WASHINGTON, Sept. IA compre-
hensive report on the Green Star Steam
ship Corporations contracts with the
United States Shipping Board covering
the purchases of American government
tonnage is being studied by Chairman
A. b. Lasker with view to placing all
the details before the full membership
OF the board for action on the request
of the company for financial relief
The report, which took two weeks to
compile, contains 40 pages, and it has
not yet been completely read by the
Shipping Board chairman. The survey
goes into all phases Of the numerous
contracts entered into by the Green
Star lines and the former Shipping
Board, modification of which is now
sought by the company to save it from
rcceivership.
Chairman Lasker would not indicate
what action the board could take on the
request of the company for a rebate on
the tonnage charge originally agreed to,
but it was learned to-day that Elmer
Schieslnger, general counsel, is of the
opinion that the board has no power to
reduce the tonnage rates without spe-
cifc authority from Congress.
Should the board grant the request
OF the Green Star Line, forty one other
pioneer shipping companies which pur-
chased bottoms from the government
when the market was high, undoubtedly
VIII seek similar concessions, and the
board will make no decision until all
angles of the situation are studied.
Chairman Lasker Indicated.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 13.-Fnes
totaling $l1 1928 were imposed by Judge
Robert H. Ingersoll here this morning,
when 105 violators of the Van Ness
state prohibition law faced the court.
great majority pleaded non vult, a
tacit admission of guilt.
All of the defendants were caught in
the dragnet of Special Prosecutor Bur-
ton Gaskill. They had been apprehen-
sive as to the action the court might
take, many fearing that Jail sentences
would be imposed.
In addition, most of the saloon and
cafe men had fully expected that if
Jail sentences were not imposed heavy
fines would be levied, ranging from
$3.50 to $500 for proprietors and from
$50 to 5000 for bartenders.
They cheered up when they discov-
cred that almost without exception
the fines were SITS for proprietors and
$75 for employees.

GENEVA, Sept. 13.--The American
syndicate which has taken over the
management and one-thrd interest in
the S4oo,ooo,0oo holdings cf the Arch
duke Frederick of Austria and his SON.
Archduke Albrecht, will receive no
help from the League of Nations in
it's efforts to obtain the estates taken
over or confiscated by former enemy
nations of Austria or by the states
which formerly were part Of Austria
= ngary, according TO indications
here
Furthermore, delegates from these
governments to the Assembly of the
League now IN session here have pri-
vately expressed the view that their
government would not release these
holdings without compehsation
The Hapsburg holdings are under
the control of the General Real Estate
and Trust Company of Geneva and the
properties consist of estates in italy,
Rumania, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia.
Austria and Hungary. They include
rich mineral and forest lands and great
industrial plants.
Principals in Paris

dicate include J. Leonard Replogle,
Cnarles II. Sabln, Frank A. Munsey
and DR.. Hugh Young. Samuel Unter-
myer and Thomas Fielder, of New York,
representing the Americans. are now
IN Paris and are reported to have
closed the deal
The properties have been taken over
or sequestered by the governments in
which they are located and Rene Vivl-
ami, former Premier of France, who
has been retained as counsel for the
General Real Estate and Trust Com
pany, intends to bring before the league
the matter of obtaining the release of
the estates on the ground that confis-
cation was violation of the Treaty OF
St. German. The basis of his claim
is that Article POS of the treaty pro-
vides for the confscation Of all estates
of reigning royal families and that
neither Archduke Frederick nor his
son has been reigning family.

vention between private enterprises

The New Play
BY Percy Hammond
''OnIy 38' Is a Quiet Idyll
Telling How Il Clergy
mans Widow Found
the Sunshine


This checry little affair provides
placid evening in the theater by illus
trating, in a humorous and simple man
ner, how an elderly parsons pretty
widow turned autumn into springtime
and just before we went to cur homes,
doffed her weeds for orange blossoms.
You know the sort of lady-a pleas
ing chrysals at the beginning, meta
morphosed by circumstances and hered-
ity into lovely butterfly at the end,
all gay and happy aud flutterng. Miss
Mary Ryan was this likable object last
night at the Cort, in A. E. Thomas's
Only Thirty-eight." She looked con-
sdcrably under thirty eight, especially
after she had begun to take the sunny
side of the street, and she was so
twlnkllng person that it was small
wonder that she captivated one of the
handsome deans of Sinclair University,
the identical pedagog, in fact, at whom
her young daughter was casting the
ycarnins eye of admiration.
1t was this daughter and her twin
brother who made the widows situa-
ton more intricate. They were true
progeny of their stony father, who had
been pious and venerable pulpiteer,
directing his flock along the steepest
and thorniest ways to heaven. They
were rendered uneasy by their moth
er's worldly inclinations, the daughter
very much so, since suItors calling to
see her remained to regard her par
ent with excessive APPRECIATION. The
widows father, however, as richly
played by Percy Pollock, was some
thing of scamp. He bequeathed to
her an ambition for the brighter
things, having passion himself for
hard cider and Lillian Russell cigars.
This old chap was among the plays
particularly amusing persons. In the
third act he described visit to New
York, where he saw the Woolworth
BUILDING, the Aquarium, the Midnight
Frolic, George Nj. Cohan, Cvney ISL
and and the Waldorf Astoria 81 GER
tainly give that village a good scrap
in,' said he. And without a suspi-
con of bathos he told his daughter that
the thing which impressed him most
among his adventures was his pill
Grimage to the tomb of General Grant.
Il was very nice of Mr.. Thomas not
to make a honey pot out of "Only
Thirty eight" when there were so many
temptations for him to do so. There
wasn't maudlin moment in it while
was IIclt, anu iLS SciIiillcHL always
had the SAVIOR of humor The cast was
above par. including Harry Browne as
the Professor, and among the charac-
ters there were some delightful bits.
Neil Martin and Miss Ruth Nero played
The widows offspring, and as students
of an inland college they were delecta-
bly, individual. A bright fragment of
An abashed sophomore was contributed
by Leon Cunningham, and Miss Kate
Mayhem as a village churchwoman
offered few minutes of atmospheric
comedy. The play is an honest, amusing,
we'll written little thing, and if you
do not insist on too much hcft in your

ed on a short story by Walter Prich-
ard 1taton.

involving serious doubt whether the
league has jurisdiction In matters of
private international law. SO far the
league has not touched any of the
economic or financial clauses of the
peace treaties, nor has it machinery
Tor doing so, The Tribune is informed.
The syndicate's claim that the ma
tons involved are violating the peace
treaties in refusing to give up the
archducal properties raises question
OF private international law, purely
between the nations and the syndicate
league experts point out, indicating
that the syndicate will find little aid
here in attempting to deprive nations,
all members of the league, of proper
ties which they seized under treaties
royal family of the empire was over
thrown.
Opinions Clash
The view of the syndicate is that the
holdings are private enterprises of the
royal family, and therefore outside of
treaty authorization or national seiz-
ure.
On the other hand, the opinion is ex-
pressed here privately by delegates
from some of the states involved that
tne hatloHS are WlCnln their legal
rights in maintaining that all estates
of royalty are public property, be-
cause all royal fortunes, whether even
tually augmented by private enterprise
or not, are built UP from public funds.
II the contention that the matter is
outside the scope of the leagues juris-
diction is maintained. then the syndi-
cate may be able to interest the am
bassadorial council in Paris, which,
representing the Allied and associated
powers. will be able to interpret mat
ters in the treaties involving private
international law.
