BLUE SKY STOCK
PROSECUTION BEGINS
National Campaign Against
Flood of Worthless Secur-
tiles Launched.
Special Despa,ch TO THE Sun.

WASHINGTON, June s.-Ths Federal
Trade Commission to-day began the FIRST
prosecution in a great national cam
paign to enforce limit to blue sky"
stock and security selling inthe United
States. A formal complaint was filed by
the commission against the Pan Motor
Company. St Cloud, Mimi, and its
president, Samuel d. Pandolfo
Many similar actions are to follow in
the Governments effort to eliminate al
legged Misrepresentation and unfair prac-
tees in the interstate sale of stocks and
securities, and to prevent ruthless sellers
of these securities from garnering the
Liberty bonds that represent the savings
Of millions of people who are unfamiliar
with Investments.
Though the Federal Trade Commission
cannot give advance information of it's
formal action, scores Of other COM
plants have been drawn and soon will
be served. A number of oil companies
are involved.
The complaint filed to-day states that
the commission has reason to believe the
concern has circulated throughout the
country false. misleading and unfair ad-
vertisements, statements and the like
concerning Its assets resources, prog
ress. business. good will and financial
standing. and has suppressed and con-
cealed from the public facts relating to
the plan of organization and the finan-
cial standing and condition of the com
pany. The commission alleges the COM
pany has taken in $4.723.s11.69 for the
sale of stock from it's Incorporation in
January. 1917. to February 2S. 1919.
1t is charged that the company made
, false representations, predictions and
promises relating to the design. produce
ton and manufacture of a certain rotor
tractor, described as the Pan Tank
Tread Tractor" and that 1t sought to
create the impression that its stock was
ratably equal in value to Liberty bonds.
and that statements regarding the value
OF the stock have been exaggerated and
misleading.
The commission alleges that in March.
1919, there were $4,000 recorded sub
scribers OF Pan Motor stock IN the
United States and abroad, OF whom 49,
900 had fully paid their subscriptions.
The complaint also sets forth that up
to September. 1918. s1,1b6.667.b3 had
been paid out as commissions to
statesmen and agents for the sale OF
stock. and that s553,752.3s had been
paid to Samuel c. Pandolfo as commits
sions and for alleged services.
Despite the fact that the Pan Motor
Company represented that 1t plarfhed TO
manufacture" passenger automobiles
on a large scale, merely some 200 cars
had been assembled by the company,
the complaint alleges.
| The concern and Pandolfo were cited
to make answer before the commission

INVENTOR FOILS
 GERMAN MINES
By Assoristed Press

London, December PA device which for more than three years helped to protect British warships from German mines has won for it's inventor, Lieut. Charles D. Burney of the British navy. the order of Companion of St. Michael and St, George, and a grant of $15O.0O0. The invention is said to have saved many warships. IL consists of water plane shaped like a torpedo, having @ pair of large flat fins projecting on either side. It is lowed overside by a wire rope in such a way that it runs from the ships bows outward. The wire rope is intended to pick up the mooring ropes of mines and slide them along until they reach to the nose of the device where a sharp saw is fixed inside a N-shaped slot. The saw cuts through the motoring rope and allows the mine to float free, where it can either be avoided or destroyed
 The invention is known in the service as the "P. V" or "paraVane.'

REAL SENSATION PROMISED PEOPLE

Returns From Inspection of Convict Farms and Tells .Eye-Opening Story of
 Mismanagement
Dy E. D. FRANTZ


 Jackson Miss January n.-(Special.) ) : Governor Bilbo promises the people of Mississippi real sensation. He has just returned from his annual visx of inspec- tion to the convict farms in the delta, and in response to questions put by The Age-H Herald correspondenet, told story of msmanagement that will prove< an eye opener to the people and the public generally.
 The governor spent week on the big farm at Parchman the headquarters and official residence of the superintendent This official was recently changed. E. J O'Keefe, superintendent for four years retiring and being succeeded by J. NJ Williamson.
 It was found, said the governor, in sub stance. that Superintendent O'Keefe had been drawing heavily on his right to buy supplies for his family from the com. missary, at cost spending during his four years more than sl2O0o, and these supplies would have cost nearly double that if he had bought at retail market prices.
 It was also found that one of the ser geants, man who worked 60 negro con. vcts, had drawn about 5000 pounds ot meat from the commissary during the two months of November and December and that he had slaughtered more thar 20 coo pounds of hogs. His record shows and it was borne out by testimony, thai ne had weighed out an average of pu; 50 pounds of meat per day for the feed oi the convicts under his charge. and yet there was no meat on the place. The 6i pounds per day for 61 days would account for but 3S60 pounds of the meat Wha' became of the other 5000 he drew from the comm:ssary, and the 5000 pounds o1
