The suit charges that the Central Trust Company of Illinois fraudulently obtained control of the paintings to secure a preference over other creditors. The paintings are valued at $200,000 and form a considerable part of Mr. Jackson's assets and are being held by the Central Trust Company of Illinois as collateral for an indebtedness of $142,707.47 owed by Mr. Jackson. Mr.

Morton said that the trust company knew as far back as Sept. 1, 1929, that Mr. Jackson was insolvent and on Oct. 14, 1929, they secured control over the paintings. A petition in involuntary bankruptcy was filed against him in Massa chusetts on Feb.

14, 1930, and he was declared a bankrupt on that date. Mr. Morton charged that the Cen tral Trust Company had the Mer- rimac-Concord Picture Company organized in this State on Oct. 14, 1929. Mr.

Jackson turned his paintings over to the company, received 500 Shares of its capital stock and a note for $150,000, payable on de mand, which he indorsed and turned over to the Central Trust Company as collateral for his indebtedness, Mr. Morton declared. The paintings are now In the physical possession of the Johan De Witt Galleries in this city. The galleries and its president. Thomas Weitemyer, and the Merrlmac-Conord Company are named defendants also.

City's 'Waste' On Tubes Hit Continued From Page 1 the small part of the 55 road miles now completed with the five years within which 90-odd miles of the dual subway system were completed and the less than four years It took to build the old subways In 1000-1904. They cost less than $2,500,000 a mile. Compares Costs 'Compare also the estimated cost of over $14,000,000 per road mile of the present subway with the $5,600,000 per road mile of the dual subways built between 1814 and 1916 during the high wartime prices. With these facts in mind you will get some faint conception of what is happening to you while you sit meekly by twirling your thumbs." Then he ridiculed the Board ol Transportation's announcement of a cut from $7,346,520 to $6,293,022 in requested appropriation for its engineering forces. He said that since the engineering work was about finished, this was "bun combe." Cites 'Watted Interest' He declared that the system as a whole was only half finished and would cost $800,000,000, "which in cludes $60,000,000 of wasted interest due to the delays that I believe efficient management would have avoided." Meanwhile, he said, the public had been led to believe the system was nearly finished.

After referring to his charge that "fear of exposure" had caused delay in delay and operation, he said, a second reason for delay was an apparent determination to ignore persistent demands that the award of the operating contract be opened to competition and thus turn over operation to the B. M. without ample public notice." 'To that end," he said, "the longer the announcement of tile purpose is delayed and tha snorter CENTRAL LODGE, NO. 361, F. A.

Tt: rn An autopsy yesterday at the Morgue upon the body of Mrs. Margaret Likay did not establish that negligence figured In the operation that preceded her death on Sept.

19, 1929, In the Hillside Sanitarium in Jamaica. However, Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Thomas A. Gonzales, who made the autopsy, found evidence that led him to a decision to make a microscopic examination of certain parts of the body. Dr. Otto H.

Gitlin, who was said to have had a part in Mrs. Likay's treatment at the sanitarium, recently was denied incorporation papers for his hospital. The license of the sanitarium had been revoked and the place had been closed a short time before that on orders of Dr. J. G.

William Greeff, Commis sioner of Hospitals. Mrs. Likay's husband, Ernest, has declared the circumstances surrounding his wife's death were "suspicious" and has brought suit for $250,000 damages, in which he charged his wife's death to "gross neglect." The body was exhumed yesterday, and after the autopsy this morning Dr. Gonzales said his work so far has established blood poisoning as the cause of death. A closer exami nation of the body, he said, will be made before he can determine whether neglect figured in the woman's treatment.

In case the Literary World Mourns Harris Continued From Page 9 all immensely valuable to collectors. That he had practically written himself into oblivion was conceded by Harris when he once told a friend he had been financially ruined by the publication of "My Life and Loves," but he blnmed "the dumbness of humanity" rather than himself for his poverty. Harris ever was alert to discover talent In writing and painting. Thus he was one of the first to acclaim Shaw and he helped to develop many writers in the half-century of his activity.

In his late years he often pointed to a bookcase near his bed. It contained editions signed by leading writers of his lifetime, sheet after sheet from the pen of Oscar Wilde, cases of letters from other contemporaries, sketches and pictures by artists he had known. Wouldn't Sell Secrets "I could live much better if I sold them," he said. "But though I'm hard-boiled I'd die without them." Then, pointing to a little blue letter case, he added: "ThaUs my private dossier on Wilde Hjid Lord Alfred Douglas. It is better to have It destroyed than to publish it at this late date." Other noted works by Harris were: "The Man From Shakespeare," which many believe to be the best from a literary standpoint; "The Life of Oscar Wilde," and a play; "Joan la Romme," based on the life of Jean d'Arc, written simply, he said, "because I did not like the one written by Shaw." Harris died Just after finishing his latest, work, "The Life of George Bernard Shaw." Even as he was breathing his last the proofs of this work were in possession of the noted British cynic and author for revising and additional comment.
