TO clear the title a certain very small
per cent Gin Massachusetts one-half Of
one mill) OF the value OF the land Is
put into "A fund known as a "Torrens'
Guaranty Fund" and remains there
with which ~ pay the owner should
the court make n mistake in the land
after Il Is registered. The real owner
might turn up and prove that the
court erred in its decision, but he
would have to do this in the limit OF
time lin most laws within two years.
or he is forever barred from bringing
the suit If he should do SO he can't
recover the lana, hr' from this guar
anty fund he is paid the value that
is placed upon the land at the time
the title was cleared up by the court.
II we continue the present method
and we will have 10 do so unless we
amend the state constitution, OF loan.
ins the school fund on real estate we
will run into extreme danger OF los
ing lot Of that fund unless we had n
very certain system such as the Tor.
rens' Land System would afford us.
We need the system in Oklahoma for
that reason more than any other. For
another reason the titles are young,
that IS, transfers have been made but
a short time, we could start out issu.
ing certificates upon the three million
acres OF school LAND and by that
means start big heavy acreage under
the system al practically no expense.
We could take the allotted lands and
do the same way so there would be
absolute certainty as 10 their title aud
within a generation every piece OF
land in the state would be carried
into the court and It's title cleared u.
by itself when the school fund being
loaned upon that would thus be pro.
tected In brief the Torrens' Land
System Is a quick, inexpensive, Ger
tain method OF ascertalning Hilcs and
quick easy method OF transfer
You will observe that the amend.
ment proposed in This resolution does
not compel the legislature or the peo
pie OF the state 10 enact the system
in this state, merely gives the legisla
ture power 10 do Il, or the people "a

Now I desire to read the resolution
just as / request Il to be submitted

 A CONTRACT Which Cannot Be Summa-
 rily Set Aside
A Contention by Attorney for a Discharged Mem- Der of Negro Battalion.

New York, May 4.-For more than 8 hours tonight, Judge Hough of the fed eral district court, listened to argu- ments which involved the question of the right of President Roosevelt sum- marily to dismiss the three companies of negro soldiers of the twenty fifth infantry for Salleged participation in the Brownsville riot. The argument was on a demurrer interposed to d portion of the answer of the govern ment in the action commenced by pri- vate Oscar w. Reid to recover sI22 which sum represented his wages as a soldier from the date of his dismissal without honor to the date of the eX- piration of his enlistment. The suit was commenced in the federal court of this district
 To the complaint filed in behalf of Private Reid. United States District Attorney Stimson entered a general denial, and for an additional defense alleged the right of the president to dismiss the soldiers of these compan- ies. He also referred to the reports of the various army inspectors recom- mending such action, making the re- ports d portion of the record in the case.
 IL was to this portion of the govern ments answer that Charles l.. Mellen, counsel for Reid. demurred. Mellen contended that the enlisted men are protected by constitutional rights which the president has not power to ignore. even as commander-in-c chief of the army and navy. enlistment Op- erating realy from a legal viewpoint as civil contract between the old soldier and the government.
 Judge Hough reserved his decision, but told Lawyer Mellen plainly from the bench that it would require con siderable legal proof to convince him that the relations of the enlisted sol dier to the government amounted sim ply to a. civil contract.
 Briefs are to be- submitted to the at torneys in the case by Wednesday and Judge Hough said he would take the matter up at the end of the week.

The head wind struck us as soon as We got outside the breakwater of San Pedro" said Lieutenant Commander Cone. when he came aboard the Con necticut this afternoon to report to Admiral Thomas. "We ran close to shore all the way up and the wind never Iessened. We set a standard speed of fifteen knots but the gale was SO strong we found it unsafe to go faster than 12l3 knots. We made practically twelve knots all the way. The weather was clear but the head wind was one of the worst I have ever seen. We simply ploughed through heavy seas all the way to Monterey Bay. Water washed over us ever min ute. We were nearly all seasick but VIC were pretty used To that sort of thing on the destruyers. and came right ahead without slackcning speed. We were due here at s o'clock this morning but could not make it at twelve knots We are back with the fleet now and are glad to be here"
 The flotilla came into the bay this afternoon in single column steaming at full speed. As the destroyers pass
 
 Kansas on their way in shore. steam whistles on the beach began to screech a welcome to the little craft. They proceeded well in toward the beach and anchored 1000 yards from the first squadron Hundreds of people lined the beach and cheered the crews Of the flotilla.
 The hospital ship Relief also came into bay shortly afternoon today. She tnok on board a number of sick from the different ships of the fleet and will return to san Francisco either tonight or tomorrow morning. Admiral Thom- as has ordered that she go to San

Monterey, May 4.-The winds which prevailed yesterday abated during the early morning and the day. was bright and beautiful, with only a mild breeze ruffling the water. Divers from the Illinois were busy all morning trying to locate the anchor which had been lost tine night before After many vain efforts they finally succeeded in getting hold of the chain and the lost anchor w;ls hauled on board

BROWNSVILLE BUSINESS
 LINGERS IN THE SENATE
A New Feature of the fOrdker Bill Brought
 to Members Attention
If Reinstated In the Army, There Would Be No TrOu- ble In Finding the Negroes if Evidence of Their Guilt Should Ever Be Discovered.

Washington, May 4.-Senator Bulk ely of Connecticut. member of the military affairs committee spoke at length today on the Brownville affair. NIT. Bulkely declared his belief in the innocence of the negro soldiers of the Twenty fifth regiment He said that the rioters in that town on the night of August 13 and 14. 1906, in his judg- ment were lawless Mexicans from out side the town, assisted by the lawless class in Brownsville. He insisted that the absence of light in the city on the night of the raid was sufficient to i'm peach the testimony of the witnesses who told of seeing the negro soldiers.
 Senator BOrah interrupted to say that the night in question was an or dinary starlit night and that the the ory of the darkness had never been suggested except by men who wanted it to be dark night.
 Mir. Fulton of Oregon. stated that while he was convinced that the shoot ing up Of Brownsville was done by negro soldiers. he favored the Foraker bill requiring their reenlistment upon their statements of innocence.
 Mir. FOraker added that the bill had an important feature in its provision that should at any time evidence of the guilt of the.men be disc 'vered they might be tried either by the civil or military authorities. By having them back in the army they could be re- ported at anytime.
 The senate today passed a resolution appropriating s25OO0O to relieve the recent tornado sufferers in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana.
