STOCK TRADES
ARE GOVERNED
BY CASH RULE


New York, April 16.-It became
evident before neon today that the
course Of the stock market, like
that Of the preceding session, would
be governed largely by money con-
ditions. Call loans opened at 10
per cent, the highest initial rate in
almost six weeks. The supply was
said to be small, pointing to higher
rates later. With the first signs of
renewed stringency stocks began
to react, standard shares as we'll
as specialties FORGETTING the greater
part Of their q to s point gains.
Speculative sentiment was also af-
fected by further weakness of Lib
erty bonds, the 31ss making a sheer
descent Of 16 per cent.

Protests Quarantine.

TCnited Press Leased Wire Service,1
WASHINGTON, April 6.-GovernorI
Hobby Of Texas today protested!
aga inst the proposal to quarantine
cotton shipments from Texas and
Louisiana.
Quarantine is being considered by
the federal horticultural board be-l
cause of temperance in some sec-
tions of both states of the pink boil
worm.
"If you quarantine Texas" said Hob
by, at a hearing before the board; II
hope you will quarantine me, too, be-
cause / cannot return to Texas untili
this embargo is laid
Judge Gossett, Texas banker, sdp-e
ported overnor Hobby's arguments,
minimizing the dangerous infection
which federal officials contend endan,
ger the entire cotton crop.
Federal officials are expected to lay
partial quarantine in each state des-
pite the protests of the Texas officials.
Secretary OF agriculture Meredith
emphasized the seriousness of the in
fection, stating that it endangered the
cotton growing industry in all states.
"If the infection is allowed to spread
throughout the south the resulting
damage would be beyond imagina-
tion,' he said.

DUBLIN, April 6.-Tension in Dub
lin had increased today following
clashes between soldiers and crowds
in the streets last night.
Troops raided a building in which
the Sim Fein flag was flying. They
arrested four men. In attempting to
remove their prisoners in a military
truck the troops encountered huge
crowds which blocked the street in
all directions.
Soldiers fixed their bayonets and
the trucks proceeded slowly. AS the
crowd pressed forward an armored
automobile following the motor truck
suddenly opened up with a machine
gun, firing into the air. The mob
scattered in all directions.
Minor outbreaks continued in many
parts of the country. Latest figures
placed the total police barracks and
tax Offices destroyed in the Easter
outbreak at $50, in twenty-seven
counties.
At Ballyheigue in County Kerry a
group of armed men fired on Patrick
O'Connel whom they suspected OF
being traitor to the Sim Fein.
O'Connel was wounded. He was
captured and taken into field where
the men ordered him to prepare for
death. They read a charge accusing
him of being a traitor.
O'Connel finally established his
innocence and was released. He was
blinded in one eye.

, to restore order IN the Ruhr valley,
comprising one of the most produc-
tive districts in Germany, embracing
tremendous manufacturing interests
! and coal mines.
On March l5 German government
asked to be allowed to send troops
into the zone which was forbidden
to German armed forces by the terms
of the peace treaty. The request was
denied by France.
The request was renewed on March
II and again rejected. The French
took the position that the communist
revolt had died down and that en-
trance of German troops was not
necessary.
Germany pleaded her cause in
vain, sending a military mission 70
Paris to press the case. Finally Ger
man troops proceeded against the
communists without French consent.
$ French Notification. 4
Premier Millerand on Sunday noti
fed the heads Of the other allied gov
ernments that unless the German
troops were withdrawn at once he
would send French forces into the
Rhine cities opposite the French zone
of occupation centering around the
bridgehead of Mayence.
DR.. Wilhelm Won Mayer, the Ger.
man charge d'affaires in Paris spent
all yesterday trying to get the French
to rescind their decision. He was
told that the situation had passed
into the hands of the military and
that Marshal Foch would assume
complete charge.
Foch as early as last winter had
urged occupation of the entire West
phalian industrial district, declaring
in numerous interviews that France
could be protected in no other way.
Foch ordered General Degoutte. in
command Of French troops at May.
ence to prepare to advance.
The French forces started into
Germany during the night. At five a.
m. today the advance columns had
occupied the important cities OF
Frankfort and Darmstadt. Other
forces were to continue, occupying
additional cities in the district.
The movement was hailed as
Frances decision for full enforcement
of the treaty of Versailles with the
use Of military power.
