 These two eminent lawyers hav-

 And as has been we'll suggest ed by one of the local democratic newspapers, why should the of flee seekers object to frankly ac- cepting the situation and adjust their ideas to a one-year term in harmony with the constitution? Not one of them is being drag ged into the race for office, Some of them may try to sustain the fiction that they are can didates because of a public clamor for them, but we 0on't believe that they fool even themselves If they don't like the idea. of | for a one-year office, | there is before them the simple | and easy alternative of stepping put of the road for somebody else. -Ariz.

FORGOTTEN MORTGAGE
 BEING RESURRECTED
ONE OF LATE L. E. PARSONS
 HOLDINGS.
Suit to ForecIose on Trial In District
 Court.

The rather interesting case of Wal
 ter Bennett. administrator of the es-
 tate of l.. F.. PaysOn. against Joseph
 ii. Holmes and wife, B. c. Pecka anC the United States Land, Title and Leg
 acy Go. was before the court yester- day. This is an action for the fore l closure of a mortgage on certain prop erty in Collins addition Payson. a former member of congress from Tni-
 noIs. but for several years before his death resident of Washington, b C, had long been widely interested in real estate in this valley, both as owner and mortgagee. MT. Bennett was appointed administrator of that part of his estate
 lying in Arizona and was furnished with a schedule of assets.
 IL turned out that a mortgage on the Collins addition property was not included in the schedule and in fact had long been forgotten though the amount of it was s2,500. When Mir
 Bennett made the discovery of this mortgage he learned that the property had passed into the possession of the United States Land, Title and Legacy Co. formed four years ago. and of which Sid Henry is the president and controlling factor.
 The company had bought the prop erty of B. G. Pecka for SAY. The mortgage, according to the Iaintiff. the land and title company. had. before the filing of the suit. been outlawed: {: that is, more than four years had elapsed after the note fell due. but it was the contention of the plaintiff that it was kept in effect by the continued absence of Holmes, the mortgagor. from the territory, and that it was furthermore given new life by the agreement between MT. Pecka and the company regarding the assumption of the mortgage The deed whicl passed in this transaction recited that the property was taken subject to mort gage for a certain amount
 It was the contention of the plain tiff that there had been such an un- between MT. Pecka and the company and that this was the by Holmes. who sent letter to the Valley Bank before the sale of the property to Mir. Henry, giv- HE -4ISlIucl4oilS ftSdIulilS lut Sdlt.
 MT. Pecka said that he had no in- terest in the matter beyond the earn ing of his commission of S1OO for the sale of the property to the land and title company. In answer to a ques- tion on cross examination he said that there was some written agreement be- tween him and Mir. Henry but he could not say exactly where it was There had been some talk about the mort gage.
 The plaintiff seeks to hold MT. Pecka liable for the amount of the mortgage as well as to make sure that the mortgage still attaches to the prop arty.
 At the conclusion of the day Judge Kent continued the hearing until Sep tember to allow the defendants to fur 1ish further proof.

BOBBY MATTHEWS.
The Famous Curvsman From Dixie. Who Showed the Terrapin Boys
 How.

Bobby Matthews may not have beer the lIrst man to curve a baseball but he certainly appears to hay, been the first Southerner to learr and apply the trick Many thorough ly able commentators believe Bobby gathered this useful knowledge from close study of the methods of Ar thur Cummings. Some will go as fas as to say that Robert was there first in the matter of the curve It's point not easy to settle.
 Anyway. MT. Matthews was q pitcher who pitched for the Mary lands of Baltimore. held to his own counsel. absorbed the wisdom of oth- CTS and made the Oriole the rival oi the eagle As for the rest. he was usually as numb as one of the Patap- sco oysters native to his section, pos sessed of an arm like FitZsimmons. and not infrequently went into the fray accompanied by all the handles curves. depth and bottom of a par feet pitcher.
 It happened on a certain historic occasion when the Brooklyn Eek lords journeyed into the land of terra pin and colonels and made faces at the locals that the Eckfords were ia vorites at a prohibitive price. In a sporting way of speaking you could write your own ticket if you hap pened to fancy Maryland. Phonnie Martin was the server for Brooklyn. Nobody knew much about the Balti- more pitcher except the Baltimore players-and they didn't know any too much Later. however. people spoke of the Maryland pitcher as Mister Matthews. and said it re- spectful-like and impressed. Eckford scratched through. but it was an ac- cident. and when a return match was played, Bobby Matthews and his curves prevailed, and Martin had met his master.
 After that it was Matthews all the way. Except that they called him lovingly and on further acquaintance Bobby" instead of "Matty." it might have been prophetic of a situation Of a later day. Bobby came in for fame and a following. and so tanned that outcurve of his that he had it an- swering his slightest whim, like 1911 autOmaton.
 When Bobby pitched a no-run for the other fellows) game in 1871, he could have had any honor within the gift of an appreciative populace- His power was all the more respected be- cause it wasn't understood.

SEATTLE, Aug. ga move

people of Rainier valley, near this

Action is being taken because

temporary injunction Monday re-
straining the city and people from
interfering with the operation OF

The new Tax league this morn
