ATTORNEY GENERAL WICKER
SHAM ORDERS INQUIRY.
UNPRECEDENT
James A. Patten, Frank 3. Haynes,
William p. Brown and Eugene
Scales Have Been Named
by Popular Gossip.

Chicago, nl-There will be started
vestigation without precedent in this
country The attorney general Of the
United States has ordered an iqnuiry
into the gigantic bull movement in
cotton with which the names of James
A. Patten of Chicago, Frank B. Hayne,
William P. Brown of New Orleans. and
Eugene Scales of Texas have been
popularity connected.
Hayne and Brown both appear as
defendants in the proceedings, but it
could not be learned whether Mr. Pat
ten will be subpoenaed at Chicago to
come here and testify. He has been
generally credited, however, with be-
ing the financial genius of the pool
and in recent interviews he has out
lined his bullish position and his de-
termination to fight the supposed bear
clique which has been reshipping cot
ton to this country from England in
an endeavor to break the market.
The bull movement has reached such
a stage, however, that there are ru-
mors of possible May corner in the
New York market. Never before has
the government brought similar action
against a pool operating in the mar
ket on either the long or the short
side. Meager were the details of the
proposed inquiry available today
Subpoenas were issued at the direction
Of Mr.. Wickersham commanding a
dozen or more brokers to appear be-
fore a federal grand jury tomorrow
to testify against Frank B. Haynes
and VIM. P. Brown.
Announcement of the governments
action was followed by an excited
break in prices on the New York ex-
change which at one time bid fair
to rise in almost as great demorali-
zation as that noted last January
Early in April the market had a Sc
we're break under heavy liquidation,
and at that time there were rumors
circulating that the bulls were aban-
doning their position, but a consider
able recovery in prices since then
suggested the selling had been large
ly in the way of outside liquidation
and during the last week or ten days
there have been renewed rumors OF
an impending squeeze. The position
in the near month, at any rate, has
led to heavy shipments of cotton to
New York for delivery on contract
and the arrivals reported today are in
excess of $4,000 bales, including nearly
$4,000 bales from Liverpool, while the
stock of cotton available for delivery
on contract has already increased
from about $1,000 bales to 10000
bales

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

81 am a man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
so that could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that 1 could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. 1 could get nothing to do any
good till got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time 1 began to use them my hands
we're all healed up and they have not
been mite, sore since. I would not

Good Law That Should Be Enforced.

Good Law That Should Be Enforced.
Anticipating ordinances, laws and
regulations in more than fve-eighths
of the cities and towns of the country
are not enforced as they should be,
alleges the National Association for
the Study of tuberculosis in recent
report. While most of the larger cities
of the United States have such laws
on their books, in the great majority
of cases they are ignored or over
looked. The report covers in detail
the enforcement of the anti-spitting
ordinances in 80 of the largest cities
in the country. During the year 1909
in these 80 cities, 3,421 arrests were
made for violation of the laws regard
ing splitting in public places. Over
1900 convictions were secured and
$4,100.87 was collected in fines.
