SCHOOL BOARD CONTROVERSY
ENDS.

The bottom fell out Of the school
board controversy in Baltimore City
which has claimed the attention Of
the people of the State and more
particularly of that City on Tuesday
when President Semmes withdrew
the charges against Commissioner
Hooper and then both voluntarily
resigned. The people are glad to
see such public spirit manifested by
these two men who have caused so
much notoriety over what was really
nothing but a personal controversy
into which the school matters Ct Bah
timors City were dragged. The
only interest the public sought and
seeks is in the schools and the people
are glad that Messrs. Semmes and
Hooper dropped their personsl con
tsntions and have made the way for
peace and order in the school board
of Baltimore City in which there has
been so much turmoil OF late.
1t 10 now to be hoped that the
people of Baltimore City will have
peace to reign supreme in all matters
pertaining to the schools Politics
aud all personal controversies should
should be kept out Of the schools.

PRESIDENTS WELCOME.

The New Year receptions at the
White House are events which, in
spite of the gorgeous array in which
the foreign diplomatic service pays
its respects, mark ours as being a
government of the people by the
people for the people. For the New
Year receptions are literally wide
open welcomes to all the people of
the United States if all the people
should choose to attend. There
were over 5000 American citizens
who paid their respects to President
Taft last Monday and as conse-
quence Of the cordial greetings that
were handed out by the head of the
nationthe presidential right hand
was somewhat tired.

For the first time in months the
Supreme Court bench is full. On
Tuesday, the oath of Office was
administered to Willis Van Devan-
ter, Of Wyoming and Joseph X.
Lamar, of Georgia, as associate
justices of the Supreme Court. The
two new associate justices took the
oath at noon. The commission of
Justice Van Devantsr, was read by
James McKenney, clerk Of the
Court. He read the oath and then
kissed the Bible. Justice Lamar
followed, repeating the same cers-
mony. They then took their seat,
OF bench. On account Of i'll health
and deaths seats on the Supreme
bench have heen vacant for upwards
a year. There are many important
cases coming up before the Supreme
Court at this time and it is well that
they be argued before full bench.

Honest Medicine Versus Fakes.

President Tafts recent message
suggesting an amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in its relation to
prepared medicines, does not refer to
such standard medicines as Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
Kidney Pills, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded of
ingredients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical pro-
fession itself as the best known rem
edial agents for the diseases they are
intended to counteract For over
three decades Foley's Honey and
Tar Compound has been a standard
remedy for coughs, colds and affec-
tions of the throat. chest and lungs
for children and for grown persons,
and it retains today its pre-eminence
above all other preparations of its
kind. Foley Kidney Pills are equally
effective and meritorious.

deed given by Mccullough and Tai
bott This piece OF land was iuclud7
cd in the mortgage which was exc
cuted prior to the giving Of the bond
for a deed and in the suit Of fore
closure such purchasers having been
made parties appeared and filed an
swers. The foreclosure decree re-
cites that these answers were with
drawn by stipulation In a, suit for
a specifc performance the purchas-
ers of tract numbered 2, upon the
pavment of $3.50 the remainder due
on the bond for a deed. could have
secured a decree conveying the title
Notwithstanding McCullOughs death
and the probate of his last will de-
yising the residue OF his property to
plairtiff, but the title 10 the premises
which could thus have been obtained
would have been subject to KEGS
mortgage which was prior to the eN-
ecution of the contract to convey. So
TOO in the foreclosure suit these pur-
chasers by answering might have set
forth their interest in the tract Of
land and could have obtained de-
cree of similar import, but it would
have been subordinate TO KEGS para
mount right which would have been
protected in his decree.
It is needless 10 speculate whether
or not the defendants in the fore
closure suit, who were the obIgees,
in the bond for a deed made an
agreement with Kees that in consid-
Grafton Of Withdrawing their answer
he would secure a title by decree
and sheriffs deed to the entire mort
gagged premises and execute to them
deed to their tract of which they
we're the equitable owners, upon the
payment of $3.50 remaining due on
their contract of purchase for as
this money equitably belonged to
Mrs. Talbot and to the Mccullough
estate and was paid to KEGS, evident
ly without objection in order to per.
feet the title, it should be credited
on the mortgage Indebtedness. No
allowance however, should be made
for the sum of $1,000 received by
KEGS for a conveyance of tracts num-
bered 8 and 4, or for 800 which he
obtained for executing a deed to tract
numbered ., for prior to granting
such iterests he had secured the
sheriffs deed for all the mortgaged
premises, and as no part of such
sums was payable either to Mrs
Talbot or the Mccullough estate
whether he was paid an adequate
consideration for his interest in these
tracts or made donations thereof is
immaterial.
Deducting from $1072.J2, the
amount of the mortgage debt May
16, 1895, $3.50, the balance due on tht
bond for a deed, there remained ow
ing at that time $722.52. Computing
interest thereon at the rate of 10pe
cent per annum from May 16, 1895
to July 5, 1911, when this opinion
was handed down, it is found to b,
$1,165.S6, which added to principal
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1911-07-11

amounts to s1.sSS.3S as the sum due
on the martgage indebtedness and
necessary to be Did by plainti1 as
a condition precedent to the right OF
equitable redemption.
BY awarding to plaintiff an undi-
vided half of tracts numbered
and ). the value of the present mort
gage security thereon is necessarily
impaired, and to compensate the
mortgages in part for their loss OF
indemnity the sum Of s1,SSS.SS now
found to be due Ida B. Jones, Emma
A. Keene and Charta o. Zimmerman
or hereafter ascertained to be due
them on account of permanent I'M
provements, ETC., must be paid by
plaintiff to the defendants, Lafayette
Townsend, Mamie L. Burkhart and
Samuel NJ. Garland according to their
respective interests represented by
the security held by each at the time
Of such payment, as compared with
the relative values of such tracts,
August I. 1894, when they were sold
bv the sheriff. From the evidence
before US it is impossible accurately
TO determine the value at that time.
The worth Of the entire lands speci-
fed in the sheriffs deed must be re-
garded as 5000 and this sum must be
apportioned to the several tracts in
the ratio of their respective values
August 4. 1894. which fact must be
determined from testimony to be
taken upon issues of interpleader be-
tween the several groups of defen-
dants.
If within 60 days plaintiff pays to
the clerk of the lower court SlSSSSS
irrevocably to be distributed to the
defendants who may be found en-
titled thereto, a redemption will be
initiated which right shall become
perfected when plaintiff pays to such
mortgages or owners, as the case
may be. the worth of one-half of all
permanent improvements made upon
the respective tracts since they were
sold under the decree of foreclosure,
and also one-half of all taxes i'm
posed thereon and paid by the de-
PENDANTS since the death of Mrs. La
vina H. Mccullough less one-halt
the value of the rents, issues and
profits received since that time, and
also less one-half the worth of any
wood or timber cut and removed
from the premises.
Unless the sum of $1,SSS.9S is paid
within the time specified, the mort.
cages which were undertaken to be
foreclosed will be strictly forecloseC
(Wiltsie, Mort. Foreclos. Sec. 16O)
and plaintiff and all persons claim,
ing by, through or under it will be
barred of all right, title, claim, in,
terest or estate in or to the lands ant
every part thereof,
The decree of the lower court will
therefore be modified as herein indi
Gated, and the cause remanded and
if such payment is made within tn,
time limited, a supplemental decree
will be given conformable to finding!
