tTe establishment Of i Wisconsin grain IN
spection commission, and that, so far as
af!iant knows. afilnt is the only person
who has ever made or used, or testified to.
such n shortage of grain, either before,
said legislature since the year 1902, or in
any ptlding case in the state CT Wisconsin.
That, immediately after attiant gave his
testimony In said case of Gregory. Cock &
60 vs. Wisconsin Grain Commission, OF,
March 22. 1900, atlantis attention was
rallied to certain errors and inaccuracies In
ais original computation and rhereupon all
ant, before the close of said case, in open
court, called the attention of the presiding
Judge to the fact that in some respects said
nmputation was not correct.
That since said time atliant has examined
into said matter more carefully and has
made use of all available statistics and re-
ports as to the amount of wheat received,
shipped AMI made into -four between Sept.
!, 1892, and Sept. l, 1902. at the port Of
Duluth Superior, and now knows that the
original computation made by atliant, and
hereto attached marked exhibit A." was
not true or correct statement as to the
facts in many respects though at the time
that at1iant made said statements, atfianr
believed them to be true.
That atfiant now knows that in his original
eomputat ton. marked EXHIBIT A." hereto
attached, affant failed to take into &C.
count the following items relating to such
receipts and shipments Of grain. to wit:
a. clerical error in the original compu-
tation increasing tho apparent excess Of
shipments over receipts by 1,OOO,O 900 BUSH
els; (2) the stock of wheat in store In ele-
vators ON Sept. l, 1872, amounting to l.,
E"4.CNO bushels; 81 the stock Of wheat in
store Selt. !. 1902 amounting 10 363: 400
bushels: az the amount of wheat received
by elevators on Duluth-S Superior harbor and
subsequently, shi'.red out by said elevators
to flour 1u.iis u - Led ut Duluth and Supe-
ror. between Sept. !, 1922, and Sept. 1,
1895, amounting to ?o,6S6,O bushels; ~
the amount Of correction that should be
made in the number Of bushels Of wheat
used in the production of -four in said
period Of time on account Of the use In said
original statement "Exhibit A" Of calendar
wears instead OF crop years, amounting to
oOo,OU1 bushels; (6) the amount If allow
ance that should be made in said Exhibit
A. but not therein taken into account,
Tor tare on account OF dirt, foul Seed etc.
OH o., 216,WO bushels of wheat reported
is having been received by the Minnesota
state weighing department as gross bush
els: amounting to 4.671 900 bushels; az the
amount OF allowance that should be made
In said statement for transfers Of grain
between elevators Of the same syctem.
That athant has prepared a statement,
With is hereto attached, and marked tx
hibi, 49," which shows correctly in bush
els mo account being made of fractions OF
thousand bushels in the final conputa-
ti"n) the allowance <hat should be made in
said original statement Exhibit A" on ac
count Of the various items hereinabove
enumerated, which were not taken into ac-
count in said original statement Exhibit
A." and has tabulated said items in the
form Of q debit and credit statement, for
the purpose Of striking a balance upon
said statement, as a supplement to the
original statement Exhibit A." hereto at
tached, and for the purpose Of explaining
the apparent discrepancy of about 26,0OO,'
600 bushels, shown by said "Exhlbft A."
That after careful and painstaking ex-
animation which at1iant has made Of said
matter, atliant is now convinced that, dur
ing the period from Sept. 1, 1892, to Sept.
], 1902, there was no excess of shipments of
grain from the elevators at the head. of
Lake Superior, over receipts Of grain by
said elevators Including stocks in storage
