JOHN HULL INVESTIGATES
ULOWS AT IIUOKETSHOPS
Our RHtlsh Cousins Likely to Follow
Evnmplo of United States in Driv
ing Out Those Places of Fraud.. .
Washington, D. C, Jrnne 9.
Great Britain, nt last awakened to
a realization of what tho buckot
ebop swindle docs to ltd unsuspect
ing public, Is Investigating what has
ben dono in tho United States to
put these places out of business.
What mnkoa this fact moro signif
icant is tho fact that "bucket-shops"
had their origin in Englnnd.
It haB token many years of loss
and coagltatlon for England to
come to the- decision to knock out
tho counterfeits of tho legitimate ex
changes, thoso 8pcculatlon-Bhops
whero tho use of tho forms of real
trado tricks tho public out of mil
lions of dollars annually. Without
tao example of tho United States it
is doubtful if Biich an action would
lava been taken, although tho
British peoplo have been fleeced for
years, For John Bull, while- anx
ious to protect tho poople nt largo, 1b
ol!6ltous not' to enact any legisla
tion which would hamper necessary
peculation, which has governmental
endorsement undor tho "Salo of
Goods Act of 1S93," anxious not to
throw tho tradp and commerce of the
land Into chaos. This Is an exag
geration of the caution expressed re
cently by President Roosevelt when
1jo snld: "The great bulk of the busi
ness transacted on tho exchanges lb
not only legitimate but Is necessary
to tho working of our modern In
dustrial system, and extreme caro
would have to be taken not to Inter
fere with this business In doing awuy
with tho bucket-shop typo opera
tions." The bucket-shop ovll, though of
recent growth, has assumed such
prodigious dimensions that England
Is finding moro and more the n'eces
'elty for taking nctlon which, on tho
one hand, would raise tho status of
tho legitimate boards of trade and
"exchanges and, on tho other, would
mnko It practically Impossible for
tho unprincipled man to affect the
appearance of tho genuine Institu
tion aud as an "outsldo broker," as
b.0 la called, to flagrantly cheat ths
uninitiated speculator out of his
eavlngo,
Tho term "bucket-shopper" first ;
originated In London live decades'
ago. It was originally applied to
tho happy-go-lucky hooligans who
went from tavtjrn to tayorn and PMb-1
Jlc-houso to public-house, draining
tho kegs of boor and brandy, stackol(
outsldo tho saloons, into a small ,
bucket they carried; thou adjourning
to some tumb'e-down and malodor
ous shack located in a toughest quar
ter of East end, to drink the liquor
,as tho bucket win passed' round fropi
man to man. Tho word soon fast
ened Itself upon tho man who con
ducted a gambling den in opposition
to regular exchange business and
tho den itself, In which the trans
actions were carried on, came to bo
styled a "bucket-shop,"
Within two scores of years the
"bucket shops" have sprung up Ilka.
mushrooms In England as well bb In
'America. In "the United States the
( members of tho "boards of trade, even
20 years ago, realized the necessity
of making war against tho "bucket-
," anil- since then flghtinr has
been constnnt to crush the fake In
stitutions. Today, the passing of
tho bucket-shop Is a foregone con
clusion. In England, on the con
trary, Httlo systematic effort has
been made to put tho "bucket-shopper,"
out of business nnd protect
tho public.
Tho English bucket-shop is not
unlike thoso remaining in America.
Some "tomt" organizes himself Into
a "company," furnlnhes tho ofHco In
sumptuous stylo, postB "quotations"
on tho blackboard tho data for
thorn Invariably being stolen from
some regulnr board of trado by a
"wire-tapper," or a crooked electric
Ian who, through many devious
schemcB, obtains the quotations sent
on wires from nn exchange. Tho3
quotations are used merely as chip?
in a poker game. Those bent upon
speculation are offored fabulous re
turns. No actual "delivery" of
stocks or commodities takes place.
Tho bucket-shop, moreover, always
Is a principal but charge commission
as a broker. Tho victim plays
A gainst a "heads-I-win-tnlls-you-Iobo"
game.
In England, as in the United
States, tho bucket-shop proprietor
takes paths to make his business
look like a bona fide exchange; the
phraseology and documents used
sham those of stock exchanges nnd
boards of trado. Tho distinguishing
featuro of tho institutions, however,
is tho lack of actual salo or delivery,
and this renders tho transaction a
an appeal on -March 20, 1896. Tho
Universal Stock Exchange. Limited 'a
stopk deals with David Strachan
were declared as-'gambling transac
tion's by the original coilrt, which
tried tho case with tho aid of tho
jury. "Tho transactions were for
very Inrge amounts," and both the
parties to the suit waged a bitter
war. Lord Halsbury, one of tho
Privy Councillors, In expressing his
opinion declared: "When I look at
the terms themselves tho wholn
Bchcmo appears to be intended
with great ingeriulty lo' pretend that
there 1b to be a real transaction, and
yet there is to bo a payment In re
spect of tho relations between the
pnrtles, which Is only reconcilable In
my mind with Its being an unreal
transaction. They aro to got G per
cent. Each of the learned counsel
In turn has been asked what that
was for, Inasmuch as It was admitted
on the other side? My lords. If I
all these transactions not one single
purchase or sale is proved to have
existed during the whole period In
which this business was going on.
Then, If tho ral meaning of tho par
ties Is this, that there Is to be only
a payment of differences, what is it
but a gaming and wagering transac
tion botween' tho tvo as to what
shall be the payment on one side or
on thcother side? My lords, If I
were on the" Jary, I should come to
that conclusion."
Tho other privy councillors con
curred with Lord Halsbury, and tho
original verdict of tho Jury that tho
transaction came undor the hend of
gambling was upheld.
In another case analogous to tho
abovo, tho Master of tho Rolls do
clared In his opinion this was not a
true transaction. "For somo rea
son which ho did not understand."
he said, "it Iiob been held that such
transaction did not amount to
gambling. It was nn nttompt to keep
MP tho prlco of shnresi and In order
to make It appear a true transaction
It was put Into tho Jargon of the
stock exchange."
Despite these decisions tho bucket-shoppers
In England contlnnte to
throw their drag-net nnd to catch
big prizes. By meanB of adroitly
worded advertisements and through
touts, they manage to raise expecta
tions amongst simple-minded Eng
llBhmont to Induce thorn to partici
pate In gambling. Tho gamo Is
played under- cover In such n clover
manner that the same person, In
splto of former lotses, bites nt the
bait a number of times and, as a
consequenco, loses Bum after Bum.
Tho boards of trado and legltlmato
oxchanges have dono something,
though not as much aB in the United
States to enlighten tho public re
garding tho bucket-shop shark, yet
ho continues to live and flourish.
