SEVENTEEN HELD
IN RIOT HEARINGS
GRAND JURY IN CHICAGO RE-
TURNS INDICTMENTS IN
RACE CLASHES.
Judge Grove Tells Jurors That Exc
cutons WOULD Cool Hstreds.-
Number Of Dead Fixed at
Thirty-three.

Seventeen negroes were charged
with rioting and murder In indict-
ments voted by IA special grand jury
Investigating race riots, which, for five
days last week, held the south side Of
Chicago in "a reign of terror.
While city, county and state author
tiles combined In seeking causes which
led 10 the rioting, In an cndeavor to
fix responsibility, 5000 state troops,
5000 policemen and 1000 deputies con-
tinued to patrol the negro quarter.
Offiials reported the riot zone quiet
and every effort being made to relieve
the suffering negroes who have been
marOOned In the area and who have
been unable to go to their work. "A
number of soup kitchens were opened
and guards were furnished for ne
groes who wished to return to work.
The police Monday obtained reports
of threatening, anonymous letters re-
ceiyed by negro families living on the
edge of the negro district, in which,
the negroes were warned to move with
in two days or their homes would be
burned and bombed and the negroes
killed.
The coroner has fixed the number
of dead at thirty-three and the city
health commissioner has found that
SOC people injured in the riots were
treated In hospitals, that perhaps 4W
or more who We're injured In the
riots never reported ut hospitals.
The state troops had little to dc
during Monday night in the riot zone
but much excitement was caused by
persistent reports telephoned to head
quarters of the Second regiment that
crowd of 500 men was gathering al
West 10Th street. When a company
of troops reached the scene the GROVE
vanished.
Several thousand negroes who ex
pectcd to return to work In the stock
yards must wait until the unres
caused by the disturbances in the dis
,rict has subsidized. After announcing
that the cOlored men would return Il
work, superintendent of all the large
packing plants decided that 1t wOul'
be prudent to hold the negroes ut thei
homes for an indefinite period.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Nov, 3.-Broader demand
for corn than has been witnessed here
in more than a month brought about
rise in prices today reaching an
extreme of GO c a bushel Much Of
the buying resulted from growing un-
easiness about prospective lack of
supplies to fill contracts for Deem

buoyant, &c to " net higher, with
December $1.37 to S1.379s and May
S1.31 a 1.S1 a Oats gained q C to / &c
and provisions 20 to $102.
Bulls were aggressive from the out
set in the corn market. To begin
with they had the benefit of knowl-
edge that hogs, cotton and stocks were
all on the upgrade and that resump-
ton of work by longshoremen had
taken place at the principal trans
Atlantic piers in New York Forecast
of wet weather then intensified
anxiety regarding delay to the crop
movement. In this Connection. It was
pointed out that existing terminal
supplies were unusually meager and
that the railroads burdened with
wheat and otherwise handicapped
might not be able for weeks vet to
handle any large quantities of corn
Heavy realizing of profits failed to
check the advance.
Activity in oats increased and the
market was dominated by the
strength of corn.
