As the reputation OF the Omaha
grain market grows, shipments grow

Over Billion in Bank Clearings.
During six months OF the twelve
months just past. the ank clearlngs
of Great Omaha every month ex-
ceeded the $l00,000,000 mark, and the
total for the year ran well over the
billion mark for the first time in his
tory. The clearings for October alone
reached Sl32,000000, and the grand
total for the year was 81 70. 1851.
The real estate transfers deserve an
especial explanation. The compare
tive figures al the head OF the column
indicate decrease of over million.
As a matter OF fact the real estate
business of the year surpassed that Of
last year but accurate figures for the
last three and three-quarters months
were not obtainablc. This was be-
! cause the federal war revenue stamp
act was repealed, effective September
8. | p to that time every deed had to
be stamped with government stamps
in exact proportion to the considera-
ton involved. Thus it became known
what the actual consideration was in
each transaction.
Do Not Show Real Values.
But Immediately after September
when the stamp act was abolished
| deeds began 10 be recorded again with
the convenient clause, Isl and other
valuable considerations Thus, for
the last three and 'three-quarter
months OF the year many larre sales
of real estate were recorded as 81
transactions. The proportion between
the amount involved in a given num-
| Der of transactions from month to
| MONTH and the amount recorded on
the deeds, is found to be pretty dehn-
lite over a period OF time. Thus If the
last three and three fourths months
| are estimated on the basis of what
the considerations likely we're, instead
of on what the al" considerations rec
orded, it is found that the total sales
for the year will run over SIC, 900.
| 1t is matter of record in the Office OF
the register OF deeds of Douglas
county that the considerations in the
deeds filed up to September 8, 1916,
aggregate $l2,ll7,ll6l4. This is shown
by the amount of stamps sold to
stamp the documents.
The most marked building activity
was shown during the year, with a
total aggregat, of $7,226,l07, as
against $5,3S5005 the previous year.

CORNERING FOOD STUFFS

Chicago's Health Commissioner DR.. John Dill Robert
son with fifty deputies under the guse of bad egg in
vestigation recently raded three Of the principal cold
storage plants of the city for the purpose of getting at
the facts of codsorage eggs and if possible breaking up
the combine. At one plant one man, James Wetz had
72OOOOOO eggs or three dozen for every resident Of the
ctv At the same time is stated by the American Ware
hosemens Association that there $4,000 less cases
of eggs in storage in Chicago than usual
This matter is timely and of unusual interest IN view
of the talk of placing embargo foodstufs 1t shows
that it is not what sending away that is causing
scarcity and high prices but the corneng OF supplies and
holding them off the markets.
Dr. Robertson's statement throws much light on the
subject and shows how anyone can get into the corne
business without much capital 1t seems that when car
load of eggs received at the costorage plant the per-
son storing them can draw 90 per cent OF the cost at once
With this money and small trifle more ne can purchase
another carload and drawing the 90 per cent continue IN
definitely to work the system He store so carloads
and have invested of his money but the cost OF one
carload Many other products can be cornered the same
wav and the food supply of the nation be ugged by
few unscnuous SPECTATORS and the consumer made to
nav whatever the rapacity of the gamblers demands II
is perhaps along this line that the relief from unheard OF
prices can be obtained rather than from the placing or
an embargo.
That is not the sending away Of our products that is
at the bottom of high prices is shown IN another way
country This is an indication that the price here is nigh
er than in Europe else the wheat would have gone there
instead of coming to this country 1t is not an embargo
that is needed but lacking up Of the spectators IN food
sfs at home stopping of the cOrnerlng OF the supply
and the artificial raising of prices due to the scarcly
which is made bv the SPECTATORS Stop all gambling IN
food stufs and there will be no need of an embargo

be Pan American reception, replacing
the diplomatic reception,
1t was discarded last year owing to
possible embarrassments arising
through belligerent diplomats meeting
each other over a glass of punch. Small

Portland years ago has been arrested in Seattle
and alleged have confessed to having helped dispose
Of the body while denying the killing He claims so the
police say that named Lund of San Francisco
the real murderer Lund is said to resemble Bartholomew
slightly and this may be the for laying the murder
on him. The only cew to the murder was furnished by
fisherman who told the officers that Bartholomew had
given him coat the morning after the murder and before
the body had been discovered Aferward this proved
to be the property of John Lind the murdered man. The
at the time attracted much attention and the trial
will be watched with intense interest Like the Hsboro
the evidence will probably be mostly of circum-
stantal character The murder was most brutal one

The question Of whether a newspaper
can be restrained from publishing an
article advertised in It's columns to ap-
pear on a certain date on the ground
that the person or corporation whom II
concerns believes it vii, be damaging
was argued before Supreme Court JUS
tie" Cohalan yesterday.
The point was raised In the injunc-
ton suit of the Greenhut Company. Inc.
against the Tribune Association TO re-
strain the newspaper from publishing an
article by samuel Hopkins Adams on
corning a sale by the Greenhut Com
pauy of the stock of the A. y. Mat.
th.ws SONS. Inc. The article WAS to
appear ON February 6. hui two days
before that date "a temporary injunction
was obtained ny The plaintiff restraining
the publication OF the article until tho
suit could Ice decided. The argument
Yesterday was on a motion to continue
the injunction pending the trial. The
plaintiff commended that Il would be
charged with dishonesty In the article
In question.
Col Henry W. Sarkctt, counsel for
The Trib Hn' contended that there was
uo warrant in law for the issuance Of
such an injunction against "A newspaper
and that the whole principle Of the free
dom 81 the press was involved. He
pointed out that II the article as pub
lish.d was lih.llous the newspaper
would lie amcnable TO both the civil and
criminal laws.
Benjamin Paskus. counsel for the
Greenhut Company, insisted that since
the plaintiff had knowledge that a
wrong was to be lone II could resort TO
a court Of equity to prevent the wrong.
Justice Cohalan reserved decision.
