Charles ID. Harrington, No. SO
Avery-ave.. deputy superintendent of
the Standard Accident Insurance
Co, appeared In Judge Phelan' s
court. Monday morning, to defend
the reputation OF his dog. Spot,
against the allegations OF Patrolman
Charles Boucher. who declared that
Spot" had taken a bite Out OF his
leg. Harrington. II will be remem-
bered. wrote long letter to Police
Commissioner Smith. some time ago,
stating that Spot" had had a ma
tural aversion TO policemen since his
puppy days. when some copper had
been rude to the dog. In the letter.
he ststed that the dogs instinct was
unerring. and that he could tell the
difference between a fireman and a
policeman. He stated that he had
heard rumors that the policemen
were going to send Spot to an un-
timely end.
"He has all Of the natural tenden-

WILD SCENES CONTINUE
IN CHICAGO WHEAT PIT
Patten Increases Profits Several Hun.
dred Thousand Dollars BY Unload
ing Big Lots Of May option.

CHICAGO. April l2.--As the open
ing of the market today there was no
indication OF break In the record
breaking prices Of July and September
wheat. July maintained its advance
OF Saturday, while September bet
tered its Saturday advance and topped
the 108 mark.
Shortly after the opening. however.
the market broadened and every one
bought at once. There was almost as
much excitement in the pit as dur
ing the wild closing hour Saturday
when prices advanced from 2 1-2 to
cents. Today, by 1890, May wheat
had touched 1875, July 115 "a and Sep
TENDER los IL.
Before noon the traders began to
realize that the broadening OF the
market played directly into Patten's
hands. Under cover Of the enormous
buying he was able TO unload guam
titles of May wheat and to purchase
large quantities OF July and September
without going into the open. Tho
trading was so general that the bull
leader got rid of long line of May
and increased his profits several hun
dred thousand dollars.
There are those who believe that
Patterns sensational purchasing OF
July and September which he began
Saturday. is blind to give him a
chance TO get rid of his long line or
May without attracting attention. The
nervousness continued right up TO the
close. The net advance during the
day was 5-Sc for May. SAC for July
and ga for September.
