‘BLUE SKY’LAW, IS SIGNIFICANT Commissioner Compart j British, Indiana Statutes Recent adoption by the British parliament of a “blue sky” law proves the adequacy of protective securities legislation in Indiana in the opinion of Securities Commissioner David Jennings. “For many years, corporations opposing securities laws, such as is operative in this State, have pointed to the British provision as ideal,” Jennings declared. “There was then what was known as the British Companies Act, under which it was Trierely necessary to file a schedule es assets and commence selling stock. “With the adoption *of protective legislation in nearly all of the United States, England has found it necessary to change this policy to keep the country from being flooded with worthless stock. The law recently adopted is much more stringent than the Indiana statute.” Latest securities legislation was passed in this State in 1925 and, as a model law, since has been adopted by eleven other States, Jennings asserted. $1,000,000 FOR UNDY Former Evansville Man Discloses Offer by Circus.

BEGGARS’ SYNDICATE ATTACKED IN ILLINOIS Officials Charge Panhandlers Travel About in Costly Cars. 8 eLgiN, Ilf* July B.—War has been declared by authorities here upon the procession of beggars seen upon the streets of the city and who, it is charged, arc members of a wellorganized syndicate, engaged in the “business” of imposing upon the sympathetic and unsuspecting public. It is asserted that these supplicants travel from city to city in costly automobiles, don their makeup after arrival and then proceed to “work the public,” by appealing for alms. It is maintained that such unfortunates should be given shelter at the public charitable institutions and not be permitted to operate upon the public streets. Careless drivers who smash fire plugs cost the city of Philadelphia $6,000 a month.
