STATE HEARING HAS BEGUN.
Witnesses Admit There Were Suf.
ticient Grounds for the Charges
of Conspiracy-Taken Tn.
der Amusement.

REpURlLc SPECIAL.
Springfield, H.. Jan. 3o.-Iividence given
before the Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission this morning by members and EN-
pioyes of tho Illinois Grain Dealers Asso-
citation tended to place the responsibility
for the alleged conspiracy TO drive indie
pendent grain elevators out of business
upon n discharged empioye. who severed his
connection with the Grain Dealers Asso-
citation OF January 16.
AT one time in the hearing 1t was stated
that 4. W. Lloyd, who was the travelling
representative of the Grain Dealers Assoc
citation. had resigned. and at another 1t was
represented that his services were
~ dispensed with.
Lloyd. whose headquarters have been in
Springfield. was held responsible in the tes-
timony for whatever effect the alleged boy
colt had upon the independent elevator men,
the witnesses in their testimony admitting
that there were sufficient grounds for the
conspiracy charges made by John j. Dren.
nan. general counsel for the Illinois Central
Railroad Company, against the Grain Deal
Crs' Association.
Thomas Costello. a former president of
the Grain Dealers Association. testified
that notices to commission men, warning
them not TO accept grain from independent
elevators. were sent without his knowledge
by II. N. knight of Monticello. who now
Is president OF the Grain Dealers Associa-
ton.
Lloyd was present at the hearing yester-
day. but did not appear uD to 2 O'CLOCK
this afternoon. when the commission took
the case under advisenlent. No indication
is given of the time when RI opinion will
be rendered.
CAR APPOINTMENT.
The testimony introduced tended to show
that Curry & c. of Mason City, the
plaintiffs. were obtaining more than a third
of the cars left at Mason City by the COM
bined c. & A. and Illinois Central railroads.
Curry contends. however. that he should.
under the law. receive a proport!onate share
cf the cars left by the Illinois Central.
The evidence shows that he received less
than a proportionate share of the cars left
Curry's elevator is on the c. & A. tracks.
brennan commended that under the law
the Illinois Central IS not compelled to
give a proportionate share of cars to ele-
vators not on its line. Evidence in sup
port of this contention was given by sew
eral grain dealers and employees. who were
placed upon the stand.
| C. r. Munday of Litchfeld. who has ele-
vators at seven points on the Wabash and
the C. & A. testified that he is entitled
to all the cars on his lines of railroad, and
that dealers at the same places. but not on
his lines. are only entitled to the cars he
does not want.
Among others who gave testimony to-
Weaver. Evanston; Charles Wansle, Ma
Baker. Chicago; B. F. Trackler. Chicago;
E. H. Kristenberry. New Holland, and E.
II. Newell, manager of fifty elevators in

PATTI is STILL YOUNG
Able to Go Out Skating Even If She Is
Over o5,

When Madame Patti was in Toronto last
week she received an invitation from gentle.
man TO go skating on his private lake. 10
the surprise Of everybody and the particular
CONSERVATION Of her managers she accepted the
Offer; she and the Baron Ccdarstrom drove
out OF town some three miles TO the estate OF
the gentleman in question. She further sur
prscd her host and hostess by drawing her
own skates out Of chamos bag. They, Of
course, had steel runners, but were mounted
i'll silver and gold For two solid hours this
giddy young thing disported herself on the
ice with the Barren, who, being a Swedc,
knows, Of course, everything about skating;
in fact he taught her the pastimc on the lake
adjoining Craig.y Nos, on the rare occasions
when ice forms there.
After the sport at the pond, Pa,, returned
TO the mansion and ate ravenous luncheon
in which champagne figured too after which
the Baron and She drove back to town.
After a rest Of half hour she started
dressing for the concert, and at $3.50 was on
the stage Of Massey hall, singing.
At II O'Clock she left the hotel to go to her
private car, where She took supper and started
for Cleveland at midnight.
Quite an active day for any woman, young
old but rather remarkable in the case OF n
celebrated singer. These people usually never
