ASST. STATES ATTORNEY =. ="
LANDS ONE LAW BREAKER

New England Herald Things
have been string in the justice court
the past week and there have been a
few changes in social amusements and
some changes of addresses among the
floating population. Last week Otto
Thress was appointed assistant
states attorney by States Attorney
j. K. Murray and as soon as his bond
was filed Attorney Thress stated that
he would proceed to rid New England
of blind piggers and gamblers.
In keeping with his promise, Mr..
Thress issued several states at
torney subpoenas and soon gathered
information sufficient to issue a war
rant for Edmund Schultz on the
charge of blind plugging. Schultz was
arrested and given a preliminary
hearing before Justice VanBergen in
the city hall on Saturday evening.
Several witnesses were called but,
as usual in such cases, there seemed
to be a failure of memories. One
witness testified that if he had ever
purchased any liquor from the de-
PENDANT it must have been when he
was drunk. a..
The real evidence was secured when
Shulz was arrested and Immediately
searched. Letters were found in his
room which showed that several ship
ments of liquor had been made to
Schultz during the past two weeks.
A suitcase containing nine pints of
whiskey was found in Schultz's room
and was later introduced as evidence
in court.
Schultz acted as his own attorney
in the case, refusing to spend any of
his h~ard-earned money for counsel.
After hearing the testimony and
viewing the evidence Justice Van Ber-
gen bound the defendant over to dis
trict court, fixing the bond at 5000.
After thinking the matter over for
a day or two Schultz decided that he
would plead guilty and start serving
his sentence. He has made a full
confession and as soon as the papers
are ready he will be taken to Judge
w. c. Crawford for his sentence.

NJ the committee were supported by
the society at its meeting, when reso.
htions advocating "elean bills OF
health" and "evidence Of normal
mind" in candidates for marriage H.
ceuses were emphatically rejected by
it.
Like most reformers, the eugenlsts
move too fast. They would remake
a world over night, and change the
habits of whole race by writing a
law ON the statute books. Not only

HAS CITY BOARD TO BOOST,

Amarillo, Texas, has substituted a
municipal Board of Civic Develop
ment for the voluntary Chamber of
Commerce or Commercial Club on
which most towns depend for their
development. A tax of two mills on
the dollar provides for the boards
activities a sum of about $500 a
year which is spent in the work of
raising the standard of civic condi-
lions and giving the town publicity.
Under this system every taxpayer of
the city contributes to the work which
would otherwise be lone by a COM
mercial club, and the advantage of
the Amarillo plan is shown by the
fact that a humber of the largest
property owners are nonresident
who might be difficult to interest in
voluntary contributions to q Chamber
Of Commerce.
Amarillo is under the commission
form of government and has a city
manager, and, according to Mayor j.
N. BeaSley. the workings of the sys-
tenn have so far been excellent. Mart
H. Hardin, formerly a business man
of Fort Worth, vas selected as man
ager by the commission, to whom
alone he is responsible. Every city
employee, from the department heads
down, is subject to instant dismissal
by Mr.. Hardin. Mr.. Hardin can be
dismissed at any by the com
mission, and the commission is sub
ject to recall whenever the people
feel like it. But so far none Of these
possibilities has been realized. and the
| citizens of Amarillo seem to be salts
fed with their government.
1t has taken all the administrative
departments OIL Of politics and elm
| mated all fee offices; has spent $4,000
in the past year for new fire stations
| and equipment; has added five new
departments to the city government,
and yet the administration is costing
the taxpayers less than it ever did
! before.-NeW York Times.

TORRENS SYSTEM SPREADS.
Land Title Registration Plan Grad
ulaiiy CROWN. i'm Favor.

Inc 1oFrenS system ~ land title
registration is steadily making it's " y
IN various c untries of the world.
The system is now in operation in
the City of London, where over $40
600 titles have been registered and
transferred under the Torrens sys-
tenn. 1t Is also in operation iii Aus
tralia, Fiji Islands. Tasmania, Canada.
and other British dependencies. Land
title registration is made compulsory
in the German Empire. also i'm France
n its colonies. Tunis and Algeria.
In the United States the Torrens
system has been adopted by the
States of California. Colorado. Illinois,
massachusetts, Minnesota, Washington
and South Carolina, Congress has also
established the system in the fiawa--
llan and Philippine Islands.
ONO was one Of the first States in
the Cnion to adopt the Torrens sys-
tenn, but its Supreme Court declared
such legislation unconstitutional. The
peOpl thereupOn amended the con-
StltutiOn to make the method legal.
The TorrenS system takes its name
from Sir Richard TOrrens. who was
governor of South Australia. In 1857
he drew a Real Property Act. which
provided for ther e~gistration of land
titles and transfer Of land by a certi-
fcate of title issued by the govern
ment. h makes possible the trans
fer of titles at a minimum Of expense
and delay. After the first regiStra-
ton subsequent transfers are made by
the delivery of the registered %certlfi-
| cate.
