Who are the brokers responsible for
the transactions during this periodY
Who made the profits?
The SECOND inquiry, Whipple said,
should extend both to profits and
losses.
AFTER that" he said. "the commit
tee may feel 1t is in a position where
it may intelligently inquire about
those who profited and 1t seems likely
that those who profited may be those
who obtained advance information"
Mr.. Noble first was asked to
describe for the benefit of the commit
tee the organization Of the stock ex-
change, the personnel of its manage
ment ard its rules and regulations.
Mr.. Noble described "the activities
OF the market on the floor Of the ex-
change on a sample day"
The exchange itself, he said, made
no record Of the daily transactions
as they occurred. this being done by
the exchange ticker. The stock ex-
change clearing house, however, did
receive each day from each brokerage
house a statement of its purchases
and sales, explained the witness.
The exchange has absolute know
ledge OF what occurs on the floor,
which would be accessible to the
committe, Noble said.

FARMERS
CAMP AT
STATEFAIR
Proposed at All Minnesota
Development Association
Meeting by President

An Minnesota Farmers Harvest
Home festival which would be attend
ed by representatives from the 500
farmers clubs in the state Is proposed
by F. w. Murphy, president Of the ALI
Minnesota Development association.
1t is proposed to form a great camp
on the State Fair grounds, north of
the poultry building, and to have the
delegates from the farmers clubs to-
gether with their families, make this
spot their home during the week OF
the fair.
1--WE hear constant reference to the
lack of cheer, Of too much work-a-
dayness, in farm life, and a great
harvest festival which will eventually
bring thousands of community club
representatives from al parts Of the
state into a big camp at the fair
grounds during each annual exposi-
ton will do much to put the spirit
of play into agriculturalists," declared
President Murphy.
If the board of managers Of the fair
decide to follow the suggestion 1t will
be necessary to make some arrange
ments for the comfort and convenience
Of the campers. For sevral years an
attempt at having a camp Of this sort
was made: but the necessary
conveniences were not provided in
time, if at all. The camp can be made
one Of the most successful features of
the fair If the grounds are put in
shape before the commencement of
the fair; and information to that effect
given to prospective visitors.

Whipple asked.

Noble answered. that there Is some

lunfavorable."
Whipple worded his question a lit
tie differently. Nohp again failed to
give a direct answer, saying operators
had the right to sell IL they thought
the situation warranted it. and that
the exchange could do nothing about
it.

or"
Mr.. whipple questioned the witness
as to the difference between specula-
tive investment and investment se-
curities and asked If 1t was not true
that the speculative stock offered the
best opportunity for "manipulative
movement"
The witness said he did not under
stand precisely what was meant by
"manipulative movement" He said
that buying naturally put the price
Of stock up, as selling put it down.
MUIR. Whipple said he would not press
the subject now and advised Mr.. Mo-
BILE to give ''prayerful thought" to an
answer to the question.
The witness furnished the commit
tee with a list Of what he regarded
as speculative stock-United States
Steel, Anaconda, marines, 'the indus
trials stocks which have profited by
the war;" WHY'S Overland, Reading
and Union Pacific.
Mr. Whipple turned to the subject
of short selling, asking Mr.. Noble
IL he ever had known OF preconcerted
movements on the part of operators
to drive down the market by accentu-
take short profits.
II have heard of such things" Mr..
Noble replied, but / never knew Of a
case to my personal knowledge"
I'm all your years on the governing
board you never believed that there
was a depression due to a concerted
movement for short selling?" Mr..
Whipple asked.
Mr.. Noble did not appear to grasp
the Interrogation and Mr.. Whipple
explained further.
II am merely asking YOU" he said,
IF you have been oblivious to what
has taken place"
Again Noble replied that he had no
personal knowledge OF such a trans
action as Whipple described.
Whipple then asked If the governing
