Auburn Mayor
Defies Game
Warden Geilus
Slaughter Of Squirrels Continues De.
spite Visit of State Official
to the Town.

AUBURN, Neb., June I6.-(Special)-
Chief State Game Warden Dan Geilus ar
rived in Auburn at noon on Tuesday with
the avowed intention Of taking in hand
prosecution OF the city officials for the
killing Of squirrels. Shortly after his ar
rival he went to the office OF II. A. Lam
bert, county attorney, where Mayor Nc
Carly soon called upon him. Their con-
versation was free from any indications
OF anger by either party. Mr.. Geilus stated
that Il was not a personal matter with
him and that he was here to enforce the
laws. Mayor McCarty told him hat he
could not in this county enforce the law
prohibiting killing Of squirrels. Mr.. Geilus
asked Mr.. McCarty IL he had had any
squirrels killed In Auburn. Mr.. McCarty
replied that he had. M. Geilus then asked
him II he had had them all KILLED. The
mayor Informed him that most of them
had been killed, but that there were a few
that had not yet been found. Mr. Geilus
then wished to know II he was going "a
continue the killing Of them; TO which
the mayor replied that he would have the
killing TO continue until all the squirrel,
in the city had been exterminated
Mr.. Geilus then told the mayor that Il
any squirrels were killed in the city Will,
he was here that he would prosecute ,tht
parties. Mr.. McCarty replied he would cal
up the chief of police and have some killed
at once II they could be found and stepped
to the 'pnone. called up the chief of police
and In the presence of Mr.. Geilus instructed
the chief to try to find a squirrel at large
and kill the same. and to bring the sam,
to the mayors office. The mayor then told
Mr.. Geilus that he would soon have a deaC
squirrel for him. Within about thirty min,
utes the chief of police had killed a spur.
rel aad had taken it and left 1t at tn,
mayors office. The mayor also Informed
Mr.. Geilus that in his prosecution he was
willing for Mr.. Geilus TO select the jury
as he knew that six men could. not be-
found in the town who would convict undeI
the circumstances. He also informed Mr.
Geilus that he had no doubt that within
the next thirty days no less than 200
squirrels would be killed in this county
and that no jury could be found In thi!
county that would convict any one of at
~offense for such killing; that the people
here had raised and fed the squirrels ant
would exercise their own judgment as Il
killing them.
Mr.. Geilus was in consultation with. the
county attorney a good deal of the tins
during the remainder of his stay il
Auburn, but at 10 o'clock this morning lief
on the Lincoln train without having dom
anything in the matter. The action of tn,
city officials meets the universal approva
of the people of this town and county anC
any prosecution would be a waste Of tim,
and money; and almost without an excep
ton they resent the actions of. the gam,
warden.

WILL FIGHT ON
FOR INCOME TAX
Continued from First Page.)

do nit like the idea OF substituting
amendment imposing a tax on the net
earnings of corporations, was manifested
BY the discussion tonight. 1t was argued
by Mr.. Borah that 1t is unjust to tax the
earnings of a corporation and let a part
nership in the same line of business es-
cape. Such legislation, he declared, only
can be explained by the fact that there
is a wave Of antipathy to the corporations
that lead many people to believe that they
are objects of legitimate prey.
Democratic Position Unknown.
What the position Of the democrats in
the senate will be when President Taft's
program IL submitted for a vote has not
been determined. A caucus on the sub
ject will be held tomorrow evening. Sem
ator Bailey, author of one Of the income
tax amendments assured progressive re-
publicans today, that the democratic SEN
ators would remain true to their endorse
ment of an income tax law made at a
caucus several weeks ago. @
A meeting of the republican RENDERS OF
the finance committee was held tonight but
the presidents message was not taken. uT
formally. It vase discussed between Chair
man Aldrich and some of his colleagues
on the committee and the opinion was ex'
pressed that 1t would be wise to call al
of tne~members together to consider thu
message. The meeting will be held either
during the day tomorrow or on Frida!

Commodity ExchnnRes.

In its report on the exchanges that deal
in agricultural products the committee
quotes the report Of the industrial commits
sion of congress in 1901, showing that sell
ing for future delivery, based upon a fore
cast Of future conditions of supply and
demand, is an indispensable part of the
worlds commercial machinery, by which
prices are as far as possible equallzed
throughout the year to the advantage of
both producer and consumer. The com
mittee then says:
Buying for future delivery causes adj
Vances In prices; selling short tends to re-
strain inordinate advances. In each case
there must be a buyer and a seller, and
the interaction of their trading steadIes
prices. Dealings for outsiders are usually
upon a 10 per cent margin; obviously, If
this MAJ gin were increased generally, say
to 20 per cent, a considerable part of the
criticism due to losses in speculation, par
t~icularly as to the Cotton exchange, would
be eliminated.
The disapproves transactions
In mining shares on the Produce exchange
in the following language:
From our examination Of the trading in
mining stocks recently introduced we con
clude that the lack of experience Of this
body lin this class of business has re-
suited In a neglect of proper safeguards
to the investor and an undue Indictment
to speculative transactions of a gambling
nature, and should not be tolerated on the
Produce exchange.

Curb Market.

