There followed charges and counter charges in which Ryan &C., cused members of the board of gover- rnors of being short in the stock and 4n which other members of the ex- change accused him of having an illegal corner which would prevent him from enforcing the usual obligation of a broker to deliver stock he has sold. Ryan denied having a corner and said that as chairman of the Stutz director ate he acted to protect stockholders against raiders.

 AUSTIN, Texas. April 24.-Request of the Mexican government through the state department at Washington for permission for Generals Juan Jose Rios and Manuel Gambo, and their staffs 10 cross Texas soil on their way from Sonora to Mexico City was refused by Governor Hobby of Texas today. The party was to travel unarmed as CIVIL ians. The state department saw no objection to granting permission and asked the acquiescence of Texas to the request
 Governor Hobby. replying to tele- gram from Secretary of State Colby, said he was unalterably opposed to the transportation of Mexican troops or any military officers thereof across said, would likely provoke trouble and put American citizens on the bor- der at the mercy of bandits.
 The correspondence was given out at the governors office late tonight Secretary Colby's message to Cover nor Hobby dated April 19 follows:
 Mexican government has requested permission for Generals Juan Jose Rios and Manuel Gambo and their suites of about 35 persons, including women. to proceed via American territory from Nogales, Arizona, to Ell Paso, Texas.  As this request appears to be entirely distinct from any movement of mobil- ized forces this government sees no objection to granting permission with the understanding that the generals and their staffs travel un-uniformed, unarmed and as civilians. I beg to re- quest that you telegraph the depart ment of state in accordance with the customary formality the assurance that acquiescence in the above men, tioned request will be entirely agree able to the state of Texas"
 Governor Hobby's reply, declining to grant permission, reads:
 Replying to your telegram of the nineteenth. beg to reiterate the posi- ton taken in each of my former tele- grams. I am unalterably opposed to the transportation of Mexican troops or any military officials thereof across Texas soil. Such transportation would likely provoke trouble and put the lives and property of American citi- zens along the border to a large extent at the mercy of the bandit forces op- posing the forces represented by the generals retired to in your tele- grams"

 Concerning alleged dishonesty in thm Mexican government he said:
 During my short stay as member of the CarranZa cabinet, I had the best opportunity to persuade myself of the immortality of government proceedings and how corrupt coterie labors with such an interruptions man. headed by his chief of staff. General Juan Bar- ragan.
 Right there, in the chief of staffs office, everything is a-matter of spec- ulation- They sell government posi- tions and concessions of all kinds and robberies of the public funds are au- thorized; they speculate with the bonds of officers and chiefs of the army and even with the pensions of widows and orphans of soldiers of the revolution are subjected to charge of a commission by the authorized Bar ragan."
 General Gales charged that sathey proportionately divide all moneys pro- duced by any dirty business.'
 Carranza violated the votes of the people Of four states, he said and inn posed upon them military governors Of hls own selection to take the places of governors elected by the people.
 The revolution, General Gales said was nothing less than the enerretic manifestation Of protest and that no man shall impose such tyranny ana feudal proceedings upon the nation"

 WASHINGTON, April 24-Prof-
 iteers were denounced in the sem
 ate today by Senator Capper, re-
 publican, Kansas, who presented
 statistics which, he said, showed
 that the earnings of many Ameri-
 can corporations represented prof
 iteering open, scandalous and
 shameless"
 Senator Capper attacked the depart ment of justices cheaper meat cam paign and said increased prices for sugar were -'the most brazen challenge we have had in this "saturnalia of greed
 Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis consin, agreeing with the Kansas sen ator's declaration that profiteering had become a national menace, said Attor- mouse traps around the country when he ought to be setting bear traps," to catch the big or millionaire profiteers. The administration was held responsi- ble by Senator Lenroot for increasing sugar prices.
 Disagreement with the contentious of Senators Capper and Lenroot was ex- pressed by Senator Thomas, democrat, Colorado, who said the senators were complaining about conditions instead of causes like a child who stumbles over a chair and then turns around and kicks it.''
 Senator Capper said ample laws ex- isted to check profiteering and that eff those charged with enforcement of these laws will see that profit hogs are sent to jail. prices will soon tumble" He added that if law enforcement off -. cers of the government could not en- force the statutes, they should resign and let in men who could take their places.
 Excessive margins of profits ars proof of profiteering. Senator Cappef said. in presenting a list of corpora lions whose profits were placed at from 20 to 200 per cent. The list of such corporations included textile and makers of nearly all he staple commodities. Farmers were acquitted of blame by the senator.

 Carranza staged a theatrical recep- tion" for the Japanese marines of the cruiser s'Yapkuma," when they recently visited Mexico City, according to Gen Gales, and compelled employees of the federal government and city admins tration to take part under penalty of discharge. ''CarranZa pretended to show by this masquerade" said the statement, ''that his government counted upon the support of the na- government has been repudiated by all good Mexicans, as they have repudiated the false international policy of Car ranza."
 Scores Carranza's Yucatan Policy
 Gales attacked Carranza for what he termed "unheard of crimes committed at Yucatan in order to destroy all the revolutionary tasks started by Gen Salvador Alvarado and to subjugate all the political rights of the citizens of the state.''
 opinions of the people were silenced by force and fear, according to the statement, which continued:
 In Yucatan the baiIiffs of Car
 ranza, with Col. Zamaripa at their
 head, murdered the civilian author
 tiles of some towns; burned after
 pIundering the stores of socialist
 corporations; burned the offices of
 the socialist party in the city of
 Merida, going so far in their bar
 barism that they whipped moro
 than 200 defenseIess women, whom
 they personally assembled at
 public park"
 The statement also said:
 About eight months ago Carranza summoned me to the capital under the pretense of giving me the post in his cabinet of secretary of industry, com merce and labor, with the view of talk ing me out of Sonora and having me close to him at his disposition in the City of Mexico, with the purpose of making me his accomplice and his in- strument for making a mockery of the public vote.
 'sAt Queretaro, in a conference with Carranza himself, at which Gen. Fran cisco Murguia was witness, he yer baIly suggested to me more or less as follows:
 s.sAs you well comprehend Gen Pablo Gonzales is not suitable can didate for the presidency and Gen Obregpn neither can be thought about for his attacks against us, but tomor- row we will meet Louis CaDrera ana Aguirre Berlanga and will have q con- ference in which we will resolve the situation determining who will be the candidate for the presidency of the re- public that the government is going to impose by any means"
 Refuses to Subscribe to Plan
 Gales said he called at the Carranza home the next day and said he would not subscribe to the plan and not in ar will electoral nr0cR66lHOS. He said he told Carranza he was for General Obregon and warned the Mexican president of the danger of pursuing the alleged policy. Gales
