HOT
ON TRAIL Of
DULEY

With 10 new cops to be named
politicians in the council are hot
on the trail of the mayor and
Chief Dudley. Councilman Turn
bull was on deck early this morn
ing and Kreger and Eberly are
determined. The latter demand
the appointment OF Swartz, the
Third ward heller, but Chief
Duley says he will not hive him.
He had a short experience with
him last year, when he was put
on the force for few days to get
min to testify against Fire Chief
IMcAlevy when the council was
trying to GUST him.
Both the chief and mayor this
morning announced that no ap-
pointments will be amde for ten
days. In the emantime applica-
lions have been piling up. There
ARE a couple of hundred now.
High school boys even have ap-
piled for places as cops.
Chief Dudley says he wants men
who have some size and horse
sense.

CHICAGO, May 13.-Will the
above happen to the great bull,
Jas. A. Patten?
4 May 81 will tell the tale. That
lis settlement day. On June l all
the world will know whether or
not Patten has won.
/ Never in the history of the
wheat pit has any man passed set
Element day a winner. Many have
tried. But wheat has beaten tried.
The history of wheat corners is a
story of ruin and dishonor and
suicide and financial wreckage and
broken men.
II Will Patten win?
Some people are beginning to
think he will.
Let us Sc, in plain United
Estates language, just what will
happen on May 81. Whether he
wins or loses, that day will go
down in history as one Of t he
most stormy in the history OF
wheat speculation.
II Let's remember first that a
short, or a bull, In this story, is
la man who has contracted to de-
liver wheat to Patten on May 81.
1.-The price ranges up to 1923, or
whatever may be the highest OPP
/ ton price reached by that time.
i The short in making his con-
| tract, believed that he would be
able to buy wheat at a lower price
before May 81, and make a profit
on his contract.
| The bull, or long, is the man,
like Patten, and those who believe
in him, and have followed his
lead, who has contracted to pay
| for wheat at prices ranging up to
the highest option price.
The option price. we said. That
is the wheat pit price.
There is cash wheat price, too.
That is the price you'd have to pay
| in open market for the actual
wheat. It's been about 20 cents
higher than the option price 30 far.
IIf 1t were lower the shorts could
buy what they wanted and fill
their orders with Patten at a profit
|--or else Patten would go broke
irving to pay.
What will happen then on May
81 In the Chicago wheat pit?
IF PATTEN WINS
The shorts, trying desperately to
beat down the price, will have
failed. Patten has said all along
that this is short year for wheat.
His prediction will have made
good. The shorts, II they have to
buy wheat at anything like the
present cash price, will lose hun
dreds OF Thousands of dollars, mill
lions of dollars, In the aggregate.
They will ransack the world for
wheat, but they will have failed.
In q last desperate endeayor, a.
they face ruin On May 81. they will

MILLION DOLLARS
FOR BALDWIN s
WIDOW

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May ia
One million dollars will be paid
to Mrs. e. J. BaldEin, widow of
Lucky" it was learned today as
as result of a compromise she has
effected with the other heirs. Mrs.
Baldwin's legacy under the terms
of the turf mans will was a small
parcel of land in San Francisco,
heavily mortgaged and worth
only $4,000. She threatened to
bring contest to break the will
and a compromise was the result.
Under the terms of this agree
ment, 1t is understood, Mrs. Zelda
Selby, Baldwin's third daughter,
whose existence was unknown to
the public until after the death of
her father, is to get 1926, 900.

WHEAT'S JUDGMENT DAY IS MAY 81
WHAT WILL II BRING?

Nor
Another broken corner will have
4 gone down In history.
Y And Jas. A. Patten will join the
ranks of Letter and Gates and Old
Hutch and the rest who defied the
lightning.
They are beginning to think that
Patten will win. He said from the
cutset that there would be a
wheat shortage this year. His in
formation seems to have been
right.
In Letters corner in 1898, cash
wheat could be had for $1.4O,
while the wheat pit price was
$1.85.
But in 1909 cash wheat is soar
ing 20 cents higher than the
wheat pit price. The short, Pat
tens enemies, can't get the wheat
unless something breaks.
May 81 will tell the tale.

TRY to buy and fill the order they
have contracted to deliver to Pat
item.
But they can't buy the wheat. 1t
lis not to be had. Each man who
flights for wheat will stimulate the
demand, and the price will soar
higher and higher.
The only price at which they can
buy the precious kernels is beyond

Figure in that maniacal whirlpool
Iof humanity, will rap for order.
CAL trades with the firm of
Blank, Dash &c Co. must be closed

And the wheat pit will know
that a great brokerage house has
gone to the wall.

ruined men will bargain with their
victorious master. He will name
the price at which he will allow
them to settle.

/ BUT IF PATTEN LOSES
Then the mountains OF wheat
garnered around the world and
rushed to thousand Chicago
granaries, by armies of men in
|overalls toiling night and day like
fire fighters, will have been
enough to crush the man who
would dare try to control the
worlds food.
With Patten fighting a losing
battle the price will be beaten
down and down. He has contract-
ed to pay, say $1.29. In the open
market the shorts can buy for
$1.25, for 1920, for 81. And
Patten will have to pay.
To realize ready money he will
have to throw some of the wheat
he has already bought back into
the pit. He will get the money
but that wheat will have pushed
down the price another notch. A
minute later that wheat will rise
up to help smash him.
For weeks he has been quietly
selling, cautiously, so as not to in
terfere with the upward march Of
prices, realizing money for the SUI
preme struggle. He has shipped
his wheat all over the world--any-
thing to get 1t away from Chicago,
so that 1t cannot come back and be
used by his enemies.
But It isn't enough II the bears
win. The shorts can buy all the
wheat they want and deliver It to
Patten ut the price he ret. And he
VIII have to pay.

CHICAGO, May 13.-When
young Harold Sanborn, now OF
Mexico, visited his old friends In
Chicago last winter, wearing
ducks, khaki coat and a combrero
and carrying a gun in his belt, his
friends joshed him somewhat.
The young men who had gone
to military school with Harold
called him the 1.-TWO Gun Man, =
and asked him what he would do
IL some Mexican greaser did get
vexed at him and pulled a knife:
'T'd have to shoot him, OF
course" Young Sanborn didn't
smile. "I'm afraid I'll have to
some time. There are some bad
men down near the ranch. l don't
carry this gun for looks"
Tney all laughed. 1t was good
joke.
