ANONYMOUS LETTERS

R. H. Raymer from down near Tex
homa, is on trial, as the Tribune goes
To press. charged with writing a num-
Der of anonymous letters and signing
Ku Klux Klan to them. He is said
to have employed local stenograph-
er, Miss Cecil Edwards, to type the
letters and that young lady testified
substantiating the facts during the
trial A representative of the Bureau
of Investigation for the Klan, H. l..
Perryman, from Atlanta, Georgia,
is here aiding in the prosecution.
The visitor is firm in the conviction
that the writers of all such letters
should be vigorously prosecuted, al
leging his organization does not au-
thorize the writing of such letters and
advises that the Klan is running down
and aiding in the prosecution of indi-
viduals who pull off stunts of that ma
tnre in the name Of the Klan. The
gentleman came all the way from At
lanta to aid in forwarding the prose-
cution. He says that many men have
been arrested and prosecuted all over
the country for pulling off similar
stunts and that the Khan is always
anxious to get such men before the
bar of justice.
The minimum sentence for writing
letters of the kind is a penitentiary
sentence and the jury on the case is
celebrating as the Tribune goes to
press. The visitor from Atlanta says
that the defendant is not member of
the Khan; that he has access to the en-
tire list of membership, and that he
does not want the order discredited
by such methods as are alleged to
have been attempted by the defend
ant now on trial.-Guymon Tribune.

dynamic new element in the financial
situation WAS curiosity regarding tho
effect of the resignation Of the BRAND
Cabinet on the prospects for success
OF the Forthcoming economic confer
encc at Genoa in March. In so far as
France was ready to cooperate in an
attempt to rcadjust the economies of

fear that the retirement of BRAND
might halt what thcy regard as the
adoption Of the inevitable.
Expression OF fear that the rcsigna-
ton might interfere with quick i'm
provoment in European finances was
expressed by q heavy slump in the
value of francs, measured in dollars, in
the foreign exchange market. Francs
declined % points to Sl2 cents With
the exception of the countries that
were neutral during the war, the Con-
tnental exchanges turned easier too.

In the stock market the international

The money situation was reflected
in the highest reserve ratios for both
the whole reserve and the Federal Re
serve Bank of New York since the fall
Of 1917. when war imitation began to
dilute the reserves through the cxpan-
sion of credit outstanding against
them. The statements revealed substan-

amount Of notes outstanding.
The French development was a factor
in wheat prices, closing a4c net lower

chases of 100000 bushels of seed

ration. Cotton quotations. though un-
settled. closed 9 to II points higher.

South American Financing

The government of Argentina has
actively re-initiated discussions with
American bankers regarding the place
ment of an additional loan of $50
100000, with the prospect that an
offering may result within the next
couple Of weeks. The understanding
is that a longterm loan is under CON
sderation. the existing authorization
making s25,Ooo,ooo tlotation of this
character feasible. An sS,0oo.0OO or
sl0.oO0,00o Uruguay loan is also on the
cards. although the bankers here are
without direct advices on the subject
from their representatives at Monte
video, due perhaps to a recent break in
direct cable communication. More in
the background are loan to Peru and
loans to Buenos Ayres and Montevideo.
The municipal issues will probably be
deferred if the government loans ma

Specialties Strong

The greatest advances in yesterday 5
market were in the specialties. some of
which made new highs on the cure mt
movement. Computing. Tabulating &
Recording was in this group touching
63A. or only quarter of point under
the high record price OF 63s4 attained
iii 1919. The strength in the stock was
connected with reports that the COM
pany IN the near future will increase
the dividend rate from 81 to Sc a
share. Invincibe Oil made new higa
for the year at 1879. 1t is reported
that new interests in the company will
be announced shortly. Pierce Oil. pre-
ferred, was another strong feature on
reports that directors after the close
Of the market would announce the re-
sumption of dividend payments After
protracted session, however, it was
stated that the meeting had been post
poned until 2 O'Clock to-day.

Bankers regarded the overthrow Of
Premier BRAND as particularly IN
fortunate at this tim". tending TO en-
danger the prospects Of tho Genoa cor
ference, which was directly a factor in
his resignation. On this score the out
look is not viewed wholly as pcssimls-
tic chance being conceded that the
conference may 20 through AZ sched
uled. 1t is expected that tho Extreme
Right, representing the Poincarc-T Tar
dieu element, will now come into
power and that they VIII be forced to
modify their position. It is ono thing
TO persist in theories when standing as
the opposition and another when di-
recting the administration and con-
frontcd by the facts. The probability
is, therefore. seen that this group Will
recognize that their "bitter-cnd' policy
is impossible, and from it Will emerge
q more united, sancr French attitude
toward Germany and the world at
large. Whether this change can be &C
complishcd prior to March is chief
uncertainty in the situation.

Southern Railway

Directors of the Southern Railway
met yesterday, but took no action re-
garding resumption OF dividend pay
ments on the preferred stock. There
is a growing belief. however. that it
will not be long before stockholders
will again begin to receive distribu-
tioE and recent buying of the shares
is attributed to this expectation. No
dividends have been paid on the pre-
fcrred since last June, owing partly
to the omission of dividends by num-
Der Of subsidiary roads. The company
has S25.OO0,0OO threeyear 6 per cent
gold notes maturing on March /. Conf
derce is expressed that the issue Will
be refunded and application has al
ready been made to the Interstate Com
merce for permission to issue $780,
