LAWMAKERSH ON
SWINDLERS' TRAIL
Intend to Protect Unsuspect-
ing New York People From
Fake Promoters.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Albany, Feb. 20.
Legisla tors are hot on the trail of fake
promoters. Bland gentlemen with stock
to sell, representing nothing more sub
stantial than Sobs of the blue sky or
patches of the green ocean will be
driven to cover if all the bills recently
introduced in the Legislature become
laws. The lawmakers intend to protect
unsuspecting New York State residents
from the wiles of stock statesmen for
oil companies that produce no oil, orange
groves destitute of oranges and Florida
estates in the midst Of the Everglade
swamps.
Two of the bills were introduced by
Assemblyman Henderson. They provide
a fine not exceeding $500 or imprison-
ment not more than two years for an
officer OF an oil or mining company
making a false statement in an appllca-
ton to a stock exchange to list shares
They require the directors to file with
the state Comptroller statement OF
financial conditions and earnings before
any advertisement can be published.
The contents OF the books of stock
brokers are to be prima facie evidence
of the alters contained. and lack or an
entry is to be prima facie evidence that
no transaction took place.
The licensing of brokers and dealers
by the Secretary of State is required
under bill of Assemblyman Belts
They must file statements of promoting
and underwriting agreements. Assem-
blyman Belts would also broaden the
law. making the publishing of untrue
and misleading advertisements mis-
demeanor
Assemblyman Borkowski OF Buffalo
announced to-day that he is preparing
TO Introduce a bill to prevent fraud In
the sale of stocks bonds and other Sc
curities He said it is time for the State
to act, because OF q recent court de-
cision that cities through ordinances
cannot protect themselves against fake
stock promoters. He would create "a
commission. composed of the Superin-
rtendent of Banks, Attorney-General and
state Treasurer. to pass on all forms of
securities offered for sale.
every day" he said, 81 hear of
people being defrauded out of life long
savings by dealers who offer beautiful
dream pictures for their money. / know
there are several blue sky law proposals
before the Legislature, and it is my hope
that we will be able to agree on one that
will give the people of the entire State
protection. Legitimate dealers should
he Interested, because the cheating o.
the people by the stock faKcrs is caus-
ing a lack OF confidence in all kinds of
legitimate securities"

ELECTRIC SHIP MAKES
5,I22 MILES WITHOUTSTOP
Freighfer Eclipse Reaches
Suez Canal on World Trip.

The first leg Of the world circlinG
voyage OF the electrically propelled
American freighter Eclipse, which sailed
hence on December /. has been COM
pleted at Port Said. according to n let
ter received by the General Electric
Company from an engineer A. Starr Of
the Locomotive Superheater Company,
who went along with the ships engineer
ing force as an observer Mr.. Starr said
the trip of 5.122 miles without a single
stop was the most interesting in his
long experience.
"The chief engineer OF the Eclipse, :"
the letter said. was very we'll satisfied
with the performance or the entire
equipment, and was especially pleased
with the simplicity of it's operation. The
engineers force is not above the aver
age in experience. and therefore when
we consider these facts and circum-
stances. together with the performance
of the vessel. il is safe to say that no
shin owner would make any mistake by
equippng his ship with this type OF ma
chinery. The engineers on watch oper-
ated the apparatus as easily as a motor
man does trolpy car"
The Eclipse was built at the Union
Iron Works. San Francisco. in 1918. and
last, summer she was equipped by the
form of propulsion at the yards OF the
Vulcan Iron Works. Jersey City. and
chartered by the Government to the
American line. She is expected to re-
turn to New York in July

500 VESSELS TIED UP;
10000 SEAMEN IDLE
Results of Shipping Depres-
sion Here Summarized.

At least 10000 seamen are stranded
on shore by the depression in shipping
according TO survey made by DIR.
George Sidney Webster. secretary of the
American Seamens Friend Society OF
rs Wall street. DR.. Webster said the
new American merchant marine is suf-
fering severely.
Nearly five hundred ships are tied
up Or. Webster estimated yesterday.
With the average crew totalling about
forty men, this makes 10000 men un-
employed. OF these a large number are
ashore in New York city alone and many
need help Drawn by the Shipping
Boards campaign for recruits. a large
number of men from inland cities went
to sea. Many other received training
in the navy. Most of these would stay
in the merchant marine We're it not for
the present idleness But they will GER
tainly go back TO their home towns as
soon as they can unless conditions i'm
prove"
