TRADE PROBE IS BEGUN New York Steel Manufacturer ;' Denies HaTing Associates in ; 2,500,000 Bushel Buy. ' WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 3, The Btory of a scries of speculative oper ations in wheat last winter and sprinfr : involving about 2,500,00 bushels was detailed to the federal trada commission - by , J. Leonard Replogle, Nw TOTk steel manufac turer. at the initial session today of the commission's senate-directed in tjuiry into grain priC9 fluctuations. Mr. Replogle agreed in response to questions put to him Dy Lnair man Murdock that his operations re sulted in a preliminary profit of mora than tlOO.OOO and in a later of about the same amount. He conceded that purchasers of millions cf bushels of wheat migrnt nave speculative effect on prices, driving toem up and down, but said that the speculator could not alter market prices countrary to supply and de mand, "permanently or profitably. Associates In Deal Denied. Mr. Eeplogle was asked if the "steel crowd" had not been involved in extensive speculation in wheat during the period of Its fluctuation and whether he was not one of the crnnn. "I had no associates," he asserted, "and I don't kriow a single steel man who went in. I was surprised at this commission's subpoena com insr to me. I thought you were after some of the big wheat fellows." "Well, who are these big wheat fellows you .. mention?" the witness was asked by Examiner Arnold. "I don't know," Mr. Eeplagle said. "Was Jesse . Livermore of New York or Mr. Patten of Chicago or Lowell Hoyt down there?" b was asked again by Mr. Arnold. "I didn't know it if they -were, Mr. Replogle said. Report Held Mnenifled. "Did all this golf playing bunch it Talm Beach go in and buy at the same time you did?" Mr. Murdock asked after Mr. Renlogle had tes tified that he had several million dollars "with his broker, which was enough to pay for all the wheat - rvnmhased." "Oh, no, lots of them thought it was a bad buy, that wheat would go down to 90," Mr. Replogle re plied. '"I don't know what any of them did about it. I found there was a, greatly magnified report of what J was doing later on up in New York and people said I had bought five . million bushels, but that transaction I have given you was my- largest, and at that it "was a small deal." Mr. Murdock asked why he got out of . the market and then got back in. ' ' More Witnesses Called. 'Well, I guess it was the Jew In me tha got me out I had a profit," Mr. Replogle returned, "but by the middle of May there was a report" in Now York, it was com mon gossip, that wheat was going higher and I went in again. It was all .' a question of price with me, I had no use for wheat. I bought It because I thought it was cheap and I could make a profit." "And you possibly might never have 'another transaction in wheat?" Commissioner Murdock in ter jecte'd. "Positively," - you ' might have said," Mr. Replogle retorted. The commission adjourned until October 6, when the examination of additional witnesses . will be conducted in New York. Among men summoned to appear at the Ivew York hearing are Julius H. Barnes and Jesse L. Livermore. CITY AFTER LIGHT PLANT Kosoburg to Vote on Taking Over Power Companies. ROSEBURG, Or., Oct. 3. (Special.) Roseburg- voters at the comingr election will pass upon a measure authorizing the city council to con demn the present light and water company supplying these utilities to the city and create a municipal plant, which it is proposed to sup ply with power from the California Ore'gon company's power line.

