HAILED WITH DELIGHT
(By Associated Press)

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 27.-De-
spatches from New York, telling of the
successful negotiation of an Argentine
loan there were hailed with great re-
lief by the financial and commercial
community here today. Business men
have been suffering from the demon
alizing fluctuations of the exchange

lions for the loan and there were many
conflicting reports as to the progress
being made in New York.

National Bank, about 100000 is in.
tended to be applied 10 the state rail
ways. The purchase of locomotives in

ing.
Sharp fluctuations of the American
dollar featured yesterdays session oil
the stock exchange here, the dollar
dropping as low as $50 and closing al

reports in late evening papers that the
deal had been closed between the
Argentine government and New Yorl

1t was said in the evening papers
that the loan would carry interest a

ION Oct l, 1912, on what was then
an open tract in this city square,
Henry Clay, the leader of the Wing
party, delivered an address to an i'm
mense multitude and Hiram Menden-
hall, a Quaker Abolitionist, presented
to him on behalf of the Indiana Anti
Slavery Society, a numerously signed
petition asking him to free his slaves.
Clay, in an eloquent reply, criticized
this act as a breach of hospitality,
described the difficulties and perils
of immediate emancipation and adj
vised Mendenhall to begin his work
of benevolence at home.
"Clay's rejoiner was then over
whelmingly applauded, yet the Incl
dent was afterwards an important
factor in the growth of the Liberty
party; in the defeat of Clay for the
presidency in 1874; and in the spread
Of an anti-slavery sentiment, which
contributed to the dissolution of the
Wing party, the organization of the
Republican party and finally to the
| Civil war, and ultimate emancipation "

ORDER Blue SKY LAW
INVESTIGATION, MANY
COMPL ANTS AT HAND

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. q. -
The Indiana securities commission has
instructed Maurice Mendenhall, ad-
ministrator of the securities depart
ment, to begin a sweeping investiga-
ton" of alleged violations of the blue
sky law by four corporations operat-
ing in the state. Decision to order the
investigation was reached after The
commission had received complaints
from many sections of the state.
Preliminary arrangements for the
Investigations were made today by Mr.
Mendenhall, who said that every
phase of the activities of the com
panies will receive the scrutiny of the
commission at a series of hearings,
which probably will begin next week
in the statehouse Names of the COM
panies involved are being withheld
until records of the organizations
have been obtained and necessary wit
nesses subpoenaed to appear at the
hearings.
If any of the alleged irregularities
are substantiated charges against the
organizations will be lodged with
grand juries in the counties in which
the offices of the companies are stu
ated. Sensational discourses concern
ing business methods of some COM
panies doing business in Indiana may
develop at the hearings, it is said.
Investigations involve other com
panies in the alleged violations of the
securities law, Mr.. Mendenhall said
He said he had been given full author
ity to proceed in the matter and
would not stop with an investigation
of the four companies against which
complaints have been filed if evidence
indicates other violations.
The commission is determined that
sale of watered and worthless stock
and other illegal transactions of Sc
| curities companies in Indiana shall
| cease. Under the penalty clause oil
| the blue sky law fines ranging from
800 to $4,000 and Imprisonment may
! be imposed on persons found guilty.
