SUPERSTITION CAUSES
SUIT OVER GRAVEYARD
Objections to Homes on Old
Cemetery Site Lead to $780,
600 Foreclosure

The Mutual Life Insurance Company
filed suit in the supreme Court yester-
day against the trustees of st. patrick's
Cathedral. Gustave e. HERE and others
to f~oreclose "A mortgage for $4,000 on
the old Catholic cemetery property occu-
plying the bulk of the block bounded by
Eleventh and Twelfth streets. Avenue A
and First avenue. Counsel for the in
surance mpan said the trustees of
the cathedral are only nominal defend
ants because the church sold the entire
plot in 1912.
The complaint sets forth thai the ca
thedral trustees mortgaged the property
In 1911 to the Lawyers Title Insurance
Company for $l5O.000 and the mort
gage was acquired subsequently by the
plaintiff. which had also lent $4,000 on
the plot, making a total of s32O, 900.
In 1913, when the mortgage fell due, "A
aymen of S136 600 was made and part
Of the m~ortgaged premises was released.
The remainder, s1s4,OO was due Febru-
airy =. 1918, and because of non-pay-
ment of the principal the foreclosure suit
is brought.
1t is understood that the necessity Of
foreclosure arises from the failure up to
the present time of the plan for disposing
of the plot for building lots for tene-
ment houses. The plan under consider

GARRISON FAVORS
HUGE CITIZEN ARMY
War Secretary Gives Views on
Unreasonable PREPARATION
in the "Indcpendent."


Secretary of War Lindley NJ. Garri-
son, writing in the current issue OF
the independent. takes up the question
Of reasonable preparation" and says'
at has been shown that the perma-
nent military force needed to enable
the Government to comply with most
OF it's constitutional obligations can
he relatively very SINAI An at the
most n comparatively small increase in
that permanent force is all that Is

not be forgotten hat the one great
lesson OF all our wars is that they
must I've carried to u contlusion by citi-
zen soldiers. and these citizens must be
trained. To thrus, unframed citizens
into the field is nothing short of death
by governmental order"
The Secretary of War points out that
the United States has tried the "mini-
mum degree of preparation and our
history is fun OF its unhappy lessons"
He says there should he no doubt or
tlc choice, from the business point of
view. between no preparatit or the
minimum preparation and reasonable
preparation.
He says a less militaristic nation than
this country has scarcely. IL ever. eX-
listed 81 the face of the earth and he
draws attention to the trouble along tho
Mexican border. with the comment that
much OF the avoidance of this trouble
has been due to the perfect discipline
and highly proficient training of the
men OF the regular army
Regarding reasonable preparation
secretary Garrison says men who have
studied the subject with care believe
that a well trained body OF four or
five hundred thousand citizen soldiers
Immediately available. togcthc. with our
permanent force in the regular ana
militia establishments, will give US
reasonable guarantee against hostile n
vasion OF our territory. But he adds
that the cooperation of tn, navy and
coast defenccs must be considered and
that reasonable preparation practically
consists In being ready to meet this
latter contingency Df our fleet should he
driven from the sca), and to meet it
a force Of this size is believed TO be
necessary"

Not Conclusive.

The verdict of the coroner's jury on the
Seventh Avenue subway collapse is inter
esting but by no means conclusive. Ac-
cepting the theory that the supports in the
excavation were all right and the blasting
all wrong, the jury censured the Bureau
of Combustibles in the Fire Department,
which has some jurisdiction over blasting.
But it finds that there was no criminal
negligence.
A verdict Of nobody guilty" will not
and ought not to satisfy the public in this
case. Especially coming from a coroners
jury, such a decision will not satisfy; it
will be held to be merely another instance
in which the coroner system has proved
its inadequacy The District Attorneys
Office is investigating the disaster. To
that agency the public must look for &C
ton, and it is TO be hoped the action will
be adequate to punish those found respon-
sible for the loss Of eight lives, that there
may be no chance for a similar loss Of life
in future.

Police the Police.

When Mayor Mitchell and Police CON-
missioner Woods restored the club" to
policemen as an incident In the city's war
against gangmen there was general ap-
proval. But if that action is to be fol-
Owed by incidents such as that Of the de-
tective who assaulted and threatened to
shoot citizen in subway train and the
brutal clubbing of Tribune reporter
there is bound to be serious question
whether Mayor Gaynor's policy was not
the wiser one.
/ The agent of law and order who runs
amuck is graver menace to the public
than the outlaw. If citizens have to be
protected, or have to protect themselves,
against the police it is high time they
knew it. The case of The Tribune re-
porter is now in the courts, and this more
recent case soon will be. The Police De-
partment authorities have acted promptly
against both men involved. Nevertheless,
state of affairs in which such outrages
can occur is intolerable. There is needed
not only proper punishment in these cases,
but action within the Police Department
which will prevent the recurrence of at
tacks on citizens by their sworn protectors.
