big Four" Has
New Member In
Cleveland Man .

Cleveland, Ohio, June 22-The
Big Four" as the leaders in the four
big transportation brotherhoods has
been frequently referred to, has a
new member as the result of the re-
vention at Houston, Texas, of David
B. Robertson, of Cleveland, as presi-
dent of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive F'iremen and Enginemen to sue
coed w. S. Carter, Cleveland, who de-
clined to accept again after being
chief executive of the firemen for
many years. Mr.. Carter accepted a
newly created Office with the broth
erhood, as head of a research and

Mr.. Robertson will take his new
Office next January. Mr.. Robertson

cd to leadership of one of the big
four brotherhoods.
He was born in Youngstown, Ohio,
As years ago and has held
various high official positions

career shows the remarkable rise of a
typical American from brick boy to
president of one of the largest in
ternational railroad brotherhoods in
the world.
At the age of II years Robertson
started work in a brick yard here.
He began raiiroading in 1899 as a
wiper in the Pennsylvania Railroad
shops, later going to the Erie shops
as an ashman, advancing to oiler,
and then entering train service as a
fireman. Shortly after he was elect
cd chairman of the Youngstown To-
cal of the firemen's organization.
Later he was promoted from fireman
to engineer
In 1905 he was elected general
chairman of the firemen's brother
hood for the Erie Railroad system
and was elected a vice president of
the firemen in 1913.
Deprived of the chance to go to
school at The age of II years, after
three years in grade schools, young
Robertson made up the deficiency by
six years of studying in night schools
after working hours.

Cure Morphinism
And Lessen Crime
Says Hub Medic

Chicago. June OLA cure OF
morphinism would decrease Grim
inality, according to c. Edouard
Sandoz, medical director of the mu-
nicipal court of Boston. "Morphin-
ism, in a majority of our morphine
cases. is the main determining cause
Of criminality," Mr.. Sandoz declare
in a report published in the Journal
of the American Institute of Grim
inal Law and Criminality. He gave
the proportion of arrests of NOR
phinlStS for violation of the drug
law to arrests of morphinists for 9th
er causes as one to three and one
tenth.
Applying this proportion to the
10 Boston municipal court cases OF
132O for violation of the drug law.
we should have, besides, about S37
arrests of morphinists for other Of
lenses, a total of 1852 arrests" he
added.

these conditions a sentence of sew

Almost all our cases are below

Heavy Overhead
of German Strain
In Bitter Protest

Washington, June 22-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press.)-Heavy overhead
charges incident to the creation I'M
der the Versailles Treaty Of a num-
Der of entente commissions to SUPER
wise the execution by Germany OF the
stipulations of that convention, nave
been made the subject Of bitter pro-
test by the German representatives
who attended the Genoa Conference.
Copies of the statements which were
submitted to that Conference by the
Germans have reached Washington.
and it is understood that they also
have been furnished to almost every
foreign office.
One Of the rulings Of the Repara-
tions Commission for instance was
! that all officials and attaches OF the
entente commission were to be PAID
| by the German government. not on
the basis of the German salary and
mark. but on the basis of their home
pay in the equivalent in marks. Thus
the salary of a French division gen
eral, which had been $4,000 francs
! last year, had to be paid in about two
million German marks. while Brit
ish General was rated at four mil
! lions. The General who acts as
| President of one of the Commissions
received $3.50 marks monthly; a
colonel $4,000 marks and even a pri-
waite soldier was paid $3.50 monthly.
The grand total of the salaries OF
the commissions which Germany has
been meeting since the armlstlce has
! been sixteen and three tenths million
marks monthly. the statements show.
In addition there have been expenses
incident to accommodations, etc,
amounting to five and a quarter
million marks each month.
| The membership of the interallied
control commissions includes AM
orleans, $50 Belgians, 629 English
men, SIS Frenchmen, 139 Italians
and IS Japanese. The proportions
are different in the case Of the Rep
aration Commission to which there
are attached IA Americans, L. Bel
CLANS, Is Englishmen, So Frenchmen.
Z Italians and two natives Of NADIA
sascar. The expenses of this COM
mission were set down in the state
nenIS as dNeTdSl HS y -,OUV,VVV MAI No
monthly.
The Restitution Commission was
set down as costing the German gov
eminent 100000 marks monthly.
It is not generally known that there
are three Americans on the Interal-
lied Coal Commission and four Am
orleans on the Missing Research
Commission.
Costs of the maintenance of the
troops in occupied German territory
paid by Germany aggregate $40 mil
lion per marks monthly, divided
! between the powers as follows:
France 331 millions, Belgium GO MIL
lions, England IS millions and Am
erica SO millions. For the &c months
up to December. 1920, the aggregate
cost was three billion five hundred
million marks. The sum Of one
billion one hundred million marks of
this total is charged to the account
Of the American troops. one billion
two hundred million to France, one
billion even to England, 1874 million
to Belgium and ten millions to Italy
The approximate cost monthly OF the
American army OF occupation was es-
timated at forty-two million marks.

, which prior mortgage constitutes an
incumbrance on the property.
The law seems to be well settled
that first mortgage means first
lien and when bonds are sold in
the market as first mortgage bonds
all persons understand then to be
first liens. When one speaks of
lending money on first mortgage no
| thought of anything but first lien
is entertained.
This meaning of first mortgage
is SO thoroughly grounded as to lead
to the sequence that a second mort
gage is understood to be one with
out intervening liens between it and
the first When a contract calls for
a first mortgage it means one prior
to all other liens. Appeal of G cen

trary to the view expressed above
but an examination of that case will
show that it had many unusual fea-
lures, and that it was decided upon
the ground that the fact that the
railroad company had already issued
a bond of indemnity to the common
wealth was of such notoriety as to
Ia rerarInd n historical
known to the inha bitants of Will
Jamestown, and that the bonds in
question in that case were the par
ticular bonds contemplated BY the
vote of the town.
I'VE note that while the circular
offering these bonds issued in 1916
describes the mortgage securing
them as a first mortgage the cir
cular issued May - 1922 by the
same bond house does not claim
them to be first mortgage bonds
but mortgage gold bonds and in
reference to the opinion of counsel
quoted in the circulars, the same
change has been made. The opinion
of counsel quoted in the letter to
YOU from the bond house nowhere
speaks OF these bonds as first mort
gage bonds but distinctly states
that the mortgage securing them IL
subject to a prior mortgage.
I'VE fail, therefore. to see any
reason for claiming that the bonds
in question are first mortgage bonds.
