Object of Measure Explained.

AS explained by the Commissioners, the
object of the bill is to regulate the sell
ing, offering for sale or negotiating for
sale stocks, bonds and other securities of
partnerships, companies corporations
which are not lifted on the New York or
Washington stock exchanges, and whose
affairs are not supervised by federal or
local authorities.
There is an adaptation of the British
corporation acts, in reference to the is
suance of prospectus and the liability of
directors and promoters; and there is an
attempt to compel the publishers of pros
pectuses to tell the truth.
| The bill is aimed chiefly at those con-
Germs that deal in valuelesS mining stocks
| or other securities, issued mainly for the
profit of the promoters. 1t is the claim
of the protesting brokers who have been
heard from by the Senate District COM
mttee that the bill goes too far. and
would interfere with legitimate business.
They say they approve of the object of
the bill.

For Grading of Street.

Another amendment to the District ap-
preparation bill, proposed by Senator Gal
linger, would provide $4,000 for grading
and improving 10th street from Montague

communication forwarded to the Senate
appropriations committee through the
Treasury Department, for $1,000 addition
al to the dollar appro-
priation for the extension of the colored
mems ward and dining room for the
Home for the Aged and Infirm.
All the suggested additions to the Dis
trict bill were referred to the Senate
committee on appropriations and will be
taken up by the subcommittee on the Dis
trict bill within a few days.

preparation Bill Provides

a life job, the same as the justiceship Of
the United States Supreme Court and
the District Supremt Court, If an amend
ment to the District appropriation bill
proposed by Senator Johnston Of Ala
bama becomes a law. The term is now
six years, and it has not been the GUS
tom to give judges many reappointments.
The amendment carries a provisO that
the incumbents of the Police Court bench,
Alexander r. Mullowny and James l..
Pugh, will continue in office.

Building Erected in 1847.

The mill building was erected in 1S47,
and the company that operated it is said
to be the only flour milling concern in
the District of Columbia. Between 90
600 and 10000 bushels of wheat We're
stored in the building.
S. c.. Crop1ey, vice president of the
George w: Cissel Company, said that the
loss is fully covered by insurance. He
said the exact estimate of loss had not
been determined, but he did not think it
would be more than $4,000. Mr.. Cropley
held conference with Mr.. Cissel, presi-
dent of the company, this morning, and
stated later that steps would be taken at
once to reconstruct the damaged building
or to erect new building the site.
The flour mill company was the first
firm to make shipment over the new
freight branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad to enter Georgetown, which
was completed last year. This shipment
consisted of a carload of flour consigned
to a Chicago firm.
During the progress of the fire No. 81
engine company was called to the home
of S. Seward Cissel, member of the
firm, at 1915 31st street northwest, where
a fire had started in a chimney. The
blaze was eXtinguished before any dam
age resulted

Alleged Undesirable Investments.

| IAN examination of the official lists of
the Washington and New York stock ex-
| changes and perhaps of other stock eX-
| changes will show many undesirable in
vestments, some of these possessing little
or no merit says one letter.
The same writer continues:
| "And yet under the provisions of this
| proposed measure these securities are to
be accepted without question. while imped-
| imentS impossible to surmOunt are thrown
| in the way of tens of thousands of sound
| mortgage bonds, which, while not listed
on any stock exchanges, issued by
gas and electric companies, light and
power companies, interurban and urban
! traction companies, steam railroad COM
panies and other corpora atoms which are
doing and have been doing a prosperous
business in various parts of the country
over period of years.
In many cases. some of the protesting
brokers allege, it would be a physical
impossiblity to file with the -superintend-
ent Of insurance documents, necessary
for license, such as is required by the
bill

sees no reason why the stock exchanges

BROKERS MAKE WAR SWE
Protest Against Measure Reg
uIating Stock Sales.
CLASSED AS AN INJUSTICE
Dealers Arrayed Against Phases of
Commissioners Bill to Protect
Investors in Securities.

