.CUSTOD|AN'S POWER
NOT ABRIDGED
Col. MilIer's Authority Over Alien
Property Increased by Peace
Resolution.

Special Dispatch TO Every Evening.
Washington, Aug. 2T.-An important
decree has been handed down by the
Surrogate's Court of New York af-
fecting the alien property custodian, n,
that official, Colonel Thomas w. Miller.
Of Delaware, pointed out today. Under
the Trading With the Enemy act, the
alien property custodian had demanded
the payment of certain iegacies in the
estate of Theodore Siedenburg, a de-
ceased enemy alien. but the funds had
not been reduced TO possession before
the passage of the joint resolution
terminating the state of war between
this country and Germany. and ap-
proved by the President on July 2, 1921
In spite of the fact that this reso-
luton expressly continues the control
of all property demanded by the alien
property custodian until further dis
position is made by Congress. the at
torneys for the estate saw fit TO bring
proceeding against the alien property
custodian in Surrogate's Court, with
a view TO preventing him obtaining
the funds of the estate.
This is the first decree which has
been handed down upon which any
question has been raised since the
adoption Of the peace resolution on
July 2, and il is claimed il conclusiyely
shows that the alien property GUS
todian's authority under that resolu-
tion has not been abridged, but, if
anything. has been strengthened
