On the morning OF Thursday, Feb.
10th, His Grace Archbishop Munde-
lein was installed as Chancellor of the
Catholic Church Extension Society, in
the offices in the Mccormick Building.
Addresses were made by the Vice.
Chancellor Archbishop Messmer, Bish-
ops Muldoon, Busch, Gum, Lynch, etc.
In the evening the Chicago members
of the Board of Governors gave a ban
Quet to the new Chancellor, to which
representatives of the banks, railroads,
business organizations of all kinds,
professional men, etc, were invited.
1t was perhaps the most representative
gathering ever held in the city of Chi
cago. From out of town came twenty
five Archbishops and Bishops. The
entire expense attached to the banquet
was borne by the Chicago Life Men,
bers of the Society. After the soup
was served many of the guests showed
signs of illness. At first it was thought
that the illness was caused by pto-
maine poisoning; but the next night
Harry ]. Doherty, manager of the
University Club in which the banquet
was held, discovered that it was the
work OF an anarchist, who had been
employed for some months in the
culinary department Search is being
made for Jean Crones, the suspected
man. Since this discovery, the police
have found indications that the poi
soning was the result of plot which
may BE nationwide. The guests were
saved from death only because one
hundred extra plates had to be pro-
vided at the last minute: and, there
fore, the management was obliged to
add one-third more soup. The soup
which was added had not been poi.
soned. The consequence was that all
was diluted enough to save the lives
of the guests. Archbishop Mundelein
did not suffer from the poisoning at
all. On searching the room of the sus
pected poisoner, great quantities OF
anarchistic literature were discovered
together with a banner of the Junior
Order of American Mechanics. Crones
room was miniature drug store, con
tanning nearly hundred bottles oil
drugs of all kinds, six of which were
deadly poisons. For long time the
guests at the banquet were in a pain
full state of doubt. Physicians could
not take care of them properly, as nc
one knew what poison had been used
and all feared mercury. However, the
bottle which contained the mercurial
poison in Crones' room had scarcely
been touched, while the arsenic bottle
was empty. Three and three.fourths
grains of arsenic were found in each
pint of soup. Since no mercury was
found in the soup, there is no great
cause for worry on the part of the
guests as to future developments
Several of the guests were very sicl
for two or three days. The prompt &C
ton of several of the doctors, includ
ing Doctors Murphy, McKenna anl
Sullivan9 probably saved number o.
lives.
This terrible affair has had the effect
of opening the eyes of a great many
people in Chicago to the anarchisti<
danger that is constantly with us, az
we'll as to the serious consequences
that are following the anti Catholic
movement throughout the country
Had this plot succeeded, the foremos
men in the religious, commercial, pc
litical, financial and professional life
of Chicago, Protestant, Catholic ant
Jew, would have been murdered.

Learned Some Things from "know.
Nothings."

P. F. Scanlon in america tells the
things he learned at Guardian of
Liberty meeting: among these might
be mentioned that Protestant minis
tiers are actually advocating and pro-
noting bigotry. that Christianity is a
failure if it is to be judged by the
words of many ministers. that present
day society contains more intellectual
cripples than physical cripples, and
that there are more fools on earth
than one dreams Of"

Sugar Market

New York, November 29.-There was
little more activity noted in the market
for raw sugar today, but the demand was
for other than Cuban varieties, of which
1900 bags Perus were sold at Acc, c, i. f.,
in port, and $4,000 bags of Louisiana
sugars at SIC f. O. b. New Orleans. which
is about equal to 45sc for Cubas, cost
and freight, at which level holders were
still offering moderate quantities. The
close was steady at 45sc for Cubas, cost
and freight, equal to 5.64c for centrifu-
gal and 4.77c for molasses
No Improvement was noted in the mar
ket for refined sugar and prices re-
manned unchanged at 750c for graduated
which was quoted by all refiners, al
though some secondhand sugars were
available at 7.25c.
Futures were quite active and irregu-
lar There was extensive liquidations
early which caused net declines of to Z
points for active position, but in the aft
errloon there was a better active de-
mand, and on this covering which seemed
to be stimulated by the little better de-
mand for raws. prices rallied rather
sharply and closed / point lower to Z
net higher. Sales were 1880 tons. De-

COTTON MARKET IS
QUITE NERVOUS
General List Closed Steady,
Net Unchanged, to Is
Points Higher

