Jacob at Friday night's session of the legislative committee appointed 10 enquire into sales of shares and failures of compantes in the province.

Members of the committee were I. B. Griffiths, government member for Russell: D. L. Campbell, Lakeside: William Brown, Dufferin; and Major F.

G. Taylor, Portage la Prairie. Reference was made by Mr. Jacob to two companies. Both had been refused FL certificate by the provincial commissioner, and had secured a Dominion charter.

They were selling shares in Manitoba today. One of them, capitalized at $1,500,000, had recently been unable to meet a bank indebtedness of $90 till it had sold I shares to cover the amout. The other, with A. capitalization of $1,000,000, had the bailiff in for arrears of rent. Carries Wide Authority In answer to a question, Mr.

Jacob explained that a Dominion charter carried with it authority to sell stock throughout the Dominion. Again and again companies refused certificates in Manitoba secured Dominion and came and flaunted the office of the commission. The Provincial government had protested to the l'ederal authorities many times regarding the matter, but nothing had been done, Mr. Jacob said. A suggation In connection with this difficulty was to the effect that the province license every person selling stock within its bounds and refuse to license companies with a Dominion charter unless they produce the data required by the commissioner in connection with the issuing of a certificate.

"A strong protest should go from this committee to the Dominion gOVernment regarding this the comment of D. L. Campbell. Another suggestion was that of the passing of Dominion legislation uniform with that of the provinces regarding sales of shares. Assets Not Verified.

committee. Bond Dealers' Suggestion Giving evidence on the Hearst Music Publishing company, which is one of the companies being Investigated by the committee, Mr. Jacob outlined the procedure followed in regard 'to the granting of its tion to sell shares in the province. The documents showed, said Mr. Jacob, that the company was incorporated July 5, 1921.

On November 28, 1922 application was made to P. A. MacDonald, then Utilities commissioner, for a certificate to sell stock in the province. The application included a statement duly signed by a firm of local chartered accountants to the effect that the company had $197,262 in a United States bank. The name of the bank WAS not divulged.

Mr. Mac Donald refused the application The documents showed, said Mr. Jacob, that his refusal was that the alleged assets of $197.562 were not verified. He further was astounded at the large profits claimed for the com pany. An appeal was issued against the decision of Mr.

Macdonald, and under the Sale of Shares Act a board was appointed December 19. 1922, to hear the appeal. The board convened February, 1923, and on February 16 gave its approval to the application. reversing the decision of Mr. MacDonald.

The certificat was revoked November 15, 1933, said Mr. Jacob. Of the stock sold in Manitoba 66 per cent. was sold before the certificate of the commissioner was I secured, he said. Dividends were not paid in cash, but in further stock.

The total stock sold was $600,800, of which $250,000 sold under the provincial charter and the balance under the Dominion charter. The documents in connection with the company will be examined intensively at further sittings of the Suggestion that the Manitoba Sale of Shares Act be replaced by act drawn up by E. G. Long, K.C., of Toronto, was made by representatives of the Bond Association at the afternoon session of the com mittee. A.

H. Williamson, who with C. H. Rankin. and Archie Brown, com prised the deputation.

outlined draft of the bill which bond dealers aim to have adopted by all provinces of the Dominion, and by the Federal government so that legislation regarding sales of shares throughout the Dominion will be unIform. The bill provides for the registration and licensing of bond dealers and salesmen. Before Issuing license the commissioner may require the applicant to furnish a bond. In case of suspected breach of the act, the attorney -general would have power to suspend the license of the suspected dealer or salesman pending the hearing of the case. The act would exempt certain shares and bonds of a recognized high order from the requirement of certificate for their sale.

Bonds so exempted would include trustee Investments, government securities, securities listed on the Toronto, Montreal. Winnipeg and New York stock exchanges, and securities ge- cured by mortgage on ships. Powers for Investigation The exemption of shares from the necessity of A certificate prior to sale is based on the earnings by the company and interest paid over period of years graded according to the character of the shares issued. A frauduient act for the purpose of the bill is defined as a fictitious purchase or sale; a promise not made in good faith; payment of too high a commission endangering the securities, and conduct calculated to deceive the public as to the nature of the security, Under the act the provincial secretary and the attorney -general would be given wide powers for investigation tenders. and A prompt penalty action of $1,000 against is ofpro- vided for the first offence months' Imprisonment, and of $2,000 or one year for the second offence.

The present provincial act was criticized by Mr. Williamson as tending to slow up the sale of the best securities owing to the time involved in securing the required certificate for sale. Ueunily such securities bad been sold elsewhere. he said, before the certificate was secured in Manii toba. The set proposed would lieve this situation.

Most of the failure in Manitoba had been connected with the male of common stock of new concerns, he pointed out. The proposed net would tighten things up in this conI nection.

Definite qualifications were required in the case of a lawyer and a doctor, why not in the case of one who sold bonds? he asked? It looked to him 88 if some such restriction of the bond-selling field might be desirable.

This suggestion did not commend itself to the bond dealers present. A number of suggestions regard- ing the draft bill will be submitted to Mr. Long by the Bond Dealers' Association, and a further conference will be held with their representatives at a future date. M. Jacob, secretary of the Public Utilities Commission, gave evidence regarding departmental procedure under the Sale of Shares Act.

