Dill TO redeem real estate from a

not be entertained by this court with
out full compliance on the part of the
plaintiff with the statutory prereoui-
sites. The plaintiff not only fails n
make any offer in his bill to pay the
sum found to be equitably due on the
mortgage, but the bill contains no al.
legation Of any prior tender Of paw

neglect or refusal on the part Of the
defendant to render an account of the
amount due as requested by the
plaintiff. or that the defendant has "in
any other way by his default prevent
ed the plaintiff from performing or
rendering performance Of the condition
OF the mortgage. Under such circum-

this State that a bill to redeem cannot
be maintained. So in this case in the
absence Of any amendment to the bill
the appropriate mandate would be ex

According to q report made by Capt
John Pratt of the Canadian risnery pro
teCtive cruiser Curiew, at Eastport. Mon
day, the fines assessed against the II
boats captured. NOV. IS, for Illegal fishing
amounted to $3.50 and while it has not
yet been paid there is little danger OF
the owners of the boats trying to escape
the penalty. since they would be in a
tair way to lie held up and their boats
condemned whenever they We're caught
in Canadian waters again.
Capt. Pratt stated that the steamer
Judge Moore. owned by the Lubec Pack
ing Co. Of L-uhec. also the steamer Quod-
ha wing illegally caught fish in their pos
session. The other American boats Were

The net-boats were valued at about $50

above the herring which We're on board

All of the boats were released on their

Can't Pratt is not worrying about the
owners keeping out of the way. as this
would he n most serious thing if they
were found across the line in the future.

Gently formed here, as stated exclusively in
The Star Saturday. steps were taken to in

are as yet unaffiliated with 1t. The meeting
was held Saturday night at the temporary
headquarters of the alliance, room 326 Cor
coran building, 18th street and Pennsylvania
avenue. The president of the Washington
branch is Mr.. George Prendler represen-
tatfve of the carpenters; while Mr.. David

addition to these officers the names Of the
delegates appearing on the charter are
those OF James s. O'Hagan of the plumb
ers. Thomas F. Doyle of the brickIayers.

engineers.
One of the causes of complaint against
the Council of Allied Building Trades. as
stated by member of the alliance is that
such trades as the carpet layers and pipe
coyerers are admitted to the council.
The alliance" added the speaker, will
only admit to membership the bona fide
