Special Dispatch TO THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. July 9. }
The demand to be made this week on
the Chemical Foundation of New York
to hand over to Col. Thomas W. Miller,
the Alien Property Custodian. the pat
ents given the foundation by the last
Administration, is but the beginning Of
huge unscrambling process.
1t was learned here to-day that the
move against tho Chemical Foundation
is but the initial step on the part of the
Alien Property Custodian to recover for
the United states Government patents
and copyrights confiscated in some cases
without due regard to ownership and
awarded in haphazard way at nominal
price by A. Mitchell Palmer and Francis
+. Garvan, who formerly administered
alien property.
1t Is understood thai the patents con-
fiscated in the Philippines during the
administration of Gov. Burton Harrison
will be looked into. and request made

charge just as Is requested In the case
Of the patents given the Chemical
Foundation.
Gov. Harrisons brother had charge of
the confiscated German patents in the
Philippines and the intimatioE Is made
that the manner OF taking them over
and of disposing of them Is very unsat-
isfactory to Col. Miller and the admin
istration. In any case, the Philippine
patents are next on the list for being
turned back.
There Is an important factor in the
patent situation. which. II is believed
here. is generally overlooked, that Is
the huge financial discount at which
German patents and property rights
were disposed Of The price was in
many cases a mere fraction of the in
trinsic value. This factor assumes
greater degree of Importance, it is
pointed out, when 1t is remembered that
the German Government took over
American property at the actual value
of the mark at the time. but is now
paying Tor them on the basis of the de-
preciated mark. One aim of this Gov
ernment is to realize on the German
property something like its real value.

Gotten ON Public's Nerves.
THE fact is that constant increase OF
governmental expenditure has reached
the point where 1t has gotten on the
publics nerves. and the people Of the
country are beginning to manifest " In
different ways-sometimes In the ballot
box. as in this country sometimes in
strikes. as throughout the world: some
times in riots and bloodshed. as have
taken place from time to time in our
own country---and the first and prime
duty of a party which has the future Of
this country in Its charge Is at all haz-
ards to refrain from increasing obliga-
tion and IL possible to decrease II.
Now. Mr. President, let US look for a
few moments at our own country. we
have at this time an indebtedness OF
about 1000, 900. 900. Our budget is
running from $500. 100000 upward.
According to the report of Mr.. Mellon,
the Secretary of the Treasury, the
sources of taxes In this country are dr.
ing quite as rapidly as In Great Britain
or France That is the situation pre-
sented to us, not as a speculative proro-
sition, but by actual figures.
"At the close OF the civil war I'VE had
an indebtedness, I think. OF about $2,614,-
s15,356. BY 1915 we had reduced the In
debtedness of the Government to $780,

of fifty years we had reduced our public
Indebtedness something over billion

by the past. we now have an indebted
ness which II will take us more than a
thousand years to lift. to say nothing of

But Notwithstanding this great load
and this great burden the people bore
up with marvelously little complaint.
They carried their load scarcely without
a murmur. Why? Because they were
promised upon every hand and from
all parties and from all public men that
we were to have new era ir Govern

for lifting the great burden under which
the millions were bended. We made the
promise. we made it upon every stump

it.

"Are we keeping the promise? Are

"Is there any doubt, Mr.. President.

of the fact that the promises to lift the

pay their taxes.
II have examined the lists in ten of
the great agricultural States of the
Union and thousands of farms are for

fronts us and while the soldiers are dis

we propose without hesitation, 1t seems.

Anastase Andreivitch vonsiatsky re-
sorted to the good, old fashioned Amer
lean word bluff" yesterday to designate
his opinion of the claims of the young
Russian woman who bobbed up in Paris
few days ago declaring herself to be
the original wife OF the young Russian
emigrc. Fe made this statement to the
ecclesiastical authorities of the Russian
Cathedral of St. Nicholas in East
Ninety-seventh street where the young
Russian engineer was married in F'ebru-
airy to Mrs. Marion Stephen Ream. the
Chicago heiress.
At the same time Clarence Blair
Mitchell OF 40 Wall street, attorney for
the Ream family, issued formal state
ment denying that Vonsiatsky had ever
been married before. Immediately upon
the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. vonsiatsky
from Ridley Park. Philadelphia, Mr..
vcnsiatsky went to the rectory of the
Russian Cathedral and had long con-
ference with Archbishop Alexander.
II saw Mr.. Vonsiatsky when he was
at the rectory," said Father Lisen-
KONSky, secretary TO metropolitan f'ldtOH
yesterday, "and he told me the claims of
the woman were all bluff. AS far as
we are concerned the marriage was in
order, as the couple had a license and
complied with the law in every respect.
Although Secretary Lisenkovsky did
not say so, the inference was that the
ecclesiastical authorities did not in
tend to investigate the history of Won
satisfy unless further details were
forthcoming from Paris. Neither do
the Vonsatskys nor their attorneys
apparently fear any further overtures
from overseas
Mr.. Vonsiatsky wishes to deny en-
phatically that he has any wife other
than the lady whom, as Mrs. Stephens,
he married in New York." said Mr..
Mitchell. 1.-THE history Of the woman
calling herself Mrs. Vonsiatsky Is
well known in Paris, where for several
years she had been registered as an
unmarried woman under the name of
Mile. Mouromsky. Her real name is
Gouravitch and she is not Pole, but
a Russian from Mouron. Russia"
The grossly exaggerated reports"
of Mrs. Ream's wealth, Mr.. Mitchell
added were responsible for the noto-
riety given to the stories from Paris.
She has constantly been referred to as
the heiress OF $4,000, 900.
Both she and her husband remained
secluded yesterday in their apartments
at the Hotel Chatham.

trouble. Then, at Mr.. Prentice's behest
he SAID:
