An official of the Weetem Union, it
Is said, died on the prosecutor Thurs

these tickers would be held as evi

Mr. Shepherd discussed. Friday

the bucket shops. He said that a cer

three months. He is investigating the

employe of a big Detroit factory, who
lost several thousand dollars In buck

will take up the matter with the mans

how the man came into possession of
so much money.

contemplates starting, are said to

THE MAN WITH THE CLOTHES: “NEXT*”
“BLUE SKY” BILL
WILL BE PUSHED
IN LEGISLATURE
Rep. C opley to Work for Law to
Protect Public From
Stock Swindlers
WILL MODEL MEASURE
ON KANSAS STATUTE
Chief Provision is That Banking
Commissioner Investigate
New Companies
A “blu® skr" Ml* will be introduced
in the coming session of the legisla
turt* by Hep. A. Ward Copley, of De
troit.
The “blue sky” bill has nothing to
do with uirsiiips. nor with smoke pre
vention, nor with regulation of tho
weather, nor the building of sky-scrap
ers. nor wkn ‘bluebirds for happi
ness.” It is intended for the gray
skies of winter as well as for the
< loar skies of summer. A "blue sky
hill is ne whlca attempts to prevent
the public from being swindled by*
graudulent stock companies. It put*
a check on the sale of stock of cor
poratlous whose assets an* as intang
ible as the clear heavens of summer
In other words, companies which have
nothing but blue sky to sell, but
which represent that they are about
to earu enormous wealth for their
stockholders.
Rep. Copley will model hfs bill af
ter the law passed by the Kansas leg
lnlature rs 1911. Kansas Is the only
state which has provided protection
for Its people from unscrupulous pro
moters and get-rich-qulck stock
swindlers, whose only object Is to
get hard cs.'h In exchange for beauti
fully-engraved stock certificates of no
value except as works of art.
The Kansas law provides:
The true financial condition of the
partnership or corporiUon whose
stock Is to he sold within the state
must be rtelstrred with the state
hanking (.ommlshloner. Such state
ment must be rendered every six
month**—at the close of business
June It) and Dec. 31, and at any other
time that the commissioner shall sec
fit to demand it
Every company must send in n
statement of the plan on w-hlch It
proposes tn transact business. The
• of financial condition must
be itemlxed in amount of property
and amount of liabilities.
The banking commissioner must in
vestigate the c rnipany. If the busi
ness is fur and promises a fair re
turn on the securities offered for sale,
the oommi«s!oiier must Issue a state
ment permitting the comneny to do
business in the state. This state
ment. the law provides. In no wise rec
ommends the company’s securities to
loves tors.
Ajtents of a oofrgsnv, appointed to
«*eU stock, must r* sister with the
hanking tommlsrioner.

out the luit.uosifv of the barf com

“I am trying to find out whether th-*
Kansas law nr*v.~nfs a tale of a small

announced they would talk for 24
hours straight, at the corner of
Market and Grant-ave., in the part
of this city. The talkers began
their speeches at 6 p. m., Thurs
day night.
SALEM, Ore, Dec. 13—Today is
"Bloody Friday" In Oregon. For five
murders, aa shocking as any In the
annals of clime, four men will be sent
writhing to eternity through two traps,
In a scaffold at the state penitentiary
before noon.
Colonel B. K. Lawson, warden and
superintendent, will release onespring,
and a guard another. The same con
trivance, operated by one of the
springs only, will release noth traps,
but both triggers will be pulled simul
taneously to ease the conscience of
the warden, and his assistant, neither
knowing which spring did the work.
Unless Governor West interferes to
save them, thus will pass out Mike
Morgan, slayer of John Yorke; Frank
Garrison, who killed Roy Perkins;
Noble Faulder, who, In a fit of frenzy
caused by drink, slew Gilbert,
and H. E. Roberts, convicted of the
double murder of Donald Stewart, and
George Hastings.
A week ago the scaffold was taker,
from Its place in the little room, just
north of the dining hall, and dragged
Into the old pillow and mattress fac
tory of the prison, where today's ex
ecution were scheduled to take place.
The pillows and mattresses, the work
of the convicts for distribution among
various state Institutions, were remov
ed elsewhere and the musty smelling
cheerless room was turned into an
ante-room to eternity.
The condemned men. In their upper
tier of cells on the north wing of the
prison, heard the gallows being drag
ged across the floor, and Jostled and
hammered Into place. Early today It
was announced that everything was
ready for the executions, and that ac

Until noon yesterday there were five
men. Instead of four occupying the
death cells of the prison. John W.
