FEW OF THE RECORDS SAVED

Tkouu' Lawsalts Made
Necessary.
BAN FRANCISCO. July t-Bsn rran
lsco has Just begun to take up In earnest
th task of re-eatabllahing Its land titles,
most of the records of which were wiped
out In the great fire of 1906. The state su
preme court recently confirmed the Mc
Enerney act, psssed by the legislature last
January, to facilitate the restoration ot
titles; and property owners are now malting
haste to have their properties safeguarded.
The emergency meanure enacted by the
state provides (or a simple procedure in the
courts to quiet title. The plaintiff brings
suit against all the world and against all
claimants that he knows of. Notice by
publication and posting Is given and then
oral evldenoe and such records an are avail
able are presented to the court. The title

ti destruction of the ctty'a realty rec
or was virtually complete. Ninety per
Oent of the books In the recorder's office
era Consumed. Of the 1 000 volumes of
wunirsge. records only one volume was
saved. Of th thousands of volumes of
deeds only a K-r of mtscelavneous years
were resoued.
vTbera wss no organisation of the office
yrvm en u day of the Ore. and thonirh
pU time was afforded on test fateful
, 'naedar to cart the volume off to a
-fcevoprtuJilty waa ugleoted.
Asssor Dodge, for example, who was not
altlltated with the Sclmitta administration,
did not have bis offices tilled with Incom
petent and Indifferent ward politicians and
all his men were on hand to save the rec
ords, which was easily accomplished with
the assistance of a dray.
Records Saved Practically Useless.
The 10 per cent of the records of land
titles that were saved are practically value,
lens. Without the continuity of assurance
a deed la. of course. Ineffective. The break
of one link in the chain of title Invalidates
the whole. No assurance could be given,
for example, that a record of deed that
had been preeerved was not affected by
some mortgage, the evidence of which had
been burned up In ens of the IS) volumes.
It can be seen, therefore, that every laud
title In San Kranclsco will have to be pre
pared anew. There are 40,000 Independent
pieces of property in the city, for every
one of which a lawsuit must be Instituted,
tried and passed upon In judgment.
It has been estimated that one court
will be able to hear eight of these cases a
day, or 2.UO0 cases a year If it gives Its time
to nothing else. Here comes In a problem
that was not taken into account by the
lawyers who framed the McEnernry act.
San Francisco has only twelve superior
judges. iMt enough to cope with the ordi
nary litigation of the county. An appeal
was made at the last session of the legisla
ture for the establishment of additional
courts, but this was refused.
' At the rate of 1.000 cases a ytar one Judge
could dispose of the land titles In twenty
years. And thts Is not taking Into con
sideration the large number of contents
that are sure to develop. Should aU twelve
judges devote themselves to the task and
lay aside all other administration of justice
they could by unprecedented activity
restore the ownership records in a year
and a half.
Tkoasaade of Baits Filed.
Suits have already been filed by thousands
and the clogging of the courts Is apparent.
The Judges are UK-lined to sulk because
tbelr request for a additional devarUueat
was denied by the legislature and are
more or less Indifferent to the urgency of
title matters. The grand Jury has re
turned enough Indictments In the graft
and boodle cases to keep several courts
busy for a year.
The only avenue of relief appears to lie
In proving additional courts. There has
already been talk of asking Governor
Glllett to call a special session of the legis
lature for the purpose. Otherwise only the
urgent cases can be acted on and the others
allowed to await such legislative assistant)
as the session a year and a half hence may
provide.
The cost to the people of San Francisco
of regaining titles to their properties will be
83,000,000. The minimum fee exacted by
the lawyers Is $50, which ineludes court and
publication costs and other expenses.
No complaint about this charge is made
agsinst the practitioners, considering the
amount of detail work Involved and the cx-
Itreme care to be observed In such a mat
ter as building a title ab Initio to make it
I endure for all time. . The reasonableness of
the charge has been brought about by the
.title companies that attorneys have formed.
' By collecting a large number of cases they
sre enabled to perform the service more
cheaply, and to the credit of the profes
sion It should be ststed that it Is largely
I actuated by public spirit to make the bur
jden on the city's property owners as light
, as possible.
j From $50 the fees range as high ss $3,000,
'accqrdlng to the value of the realty. The
! greater the holding the more work Is en
j tailed, and lawyers also Insist that their
compensation shall be nxea accoraing to
the amount of responsibility Involved.
Harvest for iko Lawyers.
Though fortune making fees will not be
forthcoming, there will be no starving
lawers In Ban Francisco for some time to
oome. The city has I.OtO of them, and
there la sure to be enough work tor all to
bring general prosperity to the profession.
I-lkswlse. the stenogTspber will read ad
vantage from the 111 wlad. The preparation
of documents to fulfill all the, detailed re
quirements of land title litigation repre
sents an enormous amount of labor. Think
of the complaints, the petitions, the no
ticesall the records that must be set forth
by nimble fingers In 40,000 lsnd title suits.
