losses were considerable. Mr.. McKim a
few years ago ranked among the leading
spectators in Wall street. and gained con-
siderable prestige through his business
connections with certain OF the Wander
bits. He is reported to have made a for
tune out OF the break in Cordage stocks
about three years ago, but subsequently
lost heavily through unfortunate specula-
tions Mr. McKim declined TO state the
assets or liabilities of the firm, as its ar
fairs are In the hands of its lawyers. Mr..

operators in Wall street, and was reputed

other brokers in the exchange, he having
no outstanding contracts himself, but
owed about 5000 to his fellow brokers

exchange contracts he dealt largely in
privileges and had sold calls on over
1900 shares Of sugar. His losses In sugar
in this one deal were over 100000.

Kim on joint account and laid down" on
his broker This associate Of Mr.. McKim's

occurs of this nature. No bribery can
be successfully consummated without
my full knowledge Immediately, and
shall make full investigation
into each case and lay the facts

attention Of my friends to these pro
ceedings, feeling that can rely upon
their cooperation in preventing them" "
