TREACHERY COSTS $3.50, 933

Baked $4,000, 900 Corner

ing Letter s attempt to corner the
wheat market in 1898, according to
the verdict, last night of the jury
which heard the elevator companies

If you find from the evidence that
there was an illegal conspiracy to OBJ.
tain control of the wheat market. then
the notes are void

sold Chicago real estate valued at
$lO,OO0,O00 to $15,000,00O after the

N ANY Details ALREl DY
PLANNED FOR IhAL CJRAL
Platform VIII Be in Same Position as
That for the Tener Ceremonies
Little Actual Work Will Be Left
for Committee of Legislature To-day

Preliminary preparations for The
Inauguration of Martin G. Brumbaugh
as Governor on January 21 are being
looked after by those interested on
Capitol Hill, and when the Inaugural
Committee is appointed by the Senate
and House on January it is likely
that the committee will have little to
do outside Of sending out invitations
to distinguished persons to be present,
arranging the payade and the order of
exercises, and looking after the com
fort of the incoming Governor.
Superintendent Rambo to-day got
out his plan of the platform on which
the inaugural exercises will take place.
1t is the same plan on which the Tener
inaugural platform was constructed.
The platform will be at. the entrance to
the capitol, extending out over the
plaza, and will have seats for the new
officials, state officials, members and Of
ficers of the Senate and House and the
ladies of the official party. Press seats
will be provided as heretofore at the
front on either side of the stand whore
the oath of office is administered and
the inaugural exercises take place.
When the Legislature meets on Jan
uary the Senate and House, after or
ganizing, will pass a resolution provid-
ing for the creation of an inaugural
committee. 1t is always customary to
put the Dauphin Senator,-in this case
Senator Beidleman,-on the committee
and include the members of the House
from Dauphin. One of the first duties
of the House will be to pass first a
bill providing for the payment of the
inaugural expenses. The Legislature of
1911 appropriated $4,000 to pay the
expenses of the Inauguration.
In the Senate, directly after the
inauguration of Governor Brumbaugh,
the oath of office will be administered
to Lieutenant Governor Frank B. Nc
CLAIM, and then both legislative bodies
will be ready for the work of the ses-
sion.
1t is thought that both the civic and
military parade will be the finest inau-
gural parade ever seen here. The de-
tails will be worked out by the inau-
gural committee.
