 THE BOOKMAKERS

Chicago July 26-After iudicting twenty-four bookmakers this afternoon, the grand jury ordered Sheriff Barrett to take immediate steps to stop all gam bling at the race tracks in Cook county. Before leaving the jury room Sheriff Bar rett promised the jurors that he would comply with their request in every de- tall If the order of the grand jury is carried out it means the absolute sup pression of any bookmaking or gambling whatever at Harlem. Hawthorne and Worth tracks.
 With the ban against betting enforced, 1t is believed the tracks will be com pelled to close their gates, as was the case at Washington Park when Mayor Carter Harrison prohibited all forms of betting at the race tracks under his jur- isdiction. The order came too late for him to take any action this afternoon, but the sheriff said that the crusade against the bookmakers would begin to- morrow at Hawthorne.
 Among the bookmakers who were in- dicted today are Fred Cook, owner of English Lad; Steve LHommedieu Mar GUS Cartwright, R. J. Weller, Barney Schreiber and William Applegate

The French have not forgotten their experience against the black flags during the Tonkinese war. throughout which peace was nominaly maintained with China and the belief is current that the Japanese now will readily obtain un- official aid from the Chinese soldiers by promises of good pay and hints of the possibilities of plunder.-
 Russia could only make representations at Pekin, where the reply doubtless would be that the troops had been or dered to observe strict neutrality, and that any Chinamen fighting for Japan were merely brigands.

Trouble May Arise-Wisconsin
Road Carrying Much Southwestern
Wheat to Minneapolis Mills.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Jan. 2b.-There are muir
murings in Chicago railroad circles
which are likely to result in another
serious disagreement, in the near fu-
ture, over the movement Of grain
from the southwest to the Minneapolis
mills, resulting from recent action by
the Wisconsin Central in making rates
sufficiently attractive to divert the
greater part Of the haul from the di-
rect lines between st. Paul and the
Missouri river to routes by way OF
Chicago.
1t appears from reliable, but not
official source, that for ten days or
more the Wisconsin Central and GER
tain other roads have practically
monopolized the haul Of southwestern
wheat. 1t is pointed out that the
total traffic of the Wisconsin Central
is exceedingly large for a line that has
no rails Of its own within 500 miles
Of the Missouri river. NotWithstand-
ing this fact the Wisconsin Central
has been doing an excellent business
in this class of freight traffic. The
wheat of the northwest for several
weeks past has been insufficient to
keep the big mills in Minneapolis
going to their full capacity and, as
has been the custom under similar
conditions, the grain grown in the
SOulll west Has UGeu uIdWl OlI " llAoS.
the deficit. The rate from the Mis-
souri, river to Minneapolis by direct
lines is IA cents. 1t is shown that
more than 90 per cent of the total
movement of wheat from that section
to Minneapolis is now handled by the
St. Paul-Chicago lines, by which it is
| argued that the thru rates granted
for the 900-mile haul must be even
less than the direct rate.
The Wisconsin CentraIs haul OF
southwestern grain northbound from
Chicago is contributed by one Of the
principal lines out Of Chicago thru
the southwest to the Pacific coast
This road collects wheat at it's loca
points west of the Missouri river anc
delivers it to the Wisconsin Central II

the southwestern line referred to the

It is thought probable that rat.
changes will be made in the near fu
