Chicagoan Insists That
Unless the Foodstuffs
Are Moved Ahead of
Other Freight, Situa-
ton Will Grow Worse

Chicago, Feb. 2l.-President /.
P. Griffin of the Chicago Board
of Trade today telegraphed to the
interstate commerce commission
and to the presidents Of eastern
railroads insisting that unless an
immediate embargo were placed on
all products eastbound out Of Chi
cago, except fuel and foodstuffs,
the country will face the danger of
anarchy and rioting.
Chicago's grain elevators have prac-
tically ceased operations, it is said
They are loaded to the roofs and un-
able to ship out.
Grain dealers have estimated that
there are at least 10000. 900 bushels Of
grain in Chicago elevators awaiting
shipment. that there are at least H.
900, 900 bushels on cars held UP on
switch tracks and sidings and that in
addition tributary grain sections have
an equal amount in elevators and on
trains
In his telegram to the railroad presi-
dents, Mr.. Griffin says:
To the Commission.
Despite all your assurances, no re-
lief has been afforded to move grain
and other food products out of Chi
cago.
THE present scarcity of supplies
borders on famine in many communi-
ties with the consequent imitation OF
values directly chargeable to the fall

No Extra Session.

The president has decided not to
call an extra session of congress un-
less there should be an unusual
emergency. and 1t was generally ac-
cepted today that he will not call the
senate in special session after March
4th.
While general comment on the Aus
trian situation was reserved today, it
Is understood that the administration
believes the negotiations so far have
been unsatisfactory. Ultimately a
break Is expected unless Austria
changes its position.

Helena, Feb. 2l.-Nothing short
of sudden death or complete dis
ability will prevent William Cuts,
the new member from Silver
Bow, from serving through the re-
mainder of the session. The su-
preme court today denied the ap-
plication of Attorney General Ford
for an order ousting Mr.. Cults,
who was appointed by the governor
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of the late ]. ]. Flanagan.
The appointment was confirmed by
the house. The attorney general
began proceedings yesterday di-
rected against Mr.. Cuts, and these
came to an end today when the
court declared that each house was
the sole judge Of its membership.
The situation following the refusal
OF the senate yesterday to consider

ate before the fiftieth day of the ses-
sion remained unchanged today An
parently acting on instructions, the
secretary of the senate today declined

sidered by the senate, but these were
