Witnosses for the Proscoution Re- count Their Experiences in tho Matter, Reiteration of the Complaints as ' to Unevenness in Grading, Shippers Sending Wheat of One Grade, Which Is Scparated into Three Grades. An Assistant Inspoctor from Chicago on the Witness- Stand. Hi: Tastimony Contradiotory to That Some of the Previous Wit- 1ess08, Chlef Graln-Inspector Reynolds Vindi- cated, as o Was Once .Scen on tlio Track. The Proseontion's Testimony All in for tho Prossnt, but May Be Re- sumod, Soeelal Dispalch to The Chicago Tribuns, Sruxartenn, 1L, Feb, 2.—=The investigation of tho Warchouse Commissioners was resumed this nfternoon, Senator Fuiler In tho chalr. The lirst witness was Henry Mitler, dr., o graln-deal- ¢r of Ln Crosso, Wis, Ho shipped grain to Chicngo, Milwaukeo, and St. Louls,—mostly to ilwaukow, becaugothore ho got a niore uniforin grade. He had shipped to Chleago Wisconsin apring whent looking very liko winter whent, and on nrrival it wus inspected No, 2 winter mixed. Witness bought wheat from tho farmors and cleaned it up to gende, Not one bLushel in fifty io Minncsotn ever saw the fanning-mill. Nearly all the cle- vators vontain maohinory for cleaniug graln, 80 tho shilppors cun muke tho grades. Tho Larley Inspector in tho employ of witness was as good ns uny In Chieago or Mitwaukee. o mnde four grades of harley. Witness shipped barley te Chicago atter gotting the standard No. 2togradoby. Not fiftoen curs out of twenty of La Crosse No. 2 burley wonld Inspect No.2 unless subjected to reinspectlon, I3 oxtrn No. i burley was Inapected in Chicngo as No. 2. TS KIND OF l.\'.’il:{' TION I DID NOT WANT. + ‘Witness complalucd atiout Chicago Inspectors grading bls Wisconsin wheat ns mfxod with win- ter, und afteewards o got better fuspeetion, 1 tho slippera did not clean tho gritln tho millers would come and freeze out tho shippers. Wit~ ness used o brush machine for scouring barley, which does not injure tho graln, 1t makes the harley welgh moro, and cleuns it thoroughly, Bomu scouring machines might injure tho bar- ley. The grades in Mllwaukee were uniform aud unchanged. Whenever fletitious prices were current in Chlengo tho Inspection was not uniform. Witness had spring whent condemned in Chicngo becnuso the Inspector sald Stwas mixed with winter wheat, Ho sometimes had whent lnspected us No, 3 in Chleago go No. 2In Milwaukee, On eross-oxnmination, witness safd hio ghipped grain from tho country by cnrs and barges to his elovators in La Crosse, He generally made two grades of whent,—that is, he separated the datnuged from the sound grain, o mixed sound grades 8o a8 to make n Chicago No. & IT WAS STILL A QUESTION 08 to tho line of No. 2 when the grido was mado by mixing. The machinery witness uged did not injuro the Larley. Witness was o practical miller, and always scoured tho wheat before milling. The scouring removes the gorm of the yrain and mankes it botter for milling, Scouring woulil not lm- prove bloached wheat, as it cannot bo medo Lright and sound. Experts can deteet a mixture of sound and unsound grafn, but it requires tho expert to be very sharp, No, 2 spring should be Just whut tho inspeotion geado calls for, Wit- ness could not understand why tive cars of n mixed lotshould go No. 2 and five other cars No.d, It ts an fupossibility to deal In grain without mixing, It was bis custom to thoroughe ly mix so 08 to got regulur grading in Mil- waukee amd Chleugo.
