BUILDING & LOANS
Secretary Akers Of the Centennial
Corrects Our Story.

Secretary Joseph Akers, of the
Centennial Building and Loan
Association, of this city, sends us
the following letter relative to an
article which appeared in the Lam
bertville Record. last week:
In your paper of July %, 1914,
is an article under the heading of
New Hope B. & L. Prosperous,
part of which reads as follows:
The shares of the New Hope Build
ing and Loan Association mature in
about seven years, against the
usual thirteen or fourteen years in
building and loan associations else
where. This is done by making
the premiums double. On loan
of size one-half is often taken by
regular mortgage and the other
half by installment mortgage, max
ing it possible for the borrower to
pay it no faster than in thirteen
year loans.
= The article is very misleading
as all associations do not mature at
the same value.
The New Hope association
stock natures at 500 per share;
the monthly dues are 81 per share
and it runs about seven years, so
the stakeholder pays about $84 and
receives 500 per share at maturity.
The Centennial Bnilding and
Loan Association stock natures at
5000 per share; the monthly dues
are ST per share (the same as the
New Hope association,) and the
last series ran II years and 5 months
so the stakeholder paid in dues S149
and received S2OO.5O per share
at maturity.
AS to the part which reads This
is done by making the premiums
double | do not understand that
part of it, as the premiums, gener-
ally, do not increase the earnings to
a very great extent.
Trusting you will make correc-
ton in your paper, and place the
matter in the proper light, / remain,
Yours truly, Joseph Akers, Secretary
Centennial Building and Loan Asso-
ciation.'

right, and we were right, but the
manner of expressing the facts in
the case may have been misunder-
stood by some. Both associations
are such splendid organizations that

ticket, was elected to office yesterday
over E. A. Lockett and Lee Allen by
the largest vote that has ever been

437 out of S52 votes polled. Mr.. Lock,
ett was second with 254, and Mr.. Allen
ran third with 161 votes. The vote
given Mr.. Council was both a majority
and plurality of the votes cast. The
vote accorded Mr.. Council was even
larger han that expected by his most
ardent supporters. His election was
the result of veritable landslide,
which started when the polls were op-
ened yesterday morning and lasted
up to the last moment they were open.
while the chief interest in the cleo
tion centered in the race. for mayor,
still the aldermanic contest was inter-

(By Associated Press }

PARIS, Oct. 23.-The French war
ministry this afternoon issued an off,
cial statement declaring that through
out the battle area in the north of
France, the Allies has generally main
tanned their positions, notwithstanding
violent night attacks made by tie Ger
mans.
Reports from the eastern fighting
front reaching here this afternoon say
the Germans still command the Vistula
river, and that the efforts of the Aus

Jaroslau have been repulsed by the
Russians. Losses have been heavy on
both sides in the eastern theatre of the

MRS. CARMAN ON
WITNESS STAND IN
OWN MURDER TRIAL
(By Associated Press.)

MINEOLA, N. Y, Oct. 23,-Mrs. Flor.
ence Carman smilingly stepped into
the witness stand this morning to un.
dergo a cross examination in her tria
as the slayer of Mrs. Louise Bailey, q
wealthy patient of DR.. Carman, the
husband of the accused woman.
She told straightforward story OF
her suspicion of her husbands atten-
tions to other women and of fitting up
a dictograph in his office so that she
could overhear his conversation with
his women patients.
The wife of the doctor was subject
ed to a severe cross examination b;
the states lawyers, but remained
smiling through the whole ordeal. The
lawyers were unable to make her
change a single word of her statement
of events on the day of the murder.
At the afternoon session of court
the defendants daughter, who was her
constant companion during the period
Immediately preceding and since the
murder, testified at length, sustaining
in the main Mrs. Carman's testimony
as given yesterday.
Mrs. Carman's aged mother was al
so placed upon the stand by the de-
fense, and substantiated the facts OF
her daughters testimony.
Interest in the trial continues at a
high pitch, and many curious persons
crowded the courtroom during the en-
tire day, all eager to catch every word
of the testimony, which, however, was
devoid of sensational features.
The case, it is believed, will be sub
mitted to the jury tomorrow, and a
verdict may be returned before night.

PORTUGUESE MONARCH|S7
ATTEMPTS To THROW
COUNTRY INTO
REVOLUTION
(By Associated Press.)

LISBON, Oct. 23.-Announcement
was made here by the Portuguese war
ministry that on the nights of the
twentieth and twenty-first of the pres
ent month monarchists attempted an
uprising at various points in the re-
public, all the disturbances being sup
pressed by the authorities.
At Mafra a sharp conflict between
civilian partisians of the deposed King
Manual and soldiers of the republic,
many of the latter being injured.
The plans of the monarchists appear
to have been well laid and cleverly
concealed from the authorities, who
we're not aware that disaffection was
being fomented throughout the re-
public.
Leaders in the revolutionary move
ment, many of whom have been
brought to Lisbon under military ar
rest, are prominent in their various
sections, and except for prompt action
by officials of the republic, the rebel
lion might soon have assumed formid-
able proportions.

sional leaders and the president en-

said by several members of congress
that unless an adjournment resolution
is passed Immediately or further leg
islation actively attempted, of which
there is little prospect, the president
might his constitutional privilege and
adjourn congress.

relief of the South's cotton planters
can be agreed upon.
