Plenty of Sugar,
Says Leader.

Candy and potatoes are in line for a
boycott by Washington housewives.
Scarcity of sugar is cited as the cause
for the banning Of the former and ex-
cessively high prices in the case OF the
latter commodity.
The board of directors of the Women.s
City Club. an organization with 5000
Washington women on its membership
rolls. will take up at a meeting tomor-
ow night the question of instituting a
systematic boycott on candy in order to
relieve the sugar shortage and bring
down prices.
A special investigating committee will
at the same time be named to investi-
gate the high price on potatoes and re-
port back for future action
Would Use Consuners' Power.
Announcement to this effect was
made last night by Miss Mary O'Toole.
president of the club. Through the
cooperation of Washington house,
wives. holding the club of purchasing
power over the vendor of commodi-
ties, it is planned to conduct an active
campaign against the high cost Of
these products in particular.
Il think 1t Is terrible the way house
wives have to be made the goat.
said Miss O'TooIe. Candy manu-
facturers and beverage producers
have all the sugar they need, while
housewives have the hardest time
getting a pound or two OF sugar.
| Something will have to be done. The
| housewives are tired of being buf-
| feted about and are ready to take
drastic measures to combat the pres
ent high prices"

housewives are compelled to pay for

RYAN DEAL Wins
BROKER $1,65o,0())
Advocates Stock Exchange
Reforms After Ending
Controversy.

NEW YORK. April "a (by the As
sociated Press).-Allan A. Ryan, son
of Thomas Fortune Ryan, is estimate
to have added $780, 900 to his wealth
today. when fifty-eight other brokers
agreed to pay him $3.50 share for
stock Of the Stutz Motor Car Com
pany, which they had sold short at
prices ranging from 100 to 391.
He and protective committee rep
resenting the short interests signed
an agreement ending q controversy
which has furnished the greatest SEN
sation in recent years on the New
York Stock Exchange.
The controversy began on March 81,
when the exchange suspended trading
In Stutz after the price had been
jumping rapidly under shorts efforts
to cover. There followed charges and
counter charges, In which Ryan ac-
cused members of the board OF gov
ernors of being short in the stock and
in which other members of the ex-
change accused him of Jhaving an IL
legal corner. which would prevent
him from enforcing the usual obliga-
tion Of broker to deliver stock he
has sold.
stock Taken to Curb.
Ryan denied having corner, and said
that. as chairman of the Stutz directo-
rate. he had acted to protect stockhold-
ers against raiders. He took Stutz off
the exchange to the curb, where it sold
as high as $3.50, and he resigned from the
exchange.
The exchange has not acted on Ryan's
resignation nor his request that his seat
be sold. Street opinion was that no ac-
ton would be taken. and that Ryan
, would continue to be a member. No ex-
lpectation is entertained. however, that
Ryan will seek to have Stutz restored
to trading on the exchange
In a statement issued tonight, RYAN
said:
Il am more gratified because the set
| tiement recognizes the validity of the
stock exchange contracts than I am by
reason of the settlement of the figures.
The inviolability of these contracts 1 re-
gard as the corner stone of our whole
| commercial and financial structure.
Sees Faults In Stock Exchange.
The Stutz incident has served to
| point out certain flaws in the stock ex-
| change system" said Mr.. Ryan.
Never again. he added, SHOULD
| governor be permitted to partic-
ipate in any deliberation. decision or
Judgment upon matter in which
! he or his firm has or represents an
interest, directly or indirectly. This
is reform which the exchange for
itself. it's members and for the thou
sands of people who deal with 1t
should promptly iraugurate and
strictly enforce.
| Also the events of the past few
weeks emphasize the advisability of
placing this gigantic financial insti-
tuition under the same sort of re-
sponsible legal supervision as the
government now exercises over banks
trust companies and insurance COM
panies. There is no proper power
which the exchange enjoys today that
it cannot just as well enjoy IL it he