Brokers and other dealers in invest
ment securities in the District have be-
gun fight against the passage by Con-
gress of the bill recently recommended
by the Commissioners ito protect invest
ors in stocks, bonds and other securities
in the District of Columbia
A vigorous protest against the measure
by Chris Cox Dawson has been filed in
the Senate by Senator Gallinger, and the
Senate District committee is in receipt of
other protests against the legislation.
That the measure goes too far, is
unwieldly and impracticabie and would
do much harm to brokers and clients who
would deal in perfectly good. but unlisted
securities, is the charge that is being
made.
'While l would welcome gladly any bill
which would eliminate the sale of fraudu-
lent stocks and bonds" Mr.. Dawson has
written, lit seems to me that this meas
ure would tend to destroy all chances
of doing business in the District of Co
lumbia. 1 note that all stocks and
bonds listed on the Washington and
New York stock exchanges are ex-
cepted: in other words. you take for
granted that these securities are SUI
perior to all others, when in reality
there are securities on both exchanges
that in point of security are absolutely
without merit.

George W. CisseI Company's
FIGURING Mills Damaged.
LOSS PLACED AT $4,000
Early Morning Blaze Calls Out Large
Section of Fire Department
Apparatus.

Fire discovered shortly after 2 o'clock
this morning completely Quilted the
George W. Cissel Companys flour mills
at Potomac and Water streets, George
town, the loss being about $4,000. A
citizen who was passing the mill no.
ticed flames in window on the top floor
of the building. He sounded an alarm
and engine companies l, and 23 and
truck company No. 2 and the fireboat
Flrefghter responded, with Deputy Chief
Henry in command. The deputy chief
promptly sent in second alarm, and
three other engines and two truck COM
panies were quickly on the ground. Chief
Wagner, who obeyed the second alarm
sent in a third call for assistance, and
three additional engine companies and a
truck company were secured.
The engine companies which arrived on
the first alarm connected up to the fire
plugs and soon had several streams of
water pouring into the building. The
companies responding to the second
alarm secured the water from the Po-
tomac river, which is but hundred
yards away from the mills. The fire.
men were forced to break the ice in the
river before they could place the intakes
into the water. When the engines began
ever, eight men were needed to hold the
hose. so strong was the power.
The flames were shooting high into the
air and the changing of fire bells and the
illumination attracted hundreds of spec
tators. The police reserves of the sew
enth and third precincts went to the fire
and kept the crowds at safe distance
while the firemen worked.
The District of Columbia paper mill is
Just across Potomac street, opposite the
Touring mills, and the firemen bent their
efforts in keeping the flames from spread
ing to that building. which was recently
erected: They We're successful On the
west side of the mill is located build
ing occupied by the American Ice Com
pany. The firemen also kept the blaze
from reaching that structure.
The upper portion of the MILL where
the fire started, was rapidly burned out.
1t is thought that sparks from some of
the machines set fire TO the grain.

Propriety Questioned.

II cannot quite understand why the
power of selecting investments for the
residents of the District of Columbia
should be placed in the hands of the
superintendent of insurance. Why not
the health department or the superin
tendent of street cleaning? No doubt
both of these latter gentlemen would
be better qualified to pass on the mer-
its of scurities.
You must know that there are a large
number of unlisted securities, such as
public service bonds and stocks, the
bonds. more particularly. being secured by
real estate and property on first mort
gage that makes them absolutely secure,
and yet a broker selling these securities
would be subject to fine and imprison-
ment unless the same were approved by
the superintendent of insurance. or he
would be forced to go through lot of
red tape before the sale could be made.
In fact, there is hardly a feature of the
bill that is not restriction the
liberty of the citizens of the District of
Columbia who are engaged in the selling
of securities
Several of the protesting writer's have
their hammers out for some of the
stocks that are listed on the Washing
ton and New York exchanges.
