THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1903. THREE DECISIONS Supreme .Court Upholds the Lower Courts. FIRST A SUIT TO QUIET TITLE Deed and Sealed iHitumeat Are Sy EOHyjaOBS Terms Albert Rob lanes. Gets Xo Dam sge. An abstract of title may be made a part of a complaint for the purpose of particularizing the description and of Hemlrlnff the values stated therein. The term "deed" In this etate Is synonymous with sealed Instrument. One "who holds the leeal title to real property in trust for another may main tain & eult to quiet title. SALEM, Or., March 16. (SpedaL) The Supreme Court today affirmed three ap pealed cases: d. S. McLeod. respondent, vs. Clyde D, Lloyd, appellant, from Lane County, J. W. Hamilton, Judge, affirmed; opinion by Chief Justice Moore. This was a suit to culet title to 450 acres of land in sections 12 and 14, township 24 south, ranee 1. east of "Willamette meridian, in Lane County. The complaint alleged that plaintiff was the absolute and unqualified owner of the land "as Is shown by the abstract of title hereto attacneo, marked 'exhibit A, and made a part hereof": that eald lands were all un seated, unimproved and unoccupied, and not in the actual possession of any person; that defendant claimed some interest which is unfounded and contrary to law and equity, as shown .by certain pages of the abstract; that defendant refused to re. llnqulsh hla claim; that the claim con stituted a cloud upon the title, and that plaintiff had no plain, speedy or adequate remedy at law. Defendant demurred to the complaint and, this being overruled, he entered a plea In abatement on the ground that plaintiff was not the real party In interest, but that he held the legal title in trust for the Astoria Com pany. A demurrer to this plea was sus tained, and the defendant refusing to plead further, judgment was given for plaintiff as demanded, canceling the deeds which constituted the cloud. The Supreme Court finds no error in the court below, and affirms the decision. Among other things the court decides: That identified exhibits attached to a pleading constitute a part thereof, not for the purpose of supplying material averments, but with the design of par ticularizing the description and itemizing the values stated therein, and that un der this rule the abstract of title was properly made part of the complaint. That the term "deed," in this state Is synonymous with a sealed instrument, so that the statement in the abstract, not only of the deed adopted to effectuate the transfer of the title, but the character thereof, sufficiently implies that the sev eral Instruments enumerated In the claim of title were sealed. Where a defendant is not in possession of property in question nor acting as the owner thereof, plaintiff could not have maintained an action In ejectment against him, and as defendant's common-law right to a trial by jury depended upon his pos session, the statute enlarging plaintiff's remedy, by permitting him to maintain a eult to remove a cloud upon title, though also not in possession, does not deprive the defendant of any right guaranteed him by the fundamental law of the state. Even though one holds the legal title to land only In trust for another, he nev ertheless has such a title as will enable him to, maintain a suit to quiet title, un der the rule that an agent who makes a contract In his own name without dis closing the name of his principal may maintain a suit in his own name. This was an action to recover upon a contract for the sale of logs, and the case is now decided upon its second ap peal to the Supreme Court. In the' court below the case was tried without a Jury nnd was decided in favor of the plaintiff. No questions of law are Involved on the appeal. The Supreme Court decides that the findings of fact In the court below cover the issues as to whether the am ount claimed was due at the time the complaint was filed, and that since there is no bill of exceptions. It will be pre sumed that the findings were in accord ance with the evidence, and the Judg ment of the court below is affirmed. In the caBe of Flanagan & Bennett Bank, appellant, vs. R. A. Graham et al, respondents, petition for rehearing was denied. Robinson vs. Tnkn Flailing Company. Albert Robinson, appellant, vs. Taku Fishing Company, respondent, from Mult nomah County; Alfred F. Sears, Jr., judge; affirmed; opinion by Justice Wol verton. This was an action to recover damages for injur' resulting from defendant's al leged negligence. The negligence alleged consisted of supplying the company s employes with weak and Insufficient guy ropes to keep piles from falling to either side, as they were raised to a per pendicular position. The evidence dis closed that plaintiff was injured by the falling of a pile which had been raised about six feet from the ground. It fur ther appeared that at the time of the accident the pile had not been raised high enougn ror tne guy ropes to perform the service for which they were Intended, and that therefore the accident could not have been due to the Insufficiency of these appliances. At the close of the plaintiffs testimony, a nonsuit was granted and tho decision of the court below Is affirmed by the Supreme Court for the reason that the evidence failed to show that the Injury was due to tho negligence alleged. Sattoa vs. Clark. B. B. Sutton, respondent, vs. Clark & Baker, appellants, from Douglas County; J. W. Hamilton, judge; affirmed; opinion by Justice Bean. OVATION TO WILSOX.

