JUDGE REFUSES TO
SET DATE TO HEAR
FORECLOSURE SUIT
Believes That Receiver May
Be Able To Save Part Of
Hubbard Estate

In order that some of the property of
Mrs. Fannie Hubbard might be saved
for her in her declining years and since
the management of the estate by Nor
ris Harris, the receiver, is entirely sat
is factory to the court, Judge William
Galloway, of the equity department of
the circuit court, today refused to set
a date for the hearing of the evidence
in a suit to foreclose a mortgage
against the Hubbard property aggre-
eating nearly $4,000 but the estate
includes, the Hubbard building where
the Oregon Electric depot is located,
valuable house and lot in this city and
farm of 202 acres near Salem.
Judge Galloway declined to set n
date for the hearing BECAUSE if he hears
the evidence he will be obliged to pass
upon it within so days and if a decree
of foreclosure were handed down at
this particular time there is no ques-
tion but that all of the holdings of
Mrs. Hubbard would be swept away.
The reports of the receiver to the court
show that the estate is now upon a pay
ing basis, the taxes, insurance and in.
terest upon the mortgages are being
paid from the rentals collected from
the Hubbard building and Judge Gal
loway expressed the belief that as long
as no one is losing money the estate
may be maintained upon its present
basis. The judge informed the attor.

Professor George G.. Groat Of the
University Of Vermont, chairman of the

order at 730 Tuesday evening in the par
lors of the First Church a meeting of

In explaining the purpose Of the meet
ing, Professor Groat stated that as
result of the survey Of the citys chari-
ties made by Francis II. Mclean, gem
eral secretary of the American Associa-
ton Of Societies for Organizing Charity
the need was felt of central Organiza-
ton to be the nucleus Of intercommuni-
cation between the various churches and

Of the charity work, was the subject Of
an informal discussion, led by the chair
man and In which nearly all Of the rep
resentatives took part. The advantages
and drawbacks Of such a system of CO.
operation were discussed at length, and
it was decided that there was a healthy
sentiment for project Of this kind in
Burlington and that it had large and
definite field Of usefulness, 1t was also
agreed that the work must proceed
slowly and be established on firm
foundation. a larger number OF repre-
sentatives are expected to be present at
the next meeting. when the tentative
plan of an associated charities will be
submitted, which, II approved by the
meeting will then be officially consid.

MAKES NATIONS STRONGER
Foes of Preparedness Seemingly I'm
acquainted with Facts about War.

Driven from their contention that Amer
lea Is too big to be conquered, the anti
preparationists, disreCarding the fact tina !,
preparedness Is not a temporary ISSUE
maintain that when the present war IS
over, the nations of Europe will be ex-
hausted and therefore of necessity harm
less. But this is not true says Eric Fisher
Wood in the Century Magazine. The
precedents Of history prove the exact re-
verse to be ture. Nations are never so
strong morally and politically and their
armies are never so effective, as imme-
dately following long conflict
practice makes perfect" Greece was
never stronger than after Plataea and
Salamis, nor Rome than after the Second
Carthaginian War. The Netherlands were
politically most powerful at the termina-
ton Of 40 years Of combat with Spain,
during which they were on the receiving
end Of nearly every blow
In 1862 France dared to disregard the
Monroe Doctrine and invade Mexico to
protect her citizens from persecution by
the irresponsible savages who inhabir
that territory. In 1865 she meeky agreed
even Napoleon III lad no wish to try
conclusions with the veteran army that
marched down Pennsylvania avenue IN
May, 1866. A nation may begin a war
with five million men, and year later
may have lost one million Of them, bu.
any two million Of the survivors could
probably defeat the entire unseasoned five
millions of the year previous.

stove in which a roaring fire had been
built She put a plentiful dose of water
to the beef and left it there to cook,
which it did, down to a fragile, and then
the smudse began. The house was quick
~ filled with smoke and an alarm sent
in. When the iiremen arrived window
or two was broken, which let the smoke
out. One of the firemen who rushed into
the house was surprised TO hear a voice
close by and, cropping around, he found

RATS FEASTED FOR YEARS.

While it was known that hundreds OF
rats had made their homes in the old Ray
building in Brattleboro, which was &C.
cupied for many years as livery stable
until destroyed by fire a few weeks ago,
the extent of loss by them never was sus-
pected until the workmen began to tear
away the debris. Every nook and Granny
of the building in that portion where the
stable had been located, including space
between floor and ceiling. was found to
be stuffed solid with shucks Of oats. Tho
rodents had eaten the kernels out and
packed the shucks away between the
boards. 1t is estimated that hundreds of
dollars worth Of feed went to support the
rats during the many years the stable
was in use.

FAILURES FOR OCTOBER


Some increase in the country's business
mortality is not unusual at this period
OF the year, and no special Significance
attaches to the rise in the commercial
death rate during October. Total fnsolv-
ences, as reported by r. c. Dun & Co.
numbered 1859, or 1856 more than in the
previous month and the largest since
July, while several defaults OF execution
al size helped to swell the liabilities to
s25, 522.3 $3.50, as against 62oS, 90 In Septem-
Der and an average of about 5000, 600
for the four months prior to that time.
When comparison Is made with October
1914. however. the showing Is favorable,
not only from numerical standpoint
but also in respect to the aggregate in
debtedness. Then 1.G6 concerns failed
owing $29, 70217S in 1918 only ABA suspen-
siOns occurred and the amount involved
was S20,245, 1885, though in that year prac-
>hcally 200 more reverses were reported
In October than in September.
The growth in the number OF failures
last month was mainly in manufacturing
lines, 407 such defaults for $S.637, 922 con-
trasting with but 29S for S4,739,1lO in
September On the other hand, in Octo-
her, year ago, there were 435 insolvent
manufacturing firms and the total debt
of these reached almost sl3foO0,00O while

in 1913 the number was 400 and the ag-
gregate obligations about $1O,5OO,OOO. Only
al more trading houses were forced to
suspend in October than in September
1904 against 1,O53-and the liabilities were
but slightly larger, 80 955, 2O2, as compar-
ed with 1881 ,735 in the earlier period.
Last year there were 1,176 similar re-
verses for s1l ,534,6 sos and 954 in 1918 for
&,43l, I'll Among agents, brokers and
firms not properly included in either
manufacturing or trading, the mortality
was unusually high, there being no less
than 9S failures in this month for $6,929 .256

month. 80 had individual obligations of
100000 or more, aggregating in all SILL

less than as such reverses in October.
1914, for the unusually heavy sum OF
sl6146,O95 and SO and 81, respectively.
in 1913 and 1912. when the liabilities were
S, 064. 400 and So, 756359. After eliminating
the suspensions of exceptional size, there
remained 1869 smaller failures and the
amount involved by these was S13,69322l,
