president of the defunct Chicago Ma

December IS, 1905, was yesterday ar
rested on a federal warrant charging
him with violation of the national
banking laws in making false returns

The warrant also asserts that he CON

RICH YOUNG MAN
TURNS SOCIALIST

New York, March 3.-Joseph Medill
Patterson, whose resignation as COM
missioner of public works of Chicago
was announced yesterday, and who at
present is stopping in this city, ex-
pressed his view on socialism last
night to the Associated Press. Elk
planning one of the ideas of SOCIALISM,
Patterson said: 1--WE say that things
should be divided equally, we mean
that every man should have a
chance" that it did not mean that
all the money in the country should
be cut up into equal parts. 1t means,
he declared, that the people should
own in common all means of produc-
ton, sources of wealth, and divide
the results.
AS to the progress of socialism, he
believed the socialists would gradu-
ally obtain control of Chicago; that
this will be followed by their control
!; of other cities and finally of the coun-
try. Patterson is himself rich man.
and heir to millions. His lifelong con-
tact with wealth and people of riches
makes his action the more surprising.

This natural history exposition, as
lit might be called-this most remark
able OF the worlds markets-is typical
of the changes that have come over
the metropolis in the last ten or fit
teen years. In former days people
were content for the most part to
take things as they come along, sea-
son by season; but nowadays there is
no waiting for seasons. The big ho-
ltels and the fashionable restaurants
that accommodate not only New York
ers but the throngs of visitors always
isurging up and down the city have
created constant demand for almost
every known article of food; and
hence this marvelously complete and
abundant supply. 1t is no exaggera-
ton to say that nearly every dish
known to the civilized world is served
lon New York tables. The result is
that the markets of New York are a
miniature representation of all the
markets of theeworld.
Hardly anything is "out of season"

lambs are supplied to one new hotel
in midwinter from lighthouses in New
Jersey. In the days when the apple
crop of the east was sufficient or
