Federal Courts
Are Swamped With
Fake Stock Cases
One Judge Working Every

100000 Years to Clear
Docket, Daugherty Says.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Dockets OF
the federal courts throughout the
country are swamped with fake
stock swindling cases in which more
than $l40000,00O has been taken
from incautious investors. Attorney
General Daugherty said tonight
There are. he added, a total of 4S0
of these cases in the federal courts,
in which "a persons have been ar
rested or indicted.
1T would take one Judge, work.
ing u months a year, 100000 years
to. clean up the docket Mr.. Daugh-
erty said.
Oil Fakes Lead.
Most of the cases, he explained,
were fake oil stock companies. al
though the swindling schemes
ranged from bucketshops and min-
ing stocks to patent elephant CATCH
er" promotions. Rich harvests are
reaped by swindlers. he asserted,
because people do not take pains to
investigate what they put their
money into.
The Department of Justice, Mr..
Daugherty continued, comes into
the prosecution of such cases
through violation of the postal laws
in the use of the mails to defraud,
but, he declared, that in his opin-
ion, the matter was one for state
action. A conference OF state blue
sky law commissioners, he suggest
ed, should be held to frame a uni
form law carrying uniform pun
ishment for stock swindlers.
Missouri Fertile Field.
Quoting from his reports, Mr..
Daugherty said that the northern
district OF Missouri led i'll the
involved in pending fake
stock cases. with a total of S3l,-
10000, while the northern district
of Illinois had the greatest NUM-
Der of gases with 45, the northern
district Of Texas stood second with
AZ cases and the southern district
Of New York had So cases.
As an instance of schemes ap-
pealing to credulous investors, Mr..
Daugherty cited "the famous ever
glades case" in which S5O,O00 had
been obtained on the stock of a
company formed to drain and farm
rich. Florida lands and sold on the
that there was no frost
in Florida. After the stock had been
disposed OF, he added, the frost
came.
This case. he said. had been pend
ing in Chicago several years and
had already cost the government
about 100000, but he was studying
the advisability of pressing it.

The three great objects OF the

limitation Of armament. the termina-

and the attainment OF "all we could
for the benefit Of China. in which
the dominant feature was the return
OF the province OF Shantung."
"ln all three OF these objects" he
continued. I'VE were successful. !

came into power, has made record
in international and domestic ac-
complishmcnts by which il may ask
the country to stand without fear
or misgiving,' said Senator Lodge.
Urging republicans TO pay no heed
to the outcries of political opponents
who call the present congress a do
nothing" body, but rather to go
forward in the good old republican
way and carry on" Senator Lodge
reviewed the achievements OF the
party since it gained control of con-
gress in March, 1919.

within bounds when | say that no
congress in time of peace has ever
shown such an amount Of important

has been enacted by the present coli

Proud of Record.
The republicans, he said, "iound
the worst situation economically
which any party in this country had
ever been called upon to face and
we have a right to be proud of Cur

Senator Lodge dwelt at length
upon the fruits OF the armament con-