PROSPERITY SMILES On Dean Bl&acaard, aad He Is Once Again a Rica Mas. ST. HELENS, Wash.. March 16. Spe cial.) Hon. Martin B.

SAYS ROYALTY BACK HIM "WRIGHT .CLAIMS AID OP GREAT INFLUENCE. Has Letters Which Proseeators Xev- tr Sa.TV Offers to Waive Formal ities and Return tu England. LONDON. March 16. John Flower, chair man of the shareholders committee which investigated the prosecution of Whitaker Wright, the director of the London & Globe Finance Corporation, wno was arrested esterday on his arrival at 2ew lorn from France, says: I see Wright is quoted as saying ne bad a oowerful protector In an exalted quarter. That statement la not new to us. It la the keynote of the whole case. Prior to the failure of the London & Globe, certain persons maintain Wright had In his possession letters from lead ing members of the English royal family showing they were mixed up In hla trans actions. We have no documentary prooi of this. Wright himself is probably the only man in the world who could prove It. If he has such letters they ought now to be in the possession of the New York police, as we supposed they searched his effects, and Wright Is not likely to let such a powerful weapon of defense out of his personal keeping. Within a few weeks the chief Issue in the Wright case will be the question of the complicity of tho most ex alted persons in the empire in Wrights schemes. We do not anticipate any diffi culty In obtaining his extradition, but If what Wright's friends maintain turns out to be true his genuine prosecution will be come an extremely delicate matter. We believe, however, that the lawyers at pres ent engaged will sift the matter to the bottom regardless of any considerations." Referring to the interview with Wright published In the New York Herald today. Mr. Flower said: "I quite sympathize with Wright when he says the failure of the London & Globe was due to the treachery of others. There Is no doubt of that. But It must be re membered that for three months prior to the failure, the London & Globe had not a cent In its lockers, yet it was doing over half a million pounds in speculation at every settlement. The government's de cision that the directors as a body could not be proceeded against docs not pre vent Wright, as the prime factor In the rotten conditions which existed before the failure, being made to take the responsi bility." Attorney-General Finlay, In the House of Commons this afternoon said the crown would pay the cost of the extradition of Wright and the payment by the crown of the whole expenses of the proceedings would be considered. His prosecution. however, would be left in the hands of the official receiver of the London & Globe corporation. The London lawyers of Mr. Wright held conference today with Samuel Unter- meyer, of a New York law firm, who Is here, and who has frequently represented Wright's Interests In America. The fol lowing statement was subsequently made to the Associated Press by the lawyers "While Mr. Wright Is undoubtedly anx ious to return to England and face tho charges, the question of the advisability of his so doing must be decided by his legal advisers. We hold there Is a-doubt. In view of the Attorney-General's dec taxation. If Mr. Wright's extradition would not be a breach of the treaty. All the circumstances combine to prejudice a fair trial at the present stage. "We regard the reports that Mr. Wright is holding letters showing the complicity of royalty In his transactions as being merely an invention of his enemies, cir culated for the purpose of Influencing pub lic opinion." WRIGHT WILLING TO RETURN. Bat Lawyers Insist on Fighting He Says He Was Cleared. NEW YORK. March 16. Whlttaker Wright, arrested yesterday, was taken to the Federal building today to be arraigned before Commissioner Alexander. Miss Florence Browne, said to be his niece, who arrived with him yesterday and who dls appeared from the Albemarle Hotel later In the day. went to the office of United States Marshal Henkel with her counsel. She was not a prisoner. Miss Browne, while she repeatedly asked to be excused from answering questions. made partial replies when questioned by representatives of the preaj. She said she was the niece of Whlttaker Wright, but knew nothing about his financial at fairs. Mr. Wright, said she, did not bring large sum of money with him. Miss Browne said she would return to England shortly. On his way to the Federal building Wright made a statement in which he said: 1 shall waive all extradition formali ties to go back to England as soon as the Government matures all arrangements. The story about the amount of money lost is all bosh, he said. "The amount lost altogether did not exceed 4,000,000. This all turns toward the time when the crash came. The dividends paid out under secured capital, consisting of mining property, were more than the capital itself of the Globe Company. The Boer war, with Its financial Irregularities, contribu ted largely and was chiefly responsible for destroying the value of mining proper ty at that time, whenever assets were in vested. This is a scheme or plan to de stroy for the time