divided earnings of the company, leaving
the capital and surplus of $4,000, 600 in

anxious as to the future management of

to the effect that Mr.. Miles took $500 600
! in securities from the Trust company, but
the loss will be $500 as one-half of the
securities will be recovered. There were
Irregularities in Miles's accounts as treas

no loss to the club, as the irregularities
were within the domain of the Trust COM

discovered he went to his home and wrote
the details of all his speculative accounts,
gave the data of all the missing securities
and their location in brokers' offices. His
irregularities have been found to be exactly
in accordance with his written statement.
