HiGH COURT ORDER Sequestrators Given Power ito Take Securities Held "London, (By Mail)--There were developments in the case of Mrs, Katherine Routledge, the 61-year- old writer, who since the beginning of June has been a voluntary pri- soner in her Hyde Park mansion. Mrs. Routledge, it will be re- called. locked herself in her home and dismissed her servants as a means of resisting a sequestration order. This had been made fol- lowing a dispute about some waie- housed goods which belong to her husband, Mr. Scoresby Routledge, the explorer. She no longer, however, lives in the bathroom, but in a room be- low, and still goes out shppins. Two new orders have now been made. One empowers the sequestrators to have paid into their account £554, representing Mrs. Rout ledge's petty cash at her bank, and it orders the bank to hold to the sequestrators all her securities and bonds (representing about £50.- 000), her keys, etc. The other empowers the seques- trators to seize her house by force if necessary. Mrs. Routledge was indignant when a Press represéntative called upon her. Bank Must Obey "I at once consulted my bank," she said, "but they took the view that they would have to obey the High Court order. "It is really rather amusing, be- cause the petty cash does not really belong to me, as I had al- ready paid it out in checks." Asked if she thought the se- questrators would seize her house by force, Mrs. Routledge shrugged her shoulders. "You know as much as I do as to what they will do," she replied. No Resistance "If an attempt is made to force an entrance into my home (Mrs. Routledge owns the house), 1 shall not, of course, resist them, though I shall not admit them voluntarily. That would be condoning and agreeing with the legality of the principle." ' Mrs. Routledge said she had re- ceived hundreds of letters of syw- pathy from all parts of the coun- try. "A working-woman in Notting- hamshire sent me a postal order for 2s. 6d. anonymously, and has promised to send more when she can. I am greatly touched. "Do you know what I am going to do with that half-crown? 1 um going to put it on one side as the first donation towards the Society for the Reform of the Administra. tion of the Law." "Whose society is that?" Routledge was asked. "Mine," she replied, "I am going to form it." Mrs. A ---------------------------------- ---- less.

INTITANICBATTLE Col. Robert W. Stewart Said to Control Stand- ard Oil Company New York, July 27.--The New York World says that Col. Robert W. Stewdrt had checkmated John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s efforts to force him out of the chairmanship of the $500,000,000 Standard Oil Company of Indiana. The World says in its authority for that statement is an "'unim- peachable source," and that Stew- art had gained control of 51 per cent of the stock of the company, which he now controls by direct ownership or proxy. ; Demanded Resignation John D. Rockefeller, Jr., recent- ly demanded Stewart's resignation after the Colonel had defied the Senate investigating - committee which sought to examine him in connection with the deals of the Continental Trading Company. The fight settled down to a ti- tantic financial battle between Rockefeller family and Stewart, former South Dakota attorney and Roosevelt Rough Rider, for con- trol of the Indiana Corporation, the World's largest gasoline re- finer, Rockefeller said Stewart had promised him he would resgn if called upon to do so by Rockefell- er. Refused to Leave When Rockefeller lost confi- dence in the chairman, however, and demanded that he give up lead- ership of the corporation, Stew- art refused, He was re-elected: to the chairmanship with Rockefeller withholding his votes, Rockefeller owns only 14.9 per cent of the-cor- poration's stock. If Col. Stewart has won his fight, the defeat is the most crushing Rockefeller has ever suffered in his long and brilliant business ca- reer, It leaves Stewart in control to complete, if he desires, a posii- ble tightening of the alliance be- tween his corporation and the com- panies of Harry F. Sinclair, with whom he was associated in the mysterious deals of the Continental Trading Co., whose profits found their way into the coffers of the Republican Party in 1021.

The two wirgs of the Obrégonista faction issued con- flicting declarations. The day brought news that Luis N. 'Morones, resigned Minister of Industry, Commerce and Labor, who is widely accused of instigating the assassination of General Obregon, is on the Gulf of Mexico on his way to Cuba. He leit here Manday night in an automobile, catching a train later to Vera Cruz, whence he steamed yes- terday.

