BUILDS HER HOME ON
LOT OWNED BY ANOTHER
KENTUCKY WOMAN EREcTS RESI-
DENcE COSTING $1,000
Located on Ground Which Belongs to
Another-college Holds Mort
gage on House Not
Existing

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 23.-Mrs. Dora
Uttinger of this city is in the unique
predicament of having built $1,000 resi-
dence on the lot of w. w. Chamberlin
instead of her own lot, which adjoins
that of Mr.. Chamberlin. AS, under the
law, improvements placed on land be-
come the property of the owner OF the
land, the house which Mrs. Utttnger mas
just completed and moved into legally
belongs to Mr. Chamberlin, Mrs. Uttinger
not even having the right to remove II
to her own lot.
Some time ago Mrs. Uttinger and Mr..
Chamberlln bought lots in the Belt Land
addition to the city on Breckenridge
street, the former getting lot 5, block IS,
and the latter lot 6, block 10. Chamber
lin did not begin the construction of a
residence as soon as did Mrs. Uttinger,
,aand this probably accounts for the mis-
take. Pemberton avenue and Shropshire
avenue run parallel with each other and
inclose the property in question. The lots
are comparatively the same size and have
the same appearance. Instead of begin
ming at Pemberton avenue and counting
down to her lot No. 5, Mrs. Uttinger
counted up five lots, which showed hers
to be lot No. 6. The mistake was not
noticed at the time, and she Immediately
began the construction of her residence.
Thursday Chamberlin discovered the mis-
take and went to the county clerks office
and found that the house had been built
on his property.
Another strange feature is the fact that
Kentucky university holds $4O0 mort
gage on the house and lot of lot No. 8,
when in reality there is no house on that
lot About the only way matters can
be straightened will be for the construct
ing parties to exchange lots.

practical vessels for life-saving purposes
that can be constructed.
1t was built at San Pedro and was put

captained by P. M. Grant, an expert
swimmer, who has had considerable ex-
perience in rescue work
The men of the crew are Howard Cut
Ter, George Freeth, Louis Hammel, Wal
ter Winchester and Harry Klein.

BOLD THIEF BETRAYED
BY STOLEN PH0N0GRAPH
BROOKLYN POLICE MAKE GOOD
CAPTURE
Incident Goes to Prove the Advan-
taaes of a Musical Ear in
other Than Musical
Profession

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Detective Elmer
Hoagland of the Brownsville. Brooklyn,
police precinct, has fine ear for music
and a heavy hand for criminals. HIS
acute ear, recovered yesterday to tnelr
owner a fine phonograph and ffty-tnree
records, worth $500; his weignty naho 10
stretched out for the thief.
Mrs Clara Young keeps an Ice cream
parlor at 2006 Atlantic avenue, wnere
sweethearts cool the ardor of their anec-
ton. Mrs Young's landlord, Frank Lefr-
mann of Atlantic and Ralph avenues,
sent the phonograph, No. 4l2l, 10 her.
Thereafter Mrs. Young's customers en-
joyed their ice cream to appropriate mu-
sic. If they ordered chocolate, the phono-
graph played Way Down Upon the SUI
vance River; If pistachio, The wearing
of the Green; if strawberry, some horld
air sung by Caruso; If lemon, mo Wed
ding Bells for Me-" and so on. MIS-.
Young did fine business.
She and Mr.. Lehman grieved wnen
somebody entered her place or frigld re-
fection and stole the phonograph and rec
ords The burglar took nothing else, al
through the cash drawer and many cans
of ice cream were open to him. Mrs.
Young reported the theft to the Browns,
VILE police. Detectives Hoagland and
william Collins were put on the case, and
had not even a clue, usually plentiful In
police stations
They were on another case yesterday,
and were sleuthing through Dean street,
East New York, when, near Buffalo ave-
nue., monographs music fioated to them
through an open window Hoagland
halted, entranced.
"It's the tenor's first solo in Aida, ne
whispered. Beautiful, lovely-thats
fine phonograph'
Then thought struck Hoagland.
"Come along" he exclaimed, and he
hurried Collins in 1852 Dean street, and to
Mrs. Mary Corcoran's apartment, where
the phonograph was sweetly emitting
"Oh, dearest Aida"
my son by my first husband, James
Mulvey, bright boy of IT, gave me this
self-working hand-organ," said Mrs. Cor
coran HE bought 1t, he said, from a
secondhand dealer on Fulton street. He's
very fond of music and is thinking OF
opening drum factory"
Hoagland examined the phonograph. 1t
is numbered "4721," and he took it and
the records to the station house. He has
not found Mulvey, who, maybe, is accu-
mulating sheepskins and wind to start his
factory.
