FARMERS PROPOSE
TO MAKE PRICES
FIRST MEETING OF AMERICAN
SOCIETY OF EQUITY.
Would Hold Products so as to Force
Low Quotations Up to Profit
Mark.

East St. Louis, ILL.,. Oct. 24.-The
first national convention Of the Amer1-
can Society of Equity, composed OF
farmers, began here yesterday, with
more than 500 delegates present. The
convention seeks to regulate values OF
grain and farm produce by regulating
the supply in relation TO the demand.
President c. o. Drayton of Green
vile, H., in his annual address, said:
This is not trust nor combine to
force extortionate prices, but rather
an organization to get profitable
pHaces for farm products. 1t is COM
posed of local unions of farmers, es-
tablished at shipping points. The
unions for these points form state as
sociations. These combined form the
national association. Our idea is to
establish graneries in the grain coun-
try, hay barns and places to store all
sorts of farm produce.
IL the mdTK0L is lo", INC SONi0''
will hold the product until demand
forces up profitable prices, when the
goods may be sold. The poor farmer
who cannot afford to hold his grain
will be given a warehouse receipt,
good for two-thirds of the face value
of the grain represented.
The farmers hope by this regula-
ton of supply and demand to estab-
lish market values. In this connec-
ton we will issue daily price bulle-
tins. Telephones in farm houses will
be advocated so that the farmer may
quickly be advised of rise. This
will give him an opportunity to sell at
a profitable figure"

Evidence Taken by Commerce Com
mission Shows Milwaukee
Road in Bad Light.

Kansas City, Oct. 24-Evidences of
favoritism shown to managers of Kan
sas City elevators of the Milwaukee
railway in the matter of granting re-
auctions of grain rates to shippers, the
existence of rule in the Kansas City
hoard of trade threatening it's mem
bers with suspension if they dealt with
irregular grain men, so-talled; a com
blne OF members of that organization
to fix prices. and threats of the grain
dealers association to boycott board of
trade members and others against
whom the associations had issued or
ders, were some of the things brought
out here yesterday at the grain hear
ing begun Monday by the interstate
commerce commission.
A score of grain dealers, elevator
men and railway officials were exam
ined. Commissioners Lane and Clarke
will continue the hearing in Omaha to-
day.
E. w. Shields elevator agent for the
Milwaukee railway and active man
ager of the Simon-Shields Grain com,
pany of Kansas City, who was instruct
ed by the commissioners Monday to
return here from st. Louis, proved an
important witness. Shields said he
was in Chicago last fall, when he was
called upon to advise about a special
export rate on corn. He helped tC
make a rate, effective several days
later, then came home and bought corn
right and left. He shipped three and
a half million bushels of corn under
the special rate. He had bought more
than a million bushels before other
dealers learned that a reduced rate
would be made.
Again this summer, he said, he hap
pened to be waiting around the office
of the vice-president of the Milwau
kee railway, when the railroads agreed
on a cut of two and half cents per
100 pounds on wheat. He went out
and sold several hundred thousand
bushels for delivery under the rate.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-The Madison
train on the st. Paul road was in a
wreck with the eastbound Overland
Limited train No. 2 in the yards
in Chicago last night and one man
was seriously hurt and two passengers
slightly injured. The combination
dining car which was filed with peo-
Ie at the time of the accident suf-
fered greatest damage and the occu-
pants became panic stricken and
many had narrow escapes.
The injured:
Mrs. A. Newstead, Omaha, Neb.
George Atkinson, Chicago, yard
master, badly crushed, condition seri-
GUS.
Anton Norwich, Chicago.
The Overland Limited was standing
on the tracks waiting for the signal
denoting a clear track to the passen-
ger depot down town. For some IN
known reason the Madison and Fox
Lake passenger train switched onto
the same track and plunged into the
limited. The dining car on the
through train was almost split in two
by the collision, and was thrown from
the tracks. Fully a score of passeng-
ers were in the car at the time and
a wild scramble to escape followed.
Men and women jumped through
broken windows and rolled down an
embankment which is fully 80 feet
high at this place. After all had been
picked up it was found that only three
were injured. No one on the Wis
consin train was injured.

