Chicago Still Winning.

NEW YORK, August 21.-Once again the
New York Americans went down before the
Chicagos yesterday.
In the fifth the New Yorks handel the
game over to the Sox. There were four
misplays by the local infield. Davis hunted

Democratic Leader Sees

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, June 14.-All efforts to
interest the radical element of the
Democracy in the proposed welcome to
William J. Bryan on his return from
abroad have failed. Among the radi-
calls who have now refused invitations
to act as members of the reception
committee, of which Governor Folk of
Missouri has promised to be chairman.
are Judge Samuel Seabury, Dr.. John III.

Register of Kings County.
1t was announced today that some
of the radicals have sent a message to
Mr.. Bryan. asking him to recall his
approval of the reception plan and to
cancel all arrangements for demon
stration on his return. 1t was an
nounced also that William r. Hearst
had been invited to serve on the COM
mittee on plan and scope of the re-
ception and that no definite answer
from him had been received. The in
vitation was coupled with an offer to
name friends of Hearst as five of the
ten members of the committee, and if
he still refuses this offer he will prob
ably be asked to name all the mem
bers Of the committee.
The men who are in charge of the
reception movement are desirous OF
ascertaining where the radicals stand
with regard to the Bryan boom, and
they are endeavoring to come to a
definite understanding of what they
are to expect.
ST. PETERSBURG. June 14.-William

the proceedings Of the lower house of

of ambassador Meyer. and during the
recess Mr. Bryan discussed the situa-
tion with some leaders of the House,
who appeared anxious to express their
views to the distinguished American.

Appoint Committees to Call

hall at Devisadero and Fulton streets 10
devise means to combat the movement
toward separating the grocery and the
saloon and the effort to increase the
liquor license to $500 a year
The sentiment was expressed that
such action by the authorities at this
time would work great hardship on the
grocers. who have suffered the double
calamity of earthquake and IRE. lt was
stated that hundreds of the city's gro
GERS have been burned out and great
majority OF those that escaped suffered
the confsc0tion OF their stock by tho
military during the first few days fol-
owing the fire.
Various speakers at the meeting last
evening. which was presided over by j.
solomon. referred To the fact that the
great delay in the payment OF inSur-
ance and of the relief committee to
meet claims for confiscated stocks have
combined to place all the burden on ths
grocers that they can stand, especially
in view of the fact that they are COM
PEELED to continue paying rent to hold
their leases. They said that II the au-
thortties would grant them few years
in which to restore their stricken buS1-
nesses they might then be able to meet
the added burden of a higher liquor
license, but not until then The asser-
ton that has been made that the gro-
cery-saIoon is responsible for much i'm
morality the grocers denied. and stated
that it was the large saloons and down.
town dives that led young men astray,
and that if the high license was i'm
posed it would operate TO keep this
class alive and kill the smaller con-
Germs that were. they said. in no way
dangerous to the morals OF the COM
munity.
Committees will call upon Mayor
Schmitz this morning and will also
wait upon the Board of Supervisors 1t
it's next meeting. The authorities Will
be informed that If the high license is
imposed it will drive from 5000 TO 1000
people now dependent upon the COM
bined grocery and saloon for a living
into other channels.
The relief committee will also be
asked to rush the payment OF claims for
confiscated stocks, though 1t is the
opinion of the grocers that the munich
pality must be compelled to pay for
liquors and tobacco seized. as the same
was taken under proclamation of the
Mayor.

UNION PACIFIC POOL
may BE DISSOLVED
At END Of MONTH
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


NEW YORK, June 14.-Union Pacific
was one of the especially weak stocks
today. 1t got below 149 in the early
afternoon. as against ISL, yesterday s
high price There was a well defined
report that the big pool in the stock
which, Wall street understands, has
been operating for two years past will
expire by limitation on July l and that
1t was a question whether it would be
extended.
The pool has been one of the strong
est and most active in the history OF
the financial district According to to-
days reports, 1t has operated in as
many as 100000 shares at time and
through the impetus given by it's op-
erations the price of Union Pacific stock
has risen from below par to above $50.
Prominent interests in the pool are
believed to be E. H. Hartman and ia
cob Schiff and their friends, including
representatives of the Rockefeller in
terests. 1t was pointed out in Wall
street that even il the pool were dis
solved its members We're quite strong
enough to take care of such stock as
might be distributed pro rata among
them. so that the stock would not be

WILL NOT PUT
IN 4 DEFENSE
Standard Oil Company Has
No Testimony to
Offer.
VIII Submit the Case Without
Examining Any
Witnesses.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, June 1.-THE
Interstate Commerce Commission re-
opened the investigation of the Stan
dard Oil Company here today. Judge
C. A. Prouty was the only member
of the commission present.
In opening the session Judge Prouty
said he had received a letter from Vir-
gil P. Kline, chief counsel for the
Standard Oil Company of Ohio. on June
Z, in which it was stated that the
Standard Oil Company did not desire at
this time to offer any testimony.
Judge Prouty then asked sif anybody
else desired to be heard, and the only
response was from Chief Counsel Mar
chand, who said he had the testimony
of one witness to offer-that of NJ. c
Tully, an auditor in the freight depart
ment of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railway Company.
Tully's testimony was concerning
storage charges made against the
Standard Oil Company at Chicago, ana
it was sought to draw from the wit
ness statements concerning the meth
DDS used by the railroad in keeping
such accounts, 1T being the contention
of Marchand that the railroad had al
lowed the storage charges against the
Standard Oil Company to go unpaid
and that the auditors department in
Cleveland had afforded the local agent
at Chicago relief in this respect.
Tully said that he did not possess
the information with which to en-
tighten the commission.
Commissioner Prouty took the wit
ness in hand and after a sharp exami-
nation ordered him to proceed to his
'office and obtain the accounts of the
Chicago office for the last two years
containing the record of freight
charges.
The session was resumed when Tully
returned with the accounts in question.
Commissioner Prouty, selecting sew
eral at random, proceeded to ask about
them. The reports examined showed
against the Standard Oil Company.
Without obtaining any information as
to whether the charges were ever paid
or not, Judge Prouty by skilIfuI work
succeeded in drawing from Tully the
admission that the agent at Chicago
was not required to send in the cash
for the storage charges against the
Standard Oil Company, but that the
account was balanced by a voucher sent
to the Cleveland office. This, Tully
said, was done upon orders from G. ].
Grammer. traffic manager of the road.
The practice, he said, had been followed
since 1908, but had ceased on Janu-
ary l of this year.
There was no cross-examination and,
there being no other witnesses, ad-
journment was taken.
Chief Counsel Marchand declared at
the close of the session that the failure
of Kline to offer any testimony or put
in defense of any kind was a complete
victory for the independent oil men.
