Shorts in December
Corn Seem Scared
James A. Patten Believed To Be Prin-
cipaI Lons-Takines of Hard
Wheat Heavy.
sy JOSEPH r. PRiTcHARD.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE shorts in
December corn seemed to realize their
position to-day more than at any tune
in the present season. This probably
was caused more by the untaVorahle
weather and the prospects of still small
err receipts than on any twisting OF the
market by the big longs.
II is generally believed in Board OF
Trade, circles that James a. Patten or
some one doing, business through the
BARTLETT Frazier house is the principal
long 10 December corn at Chicago,
The principal shortage is to be found
in one of the big concerns in laSalle
street The contract stocks of corn
here are small, and they are owned by
u few houses.
II is said the larger part of the hold
ings have been sold to go out. Western
receipts of corn were 2,6S6,000 bushels
this week, compared with 2,621O0O bush
els for a like period last year.
The trade in wheat was somewhat
surprised to-day by the reported tax
ings of 1851 900 bushels hard winter
wheat by exporters and the fact that
there were good sales of this grain ear
lier In the week to the same interests.
Primary receipts for the week were
S.S7S, 900 bushels, compared with lZ,oo2, =
600 bushels one year ago. Northwest
ern receipts were only 1856 cars for
the week, against 1914 cars for the same

reader sends the writer OF this
column the following clipping
doesn't say what newspaper 1t is
from-anent the recent decision Of the
Supreme Court in the famous Cassidy
case. and asks IL 1t does not prove
that, after all, the licensed locker
clubs and near beer saloons of Geor-
gia may not have won much OF a
victory
THE court only remands to the
jury the final decision of the mat
ter-that is. whether the injunction
shall be made permanent or not, as in
other cases The judges will still
grant temporary iniunct lions, and
these will remain until the matter is
finally passed on by the jury. If the
jury should turn a guilty party loose
another Injunction can be served as
soon as any Illegal liquors are sold,
and the chain runs an infinitum.
Evidently, there IL much honest aud
earnest difference of opinion through
out the state with regard to this now
famous decision and neither side is
quite sure where IL stands by reason
of the same.
Since the correspondent referred to
herein invites comment upon the clip
ping inClosed, however, 1t may be
stated, merely as an opinion In no
way prejudiced or necessarily fixed,
that the argument set forth would
seem to have its faults.
1t hardly seems probable that a Su-
perior Court Judge, whatever his per-
sonal opinions with respect to prohi-
bition might be, would continue an

tions against a given defendant, per
sistently found not guilty by jury.
one temporary Injunction having been
granted (and subsequently dissolved
by a jury) hardly would be granted
again and Immediately upon the same
facts and allegations against the
same defendant.
In other words, no judgel likely
would be willing to make himself
party to n transparent scheme, evil
IDENTIFY designed to make permanent
in effect an injunction that had been
solemnly dissolved by jury, after
full legal hearing on the facts and
the law.
In the meantime, some newspaper
comments upon this decision may be
found, perhaps, more or less interest
ing, and three widely differing sam
Piles thereof are submitted.
-
Says the Pike County Journal. The
Supreme Court has knocked into
cooked hat the movement in Macon,
Rome and other cities in Georgia to
close the near-beer saloons as null
sances, holding that a Judge may tenn

that he can not permanently enjoin
them from running these places in

The Griffin News says: ut can not

There is no boxing commission at
the faculty will take over the duties
ordinarily appertaining thereto and
will sit more or less solemnly next
thursday on the tWo-round bout
staged Friday afternoon between two
Tech freshmen.
The combatants were Frank Ker-
nan, of New Orleans, and William
Coney, of Columbus, Ga. The referee
was Professor W. F. Herman, head
OF the modern languages department,
and brother of one of the princi-
pals. Professor Boggs also was con-
nected with the affair, somewhat in
the capacity of CHIEF of police, as he
stopped the combat early in what
would have been the second round,
had timekeeper been on the job.
The young men had had a falling
out, which included a thrown eraser
and highly colored ep;.het. Frank
Herman threw the epithet, and his
brother, the professor, told him he
must apologize or fight.
Herman elected to fight.

Of instructors surrounded the ring
in Sleepy Hollow, and the referee
told the principals to go to it.
They did this in true Queensberry
style, which was changed unexpected
ly to London prize ring rules when
Coney, after being knocked off his
legs, got up and put half-nelson on
his adversary.
About this time Professor Boggs
appeared and called off the match be-
fore Professor Herman had time to
declare it a draw.
Later Herman declared he was not
specific in his remark, the boys shook
hands, and everything was squared
pending the faculty hearing Thurs
day. But there is a bunch that nc
desperate penalties will be visited or

Professor Herman is Tulane grad

plenty of room for argument left in
the matter Of this latest Georgia Su-

to Mr.. Lees heart, although some of
the counties through which 1t was
proposed to run it have not warmed

may issue sufficient bonds to insure
it's necessary participation if the work
is to be done.

THE club will occupy the two top

New York Doubling Thomases.
Mr.. Hurt was in the East making a
few final arrangements for the COM
pletion of his handsome skyscraper,
recently opened when he was told
that his proposition was beautiful, but
that Atlanta already had more office
space than necessity demanded. Mr..
Hurt wired to Atlanta to find out just
how many vacant offices there were
in town. and in a short time he was
informed that here were exactly 10,
notwithstanding the fact that more
than 5000 were checked up.
Guess that will show whether an
other slyscraper is needed or not

telegram.
