Will
TAKE ARCHDUKE'S
AUSTRIANESTATES
Syndicate Plans to Sue
For Sequestered
Properties.
Especial Gable to The Washington Herald
and United News.)

(speciAl Gable TO The Washington Herald
and United News.)
PARIS, Sept. 11.-Under an agree
ment by American nnanciers, a syn
dicate has been formed to take
over the exploitation and manage
mept of the confscated estate of
Archduke Frederick of Austria. The
prewar value Of the estate was
5000 200, 900.
The syndicate includes Charles
Sabin. ]. Leonard Replogle, Frank
Munsey. Thomas Fielder and william
Honnald. Samuel Untermyer has
been retained as counsel
VIII Sue for Seized Property.
In addition to exploiting the es-
tates the syndicate plans to press
claims against the new states carved
out of Austria Hungary, in, which
are sequestered the archduke's
properties. This hiding of proper
ties is said to be in violation of the
peace treaty. since it is contended
that the archduke is a private citi-
zen anu merely d t1dpSDuTB Dy the
most distant relationship. Further
more, his fortune was privately ac-
cumulated through industrial ven
lures, and in no part due to royal
gifts or concessions.
The properties include steel works,
mines, large forest tracts near vi
emma, dairies, beet sugar plantations
and factories, apartments. palaces,
castles and the Albertina museum
in Vienna, which Austria recently
confiscated.
Sees Violation of Treaties.
Untermyer pointed out that If
hereditary states could conhscate
private property in violation of
treaties, there was no reason why
they should not disregard other
stipulations.
The syndicate members have been
assured, according to Fielder, by
the United States State Department
and the French foreign office that
there was no objection to the in
vestmsnt- Legal proceedings will be
started at once, and the syndicate
members plan to introduce iAmeri-
can methods in operating the es-
tates.

would give same. As you have not
called we have given 800 to Mrs.
Gurley for the Associated Charities
