MORTGAGE ON
FEDERAL SITE
Instrument Filed Yesterday to
Cover Loan of
5000.

A mortgage for the amount of 5000
was placed on file with the Registrar
of Conveyances yesterday against the
site selected by the Federal govern
ment as the one upon which the Fed
eral building for Honolulu is to be
built, known as the Mahuka site. The
mortgage was made out by William
Mahuka in favor of Bethsheba NJ. AL
len. Provision is made in the instru-
ment for the turning over of the prop
erty to the Federal government, so
that there will be no hitch in the ar
rangements because of the new claim
against the property.
The mortgage is subject to a first
mortgage to Samuel C. Allen; to the
lease held by John Emmeluth; and to
the contract dated from June Ii, 1907.
from the mortgagor to the Henry Wa
terhouse Trust Co.. Ltd, providing for
the sale TO the latter of the premises
for a site for the Federal building. By
the indenture Mahuka assigns to
Bathsheba N. Allen all his rights and
interest in the aforementioned con-
tract, and the balance of the $25, 100
due from the Henry Waterhouse Trust
Company on purchase of the land. The
mortgage is to receive this and any
other moneys payable to the mortga-
gor on the execution of any deed I'M
der the contract, as attorney fact.

to straight division on party lines:
and in its success lies the only hope of
an end to the fractional quarrel which
has involved so many people and such
vast interests in domestic warfare.
OF the three city parties, the Democ-
racy alone proscribes no citizen from
public employ; it alone asks no ques-
tions as to a mans religious beliefs or
his business affiliations. 1t makes no
appeal to religious fear or hatred; it
has not and will not seek support from
ecclesiastical sources. because it has
condemned such seeking in all of its
public platforms and has faced defeat
repeatedly rather than abandon its
fixed policy.
On the other hand, the American
party stands committed to the employ
party, and the prescription. therefore,
of all Mormons. Its councilmanic can
didates are pledged, not only to this
policy, but they are pledged to let ire

posedly organized to fight intolerance
and autocracy in politics, the Amer
leans" have subscribed to the most in
tolerant program ever framed in Utah,
one seldom equalled for bigotry and I'M
American surrender to boss rule in this
country.
Candidly, what hope have the Repub-
licans of ever settling Utah's problem ?
If they could by any possible chance
win in the city election, it would only
arouse the Americans" to greater eff
fort. And what hope can the "Ameri-
cans" ever have of becoming strong
enough to dislodge from power in this
state the federal officeholders who fat
nism? A Democratic victory would re-
tire them, but American" strength in
the city is their best asset in the state.
Isn't it true that a Democratic vic
tory would do more to compel the re-
union of Republicans than any other
happening? Isn't it true that in Salt
Lake City either the Democrats or the
Americans" are bound to win? And if
this is true, are not the men and wo-
men who desire an honorable peace
here bound TO vote the Democratic
ticket-the only ticket that is named on
straight party lines, that appeals to no
fractional feeling. that is pledged to ad-
minister the city's business as a bust
ness proposition and to employ men for
public service on their merits without
regard to feuds or religions?

THE HON ECON ERS.

Baltimore American.)
They are coming from the mountains,
They are coming from the sea.
They're returning from the country,
But not fast or cheerily.
For the playtime now is over.
No more they're free to roam.
But they're marching 6ackT from good
times
To the tune of Home, Sweet Home"
They have done, the places nObly
Spent their store of boarded wealth,
With a careless ease plain showing
They're just working for their health
They have tipped and they have squan-
dered,
Shone before the eyes of men;
Now they've got to put their noses
To the grandstone once again.
The homebound crowd is growing;
Not the merry crowd that went,
Facing t'other way some weeks back
On a good time eager bent
Now they're cross and much disgruntled
Feeling life's hard old poke:
Dead tired, they're coming homeward,
And, what is more. dead broke.

AND THEY CALL 1T SLOW.

