Forces to Battle for
National Amendment.
Will Put All Candidates on
Record if Congress Fails.

Atlantic City N. J.. July 6.-Before
the next election, every candidate for
a seat in congress will have to put
himself on record in the matter of
his views on prohibition. unless the

of the country who assembled here at
the call of Foster Copeland, president
of the National City bank of Column

blue sky department today sent out a
"feeler'' for the meeting that spells
trouble for fake promotion com panies.
1t is the plan of Benson and Seaton
not only to bring to Topeka repre-
sentatives from corporation and blue
sky departments in nearly every state
in the Union, but to interest the fed
eral government in the nation wide
fight against questionable stock sell
ling concerns. If the plan outlined
today is worked out by the various
states, the states and federal govern
ment will combine to protect the pub
lie against hundreds of fake corpora
tions.
Saving of Millions.
The organization means the saving
of millions of dollars a year to busi-
ness men and farmers, according to
Benson.
Nearly half of the states now have
blue sky laws on their statute books.
So it is only logical, Benson, believes,
that Kansas which paved the way to
drive fake stock company promoters
out of business, should launch the
campaign for nation wide protection
of investors. In the fight, the govern
ment will be asked to take hand. A
letter will be addressed to the post
master general and he will be urged
both through the state banking de-
Washington to send one or more rep
resentatives to the Topeka meeting
Spread Good Work.
"Our plan" explained Seaton today,
sis to bring to Topeka this fall the
representatives of corporation and
blue sky departments of the various
states. Even states which do not at
this time have a blue sky law on their
statute books, will be urged to send
representatives from their corporation
department.
Through the organization of a ma
Lional blue sky which is
hoped will result from the Topeka
meeting-the various states will ex-
change confidential advice and in
formation concerning corporations

German Admiralty Absolutely Certain No Submarine Torpedoed Steam
 CT Hesperian.

Berlin, Sept. 21.-The German ad- miralty is now absolutely certain that the Allan line steamer Hesperian was not destroyed by German subma- rine. All the underwater boats which were out at the time of the disaster have now returned to their bases, the Associated Press is author itatively informed and 1t is said that none of them torpedoed the steamer.
 On the contrary, it is said that the admiralty is convinced the disaster was due to a floating non-German mine. As confirmation of the admir- atty belief it is pointed out that mine painted green and white, and which it is declared was not German mine, the coast of Ireland in the vicinity where the Hesperian was blown up.
 London, Sept. 21.-With respect to the German denial of responsibility for the sinking of the Allan line steamer Hesperian, the British official press bureau has issued the following statement:
 "Undoubted proof exists that Ger man submarine was actually in the locality where the Hesperian was at- tackled and ships were sunk both to the north and south of this spot on September 4 and 5. The explosion was of the type caused by a torpedo now in. the possession of the admir- alty, which was picked up on board the ship before she sank"
