Membership Not Increased

MT. Sturgis declared an increase of membership was unnecessary fer th, present membership was well able to handle the publios business.

Cannot Prevent Pools

oontended would entail an almost pro- hititive amount of bookkeeping.
 Cannot Prevent Pools
 Air Stnrgls through q grilling de- tailed examination, Insisted that the stock exchange could not prevent ma nipu1ation of the market by pools and ayndicates. He said they could not go behind transaction to discover e buyer or sellers motives.
 On this point Mir. Sturgls and eoun- sel for the committee had spirited argument.
 'Is 1t legitimate for member of the exchange to give an order to sell n certain amount of stock to on3 broker and an order to buy the same amount of the same stock to another broter?" asked Mr. Untermeyer
 50 long as thefe is no collusion and the commissions are paid it's not illegitimate." said MT. sturgis |.
 The important point is that the brokers commission be paid?' asked the lawyer.
 Yes"
 You know that the object of thar sort of transaction is to raise or de- press the price of the stock"
 The object Is to create an active market
 "A market that appears to De active, you mean?'
 Yes"
 MT. Untermeyer sought in Yain to get from Mir Sturgis his view of the posi- ton of the trading public in such transaction with the stock at fictitious figure and finally objected to the form of the witness answers
 You are asking me moral question. and I'm answering Stock exchange question: said MT. Sturgis with smile. and the committee laughed. The wit ness insisted that these transactions were beyond the power of legislating for dis cipne so long as the commissions were paid.
 .ff Exchange Relations Shown
 The relations of the New York Stock exchange and the Consolidated Stock exchange came in for share of Mir. Sturgis' attention after the examination of half a dozen members of the Consol- dated Exchange. who declared that the stock exchange rules forbid it's members to do business with Consolidated brokers. or anyone connected with the Consolila- ted. Mir Sturgis asked to be allowed to make statement on this point. He said that the Consolidated had always been a competitor of the stock exchange and that sometimes the feeling Of rivalry grew bitter. He went to say that in 1909 tho stock exchange endeayored to force the Western Uion Telegraph company to withdraw from the consoli- dated exchange two stock tickers over which the Western Union was delivering New York Stock Exchange quotations. The Consolidated took the matter To court and retained the tickers.
 'erhen the rule was passed forbiddirg stock exchange members to do business with Consolidated brokers" he said. You just wanted to punish the Con- soldated?1 suggested Mir. Untermeyer. No, we wanted to protect ourselves 'srhe Consolidated chages just one half as much for commissions for doing the public's business as you do?' Yes"
 Hasn't that something to do with the i'll feelngg
 well, no; don't think so." If the Consolidated doubled its com- mission charge there would be no trou- ble would there? sA After some discussion Mir. sturgis said: -~-~------~-~~~---~~----~

FIVE ARE IMPLICATED :
Academy Authorities Impose Penalty
Of Fifty Dement'S on Youths I'M
plicated in Club Room Raid.

An Investigation by board of ma
+ val officers. following "a raid on "a
room in local business establish
( ment. indicates that the place was
used as a clubroom where midshipmon
obtained intoxicants.
The Academy authorities have visit
ed rather severe punishment upon five
midshipmen because Of their connec-
tion with the place. Fifty demerits
each and restriction to the Academy
limits until April were imposed i'm
each case. The names Of the midship-
men have been withheld. but il is un-
derstood from reliable sources that
one Of them is a first classman and
the other four second classmen.
The room in Que ;tiOu is in the soc
ond story Of a building on Maryland
avenue, the main portion of which is
occupied as a Photographic studio.
The raid was made Jointly by the ma
val and civil authorities, and al
though no midshipman was discover
ed on the premises the matter was
the subject Of thorough investiga-
tion, with the result that the investi-
gators secured damaging evidence
against five.
The room was found pretty we'll
stocked with eggnogg, champagne,
sherry and other drinks. The guilty
midshipmen were informed Of their
punishment through an order pro-
mulgated before the brigade. and, Incl
dentally, the authorities took occasion
to call the attention of the students
TO the regulations prohibiting mid
shipmen renting rooms for any pur-
pose in thelcity.
1t is said that punishment similar
to that in the present cases has been
imposed upon several other midship-
men for drinking.
