fences as pasture for his stock He
had made little use of the back twen-
ty acres and had not developed it in
any way. The Randalls took i'm
mediate legal steps to GUST Fox from
his holdings and recover the prop
erty, but were defeated.
Although Fox had secured no good
title when he took the deed and ent
tered into possession of the property
his continued and open use and pos
session of it as actual owner for a
period of over twenty years gave to
him complete rights in it. This
right was based on what is known as
the statute of limitations. There is
such statute in every state and
they are generally much alike, usual
ly providing that such use and pos
session for period of twenty years
give good title to the property even
as against the rightful owner. The
failure of the rightful owner to as
sert his rights for a period of twen-
ty years costs him This title to the
property. This is what is legally
termed title by adverse possession.
Fox retained his control of the
entire eighty acres described under
the original, worthless deed under
which he had entered. He had en-
tered in good faith under the deed,
believing that deed to be good and
expecting to possess the entire eighty
acres. The court enforced his claim,
as his possession applied to all of the
property described in the deed, he
having taken general possession sand
occupied it for twenty years.
Alex Phelps settled on the same
road at about the same time as Fox.
He verbally laid claim to an eighty
acre tract which he had roughly
described on several occasions. He
made no purchase from anyone
however, shad no deed, or any other
regular means of acquiring owner
ship. He simply squatted on what
he, viewed as mo mans land" In
the Technology of the law he had
no color Of title" as had Fox.
Phelps, too, cleared and cultivated
part Of the tract he claimed, but had
actually made use Of but about sixty
acres. In this case the court allow
Phelps to retain the sixty acres he
had actually cleared, fenced and cul-
tivated, because of his possession for
twenty years, but as to the rest he
secured no rights. As Phelps had
taken under no color of title" his
rights rested solely on occupation
and he could make mo claim as to
parts Of a tract which he did not fac
tually occupy. Merely marking out
the boundaries Of eighty acres and
occasionally walking over them with
out making continued use was ruled
as not sufficient where Phelps had
had absolutely no color of right to
the land upon which he originally
settled.
More frequently cases involving
the doctrine of adverse possession in

James Randall was the owner of a
wilderness tract of thousands of
acres. The country was new and I'M
developed and Randall paid but
slight attention to his holdings. He
and his family lived many miles away
and carelessness paid slight attention
to their large holdings. Verne Fox
moved into the region with his fami-
ly seeking a new home in 1870. He
had a little money and desired to
buy a tract of land which he could
develop into a productive farm. He
met two men who said that they had
such farm for sale. 1t was upon a
back road, mere wilderness trail,
but the land promised we'll to Fox
and he paid $500 for eighty acres, re-
eeiving a Edeed from his new ac-
quaintances and taking possession of
the vacant property without making
any further inquiries. Fox built 8
home and year by year cleared and
developed his fields. He heard that
the road on which he faced was re-
puted to be the boundary of Ran,
dall's tract, and that he was there
fore within, but as no one interfered
with him. he troubled not.

TAFT DISTRUSTS HAGUE
Fears Europe Would Dominate Decs-
ion on Panama Canal Tolls

President Taft is willing to submit
to arbitration the questions at issue
between Great Britain and the United
States over the Panama canal tolls,
but he does not favor arbitration by
The Hague tribunal.
This fact became known upon the
presidents return to Washington from
New York. Although he has not yet
given the matter of a tribunal much
thought, the president probably would
prefer a special board of arbitration
composed of a nequal number of citi-
zens of the United States and Great
Britain.
Such was to be the composition Of
the arbitral court he proposed to set.
tie any vital question arising between
nations when he spoke in behalf of the
arbitration treaties.
The president has expressed to his
friends the view that at The Hague
all Europe would be against this ma
tion and that the moral pressure on
the court would be enormous, because
all Europe is interested in Panama
tolls just as much as is England.
In court on which only Great Bri-
tain and the United States were rep
resented, it is argued, there would be
a much greater chance of a fair de-
cision. Several Democratic senators
have voiced the opinion that a special
tribunal be created to arbitrate this
dispute.

PLANS A BALLOT REFORM
Voters Assistants Would Disappear
Under Saulsbury's Bill.

quest that it be passed. providing for
a simplified election law and making
voters assistants unnecessary. 81
understand, " he said, "that Cover
nor-elect Miller has expressed him
self in favor of abolishing voters as
sistants if ballot can be adopted
which will do away with any possible
necessity for them. feel confident
all Democrats will favor any measure
which will produce a secret ballot
and l have prepared an act providing
for a secret voting which is abso-
lutely nOn-partisan and prepared with
the greatest care am capable of Civ
ing to such a matter. Under the
provisions of his bill there is no nee
essity for voters assistants except in
leases of men totally blind or minus
both arms. The bill provides for a
ticket for each party, the ballots to
be furnished by the Secretary of
State and printed by the Clerk of the
Peace in each county. On or after
the Wednesday preceding each elec-
J tion the chairman of each political
party may obtain two ballots of
each party for each voter, which he
may distribute. This would enable
the preparation or marking of ballots
by voters at home. The ballots NAV
be cut by using a pencil or sticker,
but no ballot may be marked OF
folded to indicate howa man voted.
