JOKER MAKES
BLUE SKY LAW
ONLY A FARCE
Issuer Is Liable to Provisions,
but No Restrictions Bind
Man Who Sells.
GIVES NO PROTECTION

Indiana citizens who have had an op-
portunity to investigate are today de-
claring the James 2. Goodrich legisla-
ture played squarely into the hands of
the fy-by might stock jobbers when it
passed the much-touted "blue-sky law
at the last special session of the legts-
lature.
Lawyers are advising their clients that
the bill, as finally passed. is vicious, in
as much as it may be used by promoters
of fake schemes as an argument to vic
tins that they are projected by the In
diana law when IN reality the law is
little, If any. protection
The principal joker in the bill as
amended and passed is that it subjects
only the 'issuer' Of securities to its reg
ulations.
The company or individual that sells
the securities Is not bound by its terms
and as the 'lssuer'' is not infrequentIy a
resident OF another state the Indiana
authorities have no Jurisdiction over him
and can not hold him responsible.
1t has been pointed out that an uli-
nois corporation wishing to float Sc
curtties in Indiana may make a secret
contract with a salesman IN Indiana TO
"underwrite" an issue Of securities at any
price desired.
The Indiana salesman then buys" the
securities at the price he desires ami
sells them at any price he can obtain.
1t is his stock and he has the right TO
dispose of It In any way he wishes.
The issuer" about whom regulations
are thrown by the Indiana act, does not
enter the state, does not make a deal in
the state, and consequently is not liable.
The stock may be good OF bad.
No Indiana authority has any right to
enter into an investigation Of the orig
inal sale. because 1t did not take place in
Indiana.
The original blue sky bill, as submit
ted to the legislature, required the fling
OF copies OF all contracts or agreements
between the issuer and any underwater
OF such securities and all contracts per
tanning to the sale Of the securities. to-
gether with the minutes Of the directors
and stockholders pertaining therto.
This provision was stricken out by
the Legislators.
AZ a final movement to protect the
shady hoaters Of securities in Indiana,
q provision OF the law by which all sales
OF securities not IN accordance with the
law would be "voidable" was stricken
out Of the amended bin as passed.
Following the legislative session, Gov.
Goodrich issued a statement in which he
praised the legislature for passing this
bin and declared that as administered
by Ed. Jackson, secretary of state It
would be great boon for the public IN
the protection OF investors against fraud.
Commercial organizations having as
their purpose the protection OF clients
are now advising their clients the law
Is farce.

Through concerted purchasing and
marketing power, the farmers of Indiana
expect TO assert themselves economically,
according to discussions today at the
second day meeting Of the officers and

ton were discussed by the directors.
The association expects to select a
representative 10 attend the hearing be-
fore the interstate commerce commission

This action follows the receipt of a
letter from J. r. Howard, president OF
the American Farm Bureau of Fedora
tion, notifying the association Of the

WOMEN ASK FOR
KICK IN MAYORS
MULE PROMISE
South Side Housewives Wish
Market Made Out of
City Barns.

When Mayor ChaEles w. Jewett went
up and down the south side in 1917 max
ing brilliant promises that no longer
would the city mule graft" exist and no
longer would the south side be pestered
with the odors emanating from the city
street cleaning barns in Shelby street,
he raised high hopes in the breasts OF
the housewives.
If Mayor Jewett had been at the barns
yesterday afternoon and heard the ex-
pressions OF a number Of members Of
the South Side Women's club, who gath
cred there TO confer with the special
committee Of the city council appointed
to consider their demands for the estab-
lishment OF a market he would know,
first hand, how deeply disappointed the
south side is. not only over the fact that
the mules We're not removed as prom
fsed but also that they are being hired
at a rate much higher thar that which
Poor old BilI' Kissell got, aud which
the mayor termed as plain graft"
He would have discovered also that
women OF the south side are not going
10 tolerate much longer without open
outbreaks OF temper the dawdling oil
city employees about the barns when
they might be making the premises
4 little less odlous and odorous to the
neighborhod
And If the mayor could have spared
.ust g part OF the afternoon from his
duties as messenger boy for the Iudi-
annapolis News he might have heard one
uf the leading women In the delegation
al the barns say, In tones such as only
4 woman IN deadly earnest can employ !:
well YoufH either d something for
the south side or you'd better not-youd
better not dare TO send anybody down
here 10 make speeches to US during the
next campaign"
The request Of the South side Women's
clHb presented to the city council three
weeks ago, was that the city move the
mules clear out OF tho Shelby street
neighborhood and move enough Of the
street cleaning equipment out Of one sec
tion OF the barns to make room Tor a
number OF market stalls.

EIGHT KILLED
IN RIOTING IN
ILLINOIS TOWN
Partial Order Restored at
West Frankfort by Arrival
of State Troops.
MURDERS INCITE MOB

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. GA re-
quest for 500 additional milItIamen
to handle the West Frankfort mob
disorders was received here today by
the adjutant generals office from
Maj. SatterfieId at Frankfort.
While no additional information
concerning the disorders has reached
here owing to all wires into Frank
fort being severed, 1t was feared at
the adIutant generals office that the
situation in the little Illinois town
has gotten beyond the control of the
militlamen already on the ground.
MT. VERNON, ILL.,, Aug. eight per-
sons were killed and the little ItaliaD
settlement of New Mexico, adjacent to
West Frankfort, III, was wiped out By
flames, in the reign of terror which held
the West Frankfort section in its grip
last night, according to information
reaching here today.
RIOTING CONTINUED
THROUGHOUT NIGHT.
Rioting between enraged citizens ana
Italian residents began late last night
and continued sporadically throughout
the night
1t came as the outgrowth Of public
indignation over the murder of two
boys, Tony Hempel, IS, and Arn4eI Cal
caterera, 10, whose bodies were discSw
cred here yesterday.
They had been brutally killed aaG
their bodies mutilated.
West Frankfort was at the mercy Of
mob of several thousand persons
throughout the night.
Italians were beaten wherever they
could be found, and the torch was ap-
piled freely to their homes.
The reign Of lawlessness began with
the arrest Of a Sicilian, Settino DeSesnis.
charged with the murder of the two
boys
When word was spread around tha.
the murderer had been captured a mob
gathered in front Of the Jail.
Several deputies. however, had sntici-
pGted such action and they spirited their
prisoner away.
The mob. not finding the italian, die
persed, but in an ugly mood
Famed by the fame of general indie-
nation, It formed again many times
stronger than originally, and then be
gan a reign Of disorder and riot that
rapidly outgrew local authorities.
The boys are believed to have beer
murdered because they had the identity
OF bank robbers who took more thar
100000 In series of thefts in this Fe
gion.
