State Prosecutor Helps.

While the chief operations against
the bucketeers are being conducted
from the District Attorneys office,
there is activity on the part of State
authorities and also by Federal agents.
Frederick r. Rich. Assistant Attorney
General, is in constant communication
with Mr.. Simmons and two Of the
cases Mr. Simmons is handling were
called to his notice by Mr.. Rich.
The only activity Of the Federal
authorities must be based on the vio-
lation of the Federal statute against
the use of the mails for fraudulent
purposes. This statute is broad, how
ever, and it will probably be utilized
in cases where other means cannot DE
found to bring the guilty to justice.
Mr.. Simmons is in communication with
the Post Office inspectors, as many of
the cases in hand could be handled as
Federal cases should occasion require
because of the misuse of the mails
The letter files. circulars and adver-
tisements used by the bucket shops
show clearly that a number of the
concerns under investigation did not
hesitate for q moment to use the postal
service in persuading customers to
part with their money.

ANTI-BUCkETING BILL
ENTERED IN ASSEMBL Y
CuUillier to Demand Incorpo-
ration of Stock Exchange.

Special Dispatch to The NEW YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany. Feb. 13.
Maintaining a bucket shop in This
State is made a felony by terms of a
bill introduced tonight by Assemblyman
Louis A. Cuvillier. Democrat, of New
York. Inasmuch as Cuvillier is a men,
Der of the minority his measure prob
ably will not get far, but it is likely tha.
the bucket shop evil may be dealt with
by the Legislature.
bucket shop is defined in this
measure as any place where contracts
ara made for the purchase or sale of
stock, grains. provisions or other COM
modities or personal property. and where
there is an agreement made that n
transaction shall be closed on the basis
of quotations on some. exchange at a
certain time or where there ischo bona
fide purchase or sale of securities.
Maintaining a bucket shop is made a
felony punishable by a fine of not less
than $500 or more than $1,000 or by
confinement In States prison of not more
than one year. Corporations guilty of
violations are made liable to forfeiture
of all corporate rights and privileges.
Dealing in margins and futures ara
prohibited by the Cuvilier bill. which
requires brokers to furnish to their Gus
toners on demand detailed information
as to where, when and to whom securi-
ties covered contracts or orders are
covered or sold.
Cuvillier announced that he would in
troduce tomorrow bill requiring the
New York Stock Exchange to incor-
porate. Similar measures have been in
troduced repeatedly, but seldom ever got
out of committee.

Hostility to American Plan.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 13.--Opposition
to the American valuation plan in tariff
legislation has been Conceived and

ers." Representative Joseph W. Fordney.
chairman of the House Ways and Means
Committee. declared tonight in an adj

of the Germantown Republican Club.
These competitors" Mr. Fordncy
added. "are the importers whose flnan-
cial interest is I'm the selling OF the
product of foreign labor in the Ameri-
can market in competition with Ameri-

said to write tariff bill that will
afford adequate protection to American

ever possible. He defined specific rates

In Right Frame of Mind.

The newcomer, therefore, slaves at
whatever his hands find to do and
saves every penny he can. Every
where he looks he is dazzled by signs
of opulence and wealth. He can hardly
cross street without being run over
by some millionaire's automobile.
There must be a quicker way of maxi
ing money in America than the for
eigncr has yet found. Then along
comes the savings stealing bucket
shopper and shows him how it is done!
The ignorant and the foreign born
are not to be captured by means of
letters. 1t is a matter of personal con-
tact with savers and getting them to
bring in their friends, usually. That
brings us to the case previously men,

will probably cooperate with Mr. Sim

which would return large profits. The
customer was offered an opportunity Of
getting in on the ground floor" If he
did not have ready cash, as he seldom
had. he was allowed to put up his
stock, which was still ostensibly in the
brokers' hands. In most cases he
heard nothing about either the pool or
the stock thereafter.
ITO my mind the most vicious prac-
tice we have found" said Mr.. Sim
mons. was that of requiring people,
especially women, to put up more and
more margins after their stock had
actually been sold. There is one case
involving about 200 shares of an oil
stock. This was bought by a woman.
dress designer. who tells us that she
has to work early and late at her busi-
ness. She bought the stock early one
morning. 1t was actually sold by the
concern with which she dealt the very
next day
"The price went down and continued
to go down. Notwithstanding the fact
that they had sold the stock, the firm
demanded margins from her as the
price fell, so that in four months she
was called on for 81 800 of additional
margin on stock the firm had not held
for more than twenty-four hours. The
firm. which is one of the well known
ones got $4,000 of that woman's
money"
Active brokerage Accused.
II. ]. Kenner, director of the vigi-
lance committee of the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of the World, will turn
over to Mr.. Simmons to-day two cases
involving the operations of a house
which is fairly well known here and
has branches in Philadelphia, Cleve-
land, Akron, Toledo and other cities.
The firm is still doing business.
One case, which Mr.. Kenner's or
ganization has investigated, relates to
the purchase by man in Akron on
January 23 of stock worth approXi-
mately $5,400. In the lot purchased
were 200 shares of Consolidated Tex
tile. 100 shares of Rock Island and so
shares of American Linseed. The pur-
chase was made through the Akron
branch of the New York firm.
The purchaser, after repeated efforts
to get delivery of the stock for which
he paid. called the matter to the at
tention Of Mr.. Kenner. After investi-
cation the latter made a demand on
the New York house for delivery of
the stock. but did not get it, being
put off with promises. He said the
latest promise was that the stock
would be delivered to-day, but that he
thought it wise to inform the District
Attorney regardless.
The second case differs only in the
details. Another Akron customer of
the same house purchased 100 shares
of Cuban Cane Sugar, an issue which
is easily obtainable, paying in the
neighborhood of S1,500. He likewise
failed to get his stock at the Akron
branch and reported the matter to
Mr.. Kenner. In this case the New
York house professed ignorance of
the transaction, indicating that the
order might never have come through
from Akron.
These two cases have been taken

