Further Investigation of the sur
roundngs of the murder gives the
local authorities even less than they
at first thought they had to work upon:
A greasy coat, believed to be that OF
the murderer, turned out to have be-
longed to Brown, who used it for cover
ing his radiator in cold weather. A
wrench was not used to kill Brown, as
was at first reported. 1t is known to
have been part Of Browns tool equip

1t is thought certain that the shoot
ing was done by some one riding in the
car behind Brown. 1t is argued from
the fact that four shots were fired at
close range, one of which probably
would have been sufficient, and that a
quick firing automatic was used. From
the direction of the bullets, it is felt
certain that Browns attention was at
tracted by some movement OF his com
panon that he clamped on the encr-
gcncy brake and had just half turned
his head to the right when the shots
were fired.

ed to do so by any statute which we
might recommend or the Legislature
might enact On the contrary, during
the interim periods of Legislative ac
tion he could be counted on to abandon
certain lines which might be marked as
legally dangerous and adopt new lines
that would be safe until future Lcgls-
lature should discover and pick up the
trail of dishonesty.
Common sense dictates that the
state shall not place its dependence on
legal traps composed of words, which,
no matter how we'll chosen, are notori-
ously easy of evasion"
In discussing the ma jor proposals of
the minority report the Pulleyn group
explains
"New York State, as the financial
center of the world, cannot afford to
adopt experimental legislation of the
character adopted in our Western
states.
A Broad Question
The question is not the narrow
question Of whether the state should
restrict single business Familiarity

protection to those who arc engaged
in purchasing securities. The ques-
JlON is WuCH DIOducI IHdH tHdt. ~
involves the question of how far the
courage enterprise during this grave
period Of reconstruction.

Of the war have added heavy burdens
which have seriously discouraged the
employment Of capital to development;
and we, therefore, must meet the Ques-
ton: How far is New York State will

legislation?
ut is impossible by legislation to
abolish ignorance or eliminate Gu
pidity. No matter what statutory
bars may be erected, men will con-
tnue to lose their money not only
/ by unwise investments but by eXtrava-
CANT speculation The ingenuity of
the crook can rever be wholly circum-
vented by statute"
Regarding the publicity proposals it
says "The honest and careful dealer
| is placed in shackles, whereas the crook
and the careless man are virtually un-
| hampered.
Twofold Difficulty
"Thc difficulty is twofold: First,
that legislation of this character is
more effective against the legitimate
dealer than it is against the crook;
and, second that every attempt to as
sist legitimate business by striking
out restrictions tends to make the law
more ineffective against the crook; and
conversely, that every added restric-
ton against the crook applies with
double and treble force against the
legitimate dealer"
In commenting on 'lcensing," which
the minority report advocated, the
majority report SAYS:
The objection to a law Of this char
actcr is that every citizen should be
free to enter into any legitimate busi-
ness that he secs fit, and that to re
qNirc a licensing system and TO confer
power upon some state official to grant
or Withhold a license is an abrogation
Of Individual rights and liberties, is
un- American in principle and has been
frequentlH denounced by the court"
