THE MORMXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY. JANUARY 17, 1911. 14 TITLE Hi TRUST OFFICIAL ANSWERS E. C. Bronuagh, General Coun sel and Vice-President, Says Schnabel Is Mistaken. ONLY CERTIFICATES ISSUED JUvord Inuran-- er Written by llrm, Sajs Attorney I'atrona and Stockholders 'amed to btaow Concern's Standing TITLE TKt"T TO. KFrtJKM TO BAR AftMX LtTIOX CIHRt.E.

II. elalma that tha com?nf ia eat ellalble to membership la tha Bar Awx-Utloo. and therefore la not sub ject to lis aiarafnatloa. ' Ha asserts that a parallel csr.oot b. drava between tha old Tula Guar anty Tnut Co. and tha Tula Trust Co. Ieclartnr that tha Title Trust Company haa not written title -Inaur- anca and that President Schnabel, of ' the Multnomah Itar Association Is mistaken In his views, E. C. Bronaugh. vice-president and general counsel of tha Title Trust Company, yesterday expressed hla opinion of the charges made before the Mar Association. Jt was said before the liar Association that the company was doing business on too small a capital and that It had liabllltlea In Its risks which Its capital could not support. "The remarks made by President Schnabel before the Multnomah liar Association. aald Judge Bronaush, "is published In The Oregonlan January IS. were made under a misapprehension as to the nature of the business done by the Title at Trust Company. The attack was made on the ground that this company writes title Insurance, overlooking tha fact that there Is a decided difference between title In surance, as such, and the business of certifying title which this company Is carrying; on. The Title A Trust Com any haa nerer written title Insurance. l'nder the system of title Insurance, for an extra compensation paid It- the Insuring company assumes the risk attendant upon the defects In the title, both those which are apparent upon latent. Under the certificate of title plan such as the Title A Trust Com pany follows, the company's certificate It Issued solely upon the record title. If the pitbllo records disclose a ralld unlmr umbered title, free of defects, ap pearing on the record, a certificate to that effect Is Issued: If there are de fects of record apparent the certificate spec lues those defects. If the title of record Is Invalid the company declines to Issue a certificate of title. Comparison Is Attacked. "Mr. Schnabel haa liken) the title Insurance business to the business of Insuring lives and Insuring property against loss by fire, and says that the system of title Insurance Is unsafe be cause It rests upon an unscientific basis. If that question were at Issue it would be easy to meet it. but that is not the question Involved in this case. Between the certificate of title plan and life or fire Insurance there la no analogy whatever. For every life that. Is tnsnred there Is an absolute certainty that death will ensue and a reserve must be provided sufficient to meet the payment which Is Inevitable, l'nder the certificate of title plan, there la no certainty of loss, nor even prob ability of failure of title. In the case of fire Insurance a hazard Is under taken which Is entirely uncertain but the hazard Is knowingly assumed. In the case of certificates of title, no risk Is knowingly or Intentionally assumed. but a certificate of clear title Is la sued only In those casus where the rec ords actually disclose a clear title. Expert Examine Itecords. The examination of title Is made primarily by specialists whose entire time Is devoted solely to this one line of work without the distraction of any other work, questions of law being passed upon by the counselors of the company. No labor or expense has ben spared In building up a plant which Is sa complete an. abstract of every public record appertaining to land titles as can possibly be made, and every possible safeguard Is thrown about the work of the company for the protection of the public accepting Its certificates of title. "The suggestion that the Title Trust Company Is to be made the sub ject of an examination by a commit tee appointed bv the Multnomah Bar Association is somewhat novel. In view of the fact that the company Is not a member of the county liar Association nor eligible to such membership, and Is not engaged In the profession or prac tice of the law. It Is. however, one of the business Institutions of the city, carrying on not only a title and ab stract business, but a large trust busi ness as well, and If the Chamber of rommerce or Commercial Club or the Clearlng-lfouse Association should de sire to Investigate this company It would cheerfully welcome any siu-h In vestigation. -The fact that the certificates of title Issued by this company are being ac cepted freely by the large financial Institutions of the city ought to be sufficient guaranty of the estimate In which Its certificates of title axe held by the business community. nig- Firms Are Patrons. "Among- the Institutions which are accepting our certificates of tl:!e are the First National Bank. I'nited States National Bank. Ladd Tllton Bank, lllbernta Savings Bank. Merchants' Pavings A Trust Company, tieorge XV. Bates & Co, bankers: East Side Bank. Citizens Back of East Portland. Ore gon Life Insurance Company. Equitable Savings Loan Association.

