Suit for $4,000.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, July 30.-Judge
woodmansee tonight gave an unexpect-
eddy early decision in the case of Bar
oness Nadine Won Klfuss-Procter, who
resisted the issuance of an injunction
against the transfer of 100 shares of
stock, valued at $4,000, which injunction
was obtained by attorneys representing
her husband, Percy Proctor OF Cincin-
natl.
Judge Woodmansee dismissed the claim
that the stock had been obtained by
fraudulent collision between Joseph De
Wyckoff OF London. England, and Mrs
Proctor. and stated that the stock was
given by Percy Proctor previous to his
marriage TO the baroness as collateral
for a marriage settlement of $4,000
The court held that the present own.
ership of the stock is vested Jointly in
Mr. and Mrs. Proctor, and lets the in.
junction stand until the Procters have
come to some agreement out of court
which he recommends before giving his
final decision in the matter.
Pending a settlement out of court by
the Procters the case goes over to the
October session.
The decision of Judge Woodmansee is
regarded as a victory for Baroness Won

VERNON DENIES RUMOR.
Register of the Treasury Has No
Intention of Resigning.

Rumors have been current during the
past few weeks that William T. Vernon,
register of the Treasury, contemplates
resigning and taking up once more the
presidency of the Western University, a
colored institution located at Quindaro,
Kan. He says. however, that the rumor
is without foundation.
Mr.. Vernon was the president of this
university for several years before he
entered the government service. The
institution receives an annual appropria-
ton from the Kansas legislature. While
Mr.. Vernon was at it's head its admin
iStration was looked upon with favor by
the state officials, but since he came to
Washington, it Is reported, there is much
dissatisfaction with the conduct of its
affairs
1t is said that Gov Stubs has init
mated to Mr.. Vernon that unless he
consents to return to Quindaro it is
probable that state aid will be refused
the university. Mr.. Vernon's present po-
sition pays a salary of $1,000 a year.
The presidency of the university pays
s., 800 a year, with house rent thrown in.
He said yesterday that there was no
sis for the rumors concerning his res
ignation.
II understand also that the affairs of
the university are in a satisfactory con-
dttion," he said.

LAST YEARS MANEUVERS.
Mai. Gen. Wood Finds Much to Com.
mend in the Results.

The report of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
on the field exercises held in Massachu-
sets a year ago, August 1921, 1909. has
made it's appearance in a volume Of $50
pages. In his Conclusions Gen. Wood
says that for the company, battery and
troop commanders the experience was
invaluable. All ranks were given wide
opportunity for real work under condi-
lions requiring their best effort The
difficulties which arose were those of
actual service, and in meeting them the
militia, as a whole. did better than was
expected.
"Rations were delivered as promptly
and in as ample quantity as is usual
under conditions Of field service When it
is considered that some of the troops
came from as far south as Washington
d. c., and had a considerable sea voyage,
their small sick report was remarkable -
The eventual defeat of the Blue was
largely due, says Gen. Wood, to too great
dispersion. Both the Blue and Red forces
everything considered, he said, made an
excellent showing. The conduct Of the
troops was excellent and worthy of the
highest praise. The small amount of
damage, $4,000 for the two armies is sig
nif1cant.

carrier between the Islands of Antigua
and Barbados. She lay helpless, with her
master and crew of five fiat on the decks.
There was neither water nor food in

When the men had been hoisted aboard
the steamer and revived, Capt. J. Frank,
owner of the Sunlight, said that he ran
into a fog a few hours ON of Antigua,

days he and his crew had been living on

been unconscious before the 1kalis bore
down on them he did not know
AS the fog came on the sloop began
to take water, and the crew worked at
the pumps until exhausted. Distress sig
nails were set after a storm washed their
food and water overheard, and for near
ly two weeks their sole sustenance was
the sugar-saturated vinegar.
Overcome by Exhaustion.
When the storm cleared it was found
that the compass had gone with the
provisions, and the crew pumped and
sailed recklessly, until, one by one, they
were overcome by exertion and starva-
ton. and each in his turn stretched him
silf out on the deck to die. Capt. Frank
was the last man to give in.
When the rescued men had been re-
freshed they insisted on returning to
the Sunlight, which had been kept in
sight. Accordingly they were put aboard
with water and provisions, but while the
Ikalis was bidding them adieu they call
ed for help. The Sunlight was sinking
The Ikalis took them off again, the Sum-
light was abandoned and the shipwreck-
ed men were brought to this port.
