The Prineess


While Pauline starke has the
starring role n MY Wild Irish
Rose, showing today at the
Princess, and lends to the part
her usual plaintive charm, she
does not seem to have quite as
much importance In the making
Of tho story as do Maude EmeS
and Helen Howard, two young
women who are not SO we'll
known TO the screen, but both OF
whom show marked talent.
The story concerns principally,
the adventures and misadvcntures
Of a young Irish landowner whose
property has been confiscated by
the CROWN and who makes a
strong fight in the. interests OF the
Fenlans. as tue Sim Foiners
were then called.
In adapting the original story
to the screen. an effort was made
TO bring It up TO date, but 1t Is
hardly that now, in tho face G.!
the recent settlement made in
Ireland.
The STAGE production Sas given
successfully years ago, under the
title Of THE ShaUgllun." as writ
ten by Dion Bouclcault, and tho
screen version is OF course chang.
ed in many respects but still holds
all the features that arc DIS t.

the land OF the, shamrock, AMI
others who are interested in ses-
ing a very pretty and cptertain-
ing picture.

"But for the Illinois Securities
Act, people Of the State could not
have been protected against this
scheme
THE wiles of the stock iobber are
many and the Securities Department
of my Office is collecting some very
interesting information on this sub.
ject.
zone OF the new schemes which is
being worked a great deal lately is
the sell'styled Home Building Com
panies, originating in the South or
East. The certificates of the com.
panies are usually so verbose and
complicated that none but an expert
can find out what the agreement
really is, but investigation of some
Of them has shown that the oriaina.
tors OF the company and the associa-
ted brokerage company whica they
also control, usually manage to get
all OF the first three or four payments
made by the subscribers, five to
seven and one.half per cent of all
subsequent payments and from % to
% per cent of the profits, ii there are
any, besides receiving large salaries.
The investor is required to wait three
years for loan, and then is likely to
be disappointed. Through the Attor-
ney General | recently secured in
functions against two of these com
panies in Chicago on the grounds of
deception and fraud.
"a plan resorted to by oil compan-
les lately is to give shares of stock
a par value Of | per cent per share
and afterwards to advance the price
to ;, 10 or % cents, or sometimes as
much as so cents per share. These
prices do not seem excessive to the
public, but a moments consideration
will show that an enormous profit
must have been made to increase
the value 5, 10, rs, or so times. II

from sale of stock in order to get
the investor to increase his holdings.
Companies which resort to these
tactics are invariably barred from
selling stock in this State. The
Securities Department thoroughly in
vestigates every oil company and has
a disinterested oil geologist report
on property controlled by it.
Some oil companies have attempt
ed to eyade the Securities Act by
selling oil leases on an acreage basis.
The leases are sold on the promise

This attempt to eyade the law has
not been a success, as the act covers
oil aud gas leases, units, interests

Another scheme to evade the law
Is by the sale OF oil filling station
certificates for stipulated price per

double the purchase price. A per-
ccntago of the money obtained by

EMMERSON WARNS OF

Springfield, Sept. 13-"Blue Sky"
is too mild an expression to describe
some of the corporations which seek

Louis L. Emmerson today declared in
announcing that the Illinois Securi-

has saved Illinois investors at least
Sl25, 900 900. T" Golden or Sapphire
sky would nearly express it, in view
OF the descriptive literature sent out
to an unsuspecting public" the Sec
rotary said.
Hundreds of companies which
heretofore have operated unmolested
have been barred by the Securities
Department of the Secretary of
States office, and Mr.. Emmerson be-
lieves that at least $100,000OOO of
worthless stock, in addition to that
officially barred, has been kept out of

BUREAU Co. SOL0NS
WAGE WAR ON STATE
HIGHWAY RULING.
REFUSE TO PURCHASE RiGHT.oF.
WAY FOR IVY WAY PLANNED
BY NOTWITHSTANDING OR.
IGlNAL ROUTE BE FOLLOWED.

Princeton, H., Sept. 15,-The Bureau
County Board of Supervisors by UNI
animous vote have declined to furn
ish right Of way for the construction
of the uncompleted section of the
Ivy Way between Spring Valley and
DePue on the route selected by the
state highway department.
This action was taken as protest
against the choice of the middle
route" skipping both Spring Valley
and DePue.
Delegations from the two towns
We're on hand when the question
came up before the county board and
resolutions, adopted at indignation
meetings held Friday and Saturday
nights, were presented, urging the
supervisors to vote no funds for right
of way on any route that did not run
through Depue and Spring Valley.
The Small administration and the
state highway department were bit
terly assailed by spokesman for the
protesting delegations.
The refusal to furnish right of way
needed In laying out the new route
will delay the completion of the Ivy
Way at least another year and in
some quarters II is feared the breach
with the state highway department
created by this action may indefinitely
suspend the building of state aid roads
in Bureau County. Up to the present
time Bureau County has secured the
construction OF more than its proper
tionate share of the bond issue roads
Of the state. Some counties in the
state have not yet received any hard
roads and may have to wait for an.
other bond issue before their roads
can be built.
Statement of Chief Engineer.
y Clifford Older, chief highway engi-
neer for the state. told the county
board that the decision of the state
highway commission was final and
that further argument over the loca.
tion of the Ivy Way route would be
useless He said that if the board
saw fit to vote the necessary right of
way contract would be awarded and
the heavy grading done this fall, not
only on the Ivy Way gap between
Spring Valley and DePue, but also
on route 7 from Princeton to DePue,
and that the paving would be finished
early next summer With that section
completed. Bureau county would have
its entire quota of the bond issue
roads with the exception of the Can
non Ball Trail from Princeton in the
direction of Mendoza.
Supervisor Joe Cassasa. of Spring
Valley, and G. Fl. Bryant, of DePue, |
led a bitter attack upon the state ad- |
ministration and the policy of the |
state highway department. Mr. Cas-
sasa fatty declared that unless the |
hard route goes through DePue and
Spring Valley it might as we'll never
be built at all, and he also said that |
If the road is being built for tourists
without regard for the local traffic,
then the state ought to look to the
tourists for the money to pay for the (
right of way Strong feeling was mani
fest among the supervisors and bust
ness men from the east end of the |
county over the decision of the state
highway department, which it was
repeatedly asserted, "pleases nobody"
