ON REGULATING STOCK EXCHANGE Ar fitments Before Committee od the New Law Proposed (By Associated Press.) Washington, Feb. 11 That the price?the little "pikers being stung" by operation on the stock exchange? though a big one, is not too big to pay for the benefit of an extended market which would be narrowed by the operation of the proposed law for the regulation of stock exchanges, was the position 'taken today by C. Emery, professor of economics ai Yale, to the committee on banking and. currency. Prof. Emery stated that the effects of the stock exchange on banking would be ruined by the government legislation. O. C. Hughes- of the Hughes com mission, also spoke and admitted some of the evils Congress Is seek ing, to remedy. The need for regulation by Con gress he said, was the issuing of se curities and public opinion was suffi cient to keep tho - stock exchange straight. (He said the stock eg* change had adopted twelve out of sixteen recommendations - made to* by the Hughes commission, while the1 Nbw York legislature had not adopt-, ed a single one. j Young men of no means were pro tected by losing money on the stock exchange, Mr. Page said, because those employed in financial institu tions would lose their positions if their employers learned they were speculating .and because brokers would not fill orders for auch men.

Monterey, Laredo, Clu dad Porfirlo Diaz and Torreon were among the towns named. The infer erfce drawn was that campaigns against these federals strongholds were, not being actively pushed by the constitutionalists. It was suggested that rebel lead ers were awaiting the receipt of fresh supplies of arms and ammuni tion. There also is a suggestion that Gen. Villa and Gen. Carrauta are concerned over the possibility that some of their followers, unused to restraint, may be difficult to handle in the event that any of tbeae large towns are captured, and that, for the present, they are quietly putting into I operation disciplinary measures with a view to meeting the close scrutiny of the civilised world when tbey are placed in the attitude of conquerors.
