Experts are busy with the books, which are said to be in a badly tangled condition. Thoy owe about $020,000. When seen by a TRIBUNE reporter this afternoon De Ruyter of the firm of Bolton De Ruyter Company, could not state what the amount of losses of the firm ould reach until after a meeting with the firm's patrons which would be held this after noon. The total amount might be $100,000. $250,000 or more.

Mr. De Ruyter was then asked if the failure would compel the firm to retire and said: "Our intention is to continue in business, though of course we will not continue on the same scale.

Van Ness, attorney for the firm, said today: "I think that the course followed by Mr. Genung, the manager of the firm, is the prime cause of the failure. He was a confidential man of the office and managed the business, though he was supposed to consult with the proprietors in regard to the numerous ac- -counts which he carried on the books without the knowledge of the firm. "His course in this respect led him to extend credit without acquainting the firm. What his motive may have been I do not know though it may that Mr.

Genung waa not intentionally dishonest and yet his course is most extraordinary." Too Late for Classification DONOVAN In Sacramento, February 2. 1904 Prof. John J. Donovan, a native of jkarysvllle. Clfornia.aged 47 year.
