NEARLY MoNoPoLlzED THE
MARKET.
PATTEN'S PROFITS GOOD
May Dealers Turn to Juiy--Shorts
Get Shlvers--Patten Cries
for More Cotton, After
Buying All.

! New York, May 1.-Profits very
near $4,000 were shown by careful
calculation of the work Of James A.
Patten and his associates In the bull
clique which has manipulated May
cotton almost to the exclusion OF
every one else, and victorious in
deals for two hundred thousand bales
Is now turning its attention to buy
ing all of July cotton that is offered.
/, Mr.. Paten Is believed to have car
ried in his own name about one-half
J of the May cotton handled by the bull
crowd and his individual profits were
estimated at approximately 100000.
The cotton wa staken over at 14.50
cents and today the price has risen
to 14.S2 cents, the closing price for
May on the exchange.
The buying of July cotton by the
bull crowd gave the shorts shiver
and the price for July was driven up
from 14.G1 cents, when Patten and
his associates began to buy, to 14.65
cents at the close of the market. II
was predicted in Wall street that the
real pinch In cotton would be felt in
July, and the shorts were making
every effort to cover.
Patten 10 Prepared.
The big four who are taking over
! the cotton are, besides Mr.. Patten,

tP. Brown and Frank Hayne Of New
IOrleans. Mr.. Hayne and Mr.. Brown
started the buying OF July cotton at
the opening OF the cotton market,
The way the street figures the only
question with which the bull crowd
will have to deal at this time is how
to get rid of the thousands of bales
Of May cotton purchased
About fifty thousand bales were or
dered shipped from New York ware
houses yesterday, forty thousand
south and two thousand to Fall River
mills. Today Mr.. Patten announced
that he had made arrangements to
ship forty-iive thousand bales to Great
Britain at once, and he said that ne
expected the remaining one hundred
thousand bales would be taken over
lby American and foreign spinners.
They should have no difficulty
getting hold of the cotton at fair
price, said Mr.. Patten.
Patten Sells $4,000 Bales.
The charges on carrying the i'm.
mense supplies of cotton amount to
nearly $4,000 daily, and for this rea-
Eson alone the bull clique will endeayor
to dispose OF their holdings at the
earliest moment These charges viii
be reduced from May /, however, in
view of the cotton already disposed o.
by Mr. Patten and his associates.
Reports by brokers show that to.
tai OF $4,000 bales of cotton were
taken over by the Patten crowd. Car

Mr. Scales operates, took $4,000 bales;

The seasons frst snow-storfn found
the city in much better shape to take

the city put the new system to a severe
test. General Superintendent of Works

The trolley company is doing a lot
to aid the work of cleaning the streets,
and a force of 500 men were sent out
early today with all the wagons that
the company could hire, and rapid
progress was made in getting the main
streets cleaned up. An agreement,
made with the city not long ago, pro-
vides that the trolley company shall
take care of twelve miles of the streets

Session.
CLAIM EVIDENCE WHOLLY
FAILS TO MAKE CASE
Report Is Signed by the Chair
man and Republican Mem
bers of Committee.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-vindicating
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
upon all the charges brought against
him, and condemning his accusers as
having been inspired by deep feeling
of animosity built upon a supposed
difference in policy respecting conser-
vation, a majority of the Congressional
committee which investigated the So
called Ballinger- -Pinchot case today
submitted its report to Congress.
After stating that the evidence pre-
sented related in the main to charges
of various kinds against Mr.. Ballinger,
and that these came chiefly from two
sources-L. R. CLAWS and Clifford Pin
chot-the majority announced the fol-
lowing conclusion:
"The evidence has wholly failed to
make out case Neither any fact
proved, nor all the facts put together
exhibit Mr. Ballinger as being any
thing but competent and honorable
gentleman, honestly and faithfully per-
forming the duties Of his high office
: with an eye single to the public in
terest''
The report was signed by Senators
Knute Nelson, chairman; frank P
Flint, George Sutherland and Elihu
Root and Representatives Samuel w.
Mccall, of Massachusetts, vice. chair
man; Marlin e. Olmsted. OF Pennsyl-
vania, and Edwin DENLY, of Michigan,

William e. Purcell and Representatives
Ollie M. James, of Kentucky, and
James M. Graham, OF Illinois, together
with Representative Edmond H. Madi-
son, of Kansas, Progressive Repub-
lican, put out another report, which
tbey maintained to be the majority
opinion, condemning the conduct of
Mr.. Ballinger as secretary of the in
terror. This report was made public
following meeting of the committee
, in Minneapolis last September, which
was not attended by some of the Re
publicans who now have exonerated
Mr.. Ballinger, and therefore the nat
uraI minority became majority, and

In speaking of the "animosity"
created by differences respecting the
conservation of natural resources, the
majority of the committee said that the
accusers evidently had this policy
deeply at heart and we're evidently
disposed to take most unfavorable
view of the character and motives Of
anyone whom they supposed to be op-
posed to their views. They thus came
to regard Mr.. Ballinger with suspicion

When the account of the accident TO
his daughter was read by Frederick
Miller the shock nearly caused a ia

to sink and his condition became so
grave Saturday that his physician or
dered him removed to the hospital. At
that institution II is thought tho shock
has been too severe for the parent to
survive.
There are four daughters and three
sons in the family, the mother having
died three years ago. Elizabeth. who
is % years old, has always been the
favorite child of the widower. The
aged man heard about the factory hoi-
ocaust on November 26 and, despite the
efforts of his children. procured a paper
and learned why his daughter had not

To Senator-eleet Low and his fol-

pie asked for a recount of only a few
districts. less than one-seventh of the
voting population of the county, in
stead of applying for recount of the
entire county.
Another suspicious feature Was the

elect Low from insisting on q recoun;
of the entire county. if he so desired
because under section 159 of the cleo

made within ten days after election.
That the suspicious of Senatorselect
Low and his Democratic friends were
