malnder later. The total value Of the two
shipments is sl.bo0.Ooo. Much OF the
insurance on the Matanzas has been taken
by the Government war risk insurance
bureau.
The dyes will be used largely in calicos
and ginghams and woollen fabrics. Her
man Metz. whose firm Ia largely Interested
In these shipments, said yesterday that the
supply will last about six weeks. In four
weeks another cargo * expected. The
dyes comprise all the anillne colors and
will enable cotton goods concerns TO pro-
coed under normal conditions. It Ia ex-
pected said Mr.. Metz. that importa-
lions will continue regularly. He secuted
the idea OF manufacturing these dyes In
this country. for the reason that they
require n large Investment which Few
men in the trade think could be got back
In other quarters Of the dyestun and
cotton goods trades II was said that there
IA some fear that later the supply OF
dyestuffs will become scarce because Of
the cessation or partial cessation OF th'
manufacture OF them in Germany.

MAsSAPEQUA SUIT STARTED.
Property of CTS Lot and Hone
Owners said 10 he Jeopardizcd.

Through n suit In foreclosure filed yes
terday In the Nassau County Court the
interests of 675 lot and home owners NJ
on tho south shore or Long
Island are jeopardized. Tho suit was
started by the Title Guarantee and Trust
Company as trustee, against the Queens
Land and Title Company. owners ana
developers of many hundred acres at
ssapeoua to collect mortgage for
S36s 900, and the 675 individuals are named
as codefendants as s!gners or contracts 70
purchase land or homes on which fun
payments have not been made or OF land
which has not been released from the
blanket mortgage. II Is stated that many
of the individuals are stu ignorant or
the fact that their properties were not
released from the mortgage.
The title company is merely acting az
trustee for the bondholders or the com
many and has no financial interest In
the matter. The company defaulted ahout
a year ago on tho interest on It's bonds
and since that time has been unable 10
meet It's obligations. When In 1908 Al
len p Haight started tho development
Of Massapequa under the title of the
Queens Land and Title Company he gave
a mortgage for 100000, about sl32.OOO
OF which has been paid Off as tho land
was sold.
II was said yesterday at the office OF
the Title Guarantee and Trust Company
that unless the persons who have pur'
chased land and houses from the Queens
company club together and raise enough
money to pay or tho encumhrances or
their properties they are likely 10 lose
through tho foreclosure suit whatever
equities they have. !. WAS estimated re
Gently that the Haights had taken in M
less than $4,000, 900 from the sale of lane
nj Massapequa. besides what they haV'
realized on the sale OF bonds.

PREDICTS A BIG TRADE WAR.
u. =. steel Advocate Says Conflict
VIII Follow Europe's War.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 2s.-At the conclu-
sion Of his argument In defence OF the
United States Steel Corporation to-day
John q. Johnson predicted that an indus
trial war involving all nations will follow
the conflict In Europe. lie said the United
states would require the strength OF the
United States Steel Corporation to uphold
lite business prestige In the battle
Mr.. johnson appeared as tho final adj
vocate for the corporation in the suit
for dissolution now in progress In the
Circuit Court OF Appeals.
We are asked" he said. 30 dismenber
this vast corporation into miserable parts,
which would entail the loss OF billions
OF dollars not only to- its directors but
TO all classes in the country. including
wage earners.
After the war In Europe ia over we
shall have another war-a war of in
dustry. II the Government policy of de-
struction OF these huge enterprises Ia con-
tinued the United States will lose the
only bulwark on which It might depend
to stem foreign invasion. This nation
should conserve Its strength and it's en-
terprises, and not destroy them"
Tho text OF the defence was founded on
his assertion that the Sherman law was
not designed TO prevent normal compe-
tition and that no one who has studied
tho spread OF the steel industry in recent
years may. without ridlcule, accuse the
steel combine of restraining trade

by insurance difficulties. II was said yes
terday by n large underwater that despite
tho absence Of the British companies from

10 parts other than those OF Great Britain
and her allies, because Of their agree
ment with the British Government not

There would have been no insurance on

seizure exemption clause, II the British
Government had not declared It's intention
20 allow cotton shipments to go un-
touched. The amount OF insurance with
out the conditional clause Is now daily
increasing.
