TORRENS LAW IS DEFECTIVE, SAY BANKERS ORANGE COUNTY ASSOCIATION CHARY OF LOANING MONEY ON LANDS SO 'REGISTERED FOUR BILLS PENDING IN LEGISLATURE DESIGNED TO BOLSTER UP THE NEW SYSTEM Orange county ranchers were among the first to begin registering their lands under the new Torrens land law, and Anaheim appears to be the center of activity among them—at least the first registrations, and a majority of them, have been made from this neighborhood. But there appears to be a defect in the law. Four bills have been introduced into the senate seeking to strengthen it, or bolster it up, but as the law was an initiative measure, adopted by a vote of the people, it will require another appeal to the voters before its provisions can be changed. Furthermore the Orange county Bankers' association recently adopted resolutions declaring that the members would not loan money on Torrens' titles, unless accompanied by abstracts, and a copy of these resolutions is posted in nearly every bank in the county. The resolution, which has attracted attention throughout the state and which has served to bring the legality The reasons given by the Orange county bankers and other investors, who are familiar with the law, for this attitude is that the measure is so imperfectly drawn as to cast serious doubt upon the legal construction to be given to its many and complicated sections, and, furthermore, that the Torrens certificate issued by the registrar is not and cannot be final and conclusive, but is open to attack in the future; that as men occupying a position of trust of the highest nature toward their depositors, and being strictly accountable for the use of the money deposited with them by the public, they will not gamble with the public funds with which they are entrusted, in spite of the intimidating letters received from the so called Torrens advocates, who are not content with running their own business, but demand that they likewise determine the policy of the savings banks and trust companies of this state. "The threatening letters having failed to frighten the banks, an effort is now being made to accomplish this end by resorting to the legislature and having enacted a criminal statute to compel the banks, loan companies or any individual who may be fortunate as to have saved a sufficient sum to invest in real estate, to accept a Torrens certificate, or subject himself to fine or imprisonment. It was indeed, fitting that a communication advocating a measure of this kind should have been mailed to us on Lincoln's birthday." ORANGE COUNTY NOTES Jap Seeks Damages:— W. A. Wood is defendant in two suits for damages. In one case, G. Matsunga, a Jap as guardian for T. Matsunaga, aged 4, asks $2500. The complaint alleges that on November 21,1916, the 4-year-old child stood on the street, when Wood in an automobile came along and swung far to the right and off of the usual course of travel, and ran down the child, whose tool house on Almo thief effected entrailing the glass in a wind sash.

Furthermore the Orange county Bankers' association recently adopted resolutions declaring that the members would not loan money on Torrens' titles, unless accompanied by abstracts, and a copy of these resolutions is posted in nearly every bank in the county. The resolution, which has attracted attention throughout the state and which has served to bring the legality and practicality of the new title scheme more than ever into question, reads as follows: "Whereas, the provisions of the land title law approved at the general election of November 3, 1914, are new and untried and are of uncertain legality until the Supreme Court of the State of California has passed upon them; and Whereas, some parcels of land have been registered under the provisions of said acts and it is reported other owners are contemplating registering their titles; and Whereas, such property so registered may be offered to the banks of Orange county as securities for loans or credits. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Orange County Bankers Association that certificates of title issued in accordance with the provisions of said act, which is known as the Torrens Title law, will not be accepted as evidences of title by the banks belonging to this association unless also accompanied by an unlimited certificate of title made by a responsible abstract or title company, and Be it resolved that a copy of these resolutions be given the papers for publication." In a lengthy comment on the Torrens law and the bills introduced by administration legislators seeking to force it on the people, "The Financial News" has this to say: "Under this date (Lincoln's birth day) we are in receipt of a letter from the "Uplift" Association, calling upon us to circulate a petition among our friends and neighbors, urging the members of the legislature from our district to vote for and support Senate bills Nos. 628, 791, 792 and 793. The purpose of these bills is set forth in the following language in the proposed petition which was mailed us: "The they (the above bills) will put an end to the publicity campaign and bank discriminations against the Torrens land title act. Fortunate, indeed are the American people that during these trying times there is still alive in the hearts of our citizens that spirit of liberality and freedom that was so truly exemplified in Lincoln. We have been very busy about our own affairs, and so we may not be informed upon the subject but..." purpose of these bills is set forth in the following language in the proposed petition which was mailed us: "They (the above bills) will put an end to the publicity campaign and bank discriminations against the Torrens land title act. "We have been very busy about our own affairs, and so we may not be well informed upon the subject, but it appears to us that the only 'publicity' campaign that is being conducted is under the sole direction of the advocates of the Torrens law, who have been beseeching our friends and neighbors to be saved from all past and present iniquities