SEIZED GOODS
RETURN ASKED
Property Held by Alien Gus,
todian During War
Sought.

Ernest Israel, of Manila P. l..
and Kommerzienrat Bernard Lust,
of New York City, filed suits yes
terday in the District Supreme
Court to recover a total Of ssJ, 800
which they claim was seized from
them by the alien property cos
todian during the war.
Israel claims the custodian took
all the shares of stock of the
Manila Drug Company under the
trading with the enemy act" and
later transferred this stock to other
persons named by him and had
these persons sell out the stock, to-
gether with the other assets of the
company. He demands that the
government reimburse him for his
l5 per cent interest in the business,
which ne claims amounts to $4,000.
Lust declares that "fOr love and
affection" he transferred $500 in
cash and stocks to Fritz Lust, his
SON, in March, 1917, just before the
United States entered the war and
that this property was seized by
the alien property custodian.

New Freight Rates Will Ad-

Official.
By Universal Service.

The American public will pay at
least s75,OOO,OOO a year more for it's
coal as a result of the increased
freight rates granted to the rail-
roads by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
George H. Cushing, director Of
the American Wholesale Coal AS
ISOLATION, said last night the rate
increases will add $50, 900, 900 to the
nations soft coal bill and $4,000
600 for hard coal.
The increases will vary accord
ing to the distance the coal Is haul
ed, as the freight charges consti-
tute the chief factor in the cost of
coal. The increased rates on soft
coal, Mr.. Gushing said, will range
from 40 cents to s1.25 a ton, while
on hard coal, which is hauled at
higher rates, the increases will ay-
erage about 81 a ton.
The increases cannot be pryamid-
ed in sales to dealers, he declared.
because the freight rate is billed
separately from the cost of the coal
itself.
