capped with all this infamy and
nOtOriety, and that alone should
give him q real claim upon some

HOW BOY CAN RECOUP.
All his life he must suffer the
stain Of their sins, and surely the
world would wish to see his trial
lightened bit by at least the
good start that money can give.
Russell AThaw has q chance to
live down all this i'm two ways.

such fine things that his future

Evelyn Thaw may have her
faults, but, she is sincere i'm her
love apd hopes for Russell.
MOTHERS BEAUTY GONE.
The first time / saw little Rus.
sell Thaw was in Kansas City
about eight years ago. Evelyn
was dancing at one Of the thea
tiers. / interviewed her, and met
little Russell. He was q lovely
child. She was still young and
beautiful and / could not help ad-
mir'ing her greatly as she how.
cred over him, wOrri6d to distrac.
ton over his slight cold.
The change in Evelyn Thaw
startled me when l saw her again
a year or so ago i'm her tea room.
She wore. a little wash dress.
There was a large hole i'm the
heel OF both of her stockings,
her eyes had lost their Illster, her
mouth, once attractive, was al.
most ugly now. She talked incO-
herently Of many things except
Russell. :
When / asked her about him q
bit Of the old brightness and
Beauty came back. She became
animated again and told me how
bright he Is, that the wants to be

BY FAY KING.

Every SO often the Thaw case
crops up again, and all its stencil
Z is revived anew.
No case has ever occupied more
space in public print and public
mind, and the most interesting
phase of it is the changing trend
of sympathy that runs through it.
At one time the sympathy was
all for Evelyn Nesbit, young.
beautiful and helpless linz the
hands OF a mercenary mother, a
ruthless millionaire and an insane
husband.
After Thaw had been confined
IN an asylum many years and
was about to be released, public
sympathy turned to Thaw. He
"had suffered enough" people
said, and latter all, was this girl
worth it," Hadn't she urged him
on to commit this murder, and
some sympathy was voiced for
Stanford White. One heard DeO.
pie say that this girl had been
the direct cause Of taking from
the world a great genius. a man
whose valuable art was worth
more to the world than avenging
a Maynard 0irl's honor. Thaw's
aged mother had suffered SO
much, too!
public AGAIN CHANGES.
A wave of public approval &C.
cOmpanied Thaw's release. He
was almost heralded q hero.
But no sooner did he enjoy
freedom than he committed more
atrOciOus crimes!
The world was glad to see him
returned to the asylum and
sympathy once more conferred up.
on Evelyn Tbaw.
This sympathy waned, however,
when 1t was found, she was q
drug fiend.
Now ,Thaw is trying again to
be adjudged sane and once more
freed. This time there is little
or no sympathy for him and very
little sympathy for Evelyn, but
there Is a world of sympathy for
thirteen-year-Old Russell Thaw.
Whether or not he is Thaw's son,
as Evelyn claims, matters little.
Evelyn Thaw is his mother and
she was married to Harry Thaw
when Russell was born. He is a
fine, manly looking little fellow,

That Is why there Is 80 much

we could build cheaper IN the

we would hold UP building until

When a man with d family
buys a home now or an investor

Is following the same line of rea-
son that the builders. are follow
ing; that Is. he believes that,
based on conditions generally, 1t Is
cheaper to buy now than It ever
will be again.
1T ought to be source of much

TITLE LEGALITY
BECKER'S
TOPIC
Real Estate Class Of Y.M.c.A.
Will Hear Talk on
Taxation Next

In discussing little Examina-
tons" before the reaN estate class
at the Y. M. c. A.. James ]. Becker
said that IN the early years of the
republic little attention was given
to titles. Ordinarily, the purchaser
was satisfied to accept possession as
q guarantee Of good title, and no
inquiry was made into the past and
little thought given to the future.
However, as land values increased
and evidences of title began to null
tiply, purchasers assumed more
caution and parted with their pur-
chase money only on strong asaur,
ance of title.
Purchasers Of land accept title at
their own, peril, and it is, therefore,
necessary, in the interest OF their
future holdings, that they be thor
oughly conVersant with everything
that affects the validity of the title
or estate that they purchase. This
Is particularly true of such things
as they are charged by law with
actual or constructive notice. This
demand gradually brought into ex.
istence title examiners and event
ually the organization OF corpora
tons formed for the sole purpose
of furnishing the public with reports
and opinions as to titles, based on
scientific analysis of the land rec
orls.
~Generally speaking the title com,
panies merely certify in their certifi-
cate. to the facts as disclosed unon
an examination of the title records.
However, the modern title company
can, for proper fee. issue a title
insurance policy, which is an absolute
guarantee against all defects and
affords substantially the same pro-
lection as ordinary policies of insur-
ance afford in other lines,
Outlining the importance Of the
legal instruments that convey or ef-
fect title, particularly the deed,
Becker pointed out that all deeds
should be prepared and executed in
accordance with the laws controlling
in the Jurisdiction wherein the prop.
erty conveyed is located. 1t is es-
Sential therefore that deeds convey,
ing property In the District should
be executed in strict accordance " it'll
the District Code, irrespective Of
where the actual execution takes
place. Many instances were shown
by Becker where omissions and err
rors, apparently slight in them
selves. had in later years occasioned
considerable loss of money and zine
to correct, in order to perfect the
defects that they created in ones
title.
