ers 4nd swindlers Wwho laws exist, are flourishing in New York as never before, according to Edwin P, Kiiroe, assistant district at- torney in charge of the investigation of « frauds, Mr. charges that e o operators are composed o men, ex-conyitts, racetrack touts, gamblers and men of the baser sort” Wwho, as soon as their crooked work is made public, move to another part ‘{of the metropolis and resume busi- ness under another name. i “It is remarkable,” says he, “that in this state, which is the financial cen- tre of the world, the investing public should be left without protection and Age law of caveat emp- here.” Attacking the majority report of | Governor Smith’s Blue Sky Law com- mission as “a prayer to allow the predatory Wall- Street interests to continue- their pillage without let or hindrance,” Mr. Kilroe, in a report to District Attorney Swann, opposes the recommendation to turn the prosecu- tion *of crooked Wall Street corcerns over to four deputies and the attorney general of the state. ‘The recommendation,” He “that nothing be done by the present legislature except the appointment of a commission to redraft the penal law is inexpedient and would accomplish no good result. All of the facts a commission so apppinted could pos- sibly obtain are\noW in the posses- sion of the district attorney of New York as the regult of some 4,000 or 5.- 000 complaints investigated in his of- fice.” The methods employed by _stock | swindlers. to fleece the unwary are week Mr. Kilroe. “In the old ch w e said. “‘sucker lists' were prepared and used by these unscrupu- _|lows prometers. On these lists were the names of those known to be sus ceptible to the illusionary offers made by salesmén of * fworthless securities. . | This list has now been cast aside and 14 Beatty St., New Britain, says, SOUTH WILLINGTON Holman-Hail received last #ully mounted trout most of the| “confid New York, Jjan. 14—Stock promot-[today every good citizen who happens bave been|to be inexperienced in the world of driven from 38 states where ‘blue sky” | finance is a possible victim, provided he has a small bank aceount or gov- ernment bonds. “Schools are established This office is stream the widow's mite, er's wage.

The discovery of Uranus gave rise to the question as to whether there might not be planets still further out. There was little to be done, for the search for asteroids would reveal it in time. Uranus. however, was found to deviate from the path laid down for it by the exacting law of gravita- tien. This made it evident that the at- traction of some unseen planet was vesponsible for the deviation. The amount and direction of the de- viation of Uranus made it possible aft- er much- difficult mathematical com- putation, to state in what direction the body must be and other things about it. Such a computation was made, and the new planct Neptune to make the smooth-tongued salesman more’ ‘Smooth’ and books of instruction are prepared so.that no. one even - with small savings shall escape their lure. flooded with complaints o fthe shorn and plucked who daily from Wall street to the Crim- inal Courts building.

The devinlions are so slight that the predicted direction can scarcely be expected {o be very precise. Sev- eral searches have been made for the planet previpusiy, but they have not proved successful. This, however, is mot a bit sur- prising, for the distance of the plan- et and the size assigned to it are such that to discover it would require the use of our very best telescopes, and even they may prove too small. The search must be made by photography. Even though the pianet impressed it- self on the plate distinctly, the very large number of faint stars which ex- ist and the slow motion of the planet make its detection very difficull. The new- planet is expected to be nearly twicé as far away as Neptune and |somewhere between the carth and Neptune in size. It is found that the new 100-inch refiecting telescope of the Mount Wil- son Solar observatory, the largest and owerful ‘telescope in the world, is giving resuli- which are all that couid be hdped for o On the morning of January 17, at 837, the moon will pass very close to the planet Venus.
