By FREDERICK J. HAsK1N

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 4-The
American people are being exploited
by the greatest blue sky business
in the history of the world, in the
opinion of government officials who
have made a careful study of the vend-
ing here of foreign currencies. There
is much perplexity as to just how it
can be regulated and its most per
nicious aspects halted. No federal
blue sky law exists and those of many
of the states are regarded as loose.
Even if there were adequate legisla-
ture to govern the sales of securities
of doubtful value, there is a question
as to whether or not such laws would
cover the dealing in currencies.
The case of the German mark is
the most notable. Billions of German
marks have been purchased by Ameri-
cans, as well as by citizens of Other
countries, in the hope and expectation
that great rewards would be reaped
by the purchasers upon the return
of the mark to its gold par value. The
trick in the situation is that the mark
cannot recover
The mark is by no means the only
case. Others are even more fragrant.
The German mark has had more pub
licity because of the conspicuous po-
sition of the German nation in world
affairs. Also, the fact that the Ger
man reparations are involved in the
matter has added interest and tend
ed to give wider circulation to reports
concerning the dealing in this depreci-
ated currency.
What the blue sky operators are do
ing is selling to Americans for dollars
notes Of European countries which
are payable only in those countries
and not payable anywhere in gold
Exchange in all these European coun
tries steadily declines from week t.

FORMER FEDERAL DRY OFFICER IS
 AGAIN ON TRIAL
Kirkland Perjury Case Up for Second Time During
 Present Court Term.

For the second time during the present term of the |. s. District Court, I. w. Kirkland. former Fed eral Prohibition Agent was placed on trial this morning on perjury charge The first trial, which was held about two weeks ago, resulted in no decision being reached by, the jury
 The charge of perjury grows out of raid made by the accused man and W. C. yburn, another agent, on a cabin near Point How ard on the north shore of Lynn Canal, the raid taking place last January. AS result of the raid Edward (Frozenfoot) Johnson was later put under arrest charged with violation of the prohibition laws but was not indicted by the Federal grand jury Investigating the mat ter, largely, it is alleged, owing to the certain testimony given before it by Kirkland and MacMayburn. It was out of this testimony that Kirkland was indicted on perjury charge. A similar indictment was returned against MacMayburn but was dismissed when he turned states vidence in the recent trial of the former.
 Difficulty in securing a jury was encountered today. Two special venires were issued by Judge Reed for 36 additional talesmen. Late this afternoon twelve jurors haG been passed for cause but few per emptory challenges had been exer- cised It was expected that the jury would be completed before adjourn ment for the day.
