HITS BOARD HARD
Bill Coming Along Quietly at
Springfield That Will Shock
Chicago Traders.
WOULD PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS
Attorney GenearI Tells the Governor
What He Knows About OmciaI
Reports.

Springfield, Ills. April lion top of
cago Board of Trade-such as bucket
shop indictments, put and call bills
and such things-a bill has been ad-
vanced and is ready for passage In the
senate this week which will put that
institution out of business if it is
passed. 1t has worked its way slowly
through the senate and has up to date
attracted no attention, but it now &C.
cupieS a conspicuous place on the
calendar, AMI it is evident a strong eff
fort will be made to pass it this. week.
On the face of it, it is a bill in the
interest of the farmers--in that it pro-
hibits absolutely any speculation in
grain or other products.
Most Drastic OF Its Kind.
Many bills of the kind have been
brought forward in the past. but this
bill, fathered by Senator H. Robert
Fowler. a Democrat from the south
ern end of the state, is the most drastic
of the kind ever considered in either
house. Usually such bills have been
of the regulator class and have died
in the committee The fact that this
one is not only out of committee; but
on the calendar for a third reading
and passage is the best evidence of the
sincerity of ITS promoters. and ii is not
at all improbable it will be given
final vote before the end of this legis-
Iative week.
Prohibits Speculation in Products.
1t is entitled Bill for an act 10
lat 70 10 nd ho I.tn r0t.fA-
vent speculation in grain or other
products" Section l of the bill pro-
hibits any deal in which the grain or
other product is not already owned
by one of the parties to the deal; or
any deal in which it is understood
that the product dealt in is not to be
delivered, and makes the keeping of
any place where such forbidden trad
ing is done unlawful and the keep
ing of such place is hereby prohibited
and declared to be nuisance and may
be abated as such, as is now provided
by law" Section of the bill pro-
vides the penalty for violations shall
be fine of not less than $500 or more
than $1,000 for the first offense and
for the second and subsequent offenses,
in addition to the fine, Imprisonment in
the county Jail for period of not less
than one year. mo- 4
Incentive for Prosecutions.
Section 3 is another drastic set of
provisions, as follows: 1T shall not be
necessary in order to commit the Of
Tense defined in section 1 of this act
that both the buyer and seller shall
agree to- do any of the acts therein
prohibited, but the said crime shall be
complete against such corporation, as
ISOLATION, cO-partnership board, or per-
son offering to sell or Offering to buy
such grain or product and all pretend
ed sales of Grain or products of any
kind unless they are actual sales"
The final section provides the incentive
for prosecutions by allowing the
states attorneys $25 for every convic
ton and 10 per cent. of all fines col
lected under the act.
