GOVERNOR ALLEN
 REACHES SAN JUAN - T
 Drove to the Executive Mansion
 Preceded by Troops NO GREAT DEMONSTRATION MT Allen Was Attired in Very Ordi- nary Costume and Porto Ricans ~ Could Hardly Realize That
 He Was an Official
NO GREAT DEMONSTRATION

San Juan, April 27.-The United States snip Dolphin, bearing MT. Charles H. AL ieh' the newly appointed governor of Por- 10 Rico, dropped anchor off San Juan at lo o'clock this morning, as did also the Chlted States armored cruiser New York, the United States battleship Texas and the United States gunboat Machias The New York remained outside the harbor, the others entering.
 General Davis, military governor, visited 2 MT. Allen on board the Dolphin at :30 A detachment of 75 insular police and four companies of the Porto Rico regiment, with a band, were drawn up on the wharf. The Dolphin's launch carrying MT. Allen and his family, with General Davis and Lieutenant Parker, the latters aid, left the Dolphin promptly at noon, the Texas and Dolphin firing salute of IT guns. Mean while the band played "Borinquen," the Porto Rican national air and the steamer lying in the harbor kept up continuous whistling until the launch reached the landing
 MT. Allen ran quickly up the steps and the families of General Davis and the new civil governor were introduced to each other. A crowd of 5000 looked on, but was kept at distance. The police and troops marched past at present arms MT Allen dofing his hat.
The age-herald., 1900-04-28
Drove to Executive Mansion

He then entered the carriage that was in waiting an drove to the executive mansion, preceded by troops and followed by squads of police. He constantly raised his hand to the, throng that lined the sidewalks. MT. Allen took breakfast with General Davis and with his family will remain as the guest of General Davis. He landed in an ordinary costume. straw hat, blue coat and duck trousers, and a wave of exclama- ton followed the carriage. This can't be MT. Allen," said one.
 That's not the new governor" said an- other. Not that man in the straw hat, surely not"
 The simplicity of the costume and of the general details of the reception took the Porto Ricans by surprise. and they could scarcely realize that they looked upon the new governor. MT. Allen is the first gov ernor of Porto Rico to arrive in anything less conspicuous than a gorgeous uniform covered with gold lace and similar trap pings.
 Few representative citizens were present at the landing, the throng being composed largely of middle class people. Nor was there any attempt to decorate the build ings, or nothing to speak of, and generally the reception was not notably enthusiastic One Porto Rican explained the lack of popular demonstrativeness by saying that the people were dissatisfied to find that the civil government would not actually be in full force on May 1 as they had hoped.
 In the course of a brief interview Mf. Allen told the correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press that it was too early for him to talk of government affairs but that he had formed no outline of policy. He con- tradicted the report that he would return to the United States after a conference with General Davis. He desires to settle the details of the new regime as soon as possible, and will remain here with Gener- al Davis pending the arrival of the new appointees.

The ftsllowing clipped from
the Wells County News which,
5. in many,respeets, is applicable
TO McLsan county, as the situ-
alton reduced by expansion
of county business incident
to the rapid settlement within
its borders is much the same:
Probably the duties and
volume of business of no office
in Wells county have increased
as those Of the Register Of
Deeds. In 1891. 81 .93 and
;94, Mr. Parsons was Register
of Deeds Of this county, there
was Sc, little work that he had
to rustic on the outside for a
!livirs and made the office a
side isNe. Then came, Mr..
Liefsen. whose first term was
light on business, but about 3
or four years ago the duties of
that Office began to increase
quite rapidly, and to day in-
'steadgof there not being busin-
ess for one man there is en-
ough 10 keep three busy all the
time and part of the time four
or five. In 1895, when our
present court house was built,
it was thought to be large en-
ough to accommodate all de-
mands for the next 20 years.
to come. This was a much mis-
taken idea, for a trifle over d
wears nave passed and every
office is crowded except the
Jail. The registers office is SO
crowded that is a question Of
how more room is TO be OBJ
tanned. In a short time more
clerks will have to be added
and there is no room for them
The vault is already inadequate
and the rate at which records
are piting in it is estimated by
the register that within two
years more there will be no
roon1 fqg them, The only SO
luton Of the problem seems
to be to move the county judge
up stairs, and convert his office
and that of the Register into
one; as the two vaults are sep
Grated only by a thin partition,
these could be made into one
thereby gaining the much need
ed room. But suppose this
was done, where will the judge
keep his records? There is no
vault up stairs, and his records
are Of as much importance as
those of the Register of Deeds
and there you area prob
lem for the county commission
t:rs.
There is a great deal of work
in the Registers office about
which many know but little.
Every real estate contract, deed
etc, must be recorded, and
copied in full, and before record
Of such papers must be entered
in six different books. This, it
will be seen, requires a great
deal of work of the strictest
kind, for the omission or
change OF one word or hgure
might invalidate the title TO
property OF inestimable value.
The office Of register of deeds
is the only office in the gov
ernment of the county which is
self sustaining. and which does
not cost the county a cent; and
what is more makes money for
the county. For each instru'
ment recorded or registered a
fee is charged. This fee more
than pays all help, all improve
ments, such as books, furniture
salaries, &c.
