SENSATIONAL ADVANCE
 IN STERLING EXCHANGE

New York, March 26.--A sensational advance was made by sterling ex- change in the market today, the rise preceding and following advices of the engagement of gold valued at G4,00O,- 900 in London for shipment to this country. Demand bills rose to s395 and cables went a fraction higher while long time remittances made reactions in the later dealings
 Today's maximum quota ton repre- scented a gain of IA cents from yes terday's high. 16 3-4 cents for the week and an extreme of 77 cents from the low of last month, when interna- tional credits here were .demoralized.,
 Contrary to general expectation, ex- change on France, Italy and other continental European points derived little or no benefit from the better tone of British bills, though they were moderately higher than in the early days of the week
 Francs were quoted at the rate of 14.22 for the American dollar and lira at 1882 These quotations compare with the recent low of 14.S2 for francs and 20.60 for lira, the latter represent ing the lowest point of discount ever recorded here by Italian exchange. i Bankers were without direct know ledge of the impending gold imports They attributed the movement to ar engagements already made to antici- pate, in part at least, payment of the $500, 000 900 Anglo French loan matur- ing next October

NO CRISIS OF ALLIANCES.
 PREMIER MiLLERANDS SAYS

Paris March 2e.-Premier Millerand reply in the chamber of deputies to- day to the interpolation of Former Premier Barthou on Thursday, said: "A crisis of alliances does not exist. There is only the natural give and take of conversation.
 With regard to the Russian soviet government, the premier declared: The allies can only recognize the Russian government when the gov- ernment recognizes national sove- reigntv in acts as well as in words" The French government was prepared to act like the United tates, entering upon commercial and industrial re- lations with Russia without having relatio with the soviet government, the premier said.
 Concerning Turkey, the premier as- serted that the allies wished to ere ate a Turkey whic~ can live, such a Turkey as will not be incompatible with the liberty of the straits, guar anteed by the international organiza- tion nor with the safeguarding of Frances economic and financial in- terests in Turkey
 NJ Millerand read d report on at tacks against English French and Belgian officers in Berlin and Bremen, saying that Marshal Foch had pre- sented a scheme for moral and mate rial. reparations and punishmentss with fresh guarantees.
 pr. Kapp. and later the regular government of Germany, had asked permission to introduce troops into the neutral zone, the premier declar- ed adding: If the allies permitted such derogation of the treaty, what assurance could they have that troops W q restored?" e &
 M Millerand concluded with the following words addressed to Ger many: You say you want to work. 1 do not repel the idea of economic collaboration. 1 already see certain methods. but there is one condition dominating everything-tnat you give proof of your good faith by execut- ing the treaty you have signed. France is magnanimOus, but does uot intend to he a dupe."

resolution next Tuesday under agree ment by the opposition to drop the hostile movement proposed until Wednesday. Republican Leader Ly- ons said action might be taken Tues day by unanimous consent or suspen- sion of the rules, but that probabili- ties were for the vote on Wednesday.
 The weekend respite was hailed with patent relief by the suffragists. An immediate vote by the house, they conceded, would defeat ratification.
 That dangers to ratification lie principally in the house is admitted by suffrage workers. In the senate the gulf between the warning fac tions was smaller according to admis- sions from prominent workers in both The suffragists today claimed a sure majority of the senators, especially should the house first adopt the rati- ncatlon measure. The anti -suff~- g- 1sts, however, pointed to abandonl. mi of the plans for a senate vote today as indicating suffra gist. weakness.

BoRAHS CHARGES AGAINST
 BIG FINANCIAL INTERESTS

Washington, March 26.-A direct charge that big financial interests were trying to buy the national con ventions of both the republican and democratic parties was made in the senate today by Senator Borah. re- publican, Idaho. in a speech advocat- ing congressional action to regulate the pre-convention expenditures of candidates for the presidency.
 Concentrating his attack on the packers of Major General Leonard Wood and Governor Frank o. Lowden for the republican nomination, Sena- tor Borah declared the Wood mana gers were attempting ito control the republican convention by the use of money while the Lowden organiza- ton apparently was spending even greater sums to gain support for their candidate. Within ten days. he pre- dicted, two democratic aspirants. whom he did not name, would be found spending quite as much as any republican in the field.
 The speech brought on a heated de-
 bate during which Senator Moses, re- publican, New Hampshire, manager of General Woods Washington head quarters, made a general denial that excessive funds had been used in the Wood candidacy or that any money had been spent except "legitimatelS and necessarily"

New Haven. Conn. March 26.-The jury in the case of the state against William N. Jones of New Haven, charged with the murder of Mrs. Es- fher Hopcroft of this city on June is last. this afternoon returned a yer dict of not guilty. The jury was out four and a half hours.
 The scene in the courtroom follow ing the announcement of the verdict bx charles Hungerford Of Naugatuck, the foreman of fhe jury. was the most demonstrs tive ever witnessed in New Haven Judge Gardiner Greene ordered the room cleared Of spectators when great shout of approval of the verdict was uttered as soon as the words or mot guilty were spoken and it- took the combined efforts of High Sherifr Thomas L. Reilly and three deputies to follow out the judges com uosad. Jones who had masataIned an attitude Of indifference turing the month of the trial received the yer diet without a smile.
