FINANCIAL TENSION HITS
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

CHICAGO, April 24.-Rig setbacks
in the value of grain and provisions
have resulted this week fronA indica-
tions of severe financial strain Com
pared with a weak ago, corn prices
this morning were 3n to 6b down.
oats were OF u to 24 and provisions
lower 81 to 1.95.
All deliveries of corn. oats, rye and
barley were at about high record
prices for the season, when suddenly
;he corn market was swept by an
avalanche of selling. The pressure to
get rid of holdings and to seize ad-
vantage from the break in prices
went far beyond ordinary limits be-
fore traders began to regain their
equilibrium and to be guided even
partly by influences other than the
violent changes of securities in New
York.
Active export demand for wheat
and rye helped to a material extent
at this juncture to restore compare
tive confidence on the part of bulls in
the corn market, later, however. the
bearish effect Of unusual weakness
in New York stocks became again
the ruling factor and to a great <x-
tent once more fiattened out the buy

.STUTz CAR STOCK
SHORTS SETTLE UP
Payments Made to Allan A.
Ryan at Rate of $3.50
a Share.

NEW YORK. April "a (SpeciaD.-
Wall Street spectators who sold that
which they did not possess. namely,
$500 shares of Stutz Motor Corporation
stock, and have been squirming for the
last two weeks in an effort to escape
the penalty. stepped up to the captains
office-in this case the office of Allan
A. Ryan, son of J. Fortune Ryan. old
time cheftain in the stock trade-and
settled through the payment of $3.50 a
share. the total being arrived at by
allowing si25 a share for the stock, $S5
a share for 30 per cent stock dividend
and $40 a share additional for delays.
Phenomenal Rise in Price.
When the stock was eliminated from
the trading list of the New York ex-
change by the action of the governors
en- the claim that corner existed
and that Mr.. Ryan was aware of the
fact. the stock had risen in few
days from 500 share to 1891 a
share. With the subsequent stock
dividend declaration, etc, it sold up
to 500 at the auction rooms and on
the curb.
A protective committee was formed.
headed by Charles A. Morse. in the
interest of fiftv-eight stock exchange
houses who We're hit by the cyclonic
action of the stock. Sharp exchange
of notes with pertinent comment
passed back and forth between the
committee and Mr.. Ryan. the latter
being charged with having deliber-
ately managed to corner the stock.
while he replied that he had simply
protected the shares of the company
from gang of raiders who had at
tempted to beat the price down"
Reluctant to Resort to Courts.
Wall street. personifying the New
York Stock Exchange interests. does
not like to resort to the courts No
one knows just what a court action
might lead to. and the street has an
Unborn dislike for airing its troubles.
Therefore when Mr.. Fortune de-
cided to go to court, first buying in at
the auction rooms the stock for the
amount of whom it might concern =
as basis for fixing his damages. the
protective committee made up it's coll
lcctiye mind to Settle--which Mr..
Ryan. although apparently reluctant
TO acquiesce. was probably glad to do
and the result is that there will be no
public exposition of the stock exchange
affairs.
The amount involved is said to be
81 500. 900. which the fifty eight firms
have paid. or agreed to pay. and
" hich Mr.. Ryan and his associates
will absorb with a satisfaction while
the famous Stutz case goes down in
the annals of the exchange as a rec
ord. although it was directly reSpon-
sible for the removal of StutZ shares
from the trading list and for Mr..
Ryan's retirement from the exchange.
Whether these matters are to he re-
stored to status quo remains to de-
velop.

STOCKS OPEN FIRM,
BUT CLOSE EASIER
Considering Weeks Decline
Rally Was Feeble-Some
T. Strong Points.

