~ INSULL DUMPING OF | STOCK IS REVEALED Broker Tells of ‘Dummy Ac- counts’ Used in Trading by Fallen Magnate Chicago,. Oct. 18—(#)—Testimohy that “dummy accounts” were uséd for trading in Insuil stocks, some of it on orders given by Samuel Insull him- self, came in the former utility mag- nate’s mail fraud trial Thursday from J. D. Scheinman, a broker. About December, 1929, Scheinman ‘testified, Insull told him to trade in the first stock issued by the company now under fire—the Corporation Se- curities Company of Chicago. “He told me to operate in the allot- ment units,” said Scheinman, re- ferring to the form in which the stock was distributed. “and said he'd like to put them up to $75 a share. He eaid a lot of people had paid that for | them.” “Within reason, I could use my own judgment on how much to buy and what price was necessary to get the stock up.” Two checks with which the prose- cution hopes to prove that Insull and his son, Samuel, Jr., unloaded stock of their own early in 1932, when their companies were toppling, were put in- to evidence through the broker. ‘They were made out by Scheinman’s firm to P. J. McEnroe, vice president of “Corp,” and totaled $40,000. The broker said he issued them at the re- quest of Fred H. Scheel, one of the defendants, who sent over checks of the Corporation Securities Company to cover them. Scheinman was ordered by Fred H. Scheel, one of the defendants, to trade in the common stock of Insull’s Cor- poration Securities Company, said Scheinman, but he recalled that ef- forts to keep the price of this stock up were not successful. Two other accounts used in the In- | ‘|Community Chest gull market operations were the “J. D: Scheinman special account,” the broker testified. and one in the name of “A. Garfield Stensland,” that of one of Scheinman’s employes. Holt Raps Frazier In Talk at Leeds Leeds, N. D., Oct. 18.—()—Attack- ing the record of U. S. Senator Lynn Frazier as being “fifty-fifty” for the people of North Dakota, Henry Holt, Democratic candidate for U. 5. sena- tor, addressed an audience of 500 here Wednesday night. Holt said “Frazier failed to vote for the flexible tariff passed by the last congress and had it not been for this| qq tariff the farmers along the Cana- dian border line now would not enjoy obtaining straw and hay shipped in duty-free. “This is an example of the ‘fifty- fifty’ support our present senior sen- ator is giving North Dakota in the New Deal. We promise a 100 per cent cooperation with the adminis- tration and you can be assured we will give our best efforts so that the Missouri river diversion project and a general water conservation program will be put across in this state.” Holt spoke at Bisbee and Cando Thursday. Oscar Nygaard appeared with Holt at the Leeds meeting. Pilots Prepare for Melbourne Air Race Mildenhall Airdrome, Eng., Oct. 18. —(#)—Restrictions on weight forced American and other foreign competi- tors in the England to Australia air race to make wholesale sacrifices ‘Thursday of casoline capacity and other equipment. Col. Roscoe Turner and Clyde Pang- born, a favored American team, made drastic reductions but after them ‘Turner said his machine was ready for the takeoff Saturday. His biggest ioss was the sealing up of a 90-gallon fuel tank. The American indicated a part of his overweight was caused by’ the fact that American gasoline is of a differ- ent specific gravity from English pe- | trol, therefore upsetting his calcula- |! tions somewhat. Other machines overweight included Col. James C. Fitzmaurice’s Irish Swoop. Coal Code Prices Remain in Effect Eliminating any doubt as to the present status of tlie bituminous coal code of fair competition, E. M. Hen- dricks, secretary of the Dakotas Coal Code association, said Thursday that provisions of the coal code are in full force and effect. Hendricks is in receipt of a state- ment from the national industrial re- covery board which says, “If at any time it should develop that changes should be considered, none will be made by the national recovery ad- ministration until the industry has been consulted.” Fair minimum prices have been published in the Dakota district and poten full force and effect, Hendricks stat .

The movement has taken such a firm hold in the United States thet today there are over 1,000,000 boys enrolled. | Bismarck has contributed its sup- |port to this national training pro- ‘gram. The city now has over two hundred boys registered and carrying out scouting activities unquestionably one of the largest enrollments in the nation for a city of this size.

In | the last year the scouts worked under ‘the leadership of the Lions club in ‘making a careful survey of the city in Preparation for the city-wide clean-up campaign. At the completion of the drive they again surveyed the city and made a report to the Chamber of , Commerce on the results of the cam- | paign. | Last winter the scouts launched a | concentrated drive for clothing.

Given Leadership Training Scoutmasters in the city troops put jforth every effort to use their own | boys in some leadership capacity with- in the troops. This program provides ;@n opportunity for the boys to de- volop, within themselves, qualities of leadership. During the last summer the local camping committee sent trained boys to camps throughout this aera to act as leaders. Boy Scout work encompasses a va- jrlety of activities of natural interest jto boys. In the last year 312 advance- ments were made by local scouts. Leadership training courses also are Provided for scout executives and troop leaders.

NAVAL CONFERENCE COMPROMISE SEEN Japs May Accept Limitations Plan If Granted Two Concessions London, Oct. 18.—(#)—The belief was growing in American quarters Thursday that Japan may accept naval limitation plan somewhat sim. {lar to present ratios if she gets two concessions. These are tonnage quality in “prin- ciple” and replacement of the tesm “ratio” by one less offensive to her indicating relative strength. Enthusiasm over this possibility, however, was overshadowed by the Problem of reconciling the vast dif- ferences between the basic programs of the two countries. Americans held hope a suitable compromise might be effected during the tri-power naval conversations to open next week preliminary to the 1935 conference. Admiral Isoroku Yumamoto, Jap-| anese delegate, since his arrival) Tuesday has highly pleased both American and British quarters by his evident desire to reach an agreement. England is keeping pretty much iu the background while the Jap- anese and Americans seek to clarify their differences. As hosts, the British have adopted the role of “umpire.” Northan H. Davis, American dele- gate, conferred privately Thursday with Hugh 8. Wilson, U. 8. minister to Switzerland, on European disarm- ament, @ question he is keeping strictly separate from naval affairs.

Almost half of the companies have denied they owe the money. Some have challenged a penalty provision, under which the taxes are assessed. They say it is an executive usurpa- tion of power. The move to plug what treasury experts regard as tax loopholes be- came known last night. A tax defi- ciency of $17,199,797 was assessed against Fisher & Co.. of Detroit.
