UNUSUAL REAL ESTATE
SUIT IS BEING TRIED

To prevent abstracts of title to
lots in the Madison Terrace subdi-
vision of Hammond from being en-
numbered by liens, the Madison
Realty Co. yesterday afternoon
went into court and enjoined At
torney H. e. Granger and David L
Aiken. a teaming contractor. from
carrying out their threat to plaster
lien on the entire property.
The suit is an unusual one and
will be watched closely by real es-
tate dealers and attorneys alike.
as it is believed to be the first time
the injunction has been resorted to
to prevent n so-called slander of
title.
The complaint states that when
the Madison Realty Co. was or
ganized to market lots of the Madi-
son Terrace subdivision. the Ham
mond Board of Works was petit
toned to order hard surfaced
street constructed. This went
through and contracts were let to
the United Construction Co. Part
of the work was sublct to David L
Aiken
fications. 1t is said that Aiken
then put in a bill for extra work
necessitated by these changes. The
plaintiffs hold that the changes
made less work for Aiken.

HARRISBURG. Pa. May 1.-THE
women of Pennsylvania are keep
ing the old time politicians guess
ing today as they have seldom had
to guess before.
On Tuesday the women of Penn
sylvania will go to the polls in the
first statewide primary in which
they have had the right to partici-
pate since they w.Ss given the bal
lot
They may or may not upset the
conflicting calculations and predic-
tions as to the vote Clifford Pinchot.
one time Roosevelt Progressive. and
Attorney General George E. Alter,
his opponent for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination. will poll.
1t Is not denied by the Alter
spokesmen that Pinchot. the FORM
er personal friend and ally of
Theodore Roosevelt, IS himself giv-
ing them as bad a scare as are the
women. The factional strife that
has been going on incessantly with
in the ranks of the professional
Republican politicians of the state
since the death of Boise Penrose
has not only been helpful 10 Pin
chot but was largely responsible
for his gubernatorial candidacy de-
veloping quickly from insignificant
to formidable proportions, from
what the old line politicians re-

DOUBLE
DRIVE IS
$4,000 SHY

1t looked very much at noon to-
day as though $4,000 would be
about the limit on contributions in
the Hammond campaign for funds
for the Boy Scouts and Salvation
Army.
Solicitors are throwing up their
hands in despair and saying they
can't rake up another penny The
Super Committee has been able to
wearing some additional funds from
the had shells" but the wreckers
are not confident of swelling the
total greatly.
This leaves the campaign $4,000
short of the desired total. Failing
to reach $4,000 wi1l@make a num-
of changes necessary in the plans
for the Boy Scout summer camp.
1t will not be possible to pay cash
for the camp site in Michigan and
thereby gain a substantial reduc-
tion in the price. Improvements on
the grounds may also be held down
by this lack OF funds.
But Chairmen Hannauer and Bun
nell have not given up hopess of
making the quota.
While the drive oficially ends to-
night. there are still a number OF
solicitors who have parts of their
territory to cover. They have
their books and will keep at it next
week. So IL you are approached
by solicitor next week don't hes
itate to make your contribution IL
you have not already done so. The
money is needed.
Probably the greatest example of
hard wark and persistence brought
out by the drive was by the COM
mittee composed of Pete Brahos,
Paul Klitzke and S. D. Korellas.
They had the restaurants. the laun-
dries and a couple other places.
They were told to get $500. Today
they turned in $3.50 and insist they
will get some more. They have
been working late every evening
since the compaign started.

Instead of fling suit to collect
the amount. Aiken through Attor-
ney Granger notified the Madison
Realty Co. that he was going to
place a lien upon the entire prop
erty unless the bill of $500 was
paid.
The realty company did some ng-
uring. They had the choice of pay
ing the bill without contest or be-
ing put to some 5000 expense in
writing up the abstracts of the in
dividuai lots. There are 500 lots
in the tract and there would be
fees Of SO for each lot.
The injunction was decided upon.
In the hearing before Judge Critics
in Room OF the Superior court,
Attorney Glen Peters OF Bonberser.
Peters & Morthland. represented
the realty company. while Attor-
neys Crumpacker e. Crumpacker
appeared in the interests of the

Granger appeared for himself and
Mr.. Aiken. The court granted a
temporary restraining order and
set the matter for hearing next
Tuesday. A supplemental bill
Rose one of the defendants. He Is
restrained from recording any lien
which Granger and Aiken may at
tempt to file against the property
in question.

GREATER
MERGER
COMING
Remaining 6 Steel Concerns
to Go Ahead With
Consolidation
BY GLENN GR1swoLD

CHICAGO, May 13. - 1t can be
said officially that the present steel
mergers achieved and discussed are
but the window trimming for a
greater merger which, If accom-
plished, will constitute a company
very nearly aprroximating the size
of the United States Steel Corpora
tion. The withdrawal Of Lacka-
wanna Steel from the seven-com-
pany merger about to be closed,
and it's consolidation with Bethle-
hem Steel is but a tactical step to-
ward the big combination which IS
the ultimate aim of those engin-
eering present deals.
1t is the intention of the promot-
ers of this scheme to make a half
way step first and await the verdict
of the public and the government
on that portion OF the final merger.
The remaining six of the former
seven company merger plan will
be consolidated as contemplated.
Then II the public and officialdom
nre in a frame OF mind to permit
II. these and other companies prob
ably will be brought together in
one great corporation.
Those in Chicago who have been
taking a leading part in the plans
for the merger OF seven minor com
panies. NJ j lie. Lackawanna.
Youngstown Sheet & Tube. Repub-
lie. Inland. Steel & Tube Company.
and Briar Hill. are not at all per-
turbed by the fact that Lackawan-
ma has gone to Bethlehem. They
view the move as one toward a
common end and are confident that
IL the six-companv merger and
that Of Bethlehem and Lackawanna
are acceptable, the more important
move can be made in the near 'fu-
ture.
The LAFollette resolution and the
reply il may draw from the Federal
Trade Commission or the Depart
ment Of Justice are not particularly
feared by those managing the meI
ger at this time. 1t is believed that
public sentiment today is more fav-
orable TO such a merger than at
any time since the Sherman act was
passed.
Decentralization of the steel bust
ness has been an important factor
in delaying the return OF business
prosperity and this demoralizatio
Is largely accounted for by the fact
that competition and overhead
waste has been too much of drag
on more than half Of the industry.
With the formation of company
slightly smaller than the United
States Steel Corporation. competi-
tion would be increased rather
than diminished. The saving to
users of steel would be enormous
from the frst. This Is proved by
the history of the United States
Steel Corporation which started
out as a highly inflated merger with
nothing behind It's common stock
but water. It has done more for
the business welfare of the United
States than any other one institu-
tion within our border.
President Grace and Chairman
Schwab OF the bethlehem Corpor-
alton has nc intention of entering
the west and that this policy ac-
counts for the fact that 1t aban-
doped attempts to acquire control
Of Inland Steel. There is no reason
for doubling the word OF either of
them However. this does not pre-
vent Bethlehem Steel as 1t is now
constituted from being acquired by
an entirely new company organized
to take over It and other corpora
tions.
