SCRAMBLE IN THE GRAIN PITS.
May Wheat Has Ffraipht Climb
of Three Cents in Chir.ipo.
REPUBLIC FPrU'.I.
Chicago. III. Aig 13 Not since the re
cent excitement In wheat began was there
more of a surprise for the trade than to
dav. Every effort had been made by the
leaders to calm the feelings of former
excited bujers. All houses advised custo
mers to get out of holdings ai.d go slow.
There was bar feeling In the air.
But all bear efforts were like attempts
to dam the natural course, of a stream.
Every time the trade calls a halt the mar
ket gathers force and breaks anas again.
September wheat sold at J1.W-. under
bear prnuaUoa at the opening. It sold
at $1.03. with bull eicltement Ju3t before
the close. The 31ay price, which repre
sents more decidedly the outcome of the
Northwest crop, sold at Jl.OI'r. and had a
straight climb of Z c:nts to tl.Oi' at the
last.
Internecine strife in r'hich the Worlds
Fair minagement has t.en Implicated as
a third pirlv. ban b-oken out In tic Jap
ares,, rolinj at the World's Fair And the
whole merry war rvolve about the
Geisha nrd tea glrh t the Fair.
The principals to the dispute sre the
concessionaire-! f yaT japan, on the
Pike partv of the first rart, and the Im
perial Jspane-se fo:nmis,ion to the World s
Fair. part of the second part. Roth sides
hive appealed lo the Exposition nnnase
mem as the party of the third part.
The casus belli, which promises to bring
on lnternatloi al complications, arises
over the presence of Jspanese tea girls In
the tea pivillonH on the Japanese reser
vation The Pike concession makes the
demand of the Exposition management
that th'.se girls be deported from the Fair
grounds and that a strict poltcv of ex
clusion be maintained toward anv Japa
ne girls except those having their' habi
tat on the Pike
This demand is made on the ground that
under Its contract with the Exposition
management the Fair Japanese concession
ha the scle and exclusive right to employ
.lnpanee tea or Geisha girls on the entire
Exposition site The managers are stand
ing on this exclusive right, and wish the
Exposition to support them
The officials of the Exposition according
lo the statement of an official ot the
Japanese Commission, are supporting the
eoncosIon, a a request has been made of
the commission by the Exposition man
agement that thev withdraw the sixteen
native girls who are now serving tea In
the two teahouses on the reservation of
the Japanese Government at the Fair.
DOES NOT FLAN TO TIELD.
The commission, however, does not pro
pose to accede to this rnquest without
making a fight. Tetterda's long com
munication was forwarded bv Commis
sioner General Eellchl Tegtma to President
Francis. In which a vigorous protest was
made Rgalnst the request.
Secrctnrv Stevens yesterdav admitted
that b communication had been received
from .Mr Teglma. addressed to President
Francis, but stated that he did not know
it contents
He professed Ignorance of the dispute
between the Fair Japan concession and
the Japanese Commission, also as to
w hither thn Exposition had requested the
commission to withdraw Its Japanese
glrl
When asked If the Exposition In the
event ot a refusal from the commission
to accede to such a request could force
them to do so, he replied that that raised
an interesting question, which he ws not
prepared to answer.
Director of Concessions Gregg answered
all questions relntlve to the matter wl'h
the statement that It would net be right
for him to sav anything about the mat
ter One of the Japanese Commissioners,
however stated the contention of the
commission In the case. He siid: "When
we were Invited lo participate and je.
cepltti. we requested that the Etpcsitinn
management notifv ns when anv Janan
ee show or concession nt the Fa'r nas
contemplated or to be let. We were a'so
given to understand that th itall of our
participation in the Fair would be lelt to
our e'ommlsioner General
"We were neve- notified of the letting
of the Fair Japan concession, and conse.
quenth went ahead to arrange to shox
as a part of our national life, ard for the
exploitation nf our great tia Indust'lc".
two typical Jspanese teahouses Gieat
care was taken in the selection of girls
to serve tea to obtain onlv the most re
spectable and leflned girls, and most of
them are the daughters of educated and
respectable parents. Thev are not Geisha
girls Our tea girls are necessarj to our
tvplcal Jnparese teahouse", as In Japan
only women are emplosed to serve tea."
INJUNCTION STANDS
AGAINST MINERS.
aiirinarflelit Court Declares Tetter
Can Conduct Zelarler Mines
s Ue Pleases.
KFTUnl.tO KPrJCIAL
Springfield, 111 . Aug 15 "Not only will
the injunction Issued against the United
Mine Workers of Illinois and some GOO in
dividual members of the organisation
stand, but. If necessary to preserve peace
and order at Zelgler, It will be strength
ened " W ith these words Judge J. Otis
Humphrey to-day overruled the motion
lo dissolve the Injuctlon which was is
sued seversl das ago to restrain the
miners and their organization from Inter
fering with the operation of the Letter
mines at Zelgler.
Judge Humphrey's decision was handed
down orally and overruled every conten
tion advanced by the counsel for the
miners.
"This restralnlrg order has been made
plain and clear in its terms," he declared.
' Tho man who wants to work must he
permitted to do so. The people v.ho own
this property must be permitted to control
It. The men v.ho operate this coal mine
must be permitted to say what disposition
thev will make of its products This is the
supreme law of the land, and any ether
ccntertlon Is nonsen.se."
The court declined to Issue an Injunction
restraining the mining company from Im
porting laborers, saving the remedy for
such an offense Is the Infliction of fines
In the court.
He told the miners, however, that they
might tile their bill, and the matter will
be set for hearing

good organization, stands out Judge Par
ker's own personality.
"When he comes to St. l.oui. which I

the opinion of those who may feel Irchned
to oppose him
"Intelligent labor leaders of the East,

"No more ctact opposite to Roosevelt's

' He reminds one of what he has read of
the statesmen of a hundred jears ago. who
did not find it necessary to be vehement
in order to be firm, who found emphasis
In plain, clear words rather than In wild
gesticulation and demagog'c rhetoric.
"If the people of the United States could
have stood on the hillside as did the Noti

earnest words spoken by a sincere man,
and followed clcsclv his logic, they would
have received an Inspiration which would
result In sweeping Roosevelt sensational
