STOCK EXCHANGE!

Railroad and Other Shares Sold
Repeatedly Without Actual
Transfer of Paper.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Figures
showing how railroad and other shares
are sold over and over again on the
New York stock exchange without any
actual transfer were presented to the
Pujo money trust investigating COM
mittee today when that body began it's
actual probe of the American money
market. The figures were given by
Lawrence W. Scudder, a statistician,
who has made deep study of the con-
ditions prevailing on the New York
stock exchange He said that the
transfers of United States Steel stock
represented only about 25 per cent Of
the shares sold
The capital stock of the Reading SUBJ
ject to sale was dealt in thirty times q
year The total Of Erie capital stock, he
said, listed on the stock exchange was
1923, 900 shares. With regard to both
the Erie and Reading. the witness found
the volume of sales was graded when
the shares reached top prices. Inter
meyer developed that brokerage fees on
tn sales of Reading for a year would
amount to seven and one-half per cent
Of the par value. or about 20 per cent OF
the selling value.

explained to the committee to-
day the clearing houses attitude on
the subject Of charges on the collection

'sociation lad made report on the cost
of this matter and he asked that the re-
port be put in the record Samuel I'm

the difference in cost to the New York
bank customers was as the result OF
the enforcement Of the collection rule

asked Untermeyer.
I'VE have not figured that out exact
ly," said Frew, explaining that the fig
ures did not cover that phase of the
question.
Untermeyer asked IL the witness had
seen q statement by Frank A. Wander
lip that the rule meant loss of S3,0O0,-
UOU year 10 the merchants or the
country, Answering the question, Frew
declared that the annual Out-of- town
collections of the New York clearing
house amounted to s4,85s, 900, 600 with
a daily average OF over $14, 900.
Loss 81 $50 Daily.
The loss OF interest on these accounts
figured at four per cent would be about
$1,000 year or about $3.50 day.
The average period of loss due TO COL
lections being four days in which the
banks would be deprived of interest, the
average sum would be something over
$4,000

for Vanderlips claim Of loss of So

While the figures on the number Of

hat the number will approximate the

Fulton countys staggering figures
on divorce can be traced to Georgia's
gentle institution known as the "unde-
Tended divorce" 1t is through the "un-
defended divorce" system that the ma
jority of actions take their course. The
divorce suit that is fought is a rarity in
Fulton county.
Few Cases Defended.

court, except where alimony is involved,
and so seldom does a judge refuse to
grant a wife alimony, no matter how

that but few take the trouble to hire
lawyers and put UP a battle.
According to superior court judges
and especially Judge w. D. Ellis, who
has gone out of his way to study the
Fulton divorce situation, the ease with
which divorce is procured is directly
iue to the law that allows the granting
Of divorce on the uncorroborated testi-
mony Of the plaintiff. According to
Judge Ellis, a man may sue his wife
Lor divorce when she is out of the state,
and charge all manner OF things. He
then gets a divorce through what is
mown as Service by publication and
0S wife remains in utter ignorance of
'Ae whole proceedings until she is no
'hed that the decree has been granted.
