Attorney General Daugherty
Warns Public Against
Spurious Securities.
ASKS BLUE sky FARLEY
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-More than
4SO stock swindling cases pending IN the
Federal Courts today show that the gen.
eral public has been mulcted of at least
$40, oil ,231 through the sale Of fraudulent
bonds and stocks during recent years.
In revealing this Incarnation Attorney
General Daugherty took occasion to warn
the public against the orgy Of fake BOND
and stock sales apparently sweeping the
country at the present time. He expressed
hope that State governments would take
immediate steps to check the activities
of bucket shops and like financial organl-
zations whose raids upon the public have
been made largely through fake oil, min
ing and land companies.
STOCK SCHEMES
HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL.
The crowded dockets of the Federal
Courts all over the country, involving 8I4
arrests and convictions, the Attorney
General said, gave mute evidence Of the
successes Of boosters of fake STOCK
schemes for elephant catching machines
and like imrossibilities in filch.ng large
numbers of persons seeking easy money.
These cases have come into the Fed
eral Courts, the Attorney General said,
through the misuse Of the mails to pro-
mote fake schemes. In addition he ven
turned the opinion there were many more
which had not reached the Federal
Courts.
More stringent blue sky laws by the
States and heavier sentences in cases OF
conviction were suggested by the At
torney General as the best means Of cop
ing with the situation. He said he IA
vOred that alternative rather than the en-
act,nent of a Federal statute to meet con-
ditions.
SUGGESTS CONFERENCE OF
ATTORNEY GENERALS.
Preliminary to an organized campaign
against fake bonds and stocks, he sug-
eested a gathering Of the blue ky law
commissioners and attorney generals OF
States.
The greatest part of the fraudulent
stock business has been done In the large
cities. according to the Attorney Gener-
ais figures. In the northern district OF
Illinois the docket Of the Federal Court
shows the greatest number of cases with
forty-three, involving the sum OF ST.
100000. The number in northern Texas
is forty-twO, he said, while the number
in southern New York is thirty eight;
In Nebraska, twenty four, and in western
Pennsylvania, nineteen. In western Mis-
souri,, fourteen cases pending, he said,
involve the sum Of $31, 779 200 The total
sum involved In cases in New York, his
figures show, is S1j, 4S2,110
The Attorney General cited as a no
torious case the so-caled Everglades case
now pending in Chicago. It involved 4
