High Court Hits Millions Held In Land Titles Holds Foreclosures Bankruptcy Must Be Made in U. S. Tribunal The validity of mortgages and titles on real estate "to the value of millions of dollars throughout the United States, is impaired by a recent United States Supreme Court decision, hitherto unpublished, copies of which were received in Brook lyn today. The essence of the decision Is that realty mortgage foreclosures in connection with the bankruptcy of a real estate owner mu.

be made in the Federal Bankruptcy Court exclusively. The decision Is retroactive1 within the statute of which is at least a decade," according to Samuel C. Dubcrstein, professor of bankruptcy law in St. John's College. He says that to date all such foreclosures have been made in the State courts.

Court Unanimous Written by Justice Robert and concurred in unanimously by the other members of the nation's highest court, the decision was returned Feb. 24. The opinion tates in part: "The title and fight to possession of all property owned and possessed by a bankrupt vests in the irurtee as of the date of the filing of the petition in bankruptcy, whether situated within or. without the district in which the court sits, 1 follows that the Bankruptcy Court has exclusive jurisdiction to order a sale of real estate. When the jurisdiction has attached, the court's possession cannot be affected by actions brought in other courts." "I consider it," said Professor Duberstein, "probably the most important decision ever handed down in connection with real property.

It, directly or indirectly, affects every title, mortgage and loan company, every trader in mortgages and every holder of property who took title to property which at fome previous time changed hands as a result of one of its fomer owners going bankrupt." Irish Poetess Held Up At Canadian Border Victoria, B. March 19 G. E.

MaJ. Umberto Maddalena Says Wife Had Sleuths Trail Slain Druggist Sweeney Holds Mrs. l)il-Jer Jealous Milkman Fixes Time She Left Two developments in the Herman Diller hammer murder came to light today, both of which tend to shatter the story of Mrs. Marian Diller, now held in Raymond Street Jail without bail on a charge of having beaten him to death in their apartment at 580 Empire Boulevard last Monday. Deputy Inspector Vincent Sweeney announced he hud discovered that Mrs.

Diller had engaged a private detective agency to shadow her husband for several weeks previous to the time of his death and that the detectives had reported his visits to Miss Hannah Bershon of 209 Hawthorne St. According to Inspector Sweeney this was revealed by Mrs. Diller' brother-in-law, Joseph Thernosky of 1419 Carroll St. Backs Elevator Man The other witness Inspector Sweeney has unearthed is a milkman who delivers to the Capitol Court, as the Empire Boulevard apartment house is called. The milkman claims to have seen Mrs.

Diller leaving the apartment housa between 9:10 and 9:15 on the morning of the murder. The widow claims she left not later than 8:35, while the elevator operator In the house sets the time at least a half hour later. In speaking of the case this morning Inspector Sweeney said: "It need not have taken more than ten minutes to have committed the crime and the story of the elevator operator, which sets Mrs. Diller's departure neaier 9 o'clock than 8:30, which we can corroborate by the milkman, make our case against the widow nearly perfect.

TAKEN Resellers Battle Wav Over Ice FieMs With Food and Medical Help as Ralchen Aides Rush Alterations on Plane St. John's, Newfoundland, March 19 (IP) The first party of Viking survivors to leave Horse Island 'were taken aboard the steamer Sagona, fitted out as a hospital ship, this morning. Rescuers on the sealer Imogene, which carried the survivors from the ice barrier to the Sagona fed them en route.

The rescuers landed through united efforts of the crews ot stven sealing ships, which for many hours had been pounding the ice in an el-fort to make way for the Sagona. Wireless Operator C.

Arizona, March 19 M) President Hoover sailed toward Porto Rico today under skies which were fair from the time Hampton Roads was passed. The Arizona was making a speed of 15 knots and expected to enter the Gulf Stream this afternoon.

As soon as the connection between the dead woman and McLaughlin, who was on a trip to Bermuda at the time of her death, was learned, why didn't the District Attorney obtain copies of all radio messages sent him?

Fausto Cecconi and Second Lieutenant Damonte were killed today when their seaplane fell into the sea. The plane was flying at a height of 1,500 feet and about 900 feet off shore today when observers saw it dive suddenly toward the water.

