i HONDURAN WAR ENDED.
American Naval Forces Are Sent to

Washington.-The explanation of
the action of the American naval
forces in landing at Puerto Cortez,
in Honduras, and in undertaking to
intervene between the government
forces and the insurrectionists with
view to bringing about settle
ment of the difficulty in that country
without further bloodshed was had,
when the state department made pub
lie the text of kilograms exchanged
between President Taft and President
Davila of Honduras, within the last
few days.
From this telegraphic correspond
ence it appears that in seeking to re-
store peace between the warning fac
tions in Honduras, President Taft IS
simply conforming to the earnest
wish of President Davila. who tele-
sraphed him as follows:
1.-The government of Honduras is re-
solved to approve the loan conven-'
ton. For this suspension of hostill-
ties is Necessary in order to prevent
the useless shedding of blood. II your
.oxcellency can lend your valorous in
servention to the end that the war
may cease, the people and govern
ment of Honduras will have cause to
again thank the United States ana
its worthy president for the interest
they are taking in the tranquility and
prosperity OF the country"

hundreds were wounded and varying
reports leave from fifteen to twenty
more unaccounted for.
Thirty-two seems to be conserya-

S75O,OOO. 1t is known that nearly four
hundred persons were treated at va
rious hospitals for injuries.
The cause of the explosion is vari-
ously attributed to the dropping OF
case of dynamite and to boiler ex-
plosion on a boat Just what was the
direct cause probably never will be
known.
How many were injured never will
be known in full, but the count OF
these treated in the New York r1ospi-

Jersey City, Hoboken, Union Hill and
surrounding towns, more than double
that number. Five bodies of the 32
estimated as killed, have been recov-

STANDARD ASKS s25o,ooo DAM
AGES FROM MAGAZINE FOR
ALLEGED LIBEL.
POISON" FEATURE is BASIS
Article in Hampton's by Cleveland
Moffctt WouncIs and Redress
in Court Is sousht-First
Time Company Carried
Troubles to Court.

New York-The Standard Oil COM
pany has had lot of unpleasant
things said about it one time or an
other, as John D. Archbold once point
ed out in a magazine article, but it
has never taken its troubles to court
until now, and when summonses have
been obtained in the United States
circuit court in the suits for damages
brought by the Standard Oil company
against the Broadway Magazine COM
pany, publishers of Hampton's Maga-
zine, and Cleveland Moffett, author OF
the alleged libelous article, which
caused the company to turn.
Mr.. Moffett pointed cut that glucose
is used in candy-making and added
that the agents of Standard Oil in
eastern Pennsylvania and lower New
Jersey "had been arrested, brought
into court, branded as deliberate poi
soners of little children"
That sentence about the poisoning
of little children hurt and the smart
ing of the wound wasn't sootaed any
by the stream of clippings from the ar
ticle, which began to come in every
mail to the Standard Oil office at rs
Broadway. 1t is said that copies OF
the article were also received by many
of the officers of the corporation.
The result was that the corporation
broke its rule and began suit for $780,
600 against Hamptons. and for $780,
600 against Moffett.
Before starting the suit Martin
Carey, attorney for the company, and
j. /. e. Clark, its press representative,
called upon Hampton's to retract.
They denied taet Standard Oil is in
terested in glucose or that the men
referred to in Mr. Moffett's article as
having been branded as deliberate
poisoners of little children" were rep
resentatives of Standard Oil. Mr.. Moi
fett was present when the Standard
Oil representatives made the demand,
and, after consulting with him, Benja-
min B. Hampton, editor of the maya
zine, decided to stand pat.
The article called Cassidy and the
Food Poisoners" deals with the cam
paign for the enforcement of the pure
food laws made by Harry P. Cassidy,
a food inspector in Philadelphia.
In the papers upon which the sum-
monses were obtained by Shearman
and Sterling of 55 Wall street, attor-
neys for the Standard Oil company in
this case, it is set forth that on or
about January 10, 1911, the defendant
recklessly and maliciously published
in the February issue of the magazine
the false, unfair, libeIous and defama.
tory matter following"
At this point there is inserted in the
papers the portion of Mr.. Moffett's ar.
ticle referring to the Standard Oil
under the subhead Of "The Standard
Oil and Poisoned Candy"

