REEVES FIGHT OVER
BANK STOCK OF 1922
Heirs Seek NetD Mechanics
and Metals Issue.

When Thomas williams "of Now York
City. Manhattan Island. N. T." died in
1929, his heirs came into possession OF
sixty-seven shares OF stock OF the Me-
chanics Bank. which was organized In
1910. This stock forms the basis of q
court action which was instituted In the
Supreme Court In 1913 and was revived
yesterday before Justice Giegerich when
q motion was introduced to have the
statute OF limitations applied to the suit
now pending. Tho present day heirs Of
the Williams estate arc plaintiffs.
The stock was lost sight of from 1923
until 1852. when one of the executors of
the Williams estate died 1t again
dropped out of sight and did not reap
pear until 1913. when Alfred w. Sey-
mour was appointed executor.
1t developed that three years after the
original executors death> the old hank
expired through charter limitations. but
was reorganized as the Mechanics Bank
OF New York, which became a national
bank after the civil war. The successor
to the original bank later was merged
with another institution under the name
of the Mechanics and Metals National
Bank, capitalized at 36.000,000.
This bank Is the defendant in the pres
emit action. through which the Williams
heirs seek the issuance OF stock in the
present day bank to the face value Of
the old certificates. together with divi-
bends since 1852. The bank stock is now
worth approximately $500 a share. Jus
tice Giegerich reserved decision.

Paris, June 24.-The military govern

PREPARATION DELAYS
AUSTRIAN TREATY
Small Eastern States Unable
to Agree,
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, June 24.-The question of
preparations is still delaying completion
Of the Austrian treaty owing to the
difficulty of aligning the small Eastern
States on any general scheme for a
division Of the financial obligations and
the claims resulting from the breakup
of the Hapsburg monarchy. with con-
sequent elimination of its responsibility
for reparations.

States inheriting parts of the Haps
burg domains, including Poland, Czecho-
SlovalSia, Jugo-S lavia and Rumania. for
several weeks. but the results have been
unsatisfactory to the Council of Four,
and French experts are now trying their
hand.
The problem Is decidedly complicated
because, on the one hand, II is planned
to charge these States with a share OF
the Austro- Hungarian financial respon-
sibilities proportionate to the area and
resources OF the Hapsburg territorities
acquired by them, under the guise OF
contributions to the cost of the war OF
liberation" while, on the other hand.
Rumania and Serbia are entitled to or
sets for reparations due them.
Poland and Czecho- Slovakia are not
entitled to reparations under the general
principle OF the Austrian and German
treaties, which limit reparations to the
actual belligerents during the war.
Certain changes in the permanent
reparations commission are also being
made to adapt 1t to Austrian condi-
lions. The German treaty provided only
for Serbian membership in certain con-
tingencies. But all these States will be
given seats and votes when their inter-
ests are involved.
All sums delivered from Austrian,
Hungarian and Bulgarian reparations
will be pooled with the proceeds OF the
German PREPARATIONS for division among
the interested States in proportion TO
proved claims. This is a departure from
the plan contemplated in the German
instrument. which provided for a d.
vision according to prearranged quotas.
