SAN FRANCISCO, March 22 -] Lincoln Steffens and his wife, Ella| Winter, both noted writers and cham- | pions of radical political beliefs, were dragged into a decidedly capitalistic limelight yesterday by a suit filed in Federal Court.

Young of New York” and secured by a mortgage on Connecticut property. 1t itemized figures indicating Stef- fens was the posscfsm‘ of a moderate fortune. The sult was brought by H. W. Douglas, receiver for the California National Bank of Sacramento. It alleged Steffens had transferred title to valuable property to his wife in at- | tempting to evade liability as a stockholder in the closed institution. | The list included the $35.000 Young note, three town lots in Carmel, Calif., | worth $15.000: $9,000 worth of bonds | and all Steffens’ book royalties and| stocks in varlous corporations.
