MARKET REOPEN|NG|
IS EXPECTED SOON
Wall Street FavorabIy I'M
pressed With Currency
Expansion Plan.
BY CHARLES w. STORM,

Editor, The News Service OF Wall Street.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 9.-Conf1dence
continues to grow in the financial dis
trict that something definite soon will
develop to bring about resumption OF
business in securities.
The more encouraging view undoubt-
eddy Is due to the character and In
creased definiteness of the steps being
taken at Washington In the banking
situation.
Bootleg" Market Wanes.
The Street Is favorably impressed
with the decision at Washington to
issue the same kind Of currency now In
circulation in connection with the plans
for currency expansion.
The use of one kind Of money among
individuals, with possibly the use Of scrip
by clearing house associations. If neces-
sary, is viewed as being superior to a
general use of scrip.
The bootleg" market for stocks
which started in a few places Tuesday
failed to show any expansion today. In
fact, very little was heard about such
transactions.
Alarm expressed by shorts over the
possibility of sharp advance at the
resumption Of business In stocks seems
to have been dissipated overnight.
The failure of the bootleg" market
to show any increase undoubtedly is
due to the fact that dealers in securi-
ties who are not members Of the Stock
Exchange or the Curb market are re-
framing from making any private
trades.
United States Stocks Firm Abroad.
Private transactions also are being
restricted by the conflicting ideas people
have as to whether prices should be
higher or lower than the closing prices
Of last Friday.
Gables received from abroad stated
that American stocks continued to show
firmness in the unofficial quotations.
American shares also were said to have
shown q steadier undertone in Canadian
markets, with the gold issues exhibiting
early strength.

PARADERS, FOUND
GUILTY, RELEASED
81 Give Personal Bond Not
to Repeat 0ffense After
Conviction,

The bulk Of the demonstrators
whose parade from 1909 Eleventh
street to the District Building was
stopped by police Monday after it had
Travelled two blocks. were found guilty
by Judge Gus Schuldt in Police Court
late yesterday after two days trial.
However. on recommendation of Assist
ant Corporation Council Edward M.
Welliver, the court took the personal
bond Of the group mot to repeat the
offense."
The court dismissed the charges as
to four of the defendants, when a
parade Of policemen who testified In
the two days of the trial failed to con-
meet them with the parade. Those
acquitted were Joseph Macdonald,
colored; Charles Edmonds; LargroW
Rose, colored; and William j. Co.'S
den, colored.
Nolle Pros b Entered.
Mr. Welliver entered a nolle pros in
the case Of Mrs. Beatrice Ferguson.
Her husband, Leslie Ferguson, one of
the 80 persons convicted, was carry
ing one of the Ferguson babies when
he was arrested.
Samuel Levine, who conducted the
case for the defense with Joseph L.
Goldman, put five of the defendants,
including q woman, Mrs. Clara Speer,
on the stand. All testified that In
spector Albert ]. Headley halted the
parade outside the hall from which
it started and asked for permit. When
he was told there was none, it was
testified. Headley and several other
uniformed officers accompanied the
group along the street without making
any effort to halt it until large group
Of policemen without warning fell upon
the column at Twelfth and p streets
and started clubbing the paraders as
they marched in column Of twos along
the north sidewalk.
Charges "Entrapment."
Levine claimed that the fact that
the officers accompanied the group fol
more than two blocks constituted an
''entrapment," and moved to dismiss
the entire case. Even assuming that
there was parade, he said, the de-
PENDANTS were exercising their consti-
tutional rights peaceably to assemble
to petition for the redress of grievances.
This was a right with which the Di-
rector Of Traffic could not interfere,
dAlO WllCLllCl 1lC IIdu loouCo d pcI
or not made no difference, the lawyer
contended
Mr. Welliver said that II the court
found that these persons had paraded
and had no permit to do so, there
was no alternative for it but to find
them guilty. He conceded that there
was an entrapment, but said that
whether heads were cracked or not
had nothing to do with the case.

PEKIN, ILL.,, March e.-As an ex-
pertinent Tazewel County motorists
yesterday began using q fuel containing
10 per cent alcohol which, it Is claimed,
has the double advantage Of being an
outlet for surplus corn and giving more
miles to the gallon.
From a pump at the farewell Farm
bureau headquarters here, +. F. Nc
Naughtcn, Pekin publisher, drew out
the first thankful Of the fuel.
Alcohol used In the fluid is manu-
featured here by the American Com
mericial Alcohol Corporation which yes
terday received permission from the
Federal supervisor Of permits to proceed
with the process.
Some time ago Paul Beshers, An Il
Paso, ILL.,, chemist, advanced the for
mula for fuel in the hope it would re-
lieve some Of the corn surplus. He
claimed the mixture would be of in
creased efficiency, depending on the
type Of motor in which 1t is burned.
Subsequently several farm organiza-
tons became interested In the plan and
appealed to Federal authority for per-
mission to give it trial.
Beshers explained the plan before the
Illinois Brotherhood Of Threshers at
Peoria last night.

