The alien property custodian and the Treasurer of the United States may not be held responsible in damages to a Ger- man subject for injury to the property of that person after it had been seized under the trading-with-the-enemy act | and was used by the custodian as his office and for the accommodation of his office force. The District Court of Appeals so held today in an opinion by Chief Justice Martin dismissing a claim of Frau Mar- |ion Von Bruning, a German subject, who claimed she had received only $100 per month rent when the building was worth $500 per month and that the building was damaged to the extent of $6,000 and was not repaired. The property is located at 1758 N street and was re- turned to its owner after the act had been amended. Since the property has been returned, the court points out, the suit is practi- cally one against the United States, which has not consented to be sued. ‘The plaintiff was a natural born American citizen and prior to April 6, 1917, had married Adolph von Bruning, | a German subject, and became and has since remained a German citizen.

Two of the three women attacked on the street Saturday night were still in critical conditions today. The third, although painfully injured, is thought to be out of danger. Police are still without a clue as to the identity of their assailants. The most seriously injured are Miss Lillian Funkhouser, 48 years old, 211 C street, and Miss Rena Downing, 50 years old, 1155 Fourth street northeast. Miss Funkhouser was taken to Emer: gency Hospital after she was found un- conscious on Second street between In- diana avenue and D street. An exam- ination revealed that she is suffering from severe lacerations to the head. She was still in a dazed condition to. day, a condition that has prevented po: lice from learning any of the circum- stances of her injury. Miss Downing is in Providence Hos- pital, where she was taken after a col- ored man was seen to attack her and attempt to take her pocketbook. The police have been unable to interview her, physicians fearing that any excitement might prove fatal.

DECISION REVERSED Court of Appeals Upsets Rul- | ing Involving Financing of Realty Deal. ‘The District Court of Appeals today reversed the action of the District Su- | preme Court, which had dismissed a suit | brought by Mary V. Dettmers against | Elisha P. Taylor and others for alleged fraud. According to the opinion of the appeliate court, rendered by Justice Van | Orsdel, Mrs. Dettmers, November 9, 1926, | sold an apartment house to Taylor and |as part consideration agreed to take a | note of $5,000 secured as a second deed of trust on 401 East Capitol street “sub- ject to a first trust of $20,000 due in about two years.” Taylor owned premises 401 East Capi- tol street, it is stated, and it was not incumbered by a trust of $20,000. He transferred the title to Margaret C. Cox, described as without financial responsi- bility, and she executed a trust for $20,- 000 and another for $5,000 which were recorded. She then conveyed the prop- erty to the wife of Taylor, and Taylor gave the second trust note to the plamtiff. When the first installment of interest | became due on the note, the plaintiff | notified Taylor, who replied that he did not own the property and that the in- | terest on the first trust had not been | paid and if it were not paid he would request foreclosure. . Suit was then filed. ‘The court declares that while Taylor was not the maker of the note it still remains in his possession, and the fact remains that it was made by Cox for his accommodation and without con- | sideration, and becomes “merely a | worthless piece of paper” as against his | creditors. “We think,” concludes the | court, “there is no rule of justice or equity that will permit him to use this first trust as a fraudulent weapon with which to destroy the second trust.” PAPAL ENCYCLICAL IS DUE NEXT MONTH | | Prediction Made Document Will Deal With Nationalism, Aimed at French Party. By the Assoclated Press. ROME, November 5-—The Giornale | D'Italia asserts that the Pope will issue an important encyclical next month, setting forth the Holy See's: position regarding its relations with govern- ments, and “the Christian Constitution of the States.” Commenting on the encyclical, the paper says: “It will pobably not be a polemical 1 document, although of a doctrinal char- tacter, for which copious amounts of material have already been compiled. “In the choice of this material two eminent scholars, one a Jesuit and one a Dominican, have collaborated.” ‘The newspaper adds that the text of such documents is written personally by Pius XI, with the assistance of his secretary. In circles well informed as to what is going on in the Vatican, it is thought that this may be the long-predicted I encyclical of nationalism, aimed par- ticularly at the Monarchist L'Action Fi ise party in France.
