COMES INTO FULL POWER
BOARD OF CONTROL TAKES HOLD
It's Charge, and 1t VIII Finance
Eight Others.

The state board of control to-day as
sumed full charge of nine state institu-
tlons and financial supervision of eight
others. The change of power was marked
Dy no special ceremony, and the board
spent the morning working over the sal
ary list and other details. Affairs are in
rather unsettled shape, and several clerks
are temporarily working for the board.
1t is not known yet how large staff will
be needed. G. G. Cowie, long employed
IN the Office of the board of charities and
corrections, to-day entered the permanent
service of the board of control.
The institutions over which the board
has full power, with their population
June 30, are as follows: Five insane hos
pitals and asylums, 1868; school for feeble
minded, 1853; training school, S91; state
prison, 544; state reformatory, 152; to-
tai of 5.51S
The board has financial supervision of
the school for the deaf with 256 scholars,
the school for the blind, with SO, and the
state public school at Owatonna, with 25S,
a total of 5.87.
1t also will supervise the finances of the
five state normal schools. The four which
were in session last year had LAG stud
ents.
The annual expenditure over which this
board will exercise a watchful eye will
exceed 81, ,000, 900.

Phillips Suspends Business Because
of Botched Accounts, Trans
ferring All His Trades.
lntimateS That He Will Resume After
Ills Badly DemoraIized Books
Are Checked Over.

Following is a statement given by At
torney Goodwin for Mr.. Phillips:
The company was incorporated in Novem-
ber. 1900, with capital of $3e, The busi-
ness grew so rapidly that in the spring OF
this year, the capital WIS increased to $780,
900 and with that increase came still ad-
ditional increase in business, so that the
office force was simply overwhelmed We
have been doing the largest commission busi-
ness of any house in the world, but it had
recently come to the attention Of the firm
that the records CT tae transactions were not
being kept in the proper shape for such deals.
About a week ago expert accountants were
put to work on the books.
/ have gone over the legal end of the firms
affairs and have found it absolutely cor
rect. The expert accountants found that it
would be absolutely necessary to make new
set of books, dated from Jan. 1, 1900, and
check every item of the immense business.
The errors were apparently made without
partiality, credits being debited and vice
versa. But up to p. m. yesterday after
weeks work and after all errors had been
corrected up to that time, the books showed
the firm to be absolutely solvent On my ad-
vice, however, they cut off all old business
at midnight last nght-the last day of the
month-and transferred all their open trades
to McReynolds; and every trade of the house
Is protected, and every trade made yesterday
was made at profit for the customers We
are sending out circular asking all our
customers to send up statement Of their
claims against the company, so that we may
have them audited and use them in prepar-
Ing new set Of books, with the expectation
that, unless something happens which does
not seem probable we shall take care Of
every claim and proceed with the business
as heretofore. The accountant SO far has
found no evidence whatever Of criminal ir-
regularity, but simply mistakes due to the
immense amount Of business handled With
inadequate facilities for caring therefor
Little Eject ON 'Change.
The announcement OK the above turn
OF affairs caused scarcely ripple on the
board of trade markets. Corn eased about
%c, but soon regained the loss The
wheat market was but slightly affected
and oats followed the course of the corn
market.
About the only excitement visible was
the unusual scurry of clerks, hurrying
about checking up open trades
The after effect of the suspension was
not apparent in the corn market until near
the end Of the session. The professional
element, it developed, had sold short dur
ing the forenoon in anticipation of liquid
alton for the Phillips account This SELL
ing failed to materialize and when shorts
attempted to cover September shot I'D
from 55ss to 58c and closed at that price,

June 1, on the pretext that they are pre-
pairing to take part in the usual summer
maneuvers. 1t is believed, however, by
those who are behind the scenes that the
mobilization is a precautionary measure,
in view of the well-known fact that Aus
tria and Roumania have concluded an Of
fensive and defensive alliance.
Baron Lexa d'Aehrenthal, the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador, it is true, denies
that such an alliance exists; but Count
Lamsdorf, Russian foreign minister, and
General Kouropotkine, minister of war,
are thoroughly informed as to all that is
going on between Vienna and Bucharest.
The object of the alliance between Aus
tria-H Hungary and Roumania is to frighten
Russia away from the Balkans and to pre-
vent Slavonic federation against Aus
tria-Hungary and its allies.
1t is expected that when King Alexan-
der of Servia and Prince Ferdinand of Bull
garia arrive here in September, the fed
Grafton of Russian Bulgaria, Servia and
probably Montenegro will be arranged and
reafirmed.

