TAKE APPEAL
To Federal Supreme Court in
Injunction Case under the
"Blue Sky" Law.

CHARLESTON, Dec. 23.-While
State Auditor John S. Darst has been
restrained by injunction issued by the
federal district court from proceeding
against s. H. Bracey under the blue
sky law, 1t is his intention to make
an appeal to the supreme .cort of the
United States, and in the meantime
he will continue to enforce the law in
all other cases, it being his belief that
this is entirely proper, pending a de-
ision as to its constitutionality by the
court Of last resort.
The state auditor says 1t Is his duty
to make every endeavor to carry out
the wishes of the people as expressed
by their legislature.
He declares that this. regulation is
desired by the citizens and that it
would result in great loss IL the en-
forcement Of the law were abandoned
and the state thus thrown open to the
class Of promoters and companies
that have been driven from the state
by the law,
IF the law can be amended 80 as
to overcome the objections found by
the court, and at the same time pre-
serve its effectiveness" said Mr..
Darst, I'VE will endeavor to obtain
such amendments; II this cannot be
done, we will do our utmost TO keep
