The owner of a lot, which was subject to
an unTecorded mortgage, contracted for the
construction of building upon the prem
Uses. After material had been furnished
for the construction, but before the claims
for liens therefor were fled the mortgage
was put on record. Held that for the re-

cord his mortgage as against mechanics
liens. But even if that statute could be held
TO apply to such cases, the lien elements in
this case would not come within the viola
ton Of its provisions. because, first their liens
were not filed until after the mortgage was
recorded. and second, there was no evidence
that they did not have actual notice of the

Held, also, that in the absence of any pro-

asserting the lien of his mortgage as
against the other lien claimants.

REFORMERS AT WORK.
Now Gates A. Johnson Is to
Be Reinstalled Building
Inspector.
The ReformerS Give Early In
dication Of Their Line
Of Work.
Mayor Wright Orders a Gen.
SuS Of Saloon Wine
Rooms.
Sunday Closing Likely to
Come Into Operation Next
Sunday.

Gates A. Johnson. ii. II. Fuller and
Gates a. johnson Jr. danced a three
handed reel yesterday. and the cause of
their glee was the ordinance passed by
the board of aldermen Tuesday night.
BY the terms Of the ordinance Gates A.
Johnson will be eligible to the Office
from which he was Ousted by the old
council. One of the provisions of the
ordinance is that any person who has
served for five years as building inspec-
tor in city of over 10000 inhabitants is
eligible to the Office without being a
practical architect or sanitary engineer.
The republican members OF the council
have had this scheme in view since
May 1, or as soon as it was known the
two bodies of the council would be
republican by a large majority. The
legal firm of Davis. Kellogg IL Severance
were consulted after the ordinance had
been agreed upon and pronounced it
good law and without any flaw. Some
question as to whether the council had
the right 10 terminate the office of the
present incumbent so suddenly as the
new ordinance provides was raised.
The refOrmers, however, point to
the decision of the supreme
court in the JohnsOn-Starkey case as
final argument to this point. The at
torney for Starkey, in the brief sub
mitted to the court in this case, claimed
that the common council, when not pro-
hibited by the city charter, could change
the time of election of any officer, re-
duce the term of Office, or abolish any
Office at their will. This ground was
taken to throw Johnson, who claimed
he was elected for four years. out of the
Office. The supreme court in its decls-
ion declared the point we'll taken, at
least the decision takes the same
view. With this decision at their
backs the new council feel as
sured their action cannot be
assailed in any legal way. The passage
OF the ordinance and the chances for
the election of johnson on July ~ was
fully canvassed before the ordinance
was introduced, and it is claimed the
assembly will at their next meeting
unanimously pass the measure.
Building Inspector Morris, when seen
Yesterday, said he accepted the Office
without regard to any political faction,
and had endeavOred to keep the Office
out of politics. He was of the opinion
that it was simply a plan to give the
Johnson family a tenure of the Office.

Reformers Intent to Force Mayor
Wright's Hand.
Chief Garvin says no violation Of the
midnight closing order has been report
ed to him. The mayor has been con-
graduated by the Republican organs
for "his prompt action in redeeming his
campaign pledges" The ''reformers,
however. say while he was about it he
should have ordered the entire law re-
lating to saloons enforced. The law,
they claim, in the same section with
the midnight closing provision, says no
liquor shall be sold or given away OF
the Sabbath, nor shall any saloon or
barroom be open on that day.
Not being particularly interested
in the defeat or success of. the county
ticket this fall, they fail to see the posi-
ton which the administration would be
placed should the enforcement of the
entire law be ordered. A rumOr was
current last night that the mayor had
already issued an order to the police to
close the saloons Sunday. This was de-
MED by mis- private secretary and the
police.

WAS KIDNAPED.

Detectives Continue to Search
for the Missing Child.
The detectives at work on the case
say there is no doubt the little daughter
of F. j. Schwartz was kidnapped. The
child, according to the story told the
officers by servant girl at the West
house, on Tenth street, was brought
there about 3 o'clock Saturday night.
\ woman, neatly dressed in black and
carrying satchel, called about 5 o'clock
in the afternoon and after short stay
went out. When she returned she was
accompanied by child, which the girl
claims answers the description of the
lost one. She cut the child's hair in
front. changed its clothes, which were
taken from the Satchel, and, after
ordering lunch, left the place.
She remarked when she came in the
second time: "Well, have found my
child" She appeared, the girl says, to
be in great hurry and did not even
stop to eat the lunch she had ordered.
The parents of the lost child. when ac-
quainted with the above circumstances,
could not imagine who the woman was.
Mrs. Schwartz still believes the man
she saw early Sunday morning. but
VIII Ose name she declines to give, had
hand in the abduction.
The parents prepared the following
minute description of the girl and re-
quest any information concerning her
be sent to them or the police: Mamie
Schwartz, four and one-half years old,
height and weight medium for child
of her years; hair dark brown, almost
black, reaching to her shoulders, cut
with fringe over her forehead; eyes
large and dark hazel; marked slightly
on face and more strongly OH head and
body with scars from chicken-poX; prob
ably has faint strawberry mark Oh neck;
dress OF green flannel frock, black
hat with yellow flowers; stockings,
black cotton; wore one shoe and one
rubber. The child talks plainly and is
very chatty and smiling. She can tell
her name and where she lives.

Robert Silcox Seeks Death
Through CarbOlic Acid.
At o'clock yesterday morning Robert
SilcoX was found by pedestrian under
a barn at the corner of Congress street
and Golf avenue. Silcox was in great
agony, and his means were the cause OF
attracting attention, By his side was
found an empty bottle labeled "Carbolic
Acid" and further investigation showed
he had swallowed the contents with
suicidal intent. He was removed
to the DucaS street station and
Drs. Darling and Beale summoned.
Everything in the way of medical at
tention was given him. but the doctors
have but little hopes of his recovery.
Silcox is forty-two years of age, an up
holsterer by trade, and resides with his
wife and family at GIG Jackson street.
He formerly worked for a furniture
company on South Robert street, but Ill
health compelled him to quit work in
January last. Dependency over his
ill health is supposed to have caused
the rash deed. He was removed to the
city hospital, and at midnight the ply
sicians reported his recovery as ex
tremely doubtful.

Maj. Espy is the proud possessor of a
new yacht. and on Tuesday made his
maiden appearance as a bold White
Bear mariner. The major and his son
started out from the dock in front of
their Mahtomedi home in great style,
and, after cruising about for a time,
they decided te return. The major had
neglected to inform himself as to the
maneuyers necessary to the aforesaid
operation, and did not know how to
come about. He wisely determined to
keep on until the boat struck the op-
posite shore, where he could find some
one to start him towards home. But
alas, there's many a slip, for when off
the point of the island a squat stronger
than usual struck the boat. and she
capsiZed. The major, being unable to
stand on a perpendicular plane, fell
into the drink but his son scram-
bled upon the upturned hull and rested
in safety, while his father struggled to
reach the boat. Boats we're hastily
sent out from all points near by, and
the two shipwrecked sailors were res
cued from their distressing situation
within few minutes. The affair might
have been very serious had not timely
aid arrived, as Maj. Espy is not a swim
