at the next sitting OF the grand jury.
Every effort has been made by his
friends TO have the case dropped, but
this was refused by Assistant District

of d too serious nature TO treat lightly.
Mr.. Given said last night that he felt
the forgery charge should be sifted to
the bottom. although every person in
volved in the forgeries has sought to
have the case quashed.
The information against Waple makes
one specific charge. that Of uttering to
Minnie c. TribDv a note for a small
amount, to which the name of Adam
L. Chapman was forged Mr.. Given said
Waple had forged a series of notes, and
that the grand jury could find indict-
ments on several notes held by the gov
ernment.

sought to keep from the public the
names of those found to be sharks -

Secretary Andrew for several hours, 'and
a decision was not reached until after 6

BUCKET SHOPS

The Washington herald., 1911-03-31

Wright grew out of simultaneous raids
in April, 1910. on so-called bucket shops
in New York. Washington. Baltimore.
Philadelphia, Chicago, and St Louis.
These raids We're based on indictments
returned in the District of Columbia,
following a comprehensive and expensive
investigation by special agents of the
Department of Justice. The investiga-
tion was undertaken by Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham, and attorneys repre-
senting the Department Of Justice took
charge of the matter before the Federal
grand jury, the district attorneys Office
being practically ignored in the matter.
About twenty men were indicted in all.
Six New Workers. who were indicted in
January last pleaded guilty and were
fined a total of $500 Three OF them
also had imposed on them Jail sentences
OF two years each. but these sentences
were suspended. il is understood, with
the understanding they would not In
the future engage in the bucket shop
business.
Claim. of Attorneys.
Justice WriGht's decision was given in
connection with a demurrer filed by Ed
ward Altemus. Louis Celia. Angelic Celia,
and other alleged bucket-shop men. Tho
attorneys for these men claim that the
only construction of which the phrasa-
oloey of the amendments of the code is
susceptible would give them an opera
ton so broad as 10 prohibit the pu7-
chase by citiz'ns of anything movable
that is bought or sold, as we'll a: the
purchase OF any securities whatever, and
therefore, they claimed, the amendments
penalzed indiscriminately and generally
the making of contracts by citizcls. ard
thus destroyed that liberty Of tho citizens
to make contracts which the Constitution
protects
Justice Wright sustained this c0ntcn-
ton. stating that the court is driven
to the conclusion that If the meaning OF
language is any longer 10 be considered
an element in the construction of STAT
utes. the phraseoloEy Incorporated in
these sections penalties generally and in
Discriminatory the making of contracts,
and that the act is therefore. void.
The decision also held. in addition. that
the amendments, or sections, were am
biguouS.
The other alleged bucket-shop operators
whose cases are covered by Justice
Wright's decision are Samuel Adler of
hfaSO. Henry }. DurSed ana NhdrieS
+. Alley. of Washington; c. a. Tilis,
William Fox. Robert Hall. Samuel Ray
mond Oscar Rappold. f. NJ. Browning,
and Henry c. Stumph. of Baltimore. The
six New Workers who also were indicted
on chars.s of conspiracy to violate the
District code concerning bucket shops.
and who pleaded guilty on January
last were Richard +. Preusser, Leo
MAYER. Georgo Turner all Of whom were
fined $40 each: T.. :. RogGs, O. J. Rob
inson. and Humphrey Owen, who were
fined 500 each. Prison sentences were
pronounced upon PreusSer Mayer. and
Turner. but were suspended.
In this connection il is noted as a CO.
incidence that it was Justice Wright who
vas then. a. now. sitting in Criminal
ourt No |. who received the pleas OF
guilty and assessed the fines and pro-
nounced and suspended the prison SEN
fences
The Washington herald., 1911-03-31
The Fines Were Paid.

The men paid their ines. aggreCating
$500 in all and PrruSser, acting as
spokesman for himself ard the others
told the court there had been no intcn-
tIcnaI violation Of the Ia " OF the Dis
trict of Columbia, and the stock brokers'
business in which they were engaged in
New York was organized under one Of
the States best known attorneys. He
said nc and the others looked upon their
exchange transactions as legitimate, but
they had been informed by their counsel
here that their business fell within the
r. rohibition of the District Of Columbia
law, and they therefore pleaded guilty
The attorneys who filed the demurrer
which was sustained By Justice Wright
were A. 6. Worthingtnn. Charles L.
Frailey and John c. Giddngs
The amendments or sections held TO be
unconstitutional by Justice Wright rep
resent an attempt by Congress to specif-
icaIly prevent bucketing and bucket
shops in the District of Columbia. How
ever. they say that if the decision is
Ultimately sustained. unless Congress
passes new legislation or the subject.
the Department of Justice will be with
out any law to undertake further in
vestigation or prosecution of bucket shops.
