THE CONCORD TIMES
BLtE SKY LAW WITH TEETH
Bill in Senate Will Provide Legislation
Long Needed.
Italeigh, Jan. 26.—1 f a bill recently
introduced by Senator Dunlap, of An
son, on behalf of the State Insurance
Department, is adopted by the General
1 Assembly, North Carolina will have a
blue sky-or securities law with toeth in
it. according to Insurance Commissioner
i Stacey W. Wade.
Air. AN ade said he and his assistants
wrote the bill on the basis of the best i
features of b.ue sky laws of other states.
It is very like the Georgia securities
law. he added.
■ Dm* of the outstanding features of the
proposed law for North Carolina is a
requirement that all securities tot be'
sc.d in this state, except for a few of
the "guilt edge” variety, be qualified and
listed on a register to be kept by the
‘ insurance commissioner and to be open
to public inspection. In most states,
said Mr. NY ade, it is necessary only to
file a notice of intention to sell stocks
and bonds.
Qualifications of securities and their
worthiness fyr enrollment is the insur
ance commission’s register will be large
ly a matter of discretion with the head
iof the department, under the proposed
! law. but the.re are certain requriments
outlined in the law that must be mea
sured up to. These requirements are
more stringent than they have ever been
in this state heretofore, declared Air
NVaed.
The issuer of the stock for which sale
application has been made would be re
quired to post a bond of not le.-s than
SI,OOO and not more than SIOO,OOO, in
the discretion of the insurance commis
sioner. Stock and bond salesmen would
have to give bonds of not less than $.">.000
nor more than $50,000 before being au
thorized to carry on their business. Here
to fore the minimum bond has been
SI,OOO. Salemen and dealers would al
so have to pay the usual license fee.
Under the present blue sky law, said
Air. NVade, some security agencies are
exempted from the license fee. Under
this new bill even banks and trust com
panies would have to secure licenses to
carry on business in stoeks and bonds
and other securities coming under juris
diction of the insurance commissioner.
Another new phase of Air. Wade's pro
posed law is a clause making it unlaw
ful for a newspaper to carry advertise
ments of securities not listed on the in
surance department's qualified register or
not exempted from this requirement.
Among the exempted securities arc
Jionds issued by the federal government
or any state and securities handled by
any exchange of a city of 500,000 popu
lation or over. Alortgage securities
would have to be qualified.
The insurance commission is author
ized. under the new bill, to issue warn
ings concernings the presence of b’ue sky
law violation in the state and is re
quired to advertise the names of stoeks
and bonds denied entry on the qualified
register.
Punishment by a fine or not more than
S2OO. a sentence of two years imprison
ment or both, is provided in the bill for
violation of any of its provisions should
it be enacted.
The measure is now in the hands of
the Senate insurance committee and is
expected to come up for consideration
in the near future.
POSTAL PAY AND RATE
BILL STILL IN SENATE
Bill Has Right of Way in l'p?x*r House
of Congress ami Is Being Fully Dis
cussed.
Washington, Jan. 26.—The postal pay
and rate increase bill continued to have
right of way in the Senate today with
its rate provisions still the object of at
tack by opposition forces.
Senator Swanson, Democrat, of Vir
ginia, had served notice that before final
action on the bill he would again at
tempt by motion to have all of the rate
increase provision stricken out which
would leave the measure in the same
form as when vetoed by President Cool
idge.
Duke University Thrills a Great
Crowd.
Durham, Jan. 25. —For 40 minutes
here lass night the Duke university
basketball quint kept 2.000 persons al
most breathless by a brilliant passing
and shooting game which kept the Uni
versity of North Carolina on the de
fensive and holding the narrow end of
the score. In the last 10 minutes of
play, however, it was the Duke quint
that was breathless and IT. N. C., true
to form, turned the tide and eased a 25
to 21 score over the Methodists.
It was a beautiful game, infinitely
more spectacular than those attending
had anticipated. Tlie ease in which the
Duke team p’ayed, and the skill
demonstrated by the Tar Heels made it
progress as if deliberately planned.
It was a great game, and 2,000 fans
unanimously say so.

Many conflicting theories confronted
officers seeking to establish the precise
manner of the fatal meeting, but it seems
that from them this was the best recon
struction of what occurred.
A single shot was fired from the vicin
ity of the European Hotel about j) :40
o'clock Saturday night. Young. Ed. For
bes and Homer Warner left a nearby
restaurant to investigate. ■ '
In the hotel cigar store they met Thom
as and when the smoke had cleared,
Young, shot through the heart, and For
bes were dead-while Thomas lay dying
on the fioor. ’ '
Despite Mrs. Young's statement that
witnesses would be on hand today, none
could be found yesterday. At least four
men were known to have been present, but
their names remained unrevenled. An
hour or two later the news reached Gov.
Small and he, immediately directed Ad
jutant General Carlos Black to spihl mil
itiamen to Herrin from Carboudale, a
few miles away.
Today found everything quiet with on
ly shattered * window panes and bullet
scarred walls as a public testimonial of
The night’s conflict.
Much of the bitterness and desire for
retaliation which had marked other
clashes in the county seemed lacking.
The investigation by the state marked
time pending the inquest.
BLAMES TIPPING HABIT
FOR LACK OF APPRENTICES
Speaker Says Boys Prefer Easy Way to
Annex Cash.
Atlantic City, Jan. 26. —The Luic oL
tips was 1 held by G. 11. Barett, of
Bloomington, 111., to be (Aie of the
causes for the alarming shortage of ap
prentices in the allied building trrfdos,
when he addressed the annual conven
tion of the Internatonal Cut Stone Con
tractors & Quarrymen’s Association at
the Hotel Trymore today. “The Ameri
can business man practices falke gene
rosity,” he said, “actually discouraging
young men from taking up a life of
labor. Such fellows ns bellboys, theatre
ushers and ‘red caps’ mase oouble and
many times what a working man earns,
and it is largely the typl of American
business man represented in this con
vention hall which contributes to these
incomes by his absolutely false idea of
generosity.
VWe have seen big. healthy men toss
a half dollar to a red cap for carrying
his bag a half-block—five minutes’ work
—and the same man would object
strenuously if a journeyman plumber
would charge him a dollar for au hour's
work. The youth is bound to analyze
these opportunities and, if concerned
solely with present-day dollars rather
than a life's vocation, is going to take
the easiest way in getting the coin,
rather than fortfy himself with a legiti
mate trade.” *
