MUST LEAVE STATE
ILLINOIS HAS NO ROOM FOR IN
VESTMENT COMPANIES.
HAMLIN RENDERS AN OPINION
But Few of Them Have Any Capital
and In All Probability Would
Never Yield ANY
Returns.
(By Associated Press.)


Springfield H.. March 3l.--According
to decision rendered by Attorney
General Hamlin, investment eompa-
nies cannot do business In this state
under the foreign corporation act, as
hundreds OF them have been seeking to
do for several months past.
Mr.. Hamlin says that the nature
OF business outlined by these concerns
brings them under the head of banking
or loaning companies, and that they
cannot take advantage of the foreign
corporation act. Local authorities can
now proceed against the agents of un-
authorized concerns and II Is believed
that the so-called Investment business"
will be stopped
After several such companies incor-
porated I'm other states had been au-
thorized to do business In Illlnols--there
being no opposition to such autboriza-
tlon--an investigation OF the methods
of the concerns was Instituted and II
was found that at least some OF them
had no assets and that there was little
probability that they would ever pay
anything to the men who put money
into them
After this, the secretary OF state CAV,
instructions to the corporation clerks
to refuse all future applications.
