Chicago Especially. - F e d eral
agents are prepared to swoop down
upon rs branches of the Capital In

eight Middle Western States. Fol-
lowing the sensational raid on the
main offices and four branches of this
company in Chicago and branches
in Joliet and Aurora, ILL.,, Thursday
this roundup will mark one of the
most extensive movements in the his
tory OF the governments war against
alleged get-rich-quick concerns. Iw-
rnediute action, it is said, will be
taken in the following cities:
Milwaukee, Racine anG Green Bay,

According to agents of the Depart
ment of Justice, the Capital Invest
ment Company controlled 5000 miles
of leased wires to supply these
branches with news of the New York
stock market, and was doing a bust
ness of more than $10,000,000 an
nually. 1t is said that on one 10
point break in the market the con-
Germ netted 100000 in single day.
The government alleges that the
firm dealt with its customers on a
basis of Heads / win; tails you
lose" In this connection Federal
agents say that the company con-
trolled two fast New York wires
which were beating the ticker with
regular market quotations by from
three to five minutes. With this adj
vance information the men in charge
of the company's Offices would decide
if orders would be filled. The gov
eminent charges that the concern
bought no stocks outright, but took a
commission on all orders and then
played the longs" against the
shorts
Although operated at loss six
months in the year, because of its
extended wire service and many
branches, the concern is said to have
been a big payer at the end of the
year. 1t has recently been dealing

This concern is a successor to the
Hammond Elevator Company, which
did big bucket shop business for
number of years. The principal
Offices Of the elevator company were
in Hammond, Ind, until the opera
ton of such concern in that State
was made a felony. The Hammond
Elevator Company was then dissolv-
ed and the Capital Investment Com
pany was organized under the laws of
Illinois.
