STOCK LAWFULLY SEIZED.
Court Rules Property Custodian
Complied With Statutes.

The District Court Of Appeals yes
terday reversed the action OF the
District Supreme Court, which had
to return to Frederick Schuette, ad-
ministrator Of his father, Carl
Schuette, 1850 shares of Standard Oil
Company stock seized under tho
trading with the enemy act. The
opinion was rendered by Judge
George e. Martin of the United States
Court OF Customs Appeals, who sat
as a member of the local appellate
tribunal.
The court finds that the father was
an alien and the property was law
fully seized; that seven Of the eight
heirs are concededly alien enemies,
and the administrator, although re-
siding in New York. is a citizen OF
Germany. AS the father could not
have been entitled to sue for recov-
cry, his administrator has no higher
right. the court points out.

A TRIPLE ATTRACTION.
Moscow Artists Ensemble. Augment
ed Orchestra and Good Picture.

The program at the Empire Thea

lions offered.
The Moscow Artists Ensemble,
featuring Mile. Nina Sergeyva. pre-
miere danseuse. with Miss Ostrow-
say, Nine. Popova. and Mr.. Schu-
kin. and the Balalaika quartet. made
decided hit. Especially commend
able numbers on the program were
the "Loubki." novelty comedy. and
the "Chastooshki." comedy panto-
mime. The rather weird native music
with the numbers by the Russian
artists improved the vocal numbers
and made them all the more enjoy
able.
The Empire Symphony Orchestra:
under the direction of Julien Paul
Blitz. was at its best. presenting the
William Tell overture. which is con-
ceded the greatest of all overtures.
The advertisements of the program
were equally as well liked.