UNCLE SAM
CANNOT TAKE
CUBAN BANKER

Washington, Oct. 23.-The United
States can take no steps to bring
about the extraditiOn of Silveira, the
Cuban banker wanted in Havana, and
now said to be in Caracas, Venezuela.
There is no extradition treaty be-
tween the republic of Cuba and
Venezuela and the United States can
not interfere in any way in that case,
according to state department off1ci-
ais, who insist that the relations OF
this government to Cuba are not such
as to justify American participation
in any manner to have Silveira ex
tradited Consequently Governor
Magoon may ask President Castro to
permit Silveira to be taken by the
Cuban authorities, but the outcome is
dependent entirely upon Castro's will
siIveira in Venezuela.
Havana, Oct. 23.-Captain AndersOI
of the cattleship Carmelina, which
has arrived here from Puerto Cabeilo
Venezuela, confirmed reports that he
landed Silveira, the fugitive Havana
banker, and family at Puerto Cabello
whence they went to Caracas.
Anderson declares that when the
vessel was three miles off the Cuban
coast Silveira ordered him to change
his course for Venezuela, alleging no
litical reasons. Anderson was greatly
surprised upon arriving here to learn
of the charges against Silveira.
Sflveiras partner denies the state,
ment cabled from Caracas that Sill
veira left the firm solvent, with ST.
10000 assets against liabilities OF
$500, 900. He declares that Silveiia
left nothing with which to meet the
firms obligations, and that after MAX
ing unsuccessful efforts to secure
loans from two Havana banks, Sill
veira took with him $4,000 in cash.

GREEN BAY AND
WESTERN TO SELL
BONDHOLDERS HAVE PLAN TO
BUILD TO ST. PAUL.
Will Avoid a Costly Suit-Name
to Be Changed Under New
Organization.

New York, Oct. PA plan mas
been formulated by the debenture B
bondholders' committee of the Green
Bay & Western railroad for the &C
qusition of the roads $2,500,000 OF
stock and the organization of new
company to be called the Green Bay
& St. Paul Railroad company.
The new corporation will take over
the franchises and property of the
road and provide for an extension OF
the line to st. Paul, putting the road
in a position to compete for through
traffic.
BondhoIders Got Nothing.
At present the holders of the com
mon stock are regularly receiving
per cent. dividends, while nothing is
paid on the 100000 of debenture B
bonds. The earnings of the road al
low the accumulation of surplus,
which the debenture B bondholders
say they are entitled to, but which,
the stockholders assert, they have the
TlSQL 10 W1LnuOlQ.
Rather than engage In the expens-
i've litigation which would be neces-
sary to prove the bondholders' rights,
the committee thinks it best to buy
out the stockholders.
Option Already Secured.
The committee announced that an
option has been obtained on a ma
jority of the stock, with provisions
for acquiring the entire issue. Funds
for the purchase are to be provided by
subscriptions from the holders of the
B debentures participating in the
plan, to the amount of $500 for each
500 bond. If the entire stock issue
is not obtainable, the subscriptions
will be reduced proportionately.
When the new company is organized
those who participate in the plan will
receive first mortgage Az per cent.
bonds of the new company for their
subscription at 80, and, in exchange
for their debentures, SO per cent in
common and so per cent, in per cent.
noncumulative preferred stock. The
100000 of A debenture bonds, are to
be taken up by the issue of an equal
amount of the new AZ per cent. bonds.
The time for exchanging-thec commit
tees receipts and debenture B. bonds
for reorganization certificates at the
United States Trust company expires
on October 25.

THE MAN FAMINE IN ENGLAND

Lady's Pictorial-It does indeed
seem to me that every hindrance is
put to prevent girls and men getting
to kno each other at all well. At after
noon tea one does not meet unmar-
ried men at all; at garden parties one
exchanges a few commonplace re-
marks with some of the men intro
duced, and we feel obliged to pass on
if one does not wish to draw attention
to ones self. At dances the men are
few and far between. and are hardly
ever seen again.

