CORN RUSHING EAST
Milwaukee's Disturbing Export Rate
Brings Profits ALI Around.


Corn is rushing to the east-coast
docks because normal rates will be re-
stored by Jan. /. It is the desire Of the
lines to handle as much corn before that
time as possible. The Milwaukee, which
profting thru the deal and the COM
peting Atlantic lines, which did not
openly announce cut, are getting lots
Of traffic also. The gulf lines are ap-
parently satisfied.
It was discovered at the conference
in Chicago that the Milwaukee had
really made a hit at the gulf lines by
it's rate. 1t desired to come to some
definite understanding as to differen-
tials and rates. The Atlantic lines have
won as a result of the Milwaukee 8
move. The gulf lines were determined
to have a differential of AZ cents from
while the Atlantic roads maintained
that 3 and cents, respectively, was
enough. The matter was compromised
with differential of 31a and AZ cents.
The rates were fixed at II cents from
Kansas City and 1S cents from Omaha
to the gulf, with 2111a cents from Oma-
ha and Kansas City to Baltimore. These
rates will continue in effect from Jan.
] to July as matter of trial.
The tariff for the haulage Of corn to
the gulf is 14H1a cents from Kansas City
deducting all charges. the gulf lines,
cents. while they have agreed to adj
vance the rate Jan. / to II cents. It is
estimated that the Milwaukee road, af-
ter paying elevator charges, earns about
5.3 to cents for hauling the grain from
Kansas City to Chicago.

The Gilhoolev jury.

The extent to which the transfers
strike permeated the Chicago COM
munity may be inferred from the tor
tuous labor involved in securing the
Gilhooley jury. During the strike, a
man named Carlstrom was fatally hurt
In a fight under circumstances which
pointed suspiciously to his having been
deliberately set upon and assaulted with
intent to kill. Enough facts leaked out
TO Justify the state in returning an
Indictment against Gilhooley as the man
who was hired by one Of the unions to
do Carlstrom to death.
GilhoOley's case was called for trial
several weeks ago, and up to within
"a week the lawyers having been exam
ling and rejecting veniremen. Upward
slof 1000 talesmen were examined, and
of these, 720 were excused without ex-
s animation or were not found; ISL were
peremptorily challenged, and the rest
were excused for cause, The case is
said to have cost the state $4,000 be-
fore it began.

The New York Contest.

The Hearst contest for the mayoralty
of New York is still on, tho little or
nothing is said about it in the news
papers. The reason of this is not far
to seek. The contest is in the courts
and until final decision is rendered on
the Questions. at issue nothing can or
will be done toward recounting the vote.
The contentious of Mr.. Hearst's law
yers are that the return was not an hon
est one, that votes which were not cast
for Mcclellan were counted for him and
votes which were cast for Hearst were
not counted at all and that these er.
rors, whether accidental or Intentional,
were sufficient to reverse the apparent
verdict and that Mr.. Hearst was really
chosen mayor Of the city by 10000 plu-
rality. They ask the courts to make an
order for a general opening of the bal
lot boxes and recanvass in order to
demonstrate the truthfulness or falsity
Of these claims. An order was made
in the lower court ordering recount,
but not a recanvass. Mr.. Hearst OBJ
tdAuSu dl dl14cAu1uSuG W CulS OIOSI lO III"
clude recanvass. From this order the
Mcclellan people appealed. Their lead.
ing attorney is Judge Alton B.Parker,
who contends that it would be never.
ending job to recanvass the ballots, that
it never was in the intention Of the law
that the ballots should be preserved for
the purpose of having somebody else
besides the election officers counting
them; that formerly it was the practice
to burn the ballots on election night and
that the act for their preservation for
six months was intended for nothing ex-
cept to enable the state to secure evil
dence against corrupt election officers.
In short, Mr.. Parker's argument is that
that the election having been held and
the tally sheets having been returned
showing a plurality for Mr.. Mcclellan,
that ends it. Even if the election was
stolen the office of mayor must remain
in the hands Of the receiver of the stolen
goods. The ballots can be inspected
only for the purpose Of convicting those
who were the agents of the steal, but
cannot affect the steal itself. -.
This novel doctrine is gravely ad-
vanced as reason why the prima facie
title to the office Of mayor shall not be
disturbed notwithstanding it may have
been obtained by the grossest fraud.
It does not seem possible that the court
of appeals will indorse such a travesty
upon popular elections. r.~

Minneapolis & st. Louis directors
will meet in New York this week to
take action on the seniannual dividend
on preferred stock. The regular 2h
per cent will be declared. It is possi-

Earnings are equivalent to the divi-
for the directors to decide whether it
is advisable to resume dividends, or to
accumulate still larger surplus.
At the local offices it is said that
the matter is for New York action, and
that no advice will be received by the
secretary here until the resolution de-
claring the dividends has been passed.
