Edwin Hawley, president of the Min
neapolis & St. Louis and Iowa Central
roads, has resigned his position as as
sistant general traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific, which he has held for
years. Mr.. Hawley was for years one

the executive committee. He still holds
his seat on the beard. AS assistant gen
eral traffic manager he has had charge

Mr.. Hawley and his associates are we'll

which President Hawley is taking much
interest. ~.

quested the attorney general not to in

TORRENS LAW 0. K.
Supreme Court Says It Says Not
Unconstitutional.
OPINION BY THE CHIEF JUSTICE
1t Stands Against All Three Lines of
Attack FOlIOwed-Other
Decisions.

The supreme court upholds the Torrens
law as applied to Hennepin, Ramsey and
st. Louis counties. Its constitutionallty
was attacked on the ground that it was
special legislation, deprived the owner OF
interest in land without due process OF
law and was contrary to article Of the
constitution vesting the powers Of gov
eminent in three distinct departments
The syllabus follows:

Chapter 81, Laws 1901 providing for the
Torrens system of registering land titles
is not unconstitutional in that it is special
legislaton nor in that it deprives the owner
of his interest in land without due process
of law, nor in that it violates article 3 of the
constitution vesting the powers of govern
ment in three distinct departments, nor in
that examiners of title provided for by the
act appointed by the court and not elected
as county officers are required to be by sec
ton a. article II, of the constitution. Writ
quashed. Start. c. J.

First-Where a promissory note secured by
a mortgage real estate is Endorsed and
transferred to a purchaser without, a formal
assignment of the mortgage, the security
follows the note, as an incident thereto.
The purchaser becomes the equitable owner
of the mortgage, acquiring an interest which
enables him to deal with it for all purposes,
unless it is expressly stipulated to the con-
trary by the parties to the transfer.
SecOnd-G. S. 1894, section 1884, Sd SubdiVi-
son requires that a creditor holding security
for claim against an insolvent, must eithcc
CYL surrender the
assignee before hire can participate in a dis
tributon of the assets.
Third-When proof of debt is made in pro
ceeGings in insolvency without disclosing the
| fact that it's payment is secured, a dividend
| is accepted by the creditor, formal release
| is filed in accordance with the statute and
| a judgment entered in the proceedings &C
quitting ana discharging the insclvent from
all debts and liabilities, it is conclusvely
established except in cases of inadvertence
| or mistake that the creditor has elected tC
waive and abandon his lien and release his

| that be the form Of security.
| Fourth-If the creditor of an insolvent
| valves and abandons his security by means
| of the acts before mentioned, the waiver and
abandonment is complete and effectual and
| operates to the benefit of the insolvent. AL
! property rights which remain in the assignee
at the time he is discharged from the duties

any further or formal act. Reversed and a

 Escape Death.

Cumberland, Md, Feb. 7.-At o'clock this morning the farm house of William P.

 The fire. which Is thought to have started from sparks from an open hearth spread so rapidly that Mir. and Mrs. Robertson found all means of escape gone for the children who were asleep in another rom. and were compelled to jump from a second story window. dress ed only in their night clothes. in order to save their own lives.
 The parents made several futile at- tempts to reach the children, but were driven back by the flames, and after the fire had subsided somewhat, they were almost frozen before aid came from neighbors.
 The tragedy recalls the murder of ar old man named Kessler and the burning of his house, also the burning of the house of an old woman in which she and her grand-child lost their lives, botf of which occurred several years ago 1T the vicinity of this mornings fire.
