(] 12 DEEDS' OFFICE CHANGES PROPOSED Efficiency Bureau Would Put Recorder Under District Government. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. Legislation which will bring the office of recorder of deeds under the District government s contained in 22 recommendations by the Bureau of Efficiency, covering reorganization of the recorder’s office in the interests of economy and efficiency, by which the ht current, where rk can be bre now it is 15 months in arrears, and t by which a saving of §30,000 a year can be made Five recommendations are made regarding the office of register of wills which contemplate a change in the method of handling and accounting for the receipts of the office, in the method of recording and simplifica tion of the method of indexing, which the Bureau of Efficiency claims will safeguard the handling of cash, effect a saving in personnel and speed up recording, with a net saving of $5,000 the first year and $10,000 annually thereafter. A detaiied study of these two offices was made at the request of Chairma Madden of the House appropriutions mittee and Chairman Zihiman of the House District committee in con- nection with abolishing the fee sys- tem of supporting these offices and bringing them under the budget s unnual appropriations. Copies ven to Officials. Copies of the report have been transmitted D. Brown, chief of iciency. 1o Representatives M nd Zihlman, to the District Commissioners, the Bureau of the Budget, the recorder of deeds and the register of wills. Chairman Gibson of the special sub committee of seven members of the House District committee, which is rouking a special investigation of the municipal administration has asked for ¢ of the report This report is especially timely, a now questioning Dis- garding the delinquen in recording de and why it is necessary for property purchasers in every instance to be obliged to engage the services of a title guarantee com Mr. Gibson trict officials Is pany. He has been told that the big: gest cause of trouble has been that the work of ding deeds is 15 months in arrears. The report on the office of the re- corder of deeds contain: section cov- aring the functions, organization and personnel of the office; the Bureau of Efficiency’s recommendations; its es tmates for appropriations for the cal year 1928; the draft of a bill to transfer the office to the government the District of Columbia: a section vering its legislative hisi and a statement of the present organization and methods of the office. Office is Independent. It is pointed out that *“thé office of the recorder of dee the present time is not hed to and forms no ist part of the government, nor s it a part of any courtnor of any Federal department or establishment It 18 an unattached office, self;support- ng, and is without admir tive supervision except by the recorder himself The 22 recommendations contemplate « change in the method of recording and indexing land records and m cellaneous _instruments; the discon- tinuance of some activities: the reas ertain functions in the of the laws signment of office, and the amending pertaining to the offi Mr. Brown £ays that if the bureau’s recommenda- tions carried into effect they will bring the work of the office current in & short time, reduce the expense of maintenance and result in better service to the public. Mr. Brown stresses particularly two recommendations. One of these pro- vides that printed forms be used on which to record land records and other cellaneous instruments re quired by law to be recorded iu this office. This method Is now used in a number of clties throughout the nited States and in those offices vis- d by the Bureau of Efficiency’s in tgato Detroit, Cleve: , Plts| ] m, New York, Philadelph: d Baltimore—it was f printed forms tep between the records by type- nd the record: ie photostat found that the use is an_intermedial recording of land writer in bound bool ing of land mecords by machine. Favors Photostatic Method. The other most important recom- mendation provides for the introduc- yon of the photostatic method of re- cording in the office of the recorder of deeds as soon as a new building is ready for use by that office, unless legislative action should be taken to put_this process of recording into im- mediate operation. The Bureau of Yfficlency does not recommend that the photustatic process be immediate- v adopted, owing largely to the phy alcal arrangement of the building in which the office of the recorder of deeds Is housed Mr. Brown says that if the bureau's ons are adopted and put recommend: into effect will result in a saving during the first year of more than $20,000. When the photostatic method is introduced this saving will be aug- mented by a further sum of about $10,000 annually The first of the five recommenda tions for the register of w " office provides for the introduction of pho. tostatic recording in that office. This method of recording, in the opinion of the Bureau of Efficlency, Mr. Brown says, is particular] work and ther ists In the office of reco: for postponing its introduction. If the five recommendations made for the office of register of wills by the Bureau of E ney are adopted and carried out, Mr. Brown says, they will result in the saving of $5,000 dur- ing the first and about $10,000 annually thereafter. The introduc- tion of photostatic recording in this office will reduce the personnel by six, effecting a saving of $9,000 in sal arfes. The miscellaneous expense item, however, will need to be in- creased by $4.000 in order to provide for the purchase of the machine and necessary equipment, thus making the net saving $5,000 for the first year.