First Yankee Captured by Germans
Says "All I Want Is Chance

DETROIT, September 21.-Sergt. Edgar
M. Halyburton, first Yankee captured by
the Germans during the World War and
the inspiration for the captured but
not conquered" posters advertising the
third Liberty loan, applied yesterday
for one of the 5000 jobs the Ford Motor
Co. is filling from the ranks Of former
service men.
"All I want is a chance to work,
Halyburton told Rex Humphrey, COM
mander Of the Wayne County CDetroit)
Council of the American Legion, who
recognized him while taking applica-
tions for the Ford Co. jobs. Prospects
were tonight that he would get 1t,
although his application has yet to be
formally approved.
It was November. 1917, that Sergt.
Halyburton stood at bay before his
captors, fists clenched, and shouted
Shoot and be damned"
A hidden German camera caught his
defiance and the picture later was
smuggled into the United States. From
it Cyrus E. Dallin chiseled a statute
with the words on the base, Captured
but not conquered" It was portrayed
on the third Liberty loan posters.
Halyburton explained that the closing
of Detroit's national banks last Winter
caused the failure of his barber shop
and threw him into the job line.
Two thousand veterans have been
interrogated and classified since Monday
when taking Of applications for Ford
jobs was started. The men are going
to work at the rate Of 300 a day.

been designated by President Roosevelt
to direct Russian trade negotiations,
whose vast scope is expected to have
an important bearing on recognition Of
the Soviet government.
friend and trusted financial adviser Of
the President, to handle the various
proposals for Soviet purchases in this
country was taken by observers as q
significant instance of President Roose-
velt's interest In both trade and dip
lomatic questions involving Russia.
In official circles 1t was said Nor
genthau had been chosen to supervise
Russian trade proposals because q CO.
ordinator was needed to keep in touch
with offers and suggestions going to
the various departments from many
sources. It was added that his work
was intended to serve as clearing
house for advances that might arise
and to supplement negotiations now
under way.
Instance Of Authority.
An instance of his authority was seen
yesterday, when officials who desired
to discuss Russian credits with the Re
construction Finance Corporation OBJ
tanned the farm credit governors ap-
proval before making the call on the
other financial agency.
Such is the extent Of the deals con-
templated in present discussions that
a large part Of the Farm Administra-
tion's program to raise farm prices
particularly where cotton is concerned
may depend upon their successful con-
cluSion.
For several weeks Jesse H. Jones
chairman of the Reconstruction Corpor-
alton, and other officials have been
dickering with the representatives OF
Amtorg, the official Soviet commercial
agency in New York, for a transaction
by which Russia would buy 500, 900 bales
of cotton and other products.
Morgenthau has been informed Of the
progress made and it was known the
Soviet would buy 1,000, 900 bales of cot
ton and vast quantity of other farm
commodities, including butter and meat
products, If satisfactory credits can be
obtained. If agreeable terms can be
arranged, Russia Is looked upon as a
market for 1000, 900 bales Of cotton.
Needs Heavy Machinery.
One of the things most needed by
the Soviet is heavy machinery and
other industrial products to carry
through the ambitious expansion vi
stoned by the second flve-year plan
It was said authoritatively yesterday
that the machinery was wanted even
more than the cotton. Proposals al
ready made and those anticipated from
Russian sources for the buying Of in
dustrial products will pass through Nor
genthaus hands.
The final word on credits in deals
contemplated now will rest with the
Reconstruction Corporation, but Nor
genthau henceforth is expected to be a
dominant factor on virtually everything
affecting Russia, with the exception
perhaps, Of State Department matters

The Canadian laws work exceedingly

seems to be proud Of the solution at

revenue Is greatly reinforced. The
Swedish system, too, has become famous
for its success. It does not differ great
ly from the Canadian systems.
Several Of our States have already
set up commissions whose duty it Is to
make preliminary investigations in ad-
vance Of the very certain repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment. Doubtless these
commissions will find much Of value in
the experience Of other countries. Their
task will be to evolve systems in each
State which will meet the enlightened
sentiment of the people, command their
respect and be conducive Of real tenn
perance.
I have complete faith in the ability
Of the people Of the States to do this
thing. I decline to yield to the conten-
ton of some that the people of the

fore be controlled in their daily lives
by a higher power. The art Of self
