COPELAND BILL
NRUMP ASSES.

After a five-minute considera-
tion, the Senate this afternoon
passed the Copeland bill, remov-
ing all Federal limits on physi-
clans issuing liquor prescriptions.
The bill would authorize phySi-
clans to issue as many prescrip-
tionS for a patient as would be
required to "fill his medicinal
needs"
The bill would repeal the pres
ent limitation of one prescription
in 10 days. 1t also modified some
of the voluminouS reports now
being kept by physicians and
druggists.
The bill passed without a de.
bate. Vice President Garner
merely had the bill read by a
clerk, approved a number of
minor amendments, and declared
It passed. Then the Senate re-
allied it had enacted the bill
without debate.
Senator Sheppard CD of
Texas, dry leader, arose and said
he wanted the record to show he
opposed the bill.

Robin Here Fights Shadow
In Defense of Home

Washington also has its own
shadow battling" cock robin,
who believes he can lick the
world.
Today Mr.. Cock Robin wearily
began his fourth consecutive day
of fighting his own image in a
second-Story window Of the home
of Mrs. B. G. Wilkinson, of the
71OO block Piney Branch Rd.

Hasn't Missed a Day
Ever since he began his battle
at the window, he hasn't missed
a. day. He attacks the reflection
by flying at it with his wings
spread and hits the window with
his beak, wings and claws. After
several attempts to subdue what
he believes to be a rival, he flies
away, only to come back again
in a short time to start all over
again.
When the window is open, he

To the Congress:
I recommend to the Con-
greSs legislation for Federal
supervision of traffic in invest
ment securities in interstate
commerce.
In spite of many State
statutes, the public in the past
has sustained severe losses
through practices neither ethi-
cal nor honest on the part of
many persons and corporations
selling securities.
Full Publicity
OF course, the Federal Gov
ernment cannot and should
not take any action which
might be construed as approx
ing or guaranteeing that newly
issued securities are sound in
the sense that their value will
be maintained or that the
properties which they repre-
sent will earn profit.
There is, however, an obliga-

percheS on the branch OF an
elm tree about six feet away and
waits for it to be closed. Mrs.
Wilkinson has placed crumbs on
the sill but on every occasion he
has ignored them.
When the robin is not in fight
ing mood, he calls to his pretty
mate and she calls back to him.
Just Plain Jealousy
The two birds apparently had
picked the elm tree to build their
nest in, when the robin-red-breaSt
noticed his likeness in the win
dow. Taking no chances Of hav-
ing another robin win his lady
fair. he began his hopeless fight.
Efforts by Mrs. Wilkinson to
stop the battle have been unsuc-
cesSful.
The robin has ruSty-red breast
and his head and back are Of a
brown and gray. He is quite
young, which probably accounts
for it all.

ROOSEVELT |
To ASK FOR
!. RA|LCzAR
Congress to Get His Program
Next Week; Increased
Efficiency Sought

President Roosevelt will pro-
pose to Congress next week
the creation of a Federal CO.
ordinator with wide powers to
deal with the railroad situation.
The President is now engaged
I in whipping the rail legislation
into shape. Details have yet to
be worked out, but he hopes TO
have it in shape for transmits
sion to Congress in another week
will Have Assistants
The plan broadly calls for the
appointment of a Federal co-ordi'
nator, with regional assistants to
act under his direction.
There will be no Federal guar
anty of railroad bonds, it was
stated at the White House today,
and the expense of the plan will
be borne by the carriers them
selves: The President believes
the expense wiz 4ke' light, any,
way.
The main purposes of the pro-
gram are to Cd eliminate costly
duplication of services, 90 to pro-
vide readjustment of topheavy
capitalization through reduction
of fixed charges, and 90 promote
consultations in the general in
terests of efficiency.
For some days Mr.. Roosevelt
has been in consultation with
leading railroad figures, getting
their advice and suggestions. He
also has talked with members of
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, one of whose members, Jo-
seph B. Eastman, has been men
toned as possible appointee to
the new post. Another possibility
is said to be Carl Gray, president
of the Union Pacific.
Experts Have Aided
In the actual work of framing
the legislation, the President has
been assisted by a committee con-
sisting of Eastman, Secretary of
Commerce Roper, w. w. Splawn,
an authority in railroad matters.
Others have been called nj from
time to time.
There are now pending in Con-
greSs two railroad bills which
have Administration Endorsement,
on to regulate holding companies,
and another to repeal the recap
ture clause.

