The headquarters Of the concerns are
in New York
The investigation OF the ramifications
of the bucketshops was assigned by the
State Department to Attorney General
Wickersham. In short time so much
evidence had been accumulated that the
Attorney General became personally in
terested. His investigations showed that
the bucketshop business was controlled
by a group Of unscrupulous specuIators,
less than fifty in number, in New York,
Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl, Baltimore, Boston and Jersey City.
There was no Federal law under which
the Attorney General could proceed
against the bucketshops, but there is
law for the protection Of the citizens
OF the District OF Columbia, !" and an
act Of Congress passed March /, 1909,
relating to bucketshops Under these
laws Attorney General Wickersham inn

dictments and handed them down in

There is feeling In the air about the
Department Of Justice that the bucket
shop industry will receive blow which
it can never recover from. Attorney
General Wickersham has personally in
spected the affair and he will make a
strenuous effort to send at least some of
the big fish, to Jail.
1t is said the original motive for the
investigation lay in the numerous scam
dals arising from Government clerks
and subordinates playing the market
in bucketshops.