A score of boats rushed to the scene of the disaster. Colonel Maddalena and Lieutenants Cecconi and Damonte all flew in the same plane with General Balbo on the squadron flight to Brazil. Colonel Maddalena himself was piloting the seaplane when lt plunged into the sea. The three officers were among Italy's most famous fliers.

and loth Ave, Vltcrnativc of Citywidc Quiz IMioiirs Buzz to Coast but Mayor Deelines (Iross-Counlry Fight Suggestions from supporters of Governor Roosevelt that Tammany swing Into line for I a legislative city -wide ln-! qulry as an alternative to hav ing the Governor act on the formal removal charge against Mayor Walker a plan put forward to spate both th Governor and the Mayor embarrassment have, The Eagl learned today, received a cold shoulder from the wigwam. The Tammany attitude is that it is preferable for the Mayor to "faea the music" for his own administrative shortcomings than to surrender to a probe that would examine into the machinery of the Tiger and John H. McCooey organizations and probably start off with a general subpenalng of bank accounts. The Governor is believed In City Hall circles to prefer a legislative investigation to one aimed only at the Mayor, although the same end might eventually be reached by either manner of Inquiry. Meanwhile, telephones have been buzzing between the "Inner circles" In New York and Samuel Unter-myer's estate near Hollywood, where the Mayor Is resting from administrative fatigue, In which the Tammany powers have been admonishing the Mayor against a continuance of wise-cracking and allowing descriptions of his flowery pajamas to be publicized.

Old Stuff, Says Mayor The Mayor, as a result, has been reticent to discuss the charges ol the City Affairs Committee over th: telephone, although he suggested there was "nothing" in them that had not been aired In his last campaign for office. "I will not make any comment on New York affairs until I reach New York." the Mayor declared. "To attempt such a thing would cause only useless bickering back and forth across the country." Holmes and Wise Content Dr. John Havnes Holmes and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, who Hied the formal charges against Mayor Walker, today Issued a Joint statement in which they said: "When we submitted our rhargea against Mayor Walker to the Gov.

Now that the Governor is giving his enrnest consideration to th charges for Judicial determination we propose scrupulously to observe his injunction that there be no speculation or argument as to how he snould act In any case, we are content to let the charges speak for themselves."

Governor Mum OnWalkerCase; Is Studying It Shuns Adviee of Political Inliinales Warns Albany Reporters KtU Hurfmi, Cinttol Hullrilni.

By CLINTON L. MOS1IER Albany, March 19 Ignoring the leaders of his own party, Governor Roosevelt was considering privately today the ten charges of misfeasance on the part of Mayor Walker, filed with him by the City Affairs Committee. The threat of contempt of court the Governor mucle against newspapermen who would be inclined to discuss the political aspects of the case failed to still the tongues of the Democrats and Republicans in the Legislature. Roosevelt was again noncommittal when the subject of th? Walker charges was broached at the morning conference with newspapermen today. He has read the charges twice, but reached no -de- clsion.

It is unlikely that any will be forthcoming until next week The delay is" said to be occasioned by a desire on the part of the Governor to go over the chaiges with the proverbial flnetooth tomb. Whether or not he will appoint a commissioner to do this for nim is still problematical. No such time uus spent in going over the charges against District Attorney Crain. Without, delay the Governor summoned Grain to his town house in Munhattun, acquainted li I in with the charges, and was informed by Ciuin Unit lie de-slied to be heard on them. The next day he appointed Referee Samuel Seubury a special commissioner to investigate.

The minority members see the Governor in the most difficult position he has occupied since the beginning of his administration. They contend the seriousness of the situation cannot oe overestimated, and they predict the outcome will have a definite ctreet on Roosevelt's chance of becoming the Democratic candidate for President in 1932. No one, either Democratic or Republican, is attempting to say what is in Roosevelt 3 mind. It is Uterally true that he is not consulting his political associates on the diHIcult question. In this respect, he has, to use his own expression, become the presiding of the Court of Appeals, hearing the case of the City Affairs Committee against James J.

Walker. Roosevelt's unique movement In attempting to clamp the lid downl on any discussion of the case was accepted as proof positive that he realizes the ticklish nature of the situation that confronts him by reason of the charges submited by the City Affairs Ccmmittee. ence here is due to my physician I having ordered me to rest and take sun baths.
