DETROIT, MICH, Feb. 21-
Defying and ignoring the fact that
the United States government had
taken a hand in the attempts TO
halt the importation Of liquor into
Michigan, the tidal wave of booze
from Toledo to Detroit, which has

gallons of whiskey has been
brought into Michigan.

Borah demanded that the League of

Liberty Bonds Rally
Proposed Extension of Conver-
sion Privilege Causes Rise

Announcement from Washington that
Secretary Of the Treasury Glass pro-
poses to reopen the conversion privi-
lege to holders of the first and second
Liberty loan per cent bonds, permit
ting them to convert the same into
AIS, resulted in sharp rise in both
issues on the Stock Exchange yester-
day. The first as advanced from 92.70
to 94.10, while the second As advanced
from 92.30- to 9410 on fairly active
trading. The conversion privilege on
these issues expired by limitation on
November last, and according to Sec
retary Glass holders of $1,O67 $50, 900
of these bonds failed to exercise the
option to convert them into Ans.
In Wall Street the proposal f the
head of the Treasury Department was
taken to be a step toward protecting
the holders of these bonds who through
ignorance or for other reasons failed
to convert into the higher interest
bearing bonds. 1t is also believed that
if the conversion privilege is reopened
as proposed it will help toward max
ing the impending loan operation a
success.
