Several Matters Asked Of by

Washington, March 1.---Gifford Pin

Wilson clashed today dramatically
before the Ballinger-Pincho inyesti
CATION committee this afternoon,
Pinchot asserted that he secured
Secretary Wilson's permission to
write to Senator DollIyer.
Secretary Wilson, taxing the stand
declared with great emphasis that he
never did and never would have con-

Pinchot declared that he discussed
the matter at length with Secretary

Secretary Wilson asserted that
while he had given Pinchot permis-

Under cross-examination, almost
wholly by Democratic members OF
the committee, Wilson was uncertain
as to just what had passed between

somewhat mixed at times as to just
what letters the committeeman were
referring to in their rapid fire OF
questions. The secretary reiterated
that he never saw or heard of the.
letter Pinehot wrote until II was read
Pinchot had been reluctant to testify
to anything that would bring con

he had served for twelve years, but
the committee insisted that he -..ould
go into the matter.
Pinchot declared that he and Will

added that the secretary said: "You

order"
Admitting that his memory failed
as to certain points, Secretary Wilson
always cam back to the statement
that he never r::..t.er any C.rcEin-
stances have given Pinchot permis-
sion to write the letter which caused
his separation from the service.
The secretary said he urged Pin
chot not to carry out his purpose to

WHEAT KING AND COTTON MON.
ARCH DECLARES HE is
GOING TO- QUIT.
OTHERS WILL RETIRE
Leaving Large Firm to Young Men
Patten Declares He viii Enjoy
Some Of the Money He
Has Made.

Chicago, March 1T have made
enough money; | am going to quit
These words, spoken by James A
Patten. wheat king and cotton mon
arch. came as the explosion Of q
bombshell at the close of business on
the board of trade today. Mr. Patten
supplemented his announcement by
saying that he would retire from ac.
tive business July /, and that with
him would retire w. H. Bartlett, head
Of the firm Bartlett, Patten e Co., and
George w. Patten, brother of James
A, Patten, and another member of
the firm. The aggregate wealth OF
the three is yariously estimated at
between $20,00o,000 and $35,000,000.
The house of Bartlett, Patten &
Co., will be reorganized and the
younger members OF the firm will
carry on the business as at present,
with capital left in the membership
by the three men now about to re-
tire. The tremendous influence that
James A. Paten has exerted on the
grain and cotton markets of the
world will be felt no more.
Bartlett and my brother also have
enough money. We've been busy
making it, now we are going to en-.
joy it," added the senior Patten.
Will Go to Europe.
This set speculation astir around
the board OF trade as to how much
money the two Patten brothers and
NJ II. Bartlett have made out Of
their various deals.
James "A. Patten and w. Fl. Bart
lett are each worth from $S,000,O00
to $12,000,000, and George A. Patten
is worth anywhere from $5,000,000 to
$40, 100000" was the concensus of
opinion as to the wealth of the three
soon to retire. although each one
who discussed 1t admitted that he was
merely guessing.
Mr.. Patten will sail for Europe for
a short trip within few days, but
he will return In time to unite with
all his partners in arranging for the
withdrawal of the three who say
they are through with the market
and of the capital which they will
take with them out of the company.
I'VE are getting along in years"
said Mr.. .Patten in discussing his pro
posed retirement and we have all
made our fortunes. Each of us three
has as. much money as he needs so
why should we keep on amassing it?"
viii Enjoy Money.
"Mr. Bartlett has a special reason
for wanting to retire, inasmuch as he
has never fully recovered from his
injury incurred when his horse threw
him seyral months ago on his ranch
In New Mexico. He has felt his re.
sponsibilities pretty heavily lately
and has wanted to be relieved from
the necessity Of remaining around the
office keeping an eye on things.
my brother has not been in the
best of health for the last few years,
| myself feel that am getting on in
years. SO we decided to step out,
we old fellows, and give the young
men in the firm chance
I'VE will reorganize the firm,A leav.
ing in the company \ Golfers just
enough capital to enable the younger
members to transact business as be-
fore. and we will withdraw our own
personal shares. We will neither of
us engage in active business again,
but rest and spend our money, en-
joying the comforts it will bring us.
My trip to Europe has nothing to d.
with business"

The opening of the college year adds
considerably to the population of

social and athletic activities in which
the town and college have common
interest, says the Brunswick Record.
That the relations between the town
and college are friendly and cordial is
matter for congratulation on both
sides. The influence of the faculty and
students of Bowdoin upon the life of
the town is beneficial in many direc-
