 He wanted to stop thEs shady business, but the laws were weak. Expeditions to lneIto revolutions could not be arrested unless they and their arms went south on tho snmo boat, Of course they nl- ways travelled on different boats. One day young Mr Stlmson heard that some -inClters were sailing from New York to stir up trouble in Haiti. Ile got aboard their ship Just before It cnst off. But he couldn't arrest the crew. Tho Casc seemed hopeless.
 However, hc started looking around the ship and presently his eyes fell on q lHrgo roll of money.

 Unfortunately for the plottcrs their fake money was very much liko the existing Haitian currcn. Cy. StimSon had the whole crew indicted for countcrrcltng, con- vlctcd them and stopped tho roVo- luton.

 He urged President Hoover 10 ask congress for this power. The munitions interests and tho war department didn't fully approve of Stlmsons' idea. Neither did Domo senators.
 Yesterday Mir Hoover sent a message to congress asking for power to place an embargo on nrms. But he didn't recommend the original Stimson plan. which would have given tho president this authority regardless of whnt other nations did. Mr Hoover made the American embargo dependent on similar action by tho "prlnelpal arms manufacturing nations"
 Stims0n fought allantly but vainly for his original plan, which ho regarded as more effective. Tn tho end. however. he accepted tho modified plan as bsttor than noth. Ing.
 A meeting of the senate foreign rotations committee was enlled 10 consider Mir Hoover's recommenda- tion to-day.

Gold Circulation Barred.
Gold coin and gold certificates, or
"yellowbacks." apparently are the only
money which must not be held by in
dividuals. banks, or corporations under
the anti-hoarding regulations to be
issued by the Treasury early next
week.
The gold certificates differ from the
new currency about to be distributed
and from all other paper money now in
circulation In this way:
Each certificate is backed by 100
per cent deposit Of gold coin or bullion
in the Treasury vaults. 1t is therefore
considered identical with gold coin.
Circulation Of these certificates al
ready Is prohibited That is taken
to mean that they must not be used
for paying bills or otherwise. The
forthcoming regulations are expected
to require that all be Immediately
turned in to banks and sent back to
the Treasury. However, the exact rules
have not been disclosed These will

Gates will be reported to the Treasury

Presumably action will be taken against
them unless their hoards are soon re-
turned and exchanged for new cur

Ali other types Of paper money in
circulation may be held or spent, as
the forthcoming regulations are now
understood, without being considered

Most of these are backed by partial
gold deposits.
United States notes hitherto have
been redeemable in gold.
