MANY RAIDS BLAMED ON
 SHIN FEN

London, June 17.---Many raids in which telegraph and telephone wires were cut and railroad propert was destroyed were made here today Scotland Yard attributed them to Sim Feiners.
 Seven men, all alleged to be Irish Republican symp&thizers, were ar- rest ed.
 The police threw out a vast dragnet forty miles past London in an effort to round up the depredators.
 Following the destruction of rail- way signal boxes at ErOmely a fight developed in which one alleged Sim Feiner was wounded.
 Railway traffic in the London dis trict already crippled by the coal strike. was brought to a virtual stand still by the burning of signal boxes
 A signal man at CIapton attempted to resist the raideSr and was shot
 Signal boxes on the railways at Hanweu and Barking were destroyed Similar Iaids were made at Acton, Jn- bridge, Bromley. Southan and Barnes
 The police at Bromley fought re voIver duel with the raiders and it is believed that several Of the Sim F'ein- CTS were wounded. Traces of blood were found.
 During the afternon the number of arrested persons was increased to nine. Six of them were charged with shoot ing at policemen.

The organ ization was reformed at the instiga- ton of the committee on banks of the recent General Asse nllbly in whose belief an associa tion composed of firms of established reputation could do more to prevent malprac- tice than any state statute.
 The specific aims of the association as set forth in the constitution is to .sDromate by every suitable and just means the practice of high standards of business conduct as between mem ber and member and client in the conduct of inyeStment business, and to take such measures as it may, either on it's own initiative acting in conjunction with others, to prevent dishonorasble conduct in the offering

H0BERmAN IN
 BAD PLIGHT

Jacob Hoberman presented a pitt fuI appearance when brought befora Judge keeler this morning on con tempt of court order, for failure to his first wife and first family. He is now living with wife No. ?, by whom he as two children. Hober- man is i. an extremely unpleasant predicam lent, and realizes it to the fullest extent. He is a badly fright to distraction. The sight of a rough appearing, laboring man, to out ward appearances physically sound, crying like a baby on the witness stand, and in broken English inn pIoring the judge to believe him, and only making s1O a week, and can't get more work, and that bills are piling up all around him, is not eS- actly one to dispel the gloom and pessinism that is already in the air.
 The man pedd1es ice when anyone in his district in Stamford can af- ford to buy it, but just recently his horse died, and his wagon broke down and now a rupture threatens to keep him from work, and he hasn't nickIe for an operation.
 Judge Keeler reserved decision, but pointed out that wife No. l and family No 1 must come in for first consideration, and that if there is then anything left family and wife No. 2. including husband. may come in for consideration In the event around it is pointed out that wife No. .. marrying a grass-widOwer with alirony to pay, takes the leap at her own risk and must be prepared to get out and work if necessary, to help in the support of her flock.
