MORE THAN TWO YEARS.

Retirement Had Failed-Was an Up.

known for His Severity on tho Bench.
STAMFORD, Conn, Aug. li.-Police Magis-
trate John Owen Mott Of New York died
this afternoon at the sahatorium Of DR..
Ashley Sooville, In the town of Darien, Conn.
Mr.. Motifs death was due to old age.
He had been at the sanatorium for two
years and three months, and went there as
a result Of general debility. The climate
and treatment had beneficial effect and
he was able to do good deal of driving
and some walking until about three weeks
ago. when he collapsed. He continued to
lose strength until his death this afternoon.
just about the time Magistrate Mott
went to the sanatorium an effort was made
to have him removed from the bench In
New York for alleged mental Incompetence.
The effort was defeated.
DIR. Scoville said tonight that Magistrate
Motifs mental condition was good until
the end. Other persons who talked with
him while he was in Darien were impressed
by his soundness OF mind.
Magistrate Mott received his appointment
from the late Mayor Strong, and although
efforts were made to Dust him from the
office ever since he has been unable to at
tend to his duties on the bench he stuck
to the Job to the last.
That his health had failed and that there
was no hope for bis recovery was known
as long ago as July, 1905 when the City Club
asked for his removal from office. At that
time he was an inmate Of the sanatorium
where he, died. The charges we're not
Dressad when H. waa learned that Mott waa
apt to die at any time.
He was born In Saratoga; 70 years ago.
He was elected District Attorney Of Sara
toga county in 1855, and for many years he
took an active part In upstate politics.
He, was Republican. Because OF his
Assistant United States District Attorney
here. After serving his term in this Office
Re praotised law for awhile and then was
appointed City Magistrate.
From the start Magistrate Mott began
to attract attention on the police court
bench. He seemed to be unusually seyere
him: His friends said that he had got SO
used to being q prosecutor that 1t was diff
fcult for him to be lenient. He had q raspy
temper, and he soon became the terror OF
policemen and every one else who had to
attend his court.
He ceased to attend to his judicial duties
Board Of City Magistrates on June is that
year and voted on several propositions
carrying patronage, but did not apparently
know what the proceedings were about.
Soon after this he was taken to the sana-
tor1um.
His home was at 81 East Seventy-seventh
street, where he lived with his unmarried
daughter Another daughter is Mrs. F. K:
Watts OF Bloomfield, N. j. The funeral
will be held from his late home in this city.

a mail box means may find out on any
rainy afternoon by watching the mail box
hanging on the south wall Of the Brooklyn
Bridge, near the entrance to the south road
way, Manhattan.
The bridge police say the box is entirely
too small to accommodate the mail deposited
there every afternoon, and especially on
rainy days.
During heavy storm recently many
persons on their way home stopped and
fairly poured letters into this box, until
at $50 O'Clock the mail protruded from
the receptacle.
Then two young women attempted to
put in more. They we're aided by an office
boy, who jammed the protruding letters in
with stick.
Count the wrinkled and rumpled gowns
on the street these bargain days. At least
five women out OF ten are wearing them,
for this is the great bargain season Of the
year. All the shops are selling of their
linen suits and skirts and frocks at reduced
rates and all the women shoppers are taking
temptation to put on the new frock OF, suit
before 1t Is done up, no matter how shop
worn 1t may be. Consequently half OF them
are going about happy in their bargain
frocks, but looking as though they had
worn tnelr clothes all summer.

come matters of public notoriety, it
was incumbent on him as part of his
duty to his profession, to act, has TAX
en- the initiative.
In taking this step, step which ev-
cry right-minded lawyer ought to feel
prompted to take under like circum-
stances, he will no doubt be charged
with personal feeling in the matter,
though there is no one at the bar of
Hawaii better armored by high stand
ing and professional and personal rep
utation to cast off such charges, than
he.
But because Mr.. Ballou has taken the
initiative, is no reason why the Bar
Association should not still take ac-
ton. Let the community know not
only that the Bar is jealous of it's hon
or and of the ethics of the profession,
but that the Bar Association repre-
sents the best ideals of the profession.
Give to Mr.. BallOu, who has initiated
the investigation, and to the Attorney
General who must conduct it and fol-
low it up with serious proceedings, if
satisfied that the facts warrant it, the
wholesome support which will come
from corporate action. Let the com
munity know that the Bar Association
is the conscience and the good con-
science of the Bar.

THE 5000 CARAT DIAMOND.


Despite the tendency of the age to-
ward big things, the immediate as
sumption regarding the SOOO-carat dia-
mond, valued at $5OOO,0OO, just found
I'm South Africa, is that it will not be
cut in its entirety, forming probably
the greatest jewel i'm the world but will
be divided nto a number of smaller
gems of marketable size. Such a dis
position of the enormous crystal would
be a misfortune.
In old days the giant gems were
eagerly sought by rulers. They were
in fact the only possible purchasers of
such treasurers, and the history of the
states of Asia is replete with instances
of wars and tragedies growing out of
jealousy aroused by these wonders Of
the mineral world. 1t may be doubted
If royal parsonage today would be
willing to spend the 81, 900, 900 necessary
to secure this remarkable jewel, for
royal exchequers are by no means
flush and there be parlous times in
close view of some of the sovereigns
of the world. But in place of the
monarchs of the past have arisen ranks
of kings OF finance, men or taste as
well as vast wealth, who are persistent
collectors of the rare, the beautiful and
the historic. Is there not one such pre-
pared now to step forward and ac-
quire this jewel, to place 1t on exhibit
tion for the admiration of the multi
tudes, and its preservation from the
devastation of the commercial lapi-
dairy? To split this marvel into smaller
gems would be wanton act of vandal-
ISM so long as there is the least hope
of finding a purchaser who would be
willing to invest fortune in It for the
sake, perhaps, of identifying it for
ever with his name Fame travels
/ through the ages occasionally on Just
such vehicles and this may be the
opportunity of centuries for some man
to immortal'ze himself,
