STRENUOUS LIFE FOR
CORN KING PHILLIPS
BEARS SHOOK HIM OUT OF WHEAT,
BUT HE STICKS TO CORN
AND OATS.

CHICAGO, April "a strong effort
was made on the Board of Trade today
to crowd George H. Phillips the corn
king" to the wall. He was driven clear
out of the wheat market but gaxe up
none of his holdings in corn and oats
The day was the biggest of its kind
the board had ever witnessed in many
year, the governing conditions unusual
and the crowd of struggling, bowling
brokers and traders cutting antics, fill-
ing the public galleries to the limit.
May wheat sold down to 11a to T5s.
and closed at 72ss to 721a, net loss for
the day of two cents. May corn tumbled
to 4O9s cents, the net loss for the day
being 17s cents. The slump was hast
ened by the closing out of trades of a
st. Louis firm. May oats went to 24h
cents, and closed at PAYS cents. Calls for
margins were made on Phillips to the
extent of nearly $250,000 more, all Of
these demands being promptly met His
firm now has nearly $780, 900 up as mar
gins, some of which will be released to-
morrow.
The attempt to snatch the scepter from
the corn king resulted in further heavy
losses to his customers, either actual or
paper profits in-corn, and of heavy losses
On oats, but Phillips stuck to his policy.
At the close he declared he had not been
shaken out of his corn and oats and he
w,
The wheat deal was a different story
Phillips advised his customers to sell
and unlolded nearly 100000 bushels
early. This was the shower that caused
loss of at least 212 cents per bushel, or
nearly $25,000. The markets were in
tensely nervous, and in wheat in the first
i've minutes of the session prices ranged
from IL to nearly cents below the clos
ing prices. The prompt response by
Phillips to morning calls for margins
steadied the markets, but towards noon
on his selling out his wheat on general
liquidation and the reported failure of a
st. Louis corn speculator there were
further sharp declines. After the de-
cline he was advising customers to keep
"a stiff upper lip" and was acting on
that advice himself
L believe that corn and oats have
had all the break they will have" he
said, "and will de better tomorrow.
nave advices from two dozen points in
Illinois and Iowa that farmers have lit
tie corn to sell or that roads are i'm
passable and feeders are taking the
corn at higher than Chicago prices and
that seeding of oats is already DELAYED a
week. There will be more rains in the
next week, and if seeding should be de-
layed until April Is, as is quite likely.
you VIII see oats go up cents a dav
until people forget they ever sold at %

LEES MEN ARE OUT.
SOUTH DAKOTA CHARITIES BOARD
IS NOW REPUBLICAN.


PIERRE, S. D., April s.-The supreme
court today handed down decision by
Corsen in the case OF the State vs. G. H.
Bacon and H P. Smith, known as the
board of charities case.
The decision is that the defendants are
holding the Office of members of the
board of charities and corrections with
out authority of law and should be re-
moved therefrom and that the REALTORS
are legally entitled to act as members of
said board
The case hinged on the right of the
legislature to pass emergency measures
thus calling cut the referendum, and the
court holds it has this power.
Gov. Herreid appointed members on the
beard early in the session of the legisla-
ture, two of whom were to take the
places OF two members, Bacon and
Smith, Whom Gov. Lee appointed few
days prior to his taking his official leave.
The power OF Gov, Herreid was ques-
toned, and the matter was taken to the
supreme court, which decided that the
old members of the board could not be
ousted. The legislature at once passed a
law granting the governor power to re-
move, without assigning cause all ap-
pcintive officers. Under this law Gov
ed by Lee.
The supreme court now sustains the
legality of this Law, and Merrs. LAWN
and Rice, Gov Herreid's appointees, will
be seated on the board, which will be
controlled by, the Republicans instead Of
the fusionists. Control of all state 1ns,i-
tutions will thus fall to the Republicans,
who will doubtless remove the present
superintendent and other officials and
appoint new men. Besides the matter of
patronage, the question can the legisla-
ture by simply declaring an emergency
to exist, prevent the operation of the ref
erendum, was also an issue.

WASHINGTON, April 3-The St. Pet
ersburg dispatch to the Associated
Press, printed this morning, has aroused
interest in official circles here. For the
same reason that prevented the CORES
pondent from quoting any authority IN
the Russian government sas a source Of
the suggestion contained in his dispatch,
it is not possible to cite official authority
for the comment that has been passed
here upon the suggested Russian plea.
This, in brief, is that the action of the
powers in opposing the Manchurian
agreement will make it impossible for
Russia to leave Manchuria at all The
comment upon this suggested plea is that
Russia deliberately proposes to commit
greater ofense in the permanent selz-
ure of Manchuria, if the powers viii not
connive at a lesser one, in allowing her
to make a secret and private agreement
with China. Russia is displeased be-
cause the powers discouraged China from
signing the agreement; yet Russia herself
Joined with the other powers in under

ment involving the acquisition of Chin
ese territory Even If she persists. even
If she forces China to sign the Manchur-
ian agreement, there is no obligation

the United States, to whom this Russian
pledge was given, to look upon it as
binding. By the same reasoning should