Lambert-Whltmer Company. Edward B. Ooudejr. Portland Realty A Trust Com pany, the Hart Land Company, F. IL Iewls. Thad Sweek. L L. W hite. Oruaal A Zadow and many others. "An attempt has been made to draw a parallel between the business of this company and the old Title. Ouarantee A Trust Company. Anyone who knows the facts knows that the Title. Ouar antee A Trust Company did a prosper ous business so long as It confined Its operations to the title business, and gnt into difficulties only when It em barked upon tha banking business. That company wrote "title Insurance.' not certificates of title, and had no de posit to cover Its risks, none being then required by law, but I am In-' formed by Its receiver that It never had a claim for loss which was not met and that Us total losses on such business did not exceed 13000. Deposit Law Kxplainrd. "Mr. Schnabel has taken the position that the. deposit of 130.000 required by the law of Oregon Is wholly Inadequate to protect the holders of certificates of title. As a matter of fact, the law re quires that companies operating under It add to their $30,000 deposit each year 10 per cent of the earnings of their certificate business until the total de posit shall aggregate f 100.000. Other states require a deposit before engaging In the business of certifying titles, as follows: Illinois and Ohio, each 150.000; Massachusetts. New York. Wisconsin and California, each. $100,000; Ken tucky. $1)0.000. "It la doubtless a wise nrovlslon of t the law to require such a deposit as a guaranty of good faith, but the real protection to the public lies not in the deposit of $30,000. nor In the paid-up capital of $230,000. nor in the cash surplus of IJS.OOO of the Title and Trust Company, but in the business reputation of the concern and the absolute neces sity of Its maintaining Its standing to retain public confidence. Moral hazard Is always regarded by Investors as an Important factor In determining the safety of Investments, and considered from this standpoint the personnel of the stockholders of the Title and Trust Company ought to stand for something In this community. "The list of the stockholders em braces the following: names: J. C Alns- worth. H. L. Chnpin. BenJ. I. Cohen Estate. Henry L. Corbett. J. F. Daly. W, II- IMIy. Itndney L. Gllsan. J. L. Hart- man. M.

Allen said yesterday, referring to restrictions placed by the Council on drug stores: "The club represents over $1,000,000 capital actually invested In the retail drug business In the City of Portland, and yet we found ourselves helpless before a Council committee of three persona. We hope by taking such ac tion as will prevent the recurrence of such a condition. The other mercantile associations are watching us closely and hope to And In us a desirable ally."

