The recent death of citizen re-

stepping on a panama peel on a side

sizes the need OF a stricter enforce

day thoughtless persons are drop
ping these peelings upon the side
walks. and It is a common expert
ence OF more thoughtful and consid-

to remove these dangerous substances
from the paYements. It is utterly
inexcusable upon the part of anyone
to throw a banana skin or other
kind OF fruit peel on the sidewalk
when the gutter is right at hand
There is a city ordinance, We believe
against this practice. and II should
be enforced by the arrest OF persons
who violate the ordinance. In the

TO REDUCE GRAIN SPECULATION.
Scott Would Stop Use Of Mails and
Wires for Dealers in Futures.

Washington, April 22.-Although it is
not probable that the anti-grain specu-
lation bill, introduced by Representa-
tive Scott will be considered by the
House during the present session, the
author of the measure is not re,aXlng
his efforts to promote early attention
to the measure.
For time Mr. Scott has been under
the impression that the placing OF
wheat on the free list until the Patten
corner has been broken would offer
remedy for the situation, but upon in
vestigatiOn he has found that the price
of wheat in Canada is practically the
same as in this country and there
would therefore be no inducement for
the Canadian shippers to send their
product to this country. Mr.. SCOTS
bill proposes to reduce grain specula-
ton to the minimum by preventing the
use of the mails and telegraph COM
panies for the purposes of dealing in
grain futures.
