Khow.s How It Simplifies all Heal?
ings With I .?n?I tO us to Fucl'Uatc
It* Transfer or Um Vm as tlie Bn
sie of Credit.
The system or registering title to
land was introduced first in the pro?
vince of South Australia l?y Robert K.
Torrens. a member of the llrst Colon?
ial ministry of that proxtnce. The
method of dealing with land provided
for in the act which wan passed by
the Colonial Parliament in 1838 be?
came known as the "Torrens system."
Its purpose was to simplify all deal?
ings with land so as to facilitate its
transfer or Its use as the basis of cred?
it
Agalnt the present system of deal?
ing with land are urged these objec?
tions:
1. Expense. The cost of the ab?
stract or title and the opinion of
counsel thereon upon every transrer
of land and the costs of copying and
recording the necossary paper.
t. l>elay. From a week to sev?
eral months may be spen in procur?
ing en abstract on account or the ne?
cessity or examining deed.*, Hens, etc.
of tilling gaps In the chain of title,
and of negotiating as to defects found
by the attorney making the examina?
tions.
3. Insecurity. Errors often exist
In the ?bst tact and In the opinion of
counsel thereon. There is a constant
danger of loss to owners through
claims undiscoveruble by tiny investi?
gation.
I. The vast amount or useless la?
bor expended upon the repeated ex?
amination ot the same chain ot title
upon every transaction.
S. The constantly lengthening
chain of deeds to be examined increas?
es the expense, delay, and insecurity.
These delects operute as a per?
petual tax upon the holder of land
and make It notoriously u "slow" as?
set.
The distinctive feature of the Tor?
rens system is that instead ot regis?
tering instruments uh evidence or title
It determines and llxes the ownership
of the title to lund. The State, througn
a court of competent jurisdiction,
make* a public examintaion or the
title, and votes and certitles to an in?
defeasible ||tle to an estate or Interest
in land. Aft r the land is once reg?
istered all past transactions need not J
be further investigated, and the con?
stant examination of the title from
the Crown grant down, which Is neces-i
car) now every time the property is
dealt with, becomes unnecessary.
How Titles are Registered.
To register a title under the Tor?
rens syst? in a petition is made to the,
court by the p. rson claiming to own
the land. The court may be one of
the existing courts of the State or
a court espc.-ialy < reated to determine
cases of thU kind. In Massachu?
setts, for can mpic, a specially consti?
tuted Land Court, with headquarters
In I'.oston. heals and determines Tor?
rens cases for the State of Massachu?
setts. The petition to the court Is ac?
companied by an abstract showing the
. ondltlon of the title and must contain
a full description or the Inad to be
registered. The names and addressee
ot all persons who may be Interested
In the land, Including adjoining own?
ers and occupants, must be given. In
each county where the system Is in
force the eourt appoints one or more
examiners or title. The petition with
the act ojnpan> um papers is referred

In Massachusetts the original Oer?
tificute of title contains a copy of the
decree of the court und subsequent
transfer certificates refer to the or d?
inal.
On each certificate of title is a
apace for columns with proper head
tng for memoranda of encumbran :es
of the land:
Document Xo. Kind, Renewing in

registration. Signature of registrar.!
Discharge.
Certificates are numbered consecu?
tively and the numbers are retained
as long as the boundaries remain un?
changed.
The original certificate of title is
filed by the registrar of titles in his
office and he Issues to the owner a
"duplicate owner's certlllctae," Which
is an exact copy of the original. Tie
issuance of this certificate completes
the registration. Upon the receipt ol
this certificate the applicant contrib?
utes to An indemnity or insuran e
fund one-tenth of 1 per cent or :>1
on eacb $ 1,000. This fee is payable
only upon first registration. The fund
thus created may be invested in State
or federal bonds or other securities by
the official who has it In charge ai d
it is to be used to indemnify any per?
son who sustains loss or damage by
reason of mistakes or defects in t*te
registration.
Safe After Fixed Period.
After the expiration of a certain
period, usually two years, from the
date of the first registration, no per?
son, whatever may be his claim, may
question the validity of the title. In
other words, any person who may
have been interested but who was not
notified of the application of regis?
tration may within this time have an
opportunity to establish the validity
of his cluim. Failure to establish an
adverse claim within this time forever
bars it.
In dealings subsequent to registra?
tion it Is provl 'ed In the acts of this
country that any forms of deeds,
nmrtgages, leases, or other instru*
mcnts which are sulllclent under ex?
isting laws for the purpose intended
may be used in dealing with registered
land. The acta provide that leases for
a certain numbei of years, usually
three years or less, in Massachusetts
seven or less, shall not be the subject
of registration.
If the owner desires to sell the
land, he draws a deed convoying it In
the usual form. The deed is filed by
i
the registrar in his office, the du
plicate owner s certificate is surrend?
ered and cancelled, and a new cer?
tificate issued to the purchaser with
notes or memoranda on it showing!
the exact state of the title
If the property is to be mortgaged,
a mortgage is executed in the usual
form, is filed in the registrar office
and a memorandum of it is made up?
on the original certificate and upon
the owner's duplicate certificate in
tho columns provided for that, pur
pose and another copy of the eerti
ficate plainly marked "Mortgagee's
duplicate'' may be issued to the mort?
gagee. When the mortgage is paid,
the mortagee's duplicate is surrender?
ed and cancelled and proper entries
showing this are made upon the mort?
gage, upon the original, and upon the
ov tier's duplicate certificate.
All matter* affecting the title
must, under this system be filed in
the office of the registrar and be
noted upon the original and duplicate
certificates, both of which will thus
show at any time the exact state of
the title and all the liens against it.

