According to information to go be- fore the inquisitors, various misrepre- sentations as to oil lands in Potta- watomie County, Okla, and Bee County, Tex., were made by the pro- moters. In general, it is said, the scheme involved the sale of interests in royalties, and the subsequent pay- ment of some “dividends” as a bait to encourage heavier investment. A downtown headquarters here is said to have been a major-base of opera- tions.
