this morning modified his injunction Is
sued yesterday to prevent . Patten and
others from manipulating a "corner" In
oats on the Board of Trade.

fendants from asking the Board of Trade
or its President for $100,000 of margin
checks which the Patten crowd expected
to receive today. An Injunction restrain'
ir.g the Board of Trade from transferring

oats ad lib. It was expected the court's
action would cause a demoralisation of
the Board this morning buf the deal, so
far as prices were concerned, went on as
before. July oats went up from 63 to 65

'I am partial to these companies, con

Inspected meat eoats no more than un
inspected, although . the very assurance

Inspection and the Jewish rabbis that the
meat came from animals in a perfect

Much Speaking
Capt. F. O. Johnson, who Is one of the
officers who came in last night from San
Francisco with Troops A, B, C, and D of
the First Squadron of the Third United
States Cavalry,- Is quite different from
some of the officer Who have recently
returned from the Philippines. He
knows how to keep mum, with a big M.
When he was asked by The Journal this
morning as to whether the war in the
Islands was really over, and as to re
sources and commercial prospects, he
said:
"Now, really, you must excuse me for
not desiring to talk on any questions of
that sort Recently a United States offi
cer who returned from the Philippines,
talked too much with his mouth to a San
Francisco reporter. The matter was tak
en up at Washington, and he was called
down very hard by the War Department.
We canont, whlla.n the service, . afford
to have any opinions. This same man
also got thoroughly 'roasted' by the San
Francisco papers afterwards, so under
these circumstances, talk to newspapers
Is dangerous.
"I am not a commercial man, so can
give no idea on the resources of the
islands. There is plenty - of gold, hemp,
tobacco, as well as valuable timber (here.
One thing I know, and that is the islands
may be a good place to go to, but I am
not anxious to go back there."
