known as Miss Winnie Porter. who
will ride along the parade route to
her throne just beyond Fifteenth

Seats for $4,000 people will be
provided in stands beside the throne,
at a cost of Is cents each.
The Queen was crowned last night
by Engineer Commissioner David
McCoach at ball in the Raleigh
Hotel. She wore white gown, car
rled pink roses and smiled very
sWeetly. Presenting the crown, Com
missioner McCoach forgot his speech
right in the middle.

he explained to the audience.

of the Board of Trade, presented
Miss Porter with golden cup.

promise:

good fellowship during my reign"
There the coronation ended, so every

Yet Edgar Kloten, who fills the

While eyes are directed at the

New York Concern
Asks Court 10 Bar
Black Tom Payment
Claims Commission Was
Without Power to
Hold Reich Responsible

District Court was asked TODAY to
enjoin the Secretaries of State and
Treasury from carrying out the $50
100000 award announced yesterday
by the Gerran-Americar Mixed
Claims Commission in settlement of
the Black Tom and Kingsland World
War sabotage cases.
The request was made by lawyers
representing the z. and F.. Assets
Realization Corp. of New York City
which has a $599,373 claim. The
plaintiff contended the commission
was without power to hold Germany
responsible for the sabotage.
Hold Earlier Decision Stands,
z. and F. Corp. argued that an
earlier decision, on October 16, 1880
dismissed charges of German guilt
and that this decision still was
binding.
The corporation said it had taken
over claims and rights formerly held
under the name of Zimmerman e.
Forshay.
Among other arguments of the
plaintiff was one that direction for
the entry of an award was without
notice to the German government.
Treasury officials, just before the
action was filed, said they would
take over, within a few days. be-
tween s20,000,000 and $25 100000 of
German money to help settle the
Black Tom -Kingsland awards.
First, they said, certified copies of
the awards would have to reach the
Treasury from the arbiters. headed
by Supreme Court Justice Owen J.
Roberts. The Germans. who with
drew from the proceedings several
months ago, have protested the
award and accused Umpire Roberts
of bias" Secretary of State Hull,
in turn, upheld Mr.. Roberts in
tegrity and questioned the Germans
good faith.
Funds Are Available.
At the Treasury it was said that
collection can be made Immediately
from German special deposit &C
count containing about SO 300 900,
representing payments made by
Germany, and from the alien prop
erty custodian fund, for which the
Attorney General holds about SIS
600 900, representing a share of the
German property seized in this
country during the World War. The
money in both these funds is to be
used to pay the awards, on a pro
rata basis.
In addition, between $4,000 900
and s6,O00,00O may be realized from
various uncertain sources such as
interest on the other funds.
The unpaid balance of the award
nomlnally will be secured by 2,04O.-
100000 reichmarks worth of Ger
man bonds held by the Treasury.
However, Germany defaulted on
these bonds several years ago.
