TENANTS FIGHT
LANDLORDS IN
CHICAGO COURT
Chiracs Trlhunn-rimaha R mA xri
City Hall Besieged and Riots
Staged' in Corridors
Judges Issue Call
For Help.
Chicago, May 11 More than 1,000
men, women and children stormed
the corridors of the eighth and ninth
floors of the city hall Monday to
engage in the legal battle between
landlords and tenants. There were
numerous incipient riots and one ex
cited women chewed the hand of a
bailiff when he sought to calm her.
So great became the drive and the
heat and excitement that the two
judges assigned to the eviction cases
threw up their hands and yelled for
help. Two other jufiges were rushed
over,, and still later an additional
pair was sent in to help expedite
affairs. In Judge Heap's court alone,
more than 300 cases were set for
trial. All he could do was to enter
judgment on agreements and turn
the contested cases over to the re
lief battery of jurists '
Frequently a small army of re
bellious tenants would come upon
their landlord and his attorneys and
agents and this was invariably a
'signal for battle in which the bail
iffs had much difficulty prying the
belligerents apart.
Throughout all of it, however, it
was apparent the tenants were fight
ing a losing battle. In almost every
case it was found the landlord had
conformed with the law and was
entitled to his premises. About the
only point gained by the tenants
was an extension of time. In nearly
eveTy case they were given 10 to
15 -days in which to find new quar
,. .ters,. ..Nearly all the tenants are de
manding jury trials and if these arc
granted it means many months will
le consumed and the costs to the
city will run to appalling figures.

Pretty Blonde Talks
Self Into Fine With
, Too Voluble Pleading
Too much pleading with Judge
Fitzgerald in South Side police
court secured a $50 fine for Georgie
Thomas, petite blonde, yesterday,
when she faced the court on charges
of flirting on the street.
Georgie, who lives at 1121 South
Thirteenth street, pleaded with the
judge for more than a half hour,
promising to return to her parents
in Dcs Moines if he would just let
her off, but when the court was
about to discharge her and found
that he couldn't get a word in edge
wise because of her lamentations,
changed his decision.
This marks the first arrest made
since the opening of the campaign
of Omaha police against male and
female vampires on the streets of
the city.
Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha. Bee Leaned Wire.
Chicago, May 11. Long corn
came out more freely on bulges than
of late, but in the face of free selling
May gained fic and July Jc while
September lost only He. Oats were
effected by the wet and colder
weather over the belt and . a report
that 500,000 bushels of Canadian
were now. afloat on the lakes for
Chicago, and finished Jilc lower.
Rye was under pressure from longs
and lost JiOc, while barley was
off ?4c. . ,
All deliveries of corn, rye and
May and Julv oats sold at new high
figures on 1' - crop during the day.
A small buige early was followed
by a sharp break on prospects of an
increase in receipts The Sr. . Paul
railroad has issued a preferential or
der whereby country elevators will
have first chance at cars fit for load
ing grain from May 10 to 20, inclu
sive. It is expected that the Illinois
Central will take like steps.
July Corn I'neven.
The local element became oversold on
the,-decline and found offerings light on
the way up. Corn jumped from $1.74 again
$1,704 and then drowned to $1.74 airaln
on heavy commission Rouse selling; part
of which was attributed to profittaking
by longs. When pressure ceased, how
ever, the market rallied sharply. J
sentiment is somewhat more divided
than of late. The action of the market
has incn osed the cqnfldence of the bulls
who believe that car orders will disclose
the fact that there Is only-a small amount
of equipment that can- be used for grain.
uulgea in oats were shortlived, as com
mission houses were free sellers. Around
77c for September, a house with seaboard
connections was a good buyer. Eastern
cash demand slow with sales of. 28.000
bushels oats. Cash corn was unchanged
to Sc. higher with No. 2 and No. 3 yellow
up to $2.10.
Barley was unchanged with spot sales
at $1.661.88.
The highest prices of tne season were
Daid for wheat at the gulf. June. July
and August shipment belnfj $3.27 bid, with
some sold for August shipment at tnai
figure, while the British commission was
reported to have -paid $3.31 f. o. h, At

than any other class of fed stock and
good grades sold readily at prices strong
to a quarter higher. Beat clipped reached
$18.26 with other sales reported at $17.90
18.00. No wooled lambs were received
and fat sheep were also very scarce. A
few broken fleeced ewes moved at $13.25.
The California springers were none too
active around $20.00. Practically no feed

New York Coffee.
New York. May 11. The market for
coffee futures was easier today under
rballzlng by recent buyers' and selling by
brokers supposed to be operating for local
Importers or Brazilian Interests. The
slightly easier tone df the Rio market
with the weakness of the stock market
and absence of any important spot de
mand were laciors in tne decline and
there was some selllne- hv hoiiMOR with
European connections, which also had a
sentimental influence. The opening was
7 to 9 points lower and active months
sold 15 to 38 points below last night's
closing figures, with July touching 15 01c

scarce, rising to 10 per cent after
standing loans had been renewed ?t
7 per cent. Accompanying the ad
vance jof the market money was
much in discussion in banking cir
cles, owing to the persistence of
tight credit in the interior which
continues to force contraction of
lines of accommodation extended to
merchants and manufacturers. The
slowness with which railroad trans
portation is improving is a factor
militating against the release of
funds tied uo in goods and farm
products and thus far has lent point
to bearish argument that the banks
are not likely to be in a position to
permit much new borrowing for
some time to come.
Rail Shares I'neven.
Steel and petroleum shares advanced
listlessly at the opening, but quickly lost
the early advantage when the pressure of
short sales began. The final rally was
enough to prevent many net declines of
1 to 3 points among the Industrials, with
tho railroad group displaying an uneven
front In final prices. The volume of busi
ness was comparable with the preceding
sessions of the last week.
While credit refuses to grow easier, It
i clear that Investment money Is not
lacking for sound securities offering a
return of 7 per cent or more. The quick
sale todav of $25,000,000 equipment trust
certificates of the Pattric Fruit company,
guaranteed by the Southern and Union
Pacific companies, proclaimed both the
presence of a broad demand for good rail
road paper .and the belief of railroad
bankers that the time has past for meas
uring interest rates by pre-war standards.
Today $4,600,000 Northern Pacific 7 per
cent equipment notes are to be offered
at par and other leading railroad cor
porations are known to be figuring on Is
sues for the near future.
The large output.-, of- prime railroad
notes and short bonds placed in the last
two months have come from borrowers of
recognized high credit and the market
has not received a test from offerings of
paper by less favored companies. In bank
ing opinion, as presented last week be
fore the senate interstate commerce com
mittee, current flnlncing- is following the
most practical line, which has for its pur
pose the support of the major systems of
roads by the prlvtte investor while the
government is being urged to help the so
called "weaker" companies.
. jankers maintain that railroad needs
are so serious, ' wMh present congestion
and expected difficulties in next autumn's
crop-moving period to contemplate, that
funds' for equipment, additions and im
provements, must be raised with the ut
most speed. It Is felt in banking circles
that mly through the co-operation of the
government, assisting the roads of lower
credit, with a call uponv Investors, ran the
primary transportation medium be
strengthened in the next few months in
a fashion- to prevent a severe handicap,
upon Industry and commerce during the
coming autumn and winter when traffic
lg heaviest.
' Foreign exchange .' rates ' favored Eu
ropean' countries in today's transactions.
Marks advanced . above 2o each, to a
point double the rate in the first week
of the year. Cabled messages to exchange
dealers told of active bidding for Ger
man exchange in London.
