WTH GREAT RUSH PATTEN'S HUGE CONTRACT Takes Delivery of Vast Quantity of i Corn and Oats AVith Kasy Grace Record Day for Deliveries. CHICAGO. III., May 1. (Special.) May wheat presented a spectacular perform ance to the gTaln trade today and prob ably sanjr Its swan scngr insofar as popu lar Interest is concerned. The fierce up ward rush of 4 cents forced many shorts to cover, the rest will . probably be stampeded tomorrow by the fierce margin calls that went out tonight, and it is not at all unlikely that May wheat may soon score a backset as sudden and extensive as its last advance. Today's bulge carried the price above that current In Liverpool, where red "Winter closed today at equal to $1.031i and May wheat closed at the equivalent cf 1.W4 per bushel. The top price here was $1.04. The closing price of $1.03 was 5 cents higher than the close at St. Louis, which means, of course, that this market will be shut out of the mill ing trade until this discount is narrowed materially. Armour Master of Situation. J. Ogden Armour, whip in hand and complete master of the situation, made the bears step about In lively manner In the pit today, while wheat shot up in sensational leaps. The shorts had not been able to scratch together much over 300,000 bushels of the cereal to deliver to Hay contracts, although Armour's hold ings called for several times that amount. There was nothing for the bears, who did not have any wheat to deliver, to do but to go into the pit and cover their short sales. This proved a difficult task, because there were scarce ly any offerings to be had. Patten Takes Immense Load. While wheat was making Its upward flight James A. Patten, widely known in grain circles as the "corn and oats spe cialist," kept his weather eye on the markets, to which he is giving his par ticular attention. On deliveries before the opening Mr. Patten was "handed." according to careful estimate, 6,000,000 bushels of oats and 3.000,000 bushels of corn. Brokers declared It would be a herculean task to finance and merchant lze this enormous quantity of grain, but the big speculator accepted his respon sibility with easy grace. ArmmfV Ownft It All ' Brokers who are supposed to know say that Mr. Armour, -now owns practically ell the contract wheat In store in Chi cago, while the Patten crowd is In pos session of corn and oats. The reports Issued by the state inspection department showed stocks in public elevators as fol lows: . Wheat, 3.924,930 bushels; corn, 3,165,870 bushels; oats. 6.519,500 bushels. Deliveries of actual grain and provis ions on May contracts today were in the aggregate the largest ever reported in a day on the Chicago Board of Trade. One of the surprising developments was the delivery of 10.000,000 pounds of ribs, which includes $.800,000 pounds delivered by Mr. Armour to the North American Pro vision Company in one lot late yester day. There were also about 6000 barrels of pork and 7000 tierces of lard delivered. The big deliveries on the board this morning were followed by a scramble for boats in which to ship the grain East.

