Alien Property Custodian
Is Title of New Official
Created Since War Began

"Alien property custodian" Il the 4.
tie Of a new Official created by an act
of congress Of October 6, 1917, known
as the trading with the enemy act"
1t relates to the handling and dispo-
sition Of productive properties in the
country previously owned and oper-
ated by companies or corporations Of
country now at war with the United
States. In effect, 1t confscates such
properties, temporarily, leaving their
final disposition for future settlement.
Section 6 of the act says:
'"That the president Is author
lied to appoint, prescribe the duties of
and fix the salary (not to exceed
5000 per annum) Of an official to be
known as the alien property custo-
dian, who shall be empowered to re-
ceive all money and property In the
United States due or belonging to an
enemy, or ally Of an enemy, which may
be paid, conveyed, transferred, assign.
ed or delivered to said custodian un-
der the provisions Of this act, and to
hold, administer and account for the
same under the general direction Of
the president and SO provided in this
act"

personal representatives Of the Ger.
man government, perhaps even the
kaiser himself, have become stock
holders in certain business concerns
in this country and the "alien property

to root them out.

COTTON OIL MEN
RESENT ATTACK

According to statement made this
morning by Manager C. l.. Mcmillan
of the Empire Cotton Oil Company
the mills are doing all they can to
meet the congested movement of cot
ton seed in this section of the state.
1t has been necessary to avoid stock
ing great amounts of moist cotton
seed on account of rapid injury accord
ing to Mr. Mcmillan. 1t is also true
that numbers of mills heretofore de-
pendent upon electrical power, are
on account of low water, now unable
to proceed with their operation and
in Albany there has been marked
congestion for this cause.
Mr.. Mcmillan states that the mills
are doing all in their power to take
care of the seed as they come, but
this will not be possible where the
rush is too great,
Mr.. Mcmillan points out that every
one of them now operation under re-
gulations laid down by the Food Adj
minstration and the mills must follow
instructions.
