BLOOD AT A CHRISTENING.
Hungarian Festivities Result IN One Man
Dead, Two Dying and Five o hers
Badly Wounded

SCRANTON, N. j., Jan. S.-A Hun
garian christening at Maytield this
county, had the usual bloody ending
which attends the affairs, for as result
one man is dead and two are dying and
five others are badly carved. Strong
liquor flowed freely at the christening
and soon many of the men were mad with
drink. Seven of the participants in the
feast went to the house OF Lucetz Krutchas.
Krutchas soon had to resent an insult to
his wife and then the knives flashed out.
Mrs. Krutchas dashed out the light and
fed from the room. A fearful fight fol-
lowed in the dark. The drink maddened
men cut and stabbed each other and
rolled together upon the floor in deadly
grapple.
Finally constable and posse broke
into the house and when light was had
a CHASTITY picture was presented. The
furniture was battered and broken and
blood was everywhere and stretched on
the floor were eight apparently dead and
dying men, grooming and cursing. A
physician was hastily summoned. Krut-
chas was SO terribly cut that he died
in short while. The injuries of the
other men show the savage nature of the
fight.

inson of the same county have prepared q
bill to remove the legal obstacle without
sacrificing or jeopardizing the rights OF the
people. The bill provides that all rail-
roads operating in this State whose lines
of road are wholly constructed at an ele-
walton of 5000 feet or more above the level
of the sea shall only be required 10 main
tain and operate their roads or to run pas
senger or freight trains thereon between
May and October Is of each year.
The road Will be built by Mr.. Bliss,
president of the Tahoe and Carson City
Lumber Company, backed by merchants
of Grass Valley and Truckee. He has been
in the lumber business for many years.
but since the suspension OF so much work
on the Comstoek lode he has not been
able, under present conditions, to find a
very profitable market for his lumber.
The road will open up market for him
self and many others in various lines OF
business. 1t will run along the Truckee
River and will be quite scenic road and
very attractive to travellers.
The enterprise will increase the taxable
property in Nevada County and will be
the advance agent of prosperity for her
people. During the winter months snow
lies along the entire route to a depth OF
ten 10 fifteen feet, and it is therefore i'm
possible to travel or to transport merchan-
disc during that season.

years ago and was reelected last fail.
Lindley admitted his guilt. He was taken
before Justice Taft, charged with embez-
element and held under $4,000 bonds

Jury. He went to Jail.
Lindley was a livestock buyer and did
an extensive business. 1t IS said he lost

tried to recoup by dealing on the Chicago
Board of Trade, but lost still more. A
shortage in his accounts was found last
June, but the matter was Strengthened up.
He was an active member of the Baptist
church and quite active in securing the
enforcement of laws. His bondsmen,
twenty-four in number, are nearly all
farmers. Some of them will be left in
straitened circumstances when COM

Railroads for Tahoe.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. S.-The peo-
pie of Nevada County have for a long time
been anxious for railroad from Truckee
to Lake Tahoe for the accommodation of
tourists, whose numbers would be largely
increased if there were railroad facilities
between those points. Such a railroad
would be of great value to shippers along
the route. But there exists an obstacle in
the way in shape of the law prescribing
that all railroads operating in this State
must be operated continuously. Senator

BULLA PREPARES BILLS.
One Measure to Simplify the
Methods of Proving and Record
ing Realty Titles.


SACRAMENTO. CAL, Jan. 8-Two
years ago Los Angeles sent to the Assem-
bly, as one of its representatives man in
the prime of life, whose countenance was
ovsrspread with the pale cast of thought,
and who showed long before the close of
the session that he was one of the most,
if not the most industrious workers in
the Assem- bly,. He had all but a very
small fraction OF his bills prepared, so that
when the House had organized and the
Speaker announced that the next bust
ness in order was the Introduction of bills,
this unobtrusive little man handed up
batch of bills asked for by his constituents.
Between that time and the end of the
session he had not more than a half dozen
to present, SO that he was at liberty dur
ing the remainder of the life of The session
to devote all his time and energies to the
work of guiding his bills safely through
the shoals and quicksands. He put IN his
bills early and they were passed or re-
iected as eCrly as the case might be- be-
cause he was always on hand in fair
weather or foul, and the rolIcall never
showed that he was ever absent from his
seat
This little mar. who was so faithful to
his trust was R. n. Bulla, at present
Senator from Los Angeles. Senator Bulla
is very much interested in the Torrens
land transfer act, which failed of passage
at the last session of the Legislature. The
system originated in Australia and is in
successful operation there and in Ontario,
New Zealand and Manitoba. He will