JIEDPOED, Or., Oct. S. (Special.) The firs gun in the legal battle arising over the Jackson county night-riding outrages, for which six indictments were returned by special grand jury, and 16 John- Doe true bills -have been held in abey ance, began in the circuit court at Jacksonville today before Circuit Judge Calkins. A motion to quash the indictments" and "make publio the grand jury notes argued, bit terly at times, and. at the conclusion, the court announced he would take tho matter under advisement. The state, represented by As sistant Attorney-General Liljqevist and Rawles Moore, district attorney. opposed the making public of the grand jury records on the grounds "that it would be against good pub-; lie policy," reveal vital information to John Does," ''causing an exo dus of citizens whom it would take the' sheriff a year to catch" and that the future work of the grand jury which convenes October 16 would be hampered and that the motion was "an 11th hour move that put the state at z. disadvantage. Plea for 'Overruling Made. District Attorney Moore in his plea for overruling of the motion declared he would be willing to go to jail before he would obey an order of the court to turn over the grand jury notes. Mr. Liljqevist declared "the Ku Klux Klan is not above the law, when men . who are members are suspected of being those who put on masks like burglars and go out upon the highways and byways as an organized mob." Rights Are Questioned. The defense in its contentions questioned the rights of the grand jury to investigate the Ku Klux Klan, Protestant organization, any more than they have the Methodist church. that something is wrong here. that the defense was handicapped by having to chase witnesses from Portland to Los Angeles, that the investigation was" against the klan and not the crimes charged, that law enforcing agencies from the sheriff to the department of justice had been used to seek evidence, that "A. E. Reames, private prose cutor; E. E. Kelley, democratic candidate for circuit judge, and Gus Newbury, attorney, all of Medford, had "been called in the guise of wit nesses but in fact had made pleas for indictments," and that rules of procedure for grand jury investi gations, as provided by the state law, had been violated.' The defense cited the appearance in the grand jury room for identification of Howard Hill, one of the defendants, by George A. Burr, negro, the vic tim of the Siskiyou summit necktie party. Arguments bn the demurrers filed will be submitted in writing, the time for the defense being Satur day next, and the state the follow ing Wednesday. , .-' siding here at the- hearing of the argument on a demurrer to the com plaint in the case of the State of Oregon against Louis Hodler and Delia Hodler of Portland, sustained the demurrer, and the attorneys for the state said they were not ready to announce whether or not they will appeal to th supreme court. The action was brought to set aside a decree of divorce granted by Judge Eakin January SO, 1915, to Delia Hodler against Louis Hodler on the ground that the decj-ee had been obtained by fraud. The com plaint averred that before the di vorce suit was filed the parties en tered into a stipulation whereby for a money consideration Louis Hodler did not aPpeaito contest the divorce action. In sustaining the demurrer Judge Belt said the issues in the case were entirely new and "he thought the points of law should be passed upon by the supreme court before the action is tried on its merits. LEASE IS HEHEWED O.-W. K, & X. CO, TO COXTIXVE " IX PKESEXT HOME. Contract for Space in AVells-Fargo Structure Runs for Another Year and Two Months. MILLS SH0RTV0F LABOR Coos Bay Lumber Industry Faces Trouble Procuring Workers. NORTH BEND, Or., Oct. 3. (Spe cial.) A shortage of labor on Coos bay has been noted for two or three months, in the logging camps, in the mills and in some other indus trial plants. During the summer the mills were obliged to raise the minimum pay from $3 to ?3.2o, but the shortage continued. The mills were very slow about announcing this 25-cent increase and some were paying it for several weeks before the fact was made public. ' It is believed on all sides that wages still must be higher if the plants are to have sufficient men to run them properly. Continued occupancy of the Wells Fargo building for another year and two months by the O.-W. R. & N. company was assured yesterday, when a lease was signed with the owners of the building extending until December 1, 1923. Reports that the railway company would move its headquarters offices "from its present location at Sixth and Oaky streets to a building1 of its own, to be built or purchased, have been current of late, based upon increased rental charged the rail road company. It is understood no definite plan for a change of quar ters has as yet been adopted by the company heads, who elected to re main in the offices so long occupied. The O.-W. R. & N. company of ficial and clerical forces moved to the Wells-Fargo building from the Worcester building, Third and Oalc streets, more than 15 years ago. At that time the company name was different, but the railroad was, gen erally speaking, the same as now, tne union iacinc coast extension, known then as the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company. There fol lowed the merging of the Harriman lines under one management and their subsequent divorce by order of the .government. The railroad company occupies 11 floors in the Wells-Fargo building and' the lease just signed covers exactly the same quarters as for merly' held. The Express Building company of San Francisco, owner of the Wells- Fargo building, has been consider ing for some time plans for the erection of a 12-story office build ing on the quarter block at the southeast corner of Broadway and Oak street, according to announce ment of K. Trapp, vice-president of the company. The proposed build ing would cost 51,000.000, Mr. Trapp said. The quarter block is owned by the Wemme Investment company and is occupied by a three-story brick buildrng. Details of the deal for erection of the building are still to be worked out, according to Mr. Trapp. DIVORCE DEMURRER UP Judge Passes Fraud Complaint to Supreme Court. ASTORIA, Or., Oct. 3.