MISTAKEN VIEWS, WOMEN'S TROUBLE Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, Suffrage Convention Envoy, Denies "Row" Report.' SQUABBLE JUST LIKE MEN'S Portland Delegate to Taconia Assem bly Declares Personal Difficul ties Merely Culminated and Matrons Talked In Cold. That the trouble at the annual state convention of the Washington Equal Suffrage Association at Tacoma was not a "row," but merely a misunderstand ing and the culmination of a few per sonal grievances, is the explanation of Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway. delegate to the convention, who returned to Portland yesterday. "I don't see anything extraordinary about the affair." said Mrs. Duniway. "Men never agree at any of their con ventions, and as daughters of men, we claim a perfect right to disagree, too. "A year ago last June at the state convention there arose a feud between rival localities In Washington." said Mrs. Duniway. "There are three rival cities in Washington that have large newspapers, which, naturally. take sides with their own constituents. Spo kane and Seattle are Jealous of each other; Seattle and Tacoma are Jealous of each other. "Mrs. Emma Smith DeVoe, of Wash ington, who is now president of the National Council of Women, and Mrs. May Arkwrlght Hutton, of Spokane, had some personal difficulties early In the campaign, the nature or which I know nothing, but It culminated at the state convention In Seattle In 1909. In an open rupture between the two fac tions. The National Woman Suffrage Association was at that time in ses sion In Seattle at the annual conven tion and the Hutton forces appealed to the National convention, which, as onlookers thought very unwise, turned the entire Slate Association of Wash ington down repudiated the whole thing, leaving the Washington State Association to pay for the entertain ment and start the campaign with serious handicap. Hatchet Hurled for Time. "Members of the National Association returned to their homes, and the Wash ington women took up the burden of carrying on their campaign and pay ing the additional expenses of the Na tional Association convention. Mrs. Hutton returned to Eastern Washing ton and was backed by the Spokane papers in organizing an Eastern Wash ington Suffrage League and smothered her Indignation until the November election. "Mrs. DeVoe carried on her work chiefly on the western eide of -the mountains, all factions burying their difficulties for the common weal. A sort of armed neutrality was main tained during the entire campaign and until the annual convention of this month approached. Then Mrs. DeVoe's superior tactics asserted themselves. She went to the four enfranchised states in person and, meeting the Governors of these stales, secured their co-operation to appoint delegates from their respect lve stales to organize this council of women voters In Tacoma. Mrs. George Smith and Mrs. Homer Hill, mho were allied with Mrs. Hutton'; forces, had some grievances which orlgl rated from their failure to understand the alms of the organization. They did not realize that these delegates were ap pointed by Governors of enfranchised states and has power to act. A convention of the new council was held at the home of Mrs. John Q. Mason, flth Governor Brauy. of Idaho, presid ing. Mrs. Hutton and her forces, not understanding the proceedings, went to Mrs. Mason's home and were denied ad mittance. They held their Indignation in check until the next meeting of the state association, which was held downstairs- In the music hall, while I was holding a mass convention in the audi torium upstairs. "Mrs. Hutton and Mrs. Smith, by this time angry and tired and still Ignorant of parliamentary procedure, undertook to protest against the manner of forming the National Council of Women Voters, but were ruled out of order by Mrs. De Voe, which was all rlsht. But the two women withdrew to the street and stood in the cold wind and voiced their protest unt'l the cold wind drove them to shel ter."

Breezes Tear "Rats" and "Switch- es Told Dampens Politeness of Vancouver Men. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Jan. IS. (Spe cial.) On account of the strong East winds which have been blowing fierce ly for several days, and the Intensely cold weather, a new fashion In women's headgear, has spread like fire in tall grass; in Vancouver. The wind has been so strong that it In numerous cases actually blew women down, pulled their large hats off. and in several cases, it is whispered, ac tually whisked the surplus hair loose from Its moorings. There is now a strong tendency to wear no hat at all, but In Its place Is donned a scarf, or throw, which is pulled snugly over the head and hair, making the minimum resistance to the wind. Long silk scarfs, of every shade from baby blue to scarlet red. are taken, and drawn over the head, leaving the ends on either side of equal length. - Then a knot Is tied close to the head, on either side, and the ends turned loose, free to flutter In the breeze. This fashion Is seen among the high school girls. amonir socletv folks, working girls, and among women In all stations or nie. as this style offers so little resistance to the wind, and keeps the hair in place. It has become exceedingly popular In lust a few days. So cold has the wind been that men have become less polite than usual, and the popular bald headed ban, who in pleasant weather extends his hat the full length of his arm when he passes women on the street, now merely Jerks the front of his hat or stiffly raises it up about two Inches before ne puns n quickly back Into place. Many men re fuse to more than touch their hats when they pass women acquaintances on the street. - COOS COUNTY BAR ELECTS Oflccrs Chosen and. MareJifleld Se lected for Meeting Place. BANDON. Or..
