PROTECTING THE SHIPPERS.
Kansas Grain Inspection Bureau Prov
ing of Value in Kansas.

John Radford. head of the Kansas
grain inspection department, which
the Kansas City board Of trade is try
ing to knock out of existence so that
the grain shippers of the state may
have their way on weights without in
reference, put some very strong testi-
mony into the record yesterday at the
taking of dispositions which is now in
progress in Kansas City. The evidence
yesterday showed clearly that the
weighers Of the Kansas department
are protecting the shippers from gross
frauds on the part of the elevator men.
John K Mcintyre, of Rosedale. is a
weigher at the Memphis elevator for
the Kansas state department. He told
of an alleged effort by which a ship
per would have lost 1885 pounds of
wheat. Three carloads of wheat were
received at the elevator April 20, he
said. The wheat was sent to the third
floor to be weighed. The bins were so
arranged, he said. that not all the
wheat went into the scale he was
weighing on. and later he discovered
the shortage. Two of the cars had
shippers weights attached, but the
''The superintendent, Kent, wanted
me to keep still so he could put the
shortage on the man who had no ship
per's weight with his car" testified
Mcintyre yesterday. HE said: Let's
square this thing up. I will send over
and get six bottles of cold beer and fix
everything told him he would play
hell Squaring it up with me-"
The 1880 pounds was about 273
bushels Of wheat. which would have
been lost by the shipper and added to
the profits of the elevator. The wheat
being worth about Z 5 cents bushel to
the farmer, the loss to the man with
out shippers weight card would
have amounted to something like 5000.
This evidence was introduced to show
the protection furnished the farmer by
the state inspection department.
John O'Ieary, another weighmaster
Of the Kansas department. said that the
board Of trade weighers copied his fig-
ures sometimes, but did not attend 10
boards man at the Union Pacific ele-
vator,. he said, by putting out some
dummy cards with erroneous figures on
them. The boards man copied the fig
ures. he testified, and sent them into
the headquarters.
Alexander femme, who has been a
Weighmaster in Kansas for seven years
and has worked in nearly all the elevat-
ors, testified that he had seen wheat
mixed with rye and sent out to be sold
as wheat. Rye is cheaper than wheat
and lowers the grade when the inspec-
tors detect it. But if the right kind OF
rye is mixed with the wheat and is done
in a systematic manner the fraud is
hard to detect without very careful ex-
animation The miller buying mixed
grain suffers Rye mixed with wheat
makes an inferior brand of -four The
flour has a tint of blue, while the pure
flour is white.
At the Frisco elevator. Mr. femme
said the board of trade man got his fig
ures from the scale tickets and never
watched the weighing

this city raided an alleged joint here
Monday and while the force guarded
the doors awaiting the arrival of one
of their number who was diSpa tch G q
to the county attorneys office for a
warrant, the men inside got busy TO de-
stroy all evidence of their business.
They. lowered the beer and whisky
through a window. where a friendly
resident carried it away. When the
officers arrived with a writ and broke
into the room they found nothing but
a few empty bottles.
The scheme would have worked all
right had it not been for the arrival of
an expressman with a fresh shipment
of goods, who delivered one case in the
presence of the officers, although the
proprietors of the place denied that the
stuff was theirs. The officers seized
this case, however, to use as evidence.
