$500 JUDGMENT
IN PRE- sELAAR
NOTE LITIGATION
Missing Man, Sued by Brother
in.Law, Does Not Appear
to Defend.

An echo of the P~remselaar disap-
pearance was heard today when 1t was
learned that his brother-in-l law. Isaac
We'll, Of 6s9 Second avenue. New York,
obtained a judgment for $500 against
Simon Premselaar In an ,undefended
action at the East Orange District
Court.
Wei is the mai at whose house Mrs.
Prenlselaar was located after bher nus
band returned from his vacation In
Europe.
The origin of the suit dates back
two and a half years. when Mr.. Well
loaned Premselaar $1,000. with which he
opened his confectionery store, accord
ing to the statement made by Isaac
Fleischman, attorney for WE'LL.
The plaintiff obtained In this action
an attachment for $500 against The bal
ance of Premselaar's bank o In
the West Side Truat Company,
When asked about the matter, thu
officials of the bank said that there
was only $50 left to the credit of
Premselaar after $1,000 loan made by
the bank will have been deducted.
Premselaar loaned from the bank 81. 900
on building loan COLLATERAL which was
originally worth about $1,000. When
the loan matured and the money was
not forthcoming they sold his build
ing loan shares to satisfy their obligs-
tions against him, after which there
was left only about $50, According =
Mr.. Fleichman there Will be about 5000
more when the account Is straightene]
out and that his client, by virtue of his
attachment, will get that.
sued Only for $500.
AS evidence OF the loan. Well showed
a check drawn by him to Premselaar
for $1,000. Mr.. F~leischman explained
that they sued only for $500, because
that is the limit of the court. and thai
a suit for the full amount would In
volve a large expense In a higher court
which would not be justified, consider
Ing The fact that there was SO little
money left anyhow.
Simon Premselaar disappeared for
second time after his return from
abroad, in Europe, and has not beer
heard of since.
When the excitement caused by his
first disappearance had quieted dowr
Premselaar was seen on board an in
bound ship from Holland. where he haC
been on a little trip to see his folks, al
was exclusively told in the Evening
STAR. Since then. about six weeks
ago., he has not been seen again.
A few weeks after his first disap.
pearanee II was learned hat his wife
sold all the furniture and that she hat
gone with tho children to live with Ael
brother WE'LL, ..
This action In the East Orange cour'
has. accustomed considerable surpris'
among his friends, and they car as
cribe no reason at all for "the who'll
mysterious business" as one OF then
characterized II.

The government is sending artillery
reinforcements TO the scene. The upris.

EXPENSIVE INVESTIGATION.

WASHINGTON, June 3.--For a cor
poration TO be investigated by the
bureau of corporations Is something
OF a luxury, and even where the bureau
asks for information informally, it is
expensive. 1t is admitted 1t the bureau
of corporations that the United States
Steel Corporation has been put to an
expense of something ove 100000 in
meeting the requests of the bureau Of
information during the five years or
more the bureau has been engaged in
making Investigations of the steel in
dustry. The American Tobacco Com
pany expended something like 500. 00o
in furnishing information, and other
corporations have expended similar
large sums.
