Proposal Is to Have All Nations
Fix Ratio Between White
and Yellow Metals

Washington, April 20-(R-An in
ternational compact remonetizing
silver at q uniform ratio with gold
was disclosed Friday to have been the
subject Of secret conferences here this
week.
Such an agreement will be discussed
under international negotiations. II
the expectations Of responsible sources
in diplomatic and official ranks are
fulfilled.
All possible secrecy has been placed
around preliminary feelers for the
idea. The names Of those attending
the recent conferences have been
guarded.
In one quarter appraised Of the sit
uation, however, 1t was asserted that
several surface indications now can be
attached to the existence Of such Z
suggestion.
The recent dispatch Of an admins
tration monetary expert to the far
east. It was said, arose from desire
to determine the quantity Of silver IN
that vast area where It Is much used.
In the same quarter It was con-
tended that President Roosevelt's dis
inclination thus far to endorse any
Of the many mandatory silver-aid
proposals IN congress held q tie with
the recent private discussions here.

HEITINGER CASE IS
EXPECTED TO REACH
TRIBUNAL SPEEDILY:
Whether Military Force Can
SuppIant Civil Authority
Is Question
THREE GUARDS ARRAlcMEn
Militiamen Are Permitted I'd
Sign Own Bonds by Mott
Magistrate

Mott, N. D., April 2o.-(R)-Out Of
the arraignment here Of three North
Dakota National Guardsmen late
Thursday grew plans to test Gov.
William Langer's authority to use tho
states military branch to supersedo
civil authority in enforcing his mort
gage foreclosure moratorium.
The guardsmen. represented by as
sistant state attorney general Charles
A. Verret, were bound over to the dis
trict court on a charge Of assault with
a deadly weapon, while . second
charge, that OF extortion, was con-
tinued for two weeks.
A special term Of court will be asked
by States Attorney J. K. Murray Of
Mott and, regardless Of the decision,
the case will be taken to the state SUI
preme court for final determination.
Arrested on the two charges following
their enforcement Of the governors
orders to evict q renter from Het.
finger county farm and to restore pos
session to the former owner, the
guardsmen were released on bonds OF
$500 each. States Attorney Murray
agreed to permit the men to sign their
bonds personally.
On the extortion charge, Verret
and Murray will present briefs to
City Magistrate William Hendricks,
who presided at Thursdays prelim-
mary hearing. Legal phases sur
rounding this charge will be pre-
sented.
Anxious For Test
vefret. who was dispatched hero
from Bismarck by Attorney General
n. o. Satire, was represented by
Murray as anxious to have test case
taken to the courts. Murray said an
agreement was reached to clear the
way for bringing the case before the
state supreme court.
When the guardsmen are BROUGHT
before the district court at q special
term, which may be convened in
about month, the state will inter-
pose demurrers to informations which
will be filed by Murray.
The principal point will be whether
military authority can be used by the
governor to supersede civil authority
without declaration OF martial law.
Guardsmen have been used frequent-
" by the governor to restore farms to
persons who lost them in mortgage
foreclosures. Murray takes the view
such procedure is illegal and that civil
authorities are supreme unless mar
tial law is declared.
The guardsmen, Captain Wayne
Klinefelter and Corporals Adolph
Remillong and Ralph G. Ehli, all OF
Dickinson, were brought here by dep
uty sheriffs to appear at the prelim-
mary hearing. Their arrest followed
the eviction Wednesday Of Arthur
Peters from the farm he was renting
from mortgage company. The
guardsmen restored possession to
Frank Stricken, who lost it by de-
faulting on his contract to purchase

SHOWDOWN
ON DISARMAMENT
AT GENEVA MAY e
Representatives. Of Nations to
Gather Then for Discus
sion of Old Issue
Copyright 1884, by The Associated


