Great Congestion Of Loaded
Cars In Railroad Yards
Unable to Move
WESTERN ROADS REFUSE
TO ACCEPT SHIPMENTS
Big Decline In Prices Of
FOOdstufs Is Looked For
In Chicago

Chicago, Feb 13.-The announcement
of the closing down of five elevators
having a capacity of seven million bush
eds, by the j. Rosenbaum Grain com.
pany, here, shortly before noon caused
q sharp break in all grains in the grain
exchange. May wheat dropped two
cents. July, three cents and September
two and half cents.
Corn and oats also tumbled. Along
with the announcement of Rosebaum
came the news that half dozen other
elevators would close. They are filled
with grains and cannot ship.
The Wabash railroad joined other
western lines and placed an embargo
on all grain shipments to Chicago and
east this morning. Traffic conditions
are characterized as "rotten" by grain
men. Cars cannot be secured at any
price. A complete generalization of the
grain market will follow, they assert,
unless relief is Forthcoming. The Ger
man submarine embargo is blamed.
In Chicago yards, according to of
ficials of the Rock Island, there arc
more than 900 loaded cars consigned to
the Atlantic sesboard from points on
the Rock Island alone. Most of these
contain grain for export. Eastern roads

Chicago, Feb. 12.-That far-reaehing
effect, the paralysis of western shipping

nitions in western markets, which was
predicted as an aftermath of the Ger
man submarine embargo, has failed to
make itself felt in Chicago, st. Louis,

A careful survey of big shippers to-
day revealed the fact that shipments to
the allies had not decreased. Big pack

grain shippers found their only draw
back the scarcity of rolling stock.

that they were in a scrappy mood when
the afternoon session began. AT any
rate it was but few minutes after
getting started when Dimick moved the
taking of senate bill No. 1863 from the

took the floor and in his sledge ham

themselves and avoiding competition.
He showed by this same report that
these companies had made from los to
las per cent profit on their contracts
in Yamhill, Lane and Benton counties.
He read numerous newspaper clippings
to the same effect and asserted that all
honest competition had been shut out.
1t was robbing game. In reply to
questions he said some of the bill's
teeth had been pulled in committee but
it still had some teeth left, which
caused LaF'ollette to remark they were
mot opposite each other and could not
bite
Olson took the, corporation side OF it
and said so long as the committee had
amended the bill until il was about
right he would vote for it. After sew

the bill passed.
Another lively tilt occurred when IL.

table. 1t empowered the state govern

over this but it was finally made the

less than 100,000,000 pounds or less than
half of one per cent, the bulk of which
comes from Argentine, Australia and
Canada.

million pounds of sugar and we import
over five billion five hundred million

Three bills introduced by the consoli-

member of the board to act in case of

cut from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t is under
stood one of these is to represent the
employe and the other the employer. As
the commission stands now this would
eliminate Major Carle Abrams, but as
the governor has the appointment it Is
more probable the democratic member
of the board will be the one to be let

There was considerable discussion Of
the bill; President Moser indorsing il

was satisfactory to both employer ant

Germans Do Not Believe
United States Entrance Into
War viii Affect Results

that Won Hindenburg was awaiting the
opportunc moment for the great, final
effort of Germany s forces.
Germany S military leaders believe
the moment of Germany S victory is at
hand. They hold this victory will be
achieved because of the success which
will attend the unlimited submarine war
fare and because of the shortage OF
French munitions and supplies, due to
lack of coal in France.
Moreover, these leaders thing the fin
al, overwhelming effort will be made,
and complete success achieved before
America can move.
Though the German army and navy
is prepared-and anxious-tor war with
America, German newspapers have been
urging Americans to work for peace and
have been beseeching the German ad
miralty not to torpedo ships carrying
American passengers, their efforts, how
ever, do not appear TO be successful.
Censorship Severe
During the past three months, the
German censorship has been most Sc
we're. Correspondents have been unable,
truly to picture conditions in Germany.
Only such dispatches as were designed
10 influence American opinion, were al
lowed to tpass.
z Berlin cannot understand why AM
erica maintains her diplomatic rela
tions with Austro-Hungary after hav-
ing severed with Germany. Officials
pointed out, before. the terard party
left. the capital, that Emperor Carl
and the Austrian foreign minister were
both present at the conference Kaiser
Wilhelm 5 Birthday: great German
headquarters, where il was decided to
open the unlimited submarine war
Moreover, Berliners point out, Aus
Fia-Hungary, through her emperor and
foreign minister, at that time accepted,
with Germany, tull responsibility for
such warfare.
Berlin Was Agtonished
Berlin was astonished. officials and
the Dublic alike, when President Wilson
broke relations with Germany. The as.
tonishment came because officials had
recently been assured by German Am
orleans in the United States that vii
son would not sever relations, for fear
+ of a German-American uprising The
same belief was held by the German
public.
