BE USED IN DRY FIGHT
Newton Says Only GoUernor
Can Issue Equipment.

ALsANv. April ia section OF the
State military law quoted to-day by
Attorney General Newton. in response
to a query from New York city. was
believed TO forbid the issuance OF any
of the States military equipment to
others than members of the State mill
tary organizations. The query was
whether Adjt. Gen. kincaid had au-
thority to lend machine guns and ar
mored cars for a campaign against rum
smugglers on the Canadian border. The
section of the law quoted also appears
to vest in the Governor alone the pau-
thority for the issuance of military
equipment.
When the attention of the Governor
was called to the new aspect apparently
given the case the Governor made this
comment:
"As you have observed. am very
busy with serious matters and I have
until Saturday night to finish the Sc
rious matters. After that ] will talk, II
/ have tho time, about less serious
things"

Credit Greatly relaxed.

The almost phenomenal expansion in
Liberty bond trading yesterday sales
being more than three times as great
as in the preceding day. was occasioned
by the ability OF the Treasury Depart
ment to raise $150.000.0 900 through the
sale OF certificates Of indebtedness bear
ing only 3ia per cent. coupon. This
rate compared with a Az per cent. cou-
pom on the previous offering OF Treasury
certificates and brought to the attention
of the financial community and to in
vestors all over the country the fact that
the money and credit market has not
only experienced great relaxation but
that further declines in interest rates
were likely.
Call loans on the Stock Exchange yes
terday, after renewing at Az per cent.
or II OF ! per cent. lower than on the
previous day. dropped to per cent. AMI
funds were in abundant supply at that
level notwithstanding the great activity
in securities. In the "outside market
some loans on call were negotiated as
low as 3I5 per cent Under these cir
cumstances and with Liberty bonds SELL
ing to yield per cent. or higher and In
addition enjoying tax exemption privt-
leges giving them additional value to
largo investors, the scramble to pur-
chase war bonds at what appeared to be
the last opportunity to get them at
discount was hardly surprising.
The New York Federal Reserve Bank
made no change In its rediscount rate
yesterday afternoon. although the pres.
ent Az per cont. figure is out OF linz
with open market rates. Tho impression
in the financial district Is that bankers
are arbitrarily holding the rate UP lest

sive speculation again.
