cHATTEL MORTGAGE REFORM.

Topeka, Dec. 2.-(Special) Under
the present law, a chattle mortgage
given to secure a loan only runs
for one year, even though the note
is given for five years. This re-
quires the maker to make a new
mortgage each year and the owner
to record it, all of which piles up
costs. Representative Hill, of Rus.

enable the mortgage to run during
the life of the note.

Mr.. Chamberlain is a prominent manu-

seems likely to be Judge Livingston w.

judge of probate for New Haven for FIVE

publican elected on the sly ticket.

am informed by the Waldeck Santa
rum that Mr.. Marriott has been in the

sicians."
After short discussion the case went
over until next Thursday morning.
The latest phase of the case is the
apparent ignorance of all persons con-
cerned as to who did the actual shoot
ing of Marriott. There would seem to
be even chance for doubt that Beale
and Williams were at the Marriott res
idence that night, had it not been for
their admission of the fact.
Marriott on the night he was shot is
reported to have said that he saw Will
liams fire. Since that time no one has
been permitted to see him. Mrs. Mar
riott was of the impression that it was
Williams who did the shooting. but her
description does not tally with that of
the prisoner in question. She says she
is not certain as to whether the shooter
wore a mustache. but is certain. how
ever. that she can recognize the man
when she sees him. -,
