CASTRO TO REMAIN
At ELLIS ISLAND

New York, Jan. 1.-THE writ of
habeas corpus in the case of Cipriano
Castro, ex-president of Venezuela, was
dismissed by Judge Hold i'll the
United States district court today
Holt ruled that Castro should not be
allowed to enter the country under
bond. Castro will remain at Ellis

This sustains the contention of the
government as argued by the district
attorney yesterday that, the federal
courts should not interfere in the case

right to enter the country. The board

were given to understand that other
provisions, not Inconsistent herewith.
such as a provision that fraud would
destroy it's negotiability, might be en-
dorsed on the ticket: however. they
were distinctly warned against print
ing any provisions Inconsistent with
the prescribed form, upon it, or pro-
visions that would change their liabil-
ity in any way. Complaint is now
made that the buyers are stamping
upon the ticket a provision that, UW-
ing TO the condition and quality of
the grain il is expressly agreed that
the holder of the ticket will sell the
grain stored TO the elevator company
storing it, on or before a certain date
at certain discount from the price
of No. 1 wheat. ...
While it might appear that this is
merely another way of grading the
grain and fixing its value in terms
bearing a fixed relation to the price
of No. 1 grain, and still gives the bail
or the opportunity to speculate with
his grain If he does wish, yet it unduly
hampers him in compelling him to sell
his grain to the warehouse at some
time or other, and destroys his right
to withdraw the grain from store or
demand delivery at terminal market
and the commission cannot approve
of II.
There is no law compelling an
elevator to buy grain it does not want
nor to store grain in bulk which cam
not be graded, and this commission
is not prepared to acknowledge that
the grain raised in this state is gener-
ally inferior i'm quality and so bad in
condition that the elevators have to
protect themselves from loss by modI-
flying the contract the law REQUIRES
them TO make with the grain seller.
1t is felt that merely calling the eleya-
tor companies attention to the boards
ruling, will be sufficient to do away
with the practice.
Prices at Non Competitive Points.
Complaint is made that the Min
neapoIis elevator companies have a
way Of sending out daily price lists
to North Dakota buyers fixing the
price of grain at points where they
do not have elevators or buy grain.
and invariably they fix the prices
or cents bushel higher at points
where they do not buy, than the mar

the grain buying industry in North
Dakota. The bulletin is as follows:
During the past six months a large

Gus practices of the grain buyers Of
the state, and the commission has
been so impressed with the import
ance of stopping these abuses that 1t

warning that violation of the statutory
provisions and the failure to observe
the instructions and orders and rules
of the board may result in the can
collation. of the licenses heretofore is
