FOR CORPORATION PUBLICITY
Wickersham Also Favors Federal
incorporation Law.

Washington. Dec 14.-Attorney General
wickersham. in discussing to-day his cru
SADIE against bucket shops, advocated pub
licity for legitimate corporations as an as
s,1rance of prosperity and expressed favor
for a properly framed federal lncorpora-
ton law.
publicity, for the legitimate corpora
ton, spells prosperity, in my opinion ne
said. by publicity I mean that business
CORPORATIONS should not conceal the RECORDS
Of their transactions, but should make them
public and should at all times deal fairly
and frankly with their stockholders ana
the public in general. This, in my estirna-
ton. is the best means of encouraging con-
fidence among those who have money 10 IN
vest and among those who are already
stockholders. But. above all, this publicity
and fair dealing would almost entlreiy 90
away with the many wildcat nnanclai
schemes which have thrived IN the past
and which the government is endeaVorlng
to suppress by depriving them OF the use
of the mails and in other ways
within the last few years the American
public has lost many millions OF dollars
through swindling operations in imaginary
enterprises, bucket shops ana get-rlch-
Quick schemes generally, prompted by al
luring advertisements and circulars. If the
investors lad had opportunity 10 know the
real financial condition of these companies
and their business methods their savings
would not have been lost Instead. their
money would have been put into legitimate
business corporations
The main difficulty has been that the
investing public has been unable to distin-
suish because Of the secretive policy main
tanned by so many genuine, bona hde In
stitutions, between the legitimate. and the
illegitimate ones The former can afford to
deal openly with the public, but the get
rich-quick concerns cannot.
There is nothing which would do more
to divert the investments of the country
into honest enterprises than the publicity
of their financial conditions and business
methods The result would necessarily
mean prosperity for all concerned. A fed
eraI incorporation law properly framed
would assist III bringing this about

RULES FIGHT IN HOUSE
Cannon Refuses to Decide Dis
puted Point.
rErorn The Tribune Bureau l


Washington, Dec. 14.-By working all day
the House of Representatives managed to-
day to complete about ten pages of the bill
to codify the laws of the United States, a
measure about as thick as an una bridged
dictionary. Only the lawyers are interested
in the bill or can discuss it intelligently
for that matter, and there was a vigorous
protest when Representative Moon, of
Pennsylvania, chairman Of the committee
having the measure in charge, moved that
il be considered.
This was calendar Wednesday, and many
of the members, Republican and Democrat
ic. who voted for the amendment to the rules
that made this special day an institution,
and realized how much time consideration
of the codification proposition would con-
sumo, hoped that some way could be found
to give bills Of more popular interest the
right Of way.
Representative Fitzgerald. Of New York,
author Of the calendar Wednesday amend
ment, made the point Of order that the
House had the right at any time to dis
place a bill under consideration and ap-
pealed to the Speaker on this point The
Speaker. although sustaining Mr.. Fftzger-
aid, left the matter to the House, which
decided not to displace the revision bill.
The importance Of this action lies in the
fact that the organization leaders. unless
the House should decide to turn in its own
tracks now have the power to use this
codifcation bill for the remainder Of the
session to block the way Of other measures
which ordinarily would come up for action.
When the House adjourned at 4:45 p m.
intense disgust was expressed by the non
legal members. They threaten to organize
by next calendar Wednesday to turn the re-
,ici hill down

take puff from the dope pipe" Mr..
Payne seemed especially wary.
DR.. Koch brought TO the hearing samples
Of almost every drug that ever induced
man to dream. He talked while and then
drove his points home with a practical de-
nonstration of just how opium and other
narcotics are sold and used. He declared
that the cocaine habit is an essentially
American vice, and that almost so per cent
Of the criminal classes are addicted to its
use. The majority of the criminal assaults
in the South, he said, could be traced TO
the use Of drugs by negroes. The drug
habit. lac declared. is OH the increase and
is extending To the professions, especially
