withdraw from the remonstrance. The
Anti-Saloon League has made most de-
termined fight against saloons in this coun-
~. and defeated more applications during
the past year than in all the history of the
Commissioners Court before.
