point Is extraordinary. for never has so

The problems OF the Panama Canal. IL is
asserted, were not more difficult OF go

The dam will afford opportunity for
the removing of subaqueous rock between

The piers are to be built over a shelly

Smith explains in report, ut Is neces-

waters of the Hudson by means OF a
temporary dam and by blasting it out In

Armenia, Mexican, was arrested by United States government agents as he stepped off a train on his arrival here this afternoon. His arrest followed telegraphic instructions from Los An geics, explaining that Armenia was coming to the border to incite the Mex ican people to destroy American prop erty. He is said to be secret agent of the Huerta government, commits stoned to induce rebel leaders to join the federals.
 The prisoner is well dressed and ap- parently well provided with money. Other foreigners besides Americans are leaving the interior of western Mexico.

FOLLOW UP'
 SNOW STUDY
Robert R. Briggs to Cover Extensive Territory in W aters Il ed Planning Work for Winter in the Checking of Water

Section Director Briggs of the United States Weather Bureau will shortly leave for the White noun tains on another snow survey trip taking plenty of time to study the lay of the land, while most of the snow is melted, so he can line up some observations for next fall. II will be another step in the extensive task of putting the winds of the north in tabulated reports, and set ting down snowfall in columns of figures.
 Assisted by the reclamation and forest services, the weather office proposes to get that watershed down in black and white, so that "abso- lutcs" and constants" of run off can be secured from the data to be figured out in advance. It is a hard task to keep tabs on the snow, and make it possible to predict what a certain sort of storm will leave on the watershed in the way of avail able water.
 Briggs will check over part of the ground worked by Kenneth Meal1er in his two trips to the White noun tains. and will in addition cover a great deal more territory, particular ly that lying between the White mountains and the dam, and along the upper Tonto and Verde. He will leave in a chartered mountain going automobile, which he will rent by the day on contract. and will be gone about three weeks.

ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHl


 NEW YORK, April 25.-There was further unsettlement of the stock mar ket The movement was irregular and at times, confused. While the down. ward movement was extended, the net losses were considerably smaller than on the preceding day. Two main fac tors of the weeks decline were the Mexican crisis and heavy foreign sell ing Today these influences pulled against each other Foreign pressure was relieved and American stocks in London held fairly steady for the first time in several days on the other hand the Mexican situation was d much of disturbance force as before. Prepar- ations for war and the reported assas sinatiOn of Americans in Mexico seemed to increase the probability of a serious and prOtracted struggle and there was corresponding depression of sentiment. Comparison of last prices today with the close of last week shows Canadian Pacific. Mexican pc trOleum and Smelling lost about 10 points each. St Paul, Hartman shares were about points lower, but Reading and Steel show declines of only about points. Fully as significant of the depressed state of feeling as the fall in stocks was the heaviness of the bond market. Some prominent bonds lost point or more. Southern Pacific con- vertible 5s. when issued, sold heavily and went as low as 9915 compared with the subscription price of 100. Total sales of bonds represented a par value of $1.400,0 900.
