Washington, Jan. 18. Congratula
tions continued to pour Into the White
House today over the birth yesterday
afternoon of a son to Mrs. Francis
Bowes Sayre, ' President Wilson's sec
ond daughter. Both mother and child
were said to be doing well.
President Wilson's face " was
wreathed In smiles when he entered
the executive offices today. More than
a hundred , messages of congratula
tlon were received during. the morn
ing, and the president's -smile widened
as he read 'them. He made no effort
to conceal his joy over the child being
a boy. It was his first grandchild.
The president had no boys of his own.
( Francis B. Sayre, the child's father,
who Is first assistant to President
Garfield of Williams college, was not
at the White House when the child
was born. He left Williarnstown,
Mass., soon after the receipt of a tele
gram, announcing his boy's birth, and
was expected to reach Washington be'
fore noon.
Speculation was rife today concern
ing the. name to be given the baby, but
it was expected the child would ' be
called either- Woodrow or Wilson. The
christening will be held at the White
House before the Sayres return to
Williarnstown.
Mr. and Mrs, Sayre were married at
the White House November 25, 1913
After a honeymoon la Eurppe they
went to Williarnstown to make their
home. Mrs. Sayre has been visiting at
the White House since Christmas.
Ten other children six girls and
four boys have been born In the
White House, most of them being the
grandsons or granddaughters of pres
idents, i
The baby was born in the northeast
corner of; a room on the second floor
of the White House,' facing Pennsyl
vanla avenue. The Infant was brought
Into the world without "the use of any
of the modern .methods, such as the
"twilight i sleep." He Is described as
having light hair and blue eyes.
President Wilson was accorded the
privilege this morning of fondling his
grandson lor a few moments.

suggestions were adopted, he said, he
does not know.
Smith May Start Something;.
President Wilson's, next appearance
before congress is likely to be char
acterized by greater atmospheric
tenseness than has heretofore been the
case. Certain representatives, notably
Samuel W. Smith of Michigan, have
raised the question of the right of
members to ask the president ques
tions while he is on the floor. Speaker
Clark has informed them that they
have a perfect right, but has suggested
that It would be "wretched taste."'
It is understood the notion still
lingers In, Representative Smith's mind.

Iw Great Benefit,
"The blue sky law, with
proper, amendments will be
of great benefit to the state
and, in fact, already has been,"
asserts a letter which Is being
sent to every member of the
Multnomah delegation today by
E. C Giltner, secretary of- the
Chamber of Commerce. ' ThC
leglslative committee of I th&I
-Chamber of Commerce, Joseph
N. Teal chairman,; reviewed the
amendments which have been
proposed from within the cor
poration department and ap
proved them. The trustees of
the Chamber of Commerce
formally approved the amend
ments as proposed and have
taken decided stand against
any other changes In the. law,'
especially changes that would
; lessen its efficiency.
-
"Don't tamper with Oregon's blue
sky law."
The legislature's attention Is direct
ed to this advice by Judge Charles H.
Carey, a leader of the Oregon bar, and.
oy jonn A, Keating, j president of the
Lumbermens Trust company.
They spoke this morning in behalf
of the "little folks," who, before thers
was a blue sky law, frequently lost all
tney naa in the world through being
lured," without protection or warniner.
to-sink the few dollars they possessed
into "get rich quick" schemes held out
as baltj by crooks and defrauders. Mil
lions of dollars were stolen from
small investors in Oregon before the
advent of the blue sky law. .
They spoke, too. In the name of
Oregon's legitimate business, which,
under the blue sky law, has had pro
tection agatn.xt snide real estate
schemes, fake stock promotions and
fraudulent enterprises.
Slight Changes Heeded.
"The act is very important and It
should not be tampered with," said
Judge Carey.
"Some slight changes should be
made, to correct slight defects, which
have been found through the operation
of the law; but in the main the act Is
calculated to protect people from
fraudulent stock selling enterprises,
"It can do no harm to legitimate
organizations. Any corporation Jin
Oregon operating .on an honest basis
should not object to the regulation
imposed under this law. Tho only
criticism to be made In their behalf
is that some of the minor provisions
need amending.
"The administration of the corpora
tion department under Mr. Watson has
not only been efficient, but .has taken
Into consideration convenience in the
transacting of business, In sucti a way
as to greatly assist the floating of new
enterprises. Ke has systematized the
work of the office and has arranged
its affairs so that prompt attention is
given the investigation of stock aud
bond issues and no serious delays have
been experienced as was feared by
some prior to the enactment of the
law.
Oregon laagnet fox Promoters.
"A western state like Oregon natur
ally attracts a great many promoters
and gamblers, who put forwatd
schemes for the purpose of 'getting
rich qujck,' and unless a lawprovidea
seme check upon these schemes a good
many Inexpert and unwary people are
taken advantage of. This is evidenced
by the numerous convictions in the
United States court in fraud cases."
."It is natural that dealers in invest
ment securities, as we are, should
have felt some regret at being placed
under state supervision," said Mr.
Keating-. -' "This regret, however, we
have given up, and we are satisfied
that legislation on the order gf the
blue sky law is not only very desir
able, but very necessary. As large
dealers in investment securities of a
legitimate character, we are interest
ed in having tho savings ,ot -the state
conserved for safe' Investment.
"We are of the opinion that rational
administration of this law protects
the innocent investors of this state
from a large vaQ of the heavy losses
such as they have had in former years
by the purchase of "wildcat" securi
ties, and that thereby the total wealth
of the state is increased. We believe
that this regulation i lust as im
portant as supervision of banks, and
for that reason we cheerfully submit.
"The problem is to protect the in
vestor, but Without such ill-advised
restrictions as' to interfere with the
free flow of capital into municipal and
corporate investments. Heavy invest
ments of new- capital are vital to the
prosperity of this state, and will be
for many years to come, and this cap
ital will have to come largely through
bond Issues. , In our Judgment. Mr.
Watson, the present blue sky commis
sioner, has given the state a very con
scientious and intelligent! administra
tion. I should consider it a great mis
fortune to have the state lose the
benefit of his service. The blue sky
commissioner should be permanent in
his office just as the banking- com
missioner should, and should be equal
ly undisturbed by political matters.
"The first blue sky law was, neces
sarily, a more or less crude effort, but
In the right direction. The new law
which Mr. Watson has - prepared is a
rational measure, and better fitted to
the problem. I
As an officer of our own "company,
and later as a member of the commit
tee on legislation of the Investment
Bankers' ,' Association of r America, I
have had occasion to go over this bill,
and to counsel with the general at
torneys pf the Investment Bankers'
association in New York as to some of
the legal features "involved. This bill
Is a second step in the process of evo
lution of blue sky legislation. - just as
the various acts passed in the history
of the national banking law "have been
similar steps.-; It is a carefully pre
pared and wise measure, which 1 1 hope
will be passed by the legislature. s '
-I trust the sober public opinion of
this state will support the blue , sky
legislation, and that the governor will
leave Mr. Watson undisturbed in Ij
position.' , 4 - ... , z ; ' v
