Bucket shop Proprletors spring surprise
on the Board of Trade.
Chicago, March 30.-During the height
of arguments before Judge Horton today
to quash the indictments against the 251
bucket shop proprietors, Attorney Riddle
for the defendants declared that the law
creating the board of trade provides that
IF bucket shop operations are conducted
on the floor of the board the charter of
the board shall become null and void"
Lawyer Riddle then intimated that men,
bers of the board have been doing a
bucket shop business with clerks during
luncheon hour. "If that is So and the
board knows it," declared the court,
proceedings should be commenced to
have the charter revoked"
The attorneys for the bucket shop men
refuse to say what proof they have or
what proceedings they will take until
the motion to quash the indictments-is
disposed of. Judge Horton will probably
render his decision next week.
