The report which Attorney General
Stead. Of Illinois, has made TO Gov. De
neen shows that there is a method by
which the State can proceed against the
Alton system and Hartman and his as
ISOLATED fnanciers. but at the expense

who operated the Alton deal appear to
have got pretty well from under, besides
making a total profit Of s24.64s. 500
As Attorney General Stead reads the
story Of the Alton transaction, which, in
his opinion. has left the system in hope
less bankruptcy. the innocent StockhOld-
ers must suffer in one way or another. II
is his desire 70 make their burden as light
as possible. Can he not discover at the
same time a way TO make Hartman and
his associates diSgorge their personal
profits,
