A GOOD CHARACTER

see that military operations we're prop

The conditions of the people were also
a matter Of great solicitude on the part
OF General Wheaton. The conduct of
the war was as humane as any war ever
waged. AS to tho diproportion be-
tween the killed and wounded among
the Filirinos, Colonel Wagner attrib-
utcd II to the fact that those who were
not seriously wounded made their es-
cape. He thought that at least four or
five wounded Filipinos escaped for every
one who fell into American hands.
Senator Culberson questioned Colonel
Wagner as TO whether firing on a flag
OF truce-an incident reported by Gen
eral (then colonel) Smith-:he inf.iction
of torture and the vanton devastation
OF property were not violations of the
rules Of war. and the answer was that
generally speaking they were. He knew

Reconcentration Camps.
Senator Culberson quoted from a let
ter read by Senator Bacon In his speech
recently. written by an officer whose
name was withheld, describing a con-
centration camp which he compared to
a suburb of he'll. He asked Colonel Wag-
ner IL he knew anything abou: such a
camp. The latter did not think camp
such as described could exist. for the
reason that the officers In charge could
not afford to be responsible for such
conditions as were mentioned. The writ
er. in his opinion. was derelict in his
duty II he knew OF such conditions and
failed to report them.
Replying to further questions Colonel
Wagner said no charges had been made
TO the adjutant generals ONCE by Col
onel Gardener, the governor of Taybas
province. The only charges made from
that province affected young ofiicer
whose mind was affected. II any wrong
doing on the part Of officers or enlist
ed men in the province had been known
to Colonel Gardener. II was the duty OF
Gardener to report it.

BROKE ON SALE OF BUT $4,000 tU Shells
Jacob Ringer, Phillips Attorney, Says He is
Broke, That Men Whom He Worsted
in Former Deals Went After
Him and EnfsH
Him and Got Him.
(By the Associated Press.

Chicago, Jan. IA notice was posted
at the opening of the board of trade to-
day calling for the closing of all open
deals with George Fl. Phillips, the former
corn king"
A heavy call for extra margins is said
tC have been the cause of the posting of
the notice
The call was made yesterday afternoon
and Phillips and his staff worked all
night over the firms books. The trouble
is said to have been due 10 a 3l2 cent
break in rye yesterday. Phillips is cred
tied with holding line of 1,500, 900 bush
els of this cereal mostly in May options
The break yesterday was caused by sale
OF only $4,000 bushels.
Phillips opened negotiations with ele-
vator men before the opening of the board
in an endeavor to dispose of his rye out
side the pit. The negotiations fell
through and May rye which closed yes
terday at 66s4c., opened with sales from
81 to soc. The whole Phillips line was
dumped into the market Brokers act
MS IOf .ATtIOuI ~ Company, however,
bought nearly all of it and the market
in consequence rallied sharply to 65c.
The effect OF the notice posted by Sec
retary Stone was instantaneous. the
whole list opening off sharply. Wheat
opened l to 112c, corn Il to 1c down and
oats nearly a cent depressed.
II. Hurlburt. Phillips office manager.
declared that it was the suddenness of
the call for the extra ten per cent mar
gins which had embarrassed Mr.. Phil
lips. He stated that Phillips had traded
but httle on his own account. the grain
for the most part belonging to custom
ers.
Later Jacob Ringer attorney for Mr..
Phillips. gave out a statement saying
that his client had been practically wiped
off the financial slate
"He is broke" said Mr.. Ringer. Men
whom he worsted in former deals went
after him and they got him"
Mr.. Phillips gave out a statement in
art as follows:
''The amount involved in my trouble of
