VIII Keep Title Clouded
at Least. a Year LONGER

Sheriff Knott, through his auctioneer,
Henry Brady, sold yesterday for S145,-
900 the right title and interest held
by Mrs. Emma Swift Hammerstein.
widow of Oscar Hammerstein. impre-
sario, in the Manhattan Opera House.
The sale was held at the roal estate
auction rooms in Vcsey Street. The
purchasers were Mrs. Stella II. Heating
and Mrs. Rose Tostevin, daughters of
the founder of the opera house and
stepdaughters Of the present Mrs. Ham
merstein. They brought the proceeding
that resulted in yesterdays sale.
Fifteen months must elapse, however.
before they can have the deed to the
property and, in the mean time, the
opera house, which has suffered from
a financial jinx since Mr.. Hamme erstein
opened it in 1908 in competition with
the Metropolitan Opera House, is likely
to pass through other vicissitudes, for
there are still other actions pending.
Involved Aiimony Guaranty
The action by Mrs. Heating and Mrs.
IoStevln that led up to the sale yes
terday of Mrs. Hammerstein's interest
In the property was one to set aside
the transfer by their father to his sec
ond wife of certain shares of stock
in the Hammerstein Opera Company
and the Hammerstein Amusement Com
pany, which the impresario had de-
posted with trust company as a
guaranty for the payment of 5000 a
week to his first wife, who divorced
him
The terms of the agreement were
that upon the death of the first Mrs.
Hammersten the 5000 n week was to
be divided between the daughters. MIR.
Hammerstein, however, transferred the
shares to his second wife, whereupon
his daughters brought successful ac-
tion to set aside the transfer on the
ground of fraud Former Justice
Francis H. Scott, as referee, decided
that Mrs. Heating and Mrs. Tostevin
were entitled to $143,324 and that this
claim was a lien on the Manhattan

supported the minority report and
urged government control of all indus
tries. He challenged critics of the
resolution to charge openly that it was
"soc'alistic or Red" declaration.
When Frank Morrison, secretary of
the Federation, took the floor at ,the
opening of the afternoon session, in
support of the minority report, he was
given an ovation.
Il don't see any reason" he said.
why labor should hesitate to declare
itGelf for legislation that provides for
enactment of agreements that would
enable labor to meet the employers
face to face on the same basis of
equality. Why hesitate to enact legis-
iatlon that will enable the workers to
have some voice in regard to fixing
wages and working conditions?"
1he action of the convention on the
Irish resolution completed the defeat of
the supporters of the boycott declara-
ton, which they asserted had been
drafted by "high officials of the Irish
republic" The boycott supporters con-
tested every effort TO bring the sympa-
thetic resolution to vote, without it's
boycott provisions, by raising points of
order and attempting to have the entire
matter referred back to the committee
Tor reconsideration
The Irish resolution adopted by the
convention was drafted by a committee
OF Irish sy1npathizers headed by Peter
Brady, of New York, who opposed the
boycott This declaration reaffirmed
the action of the Montreal convention
IN supporting the Irish people in their
struggle for freedom and for recogni-
tion of the Irish republic and in
structed Federation executive officers
and asked all national and interna-
tional unions to urge the Administra-
ton officials at Washington and all
members of Congress to Immediately
pass legislation recognizing the Irish
republic.
viii Protest to Lloyd George
1t also provided for the sending Of
special communication to the British
Parliament protesting against "the
campaign of violence in Ireland"
The declaration instructed fedora
ton officers to take up with trade
unions of Great Britain, her colonies
and dominions a proposal to inaugurate
campaign for the trial and punish
ment of members of the British regu
lar and auxiliary forces guilty Of afro
cities in Ireland in manner similar
to that in which German officers are
now being tried and punished for viola
tion of the rules of warfare in France
and Belgium.
The preamble of the resolution
charges the British government and
capitalists with conducting Campaign
of most uncivilzed character" in Ire
land.
The British government was also
charged with disregarding cts pledge
so solemnly made" to give freedom to
the Irish people, and, it was stated, now
stands revealed before the world as
Irish people who look for freedom
after centuries of mistreatment at the
hands of the British government was
again betrayed"

MUNICIPAL WHITE ELEPHANT

When Seattle paid 100000
for municipal street car line it
bought an expensive white elephant.
The city council has Just raised
fares a second time from G y. cents
to l-3 cents and 10 cents for
single fares.
The city has no control over the
men who operate the cars and hun
dreds get a full days pay for two
hours work.
The unearned street car payrolls
being political, the bonded interest
funds must be taxed $4,000 To
meet them
As all political conduct OF bust
ness enterprises is about 100 per
cent less efficient than private man
agement, the tax payers are asked To
dig up S500,00'a year to make up
the deficit.
But that is not all. The $500, 900
deficit at the end of 1920 for the
first years operation will reach
s1.610,000 by the end OF 1921 and
the public ownership theorists Will
continue to theorize.

