GRAIN ELEVATOR WAR
FINAL STAGE OF AN IMPORTANT
CONFLICT.

CHICAGO. July o7.-The civil war which
has rent the Chicago Board of Trade and
divided that organization into bitter fac
lions for nearly a quarter Of a century is
said to have entered into its final cam
paign.
Yesterday notice was received that the
supreme court OF the state will within
few days decide whether not an injunc-
ton shall issue preventing the public grain
warehouses of Chicago from going out Of
business pending the opportunity Of the
court next October to determine whether
the railroads centering here have the legal
right to allow the public to be deprived Of
the facility of public warehouses along
their lines. which the public has enjoyed
in some instances for more than q half
century.
The civil war of the board OF trade is
commonly known as the elevator war. and
now Is In the hands of the supreme court
for the third and presumably the last time
1t arrived before that body upon Its third
visit through the medium of a chancery
case begun here by the people of the state
against the Illinois Central railroad, the
Central Elevator Company and Others
asking the court to prevent the defendants
from disseminating the business of public
warehouse men.
Judge Winde issued a temporary injunc-
ton. which Judge Honore dissolved. pre-
sumably to permit the questions involved
to get before the supreme court without
delay. The latter body is now considering
whether 1t will temporarily restrain the
defendants until the court can determine
the legal issues involved.
Last Desperate Move.
No longer is there any doubt where the
great majority Of the members Of the board
of trade stands upon the elevator question.
nor Is there any half-heartedness in the
determination to compel the elevator men
to obey the law as the courts have inter-
preted it.. which is to compel them to con-
fine themselves strictly to the business OF
public warehouse men. On their part the
elevator men have played their trump card
by refusing on July 1 to make application
to the board to have their elevators made
regular" and thus for the second time In
this war Is the grain business of this mar
ket being conducted without Regular pub
lie elevators. Supplementing the playing
Of this somewhat desperate card the ele-
vator men have served notice that they
will go out OF the public warehouse bust
ness and become private elevators. thereby
depriving this market temporarily OF the
facilities for storing any of the 210.0OO,OO0
or 26OOOO.OOO bushels Of grain which Is an
nually brought here.

ears 1t Is stated. has several parties under
surveillance. and !s hoping that the rob-
berries may be cleared up within a few
days. 1t Is stated that the person who is
entering the lockers is especially partial to
small bills and loose change. The fact
that both the lockers of the men and wom-
en- employees have been entered from time
to time confirms the belief of Mr.. Ralph
that woman we'll as a man Is en-
gagged in robb!ng the lockers.
At the present time 1t is stated that many
of the employees of the bureau have grown
to be especially careful about laying their
outer garments about. in fear that the pill
