With Subpoena for Wm.

PORTALS OF 26 BROADWAY

ProcesK-Servers Fail to Gain Av

Proof Address
WASHINGTON, Dec IS.—How
John D. Arcbbold, bou of Btandarn
Oil and elusive quarry for veara of
aubpena and process-servers, la him
self essaying the role of amateur sub
pena server, was the Interesting story
which leaked out here today, accord
ing to reports. Spice is added to the
spectacle In that Archbold la the ex
officio agent of the money trust in
vestigating committee, and his pros
pective “victim" Is William Rockefel
ler, his own partner In Standrd Oil.
House officials found they couldn’t
get u«ar Rockefeller with the subpena.
Tor weeks, 20 Broadway—the home of
Standard Oil-—has been stormed by
house process-servers. Failure, the
almost Invariable result of all such
previous effort*, marked their efforts.
The sergeant-at-afms returned from
New York and reported to Chairman
PuJo and Attorney Untermyer, of the
probing committee, that Rockefeller
was “Inaccessible.’* He said he had
Tailed to enter the portals of 26 Broad
way, and had been told that a Rocke
tt Her was seriously ill, and “could see
no one.”
Lacking authority forcibly to servo
the subpena, the sergeant-at-arms
made another visit to New York, re
turning yesterday. Today it was said
that John D. Archbold had agreed to
assist in serving the subpena upon
Rockefeller, to the extent, at least, of
conferring with Rockefeller, advising
him of the Intentions of the money
trust committee and suggesting that
h« either testify or glv# a deposition
to the houae committee.
Today the money trust probers were
waiting for results from Archbold. It
w<s also stated that Archbold himself
might be subpened.
Still another Standard Oil head, who
la reported to be in Montana, la said
to be desired by the committee.
Rockefeller’s testimony is wfnted
on two points—his alleged corner df
the copper market, in 1907, to boost
prices of copper stocks, and in con
naction with his great financial in
terests.
Examination of F. K. Sturgis, for
mer president, and now a governor
of the New York stock exchange, was
resumed today. Attorney Untermyer
proposed today to dig deeper into the
“morals” and manipulation of Wall-si.
through Sturgla laying bare the prac
tice* and inside operations of both in
vestors and speculators. Commute*
men still snickered today over Sturgis'
distinction. In testimony yesterrigy

BUCKET SHOP IS PURE
GAMBLING INSTITUTION
iC'JßtlaneS fr«M I'M* o**l
■took exchange hwtse, buys stock or
wheat, or pork, or cotton, and the
article he buya. or a warehouse Fe
cuipt representing It, is actually
placed to his credit. He buys It In
the expectation that be will be able
to sell it at a profit or he borrows
It and sells It “short” in the hope
that he may be able to buy it in agalu
ut a cheaper price before be has to
deliver It
la a bucket snop, the customer
merely gamble# on the market. He
bet* age mat the fluctuations, putting
up S2O, the usual bucket shop margin
ou 10 shares, to hark his Judgment on
the market turns, betting that it will
go up or dbwn as be may give his or
der to "buy” or “aell," and betting
further that he will give the order
to close the deal before tt has gone
two polut* in the opposite dlrectlou
snd exhausted his “margin."
There .\rc two psychological facls
that the bucket shop broker can count
on. One ia that a trader will always
take a biggvr loss If the market goes
against him than the profit he will
wait for If the rnaiket goes with him.
11* will follow hla trade down, put
ting up more and more margin until
his money ia gone, but he will not let
a profit run in the same manner. He
is too eager to take what he can get.
The bucket shop* uaually make their
big money on a falling market, be
cause there are generally more “buy”
orders than “sel 1 ” order*. If the
bucket shop happens to be caught ou
with a lot of "buying” orders on a
rapidly rising insrket, the usual prac
tice with the bucket shop broker la
to close the doors and quietly steal
away with all the money thgt hap
pens to be in the houae. And the
customers, jubilant over their paper
r-rofits which have been piling up as
the market roae. come down next
morning sad find fbe door locked, and
“margins’’ ax well as profits flown.
The customeVs of the bucket shop
make an Interesting study. Many of
them are old moo who have spent
their lives and fortunes trying to beat
the game. Perhaps they started In
the legitimate houses and were
cleaned out when a slump came, tt
la only a matter of time when the
bucket shop cleans them out. too.
Then titers; are clerks who hear of
fortunes being made on market turns
and go to the bucket shop with a hun
dred dollars in the idea of making
their fortune in the same manner
where they would not think of going
to n race track with a similar pur
pose. The money thnt should go to
the support of families, goes Into
the bucket shops instead. And they
go broke, too. but they seldom realise
that they are gambling. There Is also
an occasional business man who has
an idea on the market that be doea
not want id play very heavily. He
goee into tho bucket ihop Just ha he
would go into-a poker game with bis
eyes fully open. He can afford to
lose what he puts in. and he ia the
only one who hat half a chance of
beating the gpme.
The one excuse offered by the buck
et shop men is that the so-called legiti
mate houses are Juat as bad.
“If.bucket shops are against the
law, they ought to raid every New
York exchange house,” said one old
customer of the raided Wglder con
cern, wbo came up to see how the
market was going nnd found the door
cioeed by the police.

breaks against them. The thing that
la needed to put a atop to the evil
of specnlatioiv either In the bucket

rrudlcaticm of the spirit of gambiiug,
of getting something for nothing
which seems to be the besetting tin of
the American people.
