WHEAT MARKET
 STILL ACTIVE Sensational Features Lacking, However. PRICES DEPRESSED EARLY Strong Close With July the Bsne of Contention. Tine story Going the Round. That Pat ten Has Employed a Bodyguard
 Ha. No Proper Foun-
 datfsn.

Chicago. April 16.-While the wheat market was active today it lacked the sensational features of yesterday. Prices were depressed early, July touch ing 115 5-s and May 125 5-S but the close was strong with July the bone of contention, l IA cents over the previous close at TIT. May closed a half cent lower at 127 1-S
 The story that Patten has employed a bodyguard has no proper foundation. The negro man alleged to occupy this position has been at the same door re- ceiving visitors cards for genera tion. He was there before the name of Patten had become one to conjure.<
 Washington, April 16.-"The only successful cornef in wheat I ever heard was one Joseph had in Biblical days" declared Secretary of Agricui- opinion as to the Patten operations on the Chicago Board of Trade.
 The Secretary was about to enter the usual Friuay meeting of President Taft's cabinet.
 ITO successfully corner the wheat market" continued the Secretary, you have got to kep buying, buying and buying. Finally the time comes when you can't buy any more and then there is a smash"
 Chicago. April 16.-The Patten wheat deal constitutes the principal topic of conversation in Paris, according to a special cable from the French capital to The Daily News today.
 "The Patten deal" says the cable gram, affects the price of bread not only in the United States butfh Flu rope. Even in Paris, judges of repute have come to the concusion that to this deal and to no other causes, is due the fact that Parisians are pa Nug nearly l cent per pound more for their daily bread than heretofore."
 Last year the French wheat crop was bad. That of the year before, however, was so large that surplus is still on hand sufficient to Jast until the next harvest It's price as well as the price Of wheat for future delivery must be raised on account of the speculation in Chicago and other American centers, or as M. Bachellier, president of the bak- CTS syndicate, said today, England. Germany and other countries would rapidly drain France of it's supply, forcing it to buy in the United States or Areentina at still higher prices than the French have to pay now. The bakers consequently have had to raise the price of bread, he said, but he did not believe the situation would last long.
 M. Bachellier added that the rniilers of France expect new wheat in July and the crao. he said. promises to be one of the largest in years.

BLAME MASSACRE
ON CHRISTIANS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
coNsrANTINoPLE. May 19.--Reports
from Asia Minor towns where wholesale
massacres were recently engaged in by
the Mohammedans. indicate that the So
called investigation by commission au-
pointed by the Young Turks is white
washing" the whole affair.
Foreign interests in Turkey feared that
such would be the result when the re-
guest OF England and America for rev.
Presentation on the commission was de-
lnied The commission has accepted the
fanatical Mohammedans' claim that the
responsibility for the outrages, which
claimed about $4,000 lives, rests with the
Armenians. and it Is the latter who are
now being imprisoned for participation
In the massacres
The Asia Minor iiasco shows that locally
the Young Turks are still afraid OF the
anger OF the reactionaries. The latter
are stili in an ugly mood on account OF
the continued execution OF the mutneers.
Only the fact that the Young Turks deem
these executions necessary to preserve
military discipline prevents them from
yielding 20 the Mohammedan demand that
the executions cease A number OF the
mutineers, under sentence Of death, will
be either hanged or shot this week.