tors. Wherefore, it need occasion no
surprise If some morning you receive
letter from concern you never
heard of giving you advice on how to
make your savings earn more. DO
not wonder how TIE author of the let
ter knew you had a savings account.
He didn't. He simply figured it an
almost even bet that you did have one
and wrote the letter.
Now. such a letter is written in the
special endeavor of a bucket shop di-
rected solely at savings deposits. Such
letter and the letters which follow
it-fcr if you get a communication OF
that sort, you may rest assured your
name is card indeXed for a follow
up"-in nearly every instance have
three steps preliminary to gaining
control of the account.
To awaken in depositors dis
trust of legitimate savings banking
institutions.
To convince the depositor that he
is losing profits by leaving his
money on savings deposit.
To persuade him that the proper
way to make more money is to turn
the deposit over to the author of
the letter.
Thus these letters ask the depositor
whether he is making as much as 10
per cent. on his savings deposits. OF
course he isn't. as his deposit is draw
ing the usual 3h or 4 per cent. Fol-
lows then a paragraph of insinuation
that the depositor is being cheated
through receiving so low an interest
rate while the bank receives tremen-
dous rates according to the letter,
through the use of the money.
The depositor is asked to take look
at his banks surplus and reflect on
whether his bank could have built up
such surplus on 31s per cent. Be-
sides, inquiries the letter writer, how
do you know that your bank will still
be solvent when you wake up to-mor-
row morning? What do you know
about your bank anyway?
This line of argument is followed by
glowing description of how other
savings depositors have waxed rich
through the good offices of the particu-
lar bucket shop making the appeal; or
else very "confidential' advice is
handed out, because your name hav-
ing been given to us by a friend as
sures us your integrity and standing is
such as to warrant our placing YOU
on the list Of few favored customers
to whom we give inside information

Some Sure to Bite.

Experience has taught the bucketeer
that certain percentage of persons
thus appealed to will consent to with
draw their savings and turn them over
to be Invested" in some marvellous
stock. Once in the hands of the
bucket shop the savings account never
gets back to its owner except on rare
occasions when the vision of iron bars
is made trifle too strong in isolated
cases.
Not infrequently an actual inspec-
ton of the savings account is per-
mitted by the owner under the pre-
text of examining the account and ad-
vising the client, the bucketeer find
ing out how much money the depositor
has and determining the easiest means
Of fleeing the victim.
But the greed of the bucket shop
does not stop with the mere theft OF
the money already deposited. There
are concerns-one, of which detail
mention will be made presently. is
under investigation now-which actu-
ally gain authority to check against
such accounts while the saver keeps
on depositing.
Such practice is usually made on
foreign born or theIvery ignorant. The
foreign element of New York has been
a lucrative field for the savings ac-
counts sharks, for the reason that vir-
tually every foreigner who comes to
these shores arrives with the definite
idea in mind of getting rich in a new
country of wonderful opportunities as
rapidly as he can.

might be the very determining fac
tor in the life or death Of the Amer
lean merchant marine
"If that is true at all, it must be
fully as true under private owner
ship plus subsidies as under govern
ment ownership of seagoing YES
sails. MI. Lasker's argument sim
mers down'to this, that in order to
have any merchant marine at all,
whether public or private in own
ership, we must float it on a sea
of booze.
Thus the ship subsidy bill is be-
ing steered by the chairman of the
shipping board up against the con-
stitution of the United States. In
such a collision the 18th amend
ment will not be the first to 60
down. MI. Harding will probably
seek an early opportunity to dis
entangle his subsidy program from
the dangerous implications Of Lask-
erism."

Missoula. June 21.-The first day OF

More than 500 students will probably

An attendance of 500 would make
the 1922 summer session the larges,
in the history of the university. More
stringent entrance requirements and q
reduced percentage in railroad fare re

applications. No work is offered this

work are many former students and

Glendive. June 21.-Gov. Joseph NJ.
Dixon was the guest Of honor OF the
business men of Glendive at a dinner at
the Jordan hotel last Sunday evening.
1t was an informal gathering and ar
ranged on rather short notice, as it
was not certain that the governor could
reach Glendive in time for a dinner
until late Saturday evening. Covers
were laid for over so guests. The
gathering was arranged by the Glendiye
Chamber of Commerce.
President John F. Murphy of the
chamber of commerce acted as toast
master and in presenting the governor
said that the extreme eastern portion
of the state. because of its geographic
location, did not have the good fortune
to welcome the chief executive as often
as other parts Of the state. and that
on this occasion it felt extremely hon
ored and desired to show its apprecia-
ton by the rather impromptu and
hurriedly arranged entertainment.
The governor. who was the only
speaker. dwelt at some length on his
trip through the northern and east.
ern portions Of the state and said that
he had never seen agricultural condi-
tons in Montana any better. He felt
that with the present year and an
other year like it, it would not only
put the farmers back on their feet.
but cause them and the business com
munty to forget the last few years
with their sound lessons of farm and
business management.
Governor Dixon stressed the need Of
greater Investigation, the promotion
of dairying and rotation of crops.
Touching state governmental economic
conditions. he pointed out that all
branches of the government were earn
estly striving to reduce taxation. but
thst there was a point beyond which
the people cold not go without endan--
gering the common veal by reducing
expenditures at the expense Of eff
cheney, especially in matters of public
education. The great size of the state
rendered it difficult for parts Of the
state to fully appreciate the problems
and difficulties of other sections, and
that he was making the trip to become
better acquainted with conditions.
Governor Dixon spoke at a large
