ADVICE TO INVESTORS.
BY AUDITOR DAIRST
Only Authorized Statesmen
May Legally Sell Stock
in This State.

CHARLESTON Jan. 2o.-state
Auditor u s. Darst, who administers
Vest virginia;s Blue shy Law, has
received information of considerable
activity in the state by unauthorized
stock statesmen. and makes the follow
ing suggestions 10 those who are re-
quested to buy stocks or other securi.
ties in this state.
When approached by stock sales.
man require him to produce a letter
81 authority signed by the State Audi
tor to sell the stock he offers. and IL
ne has no such authority, wire the
Auditor Immediately, giving the name
OF the agent and company whose
. stock he Is attempting to sell. II he
has a letter of authority, remember
that such Is not even a recommends
tion that the company viii be sue
ceseful, but only statement that the
technical requirements of the law
have been satisfied.
The law aims to compel every. pro
moter to lay all his cards on the
table. II the stock has been issued
for Intangible assets, or for property
the value OF which is not readily as.
certainable. that fact must be clearly
SGT forth in The subscription blanks,
IN order that. every signer may have
notice Of the true condition of the
Company. Certain statements are re-
CURED and In general all papers hav-
ing any thing TO do with the condi-
ton, standing or purpose OF the COM
papy must be presented before the
stock can be sold
y Another important feature is that
the Auditor may require all stock is
sued for property or Intangible as
sets to be placed In escrow and there
held under such ms as he may pre-
scribe. This pr, ents the promoter
from placing stcek on sale that has
been given for certain supposed yalu.

Our law specifically limits the
amount any stock salesman shall re-
ceiye for selling stock to 10 per cent,

par value. which IS big protection.
Before we had this law II was a com
mon thing for the suck salesman to
receive from rs to 50 per cent. for
the sale Of stock.
The law makes Il a conspiracy to
defraud in connection with the sale
OF stocks. or other securities, a penf-
tertiary offense.. It also provides
that any person making false state
ment, either oral or written, or con-
,ceals any figures concerning securi-
ties. which he is Offering for sale,
shall be guilty Of felony.
at Is: our custom to place in the
subscrip blanks as many of these
facts as possible in order that the
prospective buyer may know the true
situation. Then II is up to each in
diytdual to judge fer himself, whether
or not he wants to invest. Neither
the Auditor nor any other living man
can tell what the outcome will be I.
Of course, II 1t appears on the face
of the papers that the promotion is
insolvent or fraudulent permission to
sell stock is absolutely refused as
happens in many cases.
If>you desire further knoyiedge
than the subscription blank shows.
write the Auditor. and he will gladly
give you such information as he has !.
This is about all any law can do
It is then up to you. II 1t is an oil
Company only the drill can deter
mine whether oil will be found. II Il
is manufacturing company, the
personnel OF the management, every
thing else being equal will deter
mine the success or failure of it.
For these and many other reasons
you should proceed with great eau
ton before purchasing any stocks.
Ii you are an employee consult your
employer, or business friend. in
whom you have confidence Make your
time, legitimate business will wait.
investigate to your full satisfaction,
and remember man of means can
afford to take chance that man
Of small means should not think of,
because in one case the man may
only lose small portion of what he
has, and the other can lose all.
Finally, uge this office in every way
possible. Each company authorized
to sell stock in this state has certain
statements under oath on file here,
and we are glad to furnish informa-
ton.

Delaware Resident May Not
Be Able to Hold Liquid
Stocks
QUESTION UP IN
FISHER CASE

Unlike the rest OF the country. there
is a possibility that Wilmington MAY
not be able to retain its private liquor
stocks under the eighteenth amendment
and owners Of well-flled cellars are
facing the danger Of having all their
precious hoard seized under the Loose
law Of the State. The decision is now
in the hands Of the cuperior Court.
The test case is being made in the
case Of the State against William and
Elmer Fisher charged with having In
their possession more than one quart
Of liquor in violation Of the Loose act.
After a preliminary hearing before Mag
istrate Gluckman on Saturday, at which
the Witnesses were examined by Dep
uty Attorney General Green, the case
was continued for the higher Court
IL was brought out at the hearing
that II the contention Of the State is
upheld all stocks Of liquor now on hand
Will be contraband, as the possession
OF more than one quart is prohibited.
The liduor will be subject 10 cOnflsca-
tion and its owner held liable under
the law. The case will hinge on the
point Of whether the Loose law Will
run concurrently with the national
or will be superseded by It.