SHOWS HIS VISIBLE RELIEF Announces He Is Perfectly Willing to Testify Against Ruer Defense Greatly Surprised at Move. Cope Testifies on Stand. ' SAN FRANCISCO, May 1. The prose cution sprung its first surprise in the case of Abraham Ruef, when Assistant District Attorney Heney, late this after noon, moved the dismissal of 14 indict ments against J. E. Green, president of the Parkside Realty Company, a co defendant of Ruef in the case now being tried, in order that Green might testify against the former political boss. Green had been called to the stand by the pro secution, despite the objection of his at torneys. Judge roolin directed that he be sworn, and after some preliminary questions, the Assistant District Attorney asked what steps he had taken to get the committee of the Board of Super visors, which had held up a franchise, to take some action. ' Heney Slakes the Motion. Green, upon advice of his counsel, re fused to answer, and started to read a statement setting forth his reasons. Heney objected to the reading of the statement, which was sustained by the court, and Green then, upon advice of counsel, refused to answer upon the ground that he would be testifying against himself. "Then, on behalf of the people, I move that al! the Indictments against the wit ness, 14 in number, be dismissed, that he may give his testimony In this case, said the Assistant District Attorney, ris ing to his feet. This unexpected move on the part of the prosecution came as a surprise to the defense, and created something of a sensation In the crowded courtroom. A whispered consultation between Ruef and his atterneys quickly -followed. Coun sel for the defendant strongly objected to the move of the prosecution on the groupd that such an . application could only be made upon a joint trial of the co-defendants. Green Shows HI? Relief. Judge Dooling overruled the objection of the defense, dismissed the indictments against the witness, and ordered his dis charge therefrom. Green visibly showed his relief and pleasure at the sudden turn of proceedings, and acknowledged his willingness to testify. At this point an adjournment was taken until Mon day. Walter B. Cope, president of the San Francisco Bar Association, testified against Ruef this morning. He is a mem ber of the firm of attorneys for the Park side Realty Company, in which he also was a stockholder, and told of Ruef's demand for a fee of $40,000 or $30,000 if employed by the company to get the desired trolley franchise through the Board of Supervisors. He also told of Ruef's assertion that although Mayor Schmitz was favorable to the franchise he could not secure it without Ruef's co-operation. TWO ORDERED TO OREGON Decision on Requisition for Accused ,IiOS Angeles Landgrabbers. LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 1. By a de cision rendered by Commissioner William M. Vandyke, in the United States Dis trict Court today, three of the defendants who resisted removal to Oregon on a charge of complicity in the land frauds Involving the Pacific Furniture & Lumber Company were held to be guilty of no offense that would warrant their removal for trial.

CHURCHILL WILL CONTEST Unseated Member Will Try to Obtain Vacant Seat. DUNDEE! May 1. Winston Spacer Churchill, president of the . Boara of Trade, whose recent failure to be re turned to Parliament from the North western Division of Manchester has forced him to seek a "safe" seat, arrived here this morning to contest the vacancy caused by the elevation to the peerage of Edmund Robertson. Mr. Churchill has a well-organized opposition to fight, but it will require an enormous turn-over of votes to defeat him. The Unionist can didate. Sir George Baxter, has a powerful local influence, and the labor candidate, C. H. Stuart, while a novelty in this coun try. Is an out-and-out prohibitionist. B. Scrymgour, of the United Irish League, is urging the Irish voters to give their complete support to Mr. Churchill on the ground that Premier Asquith has adopted Mr. Churchill's pledges at Manchester re garding home rule for Ireland as repre senting the policy of the government.

May 6. by Millard O. Lownsdale, the famous baritone linger, for the sole benefit of food's Sarsaparilla Here is Another of the FORTY THOUSAND TESTIMONIALS Seceived in two years. It is an interesting statement of facta and shows how important Hood's Sarsaparilla is in the home as a reliable family medicine. "Oars is a New England farmer's home, and as we are twenty miles from a large town, we are obliged to depend very largely upon the famDy medicines we keep on hand all the time. "First and Foremost among them is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which' we have always found a true friend and helper. My first use of it was when, after a long period of medical attendance, I had failed to receive any relief from my dyspepsia. "I Suffered Dreadfully, could not eat heartily without distress, and was obliged to be very careful in selecting my food. I do not know of any greater misery that one can suffer than the continual distress, or fear of it, which haunts - "Dyspepsia's Victim day and night The first bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla gave me positive help, and when I had used four bottles I was in better health than for many years. I have found it "A Great Spring Medicine to build one up when strength is most . needed, to create an appetite, and in short to regulate the whole system. I have lately been taking Sarsatabs, which I find very con venient in form, and very easy to take, and also very beneficial." Mrs. E. L. Berry, West Troy, Me., March' 7, 1908. Under the Pure Food and Drags Act, no change was necessary in Hood's Sarsaparilla to conform to the law or to public sentiment. It is perfectly safe, pure, genuine and reliable. . rCTlfnhc are making new friends daily. While last year WCI OdldKJo sales were doubling, this year they are trebling. Sarsatabs are so handy enable you to carry Hood's Sarsaparilla in . your vest pocket. They are chocolate-coated tablets prepared from Hood's Sarsaparilla itself by distillation and evaporation, and have the same curative properties.
