No confirmation of these reports from official or any other sources, however, is available. The Third Internatiohale began ses- sions in Moscow about a week ago and it was announced that more than | 2,000 dalegates from all parts of the| “world wore present. Early in the vession there were reports that Le-| nine and Trotzky had agreed to a/ compromise under which Trotzky! would have a free hand in conducting | the internationale's world movement. | Advices received from Moscow, however, have not indicated any ser fous break between the Bolshevik leaders which would explain the re-| ported arrest of Troteky. f SMYRNA, July 6.—(By The Asso-) ciated Press.}—Greece has no warlike! intentions -toward soviet Russia, de-) spile statements to the contrary which have appeared in Buropean press, This statement has been sent to} George Chitcherin, Bolshevik foreign | minister, who recently "sent a telegram to Premier Gounaris, asking him to define the attitude of his government.

Scrap of Paper Saved Years Is Warth Fortune NEW YORK July 6—« scrap of paper that for five generations has repased between the covers of a faded copy of Spencer's Faerie Queene may mean wealth and lux- ury to Alfred Watkins Seymour, keeper of a small restaurant in Seattle, Wash. The paper tsa certificate ot 67 shares of stock in the Mechanics bank, left by Thomas Williams, who died in New York in 1822. “Its ac- tual value, together with accrued interest, was declared to amount to $500,000. The certificate had dropped out of sight but was discovered by a gen- ealogist who was gdng through a library in the household of a fami- ly in Troy, N. J., where Seymour had hed a sister and en aunt. Sey mour has established, it was as- serted, that Williams was his great grandfather and that he is now the sole heir to his property. His claim has been substantiated in several courts, but a legal battie is still in progress. ‘The bank, now known by virtue of varigus mergers as the Mechanics and Metals Na- tional bank, maintains that it has no record of the issue of stock and pleaded the statute of limitations. Supreme Court Justice Wagner re- cently ruled’ against this plea but attorneys for the bank declared they would carry the case to higher courts. 15,000 GATHER FOR C. E.