New York, November 29.-The cotton
regular during today's trading as a re-
suit of further evening up for over the
holiday and the government reports ex-
pected during the earlier part of next
month. January sold as high as 20.5Oc
and as low as 2O.2sc, closing at 2O.SSc with
the general list closing very steady, net
unchanged to Is points higher.
The opening was somewhat irregular,
first prices being points lower to 6
points higher, but there was a good
deal of covering after the big break of
yesterday, while houses with Liverpool
connections were considerable buyers.
This demand sent prices about % to q
points above last nights close shortly
after the call, but coverings increased
around 20.56c for January and prices soon
weakened under a renewal of western
and Wall street liquidation which was
probably promoted by the unsettled rul-
ing of early grain and stock markets.
On a decline of about 20 to % points,
the pressure diminished and prices rail-
lied pretty sharply early in the afternoon
on covering and fresh buying inspired by
reports that private returns suggested a
ginning of only 635 600 bales for the Pc
riod ending tonight. For time the buy
ing was pretty active and prices worked
above the previous best level with March
selling at 20.S1c and May at 21c or about
rs to 20 points above last nights close
AS soon as the buying tapered off, how
ever, there was renewal of liquidation
for over the holiday tomorrow and the
market made the lowest point of the day
in the late trading with March selling
back to 20.50c and May to 2074c Clos
ing prices were to 10 points up from the
low est and the market was finally steady
on shorts covering. Reports as to the
spot situation were somewhat conflicting
but Liverpool said that a better business
was being done in the southern markets
and an idea that exporters had bought
hedged cotton was encouraged by some
covering of hedges around the local ring

DECLINE
UNDER LIQUIDATION
Spot Accounts Negative and
Leads to PAIRING Down of
Early Gains

New Orleans. November 2e.-Cotton
was nervous at the advance on this
morket today showing fitful strength
at times but falling off rather sharp
ly occasionally under liquidation, some
of which appeared TO be prompted by
the holiday tomorrow. Opening 1 to
points off on the most active months
the market gained about Is points in
the early trading and around noon
stood II to 20 points up. In the aft
erroon an easy undertone developed
and the close was at a net gain of
to 10 points.
One of the main bullish influences
Of the session was the rumor that
private bureau had Issued a forecast
of 100000 bales ginned during the pc
Rod about to end as compared to gin
nings on $4,000 bales during the cor
responding period last year. While
this rumor did not appear to have
very good foundation, the figures
seemed to fit in with bullish fancy
and the result was considerable buy
ing.
Political news viewed in a more
favorable light than yesterday which
resulted in less short selling, but spot
accounts were rather negative and the
decline of 10 points here was one of
the chief reasons for the pairing down
of the advance toward the close.

Chas. Fairchilds & Co.'S Letter

New York, November 29--The cot
ton market today was a rapid sue
cession of quick swings up and down.
At the closing, when prices were APP
parently on the verge of a further
sharp break, short covering caused a
rapid upturn of 10 or IL points. The
curb was a couple of points higher
than the official closing. Liverpool to-
morrow is due Ak to 6 points lower,
All American markets will be closed
If no unfavorable incidents, polit-
ically or otherwise, occur over tomor-
rows holiday, we are likely to see
some advance at Fridays opening
However. sentiment is more or less
divided as to the course OF the mar
ket Prominent interests are said to
believe in break in prices. Bulls are
not lacking in number, but are not
acting in concert or to the extent
recently witnessed This, in part, may
account for the erratic aid and quick
swings so often seen nowadays. On
any quick break Friday we think pur-
chases advisable. However, profits on

SALES SEND
WHEAT PRICES Up
Market Stimulated BY AS
sertion That President
Disapproved Embargo

Chicago, November 29.-Fairly large ex-
port sales and positive assertion that
President Wilson would communicate to
Congress a disapproval of any embargo
on foodstuffs were responsible in the main
for an uplift today in the value of wheat.
The market closed strong. isc to sac net
higher, with December at 1854 and May
at s1.77z to 1.771b Corn finished &c to
nc up and oats %c to 1901 .115c. In pro-
visions the outcome ranged from 71kc de-
cline to a rise of 121ac.
Estimates of 100000 bushels as the
amount Of new export business in wheat
were current, but these figures were final
ly reduced to 100000 bushels in the last
As hours, with only 100000 bushels actually
disposed of to Europe today. The slim
ulating effect on bull traders however
was measured chiefly by the contrast af-
forded to the prospect yesterday, when
indications pointed to a serious stoppage
of sales for ocean shipments. Definite
confirmation of the statement in regard
to President Wilson'S course as to an
embargo was lacking, but this crcum-
stance did not prevent the bulls from
making all the capital possible out of
gossip as it stood. The result was that
Notwithstanding much forced selling earlv
and heavy profit taking by more fortu-
nate holders later, the market had a gen.
eral upward slant the greater part of
the session.
Only moderate deliveries are expected
on December contracts Friday. The
liquidation of the December option con-
tinued today and sent the discount for
December to DC under May, the widest
so far this season.
Corn rose with wheat. Besides there
were shipping sales of 100000 bushels, not
withstanding railroad embargoes. The
scantiness of rural offerings tended also
to give the market a lift. Oats merely
reflected the changes in other cereals.
Shorts seemed to take to cover with I'M
usual readiness.
Provisions were depressed by a severe
break in the price of hogs. Belgian re-
lief purchases, however, acted later as
something of an offset.
