WOULD COLLECT ON
PYLE estate Shares

Chancellor Curtis has handed down
IN opinion tn the matter Of the Sc
curities Company Of North America,
which has been in process Of liQuida-
ton since the fall of 1914 i'll which
le states that the receiver Of the
company, the Wilmington Trust Com.
pany, should be permitted to proceed
against the estate OF William nj. Fyle,
,ormer postmaster and insurance brok-
er of this city, as a stockholder of
the company to collect the amount
unpaid on the shares held BY him.
and a decree will be entered accord
lngly.
The suit has been a tedious and long
drawn out one. The Wilmington
Trust Company had collected all the
assets of the Securities Company and
made a partial payment of the claims
when it was found that the assets
We're not sufficient to meet all the LA
bilities.
The stockholders had paid only 50
per cent. OF the par value of their
stock, il was learned and the receiver
petitioned the chancellor for an order
recurring the stockholders TO pay over
the balance Of their stock subscrip-
tons.
Among the stockholders Of record
was William Nj. Pyle. holding three
shares Of stock and being the resi-
dent director of the Securities Com
pany. c. L. Ward. representing the
administrator of Mr. Pyle. now de-
ceased, filed an answer to the petition
of the receiving company, alleging
that IT, L. Sheppard had originally
subscribed for the three shares Of
stock and by his direction they had
been transferred ON the company 3
books to Mr.. Pyle. so that the latter
might qualify as a resident director.
The testimony was that it was ex-
pressly agreed between Mr. Pyle and
Mr.. Shepard that MIR. Pyle should have
no beneficial interest in the stock. In
1915 at Sheppard's request, the cer-
tifcate was assigned by Mr.. Pyle t.

WHEATLESS DAYS
Two Days Week Will Save lab
Million Bushels.


eff everyone in the country would
eat no wheat products for two days
in the week, it is evident that two
seventies of the wheat consumed
would be saved.
Now multiply that two-sevenths
into the 500 million bushels of that
used annually in the United States
and the saving is 143 million bushels
in round numbers.
TT would be a blessing" DR.. Wiley
continued, "if it were possible to find
out how many housewives have adopt
ed or will adopt of their own Volt
ton, the recommendation for wheat
less days. The percentage who do
this, in my opinion, will be small.
But why confine this suggestion to
housewives? Why not ask the hotels,
restaurants and the dinings cars to do
the~same? That would be a more fruit
full field as the proprietors of the
hotels and restaurants and the man
ayers of the railways could give or
ders and see that they were obeyed."
1t is said on high authority that
this and other suggestions which DR..
Wiley is making thru Good House

first to be considered by Mr.. Hoover

BREAK WITH RULER
Open RuctiOn Between Saxon
Diet and Government.
German Legislature Rebels
Over Failure of Vote Reforms.

Copenhagen, July "a dispatch
from Dresden says the Saxon diet,
which Tuesday warned the govern
ment of a disappearance of the senti-
ment of loyalty toward the king and
also of a coming upheaval unless the
government mends its ways, has now
broken openly with the government.
This action is consequence of the re-
fusal of Count Won Vischum d Eek
stadt, premier of SaXony, to authorize
the diet committee on constitutional
reform to continue its labors during
recess
The diet refused to give the neces-
sary authorization to settle fuel prob
lens and it must therefore, be re-
convoked not later than August. This
will enable the constitutional commit
tee to resume work.

the German empire and is one of four
such states ruled by king (King

Efforts Finally Rewarded.

Chicago, July 6.-After following a
trail for seven years and living in 80
cities in an effort to find their son,
Joseph, Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Kamin-
ski of Detroit, believe today they have
discovered the boy who was taken
from them when 8 years old. The
boy they believe to be their son. is
said to have been adopted by a wealthy
family living at their country place
just west of Chicago.
Records of the case of a boy left
with the Children's Home and Aid So
ciety here years ago and thought by
the Kaminskis to be Joseph. will be
gone over today in the juvenile court
to determine whether the search is
finished for the anxious parents.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Kaminski, her son was taken from
Detroit by Joseph Lemar, Chicago
contractor. who, she said, returned
later to Detroit and killed his wife
and himself after having given the
boy to a miss Dingee of Chicago. The
court records show that the boy they
seek to recover was given to a Mrs

DRAFT RUMOR STIRS
Nothing to Story That First Numbers
Had Been Drawn.

Railway operators dipping in on
outside wire business started a rumor
last night that about fifteen numbers
had been drawn for the draft at
Washington. The story originated in
a market report and a baseball score
to brokerage house as a hoax, it is
said. However. whatever the cause
might have been, the story was I'M
true The newspapers over the coun-
try, if they are as besieged as the State
Journal in Topeka, have been answer
ing thousands of telephone calls in re-
gard to the false report.
When officials at Washington have
drawn for the draft the numbers will
be flashed over the wires and will be
given out as quickly as the newspa-
pers can publish them. Meanwhile
the public should pay no attention to
rumOrS.