THE ToRRENs LAND TITLE.
The Registration Law Explained.
What 1t VIII Do.
aGAJEAI0NxyGASNCAJXhC

The Registration Law Explained.
What 1t VIII Do.
What is Torrens Title?
1t is a title to real estate guaran.
teed by the State to be perfect and
unassailable in court.
Where does it get its name?
From Sir T. R. Torrens, Premier
(Secretary of State) Of S. A-5tralia,
who originated this land title regis
try to guard against land sharks, and
remedy the then existing defective
titles of his country, causing expen-
sive litigation and doing great inius-
tice to the land owners.
Wherein does a Torrens title diff
fer from our warranty deed?
A Torrens title cannot be issued
by the clerk of the court without a.
perfect chain of title being on record
an dthe property appears unencum-
bered by liens, judgments and mort
cages; when issued it is guaranteed
by the State agsinst all claimants,
and suit for its recovery. cannot be
brought against the owner, but a suit
for payment of the Same may be
brought against the, State.
How does the State protect itself
against possible loss?
An additional fee beside the regu-
lar registry fee, may be charged,
which creates a sinking fund out Of
which, all judgments accruing from
suits arising out of land litigation and
its expenses would be paid.
What effect would such change
have on our courts?
1t would do away with most of the
litigation now filing our Superior
Courts, thereby saving the taxpayer
many thousands of dollars.
What other direct benefits would
the land owners reap from such q
law?
1t would secure to the land owner
lower interests on the money borrow
ed, as the lender would have abso-
lutte security for money lent on land,
more capital would seek loans-
thereby lowering the rate of interest
Would any class be injured by the
passage of such law?
The Land thieves, abstract compan-
nies and some lawyers would be, as
little or no land litigation could arise
under such law, after it was firmly
established.
If such law is passed, would such
deed have to be recorded again?
No. The law could be made op-
tional, so only those who desired a
Torrens Title could take advantage
Of the law.

BANK DEPOSITS DECREASE.
Greatest Decrease in Deposits Is Now
Shown in New York City, Where
S15s,Ooo,ooo Was Withdrawn.

Washington.-Depo of individu-
ais in the 1900 national banks of the
United States decreased $19l, ,566,4SS
between November ~ and January z,
a situation probably unprecedented in
the reports made to the comptroller
of the currency.
Of,that sum, more than S15S,O0G,OO0
was withdrawn from the thirty-nine
national banks of New. York City. NO
two officials of the treasury agree as
to where. =, money went. Some are OF
the ypinf Fart ofIit might Eaave
gone to strengthen the New York
etate banks and trust companies dur.
ing the furry caused by the so-caIled
Robin failure early in the month. All
Of the treasury officials, however. ex-
pressed great interest in what expla-
nations the New York bankers might
give.
A comparison with the national
banks of Chicago SHOWS that the drop
was confined almost entirely to New
York City. The eleven Chicago banks
reported loss of S9,OOO,OOO on indl-
vidual deposits. The reserve banks OF
the Western and Pacific states and
the New England states all show
losses, but comparatively small ones.
One peculiar aspect Of the drop was
that the New York banks alone lost
as much as the combined banks OF
the country had gained in November.
Another feature Of the situation
which greatly puzzles the treasury
experts in that in spite OF the enor-
nous slump in deposits the banks
are still holding higher percentage
of reserve than they were in Novem-
ber, and the total loss in loans and
discounts of the whole country has
been only S4S,OOO,0OO, while there has
been a gain in cash of more than S2O,-
100000.
The banks of the South are about
the only ones showing gains of de.
posits. That is said to be because
they are now being paid for cotton.
Reductions of loans is the rule. how
ever, all over the country, and this
is said necessarily to follow such
sharp reduction of deposits.

