ROGERS LOSES MORTGAGE
Court Upholds Messiah Home
in 100000 Suit.

The Messiah Home for Children dis
continued yesterday it's suit against
Henry II. Rogers, which was TO cancel
a mortgage for 100000 on its prop
erty in The Bronx The Court of APP
peals upheld the action Of the trustees
Of the home. and IL is understood that
Mr.. Rogers has consented to cancel the
mortgage.
The late Mrs. Emily Rogers, mother
OF the defendant, was at one time
president OF the board of managers
OF the home. IL was through her that
her husband presented the grounds and
the buildings. After Mrs. Rogers's
death, in 1912. the son notified the
home Of the existence of the 100000
mortgage, although it was supposed
that the property had been given free
and clear.
Investigation showed that the elder
Mr.. Rogers had turned over the deeds
TO a clerk in the Office of his lawyers,
and, as the court commended, the clerk
was merely TO act as dummy to- take
title. This clerk gave II. H. Rogers,
jr.. mortgage on the property for
100000 for money loaned" Then
young Mr.. Rogers tried TO impose this
mortgage on the property Of tho home.

MANN PUTS MEXICO
PLIGHT ON WILSON
Says Order Could Easily
Be Brought Out of Chaos
Without War.
From Tho Tribune Bureau

Washington, Dec %. We must Ip-
hold cur rights upon the high SEES
with dignity and hrmness," declared
Representative Mann, minority leader,
in speech in the House to-day, in
which he approved the administra-
tons demand on Great Britain for
ron-interference with American snip
ping. Mr.. Mann asserted that his
country need not fear war because Of
its irsistence that American vessels
with neutral cargoes should 90 unmo-
Tested.
While approving .he administra-
TONS British note. the minority leader
was harshly critical Of the Presidents
Mexican policy He read newspaper
accounts of starvation IN Mexico. and
said direct responsibility for present
conditions in that republic rested on
the administration.
When Representative Garner, n
Texas Democrat. asked what the mi
nority leader would do TO correct con
diticns, Mr. Mann replied:
81 DO not have the executive authority
and | cannot undertake TO say what !
would do. but If had the authority !
would find way Of correcting these
evils. There are evils execution e,
murders starvation. famine and raplhe
Throughout MeSico. We are nre-
venting any one else from obtaining
order .here. and we have not as mucn
nerve as would supply an anglewo:m
in the present Department OF state
upon this subject. II may satisfy
some 10 say we cannot do any better
If we cannot. then We ought 20 with
draw our assumed power over Mexico.
We have no moral right 20 say that
anarchy must continue TO exist ln
Mexico. and we are responsible before
the world to-day for the deploraOie
conditions existing there. II thefe
we're proper conception OF our du;les
we could easily bring order out OF
chaos. and that without war
Turning from Mexico, Mr.. Mann ie.
fcrred to the published accounts OF
the administration note TO treat
Britain protesting against the seizure
on the seas Of American SHIPS with
neutral caIgoes. and SAID:
IF the statement IS true that
sharp protest has been made an
hone il is true commend the admin
istration for taking the attitude II
has.
81 hope the administration Will in
sist that we have the right 10 ship
goods ir reutral vessels to neutral
countries and preserve our rights
abroad. They have no neral right TO
destroy all Of our commerce. II may
be that some of the nations would IKE
