CHICAGO. May Corn today on the
board of trade touched IO1 for the May
option. This is the highest figure al
which il has sold since i9o2. when John
w. Gates and associates attempted to
corner the market.
1t is said that James A. Patten and w.
III. lett are largely resoc n ib,e for
the bul!ish demonstration They have
taken in and paid fer. II is claimed al
NEST 100000 bushels since May ]. and
many of the bears who have sold for
May delivery are having much difficulty
in filling their contracts. The fact that
only small amount Of corn is being re-
ceived from the country aids the bull
movement.

Intimidation Of Witnesses"
Mr.. Graham opposed the motion. He
contended that the proceedings should be
| tried under the statute in the judicial dis
trict; where the habeas corpus was made
returnable. He said that the statement
of cost of the proceedings had been ex-
aggerated: that the function of the New
York district attorney ended with the
murder trial, and that the New York dis
trict attorney could appear only by cour-
tesy Of the court and the Duchess county
district attorney.
ITO spend $4,000 would be a waste of
the public money. 1t can be entirely reg
ulated by the district attorney Of Duchess

to transfer the hearing, but offered to sit

mony if both sides were to consent.
