COMPANIES HIT ~BY INTEREST RATE (Continued, from first page). cluding the great elevator companies assisted by their allies, the railroads, and on the other, the - Farmers’ Equity exchange, headed by George 8. Loftus. -This investigation was started by the farmers of Chippewa county, Minnesota who made it an issue in the last campaign. It 'is the first real investigation of Minnesota terminal grain markets in years, and the Minneapolis Chamber of Com- merce, with an army of attorneys, is making a desperate fight. The fight is the same old story of the terrific struggle against Big Business and Big Business is using fhe same old tactics to discredit the men opposed to it. As the fight has grown hotter, the Chamber of Commerce interests have added to their lawyers until they now have probably the most imposing ar- ray of legal talent ever employed at such a hearing in the state. This list is headed by H. V. Mercer, law part- ner of Senator Wilson, who is a mem- ber of the senate grain and ware- house committee; Chas. R. Fowler, a member of the last legislature; for- mer Judge D. F. Simpson of the state supreme court; Judge Lancaster of Minneapolis; J. G. MeHugh, attorney and secretary of the Chamber of of Commerce and former Governor John Lind, who appears for the com- mission men. Opposed to ‘this imposing array of legal talent and acting-for the Farm- ers’ Equity organization is Benjamin Drake, Jr., of Minneapolis, the young man who was one of the La Follette leaders in the last campaign, Drake, although a mild mannered young man, is proving his abilities - as a fighting attorney. Chamber Men Leave Town. As soon as the investigation started some of the leading Chamber of Commerce men were called out of town on business. Subpoenas couldn’t,| reach them. The high priced lawyers guarding Chamber of Commerce in- terests have fought hard to keep must important evidence concerning the Chamber’s operations from be- coming public. Manahan, as attorn- ey for the house committee, forced much of it out in spite of these ef- forts, and Drake, the Equity attorney has had the same difficult job before the senate committee. To offset the effect of this evidence the Chamber of Commerce interests began their systematic assault on the Farmers’ Equity Co-operative Ex- change which soon developed into lit- tle more than attacks on a business rival. The Farmers’ Equity Exchange met this evidence point for point and replied that such deals are easily cooked up between Chamber of Com- merce interests to discredit the Equity people, and the Equity Ex- change in turn is ready with evidence to show the superior service it rend- ers the shipper. .

A forefgn critic says: “In hunting w cause for this apparent decadence of the once mighty people (the Brit- ish), some scientists have had much to say on the subject of tea drinking, for nowhere else is the habit 0 uni- versal as in the British Isles. ~ Wom- en and children drink tes off and on during the day. Business men have to stop ‘thelr work at intervals to partake of their tea. And in most in- stances the brew is exceptionally strong. It has been estimated that each person In Great Britain, om an average, takes & daily dose of 36 grains of alkaloid and 9.7 grains of tannin consumed in tea. This means that the average tea drinker takes! half ‘as much alkaloid and nearly as much tannin as the Maximum allowed by the British pharmacopoeia for an ocoasional dose. And,. of course, many thoisands of people drink a great dedl more than' the average dose.” Ouch!

Beggars and professional vagabonds who have passed thirty years do not | fail each year when the‘winds of Oc- } tober blow to select their winter quar- | ters.

He chooses his winter quarters wisely, for he knows the good and bad prisons. Fresnes, because of its valued and luxurious accommodations, occupies the first rank among prisons. This year the temperature was such as to bring about some true knavery on the part of these beggars and vagabonds. From the month of August they .were forced to commit some offense in or- der to assure themselves a'shelter. .| .So la Sante, the antechamber of Fresnes, was gorged with prisoners for whom the tardy rays of the September sun proved a cruel irony. - If the mag- istrates show clementy and condemn these derelicts to only six. months of prison the disaster of thesé poor dev- ils will be complete, for they Will, with- out pity, be thrown into the street in the open month of January.—le Ori de Paris.

