During ce which ensued, York State poli- io This statement wi in and alrcady had declared ! eif to be a supporter of Mr. Roosevelt | for the Presiden mination 1004 and ed the o ion , that, barring ngenices, the be ed to succeed himseif. It was in this connection that he made the state- h is quoted at the beginning of ident would r. Roosevelt that per- fect harmony existed among the leaders and in the rank and file of the Republican party in New York and that without doubt the entire Republican ticket would | be elected this fall. The story that Governor Odell might | retire from politics to accept a handsome business offer was adverted to, but mere- | ly in the form of a denial of its authen- | ticity. Governor Odell has had, it is un- derstood, several offers during the past year or two to go into business in a way particularly advantageous to him, but ail of them have been rejected. He is a can- didate for re-election-and will be nomi- nated in September, it is confidently stated by Senator Platt. | Shortly after 3 o'clock Senator Platt, leaning on the arm of Colonel Dunn, .de- scended the steep flight of steps to the J. West -Roosevelt landing to take the launch for the Sylph. As to his confer with Mr. Roosevelt, the Senator said e did not discuss local appointments ith the President.

Trade { plication for the writ | head by Platt W, v | Mercy of Manipulators Who Are | Ruining the Legitimate | Grain Trade. CHICAGO, July 30.—The ban of the | courts has been placed on the corner in ! July oats. On the application of Waite, { Thoburn & Co., one of the firms heav- | i1y short in the July option, a temporary | réstraining order was granted by Judge Chytraus in the Superior Court, prohibii- ing James A. Patten and associates from continuing a corner in July oats and from bidding up the price of the cereal or calling for further margins, This is the first time in the history of the Chicago Board of Trade that dealers who are short have resorted to the courts to a. sist them in a dilemma like the present, and the injunction came as a decided sur- | prise, although drastic measures had been’ threatened to prevent heavy loss. The injunction runs against Carrington, | Patten & Co.; Patten Bros. and Bartlett, Frazier & Co. Default on 3,000,000 bush- els of short new July oats, lawsuits and | action by the Board of Trade are seem- | ingly the inevitable resuits of the grant- ing of the restraining order. Unable to secure new July oats' wherewjth to meet their contracts, the dealers who are short appear to have practically thrown up their hands. “We have nothing left to do but to de- fault,” sald one of the unfortunates to- day. ‘“Those in control of the.corner will not sell, but tell us to go into the pit and buy. If we should do that the prices would go up into the clouds. A dollar a bushel could easily be exacted, as the receipts of standard new oats will not fill our_contracts.” ‘Waite, Thoburn & Co., the firm that | requested the injunction, issued the fol- lowing statement fo-night in explanation of the course they have taken: For 2 year or two there has been a regular epldemic of manipulation and attempted cor- ners in the market on the Chicago Board of Trade which have inflicted immense injury on the legitimate grain interests of this city and to Chicago. These attempts to squeeze the trade have now been 50 extreme and so unscrupulous that it has become high time for some one to make a fight and find out where the trade stands and whether it is to be for all time posstble for groups of millionaires to turn upside down the grain business of the country and inflict heavy losses on the trade. We have decided to make a test and find out where the trade stands. Frank P. Frazier of Bartlett, Frazler & Co. was inclined to treat_lightly the unprecedented court action. He said: There is an erroneous opinion current that Mr. Patten and myself, who each has a fair have been bldding up the mar- ket with the intention of squeezing the shorts. This is not the case at all. The shorts in every instance of high prices have themselves to blame for putting the price up. We are simply waiting for the delivery of oats we have | contracted for and we expect their- delivery. Recourse to the courts to abrogate a bona fide contract 'of this kind is unheard of. It is fmpossible to forecast the effect of the in- junction. Three million bushels is said to be the shortage Wi July oats. The greater part of the same amount was sold, it is said, to those in control of the market at be- tween 32 and 35 cents, €0 that there is more than 25 cents a bushel profit in the { deal for those on the long side. Instead of the market collapsing as a | result of the adoption of a d45-cent. mar- price yesterday by the Board of directors, July oats advanced 3 cents to-day and closed at 63 cents. Indications were that the partles in control of the market had become in- dignant at the move of their opponents and intended making the bears settle all obligations in the pit. ginal 2 e o GOVERNOR ASKS SUPREME CO Continued From Page One. sedeas with the Clerk of the Supreme Court and the fees were not paid.

