Paris, April 3.-Easter week always

financial matters, and this year trading
is greatly reduced through the var.
Moreover, the Stock Exchange is closed
until April s, and frequenters Of the

small boom in this stock.
Three per cents, which just before
the war were so depressed and neg

daily rises of from one-quarter TO

while the last 3 y per cent loan has
been practically liquidated, and the
market prices have kept above the level
required to use this stock as cash for
the purchase of new government issues.
Mot active among foreign funds are
notably he Spanish Exterior Debt, the
Russian list and a small demand for
Egyptian is, Turkish Unified and
others, but the South Americans were
shade less active.
Good offers have stimulated gains in
Suez Canal, broken by triding occa-
sional setbacks. The French bond
market is improved IN tone, with mod

Of naturalization of the Prudential

in possession Of the contractors at the
close of the contract
The complaint that the Allies are
failing to get as much ammunition as
they might because of the operations
of J. p. Morgan & Co., or through the
refusal of manufacturers to deal with
that firm made in London from time to
time, are laughed at by those who
know the situation. AS the Morgan
company receives a bankers commits
sion on all business it transacts il is
not permitting likes or dislikes to in
terfere with the placing Of contracts
and so far as Wall Street knows no
manufacturer of supplies is running
his plant on a sentimental basis and
letting dislike of the Morgan firm in
terfere with his having a share of the
melon now being passed around.
The underlying cause of this COM
plant, Wall Street believes, is the
failure of banking group allied with
London bankers TO get in on the
Morgan contract. Not big enough TO
handle the contract itself, this group
expected to be invited TO share in the
profits. 1t has not received that in
vitation.

LYNCRERS MURDER
SHERIFF AND NEGRO
Eight Others Wounded in
South Carolina Race
Riot.

Winnsborc, s. c., June l4.-Sherlit
A. D.. Hood of Fairfield County, and
jules Smith. negro prisoner, were
killed. and eight others injured in an
attack on the Sherif's party here 20
day. while the negro was being taken
to court for trial on an assault charge.
Physicians said two of the wounded
would probably die.
CLYDE and Ernest Isenhour, relatives
of the young woman Smith IS alleged
to have attacked, and william Morrl-
son. a brother-iE-law, were indicted to
night for murder by the Fairfield
County grand jury. Witnesses before
the grand Jury are said TO have testl-
fed that Clyde Iscnhour led the mob.
Sheriff Hood and his deputies had
reached the courthouse, when the mob
tried to seize the prisoner. The
Sherff's warning was ignored, and the
shooting began. Although weak from
six bullet wounds, Hood dragged Smith
into the courtroom. The negro fell
dead beside the dock. Hood was sent
TO a Columbia hospital on a special
train and died tonight.
Adjutant General Moore had been
notified of the situation and was on his
way here from Columbia by automo-
bile, bringing a supply OF ammunition
II is said that the local militia were
unable to aid in maintaining order be-
cuse they had no cartridges.
Toccoa, Ga, June Sam Stephens,
a negro, was taken from the Stephens
County jail early to-day by a mob Of
more than 100 armed men, hanged to
a nearby tree and shot to death. He
was accused Of attacking a sixteen
year-old white girl.

Carothers, Wilson Agent,
Arrives at Border

Ell Paso. Tex, June ID. George -
Carothers. special representative OF the
State Department in Villa territory
arrived here tonight TO get into close
touch with Washington. Diaz LON
bardo. Villas Minister for Foreign AZ
fairs, who expected to accompany MT
Carothers, remained at Aguas Cali-
entes comforting with Villa.
Mr.. Carothers SAYS he was informed
at Torreon that General Obregon had
been taken from Lagos to Vera Cruz
desperately wounded. Lagos Is tfty
miles north of Leon, and in villa ter
ritory, making it practically impossi-
BILE for Oregon TO be there
Carranza reports contradict the story
of Obregon's death, and say he is stlll
at Leon. Other reports reaching the
border to-day insist that Oregon Is
really dead.
Mr.. Carothers said the cases OF Fln-
kelstein and Marx. Americans who. are
under death sentences in chihuahua,
have been held up until the arrival
of an attorney. who will review the
cases at the request Of the United
States government.

Morgan Contracts
Speed Munitions
Plants to Limit

War contracts TO the limit Of the
country with its present capacity have
now been placed, according to those
most familiar with the work done in
behalf of the Allies, by the firm of j.
p Morgan & Co. II there is anybody
in the country who can produce any
thing the Allies want all that he has
10 do is call upon Morgan & Co., sub
nit his proposition and show he is IN
a position TO do as he says. lie VIII
have a contract ready for his signature
before he leaves the office.
More than that, he can obtain at the
same time a cash advance for material
equal to % per cent Of the face OF his
contract.
II does not matter whether it is the
means for making shrapnel cases, or
the small brass bands with when they
are bound, 12-inch shells or rifle am
munition, Illuminating caps or ma
chinery available for the manufacture
~ nun, ions-eyerytiing is wanted
and the contracts will be placed as soon
as the statements Of the bidder are
checked up.
Contracts thus far placed, according
N those in touch with the operations
Of the Allies agents, leave substantl-
ally no idletcapacity. For example, II
is stated that there is not an idle
plant in all New England capable OF
turning out supplies. Buildings for
such work can be completed in from
two TO three months, but machinery
cannot be turned out in less than
double that time, with manufacturers
working 10 capacity.
II is now considered likely that ad-
ditional ammunition capacity will be
secured by the actual financing Of the
contractors by the Allies. Or TO state
il differently, Wa" Street expects that
the Allies will furnish the money with
which to build and equip plants and
then buy the output, leaving the plants
