JIM
 AND EATEN 1heLeaders ofOpposing Sen- entRegaPding Wheat FORMERS ESTIMATE A JOKE
Declares the Bull Manipula- tor Who However Is In Ac- cord With the Secretary's Views In Regard to Put ting Wheat On Free List.

Chicago. April 17.-After a memora- ble speculative week, the ticker's good night" was received at noon today with a deep sigh of relief from the board of trade men, not to mention an army of laymen drawn into the vortex of the wheat pit by the publicity given James A. Patten, the bull leader, and his fol- lowing.
 Good night" means a day and a half for quiet reflection on the great prob lem of the season. "WiII the public eat this years or last years what three months hence?"
 Today MT Patten personally left the market to its fate. which, from the view of the Patten crowd. improved considerably at prices advanced over a cent in the May and July options.
 Patten paid his respects to Secre- tary of Agriculture Wilson, declaring that the latter's estimate of available supplies was a joke, and he lectured the reporters who. he alleges, have been more entertaining than accurate in their stories.
 As to the talk of removing the tariff on wheat as a slap at manipulators, Patten was for it. I'm in favor of re- moving it right now because we'll have to do so inside of ten years, at any rate. It would not affect the price of wheat a penny, for the markets of the world are on a parity right now. Take off the duty on corn, oats and live stock. too, for it will not be long be- fore We will have to import them. I have said this before, and Jimmy Hill has been preaching it to the farmers along his railroads for the last three or four years.
 As to Mir. Wilson, he is absolutely incorrect. There was not 143,000, 900 bushels on the farms on March 1. It was nearer 100000 My informa- tion is better than tbis( and l know what I am talking about
 Both Wilson and Patten remarked that time will tell' and time" in the presence instance means two months and half from the present. That the fight between the opposing interests will be one of the most exciting in the history of the board of trade, no one doubts. In the aggregate it will be waged between those who believe in the accuracy of the government re- ports and those who pin their faith on Patten.

Washington, April 1.-The Broiler of the Gridiron Club, the famous or ganiZatiOn or newspapermen, was kept busy tonight serving up wit and hu- nor at a special dinner compliment tary to the new administration. AL most the first thing to greet the guests was hand bill distributed by some speedy messenger boys, announcing that there would be a great minstrel show by all-star performers. includ- ing vocalists, comedians and cabinet officers"
 This show was the hit of the even ing. In true minstrel fashion, with all the accompaniments of dusters and a more or less discordant band, a troupe of club talent paraded through the hall before going on the stage. Eating Through Georgia" was the opener, and ran like this:
 sound the good old dinner horn,
 We'll sing another song
 About the trip that Taft once made.
 When, with digestion strong,
 He ate his share of everything.
 That they would bring along

 Then there ensued some lively con- verSation between the middle man. who posed as the vice president" and the speaker of the house, and the cabinet officers who composed the balance of the troupe. After a good deal of sparring over what was the

Luck Not With Champs.

The Tiges had a bunch OF chances
TO score. most prominent being the
eight inning when, with the bases full
and two out. Moriarty failed TO get the
ball safe.
That 3O-point lead still looks good,
however.
Before dlsmissing the subject of the
final game Of the trip. ii should be OBJ
served that Killian, for the third time
on the trip. pitched a pretty good
game, only TO lose it by virtue OF poor
batting support. Three hits, distribut-
ed at appropriate points in Eds three
games. one apiece, would have given
him as many wins. AS matters stand,
the review OF Eds work on the trip
Is OF necessity very like the reports OF
the work OF the colored troops in tho
Spanish war which, as the dispatches
always used TO state. fought nobly.
But, II Ed hadn't much support in a
batting way, he did get some gilt-edgod
work in the field TO help him out But
one misplay marred the work OF the
Champs in the field and this did not
count in the scoring. Several brilliant
plays were pulled off. most prominent
being a running catch by Sam Craw-
ford in deep center. which cut of what
seemed TO be sure triple from Bar
rvs bat. The stunt brought even the
apathetic Quaker crowd TO its feet.
