MANLEY PORTER'S CHILD DIES
AT FATHERS NEW HOME IN
GOODRICH OF BURNS.

Harold Manley Porter, infant son of
Manley Porter, former cheesemaker
eight miles east of Lancaster who
moved to Goodrich, Taylor county, in
July, was burned to death there on
Aug. 26, so friends here have learned.
At noon of that day fire that had
been smoldering at neighbours broke
out and the men being away the
women joined forces to put out the
blaze by carrying water. Little Harold
was left in care of other children while
the mother was helping fight the fire.
He saw his mother through the door
and unnoticed crept toward her. In
so doing the child crawled over places
where the fire had swept and when
he was picked up his hands and feet
were badly blistered The child lin
gered for day and diet!in commissions
Burial was made at Athens, Wis. The
infant was born in Grant county on
Sept "a, 1919, and lived IL months.

The evening world., 1920-09-15

because OF the following significant
| facts that are chiefly responsible for
| the present housing condition:
There is n short age OF residential
| apartments in the city OF apprOxi-
mately 100000, since residential
building was practically stopped dur
ing the war.
About 10000 new apartments arc
the annual needs Of the city for nor
NAL increase Of population.
About 90 houses, with 2l7i apart
ments, were erected in the first seven
months Of the present year. During
the same time. about 1000 apartments
were converted into other purposes
than residences
This state OF affairs. in the first
half OF the year, shows that New
York, instead OF having normally
$4,000 new apartments, has only about
200.
Investments in mortgages have d.
creased in number.
II has been estimated by experts
that mortgage investments have been
withdrawn TO the amount OF 10000
900, owing to the loss Of return on
account OF the income tax, and that
such loss represents 2h per cent. OF
the investment. In many instances
been but and 3 per cent.
In view OF this such investors have
diverted these moneys to Government
tai bonds, which yield n net return
OF and 6 per cent, since they are
exempt from income tax. BY ellmi-
mating the income tax, a net return
OF or per cent would be assured
the small or large investor Of mort
cages.
IF the mortgage security could be
legalized the same as Governmental
bonds, successful drive could be
launched to induce the average per-
son to invest his small earnings in
such securities because he already
undertsands suoh investments, having
purchased war bonds.
As TO eIempting the tax on mort
cages this would only beneflt cor
porations, which place large sums of
money, and the State would be the
loser. Also. It would be Of little profit
to the individual lender. 1t would not
encourage him to lend money on
mortgages since the amount he would
gain would be but one-half Of 1 per
cent.
For instance, a $4,000 mortgage,
II exempt from mortgage tax, would
only mean a saving Of $50. A person
would not invest such a sum Just 20
save $50 in preference to other
sources OF investment where there
are larger returns.
The subject OF the city going into
the business Of building property for
rent Is regarded by specialists as a
questionable move in view of various
similar experiences, such as the Gov
ernment building houses around
shipyards. After spending over $780,
100000 In such properties, the
Government was forced to sell at less
than half the original cost.
Another important move in the d.
rection Of Federal aid would be that
OF securing preferential shipments
for building materials, since the in
adequate transportation facilities
have wofully retarded the completion
of many buildings.
BY limiting the rent of every
apartment house 70 10 per cent. .
OF the valuation of the property,
which is embodied in a bill to
be introduced by Senator Dow
ling, a fair return to the land
lord 10 assured, according to the
author Of the proposed bill,
especially since the plan in this
connection Is to fix the valuation

Of property at 20 per cont. more
than its assessed valuation.
A 10 per cent r-turn should
meet with tho approval Of real
estate people, IL they are not
profiteering, since 6 per cent. is
deemed by the Supreme Court Of
tho United States TO be a fair
return on all public utilities.
Also the difficulties that have
arisen from Justices OF the Court
fixing the rent in nc
cordance with the recently enactcd d
rent laws would be eliminated by this
provision, since the rent to be paid
would be readily and definitely de-
termined

Tennis Match Gives
Gallery Many Laughs

Philadelphia, Sept. 11-Comedy is
not often an element of a lawn tennis
match between experts, but Peck
Griffin introduced it yesterday after
noon in his match against Williams
In the East-West tournament. With
Griffin playing in deep court and ex-
pecting a long drive, Williams acquir-
ed the habit of sending over a gentle
toss that barely cleared the net. Peck
of course, would have to run like mad
in the attempt to reach the ball, and
almost invariably he missed it, Such
exertions do not set we'll upon a man
of Pecks build. One of Griffin's
shots that hit a ball boy watching an
airplane gave the gallery another
laugh, and minute later Peck sent
another swift one whizzing past the
ear of Tilden. sitting in the UNI pire's
chair. The ball just missed the
worlds champion. and Griffin prompt
~ apo1ogized for his inaccuracy.

FIRE TRUCK HITS
AUTOMOBILE ON
TRIP TO BLAZE

Answering to an alarm of fire at
station on Cannon street where a
carelessly thrown cigarette had set
fire to an awning in front of the
building, Truck No. 3 of the Head
quarters company crashed into a Cad
lilac touring car owned by Peter
Rappeline of lat Beechwood avenue
at the corner of Main and Fairfield
avenue at $3.50 o'clock last night. No
injuries resulted although the Cadillac
was badly damaged and a jitney bus
that was directly in front of the tour
ing car and which the latter banged
into a result of the smash got off
without damages.
The fire truck was driven by John
Halstead and was in charge of Lieut..
Hopkins. Due to the slippery condi-
ton of the pavement the big truck
became unmanageaible when 1t be-
came lodged between the trolley racks
and despite the attempts of Driver
Halstead the machine continued to
skid after the brakes had been set
and the crash was unavoidable.
Traffic at that point was tied up for
about 5 minutes. By the time the
fire apparatus had arrived at the
scene of the fire it had been put out
by Detective Sergeant John Curry
who also discovered the blaze and
gave the alarm.

SAYS WILSON
WON FOR LAKE

Charles B. Marsh, of Easton, dele
gate to the Republican state conven-
ton thinks that Mayor Wilson was
the original Lake man. He says:
'It is amusing from the standpoint
of one on the inside to see the scram-
BILE for the position of original Lake
man. To my mind the lone delegate
who voted for Lake on the second
ballot is entitled to that honor. When
it became apparent that neither Will
son or Hall could win. and that
Hea1ey was being carried to certain
victory, representatives of both Wilson
and Hall conferred. There the scheme
originated. 1t was sanctioned by
Wilson and carried to Hall, who ex-
ploded the bomb. Mr.. Roraback and
his followers sat as if Stunned and
when they awoke up TIE thing was
over. AT first Bridgeport delegation
seemed uncertain of their position,
but as they voted we'll down the list,
by the time Mr.. Havns' name was
called there was nothing to do but to
climb on. One lone Bridgeport man
voted for Healey. It was a wonderful
victory for Mayor Wilson, which even
his worst enemy, if fair must
acknowledge. AS to his friends and
supporters. those of US who had work
ed Loyalty and long for his nominal
ton are naturally disappointed at his
failure to land. but we rejoice that he
was big enough to turn his defeat into
his greatest victory. A splendid ticket
has been nominated; every one is sat
isfied and united. To Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Hall belongs all the credit, as to
reflected glory. Well, there is enough
of that to go around
