MORTGAGED HOMES
.ND PROGRESS j
Mortgage loan conrlltlons have
been checked up by the American '
Pond Mortgage company, leading 1
to the surprising iir?overy that
thre are more home plns'erM
with mortjagea in certain states. In
cluding Connecticut, than thore are
debt-free homea. The fljurea denote i
1 per eent of the homea owned In i
Cennec.tieut are mortgaged, being j
topped by only one other atate. New 1
Jeriey, whleh bas tl per cent. Other .
fgurea are: New York, SJ per cent: i
Maasachueetta, JT per cent; Bhode I
laland II per cent, and North Da- '
frota, BJ per cent, j
j The atatUtica compiled by the
bending company refer only to
homaa eeeupted by ' their owners. I
They ahew that the average of mort- 1
gaged homea throughout the entire i
country totala 42 per cent, eo that
mere than half the home through- i
cut the country are free of debt, j
The fact that the higher ratio of j
mortgaged homes are located In the
east doea not indicate a lack of I
prosperity or extravagance in home
building. Theae atatcs are regarded
as the richest in the Union. W. J. J
Moore, president of the company j
tvhich made the survey, is undoubt
edly right In assuming that the
figures indicate the progressive j
spirit of the residents of these states, j
To build homes li the manifestation
of progress among citizens, and the ;
more, we have of such progress the
belfr we like it. If. before homes
were built, peopl' re to wail until
they could "pay .-ii." very few
homes would be constructed; but
that is exactly what they do in some
sections of the country, due to a
species of false pride about mort-
gages. i
.Mr. Moore, in explaining this pe
culiar sectional difference, added
th following observation to the
statistical report cf his company:
"In the south it was once
considered more or less of a
blot on the family record to
have a mortgage on the home
and this attitude is mirrored in
the ratios for that section.
Florida and Kentucky for in
it.ance, have on:y 22 per cent
ef their homes mortgaged, while
for Alabama the figure is SI
per cent; in New M-xieo it r
nly 17 per cent, which atate
eema to have the mallcst pro
portionate number of en
eumbered homes."
A large number of new homes
and apartments have neon con
tructed in New Bn'ain the past
year, many more are under con
struction and new building permi's
r being secured constantly. It is
Mfe to conclude that most rf th.
buildings are "going up" with bor
rowed money, secured by mor;
gages. What Is better, to have no
mortgages and no building, or to
htvt buildings and mortgage? Ti-.e
latter are paid c.'f in periods rang
ing from 15 to i': years ar.l are
thent debt free; meanwhile tl-ey
have contributed th'ir share to the
growth of the city and every such
mortgaged building adis to the
value of other prop' rty. In fact,
so far as adding to th- 8iu'- of
proper'y is cone me d, a mortgaged
building i.s just as ffeetive as cm'
which is not inor'zaged.

AT LAST A TEim TE TO
THE NEW HAVEN
Tt ought to be very satisfying to
the management of the N-w Haven
railroad to be held up as a model of
efficiency. That is w-bat the N'-w-Tork
World implicates wh'n it com
pares how the New Haven got out
frem under with how the St. Paul
railroad management performed
during somewhat similar cirCtim
rances. The St. Pal!" bad not la. n .inn

CITY OF M.W HAVI..N
AMI I.I (ilSl.M I Ki:
The New Haven Journal -Courier
is greatly incensed over the fact
that llepreseniatii e John I.jnch of
Orange ha gone to Maine on a fish
ing trip after haung fucjos? fully l'-d
the fight to pass the Bridgeport
"rippt-r bill" in the house, and after!
placing the bill to abolish the New i
Ha'en city school district at the '
bottom of the calendar, ao that it
will no! come up for actica until he j
returns. The J.-C. aays the pa- I
tienee of New Haven with the l egis
lature Is utterly exhausted. 1
"This challenge to the dignity of j

Hon should be made ta take tue
school bill from the foot of the
calendar and be definitely started
for a hearing in the near future
without regard to the fishing en
gagements of Mr. Lynch."
As Mr. Lynch l a piscatorial
Palmer, his patience evidently is
not exhausted as rcaniy as -nat oi
New Haven. Besides, he will argue
what business has New Haven to be
bothered about what the Legisla
ture wants to do to it. New Haven j
ought to be prepared to accept what
it gets and not be so churlish over
it. To this Legislature every town ,
is but a dot on the map to be
mangled in the legislative washing
machine. j
New Haven need expect little from
the Legislature; its position there is
like an uninvited guest, st a June I
wedding. j
DEFENSE DAT AM)
OTHER HOLIDAYS
.Defense day last year was partly
In honor of General Pershing's re
tirement as head of the American
military establishment. I' will be
remembered that Secretary Weeks
of the war department went ahead
wl'h the plans without consulting;
Congress or the President. The lat
ter was busy with matters more or i
less having to do with politics, it 1
being a campaign year, and there ,
was little to ston the efforts of Sec- i
retary Weeks to provide
new and !
different sort of holiday.
This year the situa'ion Is differ
ent. President Cooiidg. command
er in chief of the army and navy,
is no" Inclined to g've his sanction
to any such plans, particularly the
proposal of the g- n'ral staff to cele
brate Defense day on Anuie'iee dav.
The President says the permanent"
of such a celebration, or muster roll,
should first be decided by Corg.-ev.
evidently thinktr.g 'if T""'

