How the Pool Is Managed.

The workings of the pool are alleged
to be carried out thru price commit
tee, which meets daily and fixes prices
to be paid for grain. The prices are
said to be printed on cards and I'M
signed, are sent to all regular deal
ers in the state. Minute details are
given Of how this price committee
works. The petition states that the
membership is not confined to Nebraska,
but extends to the big grain firms in
Chicago, Minneapolis, Duluth, Toledo,
Buffalo, New York, Philadelphia and
other eastern cities, and that when
these eastern firms are notified that a
business with the irregular, refus.
ing, to, buy grain from him at any price.
Nebraska dealers also refuse to con-
sign grain to the irregular dealer,
who is thus forced out Of business.
Tt is further alleged that the trust
has conspired with the railroads for the
purpose Of preventing the WorreH COM
pany from constructing elevators along
the railroads and that such sites have
been refused by different railroads in
Nebraska.
The Nebraska laws are very strict
where pooling or agreeing to control
figures of farm products are concerned.
On this point the statute says: That
| 1t shall be unlawful for any grain deal
| er. corporation, ETC., to enter into agree
ment with other grain dealers for the
pooling Of prices of different and com
| peting dealers Ito divide between them
| the earnings Of such dealers. or for

shall pay for grain ~ OF stock

PECULIARITIES.
:. IN GRAIN IRA [! TRADE:
Suit in Nebraska to Develop the
| Facts -Independents Resort
to the Courts.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Omaha, Neb., June PA suit was
filed in Blair, Neb., this week for
$12s,oOO by the Worrell Grain company
most prominent grain dealers and ele-
vator men in the state. Back of the
suit is a revolt Of the farmers and grain
producers against the socalled eleva-
tor trust,'' which is said to be forcing
down the price Of grain, and forcing
out of business those independent deal
ers who have attempted to do business.
Thomas D. Worrell, president Of the
firm bringing the suit, has been in the
five years, and was formerly a member
Of the Nebraska Grain Dealers associa-
ton. In his petition he sets forth
some interesting charges as to the
workings Of the combination and claims
to show how prices are kept below the
regular market quotations. Because
Worrell kicked over the traces and re-
fused to be bound by the agreements
Of the association, he alleges that an
just as other Independent concerns have
been boyco5ted,,e and it is this fact which
has caused him to ask for damages.
The petition sets forth in minute de
tail the manner in which the elevator
trust operates to fix a rigid maximum
price to be paid farmers for their
! grain, the absolute humiliation of
competition by boycott Of all independ-
ent grain dealers, and the methods en-
ployed by the trust to keep the machin-
cry of the organization in working or
der. The defendants include the Omaha
Elevator company, controlled by the
Peavey estate. Of Minneapolis, and in
which number Of prominent Omaha
| business men own stock, and thirty
vaator lines in the state. They have
not made answer to the suit, but are
being served with the papers as fast as
possible.
The petition alleges that the trust
people control 1880 elevators in Ne
brasla which practically handle the
There are fifty independent elevator,
in the state which handle a small
amount of grain each.

THOSE DEVLIN LOANS.
Government Official Says There Was
No Power to Prevent Them.

Washington, July lit. P. Kane,
the deputy comptroller of the cur
rency, in speaking of criticisms of
western bank examiners in not dlScov-
ering certain alleged improper loans
made to c. J. Devlin of Topeka, who
recently failed, pointed out that there
was no authority in law to prevent the
loans.
THE law" said Mr.. Kane. prohibits
the making of loans by a national
bank to an individual or firm in excess
of 10 per cent of its capital stock. In
the present case Mr.. Devlin was iden-
titled with a number of corporations
which borrowed from Kansas and Illi-
nois banks. Each was permitted to
borrow to the 10 per cent limit, the
fact that the same individual was at
the head of these various organizations
not standing in the way of their Dor
rowing the money"
Mr.. Kane said the comptroller office
had been fully informed of the loans
made to companies in which Mr.. Dew
lin was interested. In this case, as IN
others where long line of loans TO
practically the same end exist, the at
tention Of the bank was called to the
matter. Mr.. Kane continued:
while it is bad banking to loan ex-
cessively to one interest, it is not
illegal.
1T is the practice of the comptroller
office where excessive accommodations
were found to have been made to one
| interest to require reduction within
prudent limits. That was done in the
cases of the banks which had exceeded
such accommodation to a Devlin COM
pany.
I'm such criticisms as have been
made in the present instance the
proper distinction is not drawn be-
tween loan and the discount of BUSH
ness or commercial paper. While loans
to one individual or firm are subject
to the limit of 10 per cent of capital
stock of a bank, there is no limit to
the amount of business paper which a
bank may discount. Devlin's liabi1i-
ties to the Topeka bank consist of his
endorsement of business paper of the
several coal corporations in which he
was interested.
Several letters were sent to one of
the Illinois banks which has just closed
as the result of Devlin's failure. The
bank examiner reported the excessive
loan at once and the next statement
of the bank showed that the excessive
loan had been wiped out. Two other
banks heavily carrying Devlin paper,
were advised by this Office that they
were on the danger line. They did not
reduce the loan. The comptroller had
done all he could to correct the abuse
in each of those banks. The examiner
has reported there was no failure on
his part in warning them

