RETURN OF BIG FORTUNE BY GOVERNMENT SOUGHT Heirs of German Princess Sue Alien Property Custodian—Pitts- burgh Company Complains. . Lawrence R. Pugh, ancillary ad- ministrator of the estate of the Prin- cess Amelia zu. Lynar, who died at Lindeau, Germany, October 8, 1920, and representative of her heirs in this country, filed suit yesterday in the Su- preme Court of the District of Colum- bia against Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian, and_Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, for the return of rcal estate, cash and bonds valued at about $750,000. He claims the property was illegally seized. Through _ Attorneys & Compton, the petitioner states that the princess was the daughter of George M. Parsons of Ohio, a lawyer and former member of the state legis- lature, and that shé inherited her property from him and not from any German source. Some of the real es- tate in question is located near the state capito “olumbus, Ohio. Proceedings also have been filed in the District Supreme Court against the alien property custodian by the Westinghouse Lamp Company of Pittsburgh, Pa., to regain possession of letters patent pertaining to an im- provement in tungsten filaments.
