Ryan Plans to
Drive In Stutz
Shorts Monday
Broker Said to Have Decid-
ed to ''Buy In'' Dealers
Caught in Corner and
Can't Deliver Securities
Remick Issues Statement
President of Exchange Says
Threat Was Made to Put
the Price Up to $1,000

Allan A. Ryan will make an attemp
next Monday to "buy in" the shorts il
Stutz Motor, according to Wall Stree
reports yesterday. 1t is understood tina
he will act through three Stock Elk
change firms with which he has hae
dealings.
The process of buying in" short
interest in stock is the usual course
pursued when the shorts, after being
asked to make delivery, have failed te
do so. Mr.. Ryan, it is understood
made known his intention Of driving
in the shorts yesterday. Buying in, )
according to Wall Street interpreta.
ton, is equivalent 70 fixing a price
which the shorts must pay for stock
to deliver.
A governor of the exchange said
yesterday that the ruling of the gov.
erning committee affecting contracts
made before March 81 still held. Which
is to say that the shorts may resist
demands upon them for delivery OF
Stutz stock until a settlement price has
been fixed either by arbitration or in
the courts.
For the first time since the develop
mehts leading to the Stutz cor
ner came to light, the Stock Exchange
in statement issued last night ex-
planned in detail why it suspended
March 81. This statement, which was
issued by William H. Remick. presi-
dent of the exchange, told how
Mr.. Ryan came before the business
conduct committee and admitted that
the shares Of the Stutz company had
been cornered and submitted corrobo-
rative details indicating that he owned
$4,000 shares, and that he and his
family, friends and immediate associ-
ates owned or had contracts for the
delivery of 10000 shares, or 10000
shares more than the total capital
stock Of the company.
The statement also related that al
meeting with the business conduct
committee on the morning of March 81
Mr.. Ryan Informed the exchange body
shorts at $3.50 q share. Mr.. Remick
explained that the exchange itself haG
no power to settle the outstanding
contracts or name the terms on which
settlement might be made.
Ryan's Proposition Rejected
At a joint meeting of the business
COHQuSC COii fIIIC CtcC Cuc law COII-
mittce of the exchange in the after
noon of March 81 Mr. Ryan, according
to Mr.. Remick's statement, gave $500
as his settlement figure.
"He was informed then" said Mr.
Remick. "that even in case of settle
ment the question must be raised
whether the stock must not be stricken
from the list, because it was not suf.
ficiently distributed to provide free
and open market. He at once declared
that unless he was assured that the
stock would be allowed to remain or
the list he would not settle for $500
and that his settling price might be
S 900 or more.
"The business conduct committee anc

facts to the governing committee, anc

Noted Russians
Dead ON Yacht
In Red Tragedy
Eleven Men and Women of
Famous Families Found
Shot in Head, With No
Living Person on Board
Abandon Millions in Gold
Rumanians Investigate Mys-
terry, Believed To Be a
Crime of the Bolsheviki

BUCHAREST, April 3.-The discov-
cry on the Yacht Ostara, stranded at
Sulinaon, one of the mouths of Dan
ube, Of the dead bodies of eleven noted
Russian men and women, each shot
through the, head, and not living
soul on board, has presented the Ru-
manian authorities one of the most
mysterious tragedies of Bolshevsm in
identified as those of members of the
noted Russian families of Falzfein and
Skadowki.
The discovery was made by soldiers
who, when they went aboard the help
less yacht, found the cabin half filled
with water and the eleven bodies float
ing around. On board the yacht were
100000 rubles in gold and paper and
jewels.
The elder Falzfein still grasped a
pistol in his hand when his body was
found, and whether the party COM
mitted suicide or were murdered is a
question that remains unanswered.
Fled Estates in Russia
An investigation is being made by the
Rumanian authorities, aided by Russian
friends Of the two families. All that
is known is that the two families fled
their estates to Odessa, and when the
Bolsheviki arrived there in February
put their belongings on board the
Ostara,' which was then towed by a
stanza. The tow ropes broke several
times, owing to severe storms, and
finally the yacht lost the steamer alto
gether and proceeded to Constanza.
The refugees were refused permis-
sion to land.
1t is believed, as result of the in
vestigation SO far made, that after the
yacht lost it's tow it drifted at the
mercy Of the storm, and the refugees

