Chicago, Jan. 14-Chicage's real
estate owners needn't have any fear
of their being slump in the real
estate market when the prohibition
amendment goes into effect On Jan

dent of the Cook County (Chicago) }
real estate board. t'Other cities have
gone dry long before this" he says
4tand real estate values are higher
than even.
"A dry United States has been an
ticipated for five years and SALOON
properties gradually have been taken
over by other interests. The demand
for stores is too great to have many
former saloons standing idle long
There is a big demand for chain
stores both national and local for
space for new branches, and in many
cases bonuses are being paid for good
I saloon corners. In fact, many prop
erty owners are holding out for
bonus. There is no danger OF AM

GREAT REVIVAL
OF THE WAR
STOCK PROMOTERS AND
>SWINDI.ERS FLOURIS

New York, Jan. 14.-Stock pro-
moters and swindiers whe have
been driven from 3S 7tates where
.'biue sky laws exist, are flourish
ing in New York as never before,
according to Edwin P Kilroe, AS
sistant District Attorney IN charge
of the investigation of commercial
frauds.
Mr.. Kilroe charges that most of
the operators are composed of "con-
fidence men, ex-conviets, race track
touts, gamblers and men Of the
baser Sort who, as soon as their
crooked work is made public, move
to another part of the metropolis
and resume business under another
name.
cit is remarkable" says he, "that
in this state, which is the financial
centre of the world, the investing
public should be left without pro-
lection 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," Mr.. Kilroe in a report
| to District Attorney Swami, opposes
the recommendation to turn the
prosecution Of crook Wall street
concerns over to four deputies and
the Attorney General of the State.
/ t'The recommendation" he says
chat nothing be done by the pres
hment of a commission to redraft the
penal law is sfnexpedient and woulC
accomplish no good result. All O
the facts a commission so appointed
Icould possibly obtain are now in tn,
