Concealment Of Real Estate
Deals Still Possible But
Not Expedient.

While the special war taxes are
being collected the best policy for
principals In real estate transfers Is
to tell the whole truth about the
money involved when they place
their deeds ON the county records.
Neglect to tell the truth now will
later on result In bad title. No
matter what sum figures In the deed,
It will be necessary to attach one so
cent stamp for each $500 in value of
the property sold, after making de-
auctions for mortgages, and other
encumbrances.
The time honored phrase OF TOR
81 and other valuable considera-
ton, is yalteless. The county
clerk is not concerned, however,
about the consideration stated in the
deed. Whether the price given is
correct or not, Is also none OF his
business. II the deed offered for
recording has stamps afixed to It, It
is not his business to ascertain
whether or not the proper number OF
stamps has been used. Those who
eyade the law now by not affixing
tho proper number OF stamps, can
not escape in the future, II they seek
to make transfer Of the property.
II through ignorance of an attempt
at concealnent a deed is recorded

An Indictment, ifOne Be Found
for Violating Law He Had
Enacted:

FAIRMONT, Dec. 9.-After a pre-
liminary trial, Justice Musgrove held
Undertaken r. L. Cunningham to, the
action of the grand jury and fixed the
bond which was given by the defend
ant. Mr.. Cunningham was charged
in warrant with having violated the
law by practicing his profession OF an
embalmer after his license had been
revoked by the state embalming
board.
The state, represented by Trevey.
Nutter and Prosecuting Attorney Nor
ris, commended throughout the trial
that as Mr. Cunningham had been re-
fused renewal of his embalmer's
license that he had no right to prac-
tice his profession and that as he
had embalmed bodies since he was
notified that the board refused to
renew his license that he was guilty
of a violation of the law.
Charles Watkins. Jr., Of Wheel
ing, was the chief witness for the
state. He is also secretary of the
state board OF embalmers. He stated
that the state board of embalmers at
a certain time OF the year sends out
blanks which are TO be filled out by
the undertakers and together with a
remittance fee are to be returned to
the sender. Upon the return OF the
application blank, properly filled out
and signed, the board then issues a
state embalming license.
1t appeared from the testimony in
the case that the board did not re-
fuse to grant the license, because OF
any incompetency on the part OF Mr..
Cunningham but because he failed
to make out the proper application
blank when he asked for the renewal
The state embalming board each
year sends out yellow shipping tags
to the embalmers which are to be
placed on the boxes containing the
dead bodies when they are shipped
Mr.. Cunningham in making the ap.
phcation for his state license failed
to answer clause Of the application
blank which relates to the using Of
these yellow shipping tags. The blank
asks the undertaken to promise that
he will not use one of these tags on
any body that is being shipped unless
the body has been arterially EN-.
balmed. Mr.. Cunningham stated in

CUNNINGHAM IS
HELD TO ANS WEIR

his defense that his reason for not
making this promise was because that
1t Is impossible to embalm all bodies
and yet sometimes these must be ship
ped to some other destination. It is
claimed that bodies of people mutt
lated in accidents cannot be embalm-
ed in the manner which the applica-
tion blank asks, and for this reason
this clause was ignored. Mr.. Cum
bingham fled the same kind of blank
for the year 1913 and the renewal
was granted without any questions
being asked by the board.
Mr.. Cunningham says that he could
not fulfill this promise and for this
reason he failed 10 make It. Mr.. Gun.
ningham through his counsel, Judge
E. F. Morgan and Frank Raymond al
so contends that the board has no
right to refuse the license on this
ground and that the law plainly saws
that upon the presentation Of the res
fewal fee on or before certain time
OF the year that the board shall renew
the license.