The clauses of the act were presented in detail by Mr. Jacob and their merits and demerits explained. BELGIAN PRESS AROUSED OVER U.S. DEBT ACTIVITY DARE winning ASPIRE, first as roadster as a roadster in the harness Winnipeg. A.

The writer stated that it was likely the ox would have died in any case.

want to inform your readers that know--I will not say hundreds but will be sate to state dozens of oxen being killed by mosquitoes in the year 1867, known among the old freighters as the year of the mosquitoes. Starting from St. Cloud, Minesota, with many others with oxen and carts, over the Height of Land to the Otter Trail, we had no trouble with mosquitoes (the country being hilly ADdl BIASS short) until we camped on the low-lying banks of the Red River, few miles north of Fort Abercrombie. It was on the 4th of July (they were celebrating at the Fort), the night was calm and cloudy and the grass WaS long. We hadn't time to unhitch and hobble our cattle when the mosquitoes rOse in clouds, in myriads, the like of which was never known before or since and savagely and hungrily attacked nian and beast.

The cattle tried to get let running among the carta, and 19 order to prevent them stepping through our tents, we had to draw the carts around them. The poor brutes never got a second of rest so that they could feed, or rest, and we in our tents were very little better off, we could not keep them out. Smudges were of no use. This condition of things kept up night after night and with very little relief. In the daytime, many of the oxen got 80 enfeebled, working all day and not resting at night, that numbers of them succumbed and eventually died, killed by mosquitoes.

The human beings fared very little better, as I said before. Tents couldn't keep them out. The road WAN studded with dead oxen and we were followed on the trail by the turkey buzzard. It is strange that have never seen this bird north of the boundary line. If there are any living who were on the road that year, they will corroborate what state.

There were some greenhorns in our party who actually cried with pain. It in well known that the sting of the mosquito has more poisonous effect on persona fresh from the Old Land than they have on people who have lited some years in the country. This sane year, in the month of August, we were visited by AWARDIN of grASShoppers, which, however, arrived too late to do much damage to the crops. They laid their eggs, however, and the following year, 1868, there was not a buchel of grain in the Red River settlement, nor any garden stuff, The only thing that survived was rhubarb, They ate the leaves, but the stalks remained. COLIN INKSTER AROUND THE ART GALLERY Not since December, 1912, when Mayor Waugh received the silver key in token of the handing over of the Art Galiery to the city, has there been such crowds such sustained interest as the pagentry of British painting in a run of seven weeks has called forth.

Not only have the citizens enjoyed It but the value of an art gallery in relation to visitors from other citles has been clearly demonstrated. The Touriet Association and the Hudson's Bay Company's Museum section both actively interested themselves in directing tourists to the Gallery.

CROP NEEDS RAIN to The LETHBRIDGE. July The general condition of crops in Southern Alberta is pronounced by experts to be better than at this time last year. In the southeast the crops are suffering and production has already been cut down. The farmers from Taber east, from Lomond east and from Stirling east on the Lethbridge-Foremost line are extremely anxious, as only a soaking rain will avert crop failure. Other sections of the south Are uniformly good, but rain is needed out the grain and insure A normal per acre yield.

The Aldersyde and Macleod lines are good, but the Cardston and Coutts lines need rain. West of Lomond crops are excellent; east they are burning. Supt. W. H.

ST. BONIFACE IS ANXIOUS ABOUT ST. CAR SERVICE WINS Te consider the question of running street over the new Prevencher Bridge, there will. be an early conference of the civic transportation sub- with the joint provencher bridge committee, provided a recommendation made the civic improvements committee.

passes the city council Monday. Meeting In special session, the civic improvements committee heard a delegation from St. Boniface sisting of Aldermen McFadyen, Hebert and McLean: Trafford Taylor, city solicitor and Ernest Gagnon, city clerk, with regard to the closing of the Norwood bridge. Alderman McFadyen, introducing the delegation, said the closing of the bridge was a matter of considerable concern to St. Boniface.

The street railway had refused to operate care over the bridge, unless all other vehicular traffic were barred from it, The bridge had, originally been designed 1 for much lighter traffic than that which had in recent years been using it. They desired frankly to confer with Winnipeg over the sitvation. St. Boniface had a perfectly safe bridge in Provencher bridge, said Alderman McFadyen and cars could doubtless be run over it it Winnipeg would not oppose such a proposal. The bridge had double tracks.

Notre Dame east would be better for the approach than Water because of the freight loading on the latter. Alderman Dan McLean, Chairman, said that Water could in no case be double -tracked. It might be found best to runt one track on Water st. and another on Notre Dame east, Alderman Shore said that if St. Boniface had not insisted upon subway on Water street cars would probably now be operating over Provencher bridge.

Fear was expressed by Alderman Dan McLean that the order of the railway commission allocating the cost of a subway might be prejudiced if cars were run indefinitely on level crossing over the transfer railway. Some moral obligation to meet St Boniface was recognized by man Blumberg, who pointed out that a large number of Winnipeg patients went to the St. Boniface hospital. Alderman Boyd, convener of the transportation sub-committee, suggested a bus service. Alderman McFadyen said a bus service, only would be a not be temporary satisfactory.

expedient Is in any event. The alderman said St. Boniface would be very glad to have a report from the Winnipeg city engineer on the Norwood bridge, which had been condemned by the late J. G. Legrand, of the C.N.R.

Alderman Dan McLean said on a former occasion Winnipeg had refused a request to have its city engineer examine the bridge and he did not think that decision would be changed now.
