Chicago Especially. -Fe deral
agents are prepared to swoop down
upon 26 branches of the Capital In
vestment Company scattered through
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. I'm
mediate action, it is said, will be
taken in the following cities:
Milwaukee, Racine and Green Bay,
Wis; Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kala-
mazoo and Lansing, Mich. Daven-
port and Muscatine, Iowa; Rockford,
Elkin, Monmouth, Galesburg, East
St Louis, Belvidere and Dekalb, H.;

Made $1O,OOO,OOO a Year.
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 busi-
ness of more than s10,OOO,0O0 an
nually. 1t is said that on one 10
point break in the market the con-
Germ netted 100000 in a 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 ad-
vance information the men in charge
OF the company's Offices would decide
If orders would be filed. The gov
ernment charges that the concern
bought no stocks outright, but took
commission on all orders and then
played the longs" against the
shorts"
Although operated at a loss six
months in the year, because of it's
extended wire service and many
branches, the concern is said to have
been big payer at the end of the
year. 1t has recently been dealing
heavily in cotton.
Successor To Hammond Co.
This concern is a successor to the
Hammond Elevator Company, which
did a big bucket shop business for
number of years. The principal
Offices of the elevator company were
in Hammond, Ind, until the opera
tion of such a 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.
Among the warrants that have
been served in connection with the
case are those for Sidmon Nellie, and
William II. Holligan, of New York,
and William ]. Lloyd. district traffic
manager for the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in Chicago. II Is ex-
pected that II more arrests will be
made here.

The post-ofice receipts at the Flor. ence post-office have averaged about 3,O00S per month since last January Yet it is classed as a fourth-class office. The cash business of the Flor ence office is not equalled by any other fourth-class office in the Territory and exceeded by only first-class offices in the Territory.
