GOOD TITLE ESSENTIAL
Represents Right to Possession of
Prpperty, Writer
( Asserts.

although an abstract of title appears
10 the average person nothing more
than a lot of unnecessary red tape. which
q man has to unwind every time he
wants to sell or buy piece of property,
it is in reality one of the most essential
things connected with the real estate
business. according to Fl. j. Hayes. in
the National Real Estate Journal. 1t is
not only a thing that every real estate
buyer should insist upon as his direct
protection. but is great aid to the
seller, for there is no argument that can
lie put up against good piece of prop
crty with clean title An abstract of
title is to the INITIATED about as inter
csting reading as the revised edition of
Webster's Dictionary. 1t is merely the
history of title in strict legal form,
nothing more. II must show a title to be
GOOD or bad ana that is all.
Land because its immovability. it's
indestructibilit! its relative perma-
ucnce in value .'l as on account of
the many fine sentiments that cluster
about its ownership, has always been,
and is now. esteemed above all other
forms of property.
The distinguished feature of property
in land consists in the mode by which 1t
may be transferred or conveyed. The
title to land is not transferred by deliv-
cry alone. as in the case of other forms
of property. but also by n deed. and this
deed, to he effective, must conform to
many strict. technical and arbitrary
rules of law-Some of these rules being
statutory cnactments. and others be-
longing to the great body of unwritten
common law. No title. is, therefore,
good. unless every deed in the entire
chain. extending back to the Sovereignty
of the soil. substantially conforms to
these rules of law.
The idea of title examination is IA
miliar enough. Nevertheless. compare
lively few people have any adequate
conception of the labor involved in max
ing abstracts, of the methods that
are pursued
county clerks office there are various
other public records containing entries
of facts concerning titles, and of judg-
ments creating liens or other charges
against real estate. OF these are the
records of the district. probate and fed
oral courts and the records of city and
county tax collectors, but there are
others of minor Importance An alb
stract. therefore, consists in the search
Judgments. taxes, liens and other infor
nation affecting the property. Minutes
OF the facts gathered in such a search,
arranged in chronological order accord
ing to their nature, constitute ab-
stract of title.
The title is the important and essential
part of real estate. The land only rep
bought at dollar per load or less. The
title represents the right to occupy with
out molestation and the right to sell,
transfer and devise by within other
words. the right to possession, enjoy
nent and alienation.

ITEM IN PENDING BILL

Measure Recommended by House
Subcommittee Apprcpriates a
Total of Over 5000, 800.

The holding Of the Hawaiian Islands
as naval base. securely fortified. is
of the greatest Importance in consider
ing the question of the defense of our
own coast and the Panama canal be-
cause any enemy to the west of us
desiring to attack either the Pacific
coast or the Panama canal has got to
leave these islands in his rear to do So
and doubt if any well considered hos
tile expedition would venture to as
sumo such risk, as it would neces-
state the movement of troops and sup
plies through waters in which we
would hold strongly fortified base"
This is the need for the appropriation
for the new Publications. project in the
Hawaiian Islands. as explained by Gen.
Leonard Wood. chief of staff, U. s A.,
before Representative Sherley of Ken
lucky. chairman. and the members of
the Notifications subcommittee which

fer of large number of guns from the

| 1.-THE trade routes from Australia pass
practically through the islands, con-
from the east-Japan and China-pass
about Loo to 1.50o miles north of the
islands. The routes for ships going
around the Horn pass about 800 miles
south of the islands. So you find Ha-
wall in the center of all the Pacific
trade routes. and whatever holds then
will exercise very great influence, Il

Pacific trade or necessitate change
in the course of ships from the ordi-
nary route. 1t is also one of the mos
important. If not the most important
element in the defense of the Pacific
coast"
The new Notifications project will
probably be authorized by the House
and the War Department will follow
the scheme of utilizing old Hawaiian
craters, and departing a little from the

GIVES POLICE POWERS

Item in Appropriation Bill Author.
ICES Their Employment as
Peace Officers.
By Webster

1t is probable that Washington will
have six policewomen after July J., the
beginning of the next fiscal year. an item
in the appropriation bill as it passed the
House of Representatives providing that
police powers shill be conferred on the
police powers shall be conferred on the
matrons was asked, but it was stricken
from the bill.
Maj. Sylvester would give poiicewomen
compensation equivalent to that paid DO
licemen of class l. He says the employ
ment of women police officers has
proved an unquestioned success In other
Jurisdictions. and he is satisfied they
would prove beneficial here.
Work Proves Their Value.
Detective work already done by ma
irons of the department, who were with
out police powers 1t is declared, proved
Their value in such work. Discussing the
question. Maj. Sylvester said:
II have watched the growth of the
employment of policewomen in the va
hfous big cities of the country. and am
satisfied that the plan has proved an
unquestioned success. There are many
phases of police work for which police
women are particularly fitted, such as
the protection of women and girls and
supervision of motion picture shows.

thus saving $1,000, enough to construct a
telescope tower in California.
The commissioner of fisheries demon
strates that the languishing terrapin in
dustry can be scientifically revived, and
another appropriation leads to a descrip-
ton of the manufacture of pearl buttons
from the Mississippi river mussels, which
are solicitously cared for by the bureau
of fisheries. The surgeon general of the
army explains that only $4,000 will be
required for the triennial purchase of
artificial arms for disabled soldiers, in
stead of S11j.oU0 as before. This is due
to the dying off of the veterans of the
civil war.
Perhaps Col. Goethals is asked to throw
some light on the estimates for the canal
appropriations. but the committee is well
UP on this subject, having for several
years made an annual journey to the
big ditch, holding hearings OH the spot.
The superintendent of public buildings
and grounds explains the estimates for
the upkeep Of the White House At the
end of the Taft administration an est
mate of S15.0oD for extraordinary re-
pairs and alterations in the White House
was necessitated by President Wilson's
larger family.

nearly always attended the committee
meetings. in person when his subordinates
were questioned In this way, he de-
clared he could learn more about his
own department than by any number of
conferences in his own office.
Especial attention is paid to the ex-
penditures made under lump sum- APP
preparations in the previous bill. Con-
gress looks with increasing aversion upon
lump sum- appropriations, which are
utilized according to the discretion of
certain departmental or bureau heads.
The abuses discovered under this system
Justify the restrictions which are being
thrown about most of the appropriations.
For instance the expenditures for the
furnishing of the Commerce Court in

In 1905 the practice of incurring deficits
had become SO common in the depart
ments that a stringent law was enacted
providing penalties of dismissal. fine and
imprisonment for such practices, except
in extraordinary emergencies.
When the subcommittee has finally
framed a bill it is reported to the entire
committee. and then to the House. En-
cept where general legislation is attached

there is seldom any minority report and
the deliberations of the appropriations
committee are singularly free from parti-
san ship-probably more SO than in any
other committee in the House.
