43 MILLION YET 0 BE GIVEN GERMANY Rlien Property Custodian Holds Many Rich Trusts BY GEONGE W, MANNING (Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald), ashington, D. C., April 12,—The economic situation in Germany will be improved by the return by the U, 8, Allen Property Custodian to alien owners of abhout 93 per cent of the trusts held during the war, valued at about $45,000,000, it was asserted to- day by Thomas W. Miller, the alien yroperty custodian, The return of that property is ex- pected to be begun. very soon under rules and regulations that have been designed to expedite the transfer and make the procédure very simple and inexpensive to those entitled to receive it, Mr. Miller said. “Under the legislation pushed by ‘congress, just before it adjourned, all alien owned property in all trusts held by the government of $10,000 and un- der and ameunts not exceeding $10,- 000 of the larger trusts will he return- ed to the owners as quickly as possi- ble,” said Custodian Miller,. “These returns will amount to about $45,- 000,000 out of the total of $347,000,- 000 now held by our government.” “It is belleved that the balance re- maining will be sufficient to hold as a guarantee for the payment of Am- erican claims against Germany. When | this subject was before the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee of the House, aid also when the bill em- hodying the amendments to the Trad- ing with the Enemy act was bhefore congress, at the close of the last ses- sion, the discussion disclosed that there were two radically different schopls of thought on the subject of the return of allen property. One school advocated the immediate and non-conditional return of all the prop- erty; the other believed that the property should not be relinquished, but held and utilized for the payment of American claims as rapidly as the awards are made by the mixed claims commission. “The last legislative instructions on | the subject are contained in the Knox-Porter peace resolution, adopted July 2, 1021, which specifically di- rects that the alien property shall be retained by the government until such time as the former enemy govern- ments make suitable. provision for the satisfaction of claima of Americans ugainst those governments. This does not necessarily mean that the prop- erty of private individuals shall be| confiscated and used for the payment of the claims of American citizens,| tut it does séem clear that the Knox- Porter resolution directed the reten- tion by this government of a sufficient | amount af encmy owned property to| guarantee the final settlement of American claims. | “While adhering to this poliey the| last congress was very emphatically | of the opinion that the continued re-| tention and administration by the | allen property custodian of the small tiists represenfed by the.93 per cent viider $10,000"1§ unnecessary and' un- wise. “The,amendments to the law per- mit the return to certain classes of | women whose rights or whose prop-| erty were substantially American, but who were barred heretofore by fact of citizenship; the prohibition of any property to insurance companies un- Jess they have satisfied claims which may be filed against them; notwith- | standing those clalms may have been Larred by a statute of limitations; payment: to the former owners of an amount not exceeding $10,000 in any cne year of future income on trusts administered by the custodian; limit-| ing attorney fees to three per cent; re- stricting the right of recovery, in so far as it concerns patents, trade marks, copyrights, etc., if they have| peen sold or licensed by the allen operty custodian or are now in litigation.” UL S WOMAN OBJECTS TO TAXES. i Chicago TLodging House Keeper Gives Some Novel Reasons. Chicago, April 12.—Mrs. Ida Camp-| bell offered some novel reasons in| aéking the board of assessors to re-| duce the $380 tax bill on her prop- erty, which she referred to as a “pne-horse rooming houu-—{our{ rooms in all.” | _8he declared the tax laws were swritten in Noah's Ark,” that she had worked gide by side with street| cleaners, although the city had es- ‘tablished a dump on her lot; that she never has “kept a dog, turned in a, fire alarm, cluttered up the street by | riding in any limousine, other than | the ohne nature provided,” and fin-| ally that she was in no way reapvm-lI sible for lowering the level of Lake| Michigan, because she had “even dis-| pensed with bathtubs.” The assessors took her plea advisement. e under | FOX'S STARTING SUNDAY —_—— JACKIE COOGAN More Adorable Than Ever IN “DADDY"” WTATRIFLE MORE THAN WOODEN BOXES: oivored anawiere al shord walite EE—e———————rT—— Visit Our Store Before Buying| Your Furs HUDSON FUR SHOP 13 Franklin Square | Te NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1923, Warned Soviets Premier Sikorski of Poland was one of the first to protest against the death sentence of Archbishop Zeplink head of the Roman Catholic church in Russia.

MANNING (Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald), Washington, D, C, April 12.—The hardwure industry has increased its activity about sixty per cent over the last seven years, while at the same time the number of establishments has shown a light but steady decrease. The average number of wage earners has decreased, while the total amount of wages pald has risen about fifty per cent. Statistics complled by the Depart- ment of Commerce on this industry include reports from establishments engaged in manufacturing locks and hardwars for bullders, pianos and or- gans, vehlicles, trunks, sultcases, cas- kets, furniture, ete. The -industry clasification cannot be considered as covering all’ hardware manufactured, as there is considerable overlapping with industries such as “brass, bronze, and copper products,” “cutlery and edge tools,” “foundry and machine shop products,” !'stamped and enam- eled ware,” etc. The data as reported by these industries are not in suf- ficient detail to permit an estimate of the amount of such overlapping. The value of products reported by this industry was in 1914 $73,320,000; in 1921, the value was $116,689,000, In 1919, the big year for husiness, the products were valued at $154,525,000. The number of establishments en- gaged in the industry was in 1914, 442; In 1919, 474; and in 1921, 430, The number of wage earners in each of the three years was 41,213; 42,- 506; and 33,802, respectively. Wages pald totalled $22,583,000; $45,230,000, and $34,849,000. Of the 430 establishments reporting products valued at more than $5,000 in 1921, 55 were in Connecticut, 85 in Tilinols, 75 in New York and 40 in D'ennsylvania, IImployment during the year was fairly stable, the smallest number en- gaged during any one month having been 80,719, in July. This number was 84 per cent of the greatest num- ber, which was 36,624, in January. PLANE BOMBS WRECK STORE. Jarred Loose in Flight, They Endan- gZer Spectators in San Antonio. San Antonig, Tex.. April 12.—A drug store and bakery shop in South Antenio were wrecked when seven 12-inch clay bombs were jarred loose from an airplane. The bombs were “duds” and #id not explode. Several persons were standing near the fall- ing missiles, but no one was injured. One fell in the street near a group of spectators, who were watching the formation of planes overhead. Three bombs fell through the roof of Dickey's ,druz store, | MUSKRAT PELTS SCARCE. Latc Winter Cuts Vermont Spring Industry to Low Point. Rutland Vt., April 12—Continuance of winter weather into April has al- most entirely prevented the harvest of muskrat pelts in Vermont. The industry usually nets trappers, ranging from the professional to the farmer's hoy, about $50,000 a year. This season the number of animals taken will be not more than 35 per cent of the average, it is estimated. The trapping commences as soon as the ice has left the streams and the water has hegun to drop after the freshets. This year ‘the banks of rivers and brooks have been ice-lined until well into the month, and the { water has not yet reached, its maxi- mum height. The laws provide that trapping must stop April 15, ADVICE FOR GERMANY.
