AUTHORITIES HERE CHECK ON ~REDS'
Report Stated Local Men Involved in R. l. Dis=
 turbanceS

Waterbury police said this af- ternoon that as far as they knew, no local communists were in the Rhode Island strike area. It had been reported that several prom inent communists, who have been in trouble with authorities here several times, were among the agi- tators at Saylesville and Woon- socket, but police checks have fail- ed to reveal that such is the case.
 Rhode Island union leaders have claimed that many agitators from out of that state have been leaders in the disorders, in which many troopers and civilians have been injured. A press association report listed a Waterburian as having ben arrested during a riot. but both the name and address which he gave are unknown to the local police department.
 Police here keep a more or less close watch on those known to be trouble-makers and agitators and report that all is serene as far as can be ascertained.

Jersey City, N. J., Sept 14.- (UP)-Some 10000 silk dyers were enjoined to-day from even talking strike, as the result of a quick move of Paterson and Hudson county mill owners to block g walkout threatened by five locals of the United Textile Workers Union.

 Payment of special commissions to high Chinese military officers by a du Pont agent in 1892 was an unusual procedure and not in &C., cord with company policies. Lam- mot du Pont told the committee.
 Pierre du Pont interrupted to say that only three times were commissions to government off, cials discussed by the company and in each instance the proposal was rejected.
 T remember my father impress ing on me when I was a boy that such policy was not a good one,' he said.
 Isn't it a fact that the practice exists in other countries?" asked Sen Arthur H. Vandenberg, r, Mich.
 Yes" he replied.
 Correspondence purported to show that the United States navy cooperated "100 per cent with the Argentine navy in 1880 and that the American Bureau of Ordnance functioned as Inspector" for the Argentine navy.
 Because of the close relation ship, the du Pont company, it was shown. contemplated powder sales for cruisers purchased by Argen- tina from Europe.
 w. H. O'Gorman, assistant di- rector of smokeless powder sales. informed the company's Paris agent on May 29, 1880:
 Argentine naval officials have frequently told us that only du Pont powders would be used for guns of larger caliber which may be installed on cruisers. We feel assured that we have enough sup port throughout agent and our friends in the Argentine navy that du Pont powder will be specified in the event that cruiser and arm aments are purchased abroad,
 We will take this subject up with our agent in Argentina and see that he does the necessary in connection with spreading good propaganda"

CLOSED BANKS
PUT At 3,349

Of the 4,O13 banks that failed
to reopen Immediately after the
national banking holiday last
March and the 596 that closed
in the preceding two months of
1888, 1860 have been reopened or
replaced, while 3,349 are in Iqui-
dation or awaiting final action,
according to the Am meri C a n
Banker.
In February reopening of banks
or charterings of replacement in
stitutions as reported numbered
121. Of these 81 were under Ma
tional charter and so were State
chartered institutions.
This compares with 1876 such re-
openings reported in January by
this publication, and the average
of 1913 a month since last April.
Mergers of closed institutions have
accounted for another small per-
centage of reduction in the totals
of unreplaced banks.

STRIKE DULLS
MARKET
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

Dy WALL . ANCG4 Oh En- 4 n Il IN
NEW YORK, March 7 G.N.SO.
Wall Street and the market are
both in a coma, and will need
something pretty peppy to make
them snap out of it. Stocks seem
to prefer to do nothing until the
strike danger in the automotive
centerS is settled. This restrained
the enthusiasm which normally
would have developed at the turn
the market control legislation is
taking. At that, sentiment is
hopeful of better market before
long.
One constructive thing is that
no selling pressure of consequence
has developed in the last few
days.
A clue of how listless traders
are was the fact American Can
sold only once yesterday. and this
a few minutes before the market
closed. The day before Case
Threshing did the same stunt.
These two stocks, Can particularly,
are so-called market leaders. Put
and call experts don't expect
much for a week, according to
their quotations. Calls on leaders
are available 21a points up at
most. with Consolidated Gas and
General Motors only a point up.
Evidently the silver talk isn't
taken too seriously, since calls
were offered or American Smelt-
ing and Cerro De Pasco two
points up.
The strength in Auburn is
bringing a good deal of talk about
the company's new car. It is
expected to be announced this
month. American Republics Cor
poration, a Texas oil producer,
comes out of receivership under
a reorganization plan today.
Officials of the company are
thinking tentatively of having the
stock Listed on the big board
late in the spring. It was drop
ped a couple of years ago.
j. S. Cosden, former big-time
oil man of the boom days, is
in town.
He is doing considerable scout
ing around in an effort to make
a comeback. March normally is
an uncertain month market-wise.
Best opinion anyway is that the
market will be highly selective
from here on. There are stories
around of some large-scale buying
Of leather by Russia and Japan.
More war stuff, in line with the
big demand for nickel and
nitrates. From current indica-
tionS, Baltimore & Ohio pre-
ferred will be back on a dividend
basis before many months are
passed.
