fear of prosecution. This is what
Judge John d. Humphries, of the
Fulton superior court ruled At the
trial Of a city detective charged
with having stolen liquor from a
self-confessed bOotlegger. The
Judge ruled that liquor has no le-
gal status and can not be pro-
tected by the laws, consequently
one can not be arrested for steal
ing it. He said that the owner of
liquor might prosecute as viola
ton OF the prohibition law but
not for having stolen property.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

All through the week there was dull
ness in the exchange market. Yester-
day transactions were extremely infre-
quent. The dollor's premium over Euro
pean currencies was enhanced consist
ly through moderate declines of the
foreign exchanges each day. The pres
prssur of stirling grain bills on the
maket was felt.
The exchange reflected, too, opera
tions preparatory to the huge next pay
ment of German reparations. The Ger
mon government on August 81 must
pay the Allies sls5,00o,000, but the
transfer need not be in dollars De-
spite the greater freedom as to the
method many exchange experts are of
the opinion that Germany will find it
advisable te make the larger share of
the payment in dollars
There is, however, more time for prep
aration than there was last month,
and, as result Of the gradual build
ing market, is likely to be less pre-
cipitate
If youc alculate the cost Of the dol
lar in terms Of foreign money or cur
rem exchange values--that is, if you
were buying a dollar with pounds
marks or francs-its value at the close
of last week, compared with a year
ago follows:

IMPROVEMENT in the South

Business conditions in the South are
showing signs of gradual improvement,

of the Louisville g. Nashville Railroad.
Crops are beginning to move through

ing the roads in that territory addi-
tional tonnage. eceipts from passenger
travel on the L. & N. are off only a
per cent, Mr. Mapother declared, al
though freight revenues are now 80
per cent below normal. Crop diveYsi-
iication is being preached by the immi-
grafton and land department of the
company, both through field workers
and literature, whic his distributed to
farmers along the lines of the system
According to Mr.. Mapother, more coal
was transported by the company in
May of this yea rthan in any other
May in the history of the road and
June is expected to show the SAM
ratio of increase when the records are
compiled. Despite the present period
of depression the Louisville & Nash
vile is spending $35,000,o00 in i'm
provements and betterments, of which
$15,0O0,000 is for new equipment.

Slight Turnover E,lro-
pean Exchanges Con-
tinue Their Slump

! Although the gong at the Stock Elk
change sounded at the opening and the
closing yesterday with the usual
sclemnity, dealings in securities were
scarcely frequent enough to constitute
a market. Uncertainty of the immcdi-
ate speculative outlook and an attitude
of non-intercourse on the part of the
outside public have restricted activity
| all through the week, but yesterday,
even traders, whose business it is to
maintain continuous flow Of quota
tions when outsiders remain away,
were in fairly large numbers attracted
from, the market place by the com
petition of alluring midsummer
weather for the weekend.
Relatively few securities were dealt
in, and prices changed were insiAnifi-
cant for the most part. The two hour
session was the dullest Of the year thus
far.

some of the industrials whereas the
average of the rails were a shade
easier, possibly rejecting news dis
patces from Cleveland to the effect
that an undercurrent of dissatisfac-
ton among railroad workers over the
July wage cut might lead to cessa-
| ton Of work.
The same inertia prevailed in the
other financial markets. The European
exchanges, on ligt trading, continued
to rscede in value, expressed in terms
of American currency.
Under the favorable stimulus Of re-
ports Of Improvement in the goods
market, cotton quotations gained from
6 to Is points. On the other hand,
wheat prices which had been dull all
week declined, losing from cent to
~ cents bushel. The setback was
due partly to profit taking and in part
to reports of liberal deliveries against
July contracts next week.

The wisdom of preventing the COM

SIX months has been proven beyond
question, according to Goodbody & Co.

probably prevented frightful panic.
Had the banks not taken over and

corporations" the brokerage firm
prices would have been greater than
1t was and business failures would. AL
most surely, have been several tim
greater than ever before By giving
time to adjust themselves to the lower
level of prices, many corporations,
firms and individuals were saved
those that could not adjust themselves.

Tangier Suffers
And Decays; Status
AS City Uncertain
Moroccan Town Has ALI Nat.
ural Advantages but Pow
erty Reigns; Powers Cam
not Determine Ownership

LONDON, June 20 (By Mail) .-Tan-
gier is suffering from the uncertainty
of its status, writes c. Ward Price
from that city to The London Daily
Mail. Well situated to be the outlet
of the rich hinterland of Morocco, and
blessed with bay that forms shell
tered roadstead, Tangier is none the
less moribund, poverty-stricken and in
ert. Where should stretch rows of
warehouses full Of the produce Of
Morocco lies nothing but the empty
sands the Barbary pirates knew. The
reason for this degeneration is simply
that the powers have never been able
to make up their minds who is to have
Tangier. Since 1912 the French have
held the southern portion of Morocco
in the form of protectorate over the
Moorish Sultan, while the northern
coastal. strip was allotted to Spain. But
Tangier was the big apple put on one
side to be shared under q complicated
scheme of international control known
rs the Tangier Statutes.
We signed these and so did the
French, but the war started before the
Spanish signed, and they did not care
pens that Tangier still remains No
Mans Land, under the nominal suze-
rainty Of the Sultan of Morocco, but
with host Of foreign diplomats, con-
suls, officials of the public debt, the
sanitary council and the port, all lost
ling each other in the little town. in
triguing, obstructing, treading on each
others national corns, and scheming,
most OF them, to get as big a share Of
the administration as possible, in the
nope, some day, of being able ultimate
ly TO annex the place.
Under this pooh-bah administration
Tangier quite naturally decays. No
one will put money into town that is
run by squabbling committee and
whose future is utterly uncertain. The
local popuiation, once prosperous, is
now poor. But more serious still is the
sanger that the French and Spanish on
xhe spot in Tancier, belonging to the
Two countries which especially covet
possessio of the port, may one day
oreak out into open hostilities.
FOR Tangier is all ready to boil over
on the slightest provacation. The
French believe they ought to have the
town because the Sultan, it's suzerain.
is under their protection; the Spaniards
claim it because their zoae funs all
round the place; the local Moors them
selves say they would like it to be
British, and the British recommend
that it shall be internationalized with
q proper system of control instead of
ths confusion of authority that pre-
walls at present.
No attempt to fix the destinies Of
Tangier has been made, however, since
before the war, and it will not be at
all surprising If some day soon Tangier
calls attention to herself by an out
break of "regrettable local incidents"
which it will need another whole series
of international conferences to settle.

Midcontinent Producers Favor Oil Tariff

The Midconflnent OIL and Gas As
ISOLATION, through William n Davis,
it's pres dent. has addressed letter
TO President Harding outlining further
its arguments in favor of the proposed
import dtuies on fuel and crude oils.
The letter is the result of President
Harding's recent communication to
Chairman Fordney Of the House Ways
and Means Committee expressing OPP
position to the tax. Mr.. Davis points
out that domestic production is sufh
cient for this country's needs and for
it's export business and that, mainly
due to the imports of 100000 bar
rels month from Mexico, the price
of domestic crude oil has dropped 10
per cent since January. This drop,
Mr.. Davis states, must shortly cause
the abandonment of many small pro-
ducing wells, which he believes will be
a calamity. He says that the indepnd
ent oil producers do not seek to have
the duty made a permanent tariff fea-
ture, but do ask that Congress ex-
tend to the industry the same protec-
ton against the dumping Of foreign
goods that it may accord to other
lines of business
