POWERS Of COURT OF
LAND REGISTRATION

In deciding land registration case
Judge Weaver thus expressed himself
on the nature of the proceedings in the
Land Court and ON the powers of the
court:
F'I am of the opinion that this being
a proceeding in rem to register title
to land, and the title that remained
in Annie Turton during her life being
naked legal title bya reason of her re-
fusal to comply with the decree of the
Circuit Court of the First Circuit in
Equity, for the Territory of Hawaii,
and the court being unable to enforce
its personal decree against her, by rea-
son of her absence in San Francisco,
California, up to the date of her death,
is not a valid obstacle to the registra-
ton of title to the land in fee simple
in compliance with the findings of the
Court of Equity. The purpose of the
Court of Land Registration is to deal
with the res and to look directly at the
title to the land irrespective of empty
legal forms. All parties interested
have been notified and none have made
| any claim to the land

MAIL FROM HAWAII
NOT BURNED IN CAR

CENTRALIA. Dec. 15.-Fire in the
mail car on Northern Pacific train No.
80, from Tacoma to Portland, this af-
tarnoon, destroyed a quantity of second
class mail matter and Christmas pres
ents from Seattle, Tacoma and other
Northwest points, and smoked out the
mail clerk so that he had to hol3 on
to the outside of the speeding car from
Bucoda to this city.
The blaze was caused by a lot of
sacks falling over on the stove, in
which there was a fire. AS this section
of the car is locked at Tacoma and not
opened until the train reaches Portland
the clerk was unable to gain entrance.
At Bucoda, where the fire was first no.
ticed, he telegraphed ahead to Centralia
to have the fire company meet the
train. A good deal of the damage was
caused by chemicals and water.
In the other section of the car. which
is separated by partition, there were
siXty-seven sacks of registered mail
from the Hawaiian Islands. If it had
not been for the presence of mind of
the mail clerk these, undoubtedly. would
have been burned and the fire loss
would have been much larger
