The KANSAS MORTGAGE Avn.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 30.-An importan
decision affecting mortgage foreclosures
under the new Kansas law was made by
Judge HAGEN yesterday. The Belknap
Savings bank foreclosed on piece of prop
erty owned by Wyatt r. Johnson, who
made no defense against the mortgage.
When the foreclosure sale was made, IN
stead of bidding in the premises at Il
nominal figure as was customary under
the old law, the property was bid in by
plaintiff at its fnll value. This made con-
siderable difference in the amount of the
sheriff's fees. and the plaintiffs attorneys
served notice on the sheriff that they
would move the court to retax his costs.
The sheriff conteDded that as the mort
gage was made before the new law went
into effect the taxing of the costs would
be the same as under the Old law. That
is, the sheriff would be entitled to his
commission On the sale. The plaintlH
contended that section q of the new law,
which says that the sheriff is not entitled
20 charge commissions on sales where the
properly is bid in by the creditors, took
effect aG once.
Judge Hazen held that the latter view
of the case was correct, and that section Y
of the new law applied just the same as IL
standing alone and not incorporated IN the
new MISREPRESENTATION law. THIS de-
clsion will deprive the sheriff of large
amount of fees, and the case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court TO test the
question there. The district judges
throughout the state all differ as to the re-
Gemption right of mortgagors under the
new law, some claiming that the law APP
plies to old and new mortgages ailke, ana
others that the new law applies only TO
contracts made since its adoption.
Judge Hazen, Republican, of Topeka;
Judge Humphrey, Democrat, Of Junction
City: Judge West, Republican, of Fort
Scott, and Judge Reed, Republican, OF
Wichita, have decided that The operation
of the present law is limited TO new con-
tracts, while Judge Bashore, populist. OF
kingman, and Judge Bailey, independent,
of the Twentieth district, hold that the
law applies to mortgages already IN force
when the law was passed. The supreme
court viii soon be called upon TO settle the
exact application of the new statutes.

Allusion being made TO tho immense
aggregate sum OF money that was now
required for pensions. Judge Lochren
assented, saying it was rather odd, too,
considering that the war had been over
nearly thirty years. Ito also referred
to the fact that within few years the
total pension payments had been
doubled in volume, though this was a
natural result OF the liberal legislation
OF 1890. He thought there was a grow
ing sentiment in the country in favor
OF reform in tho matter OF pensions, a
sentiment that was reflected in mauy
influential newspapers.

A NOTED INSURANCE swIND1ER


John W. HllImon Found After Fifteen
Years, During Which 1t Was Ciaimed He
Was Dead,
NEW YoRR, May 9,-The Times says;
John W, Hillmon, the hero and chief
Conspirator OF the famous "Hillmon in
surance swindlo," OF Kansas, has been
found.
For fifteen yeors his relatives have
been trying in the courts to prove him
dead in order to collect about SIT, OOO IN
surance on his life.
During all these years the insurance
companies holding the policies have 70.
sisted the claim on the ground OF fraud
and conspiracy, alleging that lillmon
was not dead at all. The face value OF
the policies has been more than con-
sumed in tho costs Of litigation, and the
case has come to rank as one OF the
most remarkable and romantic in the
history OF life insurance frauds. The
insurance and litigation has been car
ried on in that state, but tho compa-
MES concerned are all located in the
east and the contest has been directed
from this city.
The first intimation that the fraud
was finally traced was obtained from
Charlton Lewis, the attorney for the
Mutual Life Insurance Company Of
this city which with the New York
Life and the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance Company, carried the $40, 900
taken out by HiIlmon on his life in
1873.
1--WE have at last found Hllmon
aliveand WE'LL" said Mr., Lewis, in speak
ing of the case, "and know exactly
where we can lay hands on him. Alter
search extending over fifteen years
he has been finally traced TO the Pacific
coast and he has made clean breast OF
the whole affair"
