New York, N. Y. The govern
ment came out in the open in it's
attempt to prove that manipulate
ing of the cotton market is against
the law. James A. Patten of Chicago,
and seven lesser figures in the specu-
lative field have been indicted,
charged with conspiracy in restraint
of trade under the Sherman antitrust
law.
The indictment was returned by a
special federal grand jury and handed
up before Judge Hough in the Nnited
States Circuit court. Five of those
indicted, Patten, Eugene B. Scales,
Frank B. Hayne, William P Brown
and M. H. Rothschild, gave bail of
$4,000 as required, through counsel
For the other three, who were neither
present in court nor represented by
lawyers, bench warrants were issued.
They are Sidney j. Herman, Robert
M. Thompson and Charles A. Kittle.
Immediately the Indictment was an
nounced there was an excited break
on the cotton exchange, July and
August deliveries declining about
$1.5C a bale, July selling at $14S1 anG
August at $14.35, as against $1512
and S14.64 at the close of business on
the previous night.

JOHN ALDEN WAY IN CHINA
Whether That Is Benefit or Not,
There Is No Doubt of Woman's
Advance.

DR.. Isaac II. Headland, a resident of
Picking for many years, where he en-
joyed the friendship of the dowager
empress, throws new light on the
new women of China. Taking up the
relations between the sexes and espe-
cially the Chinese method of getting
a wife, he repeats a conversation with
young Chinaman who had recently
become engaged to Chinese maiden
with whom he had never spoken.
1--WE students have very great adj
vantage over the old Chinese method
of finding wife and getting en-
gagged" said my celestial friend.
What do you mean?" l inquired.
well, you see, by the old Chinese
method a man can never see his wife
until she is brought to his home, un-
allow him to stand on the street cor
ner and see her pass by in cart"
"And What advantage do you have?"
1--WE see the girls in church" he
answered, "They also can see US.
| We have sisters in the girls school;
they have brothers in The college, ana
when we go home during vacation we
can learn all about each other
THAT Is an advantage"

much better acquainted by oul

YES, that's true" he admitted, "but
doesn't it make you awfully angry il
you ask girl to marry you and she
refuses?"

were advantages in the middlemaI

Ravens Sharp Trick.

The best talking-bird new to the
big collection in the London "Zoo'' is
a raven who came to the aviary last
year. "Hullo! Jacki" Is his favorite
remark, and it is the voice Of one
who meets an unworthy friend. Soon
after he arrived he used his CONVEX
sational powers with great effect upon
a lammergeier who shares his cage

lammergeier had piece of meat
which the raven desired, but he was
unwilling to surrender it. The raven
hoped up. ''Hullo! Jack!" he began,
and the lammergeier, aghast at the
voice of man, dropped his dinner and
fed. But the lammergeier was never
a bird of much spirit.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cay. Oct 3.
Who is Mysterious" Mitchell?
That is the question that every
baseball fan on the Pacific coast,
old and young, male and female,
white and black, has been asking
ever since a sturdy, handsome
young fellow, of undeniable col
lege education, made his advent
into the ranks Of Pacific Coast
league players.
About a month ago, while San
Francisco was playing in Portland,
mysterious stranger approach
ed the captain of the San Fran
cisco team and with much show of
dignity and confidence, applied
for position on his pitching staff.
Try him out" was the instruc-
ton issued to one of the catchers.
The stranger jumped into a uni
form and was given a most severe
tryout. At its conclusion the
catcher tersely reported:
He'll do. He has everything"
Terms were agreed upon and
the newman was asked where he
had worked. If he told, the secret
has been well guarded, for 20 this
day the general public does not
know for a certainty what his
name is, where he learned tSe
game or where he lives. On the
contract his name appears as F..
Mitchell. The San Francisco team
was scheduled to play in Los An
geles after it's Portland engage
ment, therefore it was two weeks
before the local fans had an OPP
portunity of : seeing him. Little
was thought about him, IN fact
that he had even been signed was
practically forgotten, until one day
he was given his turn in the box
in Los Angeles, pitched a double
header, won both games and bat
ted like a fiend.
Then everybody began to- ask
the question:
tWho is MITCHELL"
The Los Angeles correspondents
for the San Francisco papers were
overwhelmed with rush orders for
pictures and interviews, and when
they tackled the job they fohhd
that they had bumped up against
another eighth wonder-a ,4baSe-
ball player who Stunned publicity,
who would not speak to the Ire
porters and threatened photosra-
pliers with violence If they lat
tempted to take his picture. That
simply stimulated curiosity, AMI
when the mysterious one showed
on the diamond In this city for
the first time a whole flock of
photographers swarmed on the
field, but like their brethersn in
the south they were doomed to
Disappointment. Mitchell ! was
scheduled to pitch that da$ Fbnt
positively refused to come out and
take his place ON the mound until
the photographers had been driv-
en- off the field.s Several OF the
better equipped photographers
took long-distanoe snaps at him,
but none has been able to securt .
a faithful photograph.
Mitchell has been variousls
identified as Bob Mitchell, who
had a brief engagement with the
Chicago White Sox; as Fred Nit
chell, Mississippi college pitcher;
as McQuillen, suspended NatioE-
al league pitcher, and as Fred
Walker, formerly of the rniyer-l
