TO ESTABLISH LAND TITLES
Substitute Measure Introduced by Repre-.
sentative jenkins.
A Matter of Considerable Local I'M
pOrfnnce-ApprOyed by the
commissioners.

Representative Jenkins of Wisconsin, In
reporting 10 the House a substitute for
House bill G'39. Ito quiet land titles in the
District of Columbia" has submitted an
elaborate report upon the measure He
says, in part:
THE purpose of this substitute is the
same as the original bill-to provide a pro-
cedure whereby persons having title TO
land in the District of Columbia by ad-
verse possession may establish such title
by matter of record and make it market
able. Where one has gone into possession
OF land under void or defective deeu or
under contract of sale, made by vendor
who dies before executing deed, the ap-
parent record title remains in the original
owner or in his heirs, even after such
owner or heirs are barred by lapse of time
from asserting such title. The apparent
defect in the paper title of the occupant,
however, makes sucn title unmarket able,
or at least depreciates its value, unless tie
fact of adverse possession can be establish
ed by matter Of record and some document
evidencng that fact can be inserted as a
link in the chain of title.
I'VE are Informed that quite large num-
Der of lands in this District are held by oc-
cupants whose titles by adverse possession
are good, but whose paper titles are de-
fective, and the lands are therefore unmar-
ketable. The committee understand that
the measure now proposed is Endorsed by
two of the judges of the Supreme Court OF
the District and several leading members
of the bar. The Commissioners of the Dis
trict have also approved the present bill
and expressed hope of its speedy passage.
Your committee have anticipated All OBJ
lection to this measure on the score of the
supposed injustice or impossibility of pro-
ceeding against unknown defendants. and
the point has received serious considera-
ton. 1t Is conceived that the proposed pro-
cedure is not essentially different from the
a1l III ;-I bod ~, otl,4
of giving notice by publication to absent
or foreign defendants That notice may be
so given in cases having in view the es-
tablishment of plaintiffs title to property
within the jurisdiction of the court, or the
subsection of such property to some claim
of the plaintiff against the absent owner,
Is beyond doubt.
The substitute is practically the Mis-
souri, statute relating to the same subject.
1t covers what is sought for by the origi-
nal bill, and having been in use for a long
tsrle has considerable approval and is less
Objectionable than the original, and Is sat

There are many good anecdotes about the

that they all prove the kaiser to have no

Ehlers were college chums from Bonn. and

drinking TO the Corps of Borussiar The
pI resident of the latter corps then replies:
'The corps thanks and drinks" On the
birth of one Of the sons of the emperor,
Ehlers telegraphed him: II have the great
hcnor and pleasure to empty my glass in
drinking 10 the youngest HohenzOllern."
The emperor promptly wired back: THE

gan and her young brother The girl. who

rying thirty-Seven loads of snow having
earned $S5.6S. After getting rid of the last
load the girl drove to a feed store, stacked
her wagon full of oats and hay, and sent
her brother home with the load, going
home herself by train.
The girl drove a stage at Coney Island
last summer. She was believed to be Il man

although she was clad in woman's attire
she wore mans heavy overcoat over her
dress while hood concealed her long
hair. The captain OF a tugboat which put
in for water at pier No. Z. where she dump
ed the snow, first discovered that girl was
driving a snow cart With some idea of
having fun he played the hose toward her.
Quick a flash the girl drew loaded re-
volver leveled 1t at the man and told him
that she stood no nonsense from any one.
The captain apoiogiZed and the girl jump
ed on her cart and drove away. Once in the
course of the night she applied to the tick
ct man on the pier for larger shovel, say
ing that hers was too small.