in expending a large amount of money
for the construction Of a canal for the
benefit of commerce, then it is justified,
pending the construction of the canal,
in operating this railroad for the same
purpose And since it is necessary to
operate the road, it's facilities should
be improved so as to enable it to handle
commerce in the most efficient manner.
"It is estimated by the engineers that
it will be from ten to fifteen years be-
fore the canal can be opened for use,
and in the meantime, the railroad must
perform in so far as a railroad can,
the commercial functions of the canal
The operation of this railroad is no more
in competition with private enterprise
than the construction and operation OF
the canal are in competition with pri-
vate enterprise; and, if products can be
transported between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts at less cost by this line
should receive the benefit of this

CALHOUN WILL GO.
To Investigate the Asphalt Situation in
Venezuela.

Chicago. July 11.-William ]. Calhoun
of Chicago has been selected by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to act as a special COM
missioner to visit Venezuela and deter
mine the equity of the Asphalt COM
pany's claims and other vexatious ques-
tons.
Mr. Calhoun aside from being a law
yer of distinction is not without ex-
perience in tasks of diplomatic delicacy
such as the present one must be, for he
went to Cuba for President Mckinley
on a somewhat similar mission before
the SpaniSh-American war. When the
report of the appointment was brought
to Mr.. Calhoun he refused to discuss
the matter but did not deny it.
From other sources it is ascertained,
however, that the matter has been set
tied and that an official announcement
may be expected from Washington soon.
Mr.. Calhoun was a member of the inter-
state commerce commission from 1898
to 1900.

DIVERS WILL TRY.
To Get Under the SunI<en Submarine
Farfadet

Paris. July 1.-THE ministry of
marine today received a dispatch
from Bizerta, Tunis, announcing that
the divers are seeking to make a
tunnel under the submarine boat Far
fadet, which still lies deeply embedded
in the mud bottom of the harbor, in
the hope that they will thereby be
able to pass hawsers around the boat
and hoist her to the surface. The
dispatch does not mention the crew
of the Farfadet, the succoring of
whom has been entirely abandoned.
Collins have been prepared and are
awaiting the bodies. A large relief
fund has been raised for the families
of the victims. Marine Minister
Thomson continues to supervise the
work oC raising the Farfadet, and is
also consulting with the commandant

MAYOR LOST HIS TEETH
In Fight With Newport, Ky. JaiIer
Over Caleb Powers.

Cincinnati, July 11.-Jailer Ploeger
and three other men are out on bail
after arrest by order of Mayor Helm
bold of Newport Ky; Policemen
Flynn and Ratican are out on bond,
having been arrested charged with
resisting United States officers in the
discharge of their duty, and a war
rant has been issued against Mayor
Helmbold on that charge. These
were among the results. of an attempt
of some of the friends of Caleb
Powers former secretary of state of
Kentucky, under indictment for COM
plicity IL the murder of William
Goebel, to furnish the cell which the
comforts than usually fall to the lot
of inmates. During the fight that fol-
lowed when the jailer refused to obey
the mayors orders to place Powers
in a cell other than that prepared for
him, the mayors front teeth were
knocked out, revolvers were drawn,
and almost the entire police force of
Newport was called into action. The
jailer asserts that the order of
United States Judge Cochran when
the Powers case and committed
Powers to the Newport Jail, gave di-
rect control over the prisoner to the
jailer and that the mayor had no
right or authority in the. matter.
The charge against the jailer and
the three men arrested with him is
assault and battery and resisting an
officer. The warrants against the
mayor and the two policemen were
issued by the United States commits
sioner after consultation with the dis
trict attorney, who first directed the
United States marshal and the jailer
to take Powers to his cell and try to
leave him there. This was resisted
