A VERDICT FOR MILLIONS.
Maryland Trust Company Gets sudg
ment Against "a Land Concern

BALTIMORE. Sept. 27.-A despatch
Birmingham, Ala. says:
In the United States Court Tuesday
william Halls. ir.. OF New York, and
the Maryland Trust Company, Of Balti-
more. trustees, obtained judgment
against the Elyton Land Company for
81, 400 coo This action subjects the prop
erty of the company to execution to
satisfy the issue of the trust bonds.
The company's property, which lies In
and around Birmingham. is estimated
to be worth upward of 5000. coo, the
Elyton Company having founded Birm-
ingham. The suits are the last Of mass
OF litigation growing cut of the suits Of
stockholders who did not consent to the
transfer OF the ElytoR Land Company
to the Etyton Company. its successor.
and who refused to accede to exchange
their stock IN the old company for stock
in the new corporation
In speaking of the matter, Henry J.
Bowdoin. second vice president of the
Maryland Trust Company said his COM
pany had obtained a judgment against
the Eiyton Company for trust dividend
bonds which the Maryland Trust Com
pany held as trustees and which were
long overdue. Mr. Bowdoin said the
company started years ago as the Ely
ton Land Company, and for some years
had a run of phenomenal prosperity. In
recent years, however. it doomed Biz
mingham to such a great extent that
the taxes on property there went up at
an alarming rate, and the business Of the
company fell off.
\ number of notes for property sold
by the Elyton Land Company were in its
possession and trust dividend bonds
were issued against them. Later the
company attempted to reorganize. Tn:
new company was simply called the
Elyton Company, but many of the stock
holders objected to the transfer of prop
erty and to the issuance OF MORTGAGE
bonds, which were sent cut and for
which the Maryland Trust Company is
trustee.
Suits against the company became nu-
merous. and the Maryland Trust Com
! pany recently Instituted an action CT

ing. They are not interesting because
they are not true to the laws of the I'M
agination. All the old-time folh-stories,
which have delighted children from time
immemoriaI, are love stories in the sense
that at the end the hero and heroine are
married ard live happy ever after The
objection to this sort of fiction comes
from a prudish, Puritanical, and not very
moral notion that there is something
about love which is essentially sinful. The
idea that children can be kept from think
ing and speculating about love and mar
riage is ridiculous on the face OF it. Chl-
dren are human beings, not small eheruos
possessing only pair of wings and
facial expression, and they are going to
be occupied more or less with all the
affairs of their elders. 1t is much pet
ter that they should be innocentiy ana
happily interested in these things than
that they should receive the impression
that there Is anything wrong IN their
artless playing at Housekeeping, ana their

The Crisis in China.

The diplomatic crisis has become acute,
and the Chinese question is in more ex-
plesive state today than it has been at any
time, as regards the worlds peace pros
poets. The harm which Mr.. Mckinley did
by breaking the concord Of the powers,
through MS precipitation in accepting the
Russian proposal without consulting the
allies generally. has now become evident
European public opinion is unQuestionably
right in holding that his action is respon-
sible for the increased turbulence and bel

in the elevation OF Prince Tuan TO supreme
authority in the Government. and IN the
secret edict ordering Ii Hung Chang to
raise an army and retake Pekin.

cause and possibility OF peace with the

plomaey with two actions, both regarded
abroad as Weakened. undigni1ed. and
unworthy of country which, but few

Legation under the protection of powers
with whom the United States declines to
cooperate And the Berlin ''Kreuz Eel
tung,' observes that "a country subject
to whims like the United States, cannot
be permanently considered a factor in in
ternatfonal affairs
In the face of these wel-merited re-
minders and rebukes. the Administration
ambles on, blissful and Indifferent, and
prepares great scheme of mediation in
which Minister Conger is to arrange all
the details of an international peace con-
ference with Tuan. Ii, and Ching, with
out the smallest regard for what the
powers who have not scuttled out of Chi
ma. and hence are not out of the game
may have to say on the subject.

! So it is. but Europe should understand
