NEW YORK. Feb. 23.-The silent
bsllyhoo men of Wall streets bucket
shops have mysteriously disappeared.
For months these men, suave.
well dressed and of good manners,
have haunted the lobbie of some of
the most important hotels, meeting
tnen from out Of town, who were
persuaded that "now's the time" to
take a flyer in Wall street.
In various ways the ballyhoos as.
certained the financial ratings Of Wis
itors and other information that led
to the establishment Of a firm ac-
auaintanceship. From that point II
was easy to lead them into bucket
shops operating in the street"
Then the Fleeing began and con-
tinued to such an extent that within
the past two months alone $4,000, 900
was taken from the unwary.
Three detective squads that made
the rounds recently said that the
newspaper exposures had driven
