MOFFETT BACKS DOWN
Unable to Make Good
Charges of Rebate to
Other Shippers.

Chicago, Oct. flames A. Moffett,
president of the Standard Oil company
of Indiana. located at Whiting, who
was subpoenaed by Judge Lands a
week ago to appear before the special
federal grand jury and substantiate
the charges he had made that other
railroads and shippers were as guilty
OF rebating as the Standard Oil COM
pany, failed to make good" yester-
day.
The witness led the grand jury a
merry chase around a circle. At the
end of the session the jury found it
was going over the same ground stir
red up by Judge lands in the Stand
ard Oil trial, when vague charges of
guilt on the part of other shippers
were made. but were found impossible
to substantiate.
Mr.. Moffett shouldered the RESPONSE
bility for his statement upon the tes-
timony of other witnesses in the Stand
ard Oil trial. principally f. S, Hol-
lands, chief rate clerk of the Chicago
and Alton railroad. Mr.. Hollands was
called before the jury, but failed to
produce facts and figures to back VI
the charges against other shippers.
Rate Clerk to Testify Today.
Hollands will have another chance
this morning. If he gives the grand
jury any information of value the in
vestigation will proceed and indict-
ments will result. If he does not come
down to facts the investigation will end
tonight and the grand jury will be
discharged.
As far as Mr.. Mofrett is concerned
the grand jury is through with him. He
has not been released finally and Is
still in Chicago subject to a return
call before the investigating body. But
there is no hope in the breasts of the
government officials that he will di-
vulge anything of an discriminating ma
ture against any railroad or corpora
ton.
Contempt proceedings will not be in
stituted against him on account of his
criticism Of Judge Lands in the Stand
ard Oil trial. but Judge Lands is eX-
pected to speak his mind regarding tbs
witness and his failure to back up hi:
charges when the grand jury is dis
charged.

LIVE CHEAP; EAT CORN
Expert at Show Says That
200 Dishes May be
Made From Corn.

Two hundred distinct dishes may be
made from corn alone, all palatable, and
all for few cents each"
Having made this observation, Mrs
Elizabeth o. Hitler said that 1t was
matter for regret that the people of
this country, especially the working
people, were not educated to the mani
fold uses of the grain as food.
She will have charge of the corn

ton at the Coliseum for the two weeks

erly was principal Of the Chicago Do
mestic Science Training School and has
made special study of corn as an arti-
Gle of diet.
Dish for Six Costs Cents.
THE average person." said Mrs. Hill
er, doesn't know that corn to a great
extent will take the place of wheat, is
not heating, and is of course much
cheaper. For a few cents one may al
ways have a plentiful supply and 1t
should be kept in every well appointed
household"
Then she described a few of the
dishes that could be made, beginning
with soup and terminating with desert.

she gave the following menu for one
of the dinners, composed entirely of
corn that Will be served during the ex-
position:
Soup of Cream made from Green Corn)
Corn Timbale "a Mold of Corn Served

Corn Souffle. Corn on the Cob

| Mrs. Hitler, with a staff of cooks, will
! give lessons in corn cooking three times
a day during the two weeks of the ex-
position in the pretty delft kitchen.
Mrs. Hitler will not conf1ne her lee
lures to corn. She'll show the women
how to plank fish, how to roast tur-
key, haste a ham and how to cook the

meat. The braising process in which
cheap joint of meat is cooked in its
own juice and made just as palataole
as the most expensive will be the sub
| ject of another demonstration.

OLD RULES HOLD CUP
Upton Claims Contest is I'm
possible Under Conditions
Expresses Regret.

Dublin, Oct. Sir Thomas Upton
again has expressed his deep regret at
the refusal of the New York Yacht club
to accept his challenge to a race for
the American cup. and in lengthy let
ter to the Royal Irish Yacht club he
sets forth his reasons in detail The
committee of the club met tonight
While recognizing the responsible
ties of the members of the club as
trustees of the America cup" writes
Sir Thomas. 1T might be pointed out
that when the deed OF gift was drawn
up the developments which have taken
place in regard to the modern racing
Of yachts could not have been fore
seen.
Handicap Is Too Great.
II have already competed three times
under the conditions of the deed of
gift with the notifications arranged
under the mutual agreement clause,
and my personal experience Of these
contests is such that I consider that
the handicap of having to design a
vessel of the type which has been grad
ually developed during recent years,
and which shall be of sufficiently light
construction, yet capable of being TAX
en- with safety on it's own bottom
across the Atlantic. entirely precludes
the possibility of competing on equal
terms with a vessel which is not COM
PEELED to make this ocean voyage.
MY present challenge was drawn up
with a view to comply with the princi-
pal conditions of the deed of gift and
at the same time encourage the type of
vessel which has been approved and
adopted by the New York Yacht club.
Regrets Loss of Race.
"I recognize that the members OF this
club are we'll within their rights in de-
Gliding as they have done, yet I am
sorry that they have not been able,
under the mutual agreement clause, to
meet me in my wish to have a race
under their own universal rule, which,
in my opinion, encourages a wholesome
and desirable type of yacht,
I'm view of their attitude, however,
there is nothing left but to abandon
the idea of a contest for the present, al
though I am always prepared, under
mutually satisfactory conditions, to ar
range a race"
The committee of the Royal Irish
Yacht club in cabling its formal ac-
acknowledgement of the refusal of the
challenge. expressed the regret of the
committee and all the members of the
club that race could not be arranged.

AS the. president was driven through
the streets. accompanied by the gov
errors, militia, twenty five carriages
containing leading citizens of many
states. and a squad of ESQ veterans OF
the civil war from this city and near
by towns, he was enthusiastically
greeted.
The objective point was Rand park
where the president delivered his ad-
dress.
Before beginning to talk he insisted
that the ropes be let down to admit
enough persons to fill a number of va
cant seats, and when a man and wo-
man appeared each carrying a child
he directed that they be given chairs
At the conclusion of his address &
delegation of negroes, with a plasterel

cane to President Roosevelt on behal1
of the negroes of Keokuk.
