Tho Xongh & Errogninritics » fromn Stophon Olary, Esq. To the Bditor of The Chieago Tribunet By I think it fortunato, at least for hewse paporsmen, that the testimony taken in ths Tongh enso Ia to ha pelntad, for 1 bvliove it wiil woitle sdvornl quostions on which, judging from your oditorinl this morning, o large part of the community aro at soa, Tho testimony docs not disclose tho fact that all tho elovator-mon in Ohieago hiave boon ongaged in'lssuing or rela- sulug fraudalont rooelpts, On the contrary, that no such thing had beon done at all, bug that tho only offonso was ~hipping out gistn in some cancs withoit promplly cancoling warchouse- rocolpta, Tho tostimony discloscs that all of thom occaslonally dono this, and that In’ thia only was the difMoulty; and that, as ‘s gonoral thing, cancelationsa wera promptly made, Boo. 8 of tho Warchonso Inw requirgs all pub- lic warcliousemon of Olass'D to take out licenso from tho Ciroult Oonrt, by giving bonds for §10,- -000, cunditioned for the faithful porformance of duty, undor penalty of not loss than 8100 nor more than 8600 for each day such business is so carrfod on; and. the Court may revoke tho liconso, Doubtlngs the Loglalaturo supposed no one would attempt to do business without a liconse, and honoo falled to affix a poualty to any of tho othor roquiroments of tho law, excopt tho issuing of fraudalent receipts and’ the shipping out of graln without cancoling’ roceipts, Waro- housomon sere advised that thoy could resiat the soveral othor requiraments of tho law, ns it ‘wan inoporative for want of penalty, Bco, 16 of -ths lnw flxes tho maximum rate of storago at 2 conts per bushol for tho first 30 duys, or parta thercof ; and for overy 16 days, or parts thoroof, fter the first 8)- days, at 3¢ cont or.bushel, 'Thia seotion .has boon completoly nored, and tho oharge f1as boon 2 oants for 20 nys, and-3¢ cont for 10- days thereaftor. Tho old Board of Cominissionors orderod euit to ‘bo brought for violations of this sootion,; which was oommenced bofore the fire, aud, when reached in the Ciroult Court, waa thrown out a8 {riopera- tive for want of ponalty, Information was filod in the Olrouft Court, in Boptembor, 1871, sgainst Muon & Boott, for ro- fusal to take out liconse ; and, when resohed. in 1872, an agreed ocasc was mado, with a view of vaking it to the Supromo Court ; and tho Court Lelow finod Munn & Bcott 81001 This caso Lan beon ponding in the Supromo Court sinoo #hat timo, It was rumorod, early last ppriug, that a dooision had beson mado, and would be publishod in June; but, aftor tho accossion of the uew Judgas, tho Court orderod the case to bo roar- gued, and a decision'fs now expeatad by January at farthoat, : Tndiotments woro found, in 1871 and 1873, lfil\il‘lll Hugh Mahor and Munn & BScott for 8 lpplnE out grain without cancoling rocoipts s but nothing furthor has boon done,—the oflicors of tho Iaw are waiting for tho docision of the Bupremo Court, Itis hoped tho decision will be favorable to tho law. I suppose none of those “* fiagrant violations" of the Iaw have been con- doned by tho delsy, and that numerous prosacu- tions may resuls, Boo, 26, which you quoto, makon it & ponal of- fouso -for suy warohouseman to issuo n Tecoipt for'any proporty not actually in staro at tho timo. Now, what is meant by © in stora " ? “This seotion relates as well to_warehousemon of Class O, who take salt and pork, and snch kind of proporty, on storage. Suppose one of this class wero to have his warehouse full, and should employ a canal-boat alongside to carry on his business; would putting the pork on that oraft mot bo in ‘mtoro if so takon on storage ? Meny timea:during tho year the olovators get. full, and tho '*Contral” and and “ Northwestern " built cribs noar by; which woro rogarded as regular by