Press)
Geneva, April 20.-(R)-League Of
Nations circles forecast Friday a
dramatic showdown on disarmament
on May %.
That Is the date when representa-
tives Of the nations in the world dis
armament conference will return to
Geneva In full session to attempt to
catch and pull together the flying
strings Of the many-sided problem Of
arms control.
There are even unconfirmed ru-
inors that France may insist upon an
investigation Of German armament be-
fore consenting to negotiate any sort
Of disarmament treaty.
But the differences Of France, Ger
many and Great Britain form but one
section Of the problem as whole.
Friday tendency was seen in Ge-
neva to link what one official called
the disturbed disarmament situa-
ton with developments in the Far
East growing out Of the newly-stated
Japanese policy that western powers
must keep hands off China.
Some progress was seen by well
informed sources here in the British
white paper" revelation at London
Thursday that Germany had ex-
pressed willingness to postpone re-
ductions Of ornaments by other pow
ers for five years.
May Appease France
This stand, taken in a previously
unrevealed note to Great Britain. it
was stated here, may reduce the ap-
prehensions Of France regarding Gar
many's arms - apprehensions which
led her to state flatly that there
could be no further hope Of bilateral
agreements with the Reich operating
under budget granting increases for
military purposes.
Germany's insistence upon defense
airplanes, also voiced In the note to
Britain, was generally expected in
Geneva.
France, it was declared here, re-
fuses to accept as legal the German
military budget and wants the disarnl-
ament conference to tackle the prob
lem from the standpoint that Ger
many already has begun rearming In
violation Of the treaty Of Versailles.
It also was stated that France is
disturbed over last Saturdays men,

Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark
and Norway holding that it Is better
to reduce ornaments and permit Ger

NEW YORK, october I3.-Cotton

over-holiday reports from Washington
which threw cold water on the in
1ationary rumors current on Thurs
day. After selling off to 1921 during
the early trading, December rallied to

closed at 1892. The general market
ended steady at net declines of to

Initial prices were off to 10 points
lower. There was liquidation by
buyers of last Thursday and Southern
selling, along with offerings for for

well taken by the trade or commits
sion house buying and after showing
net losses of about to Is points prices
rallied on covering. Near the finish
of trading, however, prices eased off
to extreme lows with May selling at

Reich Imports in TangIe.
BERLIN-"Germanys import con-
troll is swamped with applications for
permits to bring goods into the coun-
try and there is small chance that the
situation will be ironed out very soon,
but it is unlikely that any acute crisis
will develop for industry, for heavy
stocks we're rushed into the country
earlier this year in anticipation of the
import control. Business, nevertheless.
is disturbed by the diSorganizs ton of
routine, and export sales continue to
decline in most lines. Industrial ac-
tivity is standing at levels of the last
three months, largely because domes-
tic demand has increased to counter
balance a falling off of foreign orders
''The artificial shortage of foreign
goods created by the increasing sever
ity of import restrictions has in many
instances raised their prices in Ger
many far above their world market
parity This has induced DR.. Schacht
to issue an order prohibiting the sale
of foreign goods at a higher price than
that which corresponds to the foreign
price at the time of the sale plus GUS
tomary incidental expenses import
duty, freight and the usual profit.
Violation of this order is subject to
exceptionally heavy punishments.
"One of Germany's greatest imports
is oil and gasoline. Domestic pro-
duction, with no end of government
coddling, is still small. In the des-
perate effort to save foreign exchange,

