CORK, Ireland, April 3o.--An Amer
lean, giving his name as Patrick Gar

of assisting in the organization and
maintenance Of an illegal military
force and with conspiring for the over
throw of the Free State government.
He was taken before District Justice

ment.
Garland was arrested Tuesday when
he arrived at Queenstown aboard the
steamship Adriatic.
Garland's address was given as New
York. The police said that when he
was arrested a mass of republican
correspondence was found concealed
around his waist and that drafts on an
Ulster bank for $4,000 also were found.
The prosecuting counsel regarded
the arrest as of the gravest impor-
tance to the Free State. He said that
the documents found on the prisoner
showed that negotiations were being
carried on in the United States for
the purchase Of machine guns.
The authorities say that attempts of
the kind disclosed in the communica-
tions found on Garland were exceed.
ingly dangerous and that conviction
could be punishable by death.

per cent issues advanced fractionally
to 1925 top prices, with most of the
municipal and railroad obligations

The possibility of fight against
ratification, both in this country and
in France. was assigned as one of the
reasons for the continued selling of
the franc. Foreign exchange dealers
also pointed out that the settlement
itself was not likely to check imme-
diately the flow of capital from
France. which has been responsible
for the troubles of the currency.
