TO QUIET LAND TITLES.
Commissioners Propose an Amend-
ment 10 Pending Ell.


The District Commissioners have trans
mitted to the chairman of the Senate Dis
trict committee report on House bill
& 50. to quiet land titles in the District.
recommending that the bill be amended oy
striking out the provision lines Az. Al and
A. and that as SO modified, IL be en-
acted They also transmitted a report Of
the attorney for the District on the bill.
which was as follows
The object of this bill, as indicated by
its title is to quiet land titles in this Dis
trict Such legislation is desirable. 1t
would make marketable a great deal of
Jronerty in this District that is otherwise
valUeless.
THE bill contemplates proceedings
against the heirs, devisees or alienees of
the last known owner of the record tftle,
and that services of process may be
had on such persons by designating them
in a published notice twithout naming
tnem) as the unknown heirs etc.
tine most serious objection to this bill
is its proviso. This should be stricken
out As the bill stands the proviso multi
fies the good sought to he accomplished.
If it should become a law in its present
shape, the proviso would render ii iropera-
tive for all practical purposes. and defec-
tive titles in this District would remain
in, about the condition they are now III.
If. indeed, they would not be in worse

Of the help these things give u.s. and We should

And we do IL we are wise.
Think, for example, OF the wonderful Roentgen
Y Rays. Why, they easily show things that were
once hidden from all view. You now see the

although you cannot what people thinking
about. But you can pretty nearly, for these re-
markable rays will easily show you many Of
your internal organs and how they are working!
And this is very fortunate, for in the Of the
two most important organs Of the body it is the
only absolutely certain way that any trouble with
them can be detected.
You may live for years and think you in
good health and yet all the time those great
organs of the body. your kidneys. may be slowly
rotting away. Headaches, strange pains, loss Of
strength and energy, shortness Of breath and a
tickle appetite all mean disordered kidneys. Pale
uess, putting under the eyes, pains in the back.

DEAD CANNOT BE SENT BACK.
The statement in the Sigsbee dispatch
that friends of the dead should under

to the urgent pleas of relatives of the
dead that they be brought to the United
States. Urgent appeals continue to be

be brought back. One of these appeals
makes pitiful plea against the burying
of the dead ''by alien hands i'll an alien
country" There are circumstances,
which, if they could be made known,
would end such appeals and would
show that the department. has not been
wanting in desire to bring the re-
mains to this country. These eircum-
stances have been withheld. mainly
through Il desire to save friends and rel
atives from the pain which would be
caused by u full disclosure of the effect
of the explosion. The press reports
have given in part the terrible mutila-
tion of the bodies. but it is feared this
has not been fully realized by friends
and relatives. The men were sleeping
on the berth deck. with metal floors and
ceilings, which. by the force of the cX-
plosiOn, were ground together into n
confused mass. Knowing this. there is
little hope that many of the bodies still
missing will be found or, if found, that
they will be in a condition to be
brought to the United States.

This case, the first gUbcrnatOrial appoint
ment made to the Senate under the
constitution. Mr. SpoOner said, was pre-
cisely similar to that now under con-
Sidcrution. as Mr.. Walkers credentials
showed that the Legislature Of Vir-
ginia had had opportunity 10 fill the
vacancy then existing and had failed
to do 50.

pages of the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill. An unsuccessful attempt to in-
crease the appropriation for thH sup
PRECISION OF epidemic diseases 100000
led to considerable debate on the advi-
stability Of establishing Il national quar-
antine. The fact that the government
is preparing for contingencies was rccog-
niZed in the House to-day when CHAIR
man Cannon, who has been laboring
to keep down appr0pria tiOns. accepted
without 4 word Of protest an amendment
to increase the appropriation to care for
the unused machinery at the Springfield
Arsenal. Mr. G5Aett explained that
necessity for using this machinery might
occur at amy time.

providing for the appointment of Thomas

as passed assistant engineers in the
Navy in the engineer class. 1t was eX~
planned that these men were dropped