and cleansed forever in the future by that God-given act, the Torrens law, which we are advised in the above mentioned letter 'is wholly in the interest of all the people.' How much lighter the burdens of Lincoln would have been if these unselfish souls had lived in '61! The Torrens law, no doubt, would have freed the slaves, brought the rebellious states back into the Union with flying foot steps, headed by playing bands. There would have been no Gettysburg—no Appomattox. "We have set forth during the past few weeks, in the limited space we can allow such matters, some of our objections to the Torrens law. We prepared these articles after a reasonably careful study of the law in this and other states. We have been interviewed by various proponents of the Torrens measure, and up to the present time none of our statements concerning the law have been seriously challenged, nor have we had our attention called to any interpretation of the act which has led us to change our opinion of it or to advise the investing public accordingly. As to the 'bank discrimination' referred to, we have been advised that the banks in Orange county, as a whole, have gone on record as refusing to accept Torrens certificates as evidence of title in making loans, and that they have so advised their customers. We are further advised from well informed sources that the bankers, with few exceptions throughout the state, have taken, individually, in an informal manner, a like position. The barracas and out of the way places on the oil leases are filled with the old cables and wire lines that have lain in a heap there for years. The junk men are pulling the lines out, winding them on spools and shipping them to San Pedro. Junk dealers are paying a good price for the discarded lines, and when questioned on the matter stated that the old lines are to be shipped to Japan and China where they would be made into needles and pins. However, this explanation carries some doubts, as it is though that the government is buying the material to make great nets to trap submarines if necessary. It is known that a portion of this junk is being shipped to British Columbia. The use to which the shipments made there is not known. Old Resident Passes:— Mrs. Mariana Peralta passed away Saturday at the home of her son, V. G. Yorba, in Peralta. Her death followed a protracted illness in which her advanced age was a factor that decided the issue against her. She was 73. With her passing goes one of the pioneers and "landmarks" of Orange county. Descended from one of the early Spanish families, she was born March 2, 1844, on a ranch that is now Huntington Beach. She had lived in this county all her life, during recent years making her home near the town that now bears her name. Mrs. Peralta leaves four children and twenty grandchildren. The children are Ralph H. Peralta and V. G. Yorba of Peralta; Mrs. Joe Ames of Olive and Mrs. Phillip Farrias of Santa Monica. Thieves Steal Brass:— The city of Orange is loser by some $200 as a result of the theft of a large amount of brass fittings from the city water works last week. The fittings were taken from the Anaheim Gazette tool house on Almond avenue. The thief effected entrance by breaking the glass in a window and lifting the sash. The fittings were evidently carried some distance from the place before being loaded, as there was no evidence of a machine or wagon having been near. The fittings taken consisted of couplings, stop cocks, curb cocks, corporation cocks and drills. The thief took only a portion of the fittings which he might have secured, leaving a large quantity behind. A part of the fittings were newly purchased and had just been delivered. He Liked the Name:— Stating that he though the name of John Doe was a dandy, a crazy man accompanied Sheriff Jackson from Westminster Thursday afternoon with no remonstrance. In the morning he was returned to Norwalk, from which place he had escaped. A call was received at the office of the sheriff, stating that a man was wandering around in the vicinity of Newport, who would talk to no one and who was acting very much like a demented person. Jackson armed himself with J. L. Eells and Constable Heard and started for the tule swamps. When they found the man, he was walking around like a lost child. After several attempts, conversation with him was started. Jackson asked his name, and he replied that he did not have a name, that his position was a peculiar one in that he was a boy part of the time and a man part of the time, so that he could not have a name for use at all occasions. "Well," said the sheriff, "how would John Doe do for a name right now?" "I think that would be dandy," said THE NEW GRAND In addition to the regular program at the New Grand tonight, tomorrow and Saturday will be shown a spectacular feature entitled, "Greater New York." These wonderful pictures were produced by official permission of the New York municipal authorities for special presentation throughout the world, so that the countless thousands that cannot spare the time or the money for a personal visit to the great metropolis can see the world's greatest modern city in their own home town. These pictures show everything in New York and that is saying something. But it is true—no part of the city has been neglected—the homes of the poor and the homes of the rich—all the business centers, the famous monuments, buildings, etc. Broadway, the great "white way" by day and by night. It's all there, no pictures were ever shown that came to this city with better credentials. The newspapers all over America have declared the production without a peer from a biographical standpoint. The following opinions are from the Los Angeles papers. This great educational feature should be seen by everybody. A great man once said, "see New York before you die." The great man meant that no life was complete without a visit to the great metropolis. Los Angeles Times—A marvelously complete and interesting series of views serve to reveal New York City to us.

