STOCK CROOKS SQUELCHED
BY NEW KANSAS LAW.
Must Prove Reliability Before
Making Sales.

Through the militant activities OF
Banking Commissioner Doliey, Kansas
has written a stringent law on its
statute books hat prohibits the sale
of securities by companies that can
not prove their reliability. In an az
ticle by Isaac F. Marcosson in the
Munsey for February Commissioner
Dolley is credited with having said to
the writer:
1T is my ambition to make the Of
flee of bank commissioner an advisory
bureau for every citizen of Kansas.
The protection of the people against
the stock-shark is bigger than banking
supervision or banking reform. 1t is
the approach to banking. for without
the none of the average mar and
woman we could have no banks.
1.-The blue sky law will have its
largest effect only when every State in
the Union adopts some similar safe
guard. Then. backed up by the sup
port of the Federal government. the
nation can clean out the crooks. and
legitimate business enterprise will re-
ceive such universal support from the
savings of the American people as II
has never had before"
Continues the writer: tout of 600
corporations and concerns which have
sought licenses to sell their securities
in Kansas since the passing of the
statute, In March last, just forty-seven
have been admitted.
''The 553 concerns barred out of
Kansas are presumably operating in
other States where the government has
not shown the same concern for the
protection of the people"

YOUTH IS FELLED
NEAR HIS HOME BY
Z NEGRO ROBBERS
Struck Down With Blow on
Head as He Returns
from Theatre.

The police are today Investigating
the nold-up which occurred shortiy
after midnight last night, when jacob
]. Reiher, 10 years old, of 5oS Hign
street, was beaten and robbed wlthin
a hundred feet of his home. Two
negroes were the assailants, taxing
$3.50 and keys which the lad had III
his trouser pockets.
Reiher a attended the theatre n
a. returning home when attacked.
He declared today that he was hurry
ing along with both hands in his over
coat pockets. and when opposite the
south end of Newark Academy the
two negroes sprang at him from be-
hind a tree and telephone pole at that
point.
Before he was aware of their pres
ence one of the negroes had pinned his
arms behind his back and the Other
struck him behind the head. Reifer is
something OF an athlete and we'll
known in basketball circles. He de-
clared thai he has been in some rough
scrimmagcs. but never received a blow
which rendered him as helpless as the
one administered by the negro. Reiher
is sure that his assailant used brass
knuck1es to fell him
While he was stretched on the
ground in a -semi-conscious condition
the highwaymen took the money and
keys. Accusing himself he called for
help, but was too weak to give chase
as he saw the negroes run west on
William street.
Without his keys Reiher could not
get in his house. and when his parents
did not respond to his ringing he ran
TO the First precinct police station and
there informed Sergeant Stucky of
the hold-up. Plainclothesmen O'Gara
and Mcclure were detailed on the
case. The victim described one of the
negroes as tall and well built, wearing
a SLOUGH hat, dark suit and short
brown overcoat. His companion was
short and stout. had on a checked cap
and no overcoat over his dark suit.