being the market values of mining properties. "The Globe Company today would be on Its feet had it not been for the eubway or underground roaa in London, but un fortunately in an unwise moment the Globe became Interested in this and the crash came. The money was legitimately lost. This occurred two years ago. went over the books carefully myself with the receiver and the matter was laid In all Its entirety before Parliament. "The Attorney-General for the Crown told me himself that I had a clean bill of health, and waa not culpable In any way I am an Englishman by birth, but I am an American citizen. I have three chil dren living with my wife in England and three are burled In Philadelphia. Mies Browne Is my niece and Is my sister's child. She came here to visit friends In Philadelphia. I came here to examine mining property." Wright was arraigned before United States Commissioner Alexander and the hearing was adjourned till Wednesday Maurice Untermeyer appeared for the prisoner. Asked whether he waived ex amination Mr. Untermeyer replied: "On the contrary, and I wish to add that my client states that personally he would take a steamer Immediately for England and answer these charges, but on the advice of counsel he will wait further proceedings on the part of the British government. Mr. Wright also denies he is a fugitive from Justice. He has been absent from England for three weeks In Paris, but Insists be Is not a fugitive from justice. Charles Fox. legal adviser of the British consulate, asked for an adjournment for two weeks pending the arrival of papers irom .cngiano. mis was opposed by coun sel for the prisoner, who, after consulting nxs cuent. saia: T think an adjournment until Tuesday or weanesaay win toe sufficient. Mr. Wright insists he Is willing to return to England at once." commissioner Alexander then set the hearing for Wednesday. Nothing was said aooui oau tor tne pnnoner. When asked directly whether Mr. Wright was going u waive extraaitlon. Mr. Un termeyer said the adjournment waa taken so that the attorneys might consider what they would do. The formal comnlaint against Wright charges him, with the fraud in publishing false statements of accounts of the London & Globe corpora uon. Cxar May Meet DlmcaHles, BALTIMORE, March 16. Cardinal Glb- bona, commenting on the Czar's mani festo, is quoted as saying: 'In my Judgment it may be considered the most unexpected, as well as the most important and beneficent movement, that has occurred in the 26th century. I have some misapprehensions, however I trust that they are groundless that the eccle siastical authorities, who are very power ful in Russia, may In some respects mod ify the beneficent features of the decree. I hope that the Jews will have a share In the proposed radical changes." REVOLUTION IN URUGUAY Revolt Against Government Breaks Oat la Two Provinces. MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay. March 16. A revolution has broken out in the De partments of Rivera Flores and Mo'.d onado. The government does not attach any importance to the movement. CHILE REJECTS PROTECTIOX. Proud Nation Scorns Shield of Mon roe Doetrlae. NEW YORK. March 16. The Heraldo, according to a Valparaiso, Chile, dispatch to the Herald, publishes a remarkable article about the Monroe Doctrine, in which it says "South America ought to quietly notify the United States that she does not seek the Monroe Doctrine's pro tection, but her own. She ought also to notify Europe thus: "We cannot decorously continue to be regarded as Turks. That is to say, we are not outside the international law practiced by the greater powers among themselves." The writer ends by saying: "Paramount above everything Is our duty to place ourselves in a worthy posi tion before the world. South America ought to renounce the Invisible benefits of the so-called doctrine." The correspondent adds that since the Baltimore affair many Chileans distrust the United States more than Europe. WILL USE ISTHMIAN CANAL. Mexico Already Preparing; to Use It for Expansion. MEXICO CITY. March 16. Great Inter est Is belns taken here In the Panama Canal. It Is now believed that the United States will begin work on the canal Im mediately following the ratification of the treaty and it is estimated that it will be completed within flvo years. It Is stated that President Diaz contem plates the establishment of a steamship lino running from Vera Cruz and Pro srreso to Havana, Port Iimon. Colon, Sa- vanilla and La Guayra, the steamers to make the round trip In one month. Com munlcatlon would be thus established by Mexico with Cuba and Central America and by Colon with Columbia and Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile. The project thus will affect 30,000,000 Latin American people. It Is a part of the plan made by the gov ernment of reaching out after the trade of South America. It Is realized that when the canal is opened the Gulf of Mexico will be the Mediterranean of the Western Hemisphere and Mexico will be In a position to reap great advantages from Its geographical situation. Dins Will Arbitrate for Them. PANAMA, March 16.

