Charge Of Effecting
Manipu|ative Trades
Junius A. Richards
Is Called to Hearing
Letter Part Of Month
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission in an order yesterday
charged Junius A. Richards, part
ner Of Smith, Barney g. Co., New
York investment firm, with effect
ing manipulative transactions for q
London firm.
The commissions order did not
involve the Smith-Barney firm,
which has headquarters in both New
York and Philadelphia.
The order called hearing March
q to determine whether Mr.. Rich
ards should be suspended from
membership on certain national Sc
curities exchanges.
The commission had cause, the
order said, to believe Mr.. Richards
had effected transactions "for per-
sons who he had reason to believe
were then violating" the manipula-
tive provisions of the Securities Ex-
change Act of 1884.
Simplicity Pattern Stock.
The order charged Mr.. Richards
had accepted orders in the stock of
Simplicity Pattern Co., Inc, from
the British investment banking firm
of Robert Benson & Co., Ltd.
A commission official said the Ben
son firm was "one of the four lead
ing British investment banking con-
Germs"
The common stock of Simplicity
Pattern, in which the manipulation
was alleged to have occurred, is reg
istered on the New York Curb EX-
change.
The commission charged that the
transactions, beginning August /,
1888. and continuing until about No
vember 80, 1898, were for the pur-
pose of creating false and mislead-
ing appearance of active trading in
the common stock of Simplicity Pat
tern Co., Inc"
Reason to Believe" Claimed.
At the time of the transaction, the
commission said, Mr.. Richards has
reason to believe the Benson firm
was creating manipulative activity
in the stock.
Under the commissions order. Mr..
Richards must show cause why he
should not be suspended, for period
ranging up to IL months, from men,
bership on the New York Curb Ex-
change, the New York Stock EX-
change, the Baltimore Stock Ex-
change, the Chicago Stock Exchange,
the Chicago Board of Trade, the
Boston Stock Exchange and the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange.
The commissions allegations were
the first involving a foreign con-
Germ. Under the law, the S. E. C. is
unable to take any action against
foreign firms.

Senator T h o m a S
Thinks 1t Is Slap, for
Cutting Treaty With
J a p a n; Lindbergh
Warns Against Get
ting Into War.

Washington, Sept. 16.-!(AP) =
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Utah, a
member of the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee, expressed the
view today that the Soviet-Japanese
agreement to suspend fighting on the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Mongolia border
might be a retaliatory move against
the United States for serving notice
of intention to terminate the 1911
commercial treaty with Japan.
Secretary Hull notified the Japa-
nese government in July that the 70
year-old treaty would lapse on jan
uary &c, 1910.
While Washington awaited the full
significance of the RusSO-Japanese
truce. Colonel Charles Lindbergh last
night appealed to the United States
in a radio address to stay out OF the
European war. In one OF his lntre-
ouent public utterances, the famous
flier warned the nation not to be
misguided by this foreign propa-
ganda, to the effect that our from
tiers lie in Europe. One need only
to glance at a map to see where our
true frontiers lie What more could
we ask than the Atlantic Ocean on
the east and the Pacific Ocean on
the west, No, our interest in Europe
need not be from the standpoint OF
defense. Our own natural frontiers
are enough for that
Some diplomats in Moscow looked
upon the Russo-Japanese armlstlce
as the possible forerunner Of a non
aggression pact between the two
countries. Noting this, Senator
Thomas told reporters:
eff it means an unfriendly Japan
the danger would be closer to oul
shores. If it is a sincere 'non-aggres-
sion pact, it is a peaceful move. Il
it is a cloak for something else, i
is not SO good"
