NEW JERSEY HONoRs
IRISH AUTHOR

Patterson, n. j., Jan. 1S.-Captain
Augustine f.. Costelloe, the Irish pa
triot and author of Footprints of
Irish Liberty will be entertained in
banquet tonight by the ancient Or
der of Hibernians. There will be
$500 persons present. Captain Co.'S
telloe has had remarkable career.
When the Fenian rising took place
in Ireland in March, 1867, he. with
a band of compatriots, chartered
small brigantine of about 200 tons
burden and fitted her up with a cargo
of 5000 stand of arms. three field
pieces and 100000 cartridges. He
had with him generals and lieuten-
ants of the American army. who were
then discharged after the war. When
they landed in Sligo Bay, the insur-
rection was suppressed but twenty
five of them. who made a landing
were arrested. tried of treason, felony
and convicted. Captain Costelloe was
sentenced to twelve years in an Eng
lish prison but his trial nearly pre-
cipitated a war between AmeIltl
and England for he denied the right
of English judges to try him, he be-
ing an American citizen. After be-
ing I'm prison eighteen months he
was released through the interven-
ton of the United States govern
menh After leaving his English
prison Costelloe returned to New
York and was employed on the New
York Herald and other newspapers
but during the past few years has
spent all his time writing Irish and
American history.

dealers are read FOR the informa-
ton of the members"
The grain trade tributary to the
Chicago market is controlled by n
vicious trust of elevator men. 1t is
discovered by the commission that
the old free competition and actual
buying and selling of grain on the
board of trade in Chicago is thing
of the past. Grain going to that mar
ket is absorbed by five or six huge
elevator concerns, headed by Armour,
who are the only buyers of grain,
and who absolutely control the price.
All but twenty-three independent
grain operators have been driven to
the wall, this number being what re-
mains of several hundred. What
makes the Chicago situation the more
intolerable is the fact that the law
of the state forbids the ownership
or dealing i'm grain by the proprietors
of the elevators where it is stored.
There is a standing injunction against
this practice-an injunction which
has been fought to the supreme court
and there sustained, but which is
fiagrantly and publicly violated every
day by a device known as wash
Sdies on tne DOdfu OF trade.
The only remedy left the farmer
against the widespread holdup has
been to build farmers elevators near
the source of the wheat and to store
1t themselves and wait for "A market
and cars. In a number of localities
this has been done on the cooperative
plan. All farmers joining in the en-
terprise were compelled to sign an
agreement to deposit certain
amount of wheat in the elevator or,
failing to deposit it, to pay a storage
charge just as If it were so deposited.
this arrangement has been a thorn to
the combinations and attempts have
been made to declare the farmers
associations trusts. The courts have
thrown out the cases.
The disclosures by this report are
expected to lay the foundation for
law providing for federal inspection
of grain and federal laws for the
government Of elevators handling in
terstate business.

BEATING THE FARMER
OUT OF HIS PRICE
Interstate Commerce Commission Will Report to the Senate
the Senate the Existence of Widespread Grain Buying
Monopoly in the West--tioW the Farmer Is Held
Down to the Lowest Figure

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 1S.-Mo-
nopolization of the grain buying bust
ness by a combination of elevator men
and the railways with buyers and
spectators, extinguishing competi-
ton and lowering the price TO the
producer, is a condition which will
be shown up by the interstate COM
merce commissions report, soon to be
made public. The report is address
ed to the senate.
Monopoly of the grain buying bust
ness, the commission finds, is accom-
plished in the middle west by deal
ers. There is such an association to
cover Minnesota and the two Da-
kotas, another for Illinois, one for
Iowa, and there was one in Nebraska
until a state statute declared it in
restraint of trade and put 1t out of
business. The Kansas association was
somewhat hampered likewise by hav-
ing its secretary and manager put in
Jail.
Working i'm conjunction with these
state associations of grain buyers are
the elevator men at the terminals
1t is disclosed by the evidence that
the elevators are not only In agree
ment with the buyers, but have pool
ing agreements among themselves at
points like Minnesota, Duluth and
Chicago, by which the grain is allot-
ted to each member of the pool in
certain agreed proportions. IL any
elevator gets more than the pool pro-
vides that elevator has to pay a GER
tain amount per bushel for all excess
to the man who is short
A similar plan is operated in the
purchase of the grain from the farm
ers. The buyers work on an agreed
price, dividing the territory among
themselves. When n man has his
share of the grain he drops his price
a half cent below that of his alleged
competitor and the latter fills his
quota.
So closely do these state associa-
tions work together that independ-
ent dealers are boycotted, and can
not purchase grain at the terminals
At the frequent meetings of the as
sociations the names of independent

NAVAL ENLISTMENTS
ARE ON THE INCREASE

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Owing to
the great inducements offered young
men in the way of promotion. in
creased pay, etc, Commander w. F.
White announces that naval enlist
ments are increasing at a very sat
isfactory rate. The heads of the
navy department had recently an ex-
tremely difficult proposition to face
as naval enlistments were rapidly
falling off, and most of the battle
ships undermanned. 1t was decided
to introduce the inducements mem
toned and Commander White was
instructed to visit Ohio and other
states with view to getting recruits.
He now explains that his visit has
been satisfactory to a certain extent
but some further action must have
to be taken as the number of men
required is very far below the aver
age.
