BULL LEADER AGAINST ALL
Campaign Shifts From May to July
Grain and Regal Battle for Su
premacy Will Bo Fought
i In Near Future.
.CHICAGO. April-' 15. Tumult and
fharply-shtftlng fortunes marked the day
In the wheat pit of the Board of Trade,
July "wheat, following an advance to a
new high level, suddenly dropped 4 cents.
The "pyramid" fortunes of small specu
lators vanished In a trice, and the devel
opments caused vigorous exertions by the
bull leader. , James A. Patten.
Within the last 15 minutes of trading
Mr. Patten bought 3,000,000 bushels of
wheat for July delivery.
"'Nothing but a flurry." he said, but
that was after the turbulent pit had been
deserted for the day.
Patten Is Busy Man.
Luring that final quarter of an hour
Pal ten was a busy man. Into the corri
dor of the building of which the Bartlett
Patten offices are to be found floated the
sound of high-pitched, nervous voices as
clerks at telephones sent buying orders to
others In the pit.
"Buy fifty. Buy a hundred. Buy
twenty-five."
These numbers referred to thousands of
bushels of wheat, and there were many
smaller ones so many, in fact, that not
11 of them were filled. It was a phys
ical Impossibility to do so.
Wheat King In Pit. .
Mr. Patten personally visited the floor
of the' exchange and directed his own
deals. It was Patten against the field,
and the final gong showed that Patten
apparently was as mighty as ever. His
purchases and those of Ms followers, to
gether with the profit-taking of shorts
who lost no time In securing the fruits
of their bearish daring, caused a reaction
of more than a cent all along the line.
Before this occurred the hoard of many
small speculators was gone. f
In hundreds of bakeries a different, al
though related 'scene was enacted. Flour
had risen, and bakers were trying to find
out where their profits were coming from
unless the prlceof bread could be raised.
The speculative day on the Board
opened without indications of the sensa
tion to come. May and July quickly rose
to a new high price, the former to
128. and the latter to 1.18. July's
price waa the highest since 1877, but
neither mark created sunusual comment.
Either one or the other of the options
mentioned has been doing the same thing
since the first of the month. There has
not been a trading day since then that
one or the other has not created a new
top price.
Campaign Xow on July.
Patten bought and sold, as usual, buy
ing July and selling May. He is said to
have sold 1,000,000 bushels of his May
holdings today, and to be practically out
of that option. His energies are now
centered largely In July.
"I have some May still," he said, "but
I am chiefly interested in July now. 1
am not paying much attention to the de
ferred futures. They are new crop
months."
It was 15 or 20 minutes before clos
ing time when the selling tornado hit
.me pit. btop loss orders came out 1
n
a deluge and the bears, stirred by
five-cent decline at .v'innlpeg, based,
was sad, on re-selling by exporters, a

Here the Patten purchases mad

the session found July at S1.15H3
1.15-,: May at ll.27Stri.27H. and Sep
tember at 1.06'.i.
In contrast to these nr1r thn..

first sale of wheat for 1iircr i. -km
or mis year was made here June 23, last,

nr not Is not of public record, but he was
among the earlier purchasers. Since then
the price has risen nearly 30 cents. This,
however, does nof serve to give a line on
the supposed profits of Mr. Patten and
hia associates. .No. estimates worth con
sidering can be made.
July Old Crop Month.
With flie May deal proper to all Intents
a thing of the past, a battle royal will be
waged In July. Mr. Patten, at the head
of an Influential firm, insists that July
will be an old crop month. That Is. flour
must be marie .from the harvest of last
year, instead of the new wheat usually
harvested in tne Winter wheat belt In
time for delivery on July contracts. Un

A committee is working- in Austrian
Poland to erect another statue at the

The Warsaw Theater has decided to
establish a Modjeska fund to further the
education of young actors. An effort Is
being made to collect money to bring
Modjeska's body to AVajsaw for burial,
and if this is permitted there will be a
public funeral.
There is some doubt, however, whether
the Russian authorities will permit tliist
as Modjeska was expelled from Russia
several years ago, when she wan about
to make a publlo appearance in this city.
If burial in Warsaw is not possible, the
body will be interred in Cracow, in Aus

mated that he was attempting to argue
the issue, he was not interrupted by

Mr. Jieneys statement contained lit
tle that has not previously, developed

graft prosecution. He promised- to
prove the passage of money to various
Supervisors through Abraham Ruef and

PROTECTION IS AFFORDED
Taft Recommends Passage at Spe

Payne Bill Island Deficit
Will Still Remain.
WASHINGTON. April 15. A new
tariff bill for the Philippine Islands,
prepared by a board of experts in the
Islands and approved by the" Philippine
Government and the War Department,
was submitted to both Houses of Con
gress today by President Taft with a
message recommending that It be
passed at the present session. Its pur
pose is to make the Philippine tariff
conform to the Payne tariff, to extend
the protective principle to the Islands
and to provide new revenue for the
Islands in place of that which will be
lost by free trr.de with the United
States. It was referred by the House
to the ways and means committee, and
by the Senate to the committee on
Philippines.
Great Aid to Exporters.
The. new bill will prove of
great value to American exporters. In
the opinion of George R. Colton, the
collector of customs in the Islands.
Features of the old Spanish and Cu
ban tariffs, which were vexatious and
annoying to both exporter , and im
porter, have been eliminated and every
effort has been put forth to make the
administrative features simple and In
conformity with the United States, tariff
decisions and the Interpretations of the
courts.
Under the existing tariff the prac
tice was to levy duty on the packing
as distinct from the merchandise en
closed and it provided a system of au
tomatic fines which led to all sorts of
dissatisfaction v and complaint from
American exporters and prompted il
legal practices. The German. Spanish.
English and French exporters were fa
miliar with the practices in vogue,
and this gave them a decided advant
age over American business men.
Protects American Products.
Adequate protection to the principal
products of the United States is given
bv. the, bill. Mr. Colton says, and to
bacco and sugar are treated as in the
House measure.
It is estimated that the revenues from
the bill will aggregate J7.000.000. as
against $8,500,000 under the present
law. The deficiency In the budget will
be made up-by an Increase in internal
revenue taxation. These schedules in the
tariff are consolidated and put under
362 paragraphs, as against 405. in the
old Spanish classifications.
Generally speaking, the changes from

Frauds in Sugar Company Spread
Ruin and Expose Grafting
Among Politicians.
TOKIO. April 16. A tremendous sen
sation developed here today with the ar
rest of nine members of the lower house
of the Diet, the nature of the charge
being withheld. It is believed, however,
that bribery In connection with the re
cent difficulties of the Japaaesc Sugar
Company Is alleged, and there is great
unrest in the capital, as It Is stated that
some members of the upper house are
liable to arrest also.
A few weeks ago charges of fraud
were brought against certain of tho -directors
of the sugar company, which is
a big concern capitalized at 12.000.noo.
The. directors resigned and an inves
tigation followed. A series of ques
tionable transactions was disclosed and
the stock dropped from 50 to BO points
as a result, a liwge number of people,
including many foreigners, meeting
financial ruin in the slump. The affair
started an outcry, which resulted in the
prosecution of the directors involved.
These men were all high in commer
cial and political circles.
When the 9 members of the lower house
were taken Into custody today. the
charges were not made public, but, owing
to the connection of the defendant di
rectors with politics", it is generally be
lieved that the investigation of the
sugar company resulted in the 'exposure
of bribery in the Diet.
The members arrested all belong to
the Seiyu-Kai. the predominant party
in both houses of the Diet.
