dT&ciz&cjn. E>.
Thirty-five millions in accounts and capital 'were involved in
•tillo failure of the New York Curb Exchange firm of Jones & Bak
er, of which William R. Jones and Jackson B. Sells were heads.
The concern had branches in seven of America's principal cities,
and Its voluntary bankruptcy petition caused widespread consterna
tion, for it did one of the largest brokerage businesses in the
country. Jones is a former protege of Charles A. Stoneham,
president of the New York Giants baseball club, and is a close
lriehd also of Judge McQtrade and many Influential politicians.
The failure of the firm followed closely publication in the New
York American that its affairs were under investigation.