The state of trade is Of para

ticularly to business men who arc
inclined to watch the indices with j
eagle eyrs. Here is what we I'm.l :
Exports in April were the highest j
for that month during live years, j
The total was $4i.i'.eee.o''n. Imports
also were high JlMV'.'V'Ot'. j
Bank clearings were at a new ;
high record.
Freight ears loadings were b'tteri
than normal.
Cotton consumption showd 557,-
(i0 bales, the highest for any month
since 19IT with the exception of
three months in 1!C'3. Yet there
were repor's of curtailments in the
cotton mills and reports

business in the textile industry
for
several months.
Building permi's were at the
highest figure ovr known, except

In spite of all tins evident pros
perity many industries are below

MM AFFECTED IN
More Than 100 "Freed" in
R. I., Now Married Abroad
Providence. R. I., May 19. (AP)
Effects that will b' felt by people
now living far from the boundaries
of the United States will result from
disclosures of the operation of the
Rhode Island divorce mill when the
eases against Leonard W. Horton
and Francis P. Dougherty are
brought to trial in about two weeks,
Attorney General Charles P. Sisson
promises.
Many Living Abroad
The attorney general specifically
cites the rase of a New York school
teacher wh secured a divorce here
through two fake witnesses and gave I
false testimony herself. She Is now
remarried and is living in France.
Many of the lf0 couples that the
attorney general says were Illegally
separated through the machinations
of Horton and Dougherty are now
remarried or living abroad or both.
The specially reconvened March
grand jury returned 26 indictments
yesterday against. Horton and
Dougherty for conducting their di
vorce mil! In Rhode Island courts
with headeiuarters at. the Hotel Im
perial. New York city. Horton Is
said by the attorney general to have
boasted that he was getting 12.000
for every divorce he fraudulently
secured for non residents of the
state. Horton is being held in $50,.
fieri bail and Dougherty in M0."0.
Both have been committed In lieu
of bond.
Sevrct Indictments
Seven Rcor't indictments have
been found against non-residents of
Rhode Island said to be as deeply
implicated in the conspiracy as the
two attorneys. Attorney General
Sisson has intimated that the de
fendants in thcae cases are New
Yorkers, but asserts there is not a

E. Dnrfce Arbuckle, former wife of

More Sensations Likely
Mr. Sisson declared that further
nsationnl developments may be ex-
peeled In the divorce mill proceed
ings. Operations of other attorneys
besides Horton and Dougherty are
being closely scrutinized. The ulti
mate result may be a complete revo
lution in the method of granting di
vorces in Rhode Island.

Washington, May 19. Herbert
Quick, the writer and ex-member
of the Federal Farm Loan board,
who died recently, was even more
interesting face to face than In his
extremely Interesting books. I had
an office with him for awhile dur
ing hie early days as a lawyer In
Iowa, was hie secretary as mayor
of Sioux City, and he took dinner
at my house, here In Washington,
not many days before hla death.
He wag Just starting to write hie
memoirs. Indeed, he came Into the
capital, from his home at Herkeley
Hprlnga, W, Ve to talk over with
ms some of hie adventures In which
I myself had a share.
Quick had known no end of cele
brities and eccentricities, had hod
a hand in a- lot of Important and
unusual happenings and told his ex
periences In the queerest way. He
looked at them from an angle all
his own not a bit like any other
angle.

At the proper age for it, lie had
had Infantile paralysis which left
him, not crippled, but with a no
ticeable peculiarity of gait. Infantile
paralysis, he contended, was a very
valuable thing to have had It
greatly strengthened and improved
the intellect, provided the patient
lived.
He didn't say that nobody became
great who hadn't had it, but he did
Insist that practically everybody
who did have It became great. Or
possibly only the potentially great
were subject to It. Ho wasn't sure
have" run against snags. Municipal
parks, automobile show rooms, play,
grounds and vacant lots have been
given as permanent legal domiciles
of petitioners.
It' was the newspaper disclosure
that the Rhode Island residences of
Mrs. Sanderson, Mrs. Arbuckle and
Mrs. Elsenbcrg did not meet this re
quirement that resulted in the va
cating of Mrs. Sanderson's decree,
the enforced withdrawal of Mrs. Ar
bleklc's plea after a preliminary de
cree had been granted, and the
striking of Mrs. Eisenberg's case
from the. calendar, with subsequent
grand Jury Investigation of perjury
charges, last year.

that faith were prepared by Lev.
Dr. Robert Johnston. The solemn

marine oorDS were designated to
