|. D. c. STOCK FRAUDS
Senate Includes Provision in
Proposed Restriction on
Securities Sales.

The new Federal restriction on the
sale of securities is expected to close
the District of Columbia to exploitation
by shady stock promotion agencies
which have enjoyed almost unlimited
freedom in the past.
A provision was made by the Senate
to make the bill apply to stock transac-
tions within" the District, as well as
to those in interstate commerce" q
protection which the District shares
with the other States and the Terri
tories.
The final legislative step was taken
late yesterday when the Senate ap-
proved without debate the conference
report, which the House had ratified
Monday The bill Is now on its way to
the White House for President Roose-
yelt's signature.
1t was predicted by investigators here
that at least score Of questionable
stock sales agencies and 100 statesmen
District by the new regulations.
Protection of Investors.
These designate the Federal Trade
Commission as the agency to protect
investors by requiring registration OF
security issues and by imposing imita-
tions on information contained in pros
pectuses circulated in connection with
security issues.
As finally agreed to in conference, the
bill defines the term interstate COM
merce" as meaning trade or commerce
in securities within the District OF Co
ltmbia," as well as between States or
between any State or Territory and the
District.
The measure outlines the power of the
Trade Commission to take steps to pre-
vent fraud in interstate transactions.
The commission Is authorized to pre-
scribe rules and regulations governing
enforcement of the measure.
The final draft carried an amendment
by Senator johnson of California Great
ing corporation to help investors in
defaulting foreign bonds to recover some
of their money. The corporation would
be set up upon the order of the Presi-
dent.
d. C. Protection Lacking.
Louis Rothschild, director of the
Better Business Bureau of Washington,
pointed out today that while practically
every State in the Union has some sort
of blue sky laws to help protect the
public from financial schemers, "the
District Of Columbia has never had
even that protection"
mo fraud law, no security selling
law has ever been enacted before by
Congress for the protection Of the half
a million citizens of our community.
The result Is known; the tremendous
losses Of the past are every day knowl-
edge,
until now Washington has been the
happy hunting ground for purveyors of
doubtful stocks, bonds, lands and other
so-called securities. For this reason,
we have great hope that the new legis-

B. F.. REMNANTS
Join FOREST WORK
Approximately $50 to Be Sent
to Fort Humphreys or

Struggling remnants of the bonus
army-the comparatively few marchers
who previously had failed either to OBJ

join the Civilian Conservation Corps
were being enrolled today at the Vet
erans' Administration for work in the
forests.
Approximately $50 of the men were
to be sent to Fort Humphreys or Lang
ley Field, Va, this afternoon, to join
1900 of their comrades of the bonus
convention at Fort Hunt, who left for
the camps last evening. If more than
$50 register for the reforestration work,
the surplus will be kept here until
more facilities for training can be pro-
vided, as the Army posts in this section
of the country already are filled to
capacity.
In selecting the veterans for forestry
work, preference will be shown men
with families Or other dependents, it
was said at the Veterans Administers
Ftion. No registrations were being made
today. of single men.
A number of veterans who came here
with their families in automobiles and
could not take advantage of the Gov
ernment's free rail transportation,
were being given gas, oil and ration
money today at the Veterans Admins
tration. Only bona fide delegates to
the bonus convention were being cared
for. officials said.
Director Robert Fechner of Emer-
gency Conservation Work today issued
a warning that no out-of-town vet
Grams would be registered here for
the Civilian Conservation Corps after
the delegates to the bonus army con-
vention have been disposed of. Fechner
urged all veterans desiring work in the
forests to remain home, pointing out
that If they stayed In their own vicini-

Submission of Governmental
Reorganization to Congress
May Be Delayed.
MESSAGE TO ACCOMPANY
PROPOSAL TO CAPITOL
President Confers With Budget
Director and Commerce Sec
retary Roper.

