No Alcohol-JustBload-Food Scott & Bowne, Bloomfield, N.J. 16-26 Burke, a member of the firm of Dege- ner & Burke, had been suspended for one year by the board of governors, charged with violating that section of the constitution prohibiting ‘“‘conduct or proceeding inconsistent with just and equitable principles of trade.” The specific offense charged against Burke occurred on Dec. 20. On that day, according to a statement issued by the exchange, he sold at.the bid price of 12, through another broker, 100 shares of Union Bag and Paper common stock as a basis for obtain- {ing 420 shares of the same issue in various odd lots from three dealers in odd lots of 12 1-8. It is customary for the dealers in odd lots, or lots under 100 shares, to execute market buying orders at an eighth above the last previous price for 100 shares. and selling orders at an eighth down. There had been no transactions in Union Bag and Paper for some time, and by selling a full jlot at 12 Burke established the price at which the odd-lot dealers had to ! fulfill their orders for that issue. The sale was not bona fide. in that it was intended merely to lower the price at which the seller was enabled to pick { up the odd lots. Burke was called be- fore the committee for trial on Wed- nesday, offered his defense, and was found guilty. It was said that a customer of Deg- ener & Burke placed orders for 420 | shares of Union Bag & Paper, in odd lots, which were turned over to the dealers for execution. He then 'or- dered 100 shares sold at 12. The mar- ket was 12 bid, 12 1-2 asked, and it was alleged by the odd-lot men that instead of offering his 100 shares at the hest price obtainable, Burke in- isted on getting exactly 12.

CH. 870. printed on the tape this sale auto- matically fixed the price of the odd- lot orders at an eighth higher, and the customer acquired 320 shares on the transaction. Brokers said the manipulation charged against Burke was not an ex- treme case. and he did not profit by it personally; but the governors held that he should have prevented a cus- tomer from abusing the privileges of the exchange. Burke's failure to of- fer the full lot of stock at the best price was held to be inexcusable. It is a cardinal rule of trading that a broker must endeavor to obtain the highest price possible for stock he is commissioned to sell and the lowest quotations for stock he is to buy. In arbitrarily demanding less than other brokers were willing to bid he in- vited the suspicion of the odd lot dealers. The case attracted unusual attention yestérday in view of the fact that the offense alleged occurred during the period now under investi- gation by the “leak” committee. —_— BEST LIVER AND BOWEL LAXATIVE - FOR FAMILY USE “Cascarets” regulate women, men and children without in- jur; Take when bilious, headachy, colds, bad breath, sour stomach.

CONSTITUTION OF MEXICO IS UNFAIR | Secretary Lansing Points Out Un- just Clauses to Carranza Mexico City, Jan, 26.—Secretary of State Lansing has sent to Carranza through Charles B. Parker, American charge d'affaires a in regara to provisions which it has been proposed to include in the new Mexican con- stitution. The communication to the article vesting the executive with power to expropriate property without judicial recourse, and also to the article providing that civil and commercial companies not own properties of a greater area than is necessary to accomplish the purpose for which they are formed, and placing the power to determine what area is necessary in the hands of the executive. The communication says that if the latter provision were made retroactive it might be confiscatory, as no provision is made for compen tion. Attention is called to the article providing that there be no exemption from taxation. If this were given a retroactive effect, says Secretary Lan- sing’s communication, it would impair contracts of many foreign corporations here, communication certain calls attention or bilious children a whole Cascaretnow operating under agreements pro- viding periods of exemption by thc Federal or state governments, General | Regarding Article 33, dealing with the expulsion of obnaxious foreigners, objection is made because the pro- posed article permits the executive to expel any one, without recourse to appeal, whose presence is deemed in- advisable by him. The letter states that this is not in accord with the usual practice of nations, that cause be clearly shown. Mr. Parker has alsa sent to General Carranza a statement from Secretary Lansing protesting against the posed article in the new constitution which stipulates that special conces- sions must be obtained by exploiters of oil lands, and allows companies now owning such lands one year in whick ta secure new concessions in order to protect the rights already acquired. The statement says this article ap- pro- TRY THIS FOR A COLD—IT'S FINE! “Pape’s Cold Compound” ends se- vere colds or grippe in few hours, You ean end grippe and break up a severe cold either in head, chest, body or limbs, by taking a dose of “Pape’s Cold Compound” every two hours until three doses are taken. Tt promptly opens clogged-up nos- trils and air passages in the head, stops nasty discharge of nose run- ning, relieves sick headache, dullness, feverishness, sorc throat, sneezing, soreness and stiffness. Don’t stay stuffed-up! Quit blow- parently means virtual nationalization of Mexican oil lands, and that it might prove confiscatory of foreign-owned property. Meaning of the Protest. ‘Washington, Jan. 26.—Future re- lations of the Mexican de facto gov- ernment with the United States may be materially affected by the manner in which the suggestions of Secre- tary Lansing regarding the proposed radical changes in the constitution are received by General Carranza and the members of the constituent congress inow in session at Queretaro. The protest delivered to the for- cighoffice in Mexico City today againd¥ incorporation in the new con- stitution. of provisions limiting prop- erty holdings of foreigners and pro- viding for other restrictions of the rights of foreigners was made after the receipt at the state department of numerous complaints from Amer- icans with property in Mexico. En- actment of such constitutional pro- visions may prove cause for diploma- tic entanglements, not only with the United States government, but with other governments whose nationals have invested in Mexico. Secretary Lansing’s protest against the adoption of a provision for con- fiscation of property was based on the proposed article in which it is stated: “Private property shall not be seized for public purposes without compensation. The need of utility of such seizure shall be determined by ing and snuffing. Base your throb- bing head—nothing else in the world . gives such prompt relief as “Pape’s Cold Compound,” which costs only 25 cents at any drug store. It acts with- | out assistance, tastes nice, and causes no inconveniende. - Be sure you get the genuine. the proper authority, but in the event of any disagreement as to terms the expropriation shall be carried out by the judicial authority.” Further basis for protest was found in a continuation of the article, read- ing “Civil and - commercial corpora- | tions may own urban property an manufacturing or industrial estay lishments either within or without i habited places; they may also ow and exploit mining properties an| those containing oil or other subsof substances, as well as railroad an pipe lines, but they may not now o later administer in their own -1ig! rural properties in an area greate than that absolutely necessary for th accomplishment of the purpose fo which they have been created. Thi executive shall in every case deter] mine this area.” Protest against another article wa: caused by the addition to the old con. stitutional provision that *‘there shal be no private or government monopo lies of any sort” of the words, *“no: exemption from taxation.” This ad dition was aimed at concessions, al. most all of which have in them pro vision for certain exemptions fo varying periods. 7 Objection to a change in the pro-| visions for the expulsion of foreigners| was caused by phraseology that ap- pears to permit of no opportunity for| the accused to show cause why ho should not be expelled. The pro- posed provision reads: “The executive shall have the ex- clusive right to expel from the re- public forthwith and without judiciall process any foreigner whose presence he may deem inadvisable. Any ac- tion taken by the executive under this authorization shall be without appeal. “No foreigner shall meddle in the political affairs of the country. Nor shall they acquire any real estate un- less they shall have previously de- clared to the department of foreign affairs their intention to waive their citizenship and the protection of their respective governments in all matters pertaining to the said property and to accept the jurisdiction of the laws and authorities of the republic in so far as the property is concerned.”
