County Register Orders No
Withholding Of Mortgages,
Etc.-Abuses Alleged.

Register Walter A. Evans has is
sued an order that all deeds and
mortgages registered at the Court
House shall appear in the list printed
in the newspapers daily. Clerks in
his office have been notified to pay
no attention hereafter to notes from
lawyers asking that publication of the
mortgage be withheld.
Many mortgage lawyers are exert
ing all the influence they possess to
secure the resembling of the order,
but the register says, II was stung
once myself buying a second mort
gage when I thought it was a first.
and know the reason why all mort
cages should be made known. In
stead of letting up. more reforms are
coming
Many lawyers applaud the order,
however, saying that it means the
end of sharp practices with which
they cannot compete and win be
universally approved when the full
meaning of It is made clear.
mot for Publication
In explaining the order. the regis
ter said Today;
When I took Office I found that
many of the mortgages filed here
We're marked mot for publication,
which meant that they were not to
be included in the record maie public
in the newspapers.
Most of the notes came from the
same lawyers over and over and l

by some of these fellows, while their
clients thought the money was going
into first mortgages.
u afso found that good many
| of the local real estate men follow
the newspaper record, and that some
of the reporting companies do the same
| thing, and their records were incohl-
plete on account of the Withholding
OF certain papers.
sOf COURSE L appreciate the fact
that there might III rare cases be rea-
sons for the keeping of a deed or
mortgage secret, but there has been
so much harm done to people by
reason of this secrecy in the past that
/ decided to issue the order.
"a number of lawyers have come
to. me and asked me to rescind the
order, but have refused They have
also brought considerable influence to
bear to have the order rescinded.
However, when the people in general
know the reasons for the giving of
publicity to this matter, I am sure
they will approve of the course that
I have adopted.
Some of the men that have come
to me in the interests of the lawyers
who wanted the order rescinded, am
sure, were misled and did not know
the real reason why the lawyers
marked certain papers not for pub
lication."
Register Evans is also enforcing
the order against smoking in the
vaults in the registers offfse While
the order has been in effect for the
past ten years it has. been observed
more in the breach than in the OBJ
servance. After sufficient warning
has been given to persons who make
habit of smoking in the vaults
they will be barred If they continue
to break the rule.

SCHOOL BOARD
| TURNED DOWNON
INSURANCE PLEA
Insurance Fund Commission
viii Insure Schooihouses
as Heretofore.

Regardless OF the Board of Educa-
TONS attitude, the Insurance Fund
Commission will issue fire insurance
policies covering the public school
property of the city for the three
years commencing Monday next.
This was decided at a meeting of
the commission during the noon hour
today, when a request from the
Board OF Education that binders be
furnished for thirty days, was re-
fused.
Under Chapter 25s OF the laws of
1912. the commission held that 1t had
no alternative but to renew the in
surance upon the school buildings.
This law provides that a resolution
may be passed by board of educa-
tion to insure property with a muni-
cipal commission. and that from
and after the adoption of such reso-
lution," the property shall be i'm
sured in the municipal insurance
fund Of the city" Such a resolution
was passed in 1872.
The Board of Education has asked
an opinion from Charles Meyers. its
counsel, upon this law. Opinions
among the school commissioners
upon it differ. At least one commis-
SiOneI, George M. bcfHys DcAtcfcS
that the Board OF Education has no
alternative but to let the Insurance
Fund Commission issue the policies.
The commission at today's meet
ing instructed its secretary, James
Rvrne. to collect the necessary data
so that the policies may be renewed
for the ensuing three years. A rea-
son advanced for the Board of Edu-
cations disinclination to place its
Insurance with the commission with
out more ado, is said to be a theory
that the board must advertise for
bids. Under the Ramsey law. how
ever. this will be Of no avail, as a
uniform rate was established.
The communication from the Board
of Education asking binders was
signed by Samuel Gaiser, superin-
tAndent Of supplies.

Schemes, Declares Head
Of Company.

