J RAILROAD AND MAN AGER
FINED $5,000 EACH FOR
FRAUDULENT STOCK SALES
NEW YORK.—By the Alaska An
thracite Railroad Company, Charles
B. Davis, general manager, entered
plea of guilty for both on indictments
returned recently charging him with
selling securities at less than the mar
ket price authorized by the Interstate
' Commerce Commission.
The action is hailed in United
- States Attorney Buckner’s office as
murking a new era in safeguarding
Investors in railroad securities.” A
1 comparatively new section of the In
terstate Commerce Act is designed to
protect the ultimate buyers from
knockdown agreements oetween finan-i
1 ciers and and corporation executives.
The regulation provides that securi-j
. li, - sold by interstate carriers shall be 1
* originally disposed of at not less than
1 the zero prices based upon their ex- i
pressed par value.
In this case the bonds of the Alaska i
Anthracite Railroad, whose holdings
in Alaska were sold at auction in Cor
* dova recently, were authorized to be i
sold on a basis of 90 per cent, but
were knocked down at a 77 1-2 per!
* cent basis.

for additional units as they are needed
and for gardens in which to grow all

Those oldtimers who have expended
i their energies in striving to develop
Alaska and who find themselves, in
j their declining years, without finances
and enfeebled by years of toil and pri
vation are entitled to the best the
Territory can give them in the way of
a home, and it should be located where
climat e conditions are most favorable,
where it is accessible, and where there
are opportunities for recreation. Art "
chorage possesses all of these advan
tages—it is, in fact, the ideal location.
But it will require action on the part,
of the whole community to secure leg
islative approval of the plan wnich
has been suggested by the Pioneers,
and the movement must be launched!
without loss of time if results are to
be obtained during the coming session
of the legislature.