Submission to Congress of President
Roosevelt's governmental reorganization
plan may be delayed until next week,
1t was indicated at the White House
today.
1t was the Presidents original inten-
ton to send the plan to Congress be-
fore the week end recess, but he now
wishes to give further study to certain
features Of the preliminaries, 1t was
learned.
Mr.. Roosevelt expects to accompany
the reorganization plan with q message
which will explain briefly the general
scheme and its purposes He has not
yet started writing this message.
Uncertain to Time.
While Mr.. Roosevelt was uncertain
today as to Just how soon he would be
able to send his reorganization program
to the Capitol, he made it clear he
wants to forward the message at least
two weeks before adjournment of
Congress.
The President conferred again last
night with Lewis Douglas, budget direc-
tor, regarding the reorganization pro-
gram and again during the forenoon
today with Secretary of Commerce
Roper. Both Douglas and Roper have
been the Presidents principal leuten-
ants in working out the preliminaries
incident to general reorganization
plan.
The President feels confident Congress
will lose no time In putting its stamp
Of approval upon his program. which,
in its sweeping form, will call for
saving in Government expenses of ap-
proximately 5000, ,000, 600, as well as
abolish considerable overlapping and
duplication Of activities on the part Of
the various agencies of the Government
as 1t is now constituted.
Ironing Out Needed.
After his conference with Mr.. Roose-
welt, Secretary Roper said the pans
that have been submitted by the various,
cabinet officers to the White House
were virtually completed and only the
matter of ironing out" few minor
details remained.
Mr.. Roper said as result Of this
conference he would confer at once
with Budget Director Douglas on
Strengthening out several items in the
program which concern his department
Roper declared that II the President
approves the plans submitted saving
of approximately $l5,000,000 to $20,-
000, 900 would be effected within the
Commerce Department alone by the
creation Of q transportation section.
Roper said his economy program Is
now virtually completed and ready to
be placed into effect. He estimated
that the department which Is now
operating on an appropriation of $43,-
0O0. 900 will be cut to between $26, ,000.-
900 and $4,000, 0,000.

iron sulphite. carried in the water, Is
produces the rapid chemical change
when exposed to air. Experiments are
under way to prevent this decomposi-
ton, so that specimens of the ancient
wood may be preserved. Specimens
have been soaked in alcohol, which
mixes with water in the wood. Then
alcohol and water evaporate together.
After this process has gone on for a
little while, the specimen is taken from
the alcohol and soaked in glycerin.
This will mix with water and alcohol,
but not with water alone. 1t tends to

Report Being Prepared.
Thus far no traces of ancient ami
mails other than insects, have been
found in the deposit, but If the wood
was preserved it is possible that animal
skeletons would have been preserved
also. It is known that there were
dinosaurs in this part of the country at
about the time represented by the de-
posits. There is also a likelihood that
there were amphibians and even man.

posit for traces of them.

is being prepared. Similar material
has been found elsewhere in the coun-
try, but mostly in the form of small
pieces. Here there are whole logs.
There is also a considerable accumula-
ton Of poorly carbonized leaves, from
which, it is expected. 1t will be possible
to identify the ancient trees
The Rapp boy, while member OF
Mr.. Benn's Boy Scout troop, developed
an avid interest in nature study in gen.
eral and in geology in particular, and
has brought curious specimens to the

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.
TINE sharp eyes of District Boy
Scout may have resulted in the
discovery Of large 'petrif1ed'
forest, close to a hundred mil
lion years old which local geolo-
gists regard as one of the important
scientific finds Of the year.
Floyd Anthony Rapp, Is years old,
$500 Third street northeast, was roam
ing through the woods along Rams
Horn Greek, close to the District Of Co
lumbia line, when he noted in the bank
of the stream what looked like par
TALLY burned wood in a stratum about
inches thick. He broke off samples
of this wood and took them to his
former Scoutmaster, James H. Benn,
geologist of the National Museum. Benn
visited the site and recognized the i'm
portance of the find.
1t was evidently part of an ancient
confer, probably cypress, forest which
grew over this area In the so-called
Potomac geological era, which came be-
tween the upper and lower Cretaceous.
This was in the closing days of the age
of monster reptiles, when dinosaurs still
were wallowing in the vast swamplands
and the first small mammals were max
ing their appearance. The old forest
had fallen and become buried under the
accumulations of millions of years. Then
there had been various geological proc
esses which placed it somewhere near
the surface again. Rams Horn Greek
had cut slice through it.
Explorations Planned.
The trees must have been enormous
Part of one log, which appears to have
been a branch, is more than 8 feet
thick at the base. The probability is
that the forest covered q considerable
area, now hidden under the surrounding
farmlands. Geologists plan explorations
to find its extent.
1t is not a petrifled forest In the same
sense as the celebrated petrifled forest
of Arizona, where the entire substance
Of the ancient wood has been replaced by
silica deposited by running waters. Here
almost the opposite process has taken
place. Everything but the carbon has
been taken out of the wood, q process
known as lignification. It has been q
process somewhat similar to the making
Of charcoal, the vast stretches of time
acting like slow, heatless fire. The
wood has been turned to jetlike sub
stance, black and capable of taking a
high polish. It has been arrested on
the way to becoming COAL The ancient
structure of the wood Is plainly evi-
dent. Inside it are tunnels made by
