CITY for the transfer OF grain for the public from
incoming cars of the Union Pacific to outgoing
cars Of connecting lines. an6 that for this service
the Union Pacific agreed to pay Peavey & Co 1k
cents a hundredweight. The complaining railroads
alege that the facts are: The elevators OF Peavey

transferred grain for the public; but were built and
have been used solely and exclusively for their own
use in the grain trade.
Concerning the case, Chairman Knapp of the
Interstate Commerce Commission made the fol-
lowing statement:

employees which nearly eliminated in a serious dis
turbance yesterday 1t nipped in the bud by
the police of the Bedford station. who ar
rested six Italians who. 1t alleged. at the
head Of the movement to create trouble.
The discharged foreman lost his position last
Monday. II soon became known that his services
had been dispensed with and about two dozen of
the employees, mostly Italians. went strike Tues
day after vainly trying to get their fellow employees
10 join them. On Tuesday night the strikers began
to intimidate the remaining employees and also, it

quit their jobs. The employees disregarded the
warning and yesterday morning Of them
were followed to the factory. and, il alleged.
were informed by friends of the strikers that be-

POLICE CONSPIRACY ALLEGED.
Counsel for schmittberger Says Public Will
Be Surprised at Inspectors Trial.

George A. VOSS. counsel for Inspector Schmltt-
berger who is to be tried on charges Of neglect
of duty In failing to close illegal resorts in the
TenderlOin said yesterday that the public would
be surprised at the line of defence to be followed
at that trial. Mr.. VOss intimated that there was
a conspiracy on the part of men prominent on
the police force to get rid of the inspector, be-
cause politicians had never been able to get any
satisfaction out of him. He also commented on
the fact that since Commissioner Bingham had
taken Office many of the men who were in favor
during the administration of Commissioner Nc
Adoo have had a hard to hoe in the de-
partment. Mr.. VOss said:
have been quoted as saying that the action
taken against the inspector came the result
of orders to Commissioner Bingham. / said no
such thing The only thing l did say with re-
gard to politics was that Inspector Schmitt-
berger had always steered clear of politicians.
the SulIivans had nothing to do with the matter.
But it is strange thing that so many OF the
men trusted and favored by Commissioner Nc
Adoo have fallen into disfavOr with Commits
sloner Bingham.
don't know what Commissioner Bingham
wanted Inspector Schmittberger and Captain
Hodgins TO do. Commissioner Bingham has said
that he wants patrOlmen to be left post.
That, with the certainty of injunction proceed
ings. makes 1t impossible for policemen to be
stationed in front OF suspected houses These
places cannot be closed by tine expedient of sud-
den raids, for the courts will not cOuntenance
them. Cleaning up the Tenderloin requires good,
hard steady work, and that is what Schmitt-
berger was doing.
