Bank To Take Title

Monday Is Law Day for Redemption of Property;
 Bank Hold Foreclosure Judgment

bank secured a foreclosure judg. ment in the amount of $22,839 ,on Dec 9th, against the property and that the first Monday in March was fixed as the law day. &
 MT Carter said the property was appraised for $32,O00. He pointed out, however, that the property does not earn enough to take care of it's carrying charges, falling shore about $2O monthly.
 The property formerly housed the Kazemekas & Co bank. It was taken over for operation by the Waterbury National bank when the latter assumed the receivership of the bank. The income was not enough to meet the carrying charges so a foreclosure judgment was granted the Waterbury Saw ings bank by Judge Newell Jen- nings in December. Mir Carter said today he will make out the neces- sary deeds which give title to the property to the Waterbury Savings bank.

 His Firm Did

Toledo. O., Mar. 2-(UP)-Em- phatic denial of "dickering' for air mail contracts was voiced here to- day by chr Tess, local attorney and son of Senator Simeon D. Fess.
 He admitted however, that the law firm of Doyle 6 Lewis, of which he is a member, was en- gagged as Ohio counsel by National Air Transport in Ohio in 1880, after the company had obtained its mail contract.
 Tess was one of three scions of families we'll known in Washing ton officialdom" who participated in the negotiation of air mail con- tracts, it was alleged during the probe at Washington Thursday.
 "I never had anything to do with the letting of airmail contracts to National Air Transport" Fess said.
 "At the request of Col. Paul Henderson, N. A. T's vice-president. friend of some years standing, I attended conference of airmail contractors at the postoffice depart ment in Washington, some time during the early part of 1881.
 About all recall about the con- ference is that the then postmas- ter general forced N. A. T. as well as the other operators to accept a material, reduction in rates, much to our. disappointment at the time,"

Valdivia, Chile, March 2-(U.P) A strong earthquake shook southern Chile last night and heavy casualties were feared but restoration of communications to- day brought news there had been no fatalities and relatively small damage. So strong were the shocks here that it was almost impossible to stand. Earthquake proof build ings and wooden houses minimized the damage. Some damage was re- ported at Lonoche and Gorbea. Communication to the south was broken. It was restored early to- day, however, and fears of loss of life diminished.

ALASKA'S DEVELOPMENT

In his, annual report for the fsce! year ended
June 81, 1888, Governor Troy says that wherever
possible, Alaska should govern herself" 1t is true
that more money is appropriated by the Federal
government for Alaska than was ever allotted to
any of the other Territories. STILL the development
OF Alaska proceeds suggishly. The reason, as ex-
planned by Governor Troy, is that under conserva-
ton policies timber lands, coal lands, oil lands
water power and other natural resources were
withdrawn from private appropriation to remain
the property of the Federal government"
Alaska's greatest growth occurred when Federal
grants inconsiderable. Aat that time residents
of the Territory could utilize the natural resources
as the pioneers of the Constinental United States
did in the frontier period Yet when Alaska had
few permanent settlements, its resources were ex-
plotted by prospectors and SPECTATORS and meas
ures to conserve them became imperative. Assun,-
ing that the conservation policies will be continued
indefinitely, Governor Troy declares that it is "he
plain duty of the Federal government to take the
place of pot ental taxpayers ard contribute largely
for the development of resources owned by itself"
The mining of gold is still one of the leading in
dustries of Alaska. Lode mines yielded $4,6S7,OOO
in 1892 and placers $5,522,OO0. From 1880 to
1882 production of gold amounted to $409,0 ,000
Over this period the yields of copper were S214,
$50, 900, and silver 2,O63,OOO The value of the
copper output was $55OOOO in 1882. Silver is re-
latively a by product of ore in which gold cop

PLENTY OF SMOKE

Of Mr.. Hoovers cabinet officers three, as We
remarked the other day, have been charged with
or suspected of unbecoming behavior. His first
secretary of labor, Puddler Jim Davis was acquit-
ted of violating the federal lottery laws in con-
junction with other Moose officials who were
found guilty His last laborite, the late William
N Doak, was discovered to have sent his nephew
to Europe at governments expense on" very con-
fdential mission" otherwise known as a junket.
His postmaster general is even at this writing
busily engaged in defending himself on the score
of having let airmail contracts irregularly.
Within the last day or two other circumstances
centering around two more of the Hoover cabinet
have been related. Former Secretary of the Navy
Charles Francis Adams is said to have owned stock
in an aircraft company with which the navy de.
partment had done much business. The date on
which the stock was purchased has not been given,
nor should it be left unreported that Mr.. Adams
denies unequivocally having owned it or stock
in other aircraft companies Either he did OF he
didn't; the record will show.
Yesterday it was testified by the former P. M. G..
Brown that Andrew Mellon, longtime secretary Of
the treasury, had in 1880 written to him in an eff
fort to obtain a governmental contract for the
Pittsburgh Aviation Industries, in which the Mel
lon family was interested Thus Mr.. Mellon stands
accused of having attempted to use his public in
fuenees to benefit his private affairs.
1t should not be forgotten that not one of tire
five Hoover cabinet officers has yet been convicted
| of wrongdoing that Davis was acquitted by the
court. Even So granting that the house is not on
fire, the pouring of smoke from it is not precisely

