A foreclosure of mortgage against
the Strathmore hote! property was
granted by Judge Jas. L. Cooper in
the district court on Thursday after
hearing the case as stated in the
complaint which was fileo several
months ago. The proceedings was
largely formal one and there was no
contention between representatives
oi the parties in interest altho Messrs.
McLain & Pease were present as at
torneys for the defendants and ID. w.
Ross as guardian ad l.tum for c. Il. C.
Dye a minor heir. The foreclosure
was for s15.S13.25, of which S14.7S7.32

and interest thereon One thousand
dollars was allowed in the decree to
Messrs. McLain & Pease as attorneys
for the defendants and twenty-five
dollars to d. w Ross for appearing
as guardian ad litum for the minor
heir alluded to. The case went by
default so far as the defendants were
concerned and the court ordered the
property sold to satisfy the claims of
the plaintiff and the costs of the suit.
The plaintiff in the case was Horace
e. DEMO, executor of the estate of A.
Denio, deceased, OF Girard, Pennsyl-
yania. The defendants were Irene w
Dye. w. II. Fl. Dye. II. S. Dye, Matte
Dye Harris. Mary Dye Combs and c.

ors of the last will and testament of
Walter Warman, deceased, the Strath-
more Hotel company. the First Ma
tional Bank of Temple. Texas, and the
Daniels & Fisher Stores company of
Denver
The suit was brot under a mortgage
executed by the late r. c. Dye to
secure the payment TO the plaintiff of
two promissory notes, one of them
for $4,000 an dthe other for $1,000,
both of which bore interest at the rate
of six per cent per annum. The first
of these notes was given July T. 1902,
and the second on December Is. 1904
On the 7th of October, 1902, Mr. Dye
paid 10000 of the principal of the
original loan, leaving due $1,000 of
the amount named in the note and the
accrued interest Since that time the
complaint does not show that any
further part of the Indebtedness has
been cancelled. The interest and tax
es on the property have been unpaid
and delinquent for several years
The mortgage does not cover, or
otherwise affect. what is known as
the Strathmore Hotel annex. located
west and adjoining the main building.
Upon that there is now pending in the
district court money demand and
mortgage foreclosure in favor of the
Colorado Realty & Investment com.
pany OF Colorado Springs. Suit in this
case is brot against the same de.
PENDANTS. with the addition of Blake
Rogers as public trustee. Mortgage
on the StrathmoEe Hotel annex was
given by Mr. Dye on February 18th,
1912. to guarantee the payment of a
note for $1,000, bearing interest at
the rate of twelve per cent per an.

COAL SHORTAGE WILL Be
INEVITABLE NEXT WINTER

The threatened coal shortage. ma

concern to all. The consumers must
depend for their supply, first. on the
mines. and, second. on the railroads.

and service to transport coal from
the mines TO the points of consump-

The Denver subcommittee of the
American Railway Association on

the protection of the public in this
most vital matter. earnestly solicits
the cooperation of the consuming
public by asking that all Interested
promptly place their orders for nee
essary supply of coal to carry them
through the fall and winter months.
The important fact should not be
overlooked that even with present
car shortage conditions, the railroads
are in much better position to furn-
ish necessary cars and provide rea-
sonably prompt transportation ser
vice than they will be. even at the
commencement of the fail months or
later.
The railroads believe that the large
movement of troops drafted into the
army under the recent conscription
act, together with the movement of
necessary supplies for their mainten
ha ahn a1
ments, all added to the large volume
OF commercial traffic handled by the
transportation lines of the country
will create a condition of congestion
which will tax the facilities OF the
railroads to their utmost limit, adding
TO the uncertainty of the ability OF
the railroads to protect and transport
coal shipments promptly during the
heavy coal consuming season.
The public should also remember
that the business of the government
must take precedence over all other
traffic. and il the government should

WARMERS LOYALTY
 WAS NOT QUESTIONED
Mayor Mitchell Explains What He Meant--LegisIature Passed
 Qualifications Bill.

Albany, N. Y., April 3.-When Mayor Mitchell of New York stated recently that opposition of Senator Robert F. Wagner to the passage of the Rock away Qualifications bill indicated that the senator was working moro in the interest of Germany than in the in- terest of the United States, he did not intend to charge the legislator with conscious and intentional disloyalty to this country.
 This declaration was made by the mayor today while under cross-ex- animation before the senate on charges of having made false and malicious reports concerning Senator Wagner.
 Friends of Senator Wagner in terpret Mayor Mitchel's explanation as vindicatiOn of the senator's pa triotism. Senator Wagner, it was ex- plained, especially resented the im- plication that he is not loyal Ameri- can citizen, although born in Prussia.
 The mayor said he stood by the assertion that Wagner's opposition, which had delayed construction of the Qualifications from early February un- til the present time, was inimical to the interest of this country. He said the United States government did not profit thereby, but that the German government and the ROckaWay cor poration, owners of the land, were the only beneficiaries of MT. Wagner's tactics,

ALLIES CLOSING NET ABOUT TOWN
 OF ST. QUENTIN
Additional Important Gains Achieved by French and
 British.
Associated Press Summary

Each day finds the British and French forces drawing the net closer around St. Quentin. Already close to the outskirts of the town on the west and southwest, the British and French in fresh drives have captured all villages and points of support. Attacking on a front of more than eight miles, south and southwest, ot the harassed German stronghold, the French troops, notwitl standing stuh- born resistance by the Germans everywhere, met with success, taking strongly organized positions and vil- lages, notable among them Dallon, about two miles southwest, and Gis- secourt, two miles to the south of the town.
 The British already almost within stones throw of the western out skirts of St. Quentin, seemingly are resting there, while to the northwest they are carrying out maneuvre having as it's object the flanking of St. Quentin from the north. In this operation they have partly succeeded, according to the British official com- munication. Driving eastward from <, the region of Vermand, they have cap tured the town of Maissemy, five miles northwest of St. Quentin, and Ronssoy wood, further north. | Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig's forces also were successful in taking the village of Heinin sur Cojeul five miles southeast of Aarras, after in- tense fighting.
 Rheims has again been violently bombarded by the Germans. More than 2,000 shells have been thrown into that town. Paris reports that there were casualties among the civ ilian population.
 On the Russian front, the Germans
 delivered attacks against the Rus sians south of Illoukst, which is n the Dvinsk sector and south of Via dimar-Volinsky, in Volbynia. At one place the attackers succeeded in penetrating the Russian position, bat later were expelled in counter at. tacks, according to the Russian Wal office.
 Heavy snow in the mountain regions in the Austro-ltalian theatre is hampering operations.
