THE FUNERAL HOME and Parlors 15 Walnut Street | TOM LAWSON GIVES ' UP T0 AUTHORITIES “Held by Boston Pollce in Mining Stock Deal Boston, Mare Attorney-General mote and brokers who have exploiting silver stocks led to the i rest of Thomas W. Lawson today. He surrendered himself at police head- quarters to answer to a warrant charging him with violating, on four counts, a state law regarding the fil- ing of information regarding stocic issues. Four other operators and brokers were arrested yesterday, in- cluding L. C, Van Riper, of New York, former secretary to Lawson. Lawson and Van Riper, in recent months, have been active in the pro- motion of silver stocks which, in the Lawson advertising, was featured as “silvers, the greatest gamble of the age.”” Kach announced he was devei- oping certain individual silver mine properties as units ot general holding companies. In the campaigns the prices of in dividual stocks advanced from a fe\v cents to $8 and $9, with subsequent reversals and fluctuations. After news of the arrests yesterday these prices Allen ; Gaudian will be i services and burial 5,—The crusade of | against pro- | heen | tumbled further. Nearly all of the silver stocks which are named in the !chargos against Lawson, Van Riper and the other men now are selling for .so many cents a share. It was the fact that securities were offered so cheaply, the attorney-gen- eral said in a statement issued yester- day, that attracted to them a class of persons without investing experience who sacrificed Liberty Bonds and sav- | ings accounts to obtain funds for stock purehases in hopes of early riches. The attorney-general said the arrests for illégal advertising of stock issues on which no previous informa- tion had been filed at the state house eover only one phase of a situation which he now is investizating. After conferences between the af- torney-general and -‘the governing board of the Boston curb exchange, on which some of the stocks involved in the advertising campaign were listed, it was announced that new rules, intended to safeguard the pub- lic, will be adopted. One of thesce rules provides for suspension of trad- ing in stocks for which certificates are not delivered within a reasonable period. Complaints to the attorney- general included several that large losses had been suffered by persons who, having bought’ stocks at high prices, were unable to sell them until they had reached low levels, because certificates for their purchases had not been en to them. Another of the new rules requires a report from a mining engineer on 'new mining securities. Tawson. whose stock operations have attracted national attention in the past quarter of a century, called at police headquarters this morning to submit to arrest, gave his occupation as farmer and author, and walked through a noisy crowd to the court house, where he was arraigned and held for a hearing on April 6.