tho trado. It is well known to the trado that the receipts thoy get for grain do not reprosont tho identical graln that wont fn atore, Lut only corrospond- ng smount of tho eamo kind and grado ; that, whilo a train of cars may be unloading on one o of an_clovator, ths -samo grain 1o bolng spouted to a veasel on tho other eide. And miore particnlarly is this tho case with capal- grain, A canal-boat sont to unfoad will meot & vessol wanting tho same grado of grain sho Lo on board, and hor cargo will bs spouted to tho vengol. Reoolpts aro givon to the owner of tho canal-cargo for this grain, and the lovator man cancols & correspouding amount of the roceipta loft by the vossel-ownor. This is s technical violution of tho law, whioh requires that the old- est grain in atoro shall bo tho Gret shipped. - But tho demands of trado, it is contonded, aro abovo the law, and patticwarly so whon' there is no Ppenalty'to onforce it. It muy be safoly asserted that the ohief, if not the only, dangor of fraudsiu tho elevator-busi. noss iu'Chicagois in the strong inducomont to ship out the grain in storo without the caucelln~ tion of roceipts. Fraudulent recoipts, in my judgment, are a myth sinco the registration. Bystem was adoptod, and the roissuing of old ro- coipta taken up is impossible without detection. No such discoverios have boon mado. Early in Septombor last, tho elovators hand- ling canal-grain woro noarly full, and tho room thoy had H.\uly were desirous of keeping for rail- road-grain. It was, thorefore, very dificult to got boatsunloadod. Hough & Co.' made Arrangomonts to unload some Lwouty boats, nnd, desiring to Xoep the room they liad in the olovator for tho railronds, thoy conoluded o parchaso aud ship most of those boat-loads. It will not be con- tendod that thoy had mo' logal right to do so, provided thoy canceled recoipts for any of tho boat-loads on whioh raceipts had boon 18enad,— not tho identical receipis, but for & correspond- ing amount. They statod to me_thiat, on Bome of tho boat-londs; raceipts would bo Toquired, a8 tho ownors bad to *delivor” the corn, fi0ttcr They would_require to bo registered. I told’ them I eaw' no ol‘))oatiqn to regis- toring tho zecaipt, provided thoy promptly cangeled au equivalont amount. On'tho Otk of September, _they commonced loading . tho #choonor Annio Vonght; and, whon 8,654 bushols hiad bogn loaded, tho machinory in tho cloyator broke down. Tho whole procoeding must. thon come to a stop, unless they could omploy ' tho flonting-elevator to carry ont thoir ongagrements, I thought, In such an emergency, it would bo do- ing no injustice to any ono, and mo flagrant vio- lation of law, to rogard the floater for this pur- Dboso as part and parcel of the Hough olevator; and that, if tho cancellations wore duly made, it would bo safe to register mome of theso leads, Thore were elgnt boat-londs 8o traus- ferred to tho Aunie Vought, of which six boat- londs wero xefilulnred; and thao books of Hough & Co. show that thoy had purchasod the rocoipts of thrae of thoso londs during that day and tho next, and {hat, within the succeeding throo days, thoy had purohasod for thogo ahipnionts 90, 10 bushnls of corn, "Thren more veewels wero loaded during tho 1i(h, 12th, and 13th of Septomber; tho cannl-boats were duly unloaded ; congigneos had boen greatly accommodated,—had got the monoy for thoir corn, and the boats dise patohod for more.

This, 88 X undorstand it, is tho offonsa, “Lioy could not bo indioted for' issuing fraudu- lont recoipts, for they hud the property actually in thoir possossion, ~ They may be indicted for the formor, aud, when the oflicors of the law got mlld’ to pmucvi, there may be a dsy of rock oning. i # On the 18th and 20th of Beptomber, tha Houghs lorded from store the sohooners I, B, Kuoapp and Nabob.
