zeal of party support, a voter
entirely overlooks the non-partisan
offices to be voted for appearing
at the head of the general election

The choosing of these officers, both
of the supreme and the superior

Cleveland, O.. Dec. IT Pl-Ship- ping on the great lakes, except as affected by conditions peculiar to this year represents an increase over 1925 according to George T. Marr, Secretary-treasurer of the Lakes Carriers association.
 Movements in iron ore, prelimi- nary estimates showed, will exceed the 1925 figure of 54,0S1,29S tons, and grain shipments will equal those of last year, barring poorer crops than are expected, he said.
 Indications are, Mir. Marr said, that coal movements on the lakes will be slightly lower than 1925, due to the English coal strike.

bother to find out what steps were taken to remove their equities, as personal service Is scarcely ever at- tempted in these suits unless the de- fendant is in the county or city where action is started.
 Some, however, will know 1t when Judgments for deficiency in fore closure proceedings are forwarded to the home towns" for collection.
 The question of foreclosure defi- c1ency Judgments Is just now the subject Of much discussion through Florida, as many leading Floridans are of the opinion that endorsements of payments upon notes and con- tracts given during the hectic boom days will leave such a bad taste in the mouth of the northern portion of the country as to produce a de- trimental effect here for years to come. Others urge the right to ex- act the pound of flesh. Their logic is based on the theory that the boom times buyers were gambling and would have taken a profit, had it materialized, and therefore are in duty bound to take loss when that has come
 Hits At Pacific Coast.
 The wholesale foreclosure pro- ceeding further is justified in the opinions of the realty fraternity by the general association that whispering campaign" carried on in the north last December and Jan- uary, caused hundreds of thousands of note givers and deferred pay ment buyers almost simultaneously to withhold further installments.
 The situation brought about sudden deflation in property values and ruin to an army of sincere and earnest property developers. The identity of the conspirators who executed such a tremendous cam paign against Florida is rather vague, but it is generally hinted that if one went to the Pacific coast he would not have a great deal of trou- ble pumping into those who en- gineered it.
 Not only in land titles Is the un- process going on but also in high finance circles, where much distrust has developed in re- cent months.

TWO M. 1. I. MEN
 ARE EXPELLED
Drastic Action Follows Recent
 Rioting

Cambridge, Mass. Dec. 1.-Two students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been expelled, two suspended for a year. and 13 others disciplined as a result of dis orders in connection with the cele- brat1on of field day at the institute on November 4. The men expelled were John L. Dodson of New York and William E. King of Boston.
 In making public last night the report of faculty committee which investigated the disorders and pre- scribed the penalties, President Samuel w. Stratton expressed "deep personal regret for any acts which caused damage or inconvenience to the public and brought discredit upon the name of Technology" In letter to the Associated Press, President Stratton said:
 While I am confident that the whole affair grew out of youthful enthusiasm, and not from any will full desire to cause damage or in- convenience, nevertheless we who have the good name of the institute at heart wish to make it clear that destruction of property or inter- ference with the rights of others will not be tolerated in any degree.
 Such an affair as the recent dis turbance does not represent the true character of the student body at Technology. The students them selves in manly straightforward manner have made 1t clear that they do not condone such behavior and that they share with me sincere regret for all that occurred"
 Two students are suspended un- til the beginning of the next aca- demic year when they will return on probation.
 Eight are placed on probation, | and letters of censure will be sent | to them and to their parents.
 Four are placed on probation. A letter of censure has been sent to | one student, and to his parents.

EARTH FIREWORKS FELT HOURLY Some Where There Is An Earth
 quake Recorded

Washington. Dec. IT R - The earth is not shaking any more than 1t used to, but people are noticing fl more.
 This is the answer of Director Tondorf. of the Georgetown Uniyer- slty Observatory, to the flood of in- quiries reaching him as to whether earthquakes are increasing in num- Der and frequency.
 Tremors Reported More Fully
 Because of the precision of instru- ments which record tremors, the public is informed constantly through their newspapers of dis turbances of the earth's crust in all parts of the globe. The lay belief that the shocks are becoming close together is result of this publicity.
 The layman, unofficially inter- ested in the restlessness of the earth's crust. should know the truth" says Dr. Tapdort. "The prob- lem of computing e4Shauake fre- quency was first scientifically under taken by Count de Mnntessus de Ballore, one-time director of the Seismologlcal Observatory of the Government of Chilli. In 1900, after a close analysis of the then available earthquake records, 131,292 in num- Der. he placed the annual average at 3,830, equivalent to an earth shock every two hours and twenty seven minutes.
 Violent Every Three Days
 Four years afterward. Dr.. August Sieberg, of the University of Jena, questioned the estimate as too low. A recalculation made by him in 1923 lifted the annual average fre- quency to 5000, or about one every hour. Five thousand of these quakes he indicated as being felt sensibly on some part of the earth's surface in varying intensities, Violent quakes, classified by others world occur at intervals of every three and one-half days, either on the continents or on the oceans bot tom. Those on land, however, av- craze every fifth day.
 California, the least immune of all United States territory, Is visited by shock on an average of S1 times annually. The liability of one of these shocks being heavy is about of one per cent"

FL0R|DA'S LAND
 TITLES MUDDLED
Courts SWamped With ''Un-
 scrambling" Suits

Miami, Fla, Dec. 17-Unscram- bling the tangled financial and property title mess that developed in the Binder" period a year ago, in the refinancing and bonding per- lod few months later and in the deferred payment default period of the last ten months now is occupy- ' ing practically the whole time of the courts and realty tribunals in Florida.
 Solid pages of Service by -publi- A cation" summonses in foreclosure proceedings are appearing in daily and weekly newspapers, in spite of the fact that general policy had been adopted by the more substan- tial development concerns to extend time on deferred payments for lands for a year or two at least.
 Real Estate Tanglcs.
 Most of the actions now being in- sstituted are not exactly what they appear to be on the face of the title, attorneys say. Compliments in great majority of cases appear as the minor firms And corporations which sprang into being at the height of the boom and sprang out when the boom subsided. They left commitments to pay for tracts of land used for subdivision on one hand and deferred payments con- tracts of buyers on the other. Now the original owners of the tracts are trying to clear up titles to t'.eir property.
 Suits are started against the buy CTS to foreclose because of defaulted payments in the name of the con- cern which sold the lots. It may be years before property titles are strengthened out if the present pro- cedure Is followed, as the foreclo- sure actions in Dade county alone are said to be 15,000 to 10000. though no accurate figures are avail able at present from the court rec ords.
 Legislature May Act.
 It Is likely that the next legisla- ture will be asked to pass a statute under which it will be possible to clear property titles by affidavit and notice. The exact method has not been worked out as yet, but experts are engaged in framing a simple way to avoid the growing avalanche of court proceedings.
 The service-by-p publication phase of the foreclosure will, in the opin- ion of Florida lawyers. work no great hardship, for they hold prac- tically all those suits are against buyers who purchased proprety with a down payment as a gamble and 1 who believed to some extent at least | the salesman who promised to re- sell the property within ninety days at a profit When at the end of | ninety days the property was not resold the buyer would merely flor get 1t" and take his loss. the Flori- dans assume.
 Suit At Law Necessary.
 The buyer being out of the pic ture, however, does not affect the validity of the Nomadic cloud on the property title and to rem ove it suit at law Is necessary. Most one-pay- mera buyers will never know or
