Northern Pacific Railways of fraud,
droit. malpractice, and gross unpro-
fessional conduct Proceedings have
been begun to disbar him. The North
ern Pacific railway brought charges
originally before the bar association

Lamb are that he had used Peter Power
as a dummy plaintiff in the securities
case; that he tried to prevent Power
from obeying the order of the United
States Court: that he declared under
oath he had held in his own possession
100 shares of stock which Power
claimed TO own. but which really be-

Forty thousand men in the building

Outside New York the contracts are
few
only few buildings in Philadelphia,
Pittshurg, and st. Louis Will be af-

After Sam Parks had tied UP the con-

members of the Parks union. and Iron
workers from out-of-town who were
willing to sign an arbitration agree

ship of nineteen hundred.
The League claims 1t has more men

BUYING UP WHEAT INSURANCE
BY Taking Out Insurance on the Full

Make II Impossible for Outsiders to
Store Grain for Delivery on Deesm-

|side and in this city, is dntlined In in.
formation given to- The republic by
insurance men. E
Corwin H. Spencer, John T. Aelliken,
Thomas Akin, and Herman Kun are
mentioned as leaders in the movefaent
which was begun last SeptemNAr,
which makes 1t seem probable that
will be absolutely impossible for out-I
siders to store their December wheat
in ST. Louis elevators. The supply of
wheat, 1t is said, Is greater than the
bulls anticipated. and to prevent deliv-s
cry on December deals they have core
nered the insurance market on wheat.
OF twenty insurance companies TAX
ing business In st. Louis. 1t is said ev-
eryone of them has written policies fol
st. Louis and East st. Louis elevatorl
aggregating about $3,500,0O0.
The insurance far exceeds the visible
supply in the elevators, but, by taking
out insurance for full capacity OF the
ware houses at the marginal price, the
wheat bulls hope to make 1t impossible
for outsiders to store their grain, whicn
would preclude insuring and necessar-
lily prevent borrowing Of money On the
part OF shorts who would practicable
be frozen out of the market.
