May 2?.— What 1» f Keneraltr conceded to have been the most successful wheat deal Jn the annals of the Chicago board cf trade closed today, and it closed without the squeezing of *horts. -which in other days was wont to famish a show to the gallery visitors «.nd leave La Salle street staggering. Jasnes A. Patten during today's brief cession made a fixed price of $1.34 a bushel. Throug-h his pit clerk, "Ed" Walker, he bought or sold at ' that price, but the buying was almost purely . theoretical on his part. He did take in a few thousand bushels from a "trailer"' waited until the last moment for his profits, but in the main he disposed cf about £00,000 bushels to shorts, who tad hoped against hope to the last moment, and then, in the parlance of; the pit, **took their medicine." Patten Not in Pit It was all tranquil, really duller than txscal. .and not even remotely resexn fclJr.g the turbulence of the sessions of previous months. Few were In the pit, end Patten 'was not one of them. He eat in hU oflce facing the blackboard, chewing vigorously at a quid of gum. his hat pushed back on his head and his eyes fixed on the quotations of op tions other than May. It was not until an hour after the close of the market that' the only bit cf sentiment connected with the whole ; thing leaked out- A procession of! clerks headed for the cashier's office •with broad grins on their faces and clips of white paper In their hands called attention to IV and It was learned that every employe of the Bartlett-Patten house had been given b. bonus of 10 per cent of bis annual salary. Remains Consistent The price at which May wheat closed today did not represent a fictitious value. It \u25a0was, according to traders, consistent with the price the world over. Patten, had he -wished, might Jiave put the price at $5. and remain ing ehorts would have been compelled to pay It or acknowledge bankruptcy, i However, according to his friends, he remained consistent with his assertion that he had bo wish to manipulate prices, but only to secure the legiti mate profits of his foresight. He backed his Judgment that there was less wheat In the world than teas gen erally believed and found himself in| control. Wall street sold short, as did some influential western speculators, \u25a0 but Patten stood firm. He took a vaca tion at a .critical period of the cam paign and ignored a decline of 12 / Vents that followed his departure from Chicago. That loss was more than re covered, for It was only a few days ago that the cereal sold at ~ $1.35%, "the highest price in 11 years, flakes Big Cleanup 'Patten lias made a fortune, how xnuch he can not say until his cash wbeat is marketed. = -His own admis sion, however, seems to make $1,000,000 a conservative estimate. It may run much larger. The losses, it is said, have fallen mostly on professional c peculators. The battle is not over yet, for. the bulls and bears are still divided as^to whether empty bins will be replen ished by the July harvest. The first sale of wheat for delivery this month was made June 23 last at S9«ic the bushel. Last Tuesday it cold at f1.35%, a rise of 45Hc. Depletion of Reserves Patten's assertion that reserves have been almost exhausted apparently is confirmed by a comparison of receipts In Chicago during the last month. Dur ing May a year ago 1,001 cars were Teceived here; this month there were only 133 cars. Today, for instance, only one car arrived. Yesterday 671. 000 bushels of actual wheat were de livered on the trade, and today 54.000 were transferred." Most of . |\.!s went to Patten- * Accurate information as to how much wheat now rests in the Patten ware bouses is not obtainable, but the stocks In public and private elevators.aggre- Continued on Page lb, Column 3 The San Francisco Call.

The wedding was <tuite as freshly American as was the unprecedented buggy ride which the couple took some weeks ago and which caused such a hubbub in conventional Chinatown that 'Peking hoard the roar, and a Chinese \- -•'\u25a0• \u25a0 \u25a0-.-.-•\u25a0\u25a0 •-.-.,. newspaper imitated "Town Topics" and printed the story with subtle insinu ations instead of names, all of which was published in The Call. . • Chinese Smart Set Present me wedding was solemnized yester day '"mid bridesmaids and Rrooms men and cousins and all." Most dis tinguished among the guests were Hsu Bin Chontr, Chinese consul general, and King Key Young, Chinese vice consul. Many Chinese students and educators were also present. The ceremony was performed 'by Rev. Lew Chick Hung *0f the Chinese Baptist church. Some unscrupulous enemies of tlrs Chinese consul and the Chinese school took advantage of the marriage to placard the Chinese walls _ with men dacious comments on the entire affair and with violent attacks on the consul general; but that did not detract from the splendor of the event nor the hap piness of the young couple. It was a wedding" which Carlylo •nri£hi.'~Mad *he • not ' lived ? too "soon, or the wedding been .so late, ,.' have im mortalized in a Sartor- Resartus. For there was much, in the clothes of the wedding party to stimulate sociological thought.