Echoes from Roland D. Croeker' :
alleged Irregularities were sounded
yesterday afternoon in Referee
Charles NJ. Mason's section of the
Bankruptcy Court in the matter OF
Parker r. Bradley, Inc, bankrupt
leather manufacturer. of this city.
Crocker is the missing local lawyer
and promoter whose matters are also
before the Bankruptcy Court.
During the examination 1t de-
veloped that Parker r. Bradley, head
of the defunct leather concern, had
opened an account in the Liberty
Trust Company at the time the miss
ing lawyer was connected with the
bank and also attorney for the Brad
Tanning and Finishing Company,
. other business venture of the bank
rupt.
Il show you deposit book of the
Liberty Trust Company. Is this the
only account YOU had in this institu-
tion?" asked William Harris, counsel
for Franck Child, the receiver.
s'Yes, that IL the only one. The
account was never any good. 1t was
another of Crocker's scnemes, replied
Mr.. Bradley.

$4,000 Loan.
When questioned about $4,000 loan
made by the bank to the. leather con-
cern, which the former alleges had not
been paid. Mr.. Bradley said:
I'VE don't deny the loan. Some time
after It was made we assigned 1t TO
the Dooner & Smith Company prior
to their going into bankruptcy and
we gave them In return shares OF
stock in the Bradley Tanning and Fin-
fshing Company. We believed that

did you make an assignment, Mr..
Bradley?" Mr.. Harris asked.
YES I made an assignment and
the papers were left with Crocker,
replied the witness.
During the examination 1t developed
that Bradley's books were in such a
muddled condition that Referee Mason
decided to have them gone over by an
accountant. The referee also directed
Bradley to file his schedules OF cred
itors on December 10. The matter
was then adjourned for two weeks.

DOY-ED RECALL
TO Be ASKED BY
Is, IS REPORT
Understood That Lansing Has
Called Naval Attache Per-

SEQUEL OF CONVICTION
OF STEAMSHIP OFFICIALS
Question Said to Have Been
Discussed at Cabinet Session.
Comment Refused.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Secretary
Lansing is understood to have in
formed Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, that Captain
Boy-ed. naval attache to the German
embassy, had rendered himself per-
soma non grata to the United States
government as the result Of his con-
necfion with the eonspirators of the
Hamburg American line, who yester-
day We're found guilty IN New York.
The matter was understood to have
beer the subject of discussion at the
cabinet meeting today. Secretary
Lansing at the end of the cabinet
meeting fatty refused to answer any
questions on the subject and other
members of the cabinet were equally
silent. The German embassy also
refused to talk about it.
The state department was believed
to be of the opinion that as Captain
Boy-ed had admitted his connection
with the Financing of the operations
which the New York jury gave a YER
dict as being Illegal, there was moth
ing else to do but inform the German
government of its views.
By informing the ambassador that
the attache Is persona non grata, the
United States leaves it with the Ger
man government as to the manner in
which Captain Boy-ed shall termi-
nate his connection with the en-
bassy. This is the usual diplomatic
procedure in the case Of an attacne
of an embassy or legation whom the
United States finds Objectionable.
Captain Boy-ed's activities in the
United States since the war began
have been the subject of close atten-
tion by the state department and the
department of justice. Several times
it had been broadly hinted that the
American government might intimate
to Germany that the operations of
her naval attache were Objectionable.
with the inevitable suggestion that
his connection with the embassy
should be terminated. Each time.

THOUGHTS TO
PONDER UPON

THE PATH OF progress for
your neighbgr may prove the
road to ruin for you. Mans
individuality does not permit
him to initiate another with
out risk of losing rank.
ENTHUSIASM helps energy to
achieve. When your battery
is well charged with this d.
vine ecstacy you are good for
hundred-mile run-a run
full of fun.
THE slipshod way is taken by
the jay who only works for
pay. II you watch the clock
you can't get to bedrock in
your work.
EVERY ten years you buy a
house and lot from your land
lord. Did you ever think of
that? When you pay $50 a
month rent il amounts to $500
