az Large az Expected.

Another large batch OF envelopes
was opened, Friday. by the committees
ia charge OF the collections for the
Florence Crittenton home, with the re-
suit that an additional thousand dol.
lars was received, making the total
thus far $4,000. About 10000 OF the
80 900 envelopes sent out for contri-
buttons have been gathered up. None
OF them contained larger check than
s25, and the committee In charge OF
tie work doesn't expect that more
than $1,000 will be realized by the
campaign. They attribute the lack OF
better showing to the fact that the
work OF the home Is not known very

FRAUDS
Perpetrated
on SMALL
Inve s tors

A large part of the
discredit in the public
mind attaching to
wall Street" is due
to frauds perpetrated
on the small investor
throughout the coun-
try in the sale of
worthless securities
by means of alluring
circulars and adver-
tisements in the news
papers. To the sue
cess of such swindling
enterprises a portion
of the press contrib
utes.
Papers which hon
estly try to distin-
guish between swind-
ling advertisements
and others may not in
every instance sue
coed in doing so; but
readiness to accept adj
vertisements which
are obviously traps
for the unwary is
evidence of a moral
delinquency w h i C h
should draw out the
severest public con-
demnation.
So far as the press
i'm the large cities is
concerned the cOrrec-
ton of the evil lies, in
some measure, in the
hands of the reputable
bankers and brokers.
who, by refusing their
advertising patronage
TO newspapers nOtOrl-
Ously guilty in this re-
spect, could compel
them to mend their
ways, and at the same
time prevent fraudu-
lent schemes from de-
irving an appearance
of merit by association
with reputable names.
