The CORN KING Is POOR.
Yesterday He Was Worth $500,000 and
Today Not Cent.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-George H. Phillips,
the "corn king" transferred all his
trade to Reynolds & Co. He closed his
open trade on Wednesday, and said to
a customer that up to yesterday he con-
sidered himself worth $500, 900, adding,
"now don't know that am worth a
cent" The Phillips company is credited
with having done the largest commits
sion house business on the Chicago
board OF trade last year. Business was
suspended today.
1t was at first rumored that large
defalcation had been discovered in the
examination of the books, but this
proved untrue, having its only founda-
tion in the fact that one of the head
bookkeepers was confined to his home
by illness. The lack of facilities for the
proper clerical needs of the concern,
which had acquired an enormous com
mission trade, was, according to the
statement given to the Associated Press,
the cause Of closing up business.
The effect OF the suspension was not
apparent in tho corn market until at the
end OF the session. The professional
element, it developed, had gone short
during the forenoon in anticipation of a
liquidation for the Phillips account.
This selling failed to materialize and
when the shorts attempted to cover the
September corn market it shot from
555s, low point, to 5sc and closed at that
price, 2ss q 211c higher than yester-
days close.

A SWINDLER SECURES $2,OOO.
A Number of Las Cruces Sports Were Bun
coed Last Week.

A stranger gifted with an eloquent
flow of language, dropped into Las
Cruces a few days ago and soon be-
came acquainted with the leading citi-
zens. His name was Blaine, he stated,
and he was cattleman from GonZal-
es, Texas. He was quite conservative
when questioned about his visit to Las
Cruces, but finally in burst of "con-
fidence" to friends he claimed to be
on a deal for one of the w. w. Cox
ranches.
AS business was not very pressing,
he whiled away both time and money
at gaming. When the cash was ex-
hausted, he wrote checks on his
"home" bank and the new acquaint-
ances did not hesitate to cash them
for the stranger in a strange land. Be-
fore the checks had time to return
from the "home" bank, Mr.. Blaine was
wired to come to Ell Paso at once on
urgent business and few days later
the checks. We're returned, bearing the
simple words mo funds"
1T is thought the man secured fully
$4,000.
