Mr.. Simmons said the ork his staff
has done so far in turning up the
bucket shops of the Wall Street district
has hardly scratched the surface"
The effort to drive out financial crooks,
he added. will include also frauds in the
merchantile field. In that work the
Merchants Protective Association. OF
which II. p. McKenny is president, is
cooperating with the District Attorney.
The efforts at cleaning up the finan-
cial district. said Mr. Simmons, are
fraught with difficulty because he must
of necessity under the law depend OH
complaints made to him rather than on
IN aggressive attack upon the citadel.
Nevertheless. he and District Attorney
Banton have built up one of the mos,
powerful machines ever created in New
York for roofing out the bucket shop

another telephone call is made, and
people are actually induced to give up
real money in that fashion. That is
technically known as cold turkey"
OF course. before Mr.. Bucketeer can
put up SO pretentious an establish
ment as that described he must have
a hacker or have started in a small
way and expanded. The possibilities
of doing that are well illustrated in
the case or Daniels & Co., 80 Broad
street. Two young Yellowstone had
never set foot in Wall Street before
in business capacity-got together
about $1,000 each and opened shop
eighteen months ago. Last November
they failed for $4,000. Not a bad
start. if they had not hit into the mid
die of the open season for failures.
The fact that an investor pays only
one commission when he knows that
the exchange broker must take that
commission from the non-member
broker before he can execute the order
should be warning enough to tell any
one that his broker" intends to get
his profit from something besides the
legitimate commission.