The Guatemalan army win be disbanded shortly. The Presidents of Salvador and. Guate mala have expressed their gratitude at tne mediation ot aenor unocano, wno is Consul-General of Peru at Guatemala City. German Minister at Caracas. CARACAS, March 16. Herr Polldran, the German Minister, arrived at La Guayra today on the steamer Caracas, and left Immediately for Caracas. NO MORE GRAFT. (Continued from First Page.) quantity or blanks for lieu land selections and give them to the State Land Agent to fill In at his pleasure. It is reported that soon after Governor Chamberlain was In augurated, Stato Land Agent L. B. Geer went to the new executive and asked him to sign up a lot of blanks. The Governor, It is said, declined to sign the blanks. whereupon Geor told him It had always been the custom for the Governor to. sign the blanks and leave them for tho State Land Agent to fill In. "I can't help that," the Governor Is said to have replied, "it won't be the custom during my term of office to sign anything In blank." When Governor Chamberlain was asked today whether this incident occurred, he said he didn't care to be Interviewed on that sub ject, but added that no blanks had been signed. Why the Governor Vetoed the Bill Governor Chamberlain's veto of the bill In which a clause had been Inserted in the Interest of the lieu land ring, together with the stand he has now taken. Is hard blow for those who have been making money by selling Invalid base. When both houses had passed a bill which made It tho duty of the Governor to "set up" all fallen lieu land selections, the operators and all others Interested thought the way was clear for the perfecting of the bad titles. But the Governor discovered the stinger which had been hidden In the bill and In spite of the protests of those most Interested, he vetoed It. The stand he has now taken means that when the lieu land selections are disapproved the purchasers of tho land will be hot upon the trail of those from whom they purchased the base upon which tha selections were made. Those who purchased through agents or attorneys will be looking to those agents and attorneys for satisfaction. In all cases It Is probable that strenuous efforts will bo. made to get the adjudications of base approved at Washington so as to reduce the number of losses to a minimum. The State Land Board has recently made a change In the form of deed issued for lieu land, with a view to giving all pur chasers notice of the condition of the state's title to land. While, as stated above, all sales of lieu land have stopped, there are outstanding a large number ot certificates of sale for lieu land. Upon return of these certificates and payment of the balance of the purchase price, the holder receives a deed. The deeds here after Issued will contain tho following proviso: This deed Is executed and delivered with knowledge on the part of the grantee that the land described herein Is an Indemnity selection of school land, not yet approved by the Secre tary, of the Interior, and. In the event that the base upon which this selection was made proves- Invalid, or If. for any reason, the se lection falls to be approved by the Secretary of the Interior, the title ot the state and of the purchaser falls, and the purchaser will be en titled to repayment from the stats only of the amount of the consideration mentioned herein, with Interest at the rate of 5 per cent per an num. In accordance with the provisions ot sec- Ion 3311 of Bellinger and Cotton's Annotated Codes and Statutes of Oregon. Putting in this proviso does not change the effect of the deed or limit the state's obligation, but gives every purchaser ex press notice of facts which he is pre sumed to know without notice.
