Writes Open Letter to julius
Barnes Playing Speculative
Tactics Employed
by international News Service.


Blaming wheat gamblers for the
recent price crashes on the CHICAGO
grain market, Senator Hen, (
shipstead CT. Ii Of Mimi, today
Issued an open letter to julius
Barnes, former president OF the
United States Chamber Of Com
merce, attacking the latter's plea
for the announcement OF future
trading on exchanges"
Shipstead charged that gamblers
in wheat futures built up an
artificial corner" in wheat by
''doctored statistics and the
issuance Of cheap loans. AS a
result, the inflated prices finally
collapsed, Shipstead said, but most
OF the farmers escaped ruin by
selling their ruins at the peak or
the boom.
Shipstead denounced Barnes for
defending the bull market" in a
statement issued in February, just
before the collapse. He also called
on Barnes to explain the gambling
operations in series OF twelve
questions.
''I warned producers not to be
fooled by money powers pushing
ur quotations for political and fin
ancial purposes" said Shipstead in
the open letter. You credit me
with the nationwide action OF

to the City Council, Tues, Feb. "a

The campaign OF Maj. Robert r.
Jackson for Alderman .of the Third
Ward is assuming such aggressiveness
that it astounds the average "old citi-
zens" Of the ward. For the first time
in the history Of Chicago, white resi-
dents have opened their homes to a
colored candidate and when Charles G.
Roe and his estimabIe wife, Mrs. Hat
tie r. Roe, gave a house-meeting at
their beautiful residence on Oalrwood
Boulevard, in the interest Of the can
didacy Of Maj. Robert R. Jackson,
they broke the Zee and other men,
bers Of the white race are following.
On last Monday night, Mr. and Mrs.
Roe invited the white voters Of their
precinct, to attend = reception and mu-
sical entertainment given in honor Of
MAJ Robert r. Jackson. Nearly one
hundred white voters responded and
attended. Mr.. and Mrs. Roe received
their guests at the door and when
Major Jackson arrived, the house was
well flied. The three parlors on the
first floor were decorated with flags

and flowers and brilliantly illuminated
with varied colored lights which added
much to the attractiveness Of their
beautiful home at 634 OaIwood BouIe-
ward.
Former Assistant States Attorney
Charles c. Roe, presided and the
speakers were Hon. George Il. Kersey,
Ward Committeeman; Mai. Robert r.
Jackson, Mrs. Lucy Fitchenkam, Col.
Leopold Moss and William E. Defier.
Mr.. Roe, in introducing Maj. Jackson
said: "The people Of the Third Ward
are to be congratulated in having q
man Of such high character as Maj
Robert r. Jackson, to represent them
in the Board Of Aldermen.
II have been severely criticised by
some Of my white friends for the
