Chicago Butter and
Egg Board Enjoined
From Making Prices

CHICAGO, July lT.--An Injunction re-
straining the Chicago Butter and Egg
board from publishing prices was granted
by Federal Judge lands today on appll-
cation made by the government last
winter
The government contended that by pub
fishing prices on the commodities the But
ter and Egg board artlficially created
prices higher than the market warranted
and violated the federal law prohibiting
all acts In restraint of trade.
The government suit against the Chi
cago board is similar to the recent action
against the Elgin Board OF Trade which
resulted in the entering OF a decree d.
recting that actual sales should alone be
quoted and no attempt to fix prices should
be made by what was known as price
committee,
II is the intention OF tho district at
torney TO draft a similar decree In the
case Of the Chicago Butter and Egg
board, making actual sales the basis OF
butter and egg quotations.

vinces Them the Two MeR Are
Parties ImpIic \ ed in

house, and his brother Tony Calabriu,
formerly employed by the city, were
ordered arrested by Chief Of Detectives
Steve Maloney after he had visited tho
scene O fthe crime in the afternoon.
AS Steve Msloney interviewed differ
ent people about the neighborhood. a
brother of William Rapp came to the
party of detectives and newspaper men,
and asked Chief Maloney to come to the
Rapp home.
Rapp's Dying Statement.
There both Mrs. Rapp and a brother
of the dead man said that upon his death
bed William Rapp told them that 1t was
Tony Calabria who did the shooting,
and that Joe was with him.
Following the first clue given by Mrs.
Anna Hubbell, Twenty-fourth and Pa
cific streets, the detectives started north
up the alley between Twenty-thlrd and
Twenty-fourth on Pacific street. Just
back of the home of Pasquale Digilio, 1026
South Twenty-third street, the alley is
closed on the north end by a high fence.
The two men, fleeing from the scene of
the murder passed from the alley to
Twenty-third street, past the window of
the Digilio home Mr.. Dlgilio was on the
porch and saw them go out the front
gate, turn south to Pacific street, GROSS
to the east side of Twenty-third street
and then walk north on the east side of

recognized them . the Calabria brothers.
Chief Maloney believes that he will be

responsibility of the shooting to Tony
Calabfia.
Result of PostmOrtem.
Postmortem examinations conducted
over the bodies OF the Schroeders at the
Hulse & Riepen undertaking parlors by
DR.. Samuel McClenaghan and over the
body of Rapp at st. Josephs hospital
shortly after his death, show that the
three men were shot by bullets from
gun of .SS-caliber. The slanting direction
taking by the bullets found in the men
are absolute proof, according to the physi-
clans, that they were shot from point
higher than where they were standing.
The result Of the postmortem convinced
the police that someone besides the dead
trio did the shooting and extra efforts
to uncover developments along that line
were begun forthwith.
