STOCKS RESUME
DOWNWARD
COURSE
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, April ~ Q.N.S0.
The stock market resumed its
downward course today under re-
newal Of liquidation in leading
issues.
The gains of yesterdays rally
were virtually wiped out in the
first hour. Stocks steadied around
their lows and trading turned
extremely dull. Declines ran
from l to 3 points.
Borden Joins Retreat
The same issues were under
pressure as have been steadily
sold for the last week and in
cluded U. S. Steel, American
Telephone, American Can, Allied
Chemical, General Electric and
Du Pont. Borden was a fresh
weak spot and sold down to
new bear market low on fore
casts that dairy prices would be
reduced again.
Evidence of slight credit ex-
panSion in yesterdays Federal
Reserve report. the first in
HOuCIlS, were O1ISeC by a rise IN
brokers' loans and gain of
100000 in money in circula-
ton.
Some disappointment was ex-
pressed in Wall Street circles over
the failure of a rediscount rate
cut to develop. The British tar
If also was considered to have
further obScured the world trade
situation.
All Groups Slip
All groups joined the reaction,
even the rails giving up / to 2
points each. The relatively large
gains made by the carrier shares
in the last three days brought
considerable profit-taking.
Royal Dutch was again heavy,
rejecting weakness in Paris and
London. Standard Oil of New
Jersey ran into further heavy
selling and broke to a new low.

Rear Admiral F. C. Billiard, command
ant, said today no commissioned officer
Is implicated.
The admiral denied statements attrib-
uted to United States ATTORNEY Amelj
In Brooklyn that the total money passed
by the bribers would amount to
$1,000,OOO.
He said the crime had been uncov-
cred by the Coast Guard about month
ago, which had been prosecuting its in
quiry since that time.
The inquiry developed that enlisted
men at the Coast Guard stations at Fire
Island, Blue Point, Bellport, and Geor-

Inc Coast Guards investigation
Wnich uncovered the bribery of the en-
listed men began about a month age
Wnen rum-running vessel ran ashore
on Long Island and the subsequent in
vestigation brought charges that money

Inc investigation determined, Ad-
mlral Billiard said, that only a few men
IN each OF the four stations were in
court-martial. 1"'e
Coast Guard officials pointed out
tnat the enlisted men would have to
Iace military trial under the Coast
Guard regulations and not civil trial
Inc admiral issued the following
statement:
"A thorough investigation recently
MADE by the inspector in chief of the
coast Guard and the commander In
chlef OF the fourth Coast Guard dis
trict has developed the fact that a
number Of enlisted men at four life
saving stations of the Coast Guard on
the coast of Long Island have been
guilty OF receiving comparatively small
sums from the rum-running interests.
none other than enlisted men are In
VOWED. No commissioned officer is in
any way implicated and in the entire
history OF the Coast Guard no COM
missioned officer has ever been in
VOWED In any way in such an offense.
The Coast Guard has already
brought some Of these enlisted men to
trial by court-martial and is taking
prompt and summary action with re-
spect to all others concerned"

NEW TAX SAFE LAW
URGED IN SENATE
King Would Allow 8 Instead Of
2 Years for Redemption
of Property.

Property owners whose real estate is
sold for non payment Of taxes In the
District would have three instead OF
two years in which to redeem 1t, under
a resolution Senator King, Democrat
of Utah, introduced in the Senate this
afternoon. 1t was referred TO the Dis
trict Committee for report.
Under existing law, after property
has been sold at tax sale, the original
owner may redeem it within two years
by paying the taxes plus the accrued
penalties This resolution adds another
year to the period which must elapse
before the Commissioners issue tax
deed.
Senator Copeland Democrat, of New
York, reintroduced his bill Of the last
session to provide system of old-age
relief. The bill would authorize the
welfare officials Of the District to de-
termine in each case the amount and
character of the relief to be extended.
Mrs. Mary T. Norton, chairman Of

duced the amended moratorium bill in

Admiral Also Supports Ten
Year Program Providing

BY the Associated Press.

