AUCTION HOUSE

A number of fruit and produce mer-
chants of Chicago attended the open
ing of the new fruit auction house of
the Illinois Central Railroad at the
foot of South Water street and ex-
pressed the belief that il will enhance
the reputation of the city as fruit
and produce distributing center. Adj
dresses were delivered by Vice Presi-
dent +. b. Bowes, Of the illinois Cen
tral, and Manager Geo. ID. Bills, of
the Pioneer Fruit Co. The second story
of the building has been fitted for
auctioning purposes. 1t is expected
that the auction sales will reach sixty
cars day within short time.
Arrangements have been made by
which the Union Pacific Road, it is
its California fruit tonnage to the
Illinois Central at Omaha. Theslatter
is now operating fast fruit train on
26-hour schedule from the Missouri
River to Chicago, and has provided
facilities for holding fruit consign-
ments in its yards at the foot of South
Water street for reconsignment to
points in the East.
The step taken by the Illinois Cen
tral in enlarging its facilities for
handling fruit shipments means that
the company hereafter will make a
strong bid for this class Of business
from the West. Both the Illinois Gen.
tral and the Union Pacific are Harri-
man roads, and cooperation on their
part along this line, it is asserted
i will make the Illinois, central a strong
competitor of other Chicago roads,
which make speciality of hauling
shipments of fruit.
1.-THE opening of our fruit auction
house means a good deal for Chicago,
said Vice President Bowes. 1--WE have
taken special care to provide the best
facilities for this class of business,
and the name of this city as a center
J for fruit merchandising ought to be
! enhanced in a marked degree. - Fruit

Chicago Police Learn Of Band Formed 10
Swindle Insurance Companies.

CHICAGO. June GA comparatively
small fire. followed by three arrests and
q suicide, has revealed tho existence of
what Fire Attorney Michael Sullivan
to-day declared is an larson trust" and
which he believes has been thriving
financially by burning business houses
in Chicago and other cities for a share
Of the insurance
There was revealed also an ingenious
system Of swindling fire insurance com
panies by issuing false bills of sale on
imaginary stocks Of goods in the stores
destroyed by the arson trust" and col
lecting insurance on goods which never
existed
These developments followed a con-
feseion by Leopold Dreyfus, president OF

which started the invest CATION occurred
last Saturday.
Following his confession Dreyfus shot
and killed himself this morning while he
was under police guard in his apartments .
at 1929 Michigan avenue.
Dreyfus was on the verge of bankrupt cy
when he entered into negotiations with
the @hrebug trust" to burn his store, &C.
cording to Attorney sullivan He had
been burned out previously while in busi
ness at another address. but the police
were unable to secure enough evidence
at that time to justify his arrest After
he moved to South Market street accord
ing TO the evidence developed to-day, he
embarked on a series of criminal opera
tions 40 extensive and varied as to astound
the police officials who heard his con-
fooeion.