make en- attempt at this session to have

make en- attempt at this session to have
the bill become law.
The bill proposes to simplify the method
of proving and recording the title to real
estate. Under the present system every
deed or other document that refers how
ever remotely to the transfer of real estate
has to be recorded. This involves the con-
slant searching of the title and the enor-
nous accum ulation of the documents per-
tanning to title. Under the Torrens system
when person is about to buy land, or
when he wishes to offer piece of land for
sale, he makes application to the Superior
Court in the same manner as an action to
quiet title is brought. That application
must be accompanied by the abstract and
notice must be given to every person men
toned in the abstract and to the owners
of property adjoining. Then the court
makes inquiry and ascertains the exact
condition of the title and renders decree.
A certified copy of this decree is taken to
the Recorder S Office, and the Recorder
thereupon issues a certificate of title. If
after the certificate has been issued, a
mechanics lien or a mortgage has been
filed, statement of that fact is entered
on the certificate. All transactions in
which that piece of real estate is concerned
are recorded on the certificate, and the
certificate is the only document which the
intending purchaser need examine.
AT the last session of the Legislature of
the State of Illinois an act was passed
similar to the one introduced in the As
sembly of this State, and which was de-
feated in the Senate. The Illinois act was
declared unconstitutional because that
act did not provide that the application
had to be made 10 the court, but it created
register, as under the Australian act,
which gave him judicial powers Chic
has also passed a similar act, modelled
largely upon the one which the California
people prepared. Opposition to the bill
comes from seaTchers OF records and law
yers, because they fear that the bill will
make their business slack; but Senator
Bulla does not think that this class of
people will be injured for the next fifty
years. The act does not make it obliga-
tory to bring the title of land into court.
1t is entirely optional.
A bill giving cities Jurisdiction over
parks wholly without their boundaries,
and over roads and streets leading thereto,
will be introduced in the Senate by Sena-
tor Bulla. The bill, while general in it's
nature, is intended to assist the city of
Los Angeles to take care of a magnificent
tract OF 5000 acres of land presented to that
city for park by G. ]. Griffith one of her
enterprising citizens. The Senator will
also introduce constitutional amend
ment giving to women the right of SUI
frage. The Senator is an ardent advocate
of the doctrine.

representatives of the earthenware, glass

F. w. Walker of Beaver Falls, Pa, the

R. w. Leslie of Philadelphia advocated
the retention OF the present duty on &C.

L. Arlington of Alton, ILL.,, asked on be-
half of the blowers of Illinois the restora-
ton OF the Mckinley rates on bottles.
E. A. Adard of Streator, ILL.,, o glass
blower, said that the American workmen
had been driven to the wall by the present
tariff law. Works had been closed, wages
reduced and the hours of work increased.
Under the Mckinley law the industry had
prospered and at the same time the cost
OF bottles was reduced Is per cent.
W. j. Smith OF Pittsburg spoke for the
workers in flint and lime glassware, the
most important branch of the glass indus
try, employing the greatest number of
laborers and having the largest capital.

Representative Taylor OF Ohio, who rep

milton by Congress of the difference in

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 8.-Ad-

miral had long conference with Secre-
tary Herbert and other naval officers to-
day, and as result his plans for drills
and maneuvers. of which the rigid mill
tary blockade of Charleston. S. c., is the
chief feature, were thoroughly approved,
and all necessary arrangements for carry
ing out the proposed operations will at
once be inaugurated.
The scheme involves the maintenance
OF strong blockading feet off Charest on
harbor and the assignment of one or
more fast vessels, including the Vesuvius,
to do duty as blockade-runners. Stores
and coal Will be massed at Port Royal as
base for the smaller blockading cruisers,
but the battle ships and perhaps the big
cruisers will have to take turns gong to
Hampton Roads for supplies, unless it
proves feasible to serve them on the high
seas. 1t is expected that the new cruiser
Brooklyn, which will be ready TO leave
Philadelphia tomorrow to get silver
service from the city for which she was
christened and is then under orders to
take aboard her torpedo outfit at New

HA1E-BkEED INDIANS SUIT.
Wants Forty Three Acres of Land in til,
Heart of Kansas Citu.

Hants Forty Three Il ores of Land in the
Heart of Kansas city.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Jan. 8.-Joseph
Boulanger, a half-breed Usage Indian,
came here yesterday from Elgin, Kans..
and announced that he would bring suit
to recover forty-three acres of land in the
heart of Kansas City, now worth between
$40, GOO, 900 and $50, 600, 0G0. The land was
bought by the Government in 1912 from
Collise Mentardeau, French trader, who
was the grandfather of the present claim
ant.
Boulanger is q prosperous farmer and
has lived in Elgin for years. He shows
apparently indisputahle proof of his re-
lation to Montardeau. On March Is, 1894,
Boulanger read in Kansas City paper of
the filing of the patent granted to Col
Use Montardeau by President Andrew
Jackson, whose signature was affixed by
A. j. Donelson. his secretary. The land
was patented at the Land Office of Lexing-
ton. Boulanger claims that his grand
father, being sEorant of legal forms, had
never filed the patent, and that the trans.
fers OF the properties since then have been
invalldated. The property holds the larg-
est building in Kansas City.
