TITLE SEARCh[RS
INCREASE RATES
Four Alameda County Concerns
Unite in Raise Affecting
ALI Realty Deals

OAKLAND, Nov. 3.-Prices have been
raised by combination of four of the
best known title searching companies
of Alameda county. according to an
nouncements which have been dis
tributed in real estate Offices and banks
The companies which have united TO
boost the price of their ware are the
Stocker & Holland abstract company.
Alameda County abstract company,
Leckie- Abraham title company and the
Oakland title and abstract company.
The change adds nearly 200 per cent
TO the charge for fun certificate OF
search. the former price being SIS and
the new figure $40.
The official announcement refers to
the increase as rule" the introduc-
ton reading as follows:
For the purpose OF more clearly defining our
responsibility 10 the purchasers Of real estate
and 10 the makers OF real property loans on the
basis Of the evidence of our certificates Of title
and combinations, and for the further purpose OF
establishing a uniform and definite charge for
title work and record searching. the following
rules have been adopted BY the undersigned and
will prevail in the issuance OF all certificates Of
title, abstracts Of title and eontinuations made
by each Of the undersigned companies.
Charges for other lines of work re-
manned practically unchanged
Two searchers of records who have
recognized standing remained outside
the organization They are Alexander
II. Agard and Mrs Mary Murphy They
refused to subscribe to the new rule
They have boosted the price, said
Agard, speaking of his competitors,
but so far as I can see the reason was
to afford an increased commission to
realty dealers who turn work in their
direction. Formerly an agent who di-
reeted an applicant 10 a Searcher re-
ceiyed IS out of SIS charged. Competi-
tion being a little strong now they

R[FORMATORY FOR
ADULTS IS URGED
Probation Officer Ruess Makes
Reply to Criticism of
Present Methods

OAKLAND, Nov. S.-The address OF
Captain of Detectives w. ]. Petersen
before Brooklyn Presbyterian church
last Sunday in which he declared that
probation methods could be improved,
brought out from Probation Officer
Ruess a. reply today. Petersen declared
that too many. adult criminals were
now placed on probation when they
should be in Jail. Ruess said:
Captain Petersen declares that some
men now released for felony charges
on probation from the superior court
Should instead be sent TO prison ON in
ieterminate sentences. That is, they
should go tillrt they are cured and stay
till they die II they do. not change.
THE captain is right. so far as he
goes. we want first, the indeterininate
sentence in Califprnia, and second, an
adult reformatory to replace one of the
penftentiaries: AS It is. the superior
court must do the best it can. 1t is
better TO place some men on probation
than to send them TO a prison that
only makes the disease of crime worse.
But some are placed on probation who
instead belong in, a good prison, that is
reformatory.: But trey don't. belong
in a had prison, a hospital for the dis
ease of. crime which makes the patient
more sick than ever. AT the present
time too great a strain is. being placed
on the probation SYSTEM. Probation
can not take the place of the adult
reformatory.
"rhe captain is right, too, about a
new city jail. The present Oakland
Jail is a disgrace to- Christian civiliza-
-tfon. The bond issue should carry in
order 10 have new city jail if for no
other reason
