era, tu. F. Buchanan, the organizer

firm of A. O. Brown & Co., In a re
markable Interview today, reveals the
methods of what he terms the "great
gambling den." He said:
"The 'wash sales' campaign that
drove my firm from the exchange is
duplicated dally by brokers of good
standiag. . I am glad the firm's fftllurf
tooK place, as I am now In a business
where It Is not a failure to be honest,
and where It Is not an irreparable dis

Tork stock exchange It would be Im
possible for the country to have a fi
nancial panic. Spread the alarm
from Maine to California and abolish
the ticker and the selling, of stock on
margin, and then much will be done
to correct the evil."
