now as a consequence of the war with
Spain she is so by right. Today she
is, in reality, country under the

she may be a part of the Union. The
American people by helping the Gu

to keep order in the island. The well

CORN KING CHECKED.
George Philips Transfers His Tradings
to Another Chicago Firm.
BUSINESS 1sMPoRARlY SUSPENDED.
Tangled Condition of His Books,
Due to "a Lack of Clerical Fa-
cilIties, Given as Cause of
embarrassment.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The Chicago
board of trade and the public general.
ly were startled by the announcement
that George H. Phillips & Co.. which
became famous through it's pool oper-
ations in the Chicago corn pit during
the past year. had offered all its open
trades to McReynolds & Co. 1t was at
first rumored that a large defalcation
had been discovered in an eXamina-
ton of the books, but this proved UNI
true, having its only foundation in
the fact that one of the head book
Keepers was confined to his home by
illness.
Lack of facilities for the proper
clerical deeds of the concern, which
had acquired an enormous commission
trade was, according to a statement
given by Attorney John s. Goodwin,
who as representative of the law
firm of Black & Goodwin has taken
charge of the company's affairs, the
sole reason for temporarily suspend
ing business. The tangled condition
of the books became apparent some
time ago, when the board of trade di'
rectors ruled that Phillips company
should furnish to each member of the
May corn pool n detailed account Of
the entire transaction. A large force
was then put to work on the books
and in their efforts to disentangle the
multltudinous trades it became appar-
ent that every trade on the company's
books since November. 1900. would
have to be checked over, entailing an
enormous amount of work. AS the
firms business kept increasing at n
remarkable rate, the machinery of the
house was found inadequate and at
midnight on July 81, 1t was decided to
simply transfer all trades and for the
time being throw the business of the
house into other hands until com
plete new set of books shall have been
completed. Mr.. Phillips, while regret
ting the necessity of this action, said
1t was absolutely the only course open
to him. "This does not mean we are
quitting business" he said "On the
contrary, we shall execute all orders,
but will have to ask that usual mar
gins accompany all orders until our
books are looked over"
The announcement of the turn of
affairs caused scarcely n ripple in the
board of trade market. Corn eased
about &c, but soon recovered the
loss. The wheat market was but
slightly affected. About the only ex-
element visible was the unusual
scurry of settling clerks, checking up
open trades.