In a bill proposed by a committee
of the North Carolina liar associa
lion 111 1912, the fees allowed were
very much less than the above and j
the total cost of an original registra?
tion exclusive of fees to sheriffs ami
clerks, which were to be the same
as allowed in other special proceed?
ings, would not exceed $6.50 for a
piece of property assessed at less
than $5,000. This docs not include
the payment of the insurance fund of
one-tenth of 1 per cent of the value
of the property, in most States the
cost of registration is about the same
as the minimum charge now made by
attorneys for making each abstract of
title. The fees for registering sub?
sequent transfers, mortgages, etc. are
from $1 to $3.
As stated before, the Torrens sys?
tem was adopted in South Australia
in 1858. Torrens himself carried the
act into operation and more than one
thousand titles were registered dur- j
ing the first two years. The prospects i
of the system were so promising that
other colonies soon adopted similar
acts?Queensland in 1861, New South
Wales, Vic uia and Tasmania in
1862, New Zealand in 1870, Western
Australia in 1874, Fizi in 1876, and
British New Guinea in 1889.
in England a Land Registry act was
passed in 1862, but the results ac?
complished under it were unsatisfac?
tory, so that it was repealed in 1875
and its place taken by the "Land
Transfer Act of 1875," commonly
known an Lord Cairn's Act, which
was sirnlliar in nature to the Torrens
system. This act was amended in
1897 and registration in England is
now conducted under the two acts.
These acts apply to England and
Wales and registration is voluntary,
except in the county of London, in?
cluding the city of Lordor, where
since 1902 registration of titles upon
sales has been compulsory. In Ire?
land registration ll compulosry, as
to all property sold under the "Pur?
chase of Land Acts" and voluntary
as to all other property.
Similar Systems in Europe.
In Germany and Continental Eu?
re; c systems of registration of title
essentially iamilar to the Torrens sys?
tem have been in operation for a long
time?in some of the Australian
provinces for upwards of ninety
years.
The Torrens system has been in?
troduced in practically all of the
Canadian provinces and in nearly all
of them registration is compulsory as
to till lands sold by the crown and
voluntarily as to all other lands. In
some districts more than 90 per cent
of all the lands are registered.
In the United States the State of
Illinois was the first to adopt the
system by the passage of the Torrens
title bill In 189 5. This act was de?
clared unconstitutional by the Su?
preme court on the ground that it
conferred judicial powers on the reg?
istrar, who ll a ministerial otliccr. It
was amended in 1897 in such a way
as to remove the constitutional ob?
jections and under the county local
option provision of the bill has been
in force in Cook County, which in?
cludes Chicago, ever since. The hold?
ing of the court in this Illinois case
has made it necessary in this county
that the procedure in initial registra?
tion should be had in court, though
at verai cases have held that subse?
quent registration may be made by
the registrar. In any questionable
act, however, he must report the mat?
ter to the court for its decision.
Adopted by Other States,
(ither States which have adopted
the system are California, 1897; Mas?
sachusetts, 1898; Minnesota, 1901;
Colorado, 190S; Washington, 1907;
New York, 1108. Ex-President Taft,
when Governor of the Philippines
Introduced the system in the islands
In 1902. following largely the Mas?
sachusetts law, making it compulsory
as to all public lands sold by the gov?
ernment and voluntary as to all other
lands. The system was Introduced
into Hawaii in 190.'!.
Tbc acts which have been adopted
In this country generally contain a lo?
cal option provision by which the
act becomes operative in a county or
district only upon a favorable vote of
the people of the county at an elec?
tion on which the question is submit?
ted. In all the States the system ex?
ists side by side with the present sys?
tem ami registration Is, so far, vol?
untary as to all lands, i. e., the own
er may have his land registered or
not as be sees tit. What progress
has been made by the system has been
made on its merits, and In spite of the
organised and strenuous opposition
of abstract and title guarantee com*
panics.

