probably would never have stopped to
criminal practices here, so he says, IL
he had not been confronted with the
fact that the majority of commission
ers of deeds were unknown TO the
clerks and other persons who accepted
papers for filing In the town where
he had lived the commissioners OF
deeds were usually men well known to
the leading business and professional
men and were persons of spotless
character. Nobody seemed TO know
one another in this metropolis, he soon
discovered, he further said, and even
many of the most prominent ONCE

of the latest strangers, set afoot

He thought at first he could put his
scheme into effect without having the
signatures of his alleged seller and
buyer sworn to before a commissioners

such proper acknowledgment TO one

Register OLoughlin, and the clerk,
quickly noting the imperfection In the
paper, handed it back 70 the crook.
What's the matter with IT," said the
crook, smiling. He was told It was
all right, or, in other words, legally
made out, but the signatures must BIO
acknowledged by notary or q COM
missioner of deeds. At the time the
crook offered that paper for filing he
had in an inside pocket four similar
defective papers which he also intend
ed to shove in the window of the re-
cording clerk if the first one had been
accepted.
Being man who had had much
worldly experie ice in business affairs,
he knew it was useless for him TO try
to have a commissioner of deeds see
that the documents were attested in
proper form, so he set about to become
a commissioner of deeds himself. He
put up at a place which was we'll
known and soon was on speaking
terms with many other persons who
lived or visited there. II was not long
before he had some Of his new found

Of them being of priceless value, has
rightly been called model depart
ment. However. no work that Regis
ter O'Loughln has done has so struck
the popular fancy as that of the
creation of bureau for the com
pairing Of signatures of all notaries
and commissioners of deeds so as
to lessen the issuing of fraudulent
papers. What is the value of re-

ternity has said, unless we are as
sured that our own legal documents
will not be put in jeopardy by the ac-
ceptancc of fake papers for RECORD? ~
Vacant properties have afforded the
most fertile field for the real estate
takers. And the vacant properties
nave usually been where there are
acres of undeveloped sites, and conse-
quently the vortex of their operations
has generally been in the outlying
suburban sections of the city. No one
need search far for the reason of the
selection of such properties. Vacant
land is usually a sign that district
is dormant from a speculative point
of view. and the chances of being

quickly detected by buying and selling
fake deeds relating to such properties
is almost nil. Properties in q very
active real estate zone are dangerous
things for fake deed writers to tamper
with, because the activity directs atten-
ton of the public to that section and a
fake deed would soon arouse the sus-
picions of many persons, as trans
script Of all deeds is published the
day following the one on which they
are offered for filing. Occasionally
an examination of the recorded doc
uments shows that some of the most
daring and brainy manipulators of
deeds have not stopped at the risk
of being quickly detected in lively
real estate district.
A man who was caught not long ago
through the efforts of Register
OLoughln had planned to make about
$4,000 in writing and selling fake
deeds. In the eyes of the law his
operations seemed 20 be inexcusable to
the realty fraternity, because the cul-
prit was we'll educated. of most pleas
ing personality, and had had an expert
ence in realty trading outside Of this

Register OLoughln had law passed
making it necessary for all commits
sioners of deeds to have their sigma
lures also placed on file with all re-
cording officers in the county or coun'
ties covered by their commission.
One would have thought that these
measures would have been enough, con-
sidering that there had been little or
no legislation enacted in years long
ago to protect the public from the work
of the writer's of unauthentic deeds.
On the contrary, most clever trick
ster planned scheme which even up
set the best laid plans and showed
defect in the scheme to put an end 10
the fraudulent practices in question.
II will probably never be possible ID

County or any similar Office so that the
ingenious breakers Of the law will not
be able 10 put fake deed on record,
but if they do the risk of being quickly
detected will hereafter be greater.

important improvements in the meth

took up the duties there about two ard

1t was shown that the church is
alert in the charitable work of the
city. The organization employs a dea-
coness, whose duty it is to visit stran-
gers, the sick and the needy. For the
local work for the sick and needy ones
of the church and community $32260
was expended by the pastor and the
deaconess. Besides this, for the insti-
tutions of Methodism which are in the
city, the Methodist sanatorium, the
Harwood school for girls and the AL
buQuerque college for the educating of
the Spanish-American boys, s52125
was raised. For the various benevolen-
ces of the church such as home and
foreign missions, education and such
like this church raised $927S0. This
makes total for benevolent work of
$L77165.
Exclusive of that amount the church
paid $500 of Indebtedness, purchased
a $500 piano for the auditorium Of the
churc and met all other financial obli-
cations for running of the local church.
The pastors report showed that
there had been 122 persons received
into the church during the year and
that the membership of this church is

LAND VALUES FIXED

Santa Fe, Sept 11.-Of tremendous
Importance to the Mesilla valley and
especially of the land owners on the
tract to be submerged by the Ele-
phant Butte reservoir, are the two re-
ports filed today in the federal court
by the two sets of commissioners who
appraised the damage to the land and
property owners. One case is en-
titled United States Of America VS..
Lauteria Birner ct al, the commits
sioners being Emil James, T. j. Ross
and Melicio Apodaca The other case
is that of the United States of Amer
lea VS.. Antonio Jose Anaya, the COM
missioners being Edward James, John
c. Plemmons and ]. H. Latham, who
put in am expense account of $60.45,
$69.15 and $671S respectively. Hun
dreds of parcels of land and property
are appraised and are enumerated by
metes and bounds. The sums award
ed range from SIS for some OF the
smallest parcels to more than $4,000
for larger tracts. When it is remem-
bered that the reservoir will submerge
the settlements of Catarecio, Paraje,
ContadeFo, San Jose and other places
with their Catholic churches, their
schools, their stores and homes, be-
sides homesteads and vast areas of
grazing and agricultural lands, then
something of the importance of the
report can be estimated.

Jaspar N. Broyles of San Marcial
S707.42 with interest at 6 per cent

amount owing for long time. The
trustee is ordered forthwith to col
lect that interest and to make fur
