red brick building in the Chelsea dis
trict a half dozen men working under
the direction OF Francis 7. Gilling, a
painter and sculptor, recently finished
work on model Of the colossal Com
modore Hotel which John McE. Bow

inpton av. and 42d 50. A representative
Of Mr.. Bowman said yesterday: The
model is made of wood pulp, has over
seven thousand windows and Is perfect
in every detail, IL being built from the
architects plans. One may not believe
il, but building model of the gigantic
Commodore - not easy proposition.
One may again not believe that the
cost Of q model lis equal TO the cost OF
a good sized Queen Anne cottage IN one
Of our suburban sections. In a stuty
little room Sculptor Gilling and mis- six
workmen carved and put together the
model in six months time.
THE model is the first OF its kind
ever made of gigantic hotel, and. inci-
dentally. IL will be the first 20 be sent

bath for two and a half will be the
slogan of the hotel One thousand
rooms will be put at the travelling pub

State Owners
Ready to Serve
Their Country
Members Pledge Their I'm
flinching Support to
President Wilson

A, a recent meeting Of the Real Es-
tate Association of the state Of New
York. held at Albany, the association,
through it's executive committee,
pledged it's united and unhinching sup
port 10 President Wilson, and request
ed that he call upon the association for
any service which in his judgment II
could perform for the welfare of the
country.
The passage Of this resolution fol-
lowed "A discussion Of various ways in
which the association could render SER
vices I'm case the present situation
should result in war. IL WAS decided
that the organization, on account OF its
statewide scope and its affiliation with
local boards throughout the state, was
peculiarly qualified TO serve the gov
eminent in many ways, and particularly
with reference TO camp sites and or
ganization Of supplies and transports-
ton.
The vitality Of the association was
indicated by the election Of i39 new
members. Of whom ffty-six came from
Buffalo and twenty-three from Staten
Island Since the recent convention Of
the association, held at Long Beach, at
which Alfred II. Wagg, of Malverne,
Long Island was elected president, tne
membership IN the organization has
nearly doubled. This membership has
almost all come from upstate, but
there have also been important aces
sion from the metropolitan district.

City Club Favors
Passage of Fertig's
Torrens Measure
Proposed Amendments
Were Carefully Studied
by Special Committee
Letter of Support Filed
Says Changes Will Greatly
Enhance Usefulness of
Present Law

The City Club filed on Thursday with
Assemblyman Pratt, chairman of the
Assembly's Judiciary Committee, a
memorandum in support Of the bill in
troduced by Assemblyman Fertig to
strengthen and extend the operation Of
the Torrens system Of title registra-
tion in this state.
For some time a special committee
of the club, under the leadership Of
Moses Altman, has been studying the
Torrens law and the proposed amend
ments. As q result of the conferences
with the Real Estate Board, representa-
tives Of the title companies and the
officials in the Registers office, the
committee came to the conclusion that
the Fertig bill, if passed, will greatly
enhance the usefulness and workability
of the present law.
In its letter fled in Albany by Walter
T, Arndt, its legislative secretary, the
club says in part:
More specifically, the club advocates
those provisions in regard 10 the sim
plifcation Of court procedure and
shortened time and reducing the ini-
tial cost; it is believed that If these
amendments are made the law will be
more frequently availed Of, the matter
of expense in particular now being an
important consideration. As to the cor
stitutionality Of the new procedure. the
club feels that the courts have declared
similar procedure constitutional. See
Tyler VS.. Judges, 175 Massachusetts II;
American-London Company VS.. Zeiss,
PIG L. S. AZ.
"The club also approves of the
amendment in regard TO the eXamlna
ton Of title which seeks to make the
examiner an officer of the court rather
than an employee of an applicant for
registration of title. In other words,
this amendment would substitute for
the private and unofficial examiner, who
is actually no more than the applicants
attorney, a salaried employe Of the
Register or County Clerk taken from
the civil service list, clothed with
the general powers of a referee. Such
examiners would be officers Of the
court, and under its jurisdiction, rather
than employees OF the owners.
an the third place, the club favors
the amendments which seek 10 place
the state or county behind the assur-
ance fund. This feature is strongly
recommended because of the fact that
the fund as thus guaranteed would be
an obviously attractive feature 10 the
land owner, and incline the layman in
favor of the registration of his title
The experience Of other states IS that
the losses have been small and there
has been an accumulation of the fund.
As the amendments provide that the
moneys accumulated shall 90 into the
general fund for the reduction of taxa
ton. the county would get the benefit
Of the accumulation, while at the same
time it would become subject TO very
slight losses"

WASHINGTON. Nov 13.-Thirty-
one miltants with banners appeared
before the White House again late to-

spectators was not so good humored
as those that have watched most of the
other demonstrations recently, and
the banners of ten women were torn
from them before the police took
charge.
The women refused to furnish bonds
and were taken 10 the house Of deten-
ton TO await trial tomorrow.
They had been arrested yesterday
for picketing the White House. but
when the cases were called in court
to-day they were adjourned until
Friday.
Through their attorney. Dudley f..
Malone, the militants asked the local
supreme court to-day for writs Of
habeas corpus TO compel the superin-
tcndent Of the workhouse TO produce
Alice Paul and Rose Winslow. the two
hunger strikers. in court. so the a.tor-
neys may confer with them.
The court ordered that the Jail su-
1orinfeldent be instructed - permt
Mr.. Malone to see the women. If per.
mission was refused the judge said he
would issue the writ.
