Injunction Restraints Cohn
From Occupying Storehouse
Court Order Forbids Him to
Enter Upon Premises on
Commercial Street Ex-
cept to Remove Structure.

Another chapter in the business af-
fairs of Herman Belkin was written
today when temporary injunction
was served on Morris Cohn restraining
him from occupying building on
Commercial street formerly used by
Belkin as wholesale grocery house.
The injunction was issued yesterday
by Associate Justice Molloy in the
court of common pleas, Hartford, on
petition of Ida Goldsmith, who was
represented by Judge F. B. Hunger
ford.
AS trustee of the bankrupt Belkin
estate, Attorney David L. Nair dis
posed of the leasehold on Commercial
street to Ida Goldsmith. Although the
buildings belonged to Cohn. before he
disposed of his business to Belkin, the
land is owned by the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad. When
Cohn sold the business, the railroad
insisted that the lease be in the name
of Belkin. 1t is because of this situa-
ton that the injunction was issued.
1t forbids Cohn from having any con-
rection with the property other than
removing the building from the site.
1t is said that Cohn bought the build
ing for $4,000 and sold it to Belkin
for between $4,000 and $4,000.

Paris, July 2S.-The chances ct ,re-

reparations by Germany. is thought byi
those closely In touch with reparetions
questions to be better than at any
time since the split of last January.
1t is pointed out that Premier
Poincare took only five days to con-
suit with the Belgian premier and get
the French reply in readiness. More
prompt diplomatic action. the official
added, could hardly be expected and
the anxiety of the French premier TO
meet Lord Curzons wishes fo.-
prompt response might be taken as
one of the indications OF the eager
ness of the French government to
seize every chance for restoring the
old hearty cooperation of the onteute.
TIL rebirth of the allied supreme
council is prdicted now as a likely con
sequence of the exchange of notes.
Lord Curzon according to word from
England will visit France shortly to
take treatment at a health resort and
this with the prospective trip of
Premier Theunis to Paris will furnish
an excellent occasion 1t is thought for
meeting of the council.
