War on Bucket Shops Is
Aided By Investigation
Governor Hughes Commission Uncopering the Sham B,
Winch Bogus COucerns Secure $780, 100000
per Year from the Public

chicago, Jan 23.-The bucket shops
which annually get approximately
5000, 100000 from speculatively-ben,
people of the United States-a reason
for the persistent warfare which has
been waged against them in the West
for years-seem likely to get officially
their knockout blow as a result of the
investigation by Governor Hughes
commission into speculation. The in
quiry is bringing to light the specific
cases where losses charged to stock
exchanges were in fact due to bucket,
Observation-Disclosures gambling, not in
actual stocks or commodities, but as
bets on ups and downs by a sure-thins
system of the bucket-shop proprietors
The inquiry is keenly watched also
because of the important part that the
West is beginning to play in the in
vestment world. The growth of in
vestment in western securities alone.
as registered by the increasing trans
actions on the Chicago stock exchange
show an awakening interest in secur-
tiles as a desirable form of invest
ment.
Although the commission has not
proceeded far, it has become clear
that the New York commission will
discriminate between bucket-shopping
and similar operations and the legiti-
mate function of the exchanges. A
large part of the complaints against
speculation. the commissioners have
found, prove on investigation to be
due to money lost in bucket shops,
without actual buying or selling of
stock or connection at any point with
an exchange. The commission has
found that the two propositions are so
different that they will have to be
treated separately.
The commission has been hampered
in its work by lack of funds, as no ap-
preparation was made for it, but this
will not restrict the scope of the inves-
tigation, according to Horace White,
the chairman. Subcommittee are be-
ing formed and an effort will be made
to finish the work before the close of
the legislature in the spring.
The chief result of the investigation
SO far has been a valuable discussion
of the nature of speculation, which
has led to many contributions to the
literature of the subject. One of
these, by Colin Armstrong, for %
years financial editor of the New York
Sun, states certain phases of the case
so lucidly that it has been brought to
the attention of the commission
The great majority of the members
and patrons of the stock exchanges are
not gamblers" said Mr.. Armstrong in
his statement. They are not betting
that this or that event will occur, or
that the price of security or commod-
ity will go up or down. They are
investing vast amounts of money in

Curing the Past Year Thous-
ands of Dollars Have Been
Invested in Real Estate in
That Section of Town.
HUNDREDS OF HOMES
OWNED BY LABORERS
Smallest Per Cent of Building
The Past Year in the East
ern Section Was in River
daIe-A Panic Cause.

Eyes of prospective builders are
turned toward the east end where suit
able building lots can be procured at
moderate cost Cheap lots are not
what is wanted by every builder but
because the east end affords lots of
this class and those ranging upward to
two and three thousand dollars a site
is the reason why the prospective
builder looks toward the east end be-
fore making final decision.
This portion of the city is one of
the most decirable in the city for a
home. That this is realized is shown
by the rapidity with which it has built
up in the last few years. With a con-
tinnance of existing good times the
year 1909 will prove record breaker
or at least is expected to.
Why It Is Attractive.
There are many reasons why the
eastern part of the city is attractive;
first it is conveniently situated in
connection with the business section
and again is within easy reach of the
Glen. the summer amusement center of
the community. Again all the NUM-
cipal improvements are included in
this part of the city, a portion of which
are improved streets, alleys and side
walks, sewer facilities, also natural
drainage; streets well lighted by the
municipal light; opportunity to wire
houses with electricity without hav
ing to bring the wires from great
distance; water mains; gas mains, sup
plying both artificial and natural pro-
duct and excellent fire protection, with
hose company No. } located on North
A street between Fifteenth and Six
teenth streets. Besides this the lots
are either improved or can b improv-
ed at moderate cost.
Probably one of the principal rea-
sons for the popularity of this neigh
borhoOd is the class of people living
there In the east end are found many
of the wealthiest people Of the city.
AS far as morals are concerned the
police records show that is seldom
that even drunk is arrested there.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-01-24

