properties, while It had q cumulative
rental income from owned properties
up to April Of $15,116,09s. The
corporation collected 99.7 per cent of
rents due in March and only 3.3 per
cent Of tenants were delinquent more
than one month. Only 14.3 per cent
Of its properties available to yield In
come were vacant.
Some Losses Seen in 1888.
I'm 1885, the H. o. L. c. recaptured
more than 100 per cent Of the book
value Of its properties and in 1887
recaptured 90 per cent" said Col. Lee.
Present indications are that sales
for 1898. when the year Is completed,
will reflect some losses.
Some Of our sales are on q cash
basis, but the great majority are on q
deferred payment plan, with liberal
terms. The amount Of down payment
depends largely on the credit Of the
prospect.
There will be no forced sales by this
corporation. It would be short
sighted policy to stimulate new de-
preston in real estate values by such
tactics. There will be no dumping,
no sale or rental for less than fair
value, and properties will not be
offered in greater numbers than the
market can absorb.
''This corporation was created as an
emergency agency and will gradually
liquidate its loans and holdings. 1t
was created because . drastic remedy
was needed that was too great for
private agencies. The operations OF
the corporation benefited the whole
financial structure Since almost every
borrower was facing foreclosure. 1t
was inevitable that the corporation
would be forced to take over some
properties. but such action has been
taken only as last resort.
I'VE now face the task Of disposing
of those properties. But it will be
carried out on the most ethical pro-
cedure which we can evolve"

DARK COLORS SERVE
!. TO COOL OFF, ROOMS
Actual Temperature Not Really
Affected, but Comfort Is
Impaired.

, When the weather is hot there is
very little that can be done by the
interior decorator to make it any
cooler, but wise choice of wall finish
will at least make a room look cooler.
Pattern and texture, as we'll as
color, influence the amount of light
and the seeming degree of warmth
or coldneSs in room, according to
decorating authorities. The darker
colors are said to obsorb more light
and make a room seem cooler and
more restful.
J. This effect may be obtained by
using dark greens, blues, tans, browns
and deep red. wallpapers with glossy
finishes, such as the vanished papers
used in bathrooms and kitchens, en-
phasize the cool" qualities in room.
Light colors reflect more light and
are used when the decorator wants
to give warmth to room.

Small kitchens and breakfast al

OF JACK KEARNS

New York turned a cold shoulder
today toward the Illinois Boxing
Commissions suspensions of Jack
Kearns, fighters Jimmy Adamick
and Jack Trammell, and others
associated with the recent bout
between the heavyweight contend
ers in the Windy City.
After being floored by Tram
nell the Detroit boy regained his
feet and knocked out his opponent
by what was termed an invisible
punch.
In response to the Illinois Com
missions request that New York
concur in the suspensions, Gen,
John Phelan, head Of the Empire
State Commission, said:
I'VE have no working agree
ment with the Chicago commits
sion and will not recognize its
suspensions.
The New York and Illinois
bodies severed relations last
June when the latter group
sanctioned the heavyweight title
bout between Joe Louis and Jim
Braddock despite protests voiced
by the local commission.

was extremely lucky in gaining

attempt by Belloise to match
Joey's methods met with the dis
approval of Referee Charley Rey-

We spoke to several handlers
and seconds after the bout and
they were unanimous in agreeing
that on boxing skill and cleaner
punching, Belloise should have
won. Mike himself took his de-
feat gracefully and refused to be-
little Archibald'S victory. The
only statement Belloise made was
that Archibald is the dirtiest
fighter I've ever met. He was
stepping on my toes every time
he threw a punch and when ]
tried to get back at him the
