WILL NOT RECEIVE
JEWISH PETITION

Washington. July 17.-It was learned
last night that the State Department
has received a reply from Russia, stat
ing that It would neither receive nor
consider the matter of the Jewish petit
ton on the subject of the Kishineff in
cident This information came in the
form of cablegram from MIR. Riddle
the American charge at st. Petersburg
to whom was committed the delicate
task of inquiring of the Russian gov
ernment as to its attitude with regard
to the presentation of the petition. 1t
is believed that this will end the mat
ter. and that no further steps Will be
taken to bring the views of the petit
TONERS to the attention of Russia, al
though as vet no consideration has
been given by the President to the
course to be pursued, in the light OF
Russia's response to our inquiry.
The reply that Russia would make
to all suggestions on the subject of the
Kishineff massacre was forecasted very
clearly by the Associated Press some
weeks ago, in an authorized statement,
when the public was definitely in
formed that Russia regarded the affair
as an internal matter as to which she,
in the exercise of her own sovereignty,
must refuse to receive suggestions
from any other government of outside
source.

secretary OF state, died at the Blaine
homestead here Wednesday. Mrs.

riet Stanwood. the daughter of lead
ing citizen of Maine. She met her
husband while both of them were
teachers in school in Kentucky. They
were married at Pittsburg and later

Frenchman coneeives an Old Idea.

San Francisco, July I'm. Locqui
Lobet, member of the French Geo
graphical society, now here, has con-
ceiyed the idea of building trans
Alaska-Siberia railroad and thereby
affording an all-rail route from New
York to Paris. shifting the commercial
axis from the Suez canal to Berins
straits. In 1898 Lobet visited Alaska
on a scientific mission and it was then
he first thought of the great scheme
that has since interested many wealthy
men of Europe and resulted in the
formation of big company, which. he
gays, has pledged him ample funds to
carry it out. He is now making a
tour of the world in the interest oil
this railroad scheme and it is this mo-
tive that has brought him to San Fran
cisco.
The present plans outline road
across the United States from New
York to San Francisco, thence north
ward through California, Oregon and
Washington along the Canadian coast
to Juneau, thence to Fort Cudahy and
thence to the most westerly point OF
Alaska, extending into Bering sea.
Here a tunnel will connect the two
mainlands and thence the road will run
through Siberia to st. Petersburg and
then finally through Europe to Berlin
and Paris.

Where the assessed valuation of the

above sum for each additional one

fund; and twenty-five cents upon each
additional thousand dollars of the as
sessed value of the property, eNclu-
siye of improvements. should he added
as the Registrars additional filing fee,
one-half of which goes to the county.
In other words, the assessed value of
the property is taken rs the basis for
the assurance fund fee, while the as
sessed valuation, exclusive of improve
mcnts, is taken as the basis for the
collection of what may be called the
registrars original filing fee fund,
which is divided equally between the
registrar and the county.
While the law is intended to be so
plain and simple that any person of
ordinary intelligence can conduct the
registration of his own title, II It is
not complicated; nevertheless, where
the property is valuable, in this as in
all other legal matters, it will be
safer and in the end far better to have
the proceedings conducted by com
petent and careful attorney; and in
that case his fee must, of course, be
added to the above.
The immediate effect of registering
title is to make the properly a quick
asset The title is made absolutely
perfect, and it always remains so. The
county itself becomes in reality the in
surer of the title. The value of the
land is enhanced by making it more
available as an investment. 1t may be

to make out Il deed. 20 to the court

and Just what liens or membranes.
if any, there are on il.
Our present system is expensive and
incurs great delay and insecurity in
dealing with real estate. While under
the Torrens system the expense is
nominal. the title is absolute and deal

tated Eventually the law will oper-
ate to dispense with the necessity of