modern in every respect, in SO far as
this is possible. considering the cost.
Electric lights, bath room appliances
and furnaces have been installed.
South goth Street Popular.
While the number of houses built
in the second above named district is
not so great yet the value is approx
mately the same by reason of the loca-
ton, and that the properties were
built by the weather. citizens. South
Twenty-first street is one which has
appealed to home seekers. Since the
permanent improvement to South
Twenty-second street by the construc-
ton of cement walks sites there are
being regarded with covetous eyes
Circus Grounds Doomed.
Formerly the South Fifteenth street
comons was circus territory" but per-
sons owning lots there, it is understood
are planning to build Other lots in
this vicinity. but further south are
fast becoming sites for beautiful
homes.
1t is yet early to tell what will be
done in the way of improvements
made during the ensuing year. From
what is learned prospects look good
for the continued upbuilding. There
is considerable talk among lot owners
of constructing homes.
RiverdaIe Improves.
Probably in no part of the city has
there been less improvement than in
Riverdale as it is comonly known. 1t
is doubtful if there were ten houses
built during the entire year, but this
should not be taken as Knock" or
rap" at this part of the town. 1t
must be to the credit of this section
that while very little building was
done that it is now much more desir-
able section of the city than two years
ago. It's pro rata of homes owned by
working men is great and compares
favorably with the other sections of
the city.
In connection with the amount of
building done there last year there is
a reason why it was not great. The
early part of 1908 struck Riverdale
first of all This is true because of the
mostly of mechanics and few colored
people. AS it was the first to notice
the financial furry. it was also the
last to recover. Consequently there
is an excellent reason for the condition
of affairs.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-01-24

ReEorts of other law violations are
very scarce 1t will be recalled that
in neither the Fifth or Sixth wards are
there any saloons. Then again the
schools in these districts or wards are
in reasonable walking distance even
for the pupils in remote sections. An
other feature is that there are many
UNCONVENTIONAL churches in the neigh
borhood.
Many Improvements Made.
1t is estimated that in the borders
of the following outlined district
North Seventh street east to Glen
Miller and north of North c street to
the railroad there was approximately
600, possibly $4,000 spent during
the past year in the erection and re-
modelling of property. In a larger dis
trict bounded as follows-Scuth of
North c street to South B street and
east of Eighteenth street to the cor.
porate limits, there has been at least
$50, 600 to $4,000 spent for such pur-
poses. A third district between Thir-
teenth and Eighteenth streets. south of
Main street shows an expenditure OF
like sum of money. Lying just north
of this district, from Main street to the
railroad there has been less than in
any of the above named districts, but
this is due to the fact that few build
ing sites are procurable. However
there has been considerable remodel
ing done and few houses constructed.
Costly improvements have been made
by the American Seeding Machine Co..
and it is probable that something will
be done in the way of improvement Of
this plant the ensuing year.
Modern Homes Built.
In the first above named district the
building erected were principally in
the neighborhood of North E and
F streets from Twentieth street east,
also several buildings on Twentieth
and Twenty-first streets. These prop
critics were erected at a moderate cost
possibly averaging $500 each. In
the majority of cases the houses were
as homes and have been
occupied by shop hands. In a few in
stances the houses were built solely
for the purposes of revenue. In such
instances the houses have been
promptly rented. The residences are

Must Learn Foreign Language.

Must Learn Foreign Languages.
In almost every European country
army officers are now required tc
know other languages besides theil
own. and in every case the same in
stitution. originally American, the
Berlitz School of Languages. has been
selected for this purpose by the vari
GUS governments. In England. Brig
Gen. w. R. Robinson q the Aldershot
command, through army orders of this
year, ordered the lessons to be given
by the Berlitz school at the Salaman
ca barracks. Wellington Lines.
In Germany, by order of the kaiser
lessons in languages are given by the
Berlitz school at the KriegschuIe In
Potsdam. In Russia the lessons are
given by the st. Petersburg school
and judging by the fact that several
Japanese teachers Of the New Yorh
Berlitz school were transferred to st
Petersburg for that purpose, the Jap
anese language will be one of the
most important. In Spain the Berlitz
school in Madrid has charge of the
courses of the officers, and the king
himself is one Of the most interested
pupils of that school. France, Aus
tria, Italy, Turkey and others have In
trusted the task also to this school
which teaches languages only and in q
most practical way.

The British Navy.

A correspondent in letter to this
department gives the following
method adopted in England in the
matter of furnishing men for the navy
when the men are not picked up of
the street: Excepting for stoker
class. all other classes are entered as
boys, are educated and trained and
after three years on training ship
are passed for duty. Excepting those
whose ability is marked. These are
allowed to spend an additional year in
.he gunnery and torpedo departments.
In passing these are allowed addition
al pay during term of enlistment.
Boys enter the navy of Great Britain
for 12 years, three Of which are spent
in the training ship and nine in the
service At the expiration of IL years
they may re-enlist and serve on for
pension Boys who can qualify and
are able to present recommendations
enter into training at from 13 to 16
years and are passed into the navy
from 16 to 10. The navy is thus filed
with young men from 16 to 28 years.
About 5000 are entered yearly for the
navy.
