Trust Companies Hit Fakes Tha postmaster general of the United State, In hts last official report, states that wildcat" securities and "fake" In vestments to the extent of $120,000,000 were sold through the malls during the last year. Newspapers recently gave ac counts of a number of spectacular raids made by postal inspectors on the offices of promoters and "professional swindlers who wore using the malls to Induce peo ple to urchsa spurious stocks or In vestments. In some cases these pro moters maintained an elaborate system of private wtres and had elegant offices In many cities. The "eeeurltles" they offered consisted largely of peeudo shares In Industrial, mining and land promotion enterprises. Despite the numerous statutory safe guards whloh have been enacted for the protection of investors and control of corporations, or enterprises offering stocks or bonds for sale, there are many subterfuges whloh the unscrupulous pro fessional promoter utilises to swindle In nocent women and men. The question, then, follows, naturally, as to what Is the most Important agency In discourag ing Improper Investment and promotion schemes. Answer "the trust company." Further consideration of the growth and work of trust' companies In the United States reveals the fact that they have exercised the greatest influence In limiting the field of operations of the professional promoter. "Fake" promoters have been taught by experience that they cannot enjlst the co-operation of trust companies' or secure their services as trustee, depositories, registrar, transfer agont or In any capacity. If one of these promoters goes Into tha , office of a reputable trust company and lays his plans before the executive or trust officer he soon finds out that his scheme will havo to undergo an add test and h ihlc8 himself away. Trust companies now generally main tain investment departments, through Which they offer Invaluable services to their clients and the general public These departments are primarily main tained in connection with Investments In connection with handling trust funds, and for the purchase or sale of se curities for the trust company's own account But frequently such depart ments handle. original security and bond issues. The manager of this department Is a roan especially skilled to Judge investments. TIMELY REALESTATE GOSSIP Peony Farm Is the Mecca for Prop erty Bayers on west Dodge. WILL OPEN NEW ADDITION Another Restricted Subdivision in Happy Hallow Is Being Prepared for the Market br Gearsa dt Company, The twenty-five acrea bounded by podge on the south, Chicago on the north, Fifty-second street on the east and the Happy Hollow boulevard on the west, Is now being graded and In about ninety days will be subdivided into six blocks with winding roadways and irregular shape lots, the lots having street frontage ranging from sixty to IS feet These six blocks will, be added to, and will be called Happy Hollow. The first three blocks of the Happy Hollow subdivision directly east of the nappy Hollow club were platted and placed on the market about three years ago and already fifteen attractive houses have been built on these blocks. All lots, blocks and streets In the new subdivision will bo brought to established permanent grades before the property is platted, and all street improvements will be In, Including sewers, sidewalks, curbs, gutters and paving. It is said that when finished this wilt be the most beautiful strictly high-class addition to Omaha. Building restrictions will require houses, when built to cost not less than 16,100, They must be of brick, brick veneer, stone ' or combination thereof. No one-story bungalow and no frame houses will be permitted. These six blocks overlook Elm wood park and the Happy Hollow golf course and have about one-third of a mllo frontage on the new Happy Hollow boulevard. About 11,000,000 was expended In the Happy Hollow-Dundee district during the years l$li and 1912 on public Improve ments and new houses, Included In which improvement was the laying of eight and one-half miles of asphalt paved streets. It i estimated that about 100 new houses will be built in this district during 1913. The pork department assisted by con tributions from property owners in the vicinity, opened up last year one of the best pieces of boulevard work that has ever been given to the public here. This boulevard Is about one and a quarter miles in length and extends from Leaven worth street on the south, skirting along ths east line of Elmwood park up through Happy Hollow and Dundee to Hamilton street and three blocks of the boulevard between Underwood avenue and Cuming street have been converted Into a sunken garden, which will be one of the beauty snots of Omaha in the future. Peony Fnrnt I.nrrn. To get persona Interested In property on the West Dodge road and adjacent parallel streets, real estate agents have found that the peony farm Is one of their best lures. When that twenty-five acre tract Is In bloom thousands of Omahana and visitors ake automobile and buggy trips to view It, with the result that prop erty along the way attracts them. The peony farm Is Just five and one- half mOas west of Sixteenth street The full twenty-five acres of peonies have been In bloom during the last two weeks, and as many as fifty automobiles stop there in an evening to get armloads of the beautiful flowers. The place Is owned by J. F. Rosenfleid, who came hero three yearn ago from "West Point where ho was In the same business for many years. The place was an ordinary unattractive pasture tteld when he took it and now is one of the largest flower gardens in the country. It is enclosed by a rose and shrub fence, which will add still more to the beauty of the place In a year or so. With the Ileal Estate JUen. Miss Lorona teeka of Thurman. Ia,, has bought the home of Dr. J. C Soukup, 6301 Florence boulevard, on the "Prettiest Mile." It was built by Charles Martin & Co. She paid $8,009 for the place and will occupy It as her home.
