PROPERTY URGED
Custodian Believes Congress
viii Soon Restore
Seizures.


Passage by the next Congress of an
alien property bill providing for the
return of approximately $265, 900
in stocks, patents, real estate and
other holdings seized from enemy aliens
when the United States entered the
World War is deemed likely by How
ward Sutherland. alien property Gus
todian.
The sale or return of most of the
property to it's owners would be COM
pleted within a year after the bill S
passage, he said. while the affairs of
his department could be wound up
within a few years. More than 30
per cent of the property was seized
from German citizens.
Acting Secretary Mills OF the Treas
ury expressed the view recently that
the bill should take precedence even
over tax legislation, and predicted its
early passage.

Plumbers Helpers
Submit AffidaVitS
TO Estimate Board

Four affidavits were submitted yes
terday by President C. E. Miller Of
the Plumbers Helpers Association to
the budget committee of the Board of
Estimate in support of the unions
demand for city recognition of the
union and the SO scale.
The first sworn statement declares
that the helpers, with a Membership
in excess of $500 are on strike for
the SO day. The second asserts that
two shops, A. Weiss Of 1896 Broadway,
Astoria, Queens and the Promo Plumb
ing and Heating Co. Of Brooklyn have
signed contracts with the SO scale for
the eight hour day and union recogni-
ton.
-Four firms are willing to sign up
with the union at the $3.50 scale while
two more are willing to pay So, de-
clares the third affidavit while the
fourth says that scales of So and $3.50
are too low to support an American
standard of living.
TIE Board of Estimate will consider
the statements, it is hoped, with a
view toward including plumers' help
ers in the recently announced increase
in unionized city employees wages.

BOTH TRACTION
FIRMS PURCHASE
OTHERS STOCK
BMT Invests" 100000
in l. r. T.

Samuel Untermyer failed yester-
day to force an admission that the
Chase National Bank, one Of the ma
TONS biggest, had loaned 100000 to
the Observation-Disclosures Transit Co.
to buy 1860 shares of Interborugh
Rapid Transit STICK.
Although. the |. X. T. shares were
put up as collateral for the BIN. r..
loan, efforts to force Alfred c. An
drews, vice president Of the Chase
National to admit his bank was inn
plicated in the purchase were I'M
availing. Andrews was permitted by
former Governor Miller, counsel for
the traction trust, to testify that the
Chase National loaned the BIN. T..
$2,000,000 without collateral this year.
On the day the transit commission
asked for a list Of BIN. T. stockhold-
ers, the I. r. T. collateral on the
100000 loan was replaced by Brook
lyn and Queens. county bonds.
Why the BIN. T. should buy yearly
q million dollars Of I. K. 7. stock
which is not paying dividends, is an
other of the deep financial mysteries
uncovered by the transit commission
hearings. While it was known that
the /. r. T. had been buying BIN. T.
stock, which is on a paying basis, it
had not been disclosed that the BIN.
T. was also in the market for stock
in the other big company.
The purchase was made by Gerhard
NJ. Dahl, chairman of the BIN. I.
board without the consent of the di-
rectors. After he had spent 100000
of the company's money, he put the
proposition before the board, which
obediently okehed the deal.
That traction stock has been used
for speculation by the big financiers
who control the traction trust, is one
Of the two big features of the hear
ings. The other is the renewed at
tack on the I. R. It's company union,
and its anti-labor policy.

British VIOLATE Chimes Girls.
(By Nationalist News Agency.

(By Nationalist News Agency
SHANGHAI, June 8.-Chinese in
dignation expressed in numerous pro
tests from Chinese organizations, in
Guiding women's clubs, has grown out
of last weeks acquittal by the jury
Of the British soldier who was charged
with criminally attacking a Chinese
woman. Feeling runs high because
the accused was set free in spite of
the conclusive evidence introduced
against him. A retrial has been de-
manded and a political incident is
threatened.
The Chinese Bar Association, COM
posed of Chinese lawyers educated
abroad, protested in a statement
which reads in part: "No doubt the
court freed the soldier because it is
not considered the duty of the court
to protect Chinese lives. To rape one
or two Chinese women is small mat
ter in English eyes. In order to pro-
tect our lives and our women we have
to demand the immediate withdrawal
of British troops and the abolition of
extra-territoriality. Then if such an
act occurs it will be tried by a Chinese
court"
British Fear Nationalist Success.
Numerous complaints have been
made against rowdyism by foreign
soldiers here.
The North China Daily News, off
cial British organ here, says in an
editorial today that the Hankow Gov
eminent, Notwithstanding its supposed
serious financial position, is showing
greater resourcefulness than it's inef-
fective foes and is likely to weather
the present crisis unless the opposi-
ton to it is made for more real and
efficient"

The Shansi Governor, it was learn
ed, who commands one of the best
drilled armies in China, has refused to
ally himself with Chang Kai-shek or
Chang Tso-lin, feeling certain that
the Hankow Nationalists will defeat
any combination of war lords. Yen,

wish to bet on a losing horse.
WI Ching Wei, chief foreign adj
wiser to Chang Tso-lin in explaining
the failure Of negotiations, is report
ed to have said: Negotiations have
broken down thru the demands made
by the military governor Of Shansi.
The unfaithful Yen, who became faith
full, has again turned unfaithful and
demands that Chang TsO-lin must go,
while Chang Kai-shek insists that
Chang Chung-chang resign as tupan
of Shantung which the northerner has
refused to do.

UPTON SINCLAIR
COURTS ARREST
ON new NOVEL
Promises to Read Parts
On Boston Common

Upton Sinclair will court arrest on
Boston Common by reading parts of
the Songs Of Solomon quoted in his
recently published novel, "Oil," which
the Boston police are attempting to
suppress.
Arriving here from his Pasadena,
Cal, home to challenge BostOn's sup
preston of his book, Sinclair in a
session with newspaper men declared
he regarded charges Of obscenity
raised in connection with Oil! as a
"ruse." The real reason for police
action against the novel is the open
portrayal of former President Hard
ing as the pawn of the oil interests in
the 1920 Chicago Republican conven-
ton.
Sinclair is accompanied by his son
David, %, who is willing to testify on
the stand in Boston that his father
has not Corrupted his mind or
morals"
The noted labor writer, whose novels
have been read by tens Of millions in
America and Europe, win have been
arrested four times, if the police pull
him down from the rostrum in Boston
Common. Once he was arrested for
reading the Constitution on private
property with permit from the own
er by San Pedro police during the
waterfront strike there several years
ago. Another time he played tennis
on Sunday in Arden, Del, and in 1914
he gained his first arrest by wearing
a black band Of mourning on his arm
in labor funeral parade.
