STOCK MARKET SEES

New York. April 15.-Stock exchange

again today, the fourth time in less than
a week, while the operations were ac-
companied by higher average level OF
prices than that on any recent day, and
embraced a larger number OF issues Ex-
actly PIP individual stocks were traded
in, more than on any day for several
years. A few of these stocks rose from

or passed their best quotations of the
current rise.
Inquiry for securities came largely from
commission houses. which implied an in
crease Of speculative and investment de-
mand from out-of-town interests. I'M
partial observers believe local interests
including professional traders and rep
rescrtatives OF foreign banks. have been
among the heavy sellers of the last few
days. That the weight of those COM
bined offerings has not been of much
avail in stemming the rising tide OF
quoted values is regarded as proof. IT
is contended, of the markets inherent
strength.

The fact that the Dutch government
was directly involved in the katwyk $
cargo and that the news of the sinking
of the steamer came Immediately on top
of the announcement that four Dutch
trawlers had been seized by the Germans
and taken to Zeebrugge. apparently has

GOVERNMENT SEEKS
TO POSTPONE CASE
AGAINST OFF F|C|ALS
Expects Hard Legal Fight
in Injunction Proceedings
Brought by the Riggs
National Bank

Washington. April 15.-Further evil
dence that the government expects 20
have a hard fight on Its hands in the
Injunction proceedings brought by the
Riggs National bank against Secretary
McAdoo and Comptroller Williams was
given today when government counsel
announced that a postponement would
be sought when the case comes up to-
morrow in the district supreme court
Louis D. Brandeis. Special Assistant
Attorney General in charge of the case,
was not prepared to tell tonight just
bow much time he would ask from the
court. 1t was indicated, however. that
he would seek continuance for al
| least week.
Mr.. Brandeis was unwilling to dis
cuss the case. 1t was believed, how
ever, that the fact that appointment
will be sought shows that the govern
ment does not expect to make its main
Plea against the jurisdiction of the
court, but will seek to answer the al
legations set forth in the banks bill
McAdoo and Williams with a conspir-
acy to wreck it and with long per-
secution.
If that proves to be the case it is
possible that the court will ask for
light outside that furnished in the bill
and the answer and the arguments of
lawyers. That Is what those who are
following every move in the case are
on tiptoe to hear. The witness chair
probably would be occupied by most
of the bank officials and some of the
most prominent men in official life.
Knew of Interchange
At one time or another most of the
present treasury officials have had
knowledge of the interchanges between
Mr.. Williams and the Riggs bank Mr.
Williams has expressed Willingness to
go on the stand If asked to do so and
If counsel advises it. Although secre-
tary McAdoo is still confined to his
home, recovering from an opera ton
no one in official life doubts his will
ingness to appear in the case if II
teaches the stage where testimony Is
taken.
In a statement issued tonight for
mer Senator Bailey of counsel for the
bank denied that any other national
lank had any part in the pending pro-
ceedings or had been consulted about
the suit in any way.
THE decision in this case" Mr.
Baileys statement said, will deter
mine how far the banks of this coun-
| Try are subject to the arbitrary power
of the comptroller of the currency ano
also how far the comptroller of the
currency is subject TO the limitations
! of the law. 1t could not, therefore
| be otherwise than that the banks are
| concerned, whether they sympathize
with the treasury officials or the Riggs
National bank"

President Wilson sent a telegram
from his summer home in Cornish, N.
H., where he is spending a vacation,
to his secretary in Washington in
forming him that as Don as he had
thoroughly considered the new Ger
man note and the terms of his reply
thereto he would return to Washing

tary Lansing and the cabinet. The
, belief is prevalent that the President
will do everything in his power to
avoid an open breach with Germany.
Plans are under way for the es-
t%ablishment of a board of inventors
who will lend their aid in perfecting
equipment for the army and navy.
Two members of the board will be
Orville Wright and Thomas A. Edi-

HOME PRINTING

Excellent in every way and highly
to be commended as exemplary for
all lines of endeavor in the state, is
the action of the Allied Printing
Trades in strongly advocating that
all Montana printing be done in Mon
tana.
That is the kind of "Home Indus
try" campaign that should be waged.
There are many residents of Mon
tana who send to places outside of
the state for their printing work.
Why? t
Montana is splendidly equipped with
the workmanship, apparatus and other
details for the turning out of the
best kind of printing.
Montana's printers contribute in nc
small way to the upkeep of the state
and it is only just and proper that
all in Montana who have printing
work to do should have it done with.
in the borders of Montana so thai
it will be of aid to this common
wealth's printing craft, especial,
when the class of printing done il
this state is so thoroughly good.
