Boston, May 25.-Industrial expans-

New England promises to make the
present year notable for commercial
growth in tnls section. In four
States Massachusetts, Rhole Island,

A bout half of the number are in Mas

far tnis year for new construction in
New England exceed $4,000 900.
This is more than double the amount
for the corresponding period of last
year. and far ahead of t1e figures for
many years.
The geatest activity is shown in the
textile industry of the establishment
of which on firm basis in the Unit
ed States the present year is practi-
cally the centenary. 1t was in the
| Spring of 1909 that the Government
lifted the embargo which had existed
for two years and passed the nonin-

effect of this measure was a great
stimulus to the development of do

| South and New England to manufac-
ture clota from the cotton which had
hitherto been shipped to England to

The current year is the centenary
also of the founding of the worlds

Next to the textiles the paper max.
ing industry is manifesting the great

is expected to be the largest factory

MAY WHEAT PRICES
STILL ON THE
UP GRADE
Patten Making Additions to
His Profits
REPORTS ARE DISCOURAG IN
Bio Shortage Threatened Unless
There Is Immediate Change IN
Weather Conditions

Chicago. MAY 25.-As the end OF
Nav approaches shorts in tnat option
of wheat on the Chicago board of
trade are hustling to get rid of their
commitments. There is only one man
to whom they can go for wheat, and
that is the same man who bought the
options from them earlier in the year,
James A. Patten.
The demand upon him was so great
yesterday that he was able 10 boost
the price up nearly cents, to $l.34A,
thereby adding to his already large
profits. Every day reports of the
growing crop get worse. On Satur-
day one of the large railroad systems
operating in the Southwest sent out
report of a big shortage in Kansas.
This was followed by report from a
well known crop expert saying that
instead of S0,S00,000 bushels for Kan
sas, the crop of that State. and Okla
homa besides, would hardly reach the
S0.000,000 mark unless great improve
ment in weather conditions takes
place Immediately.
Other options besides the May have
shown signs of strength lately. and
| September led, advancing at one time
81 cents and closed almost 3 cents
higher than Saturday The strength
of this particular option was due to
the combined purchases of Armour
Patten, The Armour house was active
in the gain market, and paid particu
lar attention to the September wheat
selling at the same time a quantity OF

offset.
On the other hand, the Patten
house was a buyer of both tne Sep
TENDER and December, and was seller
of May and July. Close observers in
the pits say Patten has been selling
his May wheat to the shorts all this
month, and some of them believe his
sales since his return to the city two
weeks ago have averaged 250,00(
bushels a day. Yesterday ne is said
to have sold nearer 100000. Wher
asked it he was cleaned out of the
May wheat, he replied
"Oh | guess there will be enough tC
last until the end of the month"

That Manager Barley made no mis-
take in booking the Humanovo Talk

A young Italian laborer whose sur
name is said to be Louis" was shot
and instantly killed by fellow coun-
tryman on Union street in front of
the residence of Charles H. Dewey
about $40 this afternoon.
The bullet entered the unfortunate
mans body, probably piercing his
heart He took few steps forward
and fell headlong within few feet of
the sidewalk. When physician
reached the scene the man was dead.
Death was almost instantaneous.
The mans assailant fled rapidly af-
ter the shooting and his identity could
not be learned at the scene of the
shooting. The motive for the shoot
ing is not known but is probably the
outcome of some former dispute and
the assailant took this way of aveng-

FIND MORE OIL AT eRoToN
Workmen Strike a Vein Near the
FLOWING Goodyear Well

Ithaca, n. Y, May 24.-More oil has
been discovered in the village of Gro
ton, not far from the Goodyear well,
where for the last four months oil has
been pouring steadily. A number OF
workmen struck oil just below the sur
face of the bed of a creek. Tney
were building a concrete wall and on
removing the form which had been
imbedded in the earth noted that II
was saturated with oil. One OF the
men then sank his pickhandle two
feet below the surface and when he
pulled it out oil spurted up.
This oil burns about as well as kerr
osene. A company has been formed
to develop the Goodyear property and
it will sink a shaft soon.

A HAT FOR EVERY HOUR
Smith College Girls Present Fad Re-
quires II

Northampton, Mass, May 24.-The
Smith college girls latest fad-trim-
ming their hats with flowers from the
garden-is delighting the superinten-
dent of hat factory in Amherst while
tne Northampton milliners are on the
point of sending a petition for relief
to the college authorities.
II believe that in the last month, p"
says Supt. Shepard of the factory, 1--WE
have sold no less than 1900 hats for
this purpose. Girls come here at all
times of the day in carriages, in auto
mobiles, and in the street care. Two
even came afoot a few days ago.
"Of course we make hundreds OF
different kinds of hats in hundreds of
different shapes, but there is only one
kind that the girls viii buy. 1t is a
peculiar looking hat. and woven and
blocked in a distinctive way. AS a
rule, the rougher the hats and the less
shape they have the better the college
girls take to them."
Just who started the craze at the
college is not known. Some say that
an Amherst student jokingly suggest
ed the scheme to one of the girls at
dance early in the spring and that
to her belongs the credit 1t is said
this girl is member of the sopho
more class.
When OF where the fad will stop nc
one knows. But the cost is small
only 10 cents per hat. A hat fol
every hour of the day is the present
mode-each girl purchases from hall
dozen to two dozen of the straw
shapes, takes them back to Northamp
ton and decorates them to suit heI
! fancy.
/ Hats to match shoes, waists, ties
or stockings are favorites, and, in ad
dition there are driving hats, golfinl
hats, tennis hats and boating hats. AL
are of the most extreme type as tC
decoration and shape.

persons living in the vicinity heard
the shot and most are agreed that
there were two reports.
Several of the women living in near
by houses were attracted by the re-
ports of the revolver and ran out of
doors. The victim of the crime was
seen lying upon the lawn and the man
who did the shooting was seen run
ming over Union street in westerly
direction.
Among the people who were attract
ed by the shooting and the excite
ment that followed was DR.. Wilson
who made a brief examination, found
the bullet nole almost directly In the
center of the body and pronounced the
man dead.
One of the persons who heard the
shots was Mrs. George H. Harwood
who lives in the house adjoining that
of Mr.. Dewey. She was working in

The young Italian was engaged, she
says, in clipping the edges of the walk
at the time he was joined by the
young fellow countryman who is al
legged to have done the shooting.
There was no quarrel. apparently
and no loud words were spoken by
either Suddenly two revolver shots
rang out Startled by the reports sac
looked up from her work and as she
did so heard some one exclaim 20 My

on the ground kicking and groaning
and the other was hurrying away as
fast as he could run.
