Letter IS SUED
BY GRAIN men
Companies Seek to
Recover on Notes from At
tempted Corner"
PLAYED JUDAS HE SAYS
Threw Their Wheat on the Market,
Despite Agreement. and
Smashed His Plans.

Chicago, Dec. 12-Joseph Letter, who
once aspired to the title OF Wheat
King" is being sued N Chicago by the
Interior and Monarch Elevator Com
panIes, of Minnesota, for $5So,sS5 This
represents principal and interest on
notes given the elevator companies by
Letter in payment for part of the wheat
he bought up in his effort 70 corner
the market In 1sss-the effort which cost
him about 100000.
"Oh, was not going to corner the
market so tightly that the people could
not buy a loaf Of bread" he explained
today after he had told Federal Judge
Humphries Of his transactions.
Nothing like this, but I'd have had
them eating out Of my hands II the
elevator people had not played Judas
with me-"
Letter explained that in his effort to
corner the market he had entered into
an agreement with the elevator COM
panies which are now suing him. He
was to buy wheat Of them and they were
to keep their wheat off the market-R
sort Of partnership, he declared. He
bought 10000 bushels, paid them 10000
in cash and gave notes for the remainder.
Then the elevator companies played
Judas with him as Mr.. Letter expresses
it-threw their wheat on the market,
reaped the profits and incidentally
smashed into little bits the corner Letter
had almost completed.
Il don't remember just how many mil
lions IL did cost me-" said Letter re-
flectively. "I know that 1t was between
SO. 900 900 and 600 that owed the
Illinois Trust and Savings Bank alone.
But have paid of off-paid all my cred
itors dollar for dollar. l have paid them
myself with money that l made myself
About these notes-I don't consider
that 1 owe them. The agreement be-
tween the elevator companies and me
made us virtual partners and it was
their breaking OF our Agree
ment that the corner fell through"
When Letter was asked whether he
was still broke" he smiled and admit
ted that he was several jumps ahead
of the sheriff Just now. Besides the
money he has paid and sunk in paying
off his old debts he last year inherited
a bout $1O,OOO,000 from his mothers
estate.

LEPER HAS COMPANION
In HIS LONELY CABIN
Emil R. Cradle Joins John Early in
Hut on Banks of Eastern
Branch.

John Early, leper. now has company
in his lowly cottage on the banks of
the Eastern Branch of the Potomac
Emil r. Cradle was committed to the
cabin yesterday by the District health
authorities.
Recently Cradle gave himself up to
the authorities here. DR.. J. ]. Kinyoun.
bacteriologist of the health department.
diagnosed CRADLES case as leprosy. In
order TO show no distinction in the
treatment of Early and Cradle, the
health department provided the new
conner with a rocking chair, similar to
the one used by Early.
Early really is glad he has company.
He says it will add to his argument
that a national leprosarium should be
built by Congress. These cold winter
nights are lonesome on the Eastern
Branch. and all that Early had for
comfort in the past was a lone sentinel
standing guard a hundred feet or more
away.

Nominees On State Tickets

Helena. Aug. 27.-The democratic
state ticket was completed today when
additional returns from Tuesdays pri-
mary insured the nomination of Dis
trict Judge ]. NJ. Clements of Helena.
for associate justice of the supreme
court and j. f. Mccormick of Boulder.
for railroad commissioner. With par
tial returns from all but five counties
Clements leads both his opponents by
owe a thousand votes and Mccormick
leads by practically 1000 over Love-
lace and Johnson who are running
neck and neck. These leads, it is
agreed, cannot be overcome by the
vote still outstanding.
1t now seems probable the republi-
can congressional ticket will be com.
posed of Fletcher Maddux of Great
Falls, whose nomination is assured,
and w. J. Mccormick of Missoula, who
has attained a slight lead over H. H,
Parsons, also of Missoula. and who
was first thought to have won the
nomination. Returns from outlying
precincts. however, continue to in
crease the Mccormick vote. The re
suit will probably be in doubt until
the official canvass of the returns is
had.