This the first activity of Bergen in the trial. Tt was at his request that he warrant was issued for the arrest of Mrs. Hall, and Simpson was ap- pointed special pgosecutor shortly thereafter. The day closed with the most heated verbal exchange of a turbulent trial for counsel. During the testimony of Bogart T.

THE SUNDAY S8TAR, WASHINGTON, D. C 'HALL NOTES BARING ARDENT LOVE READ TO MURDER JURY The ;prosecution had alluded during the testimony of Miss Agnes W. Storer, organist of the church where Mr. Hall was rector, to “witnesses who are not hostile, but certainly not friendly to the State, since they are friends of one of the defendants.” Miss Storer, who has been organist of the church for more than 20 years, testified_that on Friday night after Mr. Hall had left home Thursday night and had failed to return, Mrs. Hall had telephoned her that the min- ister would not be at the choir re- hearsal as he was “out of town. The State elicited the information from the witness that she accom panied Mrs. Hall to Italy, as her guest, after the slayings. William J. Grealls told of “spots on clothing of Willie Stevens carried by the witness to a tajlor the day after the bodies were found. Another automobile was located by William S. Randall, a rural mail car- rier, near De Russey’s lane about midnight on the night of the slay- ings. He described it as a “Dodge sedan with lights out and curtains up.” Cross-examined briefly, the mail carrier said he might have passed other automobiles, but did not re- member them. Chauffeur-Gardener Testifles. Peter Tumulty, who filled the dual role of chayffeur and gardener among the Hall sdrvants, told of “banking celery” in the rear of the Hall home the day after the discovery of the bodies, but positive that he did not wash the sedan.

EXPERTS DISCUSS RURAL PROBLEMS Inform President of Views and Hear Reports on Euro- pean Conditions. International rural problems were discussed last night by prominent agricultural authorities at a banquet at the Willard Hotel which formally closed the conference on rurallife conditions sponsored by the American Country Life Association and attend- ed by representatives from colleges and farm bureaus all over the country. arlier in the day the association submnitted a formal report to Presi- dent Coolldge, stating that the crux of the farm problem lay in the “qual- ity of the people” who live on the farms and urging closer co-operation between urban and rural communities Reclamation projects in rural Europe were desecribed by Dean A.

' Farm boys of Europe are just be- ginning to experience educational lib- erty, declared Charles Josiah Galpin of the Department of Agriculture, who has made an extensive survey of rural conditions in foreign countries. He explained that in many sections of Europe tillers of the soil must learn problems of statesmanship as well as of agriculture. Making motion pictures adaptable for use in foreign countries, especially films dealing with improved methods of agriculture, is one of the projects now being undertaken by the United States, declared Carl Ellas Milliken, former Governor of Maine, who stated that 80 per cent of the pictures shown in the world are filmed in the United States.

The Federal Trade Commission in motions filed yesterday asked the Su- preme Court of the District of Colum- bia to dismiss the petition flied re- sently by the Royal Baking Powder Co. to compel the commission to turn yver to the court various records in proceedings brought by the Federal Trade Commission against the com- pany involving charges of engaging in unfair competitive trade practices. Arguments on the motions will be heard Friday before Chief Justice McCoy. In seeking to bring about the dis- missal of the petition, which the com- mission’s motion says “is bad in sub- stance,” the commission say that “to quash the procesding at any stage prior to the issuance of an order to cease and désist, if in the judgment of the court it should be quashed, Would prevent the commission from proceeding to exercise the functions authorized by the statute.” and “would be an unwarranted interfer- ence by the courts with the legislative and executive branches of the Gov- ernment.” “No court,” the ymmission con- tinues in its motions, “is vested with jurisdiction to review or set aside any order of the Federal Trade Commis- sion under section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission act except a final order to cease and desist from the se of unfair methods of competi- | G.

