PAITEN HooTED OFF EXCHANGE
Followed Through Manchester Streets
Until Rescued by Police.

London, March 11.-James A. Pat
ten, the Chicago speculator who
came to England, as he said, "to look
around" had occasion to look sharp
ly to-day from the moment he appear
ed on the floor of the Cotton Ex-
change at Manchester. His appear
ance was the signal for hostile
demonstration, which resulted in his
forcible election from the exchange,
flight through the streets from a
mob that was prevented only by the
police from doing him serious harm.
Patten was hidden for while in 6.

into cab and driven to more Sc
cure refuge.
Patterns coming to Manchester had
been widely heralded since his ART
val in Liverpool, and the reception
was ready for him. There are per-
sons In Manchester who were squcez-
ed In the Patten rise in the price of
cotton last year, and they have nei-
ther forgotten nor forgiven the man
who at times has forced the price of
cotton and grain to new figures.
The business Of the exchange was
suspended and hundreds Of men left
the pit and followed the speculator
into Bank street, where another big
crowd was soon assembled At this
point the visitor had a reception even
more riotous than that which greeted
him within the exchange.
The mob hurled epithets and a
hundred fists were shaken at Patten
who turned deathly pale as the
threatening crowd pressed closely
and seemed on the point Of person.
ally assaulting him. At critical
moment strong force of police ar
rived and, forcing their way through
,, the rioters, surrounded Patten and
| hustled him into an office and out
the back door into cab, in which
he was hurriedly driven to a railroad
station. He took the first train for
Liverpool.
Patterns connection with the rise

BUSINESS MEMS MEETING.
Matter Of Improving Roads Was
Taken Up by Body.

At the meeting Of the Business
Mems League last Friday night the
matter Of improving roads was taken
up and discussed at length. The
road leading to Westminster came in
for first consideration, and it was
decided that the Importance OF this
road and its present bad condition
made 1t imperative to give 1t imme-
d1ate attention. A committee was
appointed, consisting Of five men,
bers, TO confer with the Westminster
Board OF Trade, asking that body to
appoint similar committee for con-
ference with the County Commission
crS. The committee consists of w. NJ.
Brown, president of the Business
Mems League, chairman; w. c..
Hughs, r. II. Jaynes, A. p. Crisp and
w. l.. Werner.
1t was the general opinion of the
members Of the league that this road
should be widencd to 80 feet and put
into such condition as to make It a
model road. The citizens Of West
minister have intimated that they will
improve the road from Westminster
to Conner creek and the confer
ence between the Board Of Trade of
that place and the Business Mems
League Of Walhalla will have as it's
object the making Of plans and agree
ing upon a system for the road so
that 1t will be uniform in all re-
spects the entire distance 1T Is
hoped to secure the cooperation OF
the county officials to the extent that
they will erect permanent bridge,
sufficiently high to be above any pos
Sibility or high water. 1t is thought
n n a 1nt tn1y
slight changes will have to be made
in the road at one or two places in
order to get good grade The
changes, however, will not be mate
rial.
Other propositions in regard to
better roads will be taken up by the
league as soon as this one Is we'll in
hand, the details settled and work
under way.
Another matter taken up was that
In regard to the graded school build
ing. An auditorium Is badly need
ed now that the school Is under the
control Of the district and the num-
Der of pupils has greatly increased.
Although the building and equip
ment cost the town $4,000, 1t was
thought that the town would be will
ing to release the property to the
district provided the district will is
sue bonds to the amount Of $4,000,
one-half of the issue being for the
purpose Of retiring the $4,000 Of
school bonds outstanding, and the
other for the erection of the audito-
rum. A petition to the freehold
ers and tax payers OF the district y as
authorized to be circulated and a
committee appointed to have charge
OF this work, the committee being
composed as follows: w. l.. Werner,
chairman; A. p. Crisp and D. A..
Smith.
The possibility Of getting a gravity
water system was brought before the
league. This is a proposition that
has scarcely taken shape as yet, but
the outline Of such project for early
naturalization has been started, and
1t Is hoped will take some definite
shape In the near future. The pro-
position includes both our sister
towns Of Westminster and Seneca
within its scope. This project will
be ready for more minute considera-
tion, 1t is hoped, Within the next two
weeks.

Commissioner Bangerter said that if
the state law was enforced it would
do away with all cause for complaint.
This limits speed to eight miles an
hour at all street crossings, which
makes it impossible TO go much faster
between crossings, and also require
that lights be lit, mufflers used, and
all other precautions taken.
