cording to his wife. he came home from

o'clock the usual hour, and soon after
lay down upon the bed and went to
sleep. Knowing that he intended going
out, Mrs. Schreck called him a little
later. but received no answer. Per-

lower jaw and grinding of the teeth.
she OWNED from past experience what

In speaking about the attack, Mrs.
Schreck said that her husband had been
bitten by dog just above the knee
about this time of the year. and had a
slight spasm before she was married to
him. Last year about this time he had
the second attack. After remaining a
day in the hospital he apparently re-

REALTY WORLD ON EVE
OF CONSOLIDATION
Important Companies to
Form Great Concern.
May Capitalize at Soc, ,ooo-George
A. Fuller Company Interested
in Movement.

NEW YORK. July 20.-The recent
rumors concerning great Realty
Trust in New York city have at last
taken definite shape. in the announce
ment that several Of the most important
companies will form the great concern,
with at least $50, ,00O, 900 capital
Included in the plan primarily are the
George A. Fuller Company. the Central
Realty Bond and Trust Company, and
the New York Realty Corporation. The
Century Realty Company and the AL
lance Realty Company may also join
in the combination. although their par
ticipation, while highly probable. is be-
lieved to be a subject for future nego-
tiation.
Basis of Capitalization.
| The exact basis of the new corpora
tion's capitalization has not-been de-
termined. 1t is probable, however, that
$50, ,000, 900 of per cent preferred stock
will be issued and the common stock
will be of equal If not greater amount.
While the president OF the new con-
Germ and possibly some of its other off,
GERS will probably be men better known
IN the financial than in the real estate
community, its active management will
devolve upon an executive committee,
composed of the leading spirits in var
ious constituent companies affected by
the consolidation.
In the latter connection the names
most prominently mentioned are those
of Henry Morgenthau, president of the
Central Realty. Bond and Trust Com
pany: Harry S. Black. president of the
George A. Fuller Company: Robert f.
Bowling and Albert Flake, vice presi :
dents of the New York Realty Corpora
ton; w II. Ckesebrough. president of
the Century Realty Company. and Fred :
erick Southack. president Of the AL
lance Realty Company.
Among other well known men who are
likely to be interested in the project
are Charles NJ. Schwab and James Still
man, both of whom are already large
holders of Fuller Company stock. while
iumor even went so far as TO declare
that in the organization OF the new
company J. Pierpont Morgan may have
hand.
Purposes of Combine.
Inc purposes OF the pro1ecteu consoli-
dation, II is pointed out. are similar to
those which have actuated like move
ments in other branches of activity.
The large realty corporations within
the last three years have introduced an
entirely new element into the city's real
estate dealing in their methods OF hand
ling gigantic operations involving mil
lions of dollars. and 1t is the belief of
those who are forming this new corpora
tion that with a still more complete
union of interests and with still greater
financial resources these operations
may be carried forward upon even a
more extensive scale and with greater
ultimate success.
The aggregate capital Of the com
panies mentioned as likely to be In the
deal is at present about S29. 900. di-

brought suit against Mrs. Mary c. Law
ton, widow of Gen. Henry W. Lawton,
for $3.50. alleged to be due for plans
furnished the defendant for house to
be built at Pewee Valley.
Mrs. Lawton's defense will be that she
did not accept the plans, but used de-
signs supplied by another architect.
Especial interest attaches to the suit
from the fact that the house is to be
built from the funds raised by popular
subscription after General Lawton' 8