BRITONS TOLD
THEIR SAFETY
JUST ILLUSION
Brig. Gen. Groves Paints
A Gloomy Picture Ut
Helplessness
By LEE WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Onlted TTSes Staii ~,
LONDON, Feb. &c. (UP)-The
national safety of Great Britain
which most Britons take for
granted, is just an illusion, as
serts an eminent British general.
A gloomy picture of Britain's
helplessness in the face of an
serial attack is painted by Brig.
Gen. j. R. C. Groves, c. B., c.
M. G., D. S. o., in his newly
published book, Behind the
Smoke Screen"
OMNIBUS SURVEY
characterized as the most
ominous and disturbing survey OF
Britain's international posi- t o n
ever published, the book asserts,
1--WE can neither fulfill our pledg-
es, nor protect ourselves against
a first class air power within
range of this country, for we
should be liable to knockout
blow from the skies"
Britain's decline from first to
sixth place in aerial strength
among the nations since the war
is regarded by the general with
grave forebodings.
NAVY HELPLESS
He emphatically declares that
the navy cannot protect Britain
from devastation by aerial bonn
bardment. The long range bomb
er, which now is abundantly
available from civilian as well as
military sources, is an entirely
new strategic weapon, he points
out.
Merchant ships, even if con-
veyed by fleets across the ocean,
would almost certainly be bomb
ed and sunk when they reached
the waters surrounding the Bri-
fish Isles, declares Gen. Groves.
If the navy of any continental
state had been doubled, or trebl-
edsince the war, there would have
been widespread alarm. Yet, the
witer says, one European air
force has increased it's power
since the last war 3,000-fold.

CANDIDATES MUST BE DRY

The time has arrived when Cleveland county
must give attention to the selection of senator
and representative in the next General Assembly.
These are rather thankless honors that require
sacrifice in time, money and talent on the part of
the men elected. Each positions pays only $500
for the twoyear term and for the past two sessions
the stay in Raleigh has gone far beyond the sixty
day period.
However, a county with the wealth, population
and fine citizenship such as Cleveland has, should
furnish men who are acquainted with local, state
and national problems can interpret the will of the
majority and will stand for the common good rath-
er than for the interests of few
We believe the county will insist that these two
men be favorable to the dry cause. In the election
ON the repeal of the 18th Amendment Cleveland
as well as the state as whole, registered its SEN
timent against the repeal in unmistakable voice
So any candidate who hopes to be successful
must be standing on dry plank, unwilling to go
to Raleigh and see the prohibition laws upset by
that body.-Cleveland Star.

BRITISH SHIPYARDS
HIT BY DEPRESSION

LONDON, Feb. 25. (UP)-
The British shipping industry has
been one of the hardest hit by
the depression, yet at the end of
1888 it was building nearly half
the worlds tonnage.
In line with increases in 9TH
er industries, ship building in
Great Britain and Ireland, at the
end of the December quarter
showed an increase of, Pitts
lions in the work in hand. The
total of 1854 tons was 1867
044 tons greater than the ton
mage being built at the end of
December, 1882.
This tonnage, according to sta
tistics issued by Lloyd's Register
Eof Shipping, represents 43.S per
cent of total world construction.
The next five countries were: ia
pan, 106,760 tons; France, co.
656 tons; Sweden, 64,640 tons;
Holland, 40,640, and Spain, 35,-
724 tons, -
w h lie British ship-building
staged minor boom, tonnage
under construction abroad de-
clined to the lowest foreign total
since June, 1909. In December
it was 435,736 tons, a drop of
about $4,000 tons compared with
September.
Much of the Improvement in
the British position was due to
the governments promise to re-
sumo construction of. the giant
Cunard liner, 534. intended for
the North Atlantic service. Work
was suspended on it in 1892 for
lack of funds.
