Subjects Discussed by Owners, b
Operators and Brokers.

r,u.o hir onerators were talking about
dofactivc title the other day. Their con-
vcrsatiou showed that they had an mac
c,irato idea Of title insurance policies, al
;bougb they had bought and sold some
Of the largest midtown properties.
II Is likely that numerous other promi-
mont operators are as badly informed as
they on this important subject.
Philip s. Dean, an authority on utle
insurance. said in an address ABOUT 'hls
form OF insurance that It's purpose ~ 10
guarantee owners and other persons IN
terested against loss arising from defects
IN the tltle 20 real properties, or from the
unmarketablity Of such titles.
AS TO what the policy guarantees lie
so,d: "First. II guarantees that n" uilc
IS marketable. The marketabillty Of the
title is It's most important attribute, I'M
plying, az IL does. that the title - one
which a purchaser can be compelled oy
the courts to take. An owner having a
policy insuyinS that his title IS marketao'e
knows that he can compel any person
who contracts 20 take the title to RUM
his contract: or, if thee curtis relieve hlln'
tho title company will stand the loss.
Second, the policy states and suarah-
tees the exact condition OF the utle' ana
at a glance the owner Is Informed as 70
the liens on his property or any ooJec-
tion8 to the title.
Third the policy is an enga cement to
pay the cost OF any litigation affecting
the property.
Fourth, the policy guarantees that II
the assured sells the property with war
rantles, he shall suffer no damage BY
reason Of any defects in the title for which
ne would otherwise be liable on these
warranties.
THE amount ia which the company will
reimburse the assured for loss Is limited
10 the amount stated in the policy. The
policy is not assignable and protects only

The policy itself consists Of number

FEpERALs WIN VICTORY.
Reported to Have Reosptured City of
 Culiacan.

Mexico City, May 2.-Culiacan IS officially reported to have been re- taken by the government troops un- der General O1eda This information but without details, was received at the department of the interior today.
 Reports from Mazatlan indicate a deplorable condition among wounded federals who are too many to be ac' commodated in the military hospital and for whom there are neither mefi- cines nor nurses. The wounded are victims of numerous encounters with the rebels against whom they appear to have been able to defend the city up to the present. There is said to be shortage of food and many lie iu the open, day and night, with but scant attention.
 Colonel Reynaldo Diaz is said to have routed Zapatistas on Monday, at Cuernavaca. A telegram to the inre- rior department stated that the Mex ico Cuernava railway line had been cleared of rebels and that train ser vice could be safely resumed.

eREsNAHAN WANTS CLUB.
Has Made overtures for Purchase of
 St. Louis Nationals.

St Louis, May 2.-Confirmation Of rumors that Roger Bresnahan, catch CT and manager of the St. Louis Ma tional league baseball team, wished to take over the club, came unexpect- edly this afternoon, when Mrs. Helene Hathaway Britton, owner of the club, testified in Judge Grimm's court that Bresnahan had offered her $500,o00 for the club and park.
 Mrs. Britton was on the stand in her suit to prevent E. A. Steininger, president of the club and administra- tor of the estate of M. Stanley ROb- inson, from voting the stock of Mrs. Britton and her mother at meetings of the club. Steiningers attorneys had asked Mrs. Britton what the baseball team and Robinson field were worth.
 She then quoted Bresnahan's offer.
 This line of questioning was drop ped and all concerned refused to dis cuss the matter further.

New Drug That Quickly Removes
 These Homely Spots.

There's no longer the slightest need of feeling ashamed of your freckles, as a new drug. othine-dou- ble strength, has been discovered that positively removes these homely spots.
 Simply get one ounce of othine- double strength, from any first class druggist in the city of Hot Springs, and apply little of it at night, and in the morning you will see that even the worst freckles have begun to dis appear. while the lighter ones have vanished entirely. It is seldom that more than an ounce is needed to completely clear the skin and gain a beautiful, clear complexion.
 Be sure to ask for the double strength othine, as this is sold under guarantee of money back if it fails to remove freckles.

 Floyd Allen, the first of the Hills. vile court house assassins, on trfai here for his life, was charged with making this remark before the shoot ing on March 14, according to the tes- timony today of L B.

 Six witnesses, three of them spec tators at the shooting affray, testi- fled. The first, D. w. Bolen, a law yer. who was defending Allen in the court where the killing occurred, tes- tified he saw Claude Allen fire the first shot and that it struck Judge Massie. Court officials returned the fire. he said. Two of the juTymen, who were then trying Allen, testi- fied-one of them that Allen had fired in the direction of where he last saw Foster, the commonwealth at torney. who was killed. Other wit nesses told of conversations with AL len, in which he had threatened Eos ter.
 Prosecutor Wysor, opening the case said he would show there was conspiracy among the Aliens to shoot up" the court if Floyd Allen was convicted Attorney Willis for the defense Tetorted that reports of the tragedy had been grossly exag- gerated and that he would introduce testimony to show that Beattie Aires was killed by a bullet from Clerk Dexter Goad's revolver and not by the Aliens. The defense would show, ne said that Floyd Allen had been wounded before he had taken part in the shooting.