producers to unite in an effort to
produce, if possible, 100000 tons Of

BOND LIST RULES
STEADY TO FIRM
Market Is Influenced Little
by "Toning Down" of
Initiation Talk.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, october 13.-The
bond market apparently was not
greatly influenced today by the ad-
ministration's ''toning down" Of in
flationary talk.
A steady to firm tone was exhibited
throughout the brief session. Action
of the list, in the face of Washing
tons denialS of imminent moves in
the monetary program, was attributed
by dealers to the fact that the mar
ket, when stocks experienced minia-
ture boom" last Thursday, did not
take the matter so seriously. Only
the secondary issues were inclined to
follow equities at that time, and even
they were not all buoyant.
Transfers today amounted to $6,-
59l 900, par value against $6,234, 900
last Saturday. The Standard Sta
tistics Co. average for go domestic
corporate loans recorded an advance
of one-tenth of a point to "a. On
the week this average showed a net
gain of three-tenths' of a point.
Most of the utilities did little, while
the rails and induStrialS were only
slightly higher. Improvement was
shown by some liens of American &
Foreign Power, Santa Fe, Columbia
Gas, Erie, New York Central, Nickel
Plate, National Dairy, New Haven,
Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania, Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey, Texas Corp,
United Drug and Warner Bros.
Trading was exceptionally quiet in
the United States Government sec
ton. Federal bonds totaling only
about $1,100,OO0 changed hands, COM
pared with S2,29O,OOO in the previous
short session. Although the newly
called Liberty fourth 4A4s-the Treas
ury announced the retirement of some
$1,870, 100000 of these on April Is,
next-dnished unchanged at 1923, ad-
vances throughout the remainder of
this department ranged from l-32 to
1882 of point.
German Government obligations re-
sponded moderately to the Reich's
agreement to pay part interest to
American holders of the Young and
Dawes plan issues. The remainder of
the foreign section was rather dull
and moderately irregular. The Dawes
rs advanced IL points to 81 and the
Young plan 5l2S were 3s at 27$s.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week.
BY III. N. McGilI.
Editor, McGiI Commodity Service, Inc.

EolLorI McGlu commonly service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, October Is
up. Commodity prices during the
second week in october again regis
tered downward trend. The decline
however, was not as general as in re-
cent weeks. A review of IA individ-
ual groups shows advances, 4 de-
clines, while z groups remain the
same as during the previous week.
Industrial prices represent one OF
the groups that held steady. The
most significant event in the indus
trial situation was the definite sign
of a moderate upturn in production
activity. The fact remains that the
price trend has moved irregularly
downward since last June. although
the extent of the decline has proven
limited.
Farm Prices Advance.
Agricultural prices represent one of
the three groups to advance. Price
weakness in wheat, beans, potatoes
and butter was more than counter
acted by strength in corn, oats, rye,
eggs, hay and f1axseed. The wheat
crop was revised upward compared
with the September report, but the
aggregate supply remains radically
under average. Corn production was
revised downward, the volume only Sc
per cent of average.
The live stock prices moved down.
ward during the week reflecting
primarily the lower price average for
cattle. Hogs moved slightly higher,
while sheep and lambs remain steady.
Hide and leather prices moved
downward quite sharply, due to the
12-cent decline in hides and weakness
in calfskins. Upper leather was
slightly higher.
Paint materials averaged higher
under the leadership Of linseed OIL
rosin and turpentine. Shellac prices,
however, were lower.
Fine Textiles Decline.
Fine textiles declined despite price
stability in cotton, silk and wool. A
lower price average was caused by
moderate price weakness In cotton
yarns and print cloth.
Vegetable oils represent the third
group to average higher, a check-up
showing moderate price strength in
coconut, cottonseed and linseed oils.
Most important price changes In
the McGill Weekly Index (1926 equal
ing 1000 were as follows:

CHICAGO, October l3.-American
fishing interests can greatly increase
their production to meet any food
shortage which may occur as the result
Of the drought, r. P. Fletcher, Jr.,
president of the Booth Fisheries Corp,
has informed President Roosevelt
through the Bureau of Fisheries.
The harvest of sea foods can be in
creased upon short notice, because it
is not affected by such obstacles to
production as drought" he said.
when the demand warrants, produc-
ton can be speeded up without any
material advance in prices.
Residents of many sections of the
country will have to change their diets
as result of lowered production and
higher prices of foods ordinarily con-
sumed. Fish and sea foods offer the
solution to that problem"
The present per capita consumption
Of fish in the United States is 142i
pounds per year, as compared to 35
in Great Britain, 90 in Canada. 50 in
Sweden and SIS in Japan, he said.
