Pays SIS for Each Sucker
on Bucket Shop Hook

A y outsider happened to get a
n glimpse inside the boiler
shop"-tLat is, the telephone
room-of a big bucket shop several
days ago. This is what he saw:
a dozen or a score of statesmen.
each with a sucker list" were
calling prospects" as fast as they
could get the numbers, telling
glibly of the wonderful profits to
be made by trading with that
house. In front of tie row of tele-
phones the head of the boiler
shop walked up and down, using
the tactics of a "ballyhoo' for a
sideshow. In one hand he held a
fistful of five dollar bills. In the
otEer he suspended a single bill
which he dangled in front of the
eyes of the men at the phones,
prodding them on by every known
trick of eXhortation. This was the
burden of his appeal;
who gets TIE next five?'
Come son; take this one away
from mel"
Who's got home for an orphan
five spot?"
And as fast as each salesman
succeeded in landing a new ac-
count, he was rewarded with five
dollar bonus.

N. Y. GOING DRY, SAYS DAY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Use of naval
or Shipping Board vessels to catch rum
runners along the coast in the vicinity
of New York was indicated by Federal
Prohibition Director Day of New York
to have been discussed to-day at a
conference with Commissioner Haynes.
Prohibition conditions in New York
are steadily improving. Mr.. Day said,
adding that Withdrawals of liquor from
bonded warehouses in the State during
January totalled only 900 gallons,
which was so per cent. less than in
December. as compared with about
250,O00 gallons last July. and an average
of about 10000 gallons a day year
ago

Remember that interest charges are
one of the main sources of income in
any honest brokerage business, and
no legitimate broker is going to lose
money by going below the current
rate. 1t is part Of the backbone of
his business.
So when some kind broker comes
along and offers YOU a cut in interest
rates as a special inducement it is
time also to have care.
IT is not unlikely that when such
offers are made the bucketeer will
come forward with all sorts of plausi-
BILE stories of why he is able and
wishes 10 extend TO YOU this. special
consideration. You may be persuaded
to believe him, and cannot explain TO
his offer But whatever you do you
may rest assured that you are taking
chance against the fundamentals OF
the brokerage business.
Now. let US suppose that you have
already invested your money and for
some reason your suspicious have been
aroused concerning your broker. What
can be done TO find where you stand?
Bucket shop Can show stock.
To demand that your broker actu-
ally show you the stock which you
ordered him to buy is next TO no as
surance at all. As has been explained
in these columns previously. The buck
eteer is expecting that demand at any
time and is ready for It. He may
keep sufficient stocks on hard to show
his customers when they make such
demands, using the same stock fov all
customers. or he may hastily buy the
shares ana sell them again inlmedi
ately after you have inspected them.
The surer course TO pursue is 10 or
der the transfer OF your account TO a
concern in which you have greater
faith. If your broker is legitimate and
on the level he can have not the
slightest possible excuse for falling to
transfer your account at once. That
should require only matter of hours,
or a day or so at the outside, depend
ing on circumstances.
The only reason why he could fail
to execute your request for a transfer
of your account would be the fact that
he did not have the actual shares of
stock to deliver to your new broker.
If that happens. or if your broker
shows any disposition to quibble or de-
lay about the transfer, it is time to
demand the immediate delivery Of your
stock, and falling in that TO hunt up
the District Attorney. You will be
lucky if you get out then.

IL your broker complies readily with
your request and makes the transfer
promptly it is reasonable TO believe
that he is conducting a legitimate
business. and unless you have other
reasons for thinking him dishonest you
might fairly assume that you are safe.
An expression of Willingness to make
the transfer. though, could hardly be
taken as full proof of good faith. The
actual transfer is the test
DO Your own TransferrinG.
On the other hand, when your broker
notifies you that he has transferred
your account TO another broker with
out your having requested the trans
fer it is n very good time 20 become
alarmed and do a little quick and ef-
fective investigation. The transfer of
account is one of the commonest tricks
of a bucket shop about to go into
bankruptcy or go out Of business for
other reasons-usually connected with
the uncomfortable end of the laws of
the land
If you are in the hands of a bucket
eer and he transfers your account 1t
can be taken almost on its face as a
fact that he has transferred your ac-
count to another bucket shop which
he and his associates have organized
under a new name TO accommodate all
the worth while accounts before the
arrival of the officers of the law.
Ordinarily when that occurs the new
firm will win your faith by beginning
to congratulate you on having got out
Of = "a nIr oh Of hA 1l1 n M
to malign the old firm scandalously.
I'VE have just found out what a bunch
of crooks that outfit is; you're lucky
to get out with anything" You may
feel rather badly about hearing your
old broker abused in such fashion, but
pretty soon, sure enough, along comes
bankruptcy and you fall on the necks
of your new friends and thank them
with tears in your eyes.
Rest assured they knew all along
what the situation was, and you were
saved from the wreck only because the
process of cleaning you had not yet
been completed.
These suggestions are given for
what they may be worth, but no guar
anty for complete effectiveness at
taches. The writer of this article has
asked prosecuting officers. bankruptcy
lawyers, brokers. investors, victims
and about every source that could be
interested the question which has been
asked so repeatedly by readers of THE
NEW YORK HERALD's bucket shop series.
He has yet to find the man who knows
an absolutely sure way OF spotting
bucket shop.
