BADLY INVOLVED.
Big Grain Concern in a Finan-
cial Tangle.
Said to Be Due to Manipulating
Warehouse Receipts.
IT'S PAPER Is HELD
ITS PAPER is HELD
In Large Quantities by Banks
and Other Interests.
Has Offices in Chicago, Albany,
Buffalo and Boston.

Albany, N. Y, May 23-Through the
alleged manipulation of warehouse re-
ceipts the firm of Durant 6. Elmore,
grain merchants, with offices in Albany.
Chicago. Buffalo and Boston, has be-
come involved in a financial tangle.
which promises sensational develop
raents. The National Commercial bank
of Albany holds the company's paper
for $780, 900; the First National bank has
81, 800, and many thousands more are
town Institutions.
According to a statement by Vice
President James H. Perkins, of the Ma
tional Commercial bank, the company
is "hopelessly involved -
1--WE are informed said Mr.. Per
kins, that eight or nine banks hold
the firms paper, besides grain COM
mission brokers with whom the firm
has dealt and number of individ-
uals.''
The exact condition of the firm S
affairs is not known, but an eXamina-
ton is under way. Gibson Oliver,
treasurer of the company had charge
of the affairs of its Albany office, ac-
cording to members of the firm, but
no statement from him as to the al
legged shortage has been forthcoming
Edwin w. Gilmore, a mem ber of the
firm, who was summoned from Chi
cago, is assisting in the examination.
The scheme by which the money is
alleged to nave been secured was sim
p1e one. AS soon as a carload of grain
was shipped from Chicago for the local
firm the manager received a warehouse
receipt. This was in the regular course
of business. Later on the warehouse re-
ceipts are said to have been so mani
pulated as to make possible the heavy
loans from the banks on the bills as
security.
been to take up the warehouse re-
ceipts when the grain was actually de-
livered by the railway company, it is
alleged, did not do so, and hence the
genuine bills were used again.

The Rev. DR.. John DUDE, a Sulu
delegate got UP at one of the meetings
and declared that he had been adj
mitted to hotels in London and New
York, but not so in Washington.
The whole incident has stirred up
varied feelings and it is not improb-
able that the question may be carried
into the convention.
The days work began with eight
simultaneous conferences. in which
teachers assem- bled in divisions and
discussed the special branches of work
they follow, and then reassembled in
convention hall, the results and re-
Communications of the conference
were presented to the convention and

constituted eighty per cent of the song
