Object TO CONFIRMATION
Until TITLE IS Given

Objection TO the return OF sale OF
the real estate Of tho late George e.
Wheeler. which return was fled by
the administrator OF the estate, George
Turner was made before Chancellor
Curtis in Orphans Court yesterday
afternoon by Walter J. willis, acting
for John u. Graham, purchaser, at
administrator sale OF the Wheeler
property az Seventh and Jackson
streets. Mr. Willis based his objec-
tions to the administrator return OF
sale on the ground that clear title OF
the property could not be given 10 Mr.
Graham and he demanded that the
forfeit money OF S1S3.50 deposited by
Mr.. Graham this amount being 1870
OF the PURCHASE price, be returned TO
his client.
The objection 20 the return OF sale,
together with the demand for the re-
turn OF the forfeit money, brought on
vigorous argument before the chan
cellor Artemas Smith, counsel for
Mr.. Turner. not only contending that
clear title could be passed 10 Mr..
Graham, but also demanding that the
SIS3.5O forfeit money deposited by
/ lMr. Graham be forfeited on the
ground that the purchaser had failed
TO fulfill his obligation in connection
with the purchase Of TIM property.
Chancellor Curtis. after hearing the
argument on both sides, reserved de-
cision until next Wednesday.

WASHINGTON. June 13. - An
nouncing failure Of its plan 20 relieve
the news print paper situation and
predicting panic prices unless the
government steps in, the federal trade
commission today asked congress- to
authorize government pooling
scheme to insure an equitable dis
tribution Of the product to consumers
and fair profit to manufacturers.
Under the new plan all producing
plants would be operated on govern
mcnt account and n federal agency
would be created to set a fair price
and effect fair distribution. The
Canadian government would be asked
TO create n similar agency to act
Jointly with officials in this country
in distributing the big Canadian out
put. If such a Canadian agency were
not created all importations into the
United States would be under govern
ment supervision.
The distribution plan worked out to
restore competition and give relief
from high prices failed, the report
says, because there was no authority
to enforce its terms and the manufac-
turers did not abide by 1t. Only leg
islation along the line recommended
can avert now very serious result in
prices, II is declared, the respect being
that the 1917 output will cost con-
sumers sos, 100000 instead of S70,-
100000 as last year, with half the in
crease representing additional manu-
