The traction trust is going to try
and get away with one of the biggest
grabs ever attempted in Chicago re-
Gently. The big powers who are plan
ming the merger of the elevated and
surface lines are now going to try
and take away the city's SIS per cent
of net receipts of the surface lines.
Of course. they're making lot of
excuses for this. The principal. one
is that they need the dough for the
''betterment of service. - Their eff
forts to put over the deal will be in

FIND TANK CAR

 Repairers who were at work on the car discovered that it was a tank car in more senses than one. Outwardly it was receptacle for coal oil, but the only oil found in it was of the fusel variety.
 When the workmen. noticing some thing out of order with the cap, open ed the car they were amazed to find it contained a stock of whiskey wine and beer in unaddressed packages. Marks on the car showed it was billed to Oklahoma City. The "wet goods are believed to have been intended for blind tiger operators in the dry state fo Oklahoma.
 Federals officials and Iron Mountain detectives to whom the matter was reported are trying to solve the mys- tery of how the intoxicants got into the tank car. The cargo included 101 corrugated cases contining half pint bottles of bonded ,whiskey, several cases of a popular brand of wine, many cases of bottled beer and ten six gallon casks of whiskey or brandy. Though no address appeared on the packages, some of them were marked with mysterious letters and | figures.
