X DEMAND HELD UNUSUAL Attempt to Abrogate Order of For- mer President Declared First in History of Nation. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 17.—The Chem- fcal Foundation, Inc., has deelined to comply with the request of Alien Property Custodian Thomas W. Mil- ller that it return to the government patents, trade marks and copyrights {rights assigned to the company, & president of the foundation, made i | public yesterday, discloses. | Another letter from Mr. Garvan to | President Harding avers that the in- i formation given the President about | the case “has been furnished by Ger- an agents to an ex-German spy, and interpreted by lawyers. whose sole knowledge of the war and its lessons {1s derived from association with Ger- man clients.” The President is urged {by Mr. Garvan to seek “other coun- sel,” the letter declaring that he has |been “grossly misled by the Attorney General both as to the law and the | facts of the case.” Letter to Miller. | In his letter to Alien Property Cus- {todlan Miller Mr. Garvan states: { “This will acknowledge the receipt ‘ommunication dated the S$th , demanding that this company return and deliver to you all patents, trade marks and copyrights iheretofore assigned to this company [by the alien property, custodian, that the company account'to you for all income received by it from such pat- ents, trade marks and copyrights, and that the company forthwith cease to exercise any dominion ~over such trade marks, copyrights and patents. “In reply you are advised that this company is owner, in its own right, of all the aforesaid patents, trade marks and copyrights and of the income de- rived therefrom. The company denies that the United States government, or you, as alien property custodian, or any one other than this company, has any right, title or interest in said patents, trade marks and copyrights. The company, therefore, declfnes to comply with your demand in any par- ti¢ular whatsoever.” Claims Precedent Broken. After reciting in the letter to Presi- dent Harding what he states were the steps which-led to the sale of the pat- ents, trade marks and copyrights of the ' foundation, including numerous quotations from former Acting Secr tary of State Polk and one from former President Wilson, Mr. Garvan says: “It is_the first time in the history of the United States government that the chief executive has been advised by his Attorney General to attempt to abrogate the solemn executize order of his predecessor. It is the first time in the history of the United States that the chief executive has been a vised by his Attorney General to vi late a sacred contract entered into the government with its citizens.” Reiterating that the company has not realized any profit to date, Mr. Garvan urges President Harding “in American fairness” to direct the gov- ernment auditors now going over the foundation's books “to seek and seek and then to certify,to the American people whether I or ‘any one else con- nected with the sale have ever re- ceived anything but abu: Says President Mininformed. Mr. President,” the letter continues, you have had the temerity to impugn the honor of the gentlemen Who boast a part in the great work of building fup or preserving the possibility of progress in .organic chemistry for America. You have been misinformed as to the nature of the trust we bore. That trust was not the German Kartel, the owner of practically all the important atents. * ¢ That trust was for | Phe American people, their industrial independence and the safety and health of their children and their children’s children.” In conclusion, Mr. Garvan informs President Harding “thet I have not { gone on with my disclosures, se |for I felt that the great issué must not become clouded with personalities ibut I begof you to seek other cqun- sel.” U. S. TO PUSH SUITS. Department of Justice Prepares to Start Action. The government will proceed In its equity suits against the Chemical Foun- | Gation for the return of former Ger- man dye patents and other property, it_was learned today. . Following the refusal of Francls P. Garvan, president of the foundatiof, to return the property, according to letters addressed by Mr. Garvan to Uresident Harding and the Depart- ment of Justice, it was said today that the Department of Justice and the alien property custodian are ready to go ahead with legal proceedings for the irestitution of the property. Col. Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian, who is out of town, is not expected to return until Wednesday, when a statement of the government’s position might formally be expressed. - WOMAN DIES ON WAY TO SISTER’S FUNERAL S Miss Julia Sherbert, 8 ‘When She Leans on and Expires.

Wednesday night in the Adath Israel Synagogue, 6th and 1 streets northwest, the Jews of Wash- ington will pay tribute to the founder of the Zionist movement for the res- toration of Palestine as the Jewish homeland. Marks Two Anniversaries. Special arrangements for this com- memorative gathering are rapidly near- ing completion, as the anniversary of the death of Dr. Herzl also marks the establishment of the International Zionist Organization at the World Jewish Congress, Basle, Switzerland, in 1897) assembled at his call. A number of prominent speakers, in- cluding rabbis of the principal syna- gogues, will address the gathering Wednesday. Rev. Adler Shefferman of the Adath Israel will chant the prayers and children of the’ Hebrew schools are s=cheduled to participate in the program with appropriate Jewish songs. The meeting is open to the public. Last Speech Dramatie. Theodor Herzl died of heart failure, crushed physically by the tremendous work which he had undertaken of organizing and uniting the Jews of the world to redeem ancient Palestine as the home of the race. An illus- tration of the determination of the man for success is given when at the last Zionist congress before bis death, he spoke from the platform with ice packed on his chest beneath his shirt bosom to keep from fainting. Herzl's work was not in vain. He left as his gift to the Jewish people the World Zlonist Organization, which had during his brief period of seven years' leadership spread to the uttermost corners of the earth. He left behind the Jewi3h National Fund and Jewish Colonial Trust, for land- acquiring and banking purposes in Palestine, which have ratsed millions to finance the upbuilding of the Jew- ish homeland. Before Herzl fought s way to leadership, the hope for Zion was expressed by a wandering race merely in sad and lamenting prayer.
