laws in a later article, but when all
the prospective purchaser has to do is
to telephone the Better Business Blu
reau and find out something about the
stock he wants to buy the good that
could be accomplished by law Is left
somewhat in doubt.
The "Dynamiter's" Methods.
How. are they selling this stock in
Washington?
A "dynamiter," as a high-pressure
security salesman or promoter is
known, comes to Washington with a
new racket" consisting of a bunch
of stock in the Lovers Leap Silver
Mining Corporation. In the first
place, 1t must be understood that
there is a Lovers Leap Silver Mining
Corporation, and this corpora ton
owns silver mine. Whether there
is any silver in it depends upon the
point of view.
Romance Is a valuable asset in sell
ing stock, and if share of stock can
be dressed in a little romance its
disposal Is made much easier. This
fact has not been overlooked in the
Lovers Leap Silver Mining Corpora
ton. 1t seems that a few years ago
poor but honest prospector was
vending his way across -bleached
desert to keep a tryst with an Indian
maid whose hand he sought in holy
wedlock from her father, Chief Talk
Much-and-S ay-Little. A chance ray
from the sun caught something in the
desert and made it sparkle. The pros
pector Immediately stopped his faith
full burro's mad gallop and dug where
the sparkle sparkled. 1t turned out to
be a silver mine, rich in sterling,
without any plate anywhere. Hasten
ing on to keep his tryst, the pros.
pector was disappointed to find upon
arrival at the TRUSTING place that the
Indian maid, rebuked by her naughty
father for wanting to marry a lowly
prospector, had jumped only that
morning from Lovers Leap, high
stone pinnacle used by Indian maids
for leaping when disappointed in love.
Enraged and heart-broken. the pros
pector hastily wrote out directions for
finding the silver mine and put them
into a bottle, which he cast into the
sea. He then leaped from Lovers
Leap and was never seen again. The
bottle, 10 years later, was picked up
by one Steven Sylvester. a cook aboard
II. M. S. Renown, who had been cut
off with a shilling by his father, the
duke, for insulting the wears daugh-
ter. Sylvester came to America and
formed corporation after finding the
mine. The corporation needed money
to start the mine, so Sylvester, being
opposed to duke and aristocracy. is
sued a small quantity of stock to
share his riches among the common
people.
The "dynamiter" opens a finely fur.
nished office in Washington and in.
serts an advertisement which brings
him lot Of ambitious young men
who have pictures in their minds of
eventually becoming bond statesmen
and marrying the daughter of the
boss. From those who apply he selects

right! See you later. Mr.. Smith.
Fine day. Byebye!"
And did Mr.. Smith profit by his
experience with the silver mine stock?
He did not.
Then there Is the telephone broker.
He calls up Mr.. Angus McGinnis. a
Hard headed Business Man, who is
noted for his ability to make the buff
faloes on the nickels below because
he suueezes them so hard. Mr.. Nc
Ginnis prides himself on his business
acumen.

ARMY-NAW UNION
PLANS BIG RALLY
Historical Parade May Be

surprising how few of the intimate
friends Of these Hard-headed Business
Men know anything about the pres
ence of this stock. It is one Of those
things that one does not like to talk
about.
But the activities Of fake stock pro-
motors and statesmen OF worthless
securities are so we'll known in Wash
ington that their mere presence is
sufficient evidence of the success of
their business transactions, while most
any banker and every dealer in legiti-
mate securities will sit down and talk
by the hour upon the gullibility OF his
well beloved w-Washingtonians.
They know many cases of lilies" who
have been 'plucked." as the process
is described in the vernacular. They
are the ones to whom the lilies
come with alarmed expressions upon
their faces and whisper, please look
these over and tell me il they are any
good" And they are the ones who
will testify with something that re.
sembles a twinkle in their eyes that
the lilies" are not confined to the
widows and orphans. but include in
their SERTED ranks many OF the
LOWn f1dIQ-u6dO6U DuStuGSS mCLi
and chiefly lawyers with heavy brains
and doctors with shiny limousines.
Washington is considered a fruitful
field for planting worthless securities.
One reason is the absence Of any
legislation that prohibits much Of any.
thing in the sale Of securities except
Misrepresentation and bucket shops.
Both are difficult to prove. Add to
this an undying faith in men with
something to sell. a trait inherent in
most human beings, and an unwill.
ingness publicly to proclaim that one
has been trimmed, and the promoter
or salesman with a lot of worthless
paper to unload on the unsuspecting
public is left free and unhampered
to go the limit.
Today there are scores Of statesmen
in Washington who are making house
toulouse convasses with "cat-and-dog'
securities-highly speculative small
ventures-in companies the common
stock of which has a potential value of
$40 a share. and these statesmen ap'
parently are having no great difficulty
in selling it for 500 a share. This ia
absolutely within the law. If man
is willing to pay $500 for something
that might be worth $40. no law is
going to do him a lot Of good. There