After several attempts, conversation with him was started. Jackson asked him his name, and he replied that he did not have a name, that his position was a peculiar one in that he was a boy part of the time and a man part of the time, so that he could not have a name for use at all occasions. "Well," said the sheriff, "how would John Doe do for a name right now?" "I think that would be dandy," said the lunatic, and went into a fit of gay laughter at the thought of it. He was brought back to Santa Ana and in the morning taken back to the aslyum at Norwalk. Newport Beach Extension:— With only four dissenting votes the territory of Newport Heights was voted into the corporate limits of Newport Beach. The total vote within the city stood 131 for, and 4 against. The vote upon the Heights was unanimous in favor of annexation. Newport Heights lies in the direct line of the 700 foot channel shown in the plans for the improvement of the harbor and adjoins the 1500 foot strip deeded by the Irvine company to that city for wharfage. Comprising 600 lots and lying upon the mesa through which the Santa Ana boulevard extends, this trace of land is regarded by all as a much desired addition to the beach city. As a residence section the newly acquired territory will present a particularly attractive site with its fertile land and commanding view of both bay and ocean. That the annexation will react to the mutual benefit of both sections there is no doubt as the people on the mesa will now have the improvements enjoyed within the city. More Torrens Registrations:— Another petition was filed Friday seeking registration under the Torrens Act. There are 33 pieces of property involved in the petition, which is filed by Attorneys Crail & Crail of Los Angeles, who have had a solicitor in the country around Anaheim seeking contracts for registering land. Recently over 80 pieces of property were registered. Owners of property sought to be registered through the petition include the following: George C. Tyler, Geo. A. Waterman, Otto J. Bergemann, Jas. H. Alford, J. A great man once said, "see New York before you die." The great man meant that no life was complete without a visit to the great metropolis. Los Angeles Times—A marvelously complete and interesting series of views serve to reveal New York City to us. Los Angeles Tribune—New York scenes shown at the Palace are remarkable. The film review of the wonderful city is a remarkable interesting affair. Los Angeles Examiner—C. Post Masons' panoramic view of the nation's greatest metropolis is without a peer from a standpoint of biographical art. No mightier or greater spectacle was ever presented. Los Angeles Express—The picture gives a glimpse of the day and night life, Coney Island, Midway and its many pleasure resorts. It is truly a cinematograph triumph. The season of Greater New York at the New Grand theatre will be four days beginning yesterday, and as great crowds are expected, patrons are advised to come early and avoid disappointment. Prices 10 and 20 cents. Splendid Show Tonight The celebrated actress, Ethel Barrymore, will be seen at the New Grand tonight in a Metro-Rome production. "The Awakening of Helen Ritchie." Miss Barrymore is one of the great stars who has lately abandoned the legitimate for the photoplay. In "The Awakening of Helena Richie," Miss Barrymore was given a free hand to work out the beauty of the story in such a way that her most earnest desires for a fine production were fulfilled. She sought to capture and present to the audiences of today the quaint charm of Old Chester in the days before the war, using it for a background against which she has re-enacted the tragedy*of a woman's soul, and the glory of rennuclation by which she finally wins real happiness. Others of Miss Barrymore's famous family who have already heeded the call and enlisted under the Metro banner are her uncle, Sidney Drey, with Mrs. Drew; her brother, Lionel Barrymore, and her cousin, S. Rankin Drew. "The Price of Happiness Another of the long list of stage favorites who have won equal popularity on the screen is Miss Mary Boland, now appearing as the star in the Equitable Motion Pictures Corporation's production of "The Price of Happiness." In 1915 the California state board of health declared its intention to reduce the typhoid fever rate from 13.6 per 100,000 population (the rate for the year 1914) to 9.6 per 100,000 population in 1918. As a matter of fact, however, this declaration was nearly fulfilled in the year 1915, when the rate was reduced to 9.7 per 100,000 population. And now, the typhoid death rate for 1916 is 7.1 per 100,000 population, lower than the board hoped it would be in 1918. If the measures employed in typhoid fever control are continued and if the same cooperation of the people of California is received, the board hopes to reduce the typhoid death rate to a point below 5.0 per 100,000 population in 1918. This may be accomplished through the prevention of sewage pollution on public and private water supplies; the insurance of safe milk supplies through the pasteurization and inspection provisions of the state milk law; investigation of outbreaks of typhoid fever, determining and removing their sources; manufacture and distribution to physicians of typhoid vaccine; inspection of hotels, eating places, sum- The young business man must tendance on the opening night when he was supposed to be out of town on business, provide an opportunity for some spirited acting. There are some gripping scenes when the wife is told that her husband's affections have been placed elsewhere, the dancing girl jilts her old admirer for the new with whom she has really fallen in love, her reading a note written to her by the wife, in which the circumstances under which the money spent for her advancement and pleasure has been obtained from her own, and not her husband's resources, are told, and the scene between the young business man and the girl when, after reading the note, she dares him to commit suicide with her, and he weakens. The pistol duel in the dark between the lover who was discarded and the one who is in favor, in which the girl is wounded by one of the men, is a scene of the most intense excitement and suspense, and the attempted reconciliation of the young man with his wife, and his starting out to regain his lost self respect and again win her love, are a fitting end for one of the most striking and soul stirring dramas ever flashed upon the screen. A STILL LOWER TYPHOID RATE In 1915 the California state board of health declared its intention to reduce the typhoid fever rate from 13.6 per 100,000 population (the rate for the year 1914) to 9.6 per 100,000 population in 1918. As a matter of fact, however, this declaration was nearly fulfilled in the year 1915, when the rate was reduced to 9.7 per 100,000 population. And now, the typhoid death rate for 1916 is 7.1 per 100,000 population, lower than the board hoped it would be in 1918.