CHAMP CLARK oPTIMIsT.
The Old World is Growing Better as
Tisne Passes.

Time Passes.
Springfield, Mo- Declaring that
he is an optimist, and that he believes
the world is growing better, Repre-
sentative Champ Clark of Missouri,
Speaker-elect of the next House of
representatives at Washington, deliv-
cred a message "of hope and cour-
age" in an address before the Young
Mems Christian Association here.
Among other things Mr.. Clark said.
Thanks be to Almighty God, wars
are becoming rare and rarer. One
thing which the flying machine will
accomnlishe will be to put an end for
ever and foever to all wars. Lotter-
les have been stopped. Institutions
for preservation of morals, relief of
human sufferiny ygs, for perpetuity OF
our institutions are springing up on
every hand. The idea of reformation
of criminals rather than their punish
ment is taking deep hold Oh the
minds of men. There is mere money
today devoted to charity per capita
than evei before. Controversial re-
ligion has passed and practical re-
ligion is at hand. The masses of the
people are waking UP to the fact that
politics should be purified, demanding
primary reforms"

POSTAL BANK SUCCEED
NEW INSTITUTIONS ARE PAST
EXPERIMENTAL sTAeE-A
FINE SHOWING.
HITCHCOCK ENTHUSIASTIC.
The United States Postal Banks
Record For First Month Better
Than British Postal Banks in Their
Best Year-Deposits Reported.

Washington-"If the necessary ap-
preparations were available, 1 would
establish postal savings banks at
once in five hundred additional cities
and towns of the United States"
This statement was made by Post
master General Hitchcock in view of
reports thus far received concerning
the first months operation of the pos
tai savings system. The reports are
most gratifying to Mr.. Hitchcock and
to the other officers of the postal saw
ings service. They are regarded as
demonstrating that the new system
already has passed the experimental
stage.
The certificate of deposit plan,
which is an innovation in the trans
action of postal savings business, is
shown to be admirable adapted to it's
purpose. 1t is found to be readily un-
derstcod by depositors and easily
handled by postmasters.
The total deposits in the forty
eight existing postal banks for the
month of January will amount to ap-
proximately $4,000. This is an aver
age of about $1,000. Assuming that
this average will be maintained
throughout the year, the aggregate of
annual deposits will be close to three
quarters of million dollars. This,
too, will be the situation in the small
offices, where the banks now are in
operation. 1t is assumed by the Off
GERS of the system that the deposits
will be correspondingly greater when
the service is extended to first-class
Offices.
The average amount Of deposits be-
ing received at each Office, as indicat-
ed by the January returns, is larger
than the corresponding average for
the British system of postal savings
repositories in 1908, the most sue
cessful year in the history OF that
system.
A large majority of the depositors
in January were foreign-born Ameri-
cans, many of whom have been in the
habit of sending their savings to their
native countries for deposit. An i'm
portant result of the system, there
fore, is to diminish the outflow from
the United States of such funds.
In view of the successful opera
ton of the new system during its first
month, Postmaster General Hitchcock
has recommended to the Congress the
appropriation of s1,OOo,C0c to be i'm
mediately available for the extension
of the postal savings system to con-
siderable number Of postoflces, the
patrons of which are clamoring for
the new banks.

All Ship Subsidy Graft.

Neutrality-suspicious. W. Dodsworth,
editor of the New York Journal OF
Commerce; Charles A. Conant of New
York, formerly correspondent of that
publication, and F. C. Donald of Chi
cago, commissioner of the Central
Passenger association, we're witnesses
before the house committee on inves-
tigation of ship subsidy charges. Mr..
Dodsworth said he regarded all ship
subsidy as graft, but finally conceded
that there were men honestly support
ing that cause. The committee ad.
iourned for two weeks.
