Transactions Aggrepsting 100000 Shares We're Recorded, Showing Gains of 10 7 1-2 Points-Practi- caliy all Stocks are Affected

New York April 9-With transac- tions aggregating almost 100000 shares and gains extending from to l-2 points in leading issues to- days stock market was the most eX- citing and noteworthy of any day since July 30 last, which marked the issuance of Germany's ultimatm to Russia.
 On the surface the market had the signs of general awakening of pub lie interest due to variety of flaw orable factors including the statement of the treasuary department which bore out unofficial adyices ot general domestic improvement. Another pow erful influence was the persistnenl circulation of peace rumors even though these met with prompt denial in high quarters
 The day began with some misgiv- ings, because the spectacular move ment of the preceding session in Bethlehem Steel That stock was comparatively inactive today even though it added seven points to its credit. United States Steel responded to a wide and general demand which carried it more than seven points to 57 in the final dealings and with total dealings of 244,000 shares.
 Reading was only second in impor- tance to United States Steel with sales of l13.G00 shares and a gain of , l-2 Union Pacific, Amalgamated Copper and other speculative favor ites were next in order with extensive overtnrns at 3 to 12 point gains.
 The upward sweep soon became gen. eral The exchange machinery was tested to capacity in the final deal ings, the ticker being almost ten min utes behind in recording closing quo tations.

dent on the shipment of arms into Mexico, officials here hold that the Mexican situation constitutes sle- cial case, in no way comparable with the relations between the tn ted States and the European beligerents. Officials pointed out that the presi- dent said in the same address to con. gress:
 "I deem 1t my duty to exercise the authority conferred upon me by the law of March II. 1912, to see to it that neither side to this struggle now going on in Mexico receive any assist. ance from this side of the border"
 There is no law by which the presi- dent of the United States, it was de- clared, could exercise the same au- thority, even if he were desirous Of forbidding the eXportation of arms to all beligerents, as to do so without authority from congress would be un- constitutional.
 The viewpoint of the American gON ernment has been from the outset that its position with respect to the shipment of arms has been enforced impartially as to all bellgerents, and Secretary Bryans letter to Chairman Stone of the senate foreign relations committee discussing this point, con tended that if the Germanic aues were unable to enjoy the same ad- yautages as tO the delivery of arms into their country, this was due to the naval superiority of Great Britain and not 10 any circumstances over which tle United States had any control

WASHINGTON IS DISAPPOINTED
Protest Sent Villa Against Recent Decree Ordering Resupmton of Min ing Operations on Pain of Having Properties Confscated.

Washington. April 9.-General Car ranza has finally notified the United States government through Consul Siuiman that he cannot agree 10 the naturalization of either Mexico City or the railroads from the capital to Vera Cruz. TO both of these sugges tions, made by the state department the ViHa-Zapata authorities had given their consent.
 Gen. Carranza refused to exclude Mexico City from the field of opar- ations on the ground that it is an ob- iectiye point in his military campaign. Military reasons also are given for refusal to neutralize the railroads be , tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City. Officials here while disappointed over the failure of the negotiations which had for their object the fur finishing a means of ingress and egress for foreigners are hopeful that the rail roads between Mexico City and the American border will soon be repair ed and accomplish the same purpose,
 At present this line is interrupted by the operations of the Carranza forces under Gen Obregon in the vii cinity of lrapuato
 A protest against the recent decree issued at Chihuahua, Mexico, proyid' ing for the forfeiture of mines upon which taxes are not paid or mpoH which develdJment work is sugpend ed beyond a fixed date has been lodged with the Villa officials by the state department. The decree. the de. partment holds, would impose undue hardships on American and other for eign owners of Mexican mining prop erty.
 The following statement was issued tonight summarizing the situation:
 The department is advised that the Villa administration at Chihuahua on March 19. issued a decree with ref erence to mining operations providing that if operations at the mines are suspended or if taxes are not paid the mines will be forfeited It is stated that the decree will be in effect from April and l20 days from the date of the promulgation of the law will be allowed for the resumption of opera tions.
 The department has made a pro test against the provisions of this de- cree pointing out the hardships that would be imposed upon companies in compelling them to operate their mines when either the condition of the work or the political situation would make such operation highly in advisable and unprofitable"
 Definite information as 10 the progress of the campaign in the region of Irapuato in which General Villa is leading his troops in person against the Carranza forces nnder General Obregon still were lacking late today, although a report to the state department dated Irapuato | April [, said Obregon's men had re

 A report today from Consul Canada at Vera Cruz said news received on April s by Carranza officials from Obregon was interpreted there as in dication that a decisive victory has been won.

 A department announcement de- scribed as follows the currency situa- ton in the state of Sonora: Counterfeit money has been brought into the state in large amounts and it has been practically impossible to dis tinguish the good from the bad. It is reported that Gen. Villa has sent an agent to HermosiEo to examine all money and stamp the word counter felt. 1t is claimed that much of the money that has been rendered void has heretofore been accepted in busi- ness transactions and that in some
 instances its acceptance has been com. pulsory. The refusal of the authori- ties to accept certain issues of money is working reat hardship on the poorer classes"

NEW YORK CLUB MAN INDICTED ON TWO CHARGES OF AT
 TEMPTED ROBBERY.

New York, April 9.-PAillip T White, manager of the paint firm oi John M Masury X Son, in Brooklyn indicted last month on a charge ot attempted robbery in connection with an attempt to he up and rob em ployes of the Sackett X Wilhelms Lithographing Company of $9,500 on August z last, is named in another in- dictment in connection with the rob. bery of $3,032 from employees oI his own company on June , last. This was brought out today when three prisoners were arraigned in a Brock. lyn court charged with robbery, grand larceny and assault, based on the Ma. sury holdup, in which messengers re- turning from a bank were robbed in a hallway of the plant.
 White. who is a widely known citi- zen of Elizabeth, N. J., and a member of clubs there and in Brooklyn, had been arrested in his home town on the Masury case indictment. He had been out on bail of $l0O00 on the pro. vious indictment. His eXtradition win be asked
 The prisoners arraigned today were James F. Clinnin, former accountant for the Sackett x Wilhelms Com pany; Robert S. Roberts and Benja- min Stifler. All were held in $10,0O0 bail each. Clinnin was tried recently on charge of being one of the would be robbers of Sackett X Wilhelms employees and acquitted. He was in dicted subsequently with White in connection with the Masury holdup.
