sioners in restricting these for hire"
machines to designated hack stands,
thereby, preventing them from driv-
ing slowly around blocks in the con-
gested section is believed to have
prompted the formation of an or
ganiZation.

cooperation between the hack own
ers and the Commissioners in the
hope Of obtaining better operating

MODERN MOSES OF STOCK MARKET MAY LEAD FINANCE FROM VALE OF UNEASINESS
Vaguely Fathered Prediction Made That Dictator Who Can Combine Fneness Of Mays With Fearlessness of a Dawes Will Assume Control Of Curb In Quest Of NormalcY

s100.0o0,000 mark in two years.
 Confidence in the three stock eX- changes seemed badly undermined Monday. In the New York Stock EX- change alone there was drop of over 100000 shares in the total sales as compared with the business a year ago this day. Mondays sales tota1ed 65o,000 shares: on June Il, 1922, they tGtaled 1,6So,ooo shares. Timidity Of Clients Hurt.
 What hurt the streets general issimos during the day was not the growing activity of probes, the back wash of the Fuller, Jones & Baker. Winkelman and Wolf failures, but the timidity of clients in their deal ings with houses traditionally as re- liable as the United states treasury. Cancellations of orders and withdraw als of accounts continued to pour in all day, even in the best houses.
 To recover the public's confidence. the three stock exchanges-the New York. the Consolidated and the Curb may combine in forming a commit tee of prominent financiers to stabi- lize methods and scrutinize business delinquencies that might result in a recurrence of the present furry. This plan was indorsed by several lead CTS who have access to the throne room of the street.
 The work of the four or five sets of investigators who are mopping up after the series of failures was fla cilitated when Judge Bondy ordered the l.. L. Winkelman company and the M. Wolfe company. the latest vic tlms. to surrender their books inn mediately to their receivers. This action grew out of a suggestion by District Attorney Joab Banton.

It so informed customs officers in new instructions tonight, issued, an official declared, that further misunderstanding with foreign governments may be avoided.
 The French government, through it's embassy here, had suggested to the treasury during the day that each member of the crew of the liner France, in New York harbor, should be allowed to have his wine ration of one-half a litre day. as required by the French law, inasmuch as the ship had left her home port prior to June 10, the effective date of the regulations. Embassy officials took the position. treasury officials said that after the liquor stores of vessel had been sealed by customs authorities. the former practice of wine rations should be followed on this trip.
 Liquor Must Re Sealed.
 Some representation was said to have been made by the embassy that an understanding had been reached that such practice would be permit charge of prohibition. immediately called the officers of the prohibition unit together to trace the statement credited to them, but was unable to find anyone who would admit having made it.

NEW YORK, June 11.-Out of the uneasy welter that hit Wall street Monday, with reputable brokerage houses suffering runs from their cus- toners for the sins of their bankrupt colleagues, emerged the vaguely fathered prediction that a dictator of the stock market, Will Hays Of the Ticker. will be chosen to lead the fi- nancial bloc out of the wilderness.
 This Moses must combine the fi- nesse of Hays with the fearless az gressiveness of a General Dawes and the orthodox business impeccability of an Otto Kahn, the prediction speci- fled; and the prophet mentioned a former attorney general cf New York as an ideal blend of these vir- tues.
 Yet this scheme, which has aided the nervous system of the movies and stimulated the wan petticoat indus try, did not appeal at all to the big schemes of the street whose ears it reached Monday.