to report, If such shall be found to be the
case, that you did not wilfully disobey the
orders or that you were justified in disobeying
them and that this may be clearly under
stood, your letter of the 27th ultimo, with
copy of this reply, will be duly forwarded to
the court. Very respectfully,
Fl. w. Hackett, Acting Secretary.
Rear Admiral Winfield S. Schley, United
States Navy Great Neck, N. Y
Formal action in the matter of tie
court of inquiry was to-day confined to
the dispatch of letter to Admiral Dewey
stating that "the department herewith
transmits copies of letters dated July 27
and Aug. 1 respecting the precept under
which the court of inquiry in the case
OF Rear Admiral Schley Is OF be convened" ,"
The court through Admiral Dewey had
already been supplied with a newly
printed copy of the precept itself The
correspondence referred is Admiral
Schley's letter suggesting the omission Of
the departments expression Of opinion
touching his alleged disobedience OF orders
and the reply from Acting Secretary
Hackett declining to make this modiica-
tion. 1t is rarely that a precept con-
tanning court of inquiry is amended
The departments action, 1t is stated,
while technically declining Admiral
Schley's suggestion, does, however, in
1acl, amount 10 an amendment on the
lines pointed out by him. AS indicated
in the letter to Admiral Dewey, this cor
respondence will form part of the rec
ord and in fact is supplement to the
precept and of as much force as the orig
inal document I.
The vacancy on the court caused by
Rear Admiral KimberIeys application to
be relieved has not yet been filled. 1t is
believed that the department is commune

Chicago, Aug. Board of trade and
business circles generally were startled
to-day by the announcement that the
George H. Phillips company, which be-
came famous through it's pool operations
IN the Chicago corn pit during the past
year, had transferred all it's open trades
to McReynolds & Co. 1t was at first ru-
mored that large defalcation had been
discovered in an examination Of the books,
but this proved untrue, 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
needs of the concern, which had acquired
an enormous commission trade, was, ac-
cording to statement given by Attorney
John s. Goodwin, who as a representa-
tive of the law firm of Black & Goodwin,
has taken charge of the company's affairs,
was the sole reason for temporarily sus-
pending business.
Books Tangled Up.
The tangled condition of the books be-

beard of trade directors ruled that the
Phillips company should furnish to each
member of the May corn pool a detailed
account of the entire transaction. A large
force was then put to work on the books
and in their efforts to untangle the multi
tudinous trades it became apparent that
every trade on the company's books since
November, 1900, would have to be checked
over, entatling an enormous amount Of
work. AS the firms business kept in
creasing at a remarkable rate, the ma
chinery of the house was found inade-
quate and, at midnight on July 81, it 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
compiled.
Mr.. Phillips, while regretting the neces-
s1ty of this action, said it 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 margins accompany all
orders until our books are checked over"

His Fortunes Hang Upon the Mary
land Democratic Platform.
Baltimore, Aug. 1.-The democrats Of
Maryland met in Ford's operahouse to-day
to name candidates for controller and
clerk Of the court of appeals, and adopt a
platform upon which candidates for the
legislature which meets in January next
will stand. Much thought and careful con-
sideration has been given to the platform
and to the district nominations for both
houses of the general assembly, as, upon
democratic success or failure in this par
ticular, depends the reelection or defeat
of former United States Senator German
to succeed Senator Wellington. Mr.. Cor
man has taken part in all the conferences
and the platform is generally regarded as
the product of his experience.
Chairman Vandiver Of the state central
committee in calling the convention to
order, declared it to be the purpose of the
party to make the coming fight on state
issues alone and intimated that white
sovereignty will be chief among these is
sues.

m1rals who are regarded as on the eligi-
Die list. Secretary Long at his home
at bingham is within an hour or two's
run of Admiral Kimberley's home at West
Newton, and the secretary may take ad-
vantage of that fact to visit the admiral
personally and endeavor to have him re-
consider his decision.
Captain SchIey Reprimanded.
The war department has taken cogni-
zance OF the published interview of Cap
tain Thomas F. Schley regarding the court
OF inquiry upon his father, the rear ad-
miral. 1t is understood the department
has informed the captain that such inter-
views are contrary to the army fegula-
tions.. 1t is not believed that a general
order directing army officers not to talk
for publication about such matters will
be necessary.
