Penalties for Financial Crimes.

From the Atlantic.
One of the commonest ways OF giving fc-
titious value to stock, and OF selling large
quantities of worthless certificates. is by
paying large dividends not out Of the &C.
tual earnings of the company. but out OF
the money paid by stockholders for their
stock. Stockholders and others. believing
from these dividends that the company Is
actually prosperous and earning money.
either increase their holdings or buy stock
at high prices, only to find later that II is
worthless. The penal code provides that
the directors of corporation who perpe-
trate this swindle are guilty simply of a
misdemeanor Equally serious is the ac-
ton of directors in knowingly making and
publishing false statements reports
to the financial condition of the company Of
which they are trustees Whitaker Wright
(the great company promoter who COM
mitted suicide after being sentenced to hard
labor for issuing false balance sheets of the
wrecked London and Globe finance corpora
tion) was convicted in England under a
statute substantially similar to this section
Of the penal code He was sentenced to
seven years penal servitude. Under this
New York law the maximum penalty which
he could have received would have been one
years imprisonment or a fin of $500.
In dealing with offenses by criminals OF
previous good social standing rarely
look beyond the offender himself to con-
slider the welfare of the community. II,
for example. a man steals, and. after his
Indictment for the crime. his friends or
relatives repay the amount of the theft in
America that Is the end of the matter. and
the offense committed against criminal law
devised al protection for the public is en-
tirely negligible The greatest bank wreck
er in American criminal history now lives
undisturbed in New York. He never served
a day in jail for a defalcation of $6O0OOoO.
The indictments against him were all dis
missed few years ago. He even seems to
have returned to some sort of social posi-
ton, and the society columns of the New
York Times. commenting some time ago
upon a reception at his New York home
alluded with becoming gravity to certain
Canadian guests as friends Whom their host
and his family had made during their long
stay in Quebec"

everv other interest, save that Of the big

daylight hours have been occupied from
sunrise to sunset with succession of re-
ligious assemblies. =.
The Ocean Grove hotels and boarding
houses are filled to overlooking and nearly
all of the cottagers are entertaining camp
meeting visitors. In the groups Of tents,
which number upward of 800. there are nut
two unoccupied. and this picturesque phase
of camp-meeting life proves source OF
great interest to the newcomers at the
Grove. Camp meeting will conclude next
Monday with the baptism of infants and
the unique march round Jerusalem. Thls
function is most interesting one, and the
big Auditorium congregation mes out Two

NEWPORT, r. l., August g. 1904.
Newport's social sun is now at its zenith.
the local season always being two weeks
later than at other resorts. In conse-
quence many come here for a last gay
fling Tennis thanks to violent rain and
wind, ran over into this week to keep polo
company.
The Casino Is once more in the doldrums.
owing to the rocketlike rise of the Clam
Bake Club since its enlargement. First It
was the combination of the Country Club
and golf that gave the Casino a discolored
eye for two or three seasons. Then the
Country Club lost its hold and the Casino
was restored to favor.
Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs will never again
attempt to prescribe what her guests shall
wear at a dance, and all because her white
ball turned so white and black that it was
really streaked. Even the women added to
the trouble by wearing as many modern
as ancient costumes The men positively
kicked over the traces, and as mere man

this season as to warrant being catalogued

order The intended color scheme was
spoiled. Costume balls had their day, or
rather night. here years ago. and 1t Is no
easier to revive the old schemes in New
port than 1t would be elsewhere. No other
balls are In progress here, but 1T Is posi-
BILE that two or three stable dinner dances
will be given before the middle Of Septem-

me climax Of the local season will bs
reached this afternoon with the celebrat ton
OF jamestown day. which. although 1t has
come to be an annual affair. was omitted
last year. The observance this time will be
much the same usual. including the pn-
rade of decorated vehicles. followed by
sports. A touch of novelty Is to be intro
ouced by adding an obstacle automobile
race and slow automobile race to the
tfme-honored creased pole three-legged
run sack race and potato sprint. On these
occasions everything on rollers turns out
and the display beats the county fairs all
hollow.
The annual fair Of the jamestown Coun-
Try Club now that the proceeds have been
determined. proves to be the most prof.a-
bic ever given. and many think it was the
greatest artistic success as well. Certainly
the cottagers never got inside such make
ups before. One Of them was the counter
part of an Italian organ grinder and an
other Of monkey. while a bevy presented

neighbors prancing about as dime museum
freaks was Irresistible. Something Of the
sort Is consequently assured every summer
for years to come. The successful out
come means that various improvements
and additions will be forthcoming another
season at the club. which is the sporting
