business with the Elgin Elevator

WORRALL CONTINUES TESTIMONY
IN GRAIN CASE
Owing to Vaccinations Against Him
He Could Not Buy in Chicago or
Omaha and Was Shut Out of Best
Markets

in answer to questions from the at
tOrneys from the concerns from whom
he claims damages, Thomas D. Wor
rail- continued at Omaha to narrate
his knowledge of the existence of the
alleged elevator trust and the man
ner in which he says it tried to pull
verize him between the upper and the
neither millstones. Because he did
not passively submit and because OF
his personal friendship with the grain
men of the state, he says he has
managed from time to time to make
business deals with the so-called reg
ulars," attempting time and again to
effect some settlement whereby he
could still remain an Independent and
be unmolested by the alleged trust.
His Markets Tempered With
His troubles, he said included not
only the inability to purchase grain
from Nebraska elevator men and to
sell in Omaha to local. concerns, but
he found his markets In Chicago had
been tempered with, and when he
wanted to erect elevators a, advan-
tageous points in the state he found
the railroads so tough proposition
to deal with that he is still without a
single Nebraska elevator. The one
little elevator which the company
possesses is located on ground leased
from the street railway company in
Council Bluffs.
Continuing his deposition Thursday
morning, he said that he had often
times on the floor of the grain ex-
change endeavored to buy grain from
the Omaha Elevator company, the
Trans Mississippi Grain company, the
Westbrooke-G Gibbons Grain company,
and the Nebraska-Iowa Grain COM
pany, and would many times have the
first bid on it but that these COM
panies had seen fit to let others have
the grain at the same price-notwith-
standing the rule among the members
of the exchange that when man
puts up the first bid on grain, he is
SuIlllcu " IL IL 10 OoAu a. eAoe
price.
Worrall was asked if he was in
position to dispose of the grain If 1t
had been sold him, and he replied
that he would have sold it to farmers
and to feeders in northern Missouri
and southern Iowa, and other places
wherever he could find a market.
Threatened = Bovcott
He testified that since January 1,
1905, he had handled about $4,000 to
100000 bushels of grain a month, not
including the month OF April.
He stated in answer to question
that he had not considered his COM
pany an irregular" from it's incep-
ton, but that he had since found it
out; that it had been SO considered
by the Nebraska Grain Dealers asso-
citation.
Attorney Smith asked whether it
was not true that the Updike Grain
company had purchased from Wor-
rail- in July, 1904 Worrall replied
that it had purchased more than any
others.
"Then it was not quite so orthodox
as some of the Others" remarked Mr..
Smith.
"That tells the story exactly" Wor-
rail- shot back.
Mr.. Worrall proceeded at some
length of time to tell of the meeting

Work Of the Combine

| WORK OF the Combine
He came to my Office as many a:
half dozen times during the time
/ that negotiations were pending, ant
tried to get my consent to meet hin
and other members of the Nebraska
Grain Dealers association, and also
members of the Omaha Grain ex
change, and talk matters over and FL
them up. AS first refused positively
but finally consented, after a good
deal of insistence. The meeting was
held at the private office of Mr.. Cow
gill, manager Of the Mississippi
Grain company. In attendance were
! Mr.. Cowgirl, Mr.. Westbrooke, Mr.
Brown, Mr.. Updike and myself. Soor
after / arrived Mr.. Cowgirl com
menced, and he said some very
naughty things, and the conversation
carried on there wouldn't look well
in print
They told me what they could do
and what they would do if / insisted
on handling the grain that came from
the farmers elevators. WELL" I said
IF you can do the things you say
you can, then this is more power
than ought to be vested in the hands
of any one body of men. / am going
to handle the grain of the Elgin
Elevator company. You can ruin
me financially, but am going to do
it,"
We agreed, finally, that they would
do business with me If, when I had q
car of grain from an irregular ship
per, / would say so.
The next day at the exchange
things were different. They began
to bid on me, and this kept on for
several days. But / soon saw the
African in the bush. saw that they
had agreed among themselves to al
ternate in their bids. One day one
would bid, and the next day another.
/ asked them not to bear down so
hard on me, but they told me to wait,
and matters would be adjusted. I
waited patiently, but without results.
Tells The Story
When the question was put to him
IL dealers in the outside markets had
refused to take his grain he said that
while, for time, he had received bids
for grain from the j. Rosenbaum
Grain company, Harris, Scotch &
Co., Nye, jerks & Co., and Bartlett
Frazier of Chicago and from Hall &
Baker of Kansas City these people
discontinued sending him bids and
he found later, on Investigation, that
a committee of Omaha grain dealers
had called on some of them to protest
against their dealing with the Wor-
rail- Grain company. Here is his
story:
Early in February when we had
been told that the Omaha Elevator
company, the Trans Mississippi Grain
company and the Updike Grain COM
pany had put up job whereby the
little fellows and the irregular deal
ers could not dispose of their grain
at the same price that they did I
went to Chicago, called on Harris,
Scotch & Co., and asked if it we're
true. Joseph Schneideker told me
that a committee from Omaha had
called upon him and wanted his COM
pany 70 refuse to bid the Worrall
Grain company, the Exchange Grain
company, the George Adams Grain
company and the Nebraska Hay and
Grain company, because we bothered
them and they thought they could not
get as large profit as they felt they
were justified in having. Schneideker
told me that he never entered into an

After the examination was over they were al

sworn to that the three alleged Oriental women
were Ahdirs relatives. As to just what sort of
relatives they are the immigration officials are
not certain.
Inspector William PearsaH said that he had
satisfied himself that they were not 'harem"
but ne would not say how he found it out. All
this was denied on the pier by man who posed
as their manager

When the party left the immigration Bureau
they drove up Broadway in an omen baroucbe

strangeness of their costumes. They went to

crowd as Abdil Kader and~three wives When
the clerk saw this on the register he called the
proprietor who would not permit them to re-

SNEEZED TERTEBR4E OUT
Rhode Island Man almost Broke
His Neck.

FaWtucket. R. L. Aug. 5.-No man ever came
nearer actually to sneezing his head off than did
James Coyle to-day. Coyle has been famous as
a sneezer for years. When he pauses on the
street and let's forth all the strength of his lungs
In sneeze leaves disappear from the trees and
stout naples bend as though before hurricane
But to-day Coyle outdid even himself. He was
eating breakfast. when a crumb found its way
up his nostril. AT once Coyles shoulders hunched
up back of his ears as he prepared for noble
effort.
He turned his head over his left shoulder
which was lucky, or he might have sent his head
rolling across the table. The sneeze came and
went. It was mighty one, but Coyle remained
with his head over his shoulder and began to
utter inarticulate cries He had sneezed so hard
that his vertebree were out of joint slight
hlow would have broken his neck
Doctors were hastily sent for and Strengthened
him out. They said he would have died had
his neck remained out of place a half hour.
