WASHINGTON, March 12. - The president by executive order has turned Midway islands over to the navy de- partment This was done at the in- stance of the Pacific Gable company, which has asked for the protection of its property on the islands. Rowing Japanese sailors are in the habit of putting into the islands for the plum age of sea fowl and for guano. It is probable that the navy will establish a small station on the islands, and Amer ican warships will make practice of touching there much more frequently than they have done in the past.

D. W. MooRING WON.
Proved His Title to a Piece of Proper
 ty in New Haven.


 E. w. Mooring has come out victor in law suit in New Haven over which the papers of that city have been roast ihg him during the past year. MT Mooring bought a piece of property on Winchester avenue for about $3,OOO from man named Bartell. Very soon after man named Richard Bradley claimed the property was his and that Mir Mooring could not take possession of it. MT Bradley, through Arv1ne S Pinney, entered suit for possession of the land and MT Mooring retained Wood and Russell of this city. The case has been pending in the superior court in New Haven for about a year, during which time the papers of that place made it rather interesting for MT Mooring. It was a very strange pro ceeding; two well known men claiming possession of the same piece of real es- tate. The records failed to prove MT Bradley's title, nevertheless he main tained the property was his. MT Moor ing had paid his money for it and he informed MT Bradley that he could have the property for what 1t had cost him. But MT Bradley would not pay a penny for 1t; he held he would recover I IL LuIOuSu Lu0 COuELS. AL AdSL II NtsNO oped that the property was owned by MT Bradley's deceased wife and that | he was given life interest in 1t, and upon his demise 1t was to become the l property of the New Haven Cemetery association. The administrator on Mrs Bradley's estate decided that in order to pay some debts tat least this Is said to have been the claim), it was neces- sary to sell this particular portion of the estate MT Bradley was to have bought it, but MT Mooring was more alert and 1t was sold to him at pulp l lie auction. Then 1t dawned upon MT Bradley that if the property in question should not go to the Cemetery associ- ation at his demise his whole estate would be liable to that organization for the loss it would necessarily suffer by failing to benefit by. the provision already mentioned in his wife's Last will and testament which disposed of this piece of property to the associa- tion-named therein. Yesterday, there fore, MT Mooring's proposition was ac- cepted: he gave deed of the property 1 to MT Bradley. who in return paid MT NIooring in full. besides his costs

LINCOLN, Neb., March 12. = The flood situation in Nebraska is improved, md the worst is believed to be past. For fifteen years railroads have suf- fered no such damage as during the past four days, and 1t will require a week with favorable weather to put the roadbeds in as good condition as before the flood. The ice gorge at Plattsmouth has gone out, leaving the two Burlington bridges intact, but the Rock Island is still without bridge across the Platte between here and Omaha

coanmodated by a school in the Naug- atuck valley than one in the Housa- tonic.
 Representative Hitchcock of Wood bury, who spoke for Danbury at the hearing Tuesday, reiterated his opin- ion, while agreeing that Woodbury trade went to Waterbury.
 Representative Todd of Bedding fa- vored Danbury.
 N. Burton Rogers of Danbury said there were forty-seven pupils in normal schools from Danbury and towns tribu- tary to it. The New Haven and New Britain schools would be relieved to that extent by normal school in Dan- bury.
 Principal Phenix of the Willimantic normal school said that practice schools were necessary to the success of a normal school. There were from 15O to 200 graduates from normal schools an- | nually, and the demand was for about 400 strained teachers each year. There was more room for pupils in the Will limantic school.
 MT Potter of the committee thought | 1t strange that another normal school should be needed, so long as no pupils were turned away from the present schools
 Representative Cross of Waterbury thought the efforts of the Danbury con- tngent had been very amusing during the afternoon. He briefly stated the reasons why Waterbury should have the normal school.
 l Principal Marcus l.. White of the New Britain normal school gave some information as to the character: of the training in such schools, the need of practice schools and the general conui. tons that prevailed as to the need of trained teachers. He refused ftom thirty to fifty applicants for teachers every year, because he had none to meet the demands made.
 The Waterbury advocates left with the committee the following state n1ents in regard to the relative claims of the two cities for the school: l Per cent
