are to blame. Corporations may be

issued under the seal of the State
with absolutely no property or value
whatever behind it. This stock,
which costs only the price of print
ing. is then sold to the confiding
public under promises of big divi-
dends and profits. The amount OF
money lured from the public on
these schemes is really alarming.

notorious get-rich-quick offices OF
Purr Bros, New York City, and ar
rested three of the members OF the
firm. They were held in heavy ball,
and in default of security were
locked up. The business of TINS
firm was the selling of worthless
stocks, principally in mining ana Oh
companies. The inspectors estimate
that this concern sold stock ut par
value to the amount of forty or flf-
tv millions and it is thought that
the profit of the promoters Is at
least S15,OOO,000. OF course, the
