TORYAN CREDITORS
Referee Arranges Settlement
Following Collapse After
Stutz Corner.

NEW YORK. December 16.-Cred-
itors, who filed claims aggregating
about 100000 against Allan A.
Ryan, whose corner of StutZ stock in
Wall Street in 1920 was followed by
bankruptcy two years later, will be
paid about IS cents on the 500, under
an order drawn up today by Peter 3.
Olney, jr., referee in bankruptcy.
The Guaranty Trust Co., in which
Thomas Fortune Ryan, the operators
father, is heavily interested, is to re-
ceive $7,S16 in settlement of "a claim
of $4,202,49 The Chase National
Bank is to be paid $3,s4s for claim of
$2,06S,S30 Many of Mr.. Ryan's
friends also will receive comparatively
small amounts on their claims, Sam
uel Untermyer. his counsel, $83.70 on
a bill for $4,000, and Charles NJ
Schwab $3.50 for . claim Of $339,210.
All of the claims settled were unse-
cured. Ryan's liabilities were listed
originally as $32,435.477, but much Of
this secured by stock deposited as col
lateral. The operator was successful
in cornering the Stutz market and
ran the price of the stock up to 500
share, but he incurred the animosity
of influential men in Wall Street and
later fell into financial difficulties,
forcing him to pledge his Stutz stock
and other securities at much less than
their inflated value.

LONDON, April 5.-The Riffs are
without power to carry on tnelT
war with France and Spain anu
are anxious for peace.
This is the declaration OF ADDER
Krim, the Riff leader, in letter
to the Times and puD-
lished over his signature.
I'VE have exerted every effort,
said Krim, Sin communicating WITH
the French and Spanish authorities
over and over again, and every
time they meet US in their pride
and their egoisn1, Interpreting our
purposes contrary to their real
intention.
we are the weaker side and
have no power to carry on war or
resist for long, and so they charge
us at times with weakness and at
other times as having suffered de-
feat and this whenever we make
any communication to them or show
any inclination for peace.
This has astonished us. And
when we continue to follow the
path OF peace-thereby seeking our
rights justly and impartiaiIy-they
accuse US OF being barbarianS and
of loving war and bloodshed.
"Our intentions are sincere. We
never write to our opponents or
send them any communication ex-
cept what we conscientiously and
feel. We are sincere In
all this. We know nothing of poll
tics or intrigues or roguery, but
our opponents are masters of those
things. They do not understand
any ways but those of the fox, and
this brings about misunderstand-
ings on every occasion.
I'VE demand nothing but our
rights and we defend nothing be-
yond what we consider our duty to
defend. The sole purpose Of all
our actions is to arrive at peace.
We desire to educate our people
and to reform our country"

BRITISH ULSTER GRANT
MAKES TAXPAYERS MAD

LONDON, April 5.-The Brit
ish taxpayer got mad when a
government, urging the claims Of
economy, airily made a free grant
of a million dollars to government
servants for q sports ground.
But his rage has turned to frenzy
now that Winston Churchill, Chan
cello~ of the Exchequer has pro-
posed an annual grant of five mil
lions yearly for five years, to III.
ster, for unemployment benefits.
To make this worse, Churchill
proposes this, not as q loan. but
as an absolute gift--at a time when
British income tax ranges around
20 per cent.
The Ulster case is that unem-
ployment In her State is two and
half times greater than in Brit
ain. The present deficit on her
unemployment fund Is stated to
be $4,000, 900 with q yearly deficit

SOVIET BOOMS
SIBERIA

MOSCOW, April 5.-The hope to
make a second California" Of the
far eastern regions of the Soviet
union has been voiced at the first
conference OF Soviets in that sec.
ton.
This Far East has much in com.
mon with California, the Siberian
boosters believe. It too, borders on
the Pacific Ocean, giving Russia its
longest stretch Of coast line, and is
rich In gold and other ores.
Next door neighbor to japan, it's
rich forests and rivers which swarm
with enough fish to feed the world,
are causing the people of the island
empire to turn their longing eyes
from California.
There are several projects for the
settlement Of Japanese in Siberia
where wide spaces and a rich coil
would provide the most convenient
way OF relieving the overcrowded
condition Of Japan. During the in.
PREVENTION the Japanese at one time
occupied practically all Of Siberia,
but the Russians fought them back
to Vladivostok, and finally, when
the treaty between Russia and
Japan was signed in 1925 the last
Japanese troops were withdrawn
from Soviet territory.
The Russians have declared they
are not adverse to a policy of peace
full settlement Of parts of the Far
Eastern regions by the Japanese.

ever, the similiarities between the

DELAWARE AND MARYLAND
CLASH OVER TRUCK LICENSES
Misunderstanding VIII Probably Be
IrOned Out Soon

Secretary of State S. D. Townsend,
who is in charge of the Delaware
motor vehicle office, and Deputy Mo-
tor Vehicle Commissioner Schroeder
of Maryland held conference at Mr..
Townsend's Office in Dover Wednes-
day afternoon relative to the friction
that has developed betw cen Delaware
and Maryland over the licensing of
trucks operated on the roads of the
two states.
The Delaware license required on
a Maryland truck operated in Del
aware, it was explained by Superin-
tendent of State Police c. c. Rey-
nolds, applies only to the truck, and
not to the operators license.
Under the Maryland Public Service
law is a provision requiring all
trucks operated in Maryland for hire
to carry Maryland license. AS the
Delaware motor vehicle law is re-
ciprocal, Delaware, by order Of Sec
retary of State Townsend, is making
the same requirement of Maryland
trucks. AS a result, for the past three
days the state police of the two
states have been stopping trucks of
the other state at the boundary line
and warning the drivers to obtain
the necessary additional license.
1t was reported Wednesday, how
ever, that the Maryland police had
been instructed not to interfere with
Delaware trucks pending negotia-
tions for an adjustment Of the diff

MAKING PLANS FOR
JULY 4TH TRAVEL
State Highway Police Preparing For
Biggest Days Motoring

c. c. Reynolds, superintendent of
the State Highway Police is making
plans for care for the tremendous
traffic that is expected to pass over
Delaware highways on the Fourth Of
July.
With the big increase in cars this
year not only for Delaware but all
over the country, normal estimate
of at least a 25 per cent increase in
travel may be expected if the wealth
er is fine. A survey of the cars that
pass through central points in Della
ware will be made on the Fourth of
July in order to form some estimate
of future needs of the department.
According to Superintendent Rey-
nolds all of the state police will be
on duty practically continually on
this holiday.
One of the paramount instructions
will be to speed up all slow moving
cars, particularly where the travel
is heaviest. If a car is moving slow
ly and not hitting on all cylinders
the driver will be directed to move
off the highway to some side road
and patch up his trouble. If the driv-
er shows that he is inexperienced
and holds up traffic by driving at the
rate of Is or Is miles an hour, he toe
will be direSted to get off the mair
and congested highways for some
