Scrap of Paper May Be Worth Half a Million

NEW YORK, July 16.-A scrap of paper that for five generations has reposcd between the covers. of q faded copy of Spencer's Faerie Queene, may mean wealth and lux ury to Alfred Watkins Seymour, keeper of a small restaurant in Sc attle
 The paper is certificate of 67 shares of stock in the Mechanics Bank. left by Thomas Williams, who .,.:ad in New York in 1922. It's actual value, together with accrued interest, was declared to amount to half million dollars.
 The certificate had dropped out of sight. but was discovered by a genealogist, who was going through a library in the household of fam fly in Troy, N. r.. where Seymour had had sister and an aunt. Sey mour has established, it was assert ed, that Williams was his great grandfather and that he is now the sole heir to his property. His claim has been substantiated in several courts, but a legal battle is still in progress.
 The bank, now known by virtue of various mergers as the Mechanics X Metals National Bank, maintains that it has no record of the issue of stock and pleaded the statute of linn itations. Supreme Court Justice Wagner recently ruled against this plea but attorneys for the bank de clared they would carry the case to higher courts.
