Raskob is chairman, took steps yesterday to correct a wrong impression concerning the Defense Council's responsibility in the matter of individuals and families temporarily need of financial assistance on account of sickness or deaths during the influenza epidemic. In the whole matter of caring for emergency conditions due to the influenza epidemic, the State Council of Defense is merely meeting a situation which is especially disastrous in time of war, and only in such degree and on such matters as the proper Health agencies are not able or not ready to assume responsibility. The Civilian Relief Department of the Delaware Red Cross, of which Miss Madeline Draper is chairman, has already taken up the matter of destitute or suffering families and orphans.

The Civilian Relief is particularly fitted to do this work, and practical emergency relief is being given in all cases where established. The work began days ago with a survey "several of all familles where the father had died. Out of twenty homes visited yesterday, only two were in need of immediate assistance--providing necessary food, fuel, medicine and other things. The remaining eighteen families, had been able to take care of their problems, either alone or with the aid of friends. The Civilian Relief Committee of the Red Cross is notifying the Comforts Committee, wherever special food has to be provided for sick people, and the latter committee is meeting the demand.

The Civilian Relief the is not work encroaching in any way upon organizations, Immediate aid is given in every case where it is needed, but if children are to be cared for, they are referred to the proper child agencies. Legal problems are referred to their proper agencies, and all other matters handled in the same way. The Civilian Relief Department of the Red Cross can be reached by calling D.

913 Delaware avenue. THIS MORTGAGE FOUND INVALID Chancellor Curtis has filed in Court of Chancery an opinion of general interest in the case of Charles W. Jefferson against John C. Stuckert and James, I. Padley, in which it is held that a chattel mortgage executed by James I.

Padley to John G. Stuckert is invalid as against execution creditors of Padley. April 1, 1916, Padley executed and delivered to John C. Stuckert a chattel mortgage covering a growing wheat crop, and on June 1, 1916, a second tel mortgage was executed and delivered by Padley to Stuckert, which covered a growing corn crop, both of which mortgages were duly recorded in New Castle county. In August, 1916, the wheat crop was delivered by Padley to Stuckert and sold and the proceeds applied to the payment of the first tioned chattel mortgage.

Charles W. Jefferson, a judgment creditor of Padley and the complainant in the suit in the Court of Chancery, issued an execution on his judgment the corn Jefferson and and the sheriff levied, upon and sold Stuckert made demand upon the sheriff for payment out of the proceeds of the sale. The sheriff thereupon paid the proceeds of sale into the Superior Court of New Castle county, and by leave of the court, Hugh M. Morris and Sylvester D. Townsend, filed a bill in the Court of Chancery to have declared invalid the chattel mortgage dated June 1, 1916, Walter J.

Willis appearing as solicitor for both Stuckert and Padley. The condition of the mortgage of June 1, 1916, stated the amount thereof as "now due and from the mortgagor to the mortgagee, and the affidavit attached to the mortgage stated "that the above mortgage was made for the bona fide purpose of securing a debt and was not made cover the property of the mortgagor or to protect it from his creditors, or to hinder delay' them in the collection of their debts." At the hearing of the cause before the chancellor testimony of witnesses showed that the mortgage was given not only for the purpose of securing a debt then "due and owing" the mortgagee from the mortgagor, but also given to secure future advances of money by the mortgagee to the mortgagor. The question raised in this case, for the first time in the State, so far as reported cases show, whether a mortgage of personal property which purports to secure only a debt due and owing, but which was also given to secure advances to made to the mortgagor by the mortgagee, is valid as against an execution creditor of the mortgagor, a levy on the moragaged property have been made after the recording of the mortgage, though the judgment debt existed before the chattel mortgage was made. The chancellor held that the chattel mortgage statute of Delaware was intended to afford a new convenience in financial transactions, and to give protection to persons other than the parties thereto against deception and possible fraud, by requiring an affidavit as to the real transaction, and that a mortgage given in fact to secure a debt due and future advances, but which states it is for a debt due and owing must be held invalid as against an execution creditor of the mortgagor.
