ACTIVE STEPS ARE
 NOT ANNOUNCED YET

the rebel leaders to close Tampico to American commercial vessels, despite the warning against such action trans mitted to Adolfo de la Huerta by Sec retary Hughes.
 The impression prevailed when the cabinet went into session that some attention was being given to the pos sible necessity of sending ships to back up the warning already given De la Huerta.
 Administration officials are expect ed to issue during the day formal statement Of the governments atti- tude in connection with conditions at Tampico. Whether the announce ment would take the form of a dis closure of orders to naval vessels to proceed to the Tampico region or merely show the purpose of the ad- ministration to protect American commercial craft in their legitimate commerce with .the Mexican ports, was not known.
 At the timethat officials disclosed that De la Huerta was to be warned against interference against American ships in his effort to close the port of Tampico, it was made plain.

STOP SIGNALS ON
 TR0LLEYS FAVORED
Mayor Paonessa Discusses Sub eGt With Supt. ". J. Bryan

The use of automatic stop" lights on all trolley cars operated in the city of New Britain was suggested by Mayor A. M. Paonessa to Superintend- ent William J. Bryan of the Connec- ticut Co., in a conference this morn ing, and the trolley superintendent promised the executive that he would bring the matter before his company for action.
 It has been brought to the mayors attention that trolleys sometimes stop at places other than the regular sta- tions which cause even those &C., quainted with the trolley stops to nar- rowly avoid accidents. The dangers are even greater at night time and when autoists are not familiar with the trolley stations along their route.
 The mayor has discussed the pro- posal he made this morning with a number of automobile operators and others and he finds there is strong sentiment for the attachment of such q device to trolleys.
 Other vehicles, including jitneys, are required to give a signal when coming to a stop or about to make g, turn, but at present there is no such rule regarding trolley cars, hence the mayors suggestion.

FRENCH FINANCES
Premier and Minister of Finance Both Support Proposed Measures at Closed Session of Deputies.


 By The Associated Press.
 Paris, Jan. 18.-Premier Poincare and Finance Minister De Lasteyrie supported the governments drastic financial and economic remedies for the exchange crisis before the finance commission of the chamber of depu- ties today, insisting upon immediate action on the measures introduced yesterday. The premier reiterated his discrimination to take the question of confidence upon the issue. He in- sisted that the policy of balancing the recoverable budget must not be con- strued as the slightest indication that France was renouncing her right to recover money from Germany.
 The members of the commission took occasion to state that the ordi- nary budget already had been bal anced and that they considered the country's economic situation most sat- isfactory, but in order to remove any preteXt for a "defeatist'' campaign against the franc they had decided to begin at once the examination of M. Poincare's program for covering the recoverable budget with real receipts
 The premier said in reply to ques- tions during the hearing, which was behind closed doors, that the govern ment was considering the abolition by decree of the state monopoly in match es and turning the industry over to private enterprises.
