The Bell Telephone Trust 10 going
to strengthen its strangle hold upon
the throat Of Chicago by wiping out
competition.
A merger Of the two companies into
one operating system Is contemplated.
and II realized will mean the end OF
two separate lines within the city.
The combine, It is declared. will mean
the abolition Of the automatic system
and the taking over Of it, subscribers
by the Bell company.
This was announced following an
attempt to effect the revision Of the
telephone ordinance, which at present
prohibits the amalgamation Of the II.
linois company with any other locally
operated concern.
It has the aid of several aldermen
in this new move.
Should the Trust be successful Chi.
cago will be at its mercy forever.
Owing to the belief that the instru.
ments and plant operated by the au.
tomato company could not be used
| by the purchasing company, rumor
has 1t that the purchase Of the or.
ganization is mainly for the purpose
of overcoming competition and estab'
fishing a universal telephone system
in Chicago.
Because Of clause in the ordinance
passed in 1899, prohibiting the sale Of
the company to any telephone cor
poration operating in the city, It II
impossible without legislation to ef
feet the sale.
The step to overcome this obstacle
was taken when an amendment to thu
present ordinance was presented Il
the gas, oil and electric light commit
tee Of the city council. The ordinance
provides that II the company make
any agreement (which would tend I,
make competition Imperative tn
franchise would be forfeited. Thi
clause Is eliminated in the proposes
amendment. Alderman Charles Z
Merriam urged the committee to pre-
coed with caution in taking action.
"In case the automatic compan
disposes Of its properties to the Oh
cago Telephone company" he salt
"the latter concern probably will ad
to its capitalization 100000 or SO
100000, which amount would repr'
sent the purchase price,"

z HAVE a letter of inquiry from a
man seeking information with re-
= gard TO the establishment Of an egg
farm tributary to the city of FL PasO.
He asked for specific information along
certain lines which was not very easy
to give with accuracy.
Among other things he wanted TO
know the average price obtained for
eggs during the year. Ny reply was
that a dozen eggs sold the first day
of each month during the year would
bring the average price Of 40 cents per
dozen. I meant to be accurate, but
make my report to him public that the
pOultrymen Of the country may correct
the error If there be one. This man IS

the identity of the slain woman had
been established by two women claim
ing to be BARRIERS. They said the dead
woman was Mrs. Marie Hunt, who
had formerly worked for them. Mrs.
Hunt was located later in a flat on the
North Side.
Many of those who viewed the body
said they had seen the woman at
times, but had never heard her name.
No laundry marks or other means of
Identification could be found.
Dr. II. G. Reinhardt, corOner's physi-
clan, expressed the opinion that the
wounds might have been self-inflicted.
Police Captain Meagher held the same
opinion, and said that while every
effort would be made to find the muir
derer, if murder had been committed,
he believed the woman had committed
suicide because she was out of money.

WOMAN SUICIDE
A POLICE THEORY

Chicago, H., July 3.-After an all
days search for the supposed murder
er of a woman whose body was found
in an alley at the rear of 730 West
Monroe street yesterday morning, po-
lice of the Desplaines street station
have centered their efforts on ascer-
tanning her identity, having come to
the conclusion that the woman took
her own life.
The body of the woman, who was 40
or As years old, feet l inch tall and
weighed about 10 pounds, was found
by a teamster for the Consumers COM
pany, lying on a loading platform of
the Fidelity Brass works, 73 West
Monroe street, about 6 o'clock in the
morning.
The throat had been cut, the cash
severing the jugular vein. One other
mark of violence was slight cut just
below the collar bone.
A pocket knife, with a three-inch
blade, rusted and blood-stained, was
found near the body. 1t was evident
ly the weapon which had caused her
death. A hat band, torn from a mans
derby or straw hat, was also found
lying near a pair of tan shoes, which
had been removed from the woman's s
feet.
The character of the district and
the position in which the body was
lying, started the police on the muir
| der theory. During the day two sus.
pected persons were taken into Gus
tody and questioned, but they shed NO
| light on the circumstances surround
| ing the death, nor did they identify
| the body.
| Andrew Dufrant, porter in the Vol
unteers' lodging house, 10 South Des
PLANES street, was questioned first
few hours later, Margaret Ziethen
1043 West Madison street, after view
| ing the body at the Sheldon under
taking rooms, 912 West Madison
street said she believed it to be that
of Mrs. Fay Weston, a piano teacher
living at the same address. Later
her sister, Myrtle, said the body was
not that of Mrs. Weston, although
the description of the two nearly tai
| lied. Mrs. Weston had not been home
since about 4 o'clock Tuesday after
noon.

Worlds Wheat Crop.

Chicago, Ill, July 3.-World's 1913
oats crop has a 3.s0O,OOO,OOO aspect.
Oats have refused to grow profusely
in many countries. 1912 world crop
was 4,5OO,OOO,O 900 and 1911 crop equall-
ed $500, 10000
Our oats reports-over 100 today
are worst on the crop. Condition
seems reduced to 76 or II. Al out of
so reports in first mail ran 10 to rs
condition. The new five year par
way of approximating the crop is pre-.
posterous as it includes the freak
yield of 1912
We shall be lucky to raise 900 mill
lion oats and this is small crop. The
July s government guess will evidently
cover 7f0 to 725 million wheat, $40
oats and $500 corn.
The immediate market tone in all
grains depends on July to weather.
The board will close three days and
and aggressive short selling in ad-
vance of this holiday is not logical.
Last year oats were strong over the
9Th but wheat and corn declined.
In 1911 all grains advanced over the
4th-September corn jumping from
62A on July to 667s on July 8. In
1910 all grains advanced over the 4th.
III 1909 there was slight general de-
cline.
Oats should be given every bullisk
attention. Occasional strong corn
bulges are indicated June failed to
build up provision reserves-signa.Iy.
You cannot bull wheat permanently
until Canada is damaged. Securities
should remain firm.
