RESCUED BY THE POLICE
James A. Patten, the Wheat and Cot
ton King, Almost Mobbed in Eng.
land.

London, March II "A hostile dem
onstration on the floor of the cotton
exchange at Manchester and one dir
ectly contrasting it for friendliness on
the corn exchange at Liverpool were
met with today by James A. Patlen,
the Chicago, wheat and cotton oper-
ator. In the first Mr.. Patton was
mobbed and probably escaped injury
only by being rescued by the police;
in the latter he was greeted witli
cheering and other manifestations of
friendliness.
The brief vacation in England of
the Chicago operator had been spent
mostly about the Liverpool markets,
and today he made up his mind 70
run over to Manchester to see the city
and visit the cotton exchange. 1t was
known to Mr.. Patten that there had
been threats of an unpleasant re-
ception should he visit "Cottonopolis'
but he refused to believe they would
be carried into effect. These threats,
it Is said, emanated from persons on
the exchange who had lest large sums
as result of Mr.. Patterns operations
in Chicago and from others who hold
him responsible for yesterdays rise
in the price of cotton and who be-
lieved that his visit to England had
for its purpose the manipulation of
the market
/ AS soon as Patten appeared on the
floor of the cotton exchange at the
"cottonpolis" today, broker shouted
"Patteni" Instantly hostile cries were
raised and the air was filled witt
beings and shouting, mingled witt
an occasional cheer. Amid the din the
brokers rushed toward the American
who was quickly surrounded by d
threatening mob and jostled hitler
and thither as the pressure of excited
center OF the circle up and down the
floor of the pit
After while the brokers, exert.
ing their energies in a common dircc-
ton, made finaal rush and drove tho
wheat king out of the door and into
the street.
The business of the exchange wa!
suspended and hundreds of men lef
the pit and followed the speculation
into Bank street, where another bis
crowd was soon assembled At ,thi:
point the visitor received reception
even more riotous than that which
greeted him within the exchange. Tn,
mob hurled epithets and hundred
fists were shaken at Patten, whit
turned pale as the threatening GROVE
point of personally assaulting him. \
critical moment strong force 6
police arrived and forcing their Wa,
through the rioters, surrounded Pat
ten. A moment later they had hustle,
him into an office and out tie bacl
door into cab, in which he was hur
riedly driven to railroad station.
Arriving in Liverpool NJ. PattCi
just had time to visit the corn eX
change before it closed for the day
The floor was crowded with mcmber
who evidenced their sympathy Wit
him for the treatment that had bee
shown him in Manchester.

Miss B.: Nature intended woman
should have a plump, well rounded
figure, but the method you employ is
ineffective, massaging only clears
the skin but does not develop the deli
cate tissues and muscles. Use the Vau-
caire treatment, which you can prepare
by making simple syrup with cup
and a half of granulated sugar and
enough water to make a pint; into this
stir an ounce of. true gallol, then take
two tablespoonfuls three times a day
This is the best and most effective rem
edy [ know of for scrawniness and un-
der development. -
Mrs. Y. 1 wouldn't advise the cleo
trio needle, as it is too painful and
costly 1 have suggested the delol
treatment to many readers and know
you will find it effective, as it actually
removes all traces of hair and does not
leave any Injurious after effects Get
a package of defol from your druggist

paste enough to thickly cover the spot;
let this remain for about two or three

Jane: ID Consult your family phy-

red hands and rough skin. Stop using
powder and prepare the following: Get
two ounces of amarol from your drug

Use this lotion on the face and hands
and the redness and roughness soon
disappear; then you will have a pink

the boiling point; stir until dissolved
and pour into a pint jar. This cerol
cream is not greasy and will not grow
