LEASE NOT RECORDED
WITH NOTARY VALID
District Appeals Court Rules Ac-
acknowledgement Is Not Aimed
at Protecting Grantors.

Holding that lease is valid between
the parties without acknowledgment
before notary public, the District
Court of Appeals, in an opinion by
Justice Van Orsdel, yesterday reversed a
decision of the District Supreme Court
in the appeal of the MunSey Trust Co.
which had been denied the right to
recover against Harry Alexander, Inc,
for rental of certain rooms in the Mum
sey Building.
The declaration had been filed in
covenant and the lease was attached as
an exhibit. The defendant corporation
demurred on the ground that the lease
was invalid because it had mot been
acknowledged by the leSso: corporation.
The lower court sustained the demur-
rer and the Munsey Trust Co. ap-
pealed.
Acknowledgment, the court pointed
out, is merely for the purpose of record
ing the paper for the protection of
creditors and purchasers and is essen
tial as to persons of that description,
not as to the grantor. His estate passes
out of him and vests in the grantee
and in suit between them a transfer
of property is completely executed and
would be conclusive, although never
admitted TO record nor attested by any
subscribing witness.

POLICE COURT ORDER
SET ASIDE ON APPEAL
Prior Ruling Affecting Seizure Of
Autos Under Dry Law
Is Reaffirmed.

The Court of Appeals, in an opinion
by Justice Van Orsdel, affirmed is re-
cent decision that an intervenor who
holds a mortgage on an automobile
seized for condemnation under the ma
tional prohibition law Is entitled to
prosecute an appeal from the Police
Court, and sustained the claim of the
Manufacturers Finance Co. to the re-
lease of an automobile. The judgment
OF the Police Court was reversed
An automobile salesman approached
by bootlegger to buy car recognized
that a conditional sale to him would
not be financed and substituted the
name Of another person to the contract
and the standing of that person was
passed favorably by the finance con-
Germ. When the car had been seized,
the company pleaded that the contract
was fraudulent and that the alleged
fraud was not known to 1t or to the
sales company.
The court held that its ruling in the
General Motors Acceptance Co. case
was controlling and reversed the action
of the Police Court and directed the
return Of the machine.

Distinguishing an Oil Fire.

QUITTING out q FIRE in an oil and gas wei
is accomplished sometimes by exploding
the IRE away. typical case is described in
connection with recent fire in an Oklahoma
oil field, in the extinguishing of which the
services of a Federal expert were enlisted.
Approximately "a hours were spent in pre-
paratory work The steel rig over the well
was removed by means of several wire lines.
blocks and tackle. Other equipment. such as
bull wheel, etc. was also dragged from the imme-
date vicinity of the we'll 1t was necessary to
make two cuts on the derrick with an acetylene
torch before the derrick could be moved. Pre-
parations were then made to extinguish the
fire early the following morning as it was
deemed inadvisable to risk reignition of the
fire at night. Only one water line was used
during the preparatory work, and second
water line was laid.
The next morning the wind had changed
and it was necessary to approach the well
from another direction. BY the time two new
water lines had been laid the wind had again
shifted. A successful advance was made against
the wind to the engine house. Sections Of
the latter were still standing.
The engine house served as a strategic point
of attack, and, after more debris was removed
from the vicinity of the well a 1O0-pound
charge Of gelatine dynamite was placed In q
trough consisting of two 2-inch by 12-inch
planks approximately 10 feet long. The planks
we're wrapped in corrugated iron, and the
trough was propped in place a distance ap-
proximately 8 feet horizontal and 8 feet
vertically from the master gate the
casing. One change was suffcient to extinguish
the fire.

about 30 900 items including 500 incunabula
and 10000 early American pamphlets
1t seems peculiarly appropriate that the Vol
behr collection Of incunabula can be dedicated
as memorial to the remarkably successful
regime of DR.. Herbert Putnam, who, with the
exception of a year and half, has served efn-
GENTLY as the librarian of Congress ever since
the institution moved into its present magnif-
cent home in 1897. Under his able administra-
ton the Library has been completely reorgan-
lied and developed into a national rendezvous
of knowledge, not merely for the edification of
members of Congress, but for every citizen Of
the United States. Besides, it has attracted to
washington scholars and research workers from
virtually every other nation. In truth, the
Library of Congress vies with the worlds OUT
satnding hbraries-the British Museum, the
Bibliotheque Rationale and the Vatican Library.
But these were age-old institutions before the
Library of Congress had even been dreamed Of.
