BU Dntted Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Two
more states were added today to the
list Of those without plans for OBJ
tanning relief funds to aid the I'M
employed this winter.
Additional replies were received
from Governors in response to
queries by the Scripps Howard
newspapers, asking what restric-
tons are imposed in each state in
regard to appropriating or borrow
ing funds for unemployment relief.
Thirty-three were obtained preyi-
ously.
From North Carolina comes word
that there is no power under the
Constitution Of the state to appro-
PIRATE or borrow money to relieve
unemployment. State will not have
funds or borrowing capacity to meet
such need next winter"
Can Not Borrow Money
California has no right to Dor
row money, except on authorization
OF the legislature, after submission
to the people, and the legislature
does not meet again until 1888.
However, Governor James Rolph Jr.

The supreme court of Kansas has
several times held that taxes can
not be levied except for a public
purpose. This includes the PROPOSE
ton that the state can not appro-

for such a purpose" he said.

More Than Expected
Despite the fact that this esti-

bales more than generally anti

preciable effect upon the market.
The list was somewhat depressed
by unfavorable advices from
Worth Street in which new low
prices were reported in some con-
Struction of goods.
A feature Of the early trading
was the absorption of offerings as
q result of price fixing by foreign
and domestic mills. In addition
to this price-fixing, support was
also given by Liverpool which
bought March, and Wall Street
which was actively engaged in
buying the more distant months.

The unfortunate defeat suS-
tanned by the constructive cohorts
yesterday, particularly when a
presumably strong line Of defense
had been thrown around sup
posedly vulnerable sections Of the
market, was no doubt aggravated
by the pronounced weakness in

Still, that does not take back
the fact that the rails are now at

that pivotal industrial leaders of
the type of U. S. Steel and West
inghouSe are at their lowest levels

vitations to leading bankers Of
various nations to attend an i'm

discuss extension of the mora

credits were sent out by the Ger

The invitations contained a pro-
posal for a sliding scale of re-
payment of outstanding obliga-
tions over a period of several
years.
German financiers are con-
vinced of the inability of Ger
many to meet the credits when

is early solution of the existing

(COntlDued from rage l) orders," declared Admiral Aznar
 when called by King Alfonso to solve
 the crisis. "I believe, with the help
 of God, we will go ahead" The monarchical concentration cabinet will work for parliamentary government as well as a constitu- tional convention to revise the Con- stitution of 1876, but without such stringent restrictions on the king s power as proposed by the constitu- tionalists and liberals who failed to form government. The capital was quiet. Yesterday the government had taken strict military precautions against dis orders or revolutionary movements and troops were concentrated in bar
 racks or at strategic points around the capital. The nation was under strict censorship and constitutional guarantees were suspended. The new cabinet included: Premier and minister of marine Admiral AZnar.
 Foreign affairs--Count Roman ones, liberal monarchist. Public works-Jean De La Cierva, leader of a group of right" conser- vatives and father of the auto-gyro inventor.
 Labor-the Duke of Maura, con- | servative.
 Justice-The Marquis of Alhuce-
 mas, leader of the liberal-democrats. a "center" group of the conserva- tives or monarchists. Finance-John Ventosa. the Cat alan regionalist.
 War-General Damaso Bercnguer, | whose dictatorial government fell
 last Saturday.
 Interior-The Marquis of Hoyos,
 mayor of Madrid.
 Economy-Count Bugallal. leader of the extreme right" faction of conservatives.
 All of the ministers, except Gen. eral Berenguer, who is i'll, and Ven- tos, who is enroute from Barcelona, were sworn in with the new premier. General Berenguer will take the
 oath tomorrow. The minister of public instruction was not named,
 but probably will be Joaquin Gascon Y Marin, whom the cabinet is cx- pected to name at its first meeting. AZnar's cabinet, while 1t will not
 exercise the dictatorial powers under which Spain has been ruled for seven years, made no compromise with the
 republicans and slight concession to the liberal monarchists. The deter
 mination of King Alfonso to fight for the powers of the throne because
 of the vast confusion and instabil-
 fly which arose immediately when
 Don Jose Sanchez Guerra attempted
 to form cabinet was emphasized by the almost complete monarchical character of the new government.
 The new premier Is q strong mon
 archist who was interested in polit-
 ical affairs some years ago but has
 always devoted himself entirely to
 the service of the crown. He is
 popular among navy men and, with

 partment, the military forces appar-
 ently were prepared for perfect CO., operation in supporting the govern ment.

 "I have enjoyed my career" said the executive. but the outlook of farmer which I obtained in very happy boyhood I would not trade for anything I know"
