Wildest Scenes Many Years in Pit. in Chicago, May It.—The wildest panic which has shaken the Board of Trade since the Letter comer ten years ago came today, when the bears were driven In rout and wheat passed the dollar mark. Scenes of tumult fol lowed the opening of the market. Prices In all wheat options went up by leap* and bounds. December wheat advanced 8c In half an hour and cash wheat was 6c higher al one time than the close of Saturday. The panic was forecasted In tho opening prices In the European mar kets, where big gains over Sunday's closing'quotations were'ehown. Theso prices, shown by cable, caused a tre mendous struggle on. the .floor of the Chlengo exchange today. , Trade In wheat waa done on such an'enormous scale and the fluctuations were Violent that Individual operations waro lost sight of: All semblance of order was lost, as the maddened brokers de luged the pit with buying orders. For tunes wore made and lost every mo ment. Quotations varied fully a cent from the last sal*. Sometimes would be a gain, then a loss of from 1 to 2 cents. Then another rise. Houses like Armour & Co.. Bartlett, Frazier A Carrington and others of world-wldo fame were lost In the maelstrom that ruled tho pit.

Henry O. Bean, aged/ 17 years, for many years credit man at the Keely Company's, dlsd Monday morning at 8 o’clock at the home of his sister, Mrs. John W. Hightower, 191 Forrest ave nue. This announcement will bring genu ine sadness to the hearts of hundreds of Atlantans who knew and esteemed Henry Bean for his high character, his gentleness and lovable personal quali ties. When a mere lad of 12 he secured a position as an office boy with the Keely Company and from that day up to his deattr he remained with that firm.' By exceptional qualifications, steady ap plication and Integrity h* rose steadily In the company, until he occupied at his death the position of general office manager and credit mSn. In rather delicate health for several rears, Mr. Dean suffered a complete breakdown about five months ago. Though he rec*4ved every care, death came Monday morning. Ha Is sur vived by his mother, Mrs. A. L. Bean; three sisters, Mrs. Georgs W. Stevens, Mrs. John W. Hightower and Mrs. W. T. Nelson, all of Atlspta, and two brothers, William L. Bean, ef Atlanta, and Lonls II. Bean, of Belllnkham, Wash. Funeral services will be held from the residence of Mrs. Hightower on Wednesday afternoon at I o'clock, and will be conducted by Rev. Henry B. Mays. Tbs pallbearers will be selected from among employees of the Keely Company. The personal tribute below Is from F. J. Faxon, who has known the de ceased Intimately for years: Henry O. Bean passed'to his reward this morning. The notice of his death brings a distinct sense of loss and be reavement to his many frlsnds. It was my privilege to become acquainted with Mr. Bean some eight or ten years ago and to learn then to admire Ills many fine qualities. He was a gentleman at all times. Gentleness with him was Innate and was combined with nobility of character. I deemed Mr. Bean on* of the best credit and office men that I have ever known. It was a pleasure to come Ip contact with him either In the business or social life: he was al ways the same—willing to lend assis tance, considerate, painstaking, help ful and thoughtful of others. I desire to pay a tribute to the memory of Henry G. Bean, as coming from one whet knew him well and during the years of friendship learned to- admire him from every.etandpolnl. Mr. Bean's death Is a loss and most deeply felt by hla Immediate associate* with the Kee ly Company, and also by those whose privilege It was to call him their friend. FREDERIC J. FAXON. COPPER CASE Fumes Injurious to • Vegetation To Be Stopped. Georgia has won Its case against the Tennessee Copper Company and the Ducktown Sulphur, Copper and Iron Company In the United States su preme court Dispatches from Washington Monday morning announoed a decision In the famous litigation, which has been In the courts since 1908. The opinion was handed down by j Justice Peckham, who declared that If 1 Georgia pressed the case against the copper manufacturers an Injunction would be Issued against the defendant For over three years Atttorney General John C. Hart assisted by Attorney LI-! gon Johnson, who has been associated i with him In all the intricate litigation, has fought the case. The big copper roasting plants are at Isabella and Ducktown, Tenn., Just 1 across tho lino from Georgia. They' began cmelttng In 1901, and by 1901 local evidences Of destruction to vege-1 tatlon from tho sulphur fumes ap-i peered. 1 In 1003 the area of damage had! spreed across the Tennessee line and] had appeared In the upper tier of Gear- j gin counties. Complaints began com-i tng to the state authorities, and the , legislature of that year waa petitioned to afford relief. Aotlon Is Commenced. A legislative committee was appoint- j ed to Investigate and If damages were found as set forth tho governor was authorized to Institute proceedings to abate a nuiBance. The report of the , commlttteo more than sustained the allegations In tho petition, and an ap- ' peal was mode to tho Tennessee gov ernor to estop the nuisance. On re fusal, legal proceedings were Instituted. At that time the ore was roasted In the open, and on the promise to abandon t Ids method, I,-gal nation WHS dis missed. The abatement of the trouble was not permanent, however, and further complaints came from a wider aren of destruction. Since then tho case has been fought In the courts, until now Georgia wins finally, being given power to completely suppress the nulsnnce. Nearly 100 miles of Northern G-orgla hna been almost complotely denuded of vegetation, and many fnrmers have had to practically abandon farming. This decision is expected to have far- roachlng effect, as other cases have awaited the outcome of the Georgia litigation. • .- ’ Body of Woman In Pen of Hogs Sioux City. lows. May 13.—Walter F.

The figures of this census show-that between 1900 and 1994 the factory capital of the Bouth Increased from 8949,488,607 to Jl.637,636.872. a gain of 8639.170,216. equal to 64.9 per cent. In the reel of the country the advance for the same period was from 98,010,369,968 to 311.059,628,- tot, a gain of 8I.07I.270.20l, equal to 88.4 per cent. The same figures •how that the value of factory products Increased from 31.818.819,051 to 11,787,979,136, a gain of S549.3I0.9M. or 44 per cent. In the South, while in the rest of the country the gain was from 310,171.376,663, to 313.014.170- 763, or a gain of 17.9 per cent. As in the figures showing tho gain In man ufacturing capital and products between 1990 and 1900 the South made the largest percentage of Increase, bo In theee flguree ehowlng the factory growth between 1900 and 1904 the Bouth again shows a very large percentage of gain In advance of the per centage for the whole country. Calculating upon the original basis of 1900 by the measure of the advance shown In the flvo year*, it may b* safely estimated that by the end of 1908 the capital Invested in .South ern manufacture* bed Increased at least to 93.000,000,00), and the value of the product* had approached 92,600.000,000. Before the South has so'developed Its mill Industry ns to r"imim; at home 10,000.000 or 12.000.000 bales, the average Crop of the last five nr six years, nnd this would mean the quadrupling of mill capital from 1230.- 000,000 of today to over 91.000,000,000, the world will require nf this sec tion annual crop* of 25.000.000 or more.
