Pathoh in a Fire Report.

In the annual report of the fire mar

rags smeared with grease to take fire

take fire when the sun beats on the
roof, and broken toys of children who
are grown and gone away, or who

CHICAGO, April 23.--Just how
much loss In paper profits James A.

OF the two violent slumps the wheat
market has sustained this week was the
principal topic OF discussion when to
days wheat market opened The ex-
citement which attended yesterdays
session appeared 10 have extended
over into today and traders express
ed the belief that the bears would
take further advantage OF Patterns alb
sence from the city and raid the mar
ket again.
Well informed persons declared to-
Gay that the declining market means
that Patten has thrown over the prfn-
cipal part of the fronts he had al
ready made In his earlier operations
In May wheat and that instead Of
clearing 100000 he will be lucky to
make 100000 and may be forced TO
take loss.
Traders express the opinion that
there are about 100000 bushels OF
May wheat which Fatten will be COM
PEELED to take In one contract which
he has already purchased. II IS be-
lieved that in the present condition
Of the market II would be utterly i'm
possible for him to get rid of this g.
100000 bushels without, forcing
slump in the May price below 81
The only way these traders say Pat
ten can get out OF the May market
without taking loss is to sell enough
wheat for July delivery to take care
Of this 100000 bushels OF May. The,
believe the Patten brokers are plan
ming 10 take In the wheat delivered
during the month Of May. carry 4.
over until July and then deliver II Oh
contracts they are now selling. The
traders figure that this system would
net Patten about 100000.

sanity.
This is the idea Of ]. Mcintyre, CHIEF
counsel for the defendant, and Il Is the
result Of the clash between Mcintyre
and DR.. Samuel Monson. alienist for
the defense, who said yesterday that
Hams Is not low suffering from any
acute mania.
Lawyer Mcintyre said that IL the
expert testimony appeared confusing
or tended TO show the captain sane,
he would place the captain before the
jury. II Justice Garretson refuses to
have him sworn, in view OF the de-
lenses contention that he Is insane,
Mcintyre says he will at least argue
to have the captain make q statement
to the Jury without being sworn. II
he finds that impossible, he will then
offer the captain as an exhibit and try
TO have him entered In evidence.
Mcintyre vigorously asserts that his
client was insane when he shot and
killed Annis and Is insane now.
The family OF Captain Hams are
opposed to the scheme OF Lawyer Nc
Intyre and are expected to do all they
can TO prevent the placing Of the cap
tain on exhibition In the courtroom.
II Is the general opinion among
those attending the trial that the dec
laration OF expert Monson yesterday
was In accord with the wishes OF Gen.
Hams, who II Is thought hopes to get
his boy free without opening the
gates of an insane asylum for him.
