DENIES ACTION TO SUE
EXECUTORS FOR GOULD
Accoun ting of Millions Asked in
Old Suit of Railway Com
psny Receivers.
Nv tn, Associated Press


NEW YORK. November 6.-Su
preme Court Justice Proskauer de-
MED yesterday an application to make
the executors under the will of George
j. Gould defendants in the suit
against Mr.. Gould and Myron T. Her
rick. Ambassador to France, for an
accounting of millions of dollars,
brought by Henry w McMaster and
Francis Fl. Skalding as receivers of
the Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal
Railway Co. The suit was filed in
1910 and had been on trial four years
At the time of Mr.. Gould's death
The suit was brought against the
defendants as managers of the Pitts
burgh and Toledo syndicate. organ
ized In 1901 to acquire railroads in
Pennsylvania West Virginia and
Ohio and to build a terminal in Pitts
burgh. The properties were con-
solidated in 1901 as the Wabash
Pittsburgh Terminal Railway Co, and
subsequently went into the hands Of
receivers. The accounting suit is
based on allegations that the syndi-
cate manager used funds for i'm
proper purposes.
After the death of Mr. Gould an ap.
plication was made to substitute his
estate a defendant and to continue
the suit. That was denied in all the
courts. At the last session of the
Legislature statute was passed pro-
viding that in a proceeding in New
York State in which jurisdiction had
been obtained against the resident of
a foreign state such action should
not abate by the death of such de-
fendant, but the executors under his
will should be substituted.
Then the question of making the
Gould executors defendant was again
taken before the Court of Appeals,
but the court held the law uncOnsti-
tutional. The application came be-
fore Justice Proskauer on the conten-
tion of attorneys for the receivers
that the question had not been pre-
sented squarely to the Court of Ap-
peals. Justice Proskauer' based his
decision on the ruling of that court.

STREET REPAIRING
Advisory Board Indorses
Move to Curb Glare in
Headlights.

Inc neen 1of improving lne run
down condition of many streets in
Washington, as shown by a recent
series of articles in The Star, will
be taken up with the Commissioners
in the near future by the advisory
board of the local division of the
American Automobile Association, it
was announced following a meeting
of the board yesterday.
The advisory board also voiced its
strong approval of the campaign now
being carried on to have every mo-
torist in Washington keep his head
lights properly adjusted to eliminate
the menace of the glare resulting
from improper adjustment. All facil-
tiles Of the association. including 26
A. A. A. service stations, were put at
the disposal of the traffic director and
the Police Department in the work
Of adjusting headlights.
Brakes Campaign.
A similar campaign at an early
date to see that the brakes OF all
machines are in good condition was
urged by the advisory board and the
same offer of co-operat ton in such
an undertaking was offered by the
A. A. A.
The advisory board adopted resolu-
tions calling for figures as TO the
amount of money spent on Washing
ton streets since the introduction of
the gasoline tax and what portion, II
not all, of the gas tax has been used
for street maintenance.
Oficials of the highway division OF
the District said today that last wear
Congress appropriated about $4,000
900 for all classes of paving and re
pair work and that appropriations for
the current fiscal year approximate
the same sum.
C. B. Hunt, engineer of highways,
said today that his department is re-
quired by law TO spend all Of the gas
tax money on street work and that
all but $4,000 of it is specified by
Congress to be used on certain
streets.
The $5o.000 referred to. Mr.. Hunt
said, is allotted to him by Congress
as a lump sum to be utilized in re-
adjusting the cutters and curb lines
of streets in various parts of the city
where the old "barrelshaped' gut
ters make Ii dificult to draw in and
park vehicles.
45 Streets Are Listed.
The current appropriation act, Mr.
Hunt said, listed IS separate streets
TO De paNSu OuI OIL sdsoiliic leA toI-
lections, of which number, he said,
40 have been done.
The advisory board of the A. A. A.
also expressed disapprovsl of delay
in the compilation of boulevard plans
and boulevard stops as provided for
in the traffic law.
Thus far the boulevards have been
marked only by painting the word
stop" on the pavement. Director
Edridge said today that he Is having
metal stop" signs made. to be erected
at the curb line of all boulevard
stops and that they should be put up
within two weeks.
The advisory board of the A. A. A.
also decided yesterday to ask the
Commissioners IL an adequate pro-
gram and ample facilities are avail
able to prevent trahic tie-ups during
snowstorms this Winter. The city
heads are taking steps to increase the
number of snow plows this year.

Counsel for Famous Players claim
the opinions OF Miss Pickford and
Fairbanks should be discounted, as on
ton they admitted all
of their pictures had been exhibited in

They point TO this as sure indica-

NEW YORK. June 13.-Switching
of market leadership from the oil to
the steel shares was the outstanding
development in today's brief but ac-
tive and strong stock market. Total
sales for the two-hour session exceed
100000 shares.
Steels had been dragging behind the
rest of the list because of the ad-
verse effect produced by the unex-
pectedly large decrease in the un-
filled orders of the United States Steel
Corporation last month and the
easing price tendency of number Of
ferrous products. Recent reports
from steel centers indicate, however,
that forward business is coming in at
good rate with additional confirma-
ton in the report that contracts for
new building construction in Sc States
last month established new high
record for that month.
Building Records Help Steel.
United States Steel common crossed
116 to a new high on the movement.
while net gains of l to nearly 312
points were recorded by Gulf States,
Crucible, Republic, Sloss Sheffield and
Ludlum.
Oils forged steadily ahead despite
a rather heavy volume of week end
profit-taking. The demand for these
issues has been stimulated by ex-
pectations of an early increase in
midcontinent crude prices as q re-
suit of the recent sharp decrease in
Smackover production and reports of
record breaking gasoline consumption.
Independent Oil and Gas touched
393s. the highest price since it was
listed over two years ago, and then
Sagged to 391s. Indian Refining
jumped points on a few sales and
Houston moved up Az.
Railroad Shares Improve.
Rail stocks made further progress
on the upside, with special buying in
the Northwestern carries as a result
of the recent adjustment of freight
rates ordered in that territory by
the Interstate Commerce Commission

Coppers continued to reflect the i'm

of group strength with United States

Sharp gains also took place in a
