MONDAY

New York. April 0.-(Special )-Profits to the value of nearly s32O, 900 were shown today by careful calculations of the work of James J. Patten of Chicago and his associates in the great bull clique, which has manipulated May cotton almost to the exclusion of everyone else, and, vic torious in deals for 100000 bales, is now turning its attention to buying all of July cotton that is offered.
 MT. Patten Is believed to have carried in his own name about one-half of the May cotton handled by the bull crowd, and his individual profits were estimated today at approximately $l60,o0o. The cot ton was taken over at 14.50 cents and to- day the price had risen to 14S S2 cents, the closing price for May on the exchange
 The buying of July cotton by the bull crowd gave the shorts a shiver. and the price for July was driven up from IA 61 cents when Patten and his associates began to buy, to IA. 65 cents, at,the close of the market It was predicted s'9 Wall street that the real pineh in cotton would be felt in July. but shorts we're making every effort to cover.

EXCITEMENT OVER
 ROOSEVELT VISIT

London, April So-(special.) seems odd that the visit of Theodore Roosevelt should have an effect on British politics. but it does. It became known today that King Edward has insisted that some compromise shall be made between the commons and the lords, which will pre- vent general election in the immediate future.
 In reaching his decision adverse to an election in June or July. it is said he was moved principally by the flood of protests received indirectly from the London shopkeepers, dismayed at the idea of another election upset In their best trading season and this. too, during the height of the excitement over the Roose- welt visit.
 It Is not much to say that the appear ance of Mr. Roosevelt will cut a far larger figure in the fashionable life of London than would that Of any crowned head and on this account the influx of Americans is expected to be 50 per cent greater than ever before. As the tradesmen have been counting upon big stimulant from the "Roose- welt factor" the King. who invariably gives all the help in his power to the West End retailers, is not likely to fai them now.
 He has dropped hint to MT. Asquith and already the shoplleepers are cheerina for Good Old Edward"

IMMENSE PROFITS FOR PATTEN
 IN THE MAY COTTON FURRY

the cotton are, besides Patten, Eugene Scales of Texas, and William P Brown and Frank Hayne of New Orleans. MT. Hayne and MT Brown started the buy ing of July cotton at the opening of the cotton market today.
 The WI the street figures it is that the onlyE question with which the bull crcwd wi have to deal at this time Is how to gI rid of thousands of bales of May purS iase. About 5000 bales were oroered ipped from New York ware houses Ysterday. Today MT. 'Patten announced he had made arrangements to ship 450OO to Great Britain at once, and he said he expected the remaining 100000 bales would be taken over by American and foreign spinners.
 "They should have no difficulty in get ting hold of the cotton at fair price, said MT. Patten.
 The charges for carrying the immense supplies of cotton amount to nearly s300o daily, and for this reason alone the bull clique will endeavor to dispose of their holdings at the earliest moment. These charges will be reduced from May l hawever, In view of the cotton already disposed of by Mir. Patten and his asso- ciates.
 Mr Patten said today that he believed the new crop in October would prove shorter than had been anticipated.

TAFT SAYS HE IS
 NOT A POLITICIAN

Buffalo, N. Y, April 30.-(Special.) .)-Be-
 fore leaving for Pittsburg tonight Pres-
 ident Taft gave out the word that he
 is not politician; at least, not judi
 cial politician. He had been asked what effect the election of democratic congress-
 men would have on the future elections this year.
 q am not and never have been enough of politician to give judgment on such
 matter" said he. Asked if he thought the complexion of the House of Representatives would be changed. he answered well, we must all take the burdens the Lord wishes to impose upon us. But I am not in Buffalo to talk national is- sues; am here to talk local matters Speaking of Governor Hughes, Presi- dent Taft said:
 When I talked with him at Albany
 he told me he would not be candi- date for governor again and when a man like Hughes makes up his mind there is no use trying to get him to change 1t. When the position on the supreme bench was offered him knew he did not aspire to succeed himself. President Taft said that his views or the tariff and other national issues had not changed.

 and great man."
 MT. Roosevelt's enormous mail todd V contained another tribute to this senti. rent. A German tailor wrote. sayin g that an American owed him a bill. Wouldn't the colonel see that his coun- u yman paid up? The same mail brought Q charming letter from Vincennes from @ cavalryman of the Second squadron of dragons. It read:
 This is a picture of the horse Po- rino, which you rode in the maneuvers ii.e other day We are very proud of tho honor and the squadron will never forget you.'
 The colonel was so well pleased that ho intends to send an autograph ed photo of himself in the uniform of 8 colonel of the Rough Riders. The strain of the rush of entertain nlGnt is telling upon the colonel. I1naceforth, as today, the programme Is

Morningstar ran out with an unfinished
count of 2. and averaged 16 1924.
Hopes average was Is 1928.
Neither expert was at his best, this
being especially true in the case of
Hoppe. The feature of the night was
Mirningstar's run of 129 in the sixth
inning. During this feat he showed
some splendid judgment in open-table
shots and his ability to bring the
worries together was remarkable. This
put him in the lead. 16s to 95, at that
stage of the game
Towards the end of the block
Hoppe, who had been trailing for sew
eral innings. gave a flash of his old
time form by gathering SO points In
his ninteenth inning, making the count
! at that stage $50 to 353 in favor OF
Morningstar. Both men grew nervous
and points came slowly until the TWEEN
ty-second, when Mirningstar gathered
2T, putting him within two points OF
victory. Hoppe then drew a zero
needing thirty-sfx points to win, and
Morningstar followed suit. Hoppe was
left a difficult stroke. which he missed
and Morningstar had an easy position
running out with no difficulty.