Each had inaugurated stirring drives, but only to see them end far from the scoring zone through a stif- fening of the opposition or by reason of a fumble or misplay. Thus when the “Irish,” shortly after the third period kick-off, lined up on their own vard stripe, none in the monster throng anticipated what was then to occur. Christy Is Sensation. The signal called for black-haired Christy Flanagan to shoot for the sup- posed strong point of Army’s mighty line—the tackle position filled by the giant Cadet tackle, Bill Sprague, There was the threat of a pass and the threat of a play on the opposite side of the line by the cleveracting Notre Dame backfield, and Christy had only such help as might come from his linemen to carry throbgh his gnment. For a moment, as he reached the line of scrimmage, there was indica- tion he would go no farther, for while Sprague had _been turned in toward the center, Christy collided with the Cadet and seemed about to sprawl to the ground. But his limbs kept churning and he ricocheted off the big Army man and on toward the Cadet secondary defense section, pa- trolled by “Lighthorse Harry” Wilson. And while the Cadets hesitated, not knowing just where or how to meet him, Christy put on steam, tore past them as the Twentieth Century Lim- ited tears past Squashville and went whizzing on toward the last white stripe on Army’s end of the field. Some of his mates, anticipating his journey. had come through on the other side of the line and they prompt- ly formed perfect protection for the runner, both before and behind, while he journeyed on to the game-winning score. Another real son of Erin, 0'Boyle by name, contributed the point following touchdown and, although it was not known at the time, the scoring for the day ended. TIGERS WIN LAST TITLE. 10-to-7 Victory Over Yale Rings Down Curtain on Big Three. PRINCETON, N. J., November 13 (#).—Princeton conquered Yale in the final act of the “Big Three” drama with a spectacular aerial thrust into a somber November sky here today, o 7. Two daring overhead drives in the second period swept the Tigers to their sensational triumph over the embattled ranks of Blue as the cur. tain fell on foot ball's historic Yale- Harvard-Princeton series, With its victory, Princetony reaped also ite second successive champlonship in the triumvirate, for the Tigers vanquished l'fal‘\'&rd a week aga in what later was to mark the closing chapter o1 athletic relations between the Crim 50;\ alml ;he Tiger. n its farewell triumph of t 2 campaign before a throng orhgsfihe Princeton’s brightest gridiron lumi- nary of the last three years failed to shine. Jake Slagle, hero of Prince. ton’s march to “Big Three” honors a year ago, nursed an injured knee on the sidelines as his teammates marched to victory. Today it was Earl Baruch In the sky-pilot role for Old Nassau, and so ably did he fill the shoes of the famous Slagle tha Yalo was completely bewildered by the shower of passes which rained from overhead in Princeton’s smash- ing offensive. uch was the outstanding fgure in Princeton’s hurricane dashes, fiing. ing the long forwards which brought the first touchdown by Caulkins, and later booting a fleld goal for the Tiger's winning margin. Ten of the eleven passes which he shot over the Yale line were completed in one of the most remarkable displays of aerial foot ball this season. Fighting with traditional bulldog aggressiveness, Yale four times threatened the Princeton goal line. but the Blue only once could bring forth the offensive punch required to push the pigskin across. They Wear It Well. There is no corn color exchange on fashion’s market, for if this shade is becoming to you you will never ex- change it for another. Needless to say, however, not every woman can wear it. Striking brunettes or blondes with truly gold hair are the ones who assume this tone to best advantage.

The tem- thermocouple is how it is possible to determine whether the heat radiation which causes the weak current re- corded by the galvanometer comes from Mars or from innumerable out- side sources. This was explained at the Bureau of Standards as follows 1. The current is set up only by radiant heat, such as would be sent out by.a light-giving body, such as a star, a candle or a chunk of red-hot |tron. 2. The instrument first is set on the open sky, and any current re- corded on the galvanometer noted. 3. It is then set on Mars, and cor- rectlons are made for the effects which have been noted from the open sky. In this way the final result is due to the actual heat radiations of the particular section of the planet chosen for observation. The extreme sensitiveness of the in- strument is illustrated by the fact that in his latest observations Dr. Coblenz noted numerous warm and cold spots as he went over the surface of the planet, as a radfo fan might experi- ment with his dial. The cold spots, he explains, are the result of clouds pass- ing over the face of Mars—only 43, 000,000 miles away. This provides additional evidencé that there are clouds on Mars, and clouds Indicate atmosphere and water. Dr. Coblenz will get to work at once on his figures, and expects within u} few days to calculate just how warm | it 1s on Mars as indicated by the heat radiation records. The work at Flagstaff was carrled on in co-operation with Dr. C. O. Lampland of the Lowell Observatory. This observatory is especially devoted to the study of Mars.