ton upon us to insist that
every issue of new securities to
be sold sin interstate commerce
shall be accompanied by full
publicity and information, and
that no essentially important
element attending the issue
shall be concealed from the
buying public.
This proposal adds to the
ancient rule of caveat emptor,
the further doctrine, "let the
seller also beware" 1t puts
the burden Of telling the whole
truth on the seller. 1t should
give impetus to honest dealing
in securities and thereby bring
back public confidence.
The purpose of the legisla.
tion I suggest is to protect the
public with the least possible
interference to honest buSi-
ness.
The First Step
This is but one step in our
broad purpose of protecting in
vestors and depositors. It
should be followed by legisla.
tion relating to the better super
vision of the purchase and sale
of all property dealt in on ex-
changes and by legislation to
correct unethical and unsafe
practices on the part of officers
and directors of banks and
other corporations.
What we seek is a return to
a clearer understanding of the
ancient truth that those who
manage banks, corporations,
and other agencies handling or
using other peoples money are
trustees acting for others.

DEFEAT SEEN
BY DILL,
OTHERS
Johnson BareS Attitude of
Revolt in Committee as
Relief Bills Pend

The crush of urgent domes-
tic relief legislation today
caused the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee to postpone
action for one week on the Ad-
ministration request that it re-
port the League Court treaty.
The weeks delay was sought
after Administrator leaders had
attempted in vain to smother a
rising tide of revolt against in
lection of this bitterly contro-
versial issue into the special ses-
sion.
The committee members, in ex-
ecutive meeting, discussed the
treaty for two hours without at
tempting to reach a decision.
Two Schools Of Thought
Senator Johnson (RO of Cali
fornia, a strong foe of American
adherence, said:
"There were two schools of
thought. One argument was
that the issue should be dis
posed of. The other was that
we ought not to detract from
domestic issues Of paramount
importance by attempting to
deal with this controversial in
ternatiOnal subject.
"SOme members believed it
wuOrulI hn haitian N 1ok tho &Na0{u
remain in committee, since
there is little prospect it could
be brought to a final vote at
the special session"
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader, said the
meeting today was devoted to dis
cussion of the legislative situa-
tion and the probable effect of
seeking ratification of the treaty
at this time.
MAY SEE ROOSEVELT
"The Democratic platform
pledged the party on this ques-
tiOn."
Democratic committee members
explained privately that in view
of the wave of protest against
submission of the Court issue,
they wanted time to confer with
the President and lay the situa-
ton before him.
The st. Lawrence waterway
treaty already is before the Sen
ate, they pointed out. and its ad-
herentS are fearful the Court de-
bate would ruin any chance to
obtain final vote on the Great
Lakes-to-the-Atlantic deep water
way project.

ISSUE Of
BLUESKY
STOCKS
Full Publicity for All New
Issues Urged; "Let Seller
Also Beware" He Says

President Roosevelt moved
formally today to revise the
ancient rule Of the stock mar
ket that the buyer should be-
ware to read "let the seller
also beware. "
He submitted to Congress q
lengthy bill designed to force all
concerns floating new issues Of
securities to give the public full
publicity concerning the back
ground of the concern.
To Protect Investors
Briefly, the burden of telling
the whole truth" is placed ON
the seller of securities. He said:
"What we seek is q return to
a clearer understanding of the
ancient truth that those who
manage banks, corporations
and other agencies handling or
usnig other peoples money are
truSteSe acting for others.
"This is but one step in our

veStOrS and depOSitOrS. 1t should
be followed by legislation relat-
ing to the better supervision Of
the purchase and sale of all
property dealt in on exchanges
and by legislation to correct
unethical and unfaith practices
on the part of officers and
directors of banks and other
corporations"
The proposal to regulate sale
of new securities would require
the filing of full information with
the Federal Trade Commission be-
fore any issue was undertaken,
and would call for complete state
ments to the public n subsequent
advertising.
Hearings Friday
Soon after the message was
read in the House, Representative
Rayburn DD of Texas, chairman
of the House Interstate Com
merce Committee, introduced a
bill carrying out the Presidents
proposals. His committee will
start hearings on tie legislation
Friday and e hoped they will be
brief"
In his message, Mr.. Roosevelt
frankly stated that severe losses
have been sustained by the in
vesting public in the past because
of practices neither ethical nor
honest" on the part Of many per-
sons and corporations selling Sc
curities.
Criminal penalties would be i'm
posed for violation of the law.
Main Provisions
Obligations of the U. S. Govern
ment, State governments, and
other public bodies alone are ex'
cepted in the bill.
Main provisions are:
l. The promoters, principal
officers, and directors or every
corporation issuing securities
must sign the detailed state
ments to be filed with the COM
mission. In the case of foreign
securities, the statement must
be signed by the American
negotiators or underwriters.
2. For domestic securities, the
bill requires names of the
issuers of stock, promoters, trus-
tees, officers, etc.; the amount