The gay little bridesmaids wore the pantaloons and light -, blouses of Canton.' . '^-!. Marriage License. Delay There was a brief delay that was not ; calculated upon. The ; groom had postponed getting his marriage license until the afternoon, and then found that the 'county • clerk's ' ; office was closed. So he had to speed around the city until he could arouse a. deputy county clerk and secure the., precious paper. , In -the meantime the bride, with her maidens, sat in her, tower on high at the Canton hotel, which her father conducts at Stockton and. Sac ramento streets. About 4:30 an ambassador from the groom arrived at. the bower and pro claimed the good news— the license was secured., Immediately: there was a flut ter about the corner. Children who had "been playing aimlessly in the street" lined up near the carriage which was to convey the bride to ; the wed ding parlor. . A saucy Chinese youth restlessly fingered \u25a0 a bowl of £ Canton rice; a Chinese dowager In black blouse and with the gold and jade decorations of the old regime crossed the sidewalk, making way for the new. order.

WINTERS VIOLATES PAROLE Man Who Robbed Smelter of $325,000 Seeks to Force Pay ment for Confession Declares $25,000 Was Promised for Returning Stolen Bullion to Company \u25a0 Comes to Bay Counties Despite Orders of Board of Prison Commissioners Pleads for Permission to Re« main, but Is Ordered Back to Sacramento JOHN WINTERS, who robbed the "Selby smelting works .of bullion wqrth $325,000, for which he served seven years in prison, has within the last few days, in violation of his parole, visited Oakland and San Francisco and has just set on foot a plan to force the payment of $25,000 which he claims was promised for his confession, when he was summarily sent out of the city. Winters was guilty of one of the greatest robberies that the country has known, and as it appeared impossible to gather suffi cient circumstantial evidence against him it was reported that he was given generous promises for the return of the stolen gold. It was his boast that he was to receive from thesSdby com pany the sum of $25,000. The money was not paid him, and when work failed him Winters decided to risk his liberty in an effort to obtain the money. Failed in Quest . Not only has he been unsuccessful in his quest, but he has been ordered i to remain away from the bay coun ties. The alternative was a recom haste to leave the city yesterday and caught an afternoon train for Sacra mento. mitment to Folsom. Winters made When winters was paroled in Decem ber of last year It was expressly stipu lated that he should not attempt to visit the region about the bay. The purpose of this was to keep him away from the Selby works and not to af ford him the opportunity to harm those who had been responsible for his In carceration. For nearly six months he has obeyed. He went from Folsom to Sacramento and obtained employment. He bad been working steadily until the middle of this month. Then the" contract on which be was engaged ex pired and he was left without funds. It was then that Winters bethought himself of the supposed promises un fulfilled. He -first visited Oakland and sought out his friends. of earlier days. He told them of his plight and of 'the lure that had brought him to the bay against the orders of the prison com mission. He had just began to lay his plans to force the payment of the $25,000 when the police department learned of his presence in Oakland. He was shadowed and it was planned to arrest him at the opportune moment. Asked to Remain Here In the meantime, however. Winters is said to have become aware of the fact that he was being watched. At any rate, he appeared one day last, week at the office of the prison directors la the ferry " building and explained to Karl E. Hanson, the officer in charge, tbat'he was out of funds, that his em ployment in Sacramento had ceased ant asked if he might remain ; here. ' It happened that Lieutenant Governor Warren.