ARE HANDSOMEST IN WORLD Royal Irish Constabulary Bear Off the Palm From All Police of the Earth. | = According to those most. entitled to speak on the comparative, pulchri- tude of the police, the Royal Irish Constabulary bear-off the palm from all policemen in =all” other parts’ of the world. . Dean- Hole is quoted in the London Chronicle as contributing the following tribute to the faseina- tions of the noble Irish force: “Our London police are well favored in appearance, but if the Royal Irish Constabulary were to take their place for » week there wouldn’t be a single female servant to be warranted heart whole in the metropolis.” i London goes.to the rural districts sult is often as amusing, not to say exaaperating, ae that which arises:in New York from the employment ‘of foreign car conductors, sublimely 1g- norant of city streets and neighbor- hoods.

Can a man of William Hinchman's temperament make good as a mana- ger of an American association base- balt club? In view of the undisputed fact that some have doubt as to his ability to make good, Hinchman's own answer may be interesting. - The question_was put at him squarely some time ago and he replied thus: “1 may be counted as a quiet ball player and lacking aggressiveness. -1 have always ‘decided while a player to keep my mouth shut and play ball. Now that | am manager it's up to, me to do the talking and running of the | team and L propose to do it with i as much success as'I had in’ minding’ my own business when a player.

T in- tend to be a ginger jar and to have control -of my club in a quict, firm way. ~It’s up to me to make good or fail to realize my ambition ot becom- ing a good manager.” The disposition of George Perflng on the team this spring will be inter- esting to watch. It is the intention Bill Hinchman. of the management to start Pete| Johns at third base, his natural post- | tion. There is a vacancy at second base and Perring may " be :switched there or to the outfield. -Miller has made good -at first base, 8o there is no opening at that spot. That a place will be found for Perring is certain. He can hit too well and do too many winning stunts to leave him off the batting order. ‘Thresher is one of the leading candi- dates for right field. He comes very highly recommended and will - be planted in right, where Congalton used to hold forth. If Johns' attempt ta make good at third fails, of course he’ will go back to right. - FEW ATHLETICS STRIKE OUT Few Pitchers Feit Comfortable While _ Facing Clan of Connie Mack— Coombs’ Good Racord. TEven though the Athletics did not win the pennant: in. the American league last season, there were few pitchers ' who felt comfortable while they were facing the clan of Mack. The White Elephants: brought woe to ‘many pitchers last year, and again led the American league in team hit-] ting. Mack’s artists also did Htfile striking out. When'they stacked up against such | flingers ‘as Ed Walsh, Walter Johnson, etc;, there was more or less whiffing in.the Mack ranks, but the Athletics' team punctured the air less than any other club in the Amerleln league last season.

John Ganzel Tells .New Story About Former Eccentric Pitcher of Phil- adelphia Athletics. - Manager John Canzel of the Roch- ester club in the International league tells another story of Rube Waddell, the former eccentric pitcher of the Philadelphia Athletics. Ganzel, who never touches liquor in any form, had gone into the barroom of the Motel with a friend and ordered a glass of ginger ale. Just then Waddell enter- jed with a companion and ordsred . beer. Not one of the drinks had been touched when Connie Mack, manager of the -Philadelphia. Americans, and also a teetotaler, stepped into. the barroom to use the telephone: Connie spied the Rube, but not as quickly as Rube had through the mir- ror back of the bar caught a flash of the manager, to whom he had pledged himself. not to " touch Hquor -all the year: With a qniok motion Waddell ex- changed his beer for Ganzel's ginger ale, and, holding up‘the glass so that Connie could-see it, he said: ~ “I'm just hafln‘ a lntle ginger ale, Connfe. Will you join me?” “And in order to protect the Rube,” sald Ganzel, in telling the story, “I had to drfuk the Rube's beer, the first In’r‘nd nly alcoholic: indulgence of my ‘Chattanooga. women: wh have a hiard row to hoe.
