Arthur Cutten Makes
Profit of $1,500,0O0
In Corn and Wheat

CHICAGO, July 15.-Profits of be-
tween $1,500,0O0 and $1,S00,000 are
estimated by brokers to have been
made by Arthur w. Cutten, Chicago
grain merchant, in sale of the
last $1,000 bushels of a big hold
ing Of July corn at around $1.10
in addition to large profits on recent
wheat advances Of from zoe to Csc
a bushel in the Chicago and Winni-
peg markets.
James A. Patten, whose attempts
to corner wheat, corn, oats and cot
ton, have made him famous and
brought him fortunes, is also report
ed to have reaped considerable prof
it's through recent disposal of 2,000,-
600 bushels of oats purchased in
May, when dealers predicted big
losses!
Cash corn yesterday sold for $1.13,
a cent less than last years high
point, while July corn was quoted at
$1.10. The recent jump Of corn Of
40c caused Cutten's profits, brokers
say. July wheat reached the high
est mark of the season with $1.23 IL
in Chicago and $1.32 in Winnipeg.
A month ago, Mr.. Cutten predict
ed corn would reach 81 a bushel be-
fore the end of July. He persisted
in this belief and wet weather.
which retarded the crop, indicated
his judgment. Despite the fact that
he took large losses in May when he
was compelled to pay for 1000, 900
bushels of cash corn bought on con-
tracts for May delivery, he continued
his trading.

The stock market is controlled

~ AFTER MALE COMPANIONS DIE
Woman S Body Found
In River at Richmond;
Missing Baby Hunted

RICHMOND, Va, July 15.-The
body of Mrs. John B. Christian, wife
of merchandise brokeL here. was
found in the James river and Ka-
nIwha canal this morning, after an
alLn;ght search by Richmond and
Renricc county police.
The authorities were unable to
find any trace of Mrs. Christian
infant, who wa carried by the moth
er wren she lef. hcr home yesterday
&Gtl moon.
Search for the mother and her in
FAINT was started late last night
when Mrs. Christian failed to return
to her home. Her steps were traced
by blOodhounds from the house to
the banks of the old canal and when
it was apparent to the officers that
the woman had entered the canal,
the water was drained and the body
found on the bottom.
There still is enough water in the
canal to hide the body of the six
months-Old child and the officers are
continuing the search in the belief
that the baby went to its death with
the mother.
There were no marks on Mrs.
Christians body to indicate she hao
been murdered and police and rela-
tives said they were convinced the
woman had drowned herself and
probably her infant. The police were
so firm in their belief that they
turned the body over to the rela-
tives, declaring: Its not case for
the coroner"
Relatives of Mrs. Christians said
she had suffered a nervous break
down recently following the illness
of her children, s, s and 3 years Of

'HEADLESS MARINE
DROWNED AS he
TRIED To DESERT

SAVANNAH, Ga, July 1.-THE
mystery of the ''headless marine"
found on Horse island. in Beaufort
county, South Carolina, by a negro
fisherman several days ago, has been
solved. A board of inquest sitting at
the Paris Island marine barracks
has declared the man, Private Aaron
Fredericksen, Of Orchard Garden,
Mimi, met his death by drowning
while attempting to desert.
The board Of marine officers also
held that PriVates Counts and Will
liams, who attempted to desert with
t'redericksen, are in no way re-
sponsible for his death, but that it
was caused "by his own misconduct
while trying to desert"
This announcement was made to
the Savannah Press today over long
distance telephone by an officer at
the marine barracks at Paris Island.
On June % Privates Counts and
Williams were arrested in Beaufort
county for attempting to desert from
the marine barracks. They swan

racks. When arrested they stated
that Fredericksen had also attempt
ed to desert, but had gone down on
the way across. They believed he
had drowned.
On June 80 the headless body OF
a man was found on Horse Island
where he had been washed up by
the water. A search to find the
head was futile. Reports that the
head had been severed with a sharp
instrument are incorrect, according
to the officer that gave out the in

was badly decomposed and had been
badly mutilated by fish and vultures.
Privates Counts and Williams