=
A longtime building program to
bring the United States Navy up to
the London treaty limits was urged
before the Senate Naval Committee to-
day by Admiral William V. Pratt as
an economy measure.
The chief of naval operations told
the committee he favored enactment
of a measure by Senator Hale, Repub-
lican, of Maine providing in general
terms for treaty limit fleet, and also
the bill by Representative Vinson,
Democrat, Of Georgia, calling for
$616 100000 to finance building pro-
gram over 10 years.
"If both of these bills were enacted"
he said Congress for the first time
in the history of the Navy would have
adopted definite naval program ex-
tending over period of years"
He said under a long time program
the Navy could get better terms than
for shorter periods and would save
money.
We're very anxious TO get the ships"
he said, adding that the blanket treaty
limit bill by Senator Hale, the COM
mittee's chairman. would go farther
than the Vinson bill, (which claims to
be a replacement measure"
In addition to what the Vinson bill
would provide, Pratt said the Hale
measure would permit modernization
of battleships, construction of 81 new
submarines and full complement of
airplaneS for the plane carrier Ranger,
now being built.

LAVAL MAY FORCE
CABINET TO RESIGN
BRAND, Due to Quit, Men
toned for New Post as
Premier Seeks Coalition.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 8.-That Aristide
BRAND, veteran of 80 years Of French
politics and known as "Europe's peace
maker" will relinquish the post OF for
eign minister, which he has held for
seven years, seemed assured today.
The non partisan newspaper Excelsior
said fatty Premier Laval and M. BRAND
have agreed the latter is to exchange
the foreign ministry for the ministry of
state and that, as consequence, the
Laval cabinet will resign soon after
the funeral of the late war minister,
Andre Maginot.
This would mean the cabinet would
resign a fortnight short of its first
birthday in office. What combination
would succeed it was not regarded as
definite today.
Seeks Coalition Cabinet.
Premier Laval and his friends have
said they are anxious to set up a
coalition government on the broadest
possible scale, in view of the import
ance of the issues to be decided by the
coming international conferences at
Lausanne and Geneva. Political OBJ
servers remarked, however, that such
coalitions in the past, when tried by
former Premiers Poincare, BRAND and
Tardieu, did not produce the results
expected.
For this reason, these observers said,
the possibility that the shake-up may
result only in regrouping Of the pres
ent cabinet must not be overlooked.
Much was said to depend upon the re-
suits Of Premier LavapS coming con-
ferences with political leaders, most of
1t.r n, y~,,S
expected to return within week.
Cabinet Crisis Develops.
The newspaper LIE Petit Parisien said
M. BRAND had offered his resignation
several times, but that on each occa-
sion the premier told him he was
needed in the cabinet.
In view Of the impending interna-
tional conferences, at which the pres
ence Of the foreign minister will be
necessary, M Laval may yet be obliged
to replace his old tutor. 1t was thought
possible he might create a ministry
without portfolio for M. BRAND.
Whatever the outcome of situation,
which has developed into a full-fiedged
cabinet crisis, political observers believe
the general outline of the foreign policy
will not be changed.
TISIIlleI rltlIe ocSiILo ucIcI ululcu tO

union" government, similar to the war
time cabinet, in order to present

The premier, it was said, would rather
present the resignation of all his pres
ent cabinet to President Paul Doumer-
with the assurance in advance that he
would be asked to form a new govern
mcmillan merely replace M. BRAND
and the late, war minister
In his desire to conciliate all shades
OF opinion, 1t was semi-officially stated,
Premier Laval would ask the important
Radical-Socialist party, constituting the
bulk of his adversaries in the Chamber
of Deputies, to cooperate in the forrna-
ton of a new cabinet. 1t was re-
called that M. Laval had previously
tried to effect some sort of national
union" during the past year, but
always met resistance