Little effort was made to hide ap- prehensions that out of the heated differences of opinion among Ohre- gonistas and Callistas, as President Calles' followers are called, might develop another period of disorder in Mexico, Situation is Grave | Soto y Gama said the situation was yey grave. The right wing of the oregon party pussylooted, the leaders sayig one thing for publi- cation and quite a different thing confidentally. This element despite all the transparent talking done to make the situation seem bright froth- ed among themselve icti 1 s s with predictions of trouble. 2 os Friends of ( seneral Obregon s Savauely gon spoke 53 agamst any plan to make Tejeda provisional president. They denounced him as an anti-Obregon- Ista and an irresponsible radical Leaders of the Agrarian wing laugh- ed scornfully at mention of his name and said he was an impossibility. The right wing of the Obregonista party continued to support the can- didacy of Governor ~ Aaron Saenz. They sajd his 'candidacy was con- ciliatory in character and that he was the oUistanding leader of their cause, now that General ] i di Obregon is in his The left wing of the Agrarians characterized Valenzuela as a loyal follower of the assassinated leader an administrator of experience, and a statesman in his. outlook on the furfdamental problems of Mexico. He was Minister of the Interior under President Obregon. to y Gama said there would not he peace in Mexico unless President Calles came to terms with the Ob- regonista party, He spoke surround- ed by humble followers in the Ag- rarian: headquarters, These followers murmured appro- 'val when Soto y Gama charged that President Calles' religious policy was inspired by "rabid antipathy for clericals" and was persisted in be- cause of the president's "self love," and desire to gratify his egotism. Governor Saenz has been re- named director of the Obregonista party. [The decision 'was reached according -to-Sotoy Gama, with con- sultation with leaders of the Ag- rarian wing of the party, YACHT MOHAWK REACHES SPAIN Second in Class to Complete Race from New York Santander, Spain, July 27.--The vacht Mohawk crossed the finishing line at Cape Mayor at 11:55:50 a. m.

Some authorities insist that the electoral college has finished its mission with the naming of presi- dent and vice president elect and is without authority to go further. 1t is suggested that Congress, now in session, might reform the elect: oral law, which does not specify the duration of the life of the electoral college. Another suggestion is that the Senate and Chamber call a new election. It is recalled that when Presi- dent Elect Irigoyen was in office before his vice president died, the president of the Senate succeeded him. EXPEDITION INTO TIBET PLANNED Albert E. Andre Will Head Party Into Unknown Country Newark, N.J.,, July 26.--Alhert E. Andre, Martinsville, orientalist, announced Tuesday .he would lead an expedition into unkown Tibet next spring. Strangers have long been excluded from. this country, and Mr. Andre proposes to make his trip one of international amity. After. a week's visit with the Dalai Lama, universal head of the OO Yor 333 ------ ELLE 3, a3 Buddhist Church, the Andre party will go through mountain caves to the Tsangpo river, where the earl iest inhabitants may have made their homes. The explorers will pierce country which has never been visited, and expect rich vege- tation and fauna. If possible, the expedition will explore the Tsango gorges through the Himalayas, where the river turns into the mighty Indian stream Brahmaputr (Son of God). Here Mr. Andre thinks he may find waterfalls highegy than Nia- gara. Tibet declared its independence in 1912, and has paid no tribete to China. The Younghusband ex- pedition had broken down much of the anti-foreign feeling, and three years ago the Dalal Lama invited a British scientist to set himself up in Tibet. Mr. Andre expects to take along a photographer and at least five men versed in archaeology, geo- logy, paleontology, biology and bot- any. MOTOR HABIT HITS HOLIDAY RESORTS British Watering Places Complain Despite Bril. liant Summer Weather London, July 27.--Although Britain is enjoying the most bril- liant summer weather in many veéars, complaints arrive from sea- slde resorts of the lack of exten- sive patronage. Trade Hepression is considered an unconvincing rea- con, for past experience has shown that people somehow always find money for holiday-making. The growth of the motor habit among the middle classes is a more likely cause The old style "sit down by the seaside."' vacation appears to have heen replaced largely by short dally motorcar trip from home, which eliminates hotel and rooming ex- penses and leaves something over for the instalments on the car. The Ministry of Transport Tues- day incidentally, announced the regisiration of 107,000 new motor cars within the past three months. FREE!

Marie, Ont. July 27,-- A flivver of an ancient vintage Tuesday added to its laurels. It was the most rapid exhibition of milking ever presented in this district, but the milk war all wasted. The cow was one of a herd which persisted in staying in front of a car on a township road Tues- day morning. The driver tried to turn past. The cow moved right in front of the auto, was bumped and sat down on the running board to ruminate, The hind. legs squeezed against the udder and four distinct stream : of milk squirted out over the road way, leaving a milky trail as the car kept on. The driver stopped and looked for a receptable to catch the milk but the cow was tired of its post- ure, slipped from the running board, stood up and ambled off ta pasture on the side of the road.
