One picture in a lifetime
s'What Price Glory"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-09-10

Official land records in the District
of Columbia show that deeds of trust
securing as first mortgages a huge
sum of more than SAT 100000 have
been recorded here during the past
four months, exclusive Of several
large bond issues, James p. Schick.
executive secretary of the Washing
ton Real Estate Board, reported today
in making public the results of COM
prehensive survey of the mortgage
loan business in Washington.
OF this total figure $90,300,000 rep
resents loans made from general
sources, including loan trust COM
panies and individuals. and the re-.
mainder from building associations
and life insurance companies.
Very Few Foreclosures.
While the investment of this great
sum is seen as definite indication nf
the value and stability of Washington
real estate, Mr.. Schick states in addi-
ton that out of a total of 3,67S first
mortgages recorded here during the
four months there were but 81 fore
closures, or about IL per cent.
In addition to the $47,600,000 Sc
May to September. second and third
deeds of trust have been filed in the
District OF Columbia securing loans
amounting to approximately 3d..
100000. The total mortgage transac-
tons during this period, according to
the survey, thus involved the securing
on Washington real estate of a sum
in excess of SCI 100000.
All Not Due to Defaults.
''The investor, of course, is always
anxious concerning the repayment of
the loan, and it is therefore interest
ing to consider the percentage of
foreclosures which indicate the like
lihood Of the repayment of the money
which has been borrowed without
having to resort to any legal process"
Mr.. Schick states. 1.-The number of
instruments which have been record
ed from May !. 1927, to August 81,
1927. is as follows: First deeds of
trust, or trusts which are usually
referred to as first mortgages. were
recorded to a number of 3,67S, and
during the same period of time the
foreclosures under first deeds Of
trust totaled 81, or about liz per
cent.
IAN investigation Of these fore
closures indicates that they were not
all the result of default in the pay
ment Of the notes secured. In some
instances the foreclosures were made

and therefore would not indicate a
default in the payment of the note or
interest secured by the first deed of
trust. In other instances where
title to the property had become in
volved since the placing of the first
deed of trust on the record fore
closures were resorted to to clear
these defects in title. 1t would seem
that a percentage of only ~ per
cent is a very small percentage of
foreclosures under first deeds of
trusts
Defaults Not Always WillfuI.
During this same period second
and third lists were recorded to the
number o. 1889, and during that
period the foreclosures secured in
this class numbered 144. or about 4
per cent. Considering the large mum.
Der of small homes which have been
conveyed in years past on small cash
payments and by persons in very
moderate circumstances, this per.
centage is regarded as small. De.
faults in payment of notes secured
by mortgages do not always occur
willfully.
taking into consideration the fart
fact that during this short period
over 1000 deeds of trusts have been
recorded and only 200 foreclosures
which is only about per cent on
all classes of securities, it would
seem that the moral risk behind real
estate mortgage securities in the Dis.
trlct of Columbia is exceedingly high. !"

MILLS DESCRIBES
"GO-EASY ORDER
Frequently Warned From
Capital, Says Ex-Dry Chief.
Calls Agents SycophantS.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 10.-Three-
fourths of the $500 Federal prohibi.
ton agents in the United States are
ward heelers and sycophants recon-
mended by politicians. in the opinion
of Chester P. Mills. former Federal
administrators of the second Federal
district.
Writing in the September II issue
Of Golfers Weekly, Mills asserts that
he was indicted into the service on the
assurance that politics would play no
part in enforcement, but that he was
bounded by Government and boot
leggers' spies. harassed by politicians
and so frequently warned from Wash.
ington to "go easy" with the politi.
clans that he soon found himself ham
strung and finally was driven out of
Office by the politics that were to play
no part in his work.
Giving his version of his dismissal
and his views of the status of en-
forcement, Mills says:
Prohibition, as at present opera
tive, is a party spoils system. Three
quarters of the $500 dry agents are
ward heelers and sycophants, named
by the politicians, and the politicians,
whether professionally wet or profess
sonally dry. want prohibition because
they regard prohibition as they re-
gard postmasterShips-a reservoir of
jobs for henchmen and of favorS for
friends"
Mills says that in many cases politi-
cal influence prevented prosecution of
cases in which the evidence was sound
and that when he went to Washington
to dscusis matters he was told lets
talk patronage" He learned, he
writes, that the entire service is honey
combed with spies and counter spies
and that to rub the fur of the poll
ticians the wrong way was to risk
dismissal.

DENIES
JURISDICTION
IN POWER Case

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 QP)-The ap-
peal of the Southern California Edison
company to set aside the decision Of
the California courts enjoining it
from diverting into storage reservoirs
for power purposes the waters OF the
San Joaquin river collapsed today in
the supreme court.
Counsel for the company attacked
the injunction, claiming the company
acts as an agency of the government,
unler licenses granted by the federal
water power commission, and assert
ing that should the decision of the
California court stand, the federal
government would be unable to carry
out the federal water power act in
many of its substantial features.
Edward F. Treadwell, opened the
argument for the company but en-
countered constant flow of questions
from members of the court who eX-
pressed doubt whether any questions
were presented which the court had
the right to review.

He consumed all the time allotted
his side for argument in trying TO
establish that federal questions were
presented which, brought the case with
in the jurisdiction of the court.
AT the conclusion of his argument
the court took a recess for luncheon
and upon returning notified riparian
owners along the river, who had won
in the states court, that it would not
be necessary for their counsel to reply,
indicating, under it's practice, that it
had concluded no federal question was
presented upon which it should pass
and that the case must be dismissed

MAYS LANDING, N. j., Oct. 6 R-
In solitary confinement at the county
jail Willis Beach, Hammonton poultry
man and alleged admirer of Mrs,
Margaret Lilliendahl, was being de-
tanned tonight while the Atlantic coun-
" grand jury was celebrating on
evidence presented to it today con-
corning the mysterious Staying of DR..
A. William Lilliendahl near Harmon
ton, N. j., three weeks ago today.
The slain physicians widow sat in
the witness room of the jury quarters
while the jury deliberated.
Mrs. Lilliendahl came from her
South Vineland home where she had
been living since being released under
a $4,000 bond, as a material witness
in the case. Beach came from nobody
knows where early today, after having
been missing" for nine days He was
at liberty under a $1,000 bond also as
material witness when he disappear
ed and when he surrendered today he
was placed in jail on charge of
aiding and abetting the murder
Beach today faced three men-Wil-
liam Driver, of Hamilton Square;
James A. Grant, of SlackWood, N. j.,
and Paul Eldridge of Morrisville, Pa
who had told police they had seen al
car such as Beach owned leave the
lane in which the aged physicians
body was found. Driver said that he
told the grand jury later in the day
that, while Beach resembled the man
driving the couple he saw, he was I'M
able % make a positive Identification.
Mrs. LiIfiendahl, who tdId pd!ice
THAI two negroes held up her and her
husband and shot the doctor after rob-
bings them both, arrived in police
car. Efforts to get her to the witness
room without being seen were vain
and she faced score of cameras
mildly. She was dressed in black, APP
peared perfectly calm, and joked and
talked with persons in the witness
room all during the afternoon.
Thirteen witnesses had been exam
ined when Captain Frank Harold of
the Atlantic county police announced
that the jury had finished for the
day. A half hour later it was learned
that the jury had decided to finish
the case and make a presentment to
Judge William Smathers tomorrow