The work will all come with a rush from
now on. AU will seek restoration of title
at once.
So long as she records of title are not es
tablished all transactions In reality will be
hampered. Witnesses who can testify to
ownership and possessston msy die or leave
the city, and It Is Important to take no
rlek of delay.
Furthermore, so long as property is un
protected by record the avenue Is open for
counter claims and fraud. Any person may
bring suit to gain title to a piece of prop
erty and the owner's only protection Is the
evidence that he can produce that he was
such before the Are. '
A comparatively few saved their original
deeds, mortgages and other papers In the
safe deposit vaults, but even then oral evi
dence must be adduced to convince the
court beyond all peradventure of a doubt
It can readily be seen how designing per
sons may press false claims Every prop
erty owner, therefore. Is eager to have his
title restored with all dispatch possible,
now that the constitutionality of the Mo
Enerney act has been established.
That a great amount of contested litiga
tion will result seems Inevitable. Every
rival claim to property or Interest therein
that has been made since San Francisco
begsn may be pressed anew.
The many Spanish land grant cases that
the courts had settled after yef.rs of litiga
tion might be renewed. It Is possible that
great fights for millions will be fought over
again. Court decisions s well were all
wiped out by the conflagration.
tart at ta Btesa.
In short, 8an Francisco Is beginning abso
lutely at the beginning la th allotment
of ground space. - No person Is bare!
from setting up a claim to the most valua
ble piece of ground la Market street. Oa
the memory of human kind rests largely
all of the city's land titles.
The lawyers admit the vast field for
fraud and counter claims, but they declare
that the Judges, with an eye to public
policy, will come near to setting matters
right. Pisputes will arise that will be
difficult to determine, but the number of
them will be far fewer than one might
suppose.
At the same time attorneys are advising
their clients to act promptly, to avoid the
possibility of contested litigation. There
need be no fear of loss of right, they point
to the situation and evidence la available
for presentation to the courts. However,
slow the courts may act, the filing of the
complaint Is Itself a protection.
Among the first who have sued for the
restoration of titles is Mrs. Hermann Oel
rlchs of New Tork. She had given' In
structions that there should be no delsy
in safeguarding her large holdings.
In the North Beach section, where she
owns a large area of land under water, may
be seen dozens of tiny rafts bobbing on the
wavelets and displaying on an upraised
board notices that "this, the within de
scribed property" Is hers. The framers
of the McEnerney set forgot about the con
siderable amount of property that Is under
water In prescribing that notice of claim
niust- be posted upon the land in a con
spicuous place. Mrs. Oelrichs' attorneys,
mindful of the literal exactions of the land
title laws, have left no room for Haw. Large
stones were sank and to these are tied the
little floats bearing the printed notices that
are essential to Mrs. Oelrichs' tittle to mill
ions of dollars' worth of property.
QUEEN PATRONIZES CRIPPLE
Her kleje.ty of Baalaad Bays Okjeets
H Ado by Waifs of Loadoa
Streets.
i
INDON. July . (Speclai.)-Many Interesting-
Blries are being told In connec
tion with the opening of th lord mayor's
cripples' fu'id by th queen. 84 r William
Treioar onounced that fJ00,000 had already
been received In response to tbe appal for
8300.000 made last November. This Includes
tbe special fund of $27,600 collected to cele
brate this particular visit of the queen.
Then a procession of thlrty-alx children,
which began and ended with two little
cripples, pasased before the queen, each
child offering a purse of gold. Th queen
laughed heartily at one Utile boy who
made- his bow and was then so overcome
that he forgot to give up his purse. Mr.
Pett Ridge came to rescue, however, and
the purse was finally surrendered. Boated
under the wail of the artificial Temple Bar
was a forlorn and poorly clad little girl
plaiting straw Into baskets' at the exhibit
of the Mayfalr Girls' club. In a cheap
straw hat, a cheap white blouse and a
neat If faded skirt, th figure ot the little
cripple weaving baskets with dexterous fin
ders, seemed strangely pathetic amid the
splendor of society's gowns and the nod
ding feathers and gay flowers of the hats
that cost as many dollars aa the Utile crip
ple's straw hat cost pennies.
"What Is your name, little girl?" asked
tbe queen graciously.
"Barbara Jeans," said the Utile girl, lift
ing herself up, her face shining with Joy.
"And do you make all these baskets, Bar
bara?" askod the queen gently.
"Yes," the little girl replied.
"Now, how would you like to maio !vo
large baskets for my fireplace at home,
about this slxeT" and the queen measured
them with outstretched arms. And the
order was given.
At the stall of the American embassy
Mrs. Whitelaw Reld and Mrs. Ronalds
served her majesty with a Virginia peach
fed ham and a bottle of liqueur.
"SoapT" asked the queen, holding up a
pineapple shaped object, ao familiar to all
Americana.
"No, ma'am, cheese,' replied Mrs. Ron
alds. So the queen bought that si no.
As for th basar Itself, It need only be
said that one can buy anvthing there from
a rose to a "teddy, bear."
