JUSTICE ASKED
FOR INDIANS

Championing the cause of the
American Indian, Representative
Edgar Howard of Nebraska yester-
day told the Lions Club at it's
luncheon in the Mayflower Hotel
that practically every treaty ever
made by the American Government
with the Indians had been ruthlessly
broken.
Howard recalled the horror ex-
pressed by the American people
when the German government
termed it's. treaty with Belgium as
a scrap of paper" He also pointed
out that governmental treaties with
the Indians were also looked upon
as scraps of paper" and that the
Indian has not had square deal
for years.
His purpose in addressing the
club was to arouse their interest in
the American Indians and endeavor
to get them to fall behind various
movements for the betterment of
their conditions. ~L
Giving vivid pictures of Indian
life particularly the Omaha tribe,
with which he is familiar, the Con-
gressman also told of their senti-
ments, costumes and mode of living.
Madame Effie Scheirr, Western
opera singer, gave several vocal
selections.

RAILROAD CARS
ESCAPE FR|Sk
FOR LIQUOR
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH

Indications that the Government
will mot enforce its threat Of un-
loading every freight car crossing
the Canadian border to search for
liquor, were seen today when. it
was learned at the Treasury that
the railroads are giving excellent
cooperation to the Federal authcri-
ties in cutting down shipments Of
intoxicants.
Assistant Secretary Of the Treas
ury Seymour Lownlan declared that
1--WE have. been getting the finest
kind of cooperation both from
Canadian customs authorities and
from the railroads.
While admitting that smuggling
of liquor across the. border cannot
be stopped entirely, Lowman de-
clared that it can be cut down ma
terially.
Sometime ago railroads operating
between United States and the
dominion and treasury officials he'll
a series of conferences here WITH
the result that plan was worked
out to check liquor shipped under
the: label of legitimate goods. AT
that time Lowman indicated that
unless railroads co-operated it might
be necessary for the government to
invoke a clause Of the customs
laws permitting search Of all cars
for contraband. The alternative
plan however, is working out.
In spite Of action at Detroit to
reduce rum running activities ther<
it was generally believed here that
there was a, generous supply or
;iquor available for the Thanksgiv
ing bootleg trade and that plenty
will be Hnn tan" for Christmas.

'BUY|NG CRAZE :.
D|SCUSSEDBT
FORBES
By b Q. FORBES

The president of corporation
In the Northwest sends me q list
az the subscribers for an issue IL
preferred stock. It's two most in
teresting features are the number
of shares purchased and the o.
cupation Of the buyers.
This information furnishes fresh
evidence of the widespreadness Of
the publie's interest In acquiring
stocks.
Small Lot Buyers
Included among the occupa.
tions are those Of logger, rancher,
single weaver, game warden,
widow, student. mechanic, doctor,
clerk, milk inspector, telegraph
operator, meat cutter, housewife,
merchant, nurse, retired engineer.
The highest number OF shares
taken By any one buyer was rs.
and only two subscribed Tor that
amount. Two bought n shares
one took 20. but all the others
were for smaller amounts,
Slightly more than half Of the
subscribers had not previously
owned any stock ii this company.
d public utility. reasonably
safe assumption would be that
most Of the new buyers had not
previously owned any kind Of
stock whatsoever Experience has
proved that public utility corpora
tions have been more effective
than any others In inducing
families Of modest means TO make
their debut as stockholders.
Women Gambling
Brokers tell me that the increase
iii women dabbIers in stocks has
been extraordinary. IN some branch
offices uptown In New York more
women than men crowd in TO
watch the quotations board or 10
finger the tape. The old rule
barring women as customers has
been lifted by most brokers'.
stocks selling for next to nothing
have an irresistible fascination
for many women Of moderate
means who have contracted the
speculative fever. Instead Of buy
ing few shares OF high-grade
stuff. they love to gamble In low
priced issues.
That phrase, speculative craze
hits the existing situation square1y
on the head.
