Guns from the Forts Touches His
Cap to Old Glory
NEW YORK Feb 2 Prince Hen
ry of Prussia representing his broth
er the emperor of Germany at the
launching of the kaisers American
built yacht reached New York yester
day and was cordially welcomed as
a guest of the nation The land bat
teries that guard the outer harbor
sounded the first greeting in a ponder
ous salute of twenty one guns the
rifles of a special naval squadron as
sembled in his honor re echoed the
sentiment There were verbal greet
ings from the representatives of Pres
ident Roosevelt the army the navy
and the city of New York and a great
crowd lined the way into the city to
sea and cheer the sailor prince of Ger
many
The great storm against which Kron
Prinz Wilhelm had struggled for days
and which had glazed the Atlantic
coast in an armor of ice had lost its
force and resigned its sway to warm
sunshine and clear blue skies so there
was no regret that the royal guest
was a full day late for the entertain
ment provided for him
The genius of Marconi reached out
from the storm swept CGast and de
finitely located the belated liner and
made certain the hour that it would
reach Sandy Hook There was a cur
tain off the Hook early in the morn
ing and it was after 9 oclock before
the watchers caught the shadowy out
lines of the cautiously approaching
liner
Rear Admiral Robley D Evans
commander of the special squadron
and honorary aide to the prince left
the flagship Illinois at fl40 oclock in
the naval tug Nina With him were
Captain G A Converse his chief of
staff Flag Lieutenant Frederick
Chapin Ensign Frank T Evans aide
and Captain von Rebeur Paschwitz
naval attache at the Washington em
bassy of the German government
They were all in full dress uniform
Nina met Kron Prinz beyond Fort
Wadsworth and swinging around on
the starboard side of the liner steam
ed up the bay
Prince Henry attired in the uni
form of an admiral of the German
navy and surrounded by his naval
and military staff in brilliant uni
forms stood on the bridge of the liner
As the naval tug drew nearer to the
side of the steamship Prince Henry
and Admiral Evans caught sight of
each other and exchanged informal
salutes The distance from steamer
to tug was too great for conversation
however
As the two vessels with a flotilla of
tugs and officials moved past Fort
Wadsworth the first of the salutes
of twenty one guns was fired As
the first sounded the prince advanced
to the end of the bridge of Kron Prinz
Wilhelm and stood at attention
As he passed the big American flag
floating over the fortifications he
touched his cap in salute and the
members of his salute did likewise
The flag at the jackstaff of Kron Prinz
was dipped and the German naval
band played The Star Spangled Ban

PREDICTS NEW LAND LAW
Representative Hanks Expects Legis
lature to Adopt Torrens System
LINCOLN Feb 22 Representative
II H Hanks of Otoe county predicts
the adoption of the Torrens land trans
fer system by the next legislature Mr
Hanks is author of the bill creating
the Nebraska Torrens commission He
was in Lincoln and examined some of
the details of the commissioners re
ports
Basing my opinion upon what I had
read and heard of its work in other
states 1 believed when I introduced the
Torrens bill and do now that the sys
tem would be adopted by the next leg
islature by an almost unanimous vote
said Mr Hanks Several states have
adopted the Torrens system of trans
ferring real estate and I believe it Is
but a question of time till every state
in the union will have it In operation
England partially adopted it in 18G3
and by a provision passed in 1897 it
is now practically compulsory This
certainly speaks well for the system
Wherever I have found it once in oper
ation it has never been repealed The
register of Cook county Illinois writes
me it is working easily and satisfactor
ily there that transfers are made in a
very short time and at a small fee

and he pleaded guilty to each count
separately Judge Sornberger brief
ly commented on the various crimes
committed and the sentences impos
ed upon criminals and said that Bart

I will have to admit I have done
wrong I knew better I was brought
up better but I got mixed up in some
real estate deals and signed notes
with friends which I had to pay and
had to raise some money
When asked as to what he had done
with all this money he said
I have heard that I have this mon
ey stored away some place This is
not true I have not one dollar
He did not state what he had done
with all the money The court ask
ed Gould if he knew of or could give
any reason why he should receive a
short sentence and he said
Nothing except I have a family
a wife and two children a boy four
teen years old and a girl twelve years
old
The short sentence given Gould
causes much dissatisfaction
