JOHN BULL INVESTIGATES
BLOWS AT BUCKETSHOPs
Our British Cousins Likely TO Follow
Example of United States I'm Driv-
ing Out Those Places of Fraud.

Washington, ID. c., June o.
Great Britain, at last awakened To
a realization of what the bucket
shop swindle does to It's unsuspect-
ing public, Is investigating what has
been done in the United States TO
put these places out of business.
What makes this fact more signif-
1cant is the fact that "bucket-shops"
had their origin In England.
II has taken many years of loss
and coagitation for England to
come TO the decision to knock out
the counterfelts OF the legitimate ex-
changes, those speculation-shops
where the use OF the forms OF real
trade tricks the public out OF mill
lions OF dollars annually. Without
The example of the United States II
Is doubtful II such an action would
have been taken, although the
British people have been fleeced for
years. For John Bull, while anx-
ious TO protect the people at large, is
solicitous not TO enact any legisla-
tion which would hamper necessary
speculation, which has governmental
endorsement under the "Sale OF
Goods Act OF 1S93." anxious not to
throw the trade and commerce of the
land into chaos. This Is an exag-
geretIon OF the caution expressed re-
Gently by President Roosevelt when

ness transacted on the exchanges Is

dustrial system, and extreme care
would have TO be taken not TO inter-
fere with this business in doing away
with the bncket-shop type opera
tions."
The bucket-shop evil, though 81
recent growth, has assumed such
prodigious dimensions that England
Is finding more and more the neces-
city for taking action which, on the
one hand. would raise the status of
the legitimate boards of trade and
exchanges and, on the other, would

The term "bucket-shopper" first
originated in London five decades
ago. 1t was originally applied to
the happy-go-lueky hooligans who
went from tavern to tavern and pub
lic-house TO public-house, draining
the kegs of beer and brandy, stacked
outside the saloons, into a small
bucket they carried; then adjourning

Ian appeal on March 90, 1895. The
Universal Stock Exchange Limited $
stock deals with David Strachan
were declared as gambling transac-
tions by the original court, which
tried the case with the aid of the
jury. "The transactions were for
very large amounts" and both the
parties to the suit waged bitter
war. Lord Halsbury, one of the
Privy Councillors, in expressing his
opinion declared: when l look at
the terms themselves the whole
scheme appears TO be intended
with great ingenuity to pretend that
there is to be a real transaction, and
yet there is to be payment in re-
spect of the relations between the
parties, which is only reconcilable in
my mind with its being an unreal
transaction. They are to get 5 per
cent. Each of the learned counsel
in turn has been asked what that
was for, inasmuch as 1t was admitted
on the other side? My lords, II I
all these transactions not one single
purchase or sale is proved TO have
existed during the whole period In
which this business was going on.
Then, II the al meaning of the par
ties Is this, that there Is to be only
a payment of differences, what is II
but a gaming and wagering transac-
tion between the two as to what
shall be the payment on one side or
on theother side? My lords, II I
were on the Jury, should come to
that conclusion"
The other privy councillors con-
Cured with Lord Halsbury. and the
verdict of the Jury that the
came under the head OF
was upheld.
In another case analogous TO the
above, the Master of the Rolls de
clared in HIS opinion this was not n |
true transaction. For some rea-
son which he did not understand.
he said, at has been held that such
did not amount TO
gambling II was an attempt to keep
up the price of shares and in order
10 make II appear a true transaction
L was put into the jargon OF the
stock exchange"
Despite these decisions the buck
et-shoppers in England continne to
throw their drag-net and to catch
big prizes. BY means OF adroitly
vorded advertisements and through
outs, they manage TO raise expecta-
ions amongst simple-minded Eng
ishment 10 induce them TO partici-
pate in gambling. The game is
played under. cover in such a clever
manner that the same person, in
spite OF former Losses, bites at the
bait a number OF times and, as a
loses sum after sum.
rhe boards OF trade and legitimate
exchanges have done something,
hough not as much as in the United
States to enlighten the public re-

Though it was not deii- nitely leaned it was stated last even ing that he was born in Iowa It is known that his early life was spent in eastern Kansas and Missouri but some twenty-five or thirty years ago he came to Prescott, Arizona.

made a successful break for liberty in | broad daylight this morning
 1 While the posse is securing the hills the belief is current that the men re- mained in hiding near the city during i the day and that they will attempt
 to make good their escape tonight No trace of their whereabouts was found by those who returned from the days search. Marshal Merrifield has been instructed to spare no expense to recapture the men. Following the robbery of the Limited the two men led riotous life in Butte and Bonners' Ferry Idaho. This aroused suspicion. which led to their arrest at Spokane a few days later. whence they were taken to Kalispel, Mont At this point Mcdonald escaped. dragging an ore gon boot twenty miles before being recaptured. The Kalispel officials then surrendered the prisoners to the federal authorities at Helena.
 From the resemblance of photo graphs it is believed that Mcdonald is none other than Harvey Logan. who about six years ago committed a daring train robbery in Montana on the Great Northern. He was captured in Tennessee and placed in the Knox vile jail. There he made a sensa- tional escape and no trace of him has since been found. The belief that the two robberies were committed by the same person is strengthened by the fact that nothing can~b be learned of McDonald's actions prior to two years ago.
 Three of the posse returned tonight from the hills south of here without discovering any trace of the fleeing bandits They believed that the fug- itives made d detour. swinging to the west instead of heading toward Butte. Two men answering the description of the desperadoes were seen this evening by a rancher west of Helena Sheriff James Shoemaker upon re- ceipt of the information hurried to- ward Elliston with posse to head off the fugitives if they came that way

Don't try to make the stomach do what it cant
DO. Don't stimulate it. don't drive it to action 1t
is like whipping a tired horse.
Let it rest, you would lame ankle. And
Nike the lame ankle the stomach will cure itself
In indigestion the stomach lining is infamed
And the undigested food, by becoming hard irr.
So long as that irritation is allowed to continue
there is no hope of curing the stomach.
Some find that they can't digest all food So
they limit themselves to the food that they can
digest
That means partial starvation. The needs OF
the body call for variety in food. One cannot
diet without starving some part, without losing
some needed nourishment.
Nourishment will do more than anything else
to correct the weakness 1t is vital that you sup
ply it.
The right way is this Eat what you need of
the food that you want Then let kodol for a
little time, do the dgesttng. Nature will do the
rest
You will say, perhaps. that you have tried
ogesters before. But you mistaken.
You may have tried pepsin, but pepsin digests
only aIbumen. You may have tried any of the
numerous digesters which depend almost solely
on pepsin They digest but part of the food
Kodol alone digests all OF the food It is the
only way to do all that the strongest digestive
gans do.
The results are immediate. Kodol is liquid like
the digestive juices. Its action begins as soon as