MEASURE PROPOSED FOR ALL
THE STATES.
AGAINST SECRET TRIALS
Hearings Must Be Held Before the
Court and Be Free and Open to
the PubIic-Wisconsin Rule of
Years Wait Before RemarrIage
Recommended.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 24.-Judge
Stake of this city, secretary of the
divorce congress, has received from
it's committee on resolutions and for
warded to the various delegates the
proposed measure for bringing about
uniformity in the present divorce
laws of the United States. The pro-
posed statute is the outcome of deep
study on the subject by eminent law
yers and jurists and prominent
churchmen.
The proposed act is divided into
three chapters. The first consists
of jurisdictional provisions; second
procedure; third general provisions,
and is entitled IAN act regulating the
annullment of marriage and divorce
While little or no change is made IN
the given causes for divorce, as now
existing, certain provisions of the
new act were evidently made with
the view of arresting the increasing
demand for legal severance of mari
tia. bonds. Under these stipulations
the secret or star chamber sessions
for hearing divorve cases before mas
ters or other representatives of courts
are done away with, and "all hear
ings and trials shall be had before
the court and shall be public" 1t is
also provided that degree dis
solving marriage ties completely so
as to permit the remarriage of either
party should not become operative
until lapse of a reasonable time
after hearing or trial upon the mer-
it's of the case" The Wisconsin,
Illinois and California rule of one
wear is recommended.

For ethical" Lawyers.

Another proposed enactment pro-
hibits the solicitation of divorce cases
by an advertisement, circular or other
wise, and proscribes for such offense
a fine of not more than $1,000 and
Imprisonment for not more than one
year.
The annullment of the marriage
contract, as distinguished from di-
vorce, be made from the following
causes:
Impotency, consanguinity, existing
former marriage, fraud, force or
coercion, insanity and illegal age.

BASKET BALL SUSPENSIONS.
Amateur Athletic Union Hangs Up
Kerr, Howell and Rodgers.

DR.. William Grant. chairman Of the regis
tratton committee of the South Atlantic d.
vision of the Amateur Athletic Union, last
evening announced the suspension Of Kerr
and Howell Of Carroll Institute and Rod
gers Of the Epiphany Chapel team. This
action was expected upon the part of the
chairman. as he had previously declared
that the free-for-all fight that broke up the
game between the two teams some time
ago would be thoroughly sifted and sum-
mary action taken with those who were re-
sDonsible for the fistic occurrence. Many
OF the players of the league deplore the
spirit that seems to be rampant among
some of the players to win at any cost. 1t
Is this spirit that DR.. Grant and his asso-
ciates are determined to eliminate, and the
player who insists upon playing in a way
that does not conform to the rules of the
game may expect to be dealt with sum-,
marily by the officials. Howell had his jaw
fractured in the fracas and it will be some
time before he Is fully recovered.
The announcement of the suspensions
came Immediately following the sending of
the report Of e. C.,Edwards. the local rep
resentative Of the board The report will
be gone over in detail by those in charge
at the headquarters in Baltimore, and later
the decision OF the committee will be an
nounced as to the length Of time OF the sus-
pensions.

ARMY DUELING UPHELD.
German ChancelIor's View on the
Subject

The refchstag at Berlin yesterday had one
OF ITS perennial discussions of duelling in
the army, which was occasioned by the case
OF lawyer. Herr Feldhaus of Muehlheim,
ana one Ruhr. whom the emperor summar-
lily dismissed from his position as a leu
tenant in the landwehr because he refused
to fight duel which a court of honor had
declared necessary
The clerical party brought in an inter-
pellation on the subject. asking Chancellor
Won Buelow what measures the govern
nent proposed to adopt against compulsory
duels
war Minister Won Einem answered by
reading statement from Chancellor Won
Buelow, who was absent from the house
The chancellor declared that the custom or
ouelilng exists In wide circles of the edu-
Gated classes Of Germany, and so long as
IL Is regarded as a means of restoring Of
tended honor the officers corps cannot toll
crate the presence in its ranks of a mem Der
who Is unwilling to re-establish his honor
with weapon in his hand. The govern
ment, however had under consideration a
revision OF the penal code in the direction
OF stringent penalties against persons wan
tonly attacking another PERSONS honor Tn
TIL this was done duelling was necessary
The emperor's cabinet order against dueIs
in the army had greatly reduced their
number.
Gen. Won Einem added that only one duel
had occurred in 1906 between officers on the
active list