Judge Fritz stated that he did not de- sire to act with undue haste, consider- ing that the Supreme Court had before it an application for a_writ based on an appeal from Judge Sloss’ decision in dismissing the writ of prohibition. After a slight discussion between the court and counsel for both sides it was decided to postpone the hearing of evi- dence until to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. Court Asked for Bench Warrants. Attorney Campbell requested Judge Fritz to have all the witnesses called and sworn. The bailiff was ordered to call the names of those witnesses who had been served with subpenas. Those who failed to answer to their names were Francis Foley, H. C. McClure, J. Pullen, W. F. Byrne, James Russell, J. A. Aguirre, Victor Gilardin, Joseph Edgar, George McDougall, J. F. Hunter, Dr, P. F. Casey and H. A. Emslie. Attorney Campbell then asked that bench warrants be issued for the ar- rest of A. J. Aguirre, H. C. McClure, W. F. Byrne, Francis Foley and George McDougall, all of whom are officials of San Quentin prison. The court was in- formed by Attorney Campbell that the rest of the witnesses from San Quentin prison who had not answered subpenas had agreed to come to court if tele- phoned for, owing to their duties as guard officers. The understudy for A. A. Moore. the railroad attorney, begged Judge Fritz not ‘to issue the bench warrants. He assured the court that it would be im- possible for the officials of San Quentin prison who had been subpenaed to leave the institution and neglect their duties. The understudy forgot for the time being that Governor Gage had no scruples in instituting -his suit so that the court at San Pedro would be forced to compel the attendance of all X of the officials of San Quentin prison at the hearing he desires 500 miles from the scene of their duties. Judge Fritz finally decided that he would wait an hour in order to give the officials from San Quentin prison an opportunity to escape punishment for contempt of court by putting in an ap- pearance. Warden Aguirre, C, Pretzel and J. A. Edgar were then called before Judge Fritz, sworn and notified to be in court to-morrow morning, to which time the case was-adjourned. Aguirre Explains to Judge Fritz. During the arguments of the attor- neys as to the issuance of bench war- rants for the witnesses who had failed to answer subpenas, Warden Aguirre tried to address the court, but was not allowed to do so. The understudy ex- plained for Aguirre that the latter had never treated the order of the court with disrespect and that he would be in attendance when required. After court had adjourned Aguirre called on’Judge Fritz and stated that all the officials of San uentin prison whose presence is desired in * court will be there if .requested by tele- phone to come to the city. . Aguirre explained that it would be impossible for all the officials to attend court at the same time, but that they can come over as required and Aguirre pledged his -word that they will do so. "With this understanding Judge Fritz announced that he would not issue the bench warrants that had been asked for. ——————— McKevitt Wants Nomination.

TUBE LINE FIGHT FAILS FOR MORGAN Speyer- Yerkes Syndi- cite Wins a Victory in’ London. Rumor of a Secret Combina- ticn on Railfays Is Denied. Committee of the Commons Informed That the Corporation Can Supply Four Hundred Million Pounds for Underground System. Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, July 30.—In the battle of the tubes the Spever-Yerkes syndicate gained | 2 distinct advantage over Morgan to-day | by practically securing the fipal. author- | ization needed to complete its system of | underground railways. The bill providing for the extension of the Brompton and Piccadilly tube after six | days’ consideration by the Commons com- | mittee reached a stage where the pream- | hle was aproved and the examination of clauses began. This is almost equivalent to approval of the entire bill. The Bromp- ton-Piccadilly directors also received an extension of two years’ time for the con- | demnation of property along the line of the road. A decidedly favorable impression was made on the committee by Speyer,-the senior partner of Speyer Brothers, who stated that he and his assoclates were | ready to find the money necessary to equip and build the four lines included in the syndicate’s scheme, estimated at £400,000,000. ‘There has been considerable talk of the eventual coming together of the Morgan and Yerkes groyps, and that the present fight between the two groups is only a bluff. According to Balfour Brown, K. C., who appeared for the former, how- ever, there is no thought of consolidation. ‘ine Morgan party, he announced em- phatically, was positively opposed to the Yerkes schemes and would fight to the . If his people secured an authoriza- tion to build their lines, which traverse the same territory as the Yerkes system, there would be active competition. Owing to the short time now available hefore the Commons rises on August 8, Mr. Brown said he would not ask for consideration of the London-United States raliway bill for the proposed Morgan tube until October. This means a further ad- vantage in time for the Speyer-Yerkes syndicate. RAILROAD PROPERTIES MAY SOON BE MERGED NEW YORK, July 30.—Another step in the grouping of the railroad properties of the country has been practically complet- ed and the financial world is now momen- tarily expecting an official statement trom the directors of the St. Louis and Ban Francisco Railroad that they have acquired control of the Chicago and East- ern Illinois, a property having a track- age of over 700 miles. Definite statements were made in Wall street this afternoon by Interests identifiled with both railroads that the purchase had been arranged and that lawyers had to complete certain de- tails before an officlal announcement could be given out. ‘While Wall street took it for granted that the deal was completed, far greater interest was aroused in the statement that the Illinois Central would ultimately turr up as either owner or lessee of the 8t. Louis and San Francisco, commonly known as the *“Frisco,” and through its ownership of that property the Chicago and Eastern Illinois would thus be ac- quired. The greatest secrecy was main- tzined by the officials of all the companies in regard to their plans, but the strength of the stocks of each company, including shares of Illinois, was pointed out as in- dicating better than anything else what was being done on the national railroad checkerboard. In well informed banking sources the intimation was quietly given that the Illinois Central would either be- | come part of the “Frisco” road as a re- sult of the present deal, or as a compro- | mise it would lease that property as a | counter move against the aggressions of | the Morgan roads in the South. | ADVERTISEMENTS. ) Er WATERY EYES _And all annoying symptoms of HAY FEVER Instantly relleved.
