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.

GREEN GETS ft BATH
Heney Moves to Drop All 14
Indictments Against Him.
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.

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.

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. Of druggists, or mailed on receipt of
