RESTRAINING ORDER IS ASKED FOR
False Testimony Said to Have Been
Introduced in ~ Suit.

residence property located at st. Mary's
avenue and Twenty-fourth street and be-
longing to Mrs Myer Helman was to have
been sold under the hammer December &c
TO satisfy a claim which David Adler &
Sons of Milwaukee held against the late
Myer Holman. Judge Dickinson has issued
n temporary restraining order delaying the
sale. Mrs Hellman's attorneys have filed
n petition asking that the Adlers be per-
manently enjolned from selling the property.
In this petition 1t is set forth that the
property was not liable for the debts OF Mr..
IIelman and that the Adlers established
their claim by means of false testimony.
Before Mr.. Hellmau's death he was in
the mercantile business in Omaha and
owned much real estate. At time of busl-
ness depression he mortgaged his real es-
tate to satisfy the claims of creditors. Mrs.
Helman refused to sign these mortgages
until assured that the homestead, the prop
erty which Is now in dispute, would be
decided to her. The house was finally trans
ferred to Mrs. Hellman. After Mr.. He'll
mans death David Adler & Sons set up the
claim that when they sold $4,000 worth OF
goods to the deceased he listed his home
among his assets. and Isaac Myers, the
salesman who sold the goods to Mr.. He'll
man, testified to this effect on the stand
The Adlcrs won the case, and the higher
court sustained the action of the district
court.
other creditors sought to be secured by
a mortgage on Mr.. Helman's home. but in
court they testified that he refused to en-
cumber the house and said that it belonged
TO his wife. IT was on Myers testimony
that the case hinged, and since that time
he is said to have admitted that he testified
falsely and is now anxious to go on the
stand and swear that Helman did not list
the property in question among his assets

testimony that Mrs. Helman seeks to delay

THE LONG ISLAND RAILWAY.
Ruinors of Change of Control Afioat
in Wall street.

NEW YORK. May 5.-The financial
world has been entertained for several
days past with various stories regarding
the alleged sale Of the Long Island Rail-
way. It was said at one time that the
Standard Oil people had secured control
OF the line. and later that the New York
Central people were quietly, but effective
ly buying the shares Of the line for con-
troll. Yesterday one OF the news bureaus
made the statement that it had been in
formed by an authority in which we have
much confidence" that the control OF the
line had passed 10 Pennsylvania Railway
interests
The latest story regarding the sale Of
the railway is received with less confidence
by the financial world generally than it is
by the news bureau in question. Promi-
nent railway authorities assert that the
Pennsylvania Railway would have no use
for the Long Island and that as FAR as the
probabilities go the New York Central pur-
chase story is much the more plausible.

tive in me market for several days and it
has advanced many points In price Il sold