Others of Miss Barrymore's famous family who have already heeded the call and enlisted under the Metro banner are her uncle, Sidney Drey, with Mrs. Drew; her brother, Lionel Barrymore, and her cousin, S. Rankin Drew. "The Price of Happiness" Another of the long list of stage favorites who have won equal popularity on the screen is Miss Mary Boland, now appearing as the star in the Equitable Motion Pictures Corporation's production of "The Price of Happiness," at the Grand Friday and Saturday. Miss Boland comes to the screen after a long series of dramatic triumphs under the banner of the late Charles Frohman. This thrilling drama will be given in addition to the "Greater New York" scenes. Two more reels of "Patria" will also be shown on these nights and at Saturday's matinee. Those who attend the New Grand Thursday, Friday and Saturday will get more thrills for their money than they ever received before. "Should a Wife Forgive?" Opportunities for exceptionally beautiful photography as well as scenes of absorbing interest, have been taken full advantage of in "Should a Wife Forgive?" which is the next release on the Equitable program at the New Grand and will be shown on Sunday, afternoon and night. There is a wonderful picture of a dance hall, where Lillian Lorraine as La Belle Rose, the star dancer, attracts the attention of a young business man, who is there with his two chums, one of whom is already in the meshes of the charmer. The manner in which the dancing girl holds the affections of both men is revealed in an exceedingly interesting series of illustrations, and the intrigue involved in her winning a cottage from one of the men and inducing the other to act as the "angel" of a new play in which she is to be exploited, as well as the shock to his wife when she death rate to a point below 3.0 per 100,000 population in 1918. This may be accomplished through the prevention of sewage pollution or public and private water supplies; the insurance of safe milk supplies through the pasteurization and inspection provisions of the state milk law; investigation of outbreaks of typhoid fever, determining and removing their sources; manufacture and distribution to physicians of typhoid vaccine; inspection of hotels, eating places, summer resorts and surroundings, correcting insanity conditions that may be present; enforcement of laws and of the board's regulations for the prevention of typhoid fever; and by education in the prevention of typhoid fever. If the high rate of 1906, 32.2 per 100,000 population, had prevailed in 1916, there would have been 950 deaths from this disease. There were but 208 typhoid deaths in 1916, however. In order to secure these results, it is necessary that the California state board of health shall have the active support of health officers, physicians and citizens. All of the common rules of sanitation, particularly as related to sewage disposal, water and milk supplies, must be rigidly observed. The regulations of the board for the prevention of typhoid fever should be carefully followed by physicians and health officers. With such cooperation, California may soon have one of the lowest, if not the lowest, typhoid death rates of any state.

ABOLUTELY A CASH PROPOSITION RAPID GROWTH OF KELP Additional proof to the findings of the Fish & Game Commission regarding the rapidity of restoration of the cut kelp is afforded by a report made to the Los Angeles office by Capt. Farnsworth, whose brother is in charge of one of the biggest San Diego cutting dredgers. Last June and July, the cutter under Farnsworth's direction cut over a bed near Point Loma to a depth of the usual six feet, and now the same patch was cut over again, with a larger tonnage for the second cutting, showing a complete restoration and heavier growth in about eight months' time. Capt. Farnsworth is an experienced Catalina boatman and fisherman, who for years has kept a closer watch on fish conditions than anyone on the island. He is of the opinion that cutting the kelp is a benefit by "topping" the plants, eliciting them of much storm tearing, which, of course, is mostly sustained near the surface, and compares it with certain shade trees which develop such great tops that they seldom live long, being blown over. A company in South Africa has built a plant for the manufacture of natalite, a distillation product of molasses. Experiments have shown that natalite can be used as a motor fuel. In one of the tests, a 22-horse power car covered over 500 miles using 30.59 gallons of natalite. The new plant includes necessary buildings for manufacturing 2,000,000 gallons of natalite a year, thus rendering South Africa largely independent of the world's gasoline supply.
