Confscation of Coin in Banks Will Follow Refusal of Terms, Warning Declares-May l Is Time Set
 German Authorities Notified.

Paris, April 19.--The allied repara- tions commission announced today that it had given Germany until April 22 to transfer the gold holdings of the Reichbank, the German imperial bank, to the Coblenz and Cologne branches of the bank. If Germany re- fuses to comply with the ultimatrum the commission, it states will require the mediate delivery of the gold to the commissions itself.
 In the event transfer of the gold to the branches named the sum may con- tinue to figure as part of the balance of the Reichbank, the commission ex- plained, but the German government would have no right to dispose of it without obtaining previous authority from the commission to do so.
 It was semi-officially announced in Berlin Monday night that the repara- tions commission has orally notified German officails that the gold reserve of the Reichbank and other German issuing banks must be deposited be- fore May 1, either in Cologne or Cob lenze as security for separations. The semi-official announcement added that the German government had declared the demand to be unacceptable under any conditions.
 The latest figures on the gold hold ings of the Reichbank contained in the banks statement of April 2, showed that on that date there was 1,091 ,602,000 marks.

objection made by Counsel for defence
for the reason that an investigation was
commenced by the Police nder orders
and direction of District Chief Of Police.
All objections were ovarruled by the
Judge.
Junior Counsel for defence Curry at
this stage asked permission TO have en-
tered upon the record the fact that no
Government Attorney was present at
these proceedings and that the Justice Of
peace has therefore conducted the exam
nation himself.
Further the Counsel for the defence

he makes objection to proceedings mas

fifth and Collins insisted that they and
their colleagues had the power invested
in them to sign an agreement, but not the
authority to conclude it. Mr.. Griffith
asserted that the representatives of the
Dali Eireann and of the British Cabinet
in this respect, were in identical posi-
tions, as each was obliged to refer the
treaty to their respective legislatures for
ratification. Both Mr.. Collins and Mr..
Griffith during the discussion, resented
a statement of Mr.. De Valera that the
delegation to London had not obeyed the
instructions of the Dali Eireann Cabinet.
Il have been called a traitor, exclaimed
Mr.. Collins at one point, "let the Irish
people decide whether | am or not. Elk

crepe and hung from a telephone pole,
the only evidence of propaganda against
ratification of the treaty, outside Uni
held, was by members of the Communist
party in Ireland, who ~endeavoured to
distribute pamphlets urging rejection of
the treaty, but members of the Irish Re-
publican army dispersed them and con-
fiscated their literature.

This House regrets that the proposed set
Element of the Government of Ireland
indicated in the gracious speech from
the throne, would involve the surrender
of the rights of the Crown in Ireland and
give powers to establish an independent
Irish army and navy require further sac
rifces from Ulster and would not safe
guard the rights of the loyalist popula-
ton in Southern Ireland. 1t would des-
troy what was termed the act of Union,
which was a mere technical union exist
ing upon paper only. The agreement
would substitute a union in reality.
Berlin, Dec. 15th.-The Government,
it was announced today, has informed
the Committee Of guarantees that it is
impossible for Germany to pay the sum
due in reparations or January 18th, and
that she consequently asks a moratorium.
If the moratorium is not granted, the
German Government, it states, will be
compelled to have recOurse TO a credit

tomorrow, definitely rejects the invitation
to enter the Irish Free State. 1t
protests against Ulster being involved

being considered. Protest is being made
against what is asserted to be violence
done to the spirit of the 1920 Act, which,
it is declared, was based on equal rights
and provides for the north and south.
1t is contended hat the altered oath
means a lowered standard of loyalty and
is not acceptable to Ulster, while the fis-
cal provisions Of the agreement would
introduce tariff wars with England and
internal disputes in Ireland. For these
and other reasons the Ulster reply says
Ulster will retain her British citizenship
and refuse to subordinate herself to the
Sim Feir. Government. Exceptions are
taken in the reply to a boundary commits

precedent that territory should be re-

DON VENUsTIANos GHOST.

Almost exactly year after the assassination
Of President Venustiano Carranza, which oc-
CURED May 81, 1920. Candida Aguar formerly
foreign minister of Mexico and son-n-aw of the
slain president, was arrested in Texas WedneS-
day charged with violating the passport law
When arraigned before the United States
commissioner at Maria Aguilar is said to have
admitted that he crossed into Mexico near
Eagle Pass, Texas March a. for the purpose
of starting uprising against the present gov
eminent of Mexico. He declared that he felt 1t
his duty to avenge the death of his fathcr-n-law.
Since Carranza done to death in little
hut in the Indian village of TlaXcalantongo, Pu-
ebla the responsibility for the deed has consti-
tuted one of the unsolved mysteries of modern
Mexican history; and, incidentally it has been
the greatest handicap that the Obregon govern
ment has had to overcome in it's efforts to win
the recognition of the rest of the world.
We have already referred in these columns
to some OF the circumstances connected with Car
ranzas death, of which facts came to on:
notice from first hand, observation. We have
told of the bullet.mark in the hut, which indi-
Gated that the assault on the aged leaders Ito
was a premeditatcd affair, directed by a person
or persons familiar with the exact position Of
Carrana's recumbent body. We have pointed out
that for months the directly responsible for
the Acknowledgement Rodolfo Herrero-was al
lowed. the full liberty of Mexico City We have
rocounted some of the ugly rumors about a man
higher up" aB being the real instigator; and,
finally, we have quoted the admissions of some
of the leaders of the DE La Huerta government
that they were dissatisfied with the manner in
which the investigation into Caranzas death
was Deing conducted
Yet nothing definite has been accomplished
The person who is really to blame for tho
assassination today is neither known nor punished
And until the cuprit is exposed and is pun
ished the ghost of Don Venustiano will continue
to threaten the peace OF the unfortunate coun-
try to whose Iuckless condition he SO materially
contributed. ...,...

HOTEL BUILDING SEASON.

From every indication. this is hotel building
season Santa Fc and Las Vegas have de-
cded and Albuquerque must build II large modern
structure to keep up with the pace
New Orleans will be right in line. That beau
tiful city Of the south has decided that it will
erect the Hotel Panama, which is to be seventeen
stories high and possess every modern CONVENE
cnce.
Other towns are following suit. Everywhere
in the United States, the symbol of new deter
mination is hotel building campaign.
This lends particular importance to the project
of the Albuquerque Hotel company. 1t is bad
enough to hold back when other towns are not
building. 1t is suicide to fail to build when
others do.
If there is to be another campaign for an
additional $4,000, is the time for every
real booster in Albuquerque to begin training for
the drive. 1t simply must go The crisis
is too acute for Albuquorqueans to fail down. We
must keep step with progress.
