JAMES A. PATTEN,
WHEAT KING, DIES
Famous Market Manipulation
Victim of Pneumonia at
Evanston Home.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 8.-James A.
Patten, 76-year-old retired wheat
king" died today at his home in Evans
ton, Ill, of pneumonia.
Although confined to his bed since
November 80, the serious nature of his
illness was not discovered until last
night. His widow. his son Jack and
three physicians were at the bedside
when he died.
Almost coincident with the death of
the aged financier the Chicago Board
of Trade abandoned the old building
and the pits in which he gained his
fortune and sent his fame wide and
far by his spectacular dealings in wheat,
corn and oats
Born on Prairie Farm.
Born on an Illinois prairie farm, Mr..
Patten knew grain at its source from
the time he learned to walk. In his
early twentieS he became familiar with
the machinery of the pit after saving
few dollars from a meager farm salary.
He built his fortune through the
period when the pit called for fast
thinking and he never wavered from
set standard of business principles,
which, with other things, barred
RdIuU1llSs ~
"A gambler is a man who creates
the unimportant risks" he once said.
"a speculator is man who assumes
risks that already exist"
He was impressed by the honesty of
the men In the pit and Immediately
patient with what he called "tinkering
demagogueS," who threatened outside
control or meddling.
ENCOURAGED Thrift,
Maintaining Stanch views on char
acter Mr.. Patten insisted that young
men in his employ save at least half
of their salary, regardless of amount,
and he never allowed heads of depart
mentS in his business to be seen in
saloons.
Starting as a speculator in the late
seventies, Mr.. Patten bought "calls" in /
the corn market with $2,500, his entire
savings. He closed out with a profit of
$25,000. The money was quickly REIN
vested and it multiplied several times
over. BY 1890 he was recognized
leader in the grain pits.
In an attempt to corner the wheat
market in 1909 he bought 10000, 900
bushels of wheat. The scheme was
wrecked by publicity In 1910 he engi-
neered cotton corner" with others,
which resulted in huge profits and a
fine Of $4,000 for violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Patten was reputed to have given
most of his wealth to philanthropic and
educational enterprises, of which North
western University was the chief bene-
f1ciary. He gave the school $1,500,000
and built gymnasium, which is named
for him.
Evening star., 1928-12-09
Name Widely Known.

Mr.. Patterns name was known
wherever the great staple crops of the
world are marketed.
How much of his millions remains
Is problematical, for Patten was re-
puted to have given most of his
wealth to philanthropic, educational
and charitable enterprises. Once he
declared that all of his income, above
what he needed to support his fam
lily, was thus distributed.
Patten was born at Freeland Cor
ners, Ill, May 8, 1852, the son of
Alexander r. and Agnes (Beyeridge)
Patten. The first 20 years of his life
were spent there in the heart of the
Illinois prairies. ~
From 1869 to 1871 he clerked in a
country store and from 1871 to 1874
worked on his grandfathers farm In
1874 he went to Chicago and during
the next four years gathered his ed
ucation in grain marketing as an in
spector in the State grain inspection
department. From 1878 to 1880 he
was employed in a brokerage firm,
and In 1880 made his first venture in
business, in partnership with his
brother George, IN the brokerage firm
Of Patten Brothers. The partnership
lasted until 1908, when George retired
from the firm and new partners
came In.
Retired First In 1910.
In 1910 Patten. announced his re-
tFement, but he remained an active
speculator for several years, and at
least two of his big market coups
were executed during 1910 and the
years thereafter.
His start as a speculator occurred in
the late 70s.
Patten, to obtain accurate informa-
zion on the market, maintained an elab-
crate and expensive crop-reporting
service, which, together with his own
wide knowledge of market conditions
furnished the data that made his deals
In most cases successful. Besides being
q Speculator he was for years an active
Board of Trade dealer.
Patten always took an active part In
Republican politics. The only sofRce he
ever held, however, was mayor of Ev-
anston, Tl., his home town, from 1901
to 1905.

GAMECOCKS EXPECT

COLUMBIA, S. c., october 9.-With
Virginia added to its list of victims, now
numbering three-Chicago Erskine and

cocks have turned their thoughts to
next Saturdays battle with Maryland,
which will be staged here.
It's three wins have demonstrated that
the Gamecocks have wonderful foot
ball team-one that cannot be counted
as whipped until the game is over.
Twice the team came from behind in
the Virginia game and finally in the
fourth quarter established it's superior
ity.
A record crowd is expected to view the
game with the Old Liners Saturday on
Melton Field. South Cardinals great
showing has whetted the enthusiasm of
the foot ball fans in the State, and a
multitude undoubtedly will see the clash
with Maryland.
On paper the Gamecocks appear to
be the favorites, and they expect TO
make it four straight. Maryland won
last year, but Coach Laval was not in
charge then.
Most of the Gamecocks came through
the Virginia game in good shape.
Cooper was right painfully injured, but
will probably be in shape for Saturdays
game. Guarino also was hurt and sew
eral other members of the squad we're
slightly injured, but the coaches hope
to have all of them in shape for Mary
land.

Alice Boat Caught Ln Sudden Freezeup
 Down Tanana Riuer

Navigation on the Panama and Yukon Rivers came to an end abruptly last week, as far as the Alaska Railroad river fleet is con- cerned, with freezing in of the steamer Alice at a point 105 miles below Nenana. The boat went in to winter quarters involuntarily while making a run for Nenana and the protection of the marine ways there.
 The steamer General Jacobs, which preceded the Alice upstream, also was caught by the ice while tied up at the bank for a shCrt time last week but channel was cut thru the ice into the main channel and the sturdy little craft fought it's way thru the running ice to it's destination. When the steam Ter finally reached Nenana the wheel was heavy with ice.
