GAMBLING ON THE FuTuRE

A man in Chicago who is nov credited with possessing remarkable precedence, has made" more than q million and half dollars within | few weeks by buying corn.
 His scheme consisted in taking note of the spring weather moi only by day but what the weather bureau forecast cd.
 The western spring, he learned would bo wet and cool. He figured that this kind of weather would in- jure the corn crop. reduce production and increase prices He bought large holdings" as the grain men call it. and held on until the price advanced, It did. every time it went lip few points he grew richer. He is still holding on. expecting to make" a few hundred thousand more within week or so.
 One hears Of this person because his guess happened to be the cor rect one. Had he guessed wrong, as many slan has done before him. this person would have gone bank rupt.
 In New York some interests have been quietly buying up New Haven railroad stock. It has been a long time since anybody attempted to &C., cumulate much of this brand of se- curitics, but it is being done. Another case of good guessing. The New Haven securities cannot remain in the hole forever, and when they rise the per sons who bought them whens they were low i'll naturally profit. They will make lots of money and will be called lucky.
 It is the unfortunates who bought 1 these securities when they were high | who are unlucky.

WIRE PAPERS TAP
 INVENTORIES PHONE
Famous Pluneer Tells of Theft Of
 Private Information

New York, July 1S.-Charges that private wires leading from his office in upper Fifth Avenue to the offices of several brokers have been tapped lately, were made by Jesse l.. Liver more, famous plunger of Wall street, in a statement appearing today in the New York World in which he denied rumors that he had suffered heavy losses recently in his specuations.
 As a result of the alleged wire tap ping, much information of a valuable and confidential nature has been ob- tained by persons for whom it was not intended, Livermore asserted. He said the rumors that he had suffered heavy losses were laughable.
 The report that I have suffered losses, particularly in American Can Co. stock" he said, lis obviously due to certain interests that are trying to manipulate that stock. I have not lost dollar in American Can, to say nothing of several millions. I haven't even been in American Can since last winter, when I was at Palm Beach. At that time I did have small loss in American Cannot more than $120, ,000-atter a two days flyer in it.

it, when grain Is moving through a range of from 10 to IS cents week, when can trade in that in volume and get in and out in Il short time? The stock market today offers none of these advantages. r
 'The stock market is controlled by cliques who are manipulating special stocks. There is no general public interest I think this is due to the fact that money is cheap today. Busi- ness conditions are poor, and you can't get the general public interested when they are.
 "On the other hand, the grain mar ket is at present worldwide affair. It is so big that no man and no group of men can control it or have any in- fluence upon it. This is on account of the short crops all over the world.

\ COFFEE REVOLT

Brazil has been having revolution in Sac Paulo, one of it's most import ant provinces. but it is not due to the Brazilian government that the facts are known to American newspaper readers.
 Brazil is governed by class of politicians and pseudo o-statesmen who mistakenly think that general knowl- edge of situation will tend to injure their chances of controlling it. This has never proven efficacious where tried. The reaction usually makes the trouble appear worse than it ac- tually is.
 We now know that federals she'll ed the cit yof Sac Paulo, killing and injuring hundreds. if not thousands of innocent people who had nothing to do with the revolution. As a re- suit the city began sympathizing and aiding the rebels, and the federals were subject to serious setback.
 The cause for the Brazilian revolt 1t not quite clear, but there is evil dence that it is based upon commer- merciat disagreements over the man. agement of the coffee industry. British fnanciers have invested heavily in the Brazilian coffee crop, stipulating that the outgo of coffee into the worlds markets be regulated and storing mill lions of bags of coffee in England for this purpose. The worlds greatest market, the United States, was to pay the profits on the deal by paying the prices fixed by the English mtldle- men and tinanciers. But the pros- perity of Sac Paulo evidently suffered greatly and the instruction followed.
 Which goes to show that majority Of modern national ills are based upon economies. Uncivilizcd tribes formerly fought over choice hunting grounds; civilized tribes still al times fight over business, although sweet-soundns phrases are often given to cover up the actual motives,

A BOY STOOL PIGEON

Police of Mcriden defend their &C.,
 ton in employing a 15year-old boy
 as stool pigeon to ferret out sup
 posed liquor law violators. The father
 of the youth, who lives in Hartford, indignantly called at the office of the
 Meriden police when he heard of his
 sons employment, but got small satis-
 faction. The police say the youth rep
 resented himself as 20 years old, and
 was reported by police to have been
 well qualified for the job.
 From this distance it appears that it would be difficult for youth of 15 years to represent himself as being | 20 and be credited by a wide awake police department. Employing a boy | for stool pigeon purposes especially the kind of stool pigeon work demand ed of him in Meriden, seems like going a little too far.
 The police of Meriden may be cor rect in their diagnosis that the em- ployment of agents is the only method to eliminate resorts and speakeasies who violate the law; but that isn't the point at issue. The argument is that a boy was employed for the purpose, without due regard, if any. for his 1a l,i partment.
 The police of Mcridcn say that drinking places of the old-time saloon type have been cleared out, but it was necessary to continue the campaign against illicit liquor selling in cheap restaurants, grocery store back rooms and in tenement houses. It was for this purpose that the Hartford youth was employed, after he had told police he was conversant with places where poisoned liquor was being sold
 The police say it is necessary to obtain complaints or actual knowledge of violations before search and seizure warrant is justified Here the | value Of police agents-or stool 1 pigeons-comes into play, and as de- pictcd by the Meriden police the | scheme appears unobiectionabIc if the | right kind of pcrson--not a boy Is employed. The stool pigeon confirms | regarding the sale of liquor, then the search warrant fol- ows-and also the arrests. The stool pigeons evidence as rule cannot .onvict without corroboratoin.