Each young salesman is ambitious,
each has a group of close friends.
aunts and other relatives, almost all
of whom have at their disposal a
small amount Of cash which they
would like to invest in order to make
money quick and travel in Europe for
the Summer. Remember that each
young salesman Is an honest young
man, believing from the ground up
that the stock he sells will yield. as
the boss told him it would. a return
of from 20 to Is. so and even 100 per
cent. Each tackles father. mother and
Aunt Mary, and Aunt Mary usually
buys some out of her savings and
writes to her sister that Harold, al
though just out of college. Is now
regular bond salesman with a repu-
table house, and the young rascal sue
ceeded in selling me some fine stock. y
Harold and his brethren also sell
other shares of stock to their other
relatives and friends, promising them,
with the enthusiasm of youth, that
they will perhaps double their money
in year.
Now. here is the peculiar thing
about this transactions: Each person
who buys a share of this stock has a
fair amount Of common sense, yet q
promised return of 20 per cent or
more seems to dull instead of sharpen
their wits. 1t never occurs to them to
ask why. with SO much money avail
able at 5. s, or even 10 per cent. the
silver mine corporation should have
to pay out 20 per cent. 1t never
occurs to them to find out why, II a
reputable bond house only makes a
profit of perhaps SO cents on 500
transaction, Harold's commission alone
amounts to SIS.
And, most amazing Of all, it never
occurs to the purchaser to delay his
investment long enough to seek the
advice Of the Better Business Bureau
or of a trusted friend who has made
an established reputation as a dealer
in legitimate securities. And when
they get stung on the purchase of the
silver mine stock they either tie the

stung again.
And here is how they get stung
again: Mr.. Jones. the "dyiamiter,
has sold all of his silver mine stock
and has kept a list Of his "plucked
lilies" In several months. or maybe
after a year or two, he sends out
representative to see Mr.. Smith, upon

silver mine stock.

"Fine"' says the representative.
"Now here is what Mr.. Jones will do:

Government Attacks Three
Strips of Land Held
Pay Elk Hills Fine

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26. =
simultaneously with the announce
ment that the Edward l.. Doheny
oil companies had paid in full the
court decree OF $13.O13.151 in the
Elk Hills lease suit, the Navy
Department made known that the
Government had instituted a new
suit against the companies at
lacking their Calm to three strip
leases totaling B61 acres of oil
land. on the eastern end of the
Naval oil reserve in California.
The payment brought to close
the Elk Hills lease litigation. the
special government counsel. Owen
J. Roberts and former Senator
Atlee Pomerene, who prosecute I
the case, reported to the Navy
Department. 1t was estimated by
the Department that this payment
brought the total recovery Of
more than $3O.0O0,O00 to the Gov
eminent from the Doheny lease in
addition to reclaiming title to
10000 acres OF oil land.
The new action is based on the
ground that the operation Of the
wells on the strip leases might
drain Naval wells on the reserve
and Roberts and Pomerene have
been retained by the Attorney
General In the case.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept.

denomination of President Cool
idge at the Republican conven-
tion next year in spite Of the
Presidents statement that he
does not choose to run again. A
statement to this effect was made
today by Senator Walter e. Edge,
New Jersey, after call at the
White House.
Senator Edge expressed the
opinion that New Jersey would
send an uninstructed delegation
to the convention, one prepared
to vote for President Coolidge
unless he makes it more emphatic
that he will not be a candidate.
The Senator said Charles Evans
Hughes and Secretary Herbert
Hoover had very strong support
in New Jersey, declaring that
both had a fifty-fifty chance to
secure the States vote in the
convention should the President
take himself out OF the race.