After reading the story of Mondays
ball game in Philadelphia between the
Quakers and the Detroit Tigers one is
about the calm and quiet of Philadel-
phia and her people. Just 25,127 people
paid admissions to see the battle, and
close to $1,000 others got by the park
police and saw it, in the grounds or
from the trees and housetops in the Vi
cinity. The whole town went wild with
excitement, a riot was one of the fea-
lures of the performance and all the
symptoms of baseball mania were in
evidence for the seventeen innings dur
ing which the players fought for su-
premacy. Even at this great distance
the reader catches some of the fever
and wishes he might have been one of
the bowling rooters who verged on
turns as victory or defeat seemed i'm
minent for their nine. In all the annals
of the great national game no such
fierce enthusiasm has ever been known,
no such widespread interest all over
the country as centers about the two
teams.
Detroit was points, just seven
thousandths of per cent ahead of its
rival. The fate of the national cham
pionship might be decided ultimately
by the result. In the seventh inning
it looked as though Philadelphia had
the game, when one of the great rallies
in baseball history came and the Tigers
tied up the score in the ninth. From
then on for eight innings it was a bat
tie royal, one worth crossing the CONT
nent to see; and only when darkness
came did .the fight end In draw.
Nothing compared to it for interest, for
clean sport, for courage and endurance
and skill has ever been seen in this
country.
Why does the game draw such
crowds and hold the national affections
for year after year? Largely because
it has none of the elements of gambling
about it and because it's professional
management has recognized the neces-
sity as we'll as the cash value of keep
ing it clean from the faint that at
taches to almost every other profess
sional sport. Horse-racing. prize-fight-
ing even the college games have been
tainted with crooked methods and the
odium that attaches to crookedness:
but baseball as 1t is played in the big
leagues has been singularly free from
the sinister corruption of other sports
and so attracts men who care little for
other diversions
One feature alone of Mondays game
would have made 1t notable if it had
had no other. and that was the remark
able pitching of Donovan of the De-
troits. Under terrific tension he pitched
the whole seventeen innings, and al
though he weakened in the seventh, he
recovered and finished stronger than he
began. 1t is safe to say that no pitcher
before him ever performed so remark
able a feat under such difficult condi-
tions.
| Still, as has been remarked before. it
| seems about time to drop the facetious
comment on the slowness of the Quaker
city.

Consolidated Owns 1t All

The Consolidated Railway company now owns all the stock of the Torring- ton & Winchester Street Railway con- pany. When the big deal was made last summer all but thirty-three shares of the stock passed into the hands of the Consolidated company. These thirty three shares were held by Massachusetts men. and the stock was in litigation, and could not be bought at that time. It was all common stock. for which class the Consolidated paid local holders $50 share.
 The thirty-three shares were sold on Saturday at auction in Torrington. There were but two bidders for the stock, which was sold in toto, James Alldis. formerly president of the Tor rington 6 Winchester company, and Samuel A. Herman. MT. Alldis bid up to $3,000. MT. Herman bid $S,630 for the Consolidated.

Tried to Break Jail.

Mrs. Dora Barnett. aged 19, of New Milford, made daring attempt to break from the county jail at Litchfield early Saturday morning and nearly lost her life. Although her scalp and spine are injured, her recovery is expected. Her cell was on the third floor of the jail
 With her bare hands she wrenched loose the bars at her window and also the window casing making an aperture sufficiently large to permit of her body passing through. Then she took her double blankets, tied one end securely to the iron bars, and let herself down IA feet to an electric light wire. Her weight tore the wire from the building and she plunged 16 feet to the cobble pavement in the jail yard, being rem dered unconscious. The girl was carried into the jail kitchen and the jail physician, discovered that she had a serious scalp wound in back of her head, about an inch in length, and badly injured spine, but no fractures.

Awful Times in Great Harrington over
 Lemon Receiving Prospect
 Great Burlington almost forgets about that $2O,000 libel suit in it's attack of heart failure over the prospect of receiv- ing we'll developed lemon when the electric road from Westfield, Massachu- setts, to Canaan, Connecticut, is built. We don't know anything about the plans of the company behind the new project, in fact we don't know what company it is but we would naturally presume that if they propose to run this road direct to Canaan, they do so with the full knowledge that there is Great Burlington spot on the map and we would further presume that if they dodge that borough, there is a reason for it and that all the agitation with the types won't amount to shucks so far as concerns persuading the company to change their minds regarding a route.
 We do, however, admire their good, sound, horse sense in selecting Canaan for the terminus of the line. Roads from other directions will extend to Ca- naan some day and this road will desire to connect with them.

BLODGETT'S TROUBLES
Representative Has Had Hard Time
 Getting Home From Boston.

Representative Has Had Hard Time
 Getting Home From Boston.
 The Springfield Union says: eff he wants to get home on the same day that he starts, Rep. George H. Blodgett of Sheffield must start from Boston long before the adjournment of the Legls- lature every Friday, and go by way of Hartford. He draws the heaviest mile age of any member of the Legislature. and that any member has drawn in decade but he feels as if he ought to have an allowance for sleeping car berths also. Some members like to draw big mileage, because it is usually enough to allow little over for "velvet, /" but none of them envies him. Last week MT. Blodgett wanted to go home at the end of the Friday session, but he had to re- main until the end to draw his seat and it was too late to go home, so he remained in Boston over Saturday and Sunday.
 Sheffield is in Berkshire county, in the extreme southwestern corner of the state and is about equally distant from Boston by way of the old Housa- tonic to Pittsfield and then by way Of the Boston & Albany, or by of Canaan, Conn. Hartford and then on to Boston. By starting fairly early in the morning MT. Blodgett can get to Boston late in the afternoon, by way of Pittsfield. The return trips are not so easy, but by care ful figuring he has found that if he leaves the State House early Friday, be- fore adjournment, ho can get home the same night by way of Hartford.