NEW YORK. April 24.-The closing
session Of the week furnished very
feeble rally following five sessions OF
drastic liquidation. and one from
which the bull element, whipped In
every struggle during the week. could
not draw much comfort.
A few shorts covered their con-
tracts as usual at the week end. sim
ply as precaution against any
fortunate development over Sunday
and yet there were few who consld-
cred that conditions in the early part
of next week would offer any i'm
portant change.
With such heavy decline in the
active leaders it was to be expected
that the handsome profits in sight
demand attended to. close observers
admitted that there was little power
back of new buying.
ProfessiOnaIs Against IndustrinlS.
Professional sentiment was against
the industriaIs, and four-fifths of the
trading from day to day is confined to
motors oils steels, equipments and
sugars, all leaders in the industrial
group.
With any disposition of the rallies
to fall short of pronounced results,
as evidenced in most of today's ac-
tion it is more than likely that the
bears will draw sufficient encoura se-
ment to warrant further attacks on
the list.
In many quarters there is feeling
that the great readjustment is at
hand, that the beginning OF the end
of high prices. great profits and oar
rageous prices is not far of.

Smith of New York. He would have
section II so amended as to include
among debts affected by discharge in
bankruptcy, liabilities for compensa-
ton to an injured workman or his
dependents awarded pursuant to the
workmen's compensation law or by
az similar law Of any state or terri
tory.
employers coming under the act
are required by the workmen's COM
pensation laws of most of the states
to carry compensation insurance COW
ering their employees" Representa-
tive Smith explained. "The failure to
carry workmen's compensation insur-
ance in New York state is punisha BILE
as misdemeanor. Notwithstanding
this penalty and the fact that the law
has been in force five years. thousands
of employers fail to safeguard their
workmen with this insurance, and
consequently when an award is made
against them for compensation they
are unable to make good. In cases
of death this evasion of the law means
suffering for the dependents of the
deceased workman"

TAX COMMISSION
TALKS ON H. c. L.

Carson, Jan. 13.-The high cost OF
living entered into the discussion at
the meeting of the Tax Commission
yesterday and the value of beef on
the range and on the butchers block
had quite a sitting.
1t was shown hat in Ely. where a
company shop has been established
that the price of beef to the consum-
ers has dropped fifty per cent. The
same instance was cited in Virginia
City where following the strike, a
community shop was established and
the people have been able to secure
their meats approximately fifty per
cent lower than before.
While there was no suggestion as
to a general adoption of such means
to beat the H. c. L., all the members
agreed that 1t was a problem that
needed adjustment throughout the
State.

NEVADA ROADS
DIRECTOR FIRED
Governor Removes Official After
Dispute Over Reno-Carson
City Highway

Reno, January 11.-W. b. Alex
ander. chairman-director of the Me-
vada Department of Highways, has
been removed by Governor Boyle as
an "obstructionist" in the prosecu-
ton of Nevada's good roads pro-
gramme. according to an announce
ment by the Governor to-day.
This action followed persistent re-
fusal on Alexander's part to follow
the Governors wishes with respect to
the selection of a route for the pro-
posed Reno-Carson City paved high
way, a portion of which already Is
under construction, with n unit
completed. Recently the Highway
Commissioners decided to build the
road along the east side of Washoe
lake.
This was followed by a concerted
and spirited protest on the part of a
large group of taxpayers and proper
ty owners. The Governor urged
reconsideration of the Commissions
decision, pointing out that the West
Side route would provide more eco
nomical and scenic advantages. The
controversy which followed crystal
lied in the removal of Alexander by
the Governor.
Exercising his prerogative under
the law to take such action without
filing charges or stating cause, Gov
ernor Boyle said Alexander's success
o will be a man in sympathy with
the West Side project.

Federal authorities in the enforce

ment made by Governor Boyle.
The reorganization plans include
the maintenance of an active force
in the field at all times, but lack Of
funds will make It impossible to in
crease the number of men in the or
g~anization. the Governor says. The
appropriation made by the last Legis-
lature was intended suficient to keep
eight men In the field. but the strike
disorders, particularly in Nye Coun-
ty, cut a great hole in the fund.
A conference will be held within
the next week or ten days, the Cover
nor said. between himself, Superin-
tendent Heurichs of the State Police
and Federal authorities to agree
upon a cooperative policy. 1t will
be the policy of the State, the Cover

dances. All lights extinguished in