hausted from the cold waves breaking

made a despairing effort to put her
ashore on the desolate beach near
Sulina. There they succeeded in
launching small boats, but Rumanian

no landing through fear of the Boshe-
wiki, ordered them to return to the

From the welter of discomfort, in

a new union has been born. 1t is a de-

Alfred E. Marling, president of the
New York State Chamber Of Commerce
who conceived the scheme of "Citi-

terday to put it into effect, said last
night that after the present strike was
disposed of the organization would be
perfected and made permanent. The
call for volunteers was issued yester-
day and before evening almost thou
sand members had been enrolled. The
response to the appeal for amateur
trainmen had been so gratifying that
Mr.. Marling last night issued this
statement:
"Even though the present strike should
be settled in the next few days, as we
all hope it will, the program mapped
out by the chambers executive com
mittee of organizing the public into a
so-called protective union will be car
ried out. A very gratifying response
has been made to this proposal, and it
shows me temper of the public. The
public's interest in the present con-
troversy is far greater than that of
the outlaw organization or the brother
hoods, and the time is ripe for form
ing those who are willing and able
into a reserve force which will see to
it that the service Of our railroads con-
tinues uninterrupted.

PARIS, April 16.-Bclshevik upris-
ings in northern Italy, which have
blocked railroad traffic in that region
and which are being combated by the
Rome government with troops, are re-
ported in dispatches received here to-
day.
According to one report a body of
troops, reinforced with armored cars,
has been sent to put down revolt
among the agricultural population in
the Ruvo region near Adria. The dis
patch said that the peasants in that
district had seized more than a thou
sand acres of land, planning to dis
tribute it eommunistically, and refused
to surrender it to the owner.
Social Revolt Predicted
According to Bolshevik boasts quoted
in the dispatches, the social revolution
which they expect to start in all coun-
tries has already begun in small way
in Italy with these disturbances.
Little news Of developments in the
unsettled area has been received here
and all the dispatches are meager. 1t
is said that in addition to the move
among the agriculturists to take pos
session of large acreage, the employees
Of factories in the affected area are
showing Bolshevik tendencies. Numer-
Gus plants and other establishments
have been taken over by the radical
workmen, according to the reports, and
they are continuing their operation for
the benefit of the workers under local
soviet system.
1t is said that the Rome govern
ment is fully aware of the state of
things in the north, but has been un-
willing to intervene with force FIR
fear. of precipitating even worse
trouble. Premier Nitti has adopted
what he considers the wisest method
of dealing with the radicals, which is
to make an attempt to remove the cause
OF uprisings by improving the general
condition Of the country.
Coal Sells at $3.50 a Ton
The difficulty of living in Italy under
many ADVERSE cOnQltlonS, 1ncludlng the
high rate of foreign exchange, may be
judged from the fact that coal in Italy
costs something like $3.50 ton at the
normal rate of exchange.
The disturbances in Northern Italy,
combined with the strikes, prevented
the departure from Paris last night of
Robert Underwood Johnson, the new
United States Ambassador to Italy,
VINO had made all PREPARATIONS to start
Tor Rome. At the last moment, after
AL his luggage had been taken to
the railroad station. Mr.. Johnson was
warned by telephone that it would be
dangerous for him to attempt to make
the trip by rail at this time.
The disturbances also prevented
Premier Nitti. who had been in Paris,
from going to the San Reno confer
tnce by rail, as he had planned. He
was compelled to take passage on an
Italian destroyer.

Straw hats are going up this year, it
was said yesterday at the convention of

Hat Manufacturers Of America at the

The reason straw hats would cost
