JAMES A. PATTON'S
CORNER ON OATS
HIS PROFITS SAID TO BE ABOUT ONE
MILLION DOLLARs-HE HAS
=. BEEN AT IT FOR A YEAR.
[BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

-
Chicago, May 3I.-James A. Patton
mayor OF Evanston, a prominent board OF
trade operator, today brought to sue
cessful close the corner in May oats which
has dominated the oat market since early
last fall.
The profits credited to Mr.. Patton on
the deal are estimated at $1,000, 900.
About the time prices in corn began to
mount skywards last year, on account OF
the crop shortage, it was learned that some
one was taking in all the May oats offered
ON the Chicago market and elsewhere.
Prices began to advance steadily, and
1t was known that Mr.. Patton was irving
to work corner.
On the big furry on the Chicago board
last December, May oats were pushed to
47Kc. Since that time reactions occurred
and when delivery day came this month
many spectators thought the bottom had
fallen out OF the corner. It was said Mr.
Patton had 100000 to II, 900 900 bushels
of the May option.
Everything that was offered to him in
deliveries he took, and in turn sold prac-
tically all the contract stocks to shippers
at good inducements.
This left nothing for the shorts to ac-
quire' and prices accordingly were pushed
day.
May oats closed yesterday at 4,Mc. To-
days prices were jumped about cents
and closed at 4oAc.
lhere was little furry of excitement
AT the close, but the corner did not affect
the other options

Italian Freemasons.

"As the French Masons cut themselves off from communion with English and American Masons, by eliminating the name of God from their ritual, so are the Italian Masons about to break away from the English speaking craft by lift iEg the veil of secrecy from the esoteric work" said a Birmingham past master yesterday.
 "One of the charms of Freemasonry has been its mystery. Changing the in- stitution from a secret society into public society is certainly very radical and will be deplored Fortunately for our mysteries the Italian work is wholly different from that practiced in America
 "The Italian Masons are very political and in religion extremely agnostic. They are agitators against conservative insti- tutions snd perhaps it is just as well that we cut loose from them. As a rule the Latins who join the Masons do so with a view to breaking down the old order of things. They are freethinkers who have little regard for our ancient land marks"

Excitement at Basketball.

"The announcement that Chattanooga is to play Birmingham two championship basket ball games at the Athletic Club Thursday and Friday" said President Solon Jacobs of the Birmingham Athletic Club yesterday, reminds me of the nerve racking excitement that charac- terized the last game which these two teams played in Birmingham, two years ago.
 ''The playing was of the fiercest kind was kept in a state of intense excitement from first to last. The game took place near the end of the season, and both teams were in excellent shape. Chatta- nooga's superior weight had it's effect before the end of the game. and they finally won out by narrow margin, our boys contesting every point to the bit ter end.
 That night after the game I was so wrought up I couldn't sleep, and strange to say, the next day I met at least half a dozen other enthusiasts who said the game had had exactly the same effect on them. For clean unadulterated sport and excitement give me basket ball.
 "I am glad to say that Birmingham re- deemed itself last year and defeated Chattanooga, and from the indications I am led to blieve they will do so again this year."

 Clyde Fitch has signed contract with Charles Frohman by which he becomes playwright. producer and manager of the Savoy Theater next season. MT. Fitch must, under the terms of agreement, be prepared to furnish a new play for presentation on four weeks notice when ever the receipts fall below a fixed figure for two weeks. Just what Mir. Fitch has bound himself to do can be appreciated by realization of the fact that in pro- ducing a new play he has to select his players, choose their costumes, supervise the building and painting of the scenery, arrange the lighting. provide for the incl dental music and personally supervise trIe rehearsals and stage manage the plays throughout their runs. Meanwhile he will have to see that his press agent keeps awake and his weather eye will be glued on the box office. Of course, MT. Fitch is to be handsomely remunerated for his Ia- bor, but Frohman seems to think that he has assumed such a heavy task that af- ter the papers were signed he agreed to present a check for 5000 to the Actors Fund If Mir.

 In the Episcopal churches the lessons read and the sermons preached today will be fitting to the penitential occasion, while in the Catholic churches in addi- tion to penitential lections and discourses the ancient ceremony of the ashes will be performed. A priest makes the sign of the cross with ashes on the forehead of each one of the faithful. saying, Me mento homo quia pulvis, es, ct in pull veris," etc-Remember man that dust thou art and unto dust thou must return
 This Ash Wednesday rite is performed in every Catholic church in the world, great basilica, great cathedral, great par ish church and little parish church.
 The penitential ashes are obtained from the palms blessed and used on the last Palm Sunday. The nuns preserve the palms and burn them to ashes for this impressive service.

KNOW LOCALITY OF TREASURE.
British Admiral Will DivuIge 1t for
 One-Fourth of the Money.

Victoria, B. C., February u.-At meeting of the Pacific Exploration Com pany. which recently sent an expedition to Cocos island to search for buried treas ure, the President stated that a letter had been received from Admiral Pallizer, formerly in command of the British Pa cfc squadron. stating that if the present expedition was q failure he would divulge the hiding place of the treasure if he was given one-fourth of what was found.
 Admiral Pallizer visited the island a couple of years ago with his flagship and made a search for the treasure. It was said at the meeting last night that on that occasion the admiral located the treasure but decided to leave it where it was until he had retired from the navy when he intended to recover 1t.
