GEIGER-JONES COMPANY’S ' HOPE ONLY IN BREAKING MW Attorney General Turner in U. S, Court Bear* Facta a* to Financial Cowditiwi * f F im—Startliny Revelationa,* K ” ■Greene countiana holding $6(M),00C in preferred and commonstocks in.the Geiger-Jones companies have little en -couragemont as to the safety of their investment, according to .only partial figure* a* given by Attorney" General Turner in arguing against the injunc­ tion suit in the U. S, court at Cincin­ nati on Saturday,” that if sustained ■will keep Bank Superintendent Hall from revoking the brokerage compa­ ny’s license* »- Turner declared that the company ■. had given out statements that-certain companies had a surplus of $53,000, •when the state accountants'find that the books show an actual deficit of $40,000, This unnamed company was represented as always having been on a paying*basis but-the. facts,wpre it had never made a dollar and had lost $260,000 up to the time of the"investi­ gation. Patents .that heretofore had not been listed are now carried a* as­ sets valued at $155,000 in an effort ,to bring the company’s books to show the concern^to be on a paying basis. -By such the losses pf a single year were made to appear on ihe.book§, as profits of nearly ^T'O.fiOO, Orfe of the companies named was the Central Steel and dividends have not been earned yet paid in violation of , law. Thp dividends having been paid ’ out of the funds of the Geiger-Johes Company itself. The Geiger-Jones Company’s books at this date’’ show that $165,000 had .been advanced to various companies for the payment of dividends. , - , “The Geiger-Jones Company sold the Central Steel Company’s stock for $1,0001000/’ said Attorney .General "Rimer. “Why did they do so? Be­ cause the Central Steel Company fifeed- ' ed the money. Did the’Central Steel Company get the money.? Did the Geiger-Jones Gompany give i t to the . Central, Steel 'Company? No. The Geiger-Jones Company has used this money m some failing concernadd has given the Central Steel Company its 'note for $264,000, secured bynothing! -..‘«£iow*i£thit want ued Attorney General Turner, "^SJoSe . are some Of tile tfiingk that will come out. - "those are the .things that they 'are afraid of.‘ Nothing but the truth, if. Your Honors please—-nothing but • the truth. The Attorney General has some little responsibility. He is not ' .going to take any chances of having a judgment against him. He has the facts back, of him-. With those facts back of him he is not afraidjof any concern in the state of Ohio or any- •where else.” Another charge*against the Geiget- Jones Company -Was that it was car- rying nearly two -of invest­ ments of which the state’s probers had found one million of the. Geiger-Jobes >Company in a company that had lost, more than a .million in the past five years and which had liabilities amounting to $135,000 in excess of its assets. The Geiger-Jones comnany in this transaction has placed the good will of. the company upon its books (the Geiger-Jones-Company) at $1,« poo,ooo. “Now, if Your Honor please, before the Superintendent of Banks may act, he must have proof that the defendant is engaged ov is about to engage un­ der favor of such license in illegiti­ mate business Or fraudulent transac­ tions or has violated the provisions of this act. “Down in their hearts the Complain­ ants in this case know it must come from their own conduct or they would not have brought this case; in other words, it is an application to the United States court* to perpetuate a fraud because unless they4are guilty of fraud there can be no .license re­ voked by the state, Thev say that the public action bt the Attorney Gener­ a's opinion will hurt them. I t will aiul deservedly so. They have already -aid .ip. their bill that the Attorney General proposed to recommend to the Bank Superintendent that he revoke their license. Now, what they are afraid of’ are the facts upon which that opinion is based; • they are try­ ing to get this court to prevent those being made public and the facts are, if the court please, as I 'have told them, We rely upon none/ although we have plenty of them outside of the certified public accountants’ documents and their figures. That'is what they are afraid of; 'thahi» what they have come into this court and asked an Injunction for,” Going into the object o f the. so- called “blue sky” law, the attorney general stated that there is no lawyer but wftn knows of some widow who has investedthe* little insurance money received after her. husband’s death in worthless stocks. de­ clared that widows and orphans in this country had been robbed of mil­ lions ofvdollars through the operations of unprincipled brokerage concerns apd promoters. \ ' “The whole purpose, of the- law,” said Attorney ’General, Turner, “ is the prevention of fraud. It seeks only to stop the sale of stocks in 'fiy*by« night’ "concerns, visionary oil wells, distant gold mines and other like Fraudulent exploitations. I t does,not cover all securities, but is limited to the class' of securities- referred to,” ' Judge Warrington unnoUhted that the case would be taken under advise- mentjand a decisipn given at some future date. Former Attorney General frogan represented Geiger-Jones but argued the "constitutionality of the “blue-sky” act and had little or noth­ ing to spy of the company's finances.
