ELEVATE INVESTIGATION
Testimony Of Some Chicago Men in
the Grain Business.


Chicago, Oct. 17.-W. S. Jackson. ex-
president of the Chicago Board of
Trade, testified before the interstate
commerce board as to the practice Of
owners Of elevators storing grain con-
trary to law. He testified that he had
known of cases Where grain had been
stored in elevators that belonged to
the owners of the warehouses. In such
cases, he stated. however, it was the
custom to transfer the title of the
grain before storing it, thus in way
complying with the letter of the law
After the grain was removed from the
elevators he asserted it would be re-
transferred to the owner.
/. P. Rumsey, of Rumsey & Co., for
fifty years a member of the Chicago
Board Of Trade, took the stand and
declared that he was unqualifedly in
favor of the grain dealers associa-
tons and in favor of discouraging
farmers in the elevator business. He
said it was not fair to commission men
who deal honorably, and that this state
of affairs should not be allowed to go
on. He concluded his testimony with
the remark: 'The grain dealers are
the most honorable men as a class in
the world"
George Marcy, president of two Ar
.mour Elevator companies, declared that
the competition in bidding on grain In
the country is so keen and there are
SO many commission men at Chicago
after it that by the time the grain
reaches Chicago there is little profit
in it. When asked about the rule on
the Chicago Board of Trade fixing
prices to be bid on country grain, es-
pecially as to its fairness. Marcy de
clared it was not fair and that hevoted
against IT,

THE new ordinance for the extern
sion of the franchise of the Kenosha
Electric railway is said to be so like
the old one that some of the members
of the special committee of the coun-
Gil are rather disposed to regard it as
waste Of time to consider the new
proposition. They say the whole
thing has been gone over time and
again during the past year, and that
the additional concessions granted by
the company IN the new franchise are
not great enough to warrant any IA
voraDle recommendation to the coun-
Gil. However, each side knows just
about where the other stands now,
and when the Committee and the fran
chlse seekers get together again they
may be able to arrive at some under
standing. Certainly the matter ought
to be in such shape by this time that
it can be settled one way or another
without any long delay.

EXTRAORDINARY POLITICS
Remarks Made at Democratic Meet
ings at Gotham and Boston.

New York, Oct. 17.-At a special
meeting of the Democratic general
committee of Kings county called for
the purpose of ratifying the nominal
tons made on the state and local tick
cts. Senator Patrick III. McCarren. the
Chairman Of the executive committee,
offered a resolution indorsing the Plat
form and candidates nominated ait the
Buffalo convention. Before the resolu-
tons We're voted upon Senator McCar-
rem denounced the head of the ticket,
who, he said. had bolted the ticket in
the county. The spectacle Of 4 leader
refusing to recognize the ticket which
he headed WIS certainly a novel one.
Senator McCarren continued at some
length in a bitter denunciation Of
Hearst, who he declared was trying
to disrupt the Democratic party ia the
states Of California and Illinois. The
Independence League was also roundly
condemned by the senator, who styled
it a body organized for the purpose
of Matchmaking the Democratic party"
When he had concluded he moved the
adoption of the resolutions, which were
unanimorslv adopted A motion was
also made that the committee express
their approval of the attitude of SEN
ater McCarren, which was done by a
rising vote.
Boston, Oct II. The Democratic
state ticket headed by District Attor-
ney Iehn F. Moran was ratified by a

TIE suit against the telephone COM
pany to collect forfeiture, started by
DIR. Rowell, will be watched with in
terest by many of the company's SUBJ
scribers who have suffered from the
impositions of which he complains,
and if he is successful the company
will probably have other suits of a
similar nature to contend with. The
officials of the company presumably
know their own business, but for a
concern that gave such poor service
for so long time the company has
always taken a rather arbitrary stand
in dealing with its consumers who
believed they had just grounds for
complaint. If the law under which
the present action is brought means
anything, it means that the company
cannot refuse a subscriber service
just because he refuses to pay for
something he did not get.

OF course everybody is willing to
put up with reasonable amount of
inconvenience while improvements
are going on but there is a decided
difference of opinion as to what CON
stitutes Reasonable amount and con-
tractors whose work interferes with
the public in any way should make it
their business to see that the public
has as little to complain of as posi-
BILE. For instance when sidewalk is
torn out on Main street and the public
has to go out into the street to get
past it there is little or no complaint
for the first few days, but after they
have waded out into the mud and
slime of the street for weeks and no
effort has been made to put down even
a temporary walk for their use, the
people begin to kick and kick hard.
And they have right to kick. Such
thing would not be tolerated in any
other city the size of Kenosha in the
country. It is small matter, but it
is one Of the things which shows that
Kenosha is in some ways still crawl
ing along in the rut it got into when
it was dead town.

A CLOSE examination of the ordi-
nances dealing with the powers of the
health officer and the sanitary regu1a-
tions for the city shows them to be
defective in several important par
ticulars, SO instead Of carrying a test
case on the present ordinances to the
higher courts, which would take time
and money, the city officials will
probably decide to present a new or
dinance to the council at once. That
would certainly be the easiest way out
of the present difficulty, and it is not
expected that any of the aldermen
would attempt to prevent such an or
dinance going through the council in
record time. The new ordinance will
be carefully drawn to meet any emer-
gency that may arise in the future,
and its Importance cannot be over
estimated.

If there is no prospect Of complet-

tract this fall, as the city engineer
seems to think, the contractors should

kind of condition tor traffic before
freezing weather sets in. It will cost
little money, but whoever is respon-
sible for the delay in the work should
be made to stand the expense.

Cuba's Supremacy IN Sugar.

Professor Julius Wolf of the German
University of Breslau appears to be
borrowing unnecessary trouble con-
corning the sugar capabilities of Cuba.
He thinks that Cuba may increase it's
production to five times its present
crop, a condition to seriously affect tile
German producers.
The professor argues that the pres
ent cane fields Of Cuba cover scarcely
more than 1900 square miles and that
despite this fact Cuba already pro-
duces more than half as much sugar as
Germany, but that $4,000 square miles
of arabic land are available in Cuba for
sugar culture. He estimates that sugar
can now be produced in Cuba at S1.2O
per 100 pounds, which is very much less
than the cost of producing sugar in
Germany, and indicates a great fear
of the Injurious competition of Cuba
with the Germans for supremacy in
sugar production.
1t is not likely that the kaiser will
see a menace to German commerce in
the rehabilitation of Cuba, for world
economists know that Cuba is passing
through labor famine, and planters
have RETAINED from opening new fields
to cane. It is necessarily fattering to
Cubans to know what natural condi-
tons they have in the way of sugar
production, but for Cuba to produce
five times its present crop, or, say,
100000 tons Of sugar, would require
such a REIMBURSEMENT Of the labor ques-
ton there as seems impossible for
many years to come. If Cuba could be
assured good and permanent govern
ment, without fear of revolutions, it's
production Of sugar might be largely
increased, but the consumption keeps
pace with the production.