CONVICT CHARGES CONSPIRACY.
Former Attorney Says Judge Landis,
Government Attorney and Others
Conspired Against Him.
Chicago, Sept. 11.?Charges of
criminal conspiracy were filed in the
United States district court today
against Federal Judge K. M. Landis,
Assistant District Attorneys Blwod O.
Qodman and Harry A. Parkin and Mr.
and Mrs. L. C. Silver. The charges
were made by Attorney Hyman Ep?
stein and were based on the affidavits
of Max Gerber, a convict of Fort
Leavenworth, made while ESpstein was I
serving a 15 months' sentence for per- ,
jury committed before Judge Landis.
The charges were made In Judge
Landis* court by Epstein, who intro?
duced an affidavit while pleading for
a return of his right as attorney to
practice in the United States court.
Epstein charged that he had been
sent to prison on the strength of a
conspiracy by Judge Landis, the two
government attorneys and Mr. and
Mrs. Silver.
Epstein represented the Silvers in
a bankruptcy proceeding. Silver con?
fessed to perjury and gave testimony
which lesulted in his and Epstein's
sentence to the federal penitentiary.
Gerber, who was a cell mate of Sil- ?
ver, stated in his affidavit that Silver j
had told him that his testimony,
which sent Epstein to prison, was|
false.
Epstein revealed the fact that as a
clerk at the mail department of the
prison he had read all of Silver's let?
ters to and from his wife. He aroused
Judge Landis' wrath when he read
from a note book quotations from a
letter from Mrs. Silver. Turning to
District Attorney Wilkerson, Judge
Landis .said:
"For your information, I will say, I
will never again send a prisoner from
' this court to any penitentiary where a
I man's private letters are no: kept from
I the Inspection of the other prisoners."

NEW HOOK. FOR BHKRITO
Dcp ity Sheriff Jolui F.pperson De?
vi-it's Hook for Keeping Better Olliee
R -cord.
Deputy Sheriff John D. Epperson,
besides running after criminals and
arresting them, shooting negroes
who l they try to get away from him,
collecting more taxes than any other
shrbcalty officer has ever succeeded i
in collecting, and doing stunts in line
of his duty and elsewhere, has taken
time off to devise a new book for the
sheriff*! office which in future as?
sures a better record of tax execu?
tions in that office than has ever been
kept before in the older record books.
The book ha;, been ordered by the
county from Walker, Evans and Cogs?
well of Charleston and will be here in
time for the collection of taxes next
season. Tho county commissioners
have agreed to pay for it and probably
think it a good thing for the county
or they would not have agreed to
spend the money.
The new book is an improvement
on the old one in that it provides
space for a much more detailed list
of pioperties than the old one, which
was ordered and which has been in
use since 1909. The old record book
merely provides a space for the total
amot nt of properties on which execu?
tions are taken, not giving any space
for any of the details which save
much time and trouble in the office,
when those against whom tax execu?
tions have been issued come to pay
their taxes. The new book devised
by Deputy Epperson, provides col?
umns or spaces, in which each item of
taxes is kept separate. Of course it
is more work for the sheriff's office
to er list the details, when he first
gets he executions from the county
treasurer, but thereafter he is as?
sured much less trouble in finding
out j rst what taxes have been paid
Bad what have not been paid.
Th old book merely listed taxes in
a lump sum. The new book gives
spacer for real estate, personal prop?
erty, Jog tax, road tax, and poll tax,
using the same spaces heretofore used
for si eriff's costs, collection costs and
treasi rer's cost, etc.
The new method saves time and
trouble in that after the executions
are listed in it, each article stands
out separately and in case the person
wants to pay any one set of taxes, it
is rigln there in alphabetical order,
witho it the trouble of going back to
the original tax executions each time.

JAPS DEMAND APOLOGY.
( hi.in Now * oiisblering Ultimatum
?Must I 'ay Iiiileniiiit.v and Punish
Those Responsible Tor Insult.
Peking, Sept. 11.?President Yuan
Shi Kai and his adv'sers have taken
under consideration the demands
made by the Japanese government
which are tantamount to an ulti?
matum, for the killing of three Japan?
ese at Nanking, the maltreatment of
a consular messenger the torture of
a Japanese lieutenant It Hankow and
the imprisonment for two u^ys of a
Japanese lieutenant at Shang Tung,
Japan demands an apology for the in?
sults to the Japanese flag, the punish?
ment of those responsible and the
payment of an indemnity, the amount
of which is to be argued later.
The Japanese legation says that the
demands represent the minimum to
which China must agree without de?
lay; otherwise Japan will take what
action isr deemed necessary. A mem?
ber of the legation stand privately
today that if the terms were known
at Tokyo the people would consider
tht.t the government had betrayed its
trust and sacrificed the nation's hon?
or.
Nanking reports that Cen. Chang
Hsan, commander of the imperial
forces there, and his soldiers will not
permit the Chinee flag to be flown,
but only a red flag with Chang Hsun's
name inscribed thereon. For many
months reports have been current tnat
Chang Hsun held monarchist views
and there were even reminders that
he intended to proclaim himself em?
peror. His present attitude, however,
may be largely due to the rebuke
wh:ch Yuan Shi Kai administered to
hint in a public telegram after the
looting of Nanking.
It is understood that one of the
Japanese demands is for a public
apology from Chang Hsun at the Jap?
anese consulate.
Japan's demands, growing out of
the killing of several Japanese at
Nanking, were presented to the Chi?
nese government today. Though de?
tails regarding the nature of the Jap?
anese note were not available suffi?
cient was gleaned to know that the
demands were tantamount to an ulti?
matum.
An apology, an indemnity and the
punishment of the guilty soldiers and
oilicials at Nanking are demanded and
the Chinese are required to accept
the terms without delay and without
any bartering.