COMPETITION IN FARM LOANS

II Is sound maxim that n
monopoly or exemption from taxa
tion for any one class does not
produce efficiency in finance or
government.
The constitutionality of the fed
eral farm loan bank act is awaiting
decision before the supreme court
fof the United States. on the ques-
tion of exempting the bonds from
taxation.
Federal and state farm loan bonds
are exempted from taxation but
private loan companies and bonds
of farm loan mortgages and asso-
Citations are taxed.
This works hardship on all
banks and farm loan corporations
that are taxed on their capital and
issues of securities to secure cap
ital.
With the tide OF investments in
non-taxable securities growing every
day and excess profits and income
taxes dwindling, where are the rev
enues of the government to come
from?
AS matter OF justice and fair
play there should be competition
on equal terms before the law be-
tween private capital and govern
ment activities in any line or pri-
vate capital will be driven out OF
the farm loan business

BEAVER TURNS DOWN BUTTER
FACTORY

The banks OF Beaver have been
criticized To some extent for turn
ing down the butter factory propo-
sition that was presented to them
and the citizens of the town and
community recently. but. since
thoroughly investigating the propo-
Rition, l for one, feel thoy did the
community kindness. The propo-
sition was to raise $4,000 OF which
100000 was TO be used to build
and, equip the butter factory; s5.-
900 to go to the promoters for
yelling the stock and $4,000 to be
placed in trust fund TO draw
per cent interest, compounded semi
annually which. in case the butter
factory failed. would in some is
wears pay back the investor his or
iginal dollar. In the first place
I do not believe that town sur
rounded by as poor quality OF
dairy cattle as the average town
In this country is. would support
n butter factory on a paving basis.
II IL would. then why not build
one and save the $4,000 promotion
fees and the chances are $4,000
would build one large enough for
the entire county or more, and
thereby save another $4,000. What
we need in Beaver county is bet
ter class of milk cows and when
we have succeeded in improving
them TO the proper degree. we can
establish a creamery or butter fac
tory and IL will be self supporting
from the start. The inducement
held out to the banks was that
they would have S25. 900 that would
cost them 4 per cent and. in turn.
could loan at 10 per cent (which
no doubt they could easily do at
this time) and To the investor. the
fact that he would get his dollar
back. IL the plant failed. The
smallest amount of stock any one
could buy was to be Sl0O and
believe that at this time there are
very few farmers or any one else
who have Sl00 that they care to
lie up for 3 years. without interest
which would have been the case if
the butter factory failed TO pay a
dividend IL seems 20 me that the
banks surely had the interest OF
their customers at heart ar else
they would have been in for the
proposition as IL would have been
oil to gain and nothing 10 lose
for them.

LETTING NEWSPAPERS sTaRvr

The local newspaper is always
pleading for the support OF the
home merchant and yet many of
them are slowly starving to death
because of lack OF patronage from
such merchants
The business man and the banker
appreciate the home paper that
fights radicalism in all its forms
in campaign and then forget il
The office seekers are inclined TO
throw something to the newspaper
when campaign is one and they
want the support OF the voter.
But once in office and the country
editor is usually forgotten and he
gets off well IL laws are not enacted
to put him out of business
Better support of the home paper
would be the greatest wisdom IN
view of the support It gives the
home. II for no other reason.

the starvation OF the Armenian peo.
pie before the next harvest can be
gathered. President Ohand ndJanian's
message reads:
owing to hail. rain and field
mice, the harvest In Armenia fell
below expectations. Standing crops
appeared well. but owing TO poor
seed, returns were not as good as
was expected. Maximum returns
10000 tons, only sufficient for eight
months for one and a half million
people. Food crisis critical and In
tensiiied by new Turkish invasion
Of Armenia. II II estimated that
100000 peaceful inhabitants OF
Sarikamish and Kars region have
been forced to renew the life OF
refugees and fee towards the In
terror Of Armenia. There are also
large numbers fleeing from Bolshe-
viks In Azerbaijan and Southern
Russia, and coming to Armenia.
Farmers, fearing famine. are un-
willing to sell crops, thus leaving
the cities foodless. In addition to
the Armenian crops, ten thousand
tons have been purchased from
nelghboring countries.
''In order to save Armenia II is
necessary to secure -four from
America. $4,000 tons, maximum re-
quircment. In the name OF the Ar