The unorganiEed status OF the Curb mar
kst, especially with reference to mining
shares is discussed by the committed, as
follows:
Bitter complaints have reached us OF
frauds perpetrated upon eoRfiding persons,
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-17

who have been induced to purchase mining
shares because they are quoted on me
curb; these are frequently advertised IN
newspapers and circulars sent through the
mails as so quoted.
Notwithstanding the lack OF proper
supervision and control over the admis-
sion OF securities to the privilege Of QUOTA
ton, some OF them are merttorious, ana
In this particular the curb market performs
a useful function The existence OF the
cited abuses does not. in our Judgment
demand the abolition Of the curb market
Regulation is, however, imperative. About
IS per cent of the business of the curb
comes through the offices Of members OF
the New York Stock exchange, but a pro
vision Of the constitution Of that exchange
prohibits its members from becoming mem
bers Of, or dealing on any other stock eN-
change in New York. Accordingly,
operators on the curb market have not at
tempted to form an organization. The
attitude Of the stock exchange is there
fore largely responsible for the existence
OF such abuses as result from the want OF
organization Of the curb market.
The Stock exchange should compel the
formation and enforcement of such rules
as may seem proper for the regulation Of
business on the curb, the conduct OF those
dealing thereon, and, particularly. for the
admission Of securities to quotation.
The abuse OF advertising is gone into
at some length, the committee declaring
that much OF the discredit in the public
mind attaching to Wall street is due to
frauds perpetrated by means of a~lluring
advertisements.
Papers which honestly try to distinguish
between swindling advertisements and
others, may not In every instance sue
coed in doing so, but readiness to accept
advertisements which are obviously traps
for the unwary is evidence of a moral de-
~linquency which should draw out the Sc
verest public condemnation.
Another serious evil is committed by men
who give standing to promotions by serv-
ing as directors without full knowledge
or the affairs of the companies. AT

vertlses falsely concerning a corporation

lily for the same shall be guilty of a mis-.
demeanor.
With reference to bucket-shops It is
recommended that a feature OF the Massa.
chusetts law be adopted making 1t neces.
sary for conviction to show only that the
bucket-shop Keeper intended the trade tc
be settled by differences and not by trans.
fer of property. 1t is advised also that a
law be passed providing that, so far a,
the transmission of continuous quotations
is concerned, telegraph companies shall no
be deemed common carriers. or be com.

such quotations to any persons; also a Law

Cotton

The New York Cotton exchange is de-
scribed as the worlds clearing house for
the staple" Selling for future delivery Is
declared to be necessary to the harmonious
and uninterrupted movement Of the staple
from produoer to consumer. OF speculation
the committee reports:
There have been in the past instances
or excessive and unreasonable speculation
upon the Cotton exchange, notably the
Suily speculations of 1904. We believe that
there is also a great deal of speculation OF
the gambling typ mentioned in the intro
auction to this report. In our opinion, the
Cotton exchange should take measures to
restrain and so far as possible prevent
these practices by disciplining members who
engage in them. The officers of the ex-
change must in many cases be aware of
these practices and could, in our opinion,
do much to discourage them.
The rule of the Coffee exchange provid-
Ing that in case of a corner the officials
may fix a settlement price is commended
by the committee.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-17

D@o IA
The exchanges dealing with fruit and
hay are not concerned with speculation.
The committee, however, disapproves the
practices on the Mercantile exchange and
the Metal exchange on the ground that
their quotations are not a record of actual
transactions. On the Mercantile, says the
report, there are some 'desultory opera
tions in so-called future contracts in butter
and eggs" but the published quotations
are made by a committee.
That committee is actually close cor
poration of the buyers of butter and eggs,
and the prices really represent their views
orally should be ready to buy from the
farmers and country dealers.
similar, but equally deceptive, is the
method of making quotations of the Metal
exchange. In spite of the apparent ac-
tvtty OF dealings in this organization In
published market reports, there are no act
ual sales on the floor Of the Metal ex-
change, and we are assured that there
have been none for several years. Prices
are, however, manipulated up and down by
a quotation committee of three, chosen an
nually, who represent the great metal sell
Ing agencies as their interest may appear,
affording facilitiesN for fixing prices on
large contracts, mainly for the profit of a
small clique, embracing, however, some of
the largest interests in the metal trade.
These practices result in decelYing buyers
and sellers. The making and publishing Of
quotations for commodities or securities
by groups of men, calling themselves an eX-
change, or by any other similar title,
whether Incorporated or not. should be
prohibited by law, where such quotations
DO not fairly and truthfully represent any
bona fide transactions on such exchanges.
Under present conditions. we are of the
opinion that the Mercantile and Metal eX-
changes do actual harm to producers and
consumers, and that their charters should
be repealed.
The committee closes with a review Of
the experience OF Germany in restricting
exchanges and points out the unfavorable
results OF the German legislation. There
Is an addendum concerning the complaint
of the New York Bank Note company
that the Stock exchange prevents any com
pany except the American Bank Note COM
| pany from engraving any securities dealt
in on that exchange, After a discussion
OF this complaint, and the answer OF the
Stock exchange thereto, the COMMITTEES
says, 1T would seem that other considera-
tons than the goodness OF the work and
ca~refulness in guarding the plates are
here operative, and that the Stock ex-
change has not rid itself Of the evils OF
monopoly"
The report is signed by the members OF
the committee as follows: Horace White
