 GRAND JURY SHAkE-UP.
MANY REBATE INDICTMENTS
the List but Names Are Withheld,

Minneapolis. Minu.-Eleven indict- ments were handed to Judge LOchran in the United States district court by certain railroads and the receiving of the same by grain firms and indi- viduals The list of corporations against which the indictments were returned, as given out by Assistant District Attorneys Ewart and Diekie. who have had charge of the cases, were as follows:
 The Great Northern Railroad O.. four indictments and about D counts.
 Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis x Omaha railway, one indictment and 90 counts
 Wisconsin Central railway, one in- dictment, IT counts.
 Minneapolis x St. Louis railway, one indictment, 5 counts.

 For Receiving Rebates.
 Under the head of receiving rebates, the following true bills were returned: w. P. Devereux Co, McCall-Dinsmore Co. Minneapolis; Ames- Brooks Co, of Duluth; Duluth Milling Co.
 Some of the specific charges con- tained in the indictments were against the Great Northern railway. two indictments for giving rebates to the Spencer Grain Co. one for giving to the McCall-Dinsmore Go. and for giving rebates to the Spencer Grain Co.
 The Omaha railroad, the Wisconsin Central and the Minneapolis & St Louis were charged with favoring the Spencer Grain Go. The companies in 4cted who are not railroad companies are charged with receiving rebates.
 Railroad Officials Indicted. Besides the corporations, indiet ments were returned against clever 1 individual officials of tho railroad: named, bu5 United States District At torney Houpt said he would not con sent to the names being given out for publication owing to the fact that no service had yet been obtained upon them.
 The general offense alleged in the railroad indictments is the absorption of grain elevation charges. After the bunch of. indictments had been given out to the court, the jurors were excused for the term and tolo to convene again in St. Paul.
 Perhaps the most surprised people of all were the railroads, for none of those interested expected indict ments to be brought

Look Out for lt.

Washington.-The United States secret service announces the discovery of new counterfeit $10 Buffalo" United States note. This counterfeit is apparently a photoithographic pro- duction printed on two pieces of pa per with silk fibre distributed be- tween them. The face of the note is grayish black. The numbering, seal, large X10 are of good color and work manship. The check letter and plate number do not appear in the lower right-hand corner. The back of the note is dark bluish green. By it. self the counterfeit is apt to deceive. but when handled with genuine notes the marked difference in the color of the back should lead to it's immediate detection.

Rockefeller and four other persons in connection with the Standard Oil in- quiry, which was reopened upon the reconveaing of that body in adjourned session.

CARS AND LABOR SHORT
MANY INDUSTRIES HANDICAPPED
 BY TRAFFIC DELAYS.
BUSINESS REPORTED GOOD
Iron and Steel Industry So Prosperous as to Preclude Sharp
 Competition.

New York, N Y.-R c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says: Business experienced the custom ary interruption during election week. but a more permanent retarding infiu ence was the inadequate supply of freight cars and labor Many indus tries are severely handicapped by traffic delays. In other cases there is idle machinery because hands cannot be secured despite the high wages offered. This difficulty threatens to reduce the lumber cut materially. Sev- eral strikes are threatened, and one railway system alone has advanced wages to the extent of $1,000, 900 monthly. Retail trade is we'll main tained by lower temperature in some sections of the country. and the full employment of labor at all points, while wholesale business in holiday goods is very heavy.
 Iron and Steel Industry.
 Tardy delivery still causes com plaint in the iron and steel industry, unprecedented production by the fin ishing mills falling behind the require ments of consumers. Railway block ades also contribute to the dissatis- faction of purchasers, who cannot ob- tain deliveries on specifications against old contracts, while new orders are only taken subject to remote ship ment. New lake vessels have been ordered, which means more business in plates, although the mills are al ready booked beyond the first quarter of next year. The mills have so much business on hand that there is not the customary sharp competition to get new business. More advances have occurred in pig iron, and the new ore season has opened with rise of from 50 to 75 cents per ton.
 In the Grain and Flour Trade.
 Interrupted movement of grain to primary markets and the consequent restriction of foreign business as well as activity of northwestern flour mills cheeks the upward tendency of quota tions and caused some reaction. West ern receipts of 6.339,675 bushels oi wheat for the week compare with G.. GA, ,123 bushels in the corresponding Week last year, while exports from all ports of the United States. flour in. cluded, amounted to 2,SS5,573 bushels against 1,900,052 a year ago.

sage to Congress:
THE Senate and House of Representa-
tives:
Il herewith enclose communication from
the navy department and the war de-
partment in reference to the communica-
tions from Mayor Schmitz of San Fran
cisco and from other representatives OF
California With a courage and self-re-
lance Of which we cannot as Americans
be sufficiently proud, the people of San
Francisco have already started in orderly
and resolute fashion to rebuild the city
Immediate aid in this enterprise should
be given by the federal government. Ono
of the crying needs of the situation Is
employment for the scores of thousands
Of men who have lost everything. If tho
appropriation of $500, 900 for the Mare Is
land navy yard be at once passed. over
200 men will Immediately be put to work.
for this appropriation will be expended
only in employing labor. The appropria-
tion lis urgently needed as a means OF
contributing toward the re-establshment
Of affairs in San Francisco. 1t will also
be of material use to the navy.
Furthermore, l recommend that the
Congress act on the recommendations OF
the war department and appropriate the
money necessary to establish n building
