WALL STREET
GAMBLING To
BECONTINUED

NEW YORK, April 13-One of the
Wall street news agencies has lately
been calculating an outline of what
purported to be the forthcoming re-
port of the committee Gov. Hughes
appointed to investigate abuses in
stock transactions and the methods OF
the exchanges.
Among the prophecies were several
of rather sensational import. For IN
stance. it was said that the committee
had decided to oppose the abolition
of dealings in futures and short sell
ing. one the ground that the doing
awav with these methods would be
injuries to the best interests of bus
mess.
Portions of the forecast, as printed
on slips. were as follows:
mo radical reforms will be recon
mended. except possibly in the base
of the Metal and Maritime exchanges
in which the commission is said =
have found abuses. The report WI
be marked more for its educational IT
formation than for the reforms it vii
recommend.

dealings in futures will be discussed
extensively, and ii is understood to
be the conclusion of the commission
that the abolition of these methods
of speculation would be Injurious to
the best interests of business. An
effort will be made to set forth the
reason for this conclusion as clearly

cation of the public and to show that
the public clamor for reform in these
features is not based on sound prin-
ciples.
