JURY |NDICTS PATTON
NAMES SEVEN OTHERS WITH CHI.
cAGo PLUNGER IN BILL.
Charges That Defendants conspired
With Corporations to Control the
Price of Raw Material.

New York City.-James A. Patton,
the big chicago plunger, and the
men who are alleged to have been as
sociated with him in the cotton pool,
were indicted by a special federal
grand jury here under the criminal
clause of the Sherman antitrust law.
Their bail was fixed at $4,000 each by
Judge Hough. All of them gave bond
through the National Surety Co. and
were Immediately released. The men
indicted are: James A. Patton of Chi
cago, w. p. Brown of New Orleans,
Frank B. Hayne of New Orleans, Eu-
Herman, Robert M. Thompson and
Charles A. Kittle of New York, Nor
ris R. Rothschild of Mississippi.
The investigation which resulted in
the indictments was begun April IS at
the direct order of Attorney General
Wickersham. 1t will be recalled that
all through the sensational rise in the
cotton market last winter Mr.. Patten
and the men associated with him in
the bull movement took advantage of
every occasion to deny that they had
formed an agreement of any sort.
This will be their defense when their
cases are called for trial next fall. The
blanket indictment contains more than
10000 words and consists of five
counts. The first count charges that
the defendants on the first day of jan
uary, 1910, conspired with certain cor.
porations that are spinners and manu-
facturers of cotton, to control the
price of the raw material. The corpo-
rations were not indicted.

FIotilla Meets Him at Quarantine.
More than a month ago every avail
able craft in New York harbor had
been engaged for the day, and nu-
merous big organizations, like the Re-
publican club of New York and the
Hamilton club of Chicago, had char
tered regular coast line steamers.
Early in the morning this immense
flotilla sailed far down the bay, and
when, about 9 o'clock, the scouting
tugs and motor boats came flying in
with the word that the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria was approaching, all
made ready for the first greeting.
AS the big liner came into sight, ev-
cry whistle on every vessel was tied

CRUCIFY ESTRADA SOLDIERS
Troops of Madriz Enact Terrible Bar
baritles on lnsurgent Prisoners,
Says Consul General.

+ New Orleans, La.-Crucified with
two heavy daggers driven through
their arms and legs, two of the
soldiers of the Estrada army who
had been taken prisoners by the SOL
diers of the Madriz faction, were
found five days after the battle of
Bluefields by General Estrada and
Richard Sussmann, consul general of
the PROFESSIONALS with headquarters
here. The revolutionist leader was
led to the spot by the circling of buz-
yards around two trees and when he
went closer made the gruesome dis
covery. This and many other tales
of barbarities by the Madriz troops
and their generals were told by Con
sui General Sussmann on his return
here via the steamship Dictator.

the parade through the city streets
started. 1t was originally intended
to conclude the reception with mon
ster parade, and invitations were is
sued to various organizations through
out the country. Within a few days,
however, the committee was flooded
with so many applications that the
parade feature had to be in part aban-
doned. Organizations from Maine to
California and from the Gulf to the
Great Lakes requested places in the
line Of march, and if the project had
been carried out, the procession would
have extended from the Battery to
the Harlem river and back again, a
distance of 20 miles, and the people
who had travelled hundreds of miles
to see Roosevelt would have been de-
prived of the pleasure. In order to
overcome this obstacle so that no one
would be offended, unique arrange
ment was adopted by the committee.

100000 FOR RICHARD PARR
Success in Uncoverins Sugar Trust
Frauds Brings Nervous Man
Handsome Reward.

Washington, d. C.-The amount
that Richard Parr will receive for his
success in uncovering sugar trust
frauds will be 100000. Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh has decided
on this figure after the cabinet meet
ing had discussed the matter. Parr
will get this sum absolutely sharing it
with no one, having no fees, discounts,
drawbacks or rake offs to distribute.
The manner in which it shall be paid
is yet to be determined. The secre-
tary of the treasury has available only
$4,000 from which to pay rewards of
this character. Either special ap-
preparation will have to be made by
congress to cover the sum or an agree
ment made with Parr to pay him off
on the installment plan. Parr is prac.
tically nervous wreck.

Country Trade Is Better.

New York City.-Bradstreet' says:
Warmer weather is the key to the
better crop and trade reports re
ceived last week from the West, north,
west and southwest, while cool, moist
conditions along the Atlantic coast
now disappearing have been bar to
trade and crop development in the
east. Relatively best reports come
from western cities and towns, while
country trade, though better. is slower
to respond owing to farmers being
busy in work on hitherto delayed
crops.

astrous than that which inundated
France six months ago is sweeping
central and eastern Europe. Already
the toll of dead is estimated at more

that between 400 and 300 persons have
lost their lives there, and that at least
twenty towns have suffered heavy

So It went all the way up to Twen-

1t is an interesting and noteworthy
fact that since the promulgation of the

is to simplify the formalities which are

That submarine vessels can make
extended trips is shown by recent
experience with the Viper, owned by
the United States, which, in command
of a midshipman, ran 4S7 miles, from
a point off the North Carolina coast to
Annapolis. Hitherto no such attempt
has been made OF course, the voyage
was made on the surface, as submar
ines dive only when such action is
considered necessary. But that the
Viper could go safely for such dis
tance, unaccompanied by any convoy,
is taken to show that such craft are
capable of more independent service
than was supposed.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON. May n, 1910.
The fight of the working classes from
comment for some years past, but now
the position in some Of the districts has
become acute. This is shown by COM
muncation from the local government
board to the Bermondsey borough coun-
Gil about the rehousing by the London
county council of persons displaced
through the making of the Rotherhithe
tunnel. The county council contended
that as there are SO many empty dwell
ings in the vicinity 1t should be relieved
Of it's rehOusin4 obligations. and the local
borough council has acquiesced In this
with good rea son. The borough council
has some dwellings of its own in the To-
cality but there are SO many empty ten
ements that this half year deficiency
rate Of one halfpenny in the pound had
to be levied to pay off the debts that
have accumulated since the dwellings,
have been open.
The county council too, has some
empty dwellings. The councils obliga-
tons were to rehouse 400 people, but al
ready there arc vacant accommodations
in the area for nearly thousand. 1t is
not a very bright prospect for local land
lords, but The same tale may be written
Of other districts. For example, at the
Elephant and Castle. a popular district
in South London, the Hale charity estate
has had to stop its annual grant to va
rtous charities in consequence. Yet ten
years ago there were always hundreds
of people on the books waiting for accom-
mediation, and the trustees could easily
get key money from prospective tenants.
