Washington, d. c., March Ii
President Roosevelt has directed
Herbert Knox Smith of the bureau
of corporations to investigate the
methods of stock trading with a
view to furnishing basis of possible
future legislation regulating such
practices. The difficulty is recogniz-
ed of attempting federal regulation
of transfers of stocks which will op-
ssate to curtail purely gambling con-
Tracts and at the same time work
no hindrance to legitimate transfers
and 1t is announced to be for the
purpose of proceeding on sound
principles that the investigation is
being made.
President Roosevelt has declared
himself to be decidedly in favor of
eliminating stock gambling. For
several months the president has
ben in receipt from time to time,
of communications from various in
terested persons urging him to lend
his influence to secure the enact
ment of national legislation prohibit

The president informally discussed

corporations, these communications
and subsequently submitted some Of
them to Secretary Strauss of the
department of commerce and labor
+, with request that Commissions
Smith make general inquiry into th'
practicability Of attempting to hav'
such legislation enacted.
In a memorandum transmitting tn
matter to Commissioner Smith, Sec
rotary Strauss directed him to in
vestigate the subject with specia
reference to the enactment of sucl
laws lin other coutries, particular,
4 Germany, and to make repor
which could be submitted to tn
4 president for his information.
