GEORGE GOULD ESTATE
WINS $500, 100000 SUIT
Minority Stockholders of D. & R. G.
Sued Directors in Sale
of Railroad.
By the Associated Press.


ALBANY, n. Y, February 26.-The
Court of Appeals, in a decision hand
ed down yesterday. ruled that the
estate of George J. Gould is not liable
for damages in the action instituted
against Gould and other directors of
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
to recover $200,000,000 by minority
stockholders of the corporation. The
court upheld the ruling of the ap-
pellate division that the cause of
action did not survive Gould's death
and may not be continued against
his estate.
1t was alleged that Gould and the
other directors controlled other cor
porations whose interests were op-
posed to those of the Denver and Rio
Grande and that they advanced loans
to a holding company and permitted
payment to default, so that the assets
of the corporation were sold by
mortgage foreclosure at a loss.
The plaintiffs held that the assets
brought a grossly inadequate sum
and that the defendants afterward
organized the Western Pacific Rail-
road Corporation.

money invplved was paid by the
German debtor directly to the Ger
man alien property custodian, the
commission said, the awards will be
on basis of 17.4-cent mark value
with interest at 5 per cent from date
of payment to the German official to
the date of settlement of the award.
The commission said the agreement
which is the result of negotiations In
Berlin last Summer between Robert
w. Boynge, American agent, and DR.
Karl Won Lewinski, the German agent
will greatly expedite its work.

tresses Follow Meals, Be Sure
to Use Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets

| A good appetite for the savory dishes,
| come what may, or as they say from
| soup to nuts is one of lffe's chief en-

| stomach distress afterward is one of life's
chief disappointments. To enjoy eating
and feel perfectly safe one should follow
meals with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They aid digestion, they stop sour fer
mentation. they take up the sour risings
and gassiness, they sweeten the stomach
by giving it the alkaline effect and they
also stimulate secretions in the stomach
and intestines.
Thus, whether you eat pork and beans,
sausage and buekwheat cakes mince pie
and cheese. or the foods that most people
complain OF making the stomach uneasy and
sour, you experience that happy state of
enjoyable, solid comfort.
Get 60-cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at the drug store. Then eat
heartily Of all the good things on the table.

Mars Has the Laugh

TINE world swar was n total failure. 1t
i was "a war TO end war;" and wars
have been happening with due regularity
ever since. II was to make the world
safe for democracy" And reaction was
never more rampant than il is today.
This is particularly true in Europe
Military cliques or relationships rule in
Spain, Italy, Turkey. Hungary, Bulgaria
Jugosavia, Greece. Rumania and Russia.
Great Britain has the most conservative
government that she has had for n long
time, and France having swung from reac-
tionary Poincare to liberal Herr-ot, is
again bound back towards conservatism.
The chief trouble with the world war
as war to end war was that IL Balkanized
jail Europe. 1t definitely settled virtually
no problems at all, but created new ones
which today cry to high heaven for
answer
Count Karolyi-the Hungarian ex-presi-
dent whom our state department muzzed
while in this country-warned his hearers
in Canada, where free speech was restored
to him, that the menace of another great
bonfire hangs over Europe. The Haps-
burgs and the Hohenzollerns, he says, still
plot for power, and reactonaries thruout
the Old World are scheming for a return
of the ancient order.
Hardly had he uttered the words than
cables from Berlin announced the candi-
dacy of Field Marshal Won Hindenhurg,
monarchist, for the presidency of Ger
many.
If elected he will turn the republic into
camouflaged regency and hold il in trust
for his master at Doom.
No, the world war settled nothing. And
thus far all efforts by liberal governments
to do something concrete to prevent an
other have come TO naught
War parties are still pulling the wires
behind the scenes when not actually in
the open and half the nations of the Con-
tinent are busy laying plans for remaking
the map of Europe.

Localixing the Weather Germ

a MONG other things which Donald
n Macmillan hopes to discover in the
northern territory he will explore this sum-
mer is the source of United States weather.
In attempting to track our weather TO
its lair, scientists have probed farther
and farther into the North. II has now
been fairly well established that our storms
and fair weather have their beginnings in
the UNEMPLOYED district north of Alaska.
Forecasting consists largely of detecting
new disturbances in the atmosphere as
they appear on the northern and western
borders of the United States, learning
their characteristics, and figuring out the
paths they probably will follow by means
of barometric conditions ahead of them.
The United States weather bureau has
found that the great majority of flows"
areas of subnormal barometric pressure
originate over the sea south of the Aleu-
tian islands in the winter, and over the
interior of Alaska during the summer.
But conditions which cause these flows"
to be built up there and to create thighs"
farther east are unknown and the answer
to the problem lies hidden in the unknown
territory between Alaska and the North
Pole.
The Macmillan party will make prelimi-
nary reports on temperatures, pressures,
and wind conditions over this region. AS
soon as exploration has sufficiently adj
vanced, detailed observations viii be made
and when these are completed there Is
every possibility that accurate and early
forecasts of storms, of inestimable value to
farmers and navigators, may be made
If land is discovered in the unexplored
area, establishment of permanent weather
observation stations, further facilitating
predictions, will be possible
