were subpoenaed to produce books and
records in the proceedings against
James A. Patten, Frank b. Hayne,
William A. Brown and other members
of the alleged bull pool have notified
agents of the attorney general that
they will not disclose records of their
transactions with customers. They
consider these records privileged. Mr..
Hayne and Mr.. Brown, both of whom
are members of the Cotton Exchange,
are considering retaining j. c. Spooner,
formerly United States senator from
Wisconsin, to resist the government ef-
forts to procure the books.
Mr.. Patten has Informed United
States District Attorney Wise that he
is ready to appear before him or any
other official and furnish any infor-
nation which may be desired. Mr..
Patten, who is not a member of the

show TO the governments agents all
records of transactions with him. The
brokers did so two or three days ago.

London, May 12.-The controversy

ture has not yet been reached. The
various Protestant societies in the
United Kingdom, the number of which
is surprising, are hastily buckling on
their armOr, eager for the clamor and
dust of the pelOmic lists.
Catholics urge that the king in max
ing his declaration to parliament could
proclaim himself a Protestant without
insulting the pope with reference to
"idolatrous and superstitious Rome"
Protestants insist that nothing must
be undOne which makes England en-
phatically a Protestant nation.
Father Bernard Vaughan, a famous
preacher, brother of the late Cardinal
Vaughan, speaking at Aberdare, de-
scribed the accession declaration as
having been drawn up in moment Of

The Lesson of the Figures

Statistics of exports and imports for
the ten months ended October 81, show
a decided turn for the better from the
condition that was revealed for August
81, when the balance of trade was
against us to the amount of more than a
million.
In September, exports increased more
than $34 100000 over those of August,
while imports showed decrease of more
than $21, 100000 from the previous
month.
In October, exports increased more
than $39, 100000 over those of Septem-
ber while imports increased less than
$7,OOO000.
Thus the totals for ten months stand:
Exports, 81 ,43O, 1884, 543; imports, ST.
296,226,777.
These figures are comparable with
81, 361, 722,253 exports for the CORE
spending period OF 1909, and $1,196.
267, 7O7 imports.
The excess of exports over imports for
the ten months of this year is $134,7
766; for the corresponding ten months
of last year it was $l65, Asa 346.
This decrease in the balance of trade in
for the period increased 500, 959,O7O,
while exports increased only SOS, 1862
300.
II the recovery that has recently set in
is but partly maintained, there is good
prospect that the end of the fiscal year,
June 80, 1911, will find us again with
fairly good balance of foreign trade.
This is encouraging, but at the same
time the years record is sufficient
warning against the danger OF tariff re-
duction. The present expansion of i'm
ports is about all that this country can
stand and remain prosperous.
In the years from 1905 to 1910, inn
ports for the n.months period have
increased from $979,717, 437 to ST,
296, 226,777, or 1916, 500, $40. Exports
increased from $1,255, 1924, 1854 to ST.
430, 1884, 543 or only STA, 060,1S9.
The lesson OF the figures is obvious.

mercantile business. In the reign of Ur-
ban Woodbury. as king of Vermont, II.
Energetic started up business for HIM
self, and while he dispensed soap, sugar.
dried apples and nails ne longed to branch
out and accordingly took up the sale of
lumber Howard lives in the tall timber
belt and as he can tell the number of
thousand feet of lumber in the butt of q
pine by tasting the pitch he has proved
success in selling lumber. Then he makes
and sells butter boxes. Besides the but

three or four warehouses in his own town
and III Tom Cheney's Villdge-on-the-
Lamoile. He hasn't dipped into politics
| very strong as his political faith isn't of
the sort that gsts heavy drag in Stowe.
However,. Howard e. is the kind of a
! man who can win against combinations.
He is the frankest sort of fellow and
one doesn't have to discount what he
says. He has been school director and
town auditor and this year as representa-
tive to the gatE ering of wise ones at
Montpelier Howard Energetic Shaw is
getting bit OF insight into the way laws
are not made.
Shaw is one of the boosteries of the
snow belt. He deals exclusively in YER
mont products outside of his regular line
OF merchandise. He is one of the men in
Vermont whom the potato merchants in
the cities know. They know that this
energetic Vermont merchant can ship
| them carload of tubers as quickly as
the goods can be loaded, That's special
! ty OF Howard E. Shaw-potatoes. Then
, he sells maple sugar. If you should
want ton or 100 tons of maple sugar
| this very minute Howard K. Shaw is the
man who can fill your order just as fast
as it can be packed. He deals in maple
products and what he doesn't know about
sugar isn't of great value. You can't
palm any parafine-gl ucose trick off on Ii.
J Energetic. Not bit of it.
Shaw has been going to Montpelier
periodically for the past 80 years and he
has speaking acquaintance with a big
bunch of fellows who have sat in the halls
of the mighty in years past. Also he
knows who many of The wise men will be
Of the future. Howard belongs to the fish
and game league of Vermont. 1t would
be considered poor form for Stowe not to
be member of that organization. Then
Shaw has been decorated with degrees in
other exalted orders. He lives in small
town back among the hills but he can
get down to brass tacks when it comes to
discussing ways and means.
Howard e. Shaw is 43 years old and
one OF the citizens that Stowe has every
re son to be proud Of He married
Stowe girl and they have a 14-year-old
son and a 12-year-old daughter. Shaw
and his family are Vermont products
that give to the state standing whenever
exhibited. He will probably al ways live
in Stowe for he has cozy home and is
making money.
