 "The lure of speculation has, of course, produced corresponding volume of attendant crime, corrup- tion and dishonesty.

FAKE PROMOTERS PICK GOIHAM|TES
 IN EASY MANNER

NEW YORK. - Stock promoters and swindlers who have been driven from 3S states where "blue sky laws exist, are fourishing in New York as never before, according to Edwin P. Kilroe, assistant district attorney in charge of the investiga- tion of commercial frauds.
 MT. Kilroe charges that most of the operators are composed of "con- idence men, ex-convicts, racetrack touts, gamblers and men of the haser sort" who, as soon as their crooked work is made public, move to another part of the metropolis and resume business under another name.
 Ut is remarkable" says he, "that in this state, which is the financial center of the world, the investing public should be left without pro- tection and that the Dark Age law of caveat emptor should reign here" "
 Attacking the majority report of Governor Smiths Blue Sky Law commission as "a prayer to allow the predatory Wall Street interests to continue their pillage without let or hindrance," MT. Kilroe, in a re- port to District Attorney Swann, opposes the recommendation to turn the prosecution of crooked Wall Street concerns over to four depu- Ities and the attorney-general of the state.
 "The recommendation" he says .'that nothing be done by the pres. ent legislature except the appoint ment of a commission to redraf' the penal law is inexpedient anC would accomplish no good result All of the facts a commission so !appointed could possibly obtain arc now in the possession of the dis trict attorney of New York, as thu result of some 4,OOO or 5000 com plaints investigated in his office."
 The methods employed by stoc! lswindlers to fleece the unwary art explained by MT. Kilroe. ''In thu old days" he said, sucker lists were prepared and used by thes' unscrupulous promoters. On thes; lists were the names of those knowl to be susceptible to the illusionar. offers made by salesmen of worth Hess securities. This list has nov been cast aside, and today ever, good citizens who happens to b. inexperienced in the world of fin ance is possible victim, oprovide' he has small bank account o government bonds.
 Schools are established to mak the smooth-tongued salesman nor smooth and books of instruction are prepared so that no one evel with small savings shall escape thei lure This office is flooded wit complaints of the shorn and plucke who daily stream from Wall Stree to the Criminal Courts building.

Prospectors l Farmers Trappers Tourists The Nenana district offers oppor- 1 tunities for prospecting, farming, and ! trapping that are unequaled in any other section of Alaska. Gold placers of known value, clese to Nenana, are producing annually sub- stantial amounts, and there are scores of streams within the district on which little or no prospecting has been done. These streams, until short time ago | almost inaccessible, are now easily | l reached by means of the new Govern ,l ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon Il, will be the scene of much mining tvity.
 III Farming in the Nenana district has
 the advantage of growing season fully
 ten days longer than that of any other
 section of Interior Alaska. There is
 much desirable land in the district open
 to homesteaders, and marketing possi-
 bilities are being expanded steadily.
 Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana
 and adjacent districts are noted for the
 fine quality of their fur, and trappers
 annually bring large numbers of belts to Nenana and receive for them higher
 prices than are obtained for the average
 furs of other districts. Game of all kinds abounds in the Nenana district, there are scores of trout streams easy of access and the II scenic wonders of the district are un-
 surpassed. The district is the natural gateway to Mt. Mckinley National NJ Park, and close to Nenana may be viewed the largest coal edges in the world.

w. M. WOLFE FOUND
DEAD IN HIS BED
EMPLOYE AT GRIER DIED THIS
MORNING AT McDERMOTT
BOOMING HOUSE.

W. NJ. Wolfe, a middle aged man,
who has been working as porter at
the Grier Hotel here, was found this
morning lying across his bed in the
McDermott Roomfhg House in South
Liberal, dead.
The man had registered there last
night and when an employe of the
rooming house went to the room this
morning to clean as usual, he found,
upon opening the door, that a man
laid across the bed fully dressed and
apparently asleep as he seemed to be
breathing. He was left undisturbed.
Later, at about ten-thirty o'clock, he
went again, thinking that by that
time the man would have awakened
and left, found him in the same po-
sition. He entered and discovered
that the man was dead.
Sheriff Nelson and Undertaken Mil
Ter were called and an inquest held
and it was thought the man died from
the effects of rheumatism as he suf-
fered from the disease.
1t is stated the man had been con-
templating a visit with relatives at
Mcpherson, expecting to leave in q
few days. He has a sister, trained
nurse, in Kansas City, and Sheriff
Nelson is attempting to notify the
relatives about him. Arrangements
for burial viii be made upon wore
from them.

WATCH OUT FOR THE HOPPER

Grasshoppers are Matching in
southern Kansas and will soon be
Matching all over the western part of
Kansas. Watch for them and if they
threaten to be numerous enough to
cause damage, mix up some of the
old reliable bran mash and feed it to
them: 20 pounds of bran, l pound of
white arsenic or Paris green thor
oughly mixed together dry. 31a gal
Ions of water, 2 quarts of sryup and
the juice and rind of three oranges or
lemons ground up fine, all mixed to-
gether until all the syrup or molasses
is dissolved. After both mixtures are
made moisten the poisoned bran with
the water mixture and stir until all
the bran is moist
The above mixture should be scat
tered thinly as person would
broadcast grain, early in the morning
before the hoppers get started to
feeding. Start while the hoppers are
young and there will not be any old
ones to eat the heads off the wheat.
