LAW Oil DEEDS IN
ESCROW IS DETAILED
Supreme Court Decisions Are
Held Ample and Clear.
CASES IN POINT ARE GIVEN
Instructions Must Be Followed Im
plicitly, Violations Render
ing Deal Void.
BY W. B. EHIVELY,
(Chairman Legal Committee. Portland
Realty Board.)
Where a deed is put in escrow to be
delivered upon the payment of a sum
of money or performance of some con
dition, and the deed, through inad
vertance, mistake, fraud or the like, is
delivered without the payment of the
money or the performance of the con
dition, does the deed pass good title?
The foregoing question has been an
swered in the negative by the supreme
court of the state of Oregon on many
occasions.
In the case of Foulkes vi Seng
Ttacken, 83 Or. 118. 158 Pat 952. 163
Pic. 311. the supreme court said that
"the general rule is that the. instru
ment deposited does not become a deed
and operate to convey title . . .
until the performance of the condi
tion." In the case of Tyler vs. Cate. 29 Or.
B15, 45 Pac. 800, it was held that while
no specific formalities are- necessary
to constitute a delivery of a deed -"it
is essential that the grantor must con
sent either expressly or impliedly that
the deed shall pass irrevocably from
his control."
Rights of Grantor Stated.
And, it was further held that the
grantor has the right to say under
what conditions the deed shall be de
livered and the title pass. In that
case a deed was duly signed and
executed and placed in escrow with
instructions that it was to be deliv
ered when a certain mortgage was
executed. The deed was ultimately de
livered to the . purchaser without the
execution or delivery of the mortgage.
The purchaser subsequently sold the
premises to another who claimed the
right to the premises under the record
ing acts as a bona fide purchaser.
In holding the deed void the supreme
court said: "It would seem that where
a deed deposited as an escrow is ob
tained without performance of the
conditions, by operating upon the fears
or' credulity of the depositary, or by
fraudulent collusion with him, or by
other undue means, it bears a close
analogy in principle to the case of a
forged or stolen deed ... no
title passes whatever, and a subse
quent purchaser is not protected.
. . .A deed deposited as an es
crow is nothing more than a mere
scroll until the condition is fully per
formed or the contingency happens
upon the faith of which it was de-,
posited; and. this being so. no delivery
of the scroll prior to that time with
out the grantor's consent could give
life to the instrument, or convey the
title to the grantee or purchaser un
der him."
Portland Cane Cited.
In the case of Sharp vs. Kilborn. 64
Or. 371, 130 Pac. 735. the facts were
that the seller of a piece of property
forwarded his deed of conveyance to
a bank in Portland with written in
structions to the bank to deliver the
deed to the purchaser upon the pay
ment to the seller's order of $625 in
cash. The purchaser went to the bank
in question where he had an account,
his balance being in excess of $625.
and drew a check on the bank in the
bank's favor for the amount stated; the
bank accepted the check and delivered
the deed to the purchaser, who placed
it of record.
The bank did not remit the money
to the seller, nor did it charge the
amount of the check to the purchaser's
account, but held the same for four
days and then closed its doors and
failed, whereupon the seller instituted
suit against the purchaser to cancel
tJie deed on the theory that the pur
chaser had obtained the deed from the
bank without paying the purchase
price. The purchaser resisted the suit,
claiming that the purchase price had
been paid as above stated.
In passing upon the question the
supreme courT pointed out that no cash
had actually been paid to the bank and
held that the bank could not rightfully
deliver the deed so as to bind the seller
unless it had first received the amount
of actual cash named in the instruc
tions forwarded with the deed, laying
down the principle that the delivery of
a deed in violation of the terms of the
escrow passed no tile. The deed was
thereupon cancelled.
H'rons Instructions Given.
In the case of Bradford vs. Durham.
B4 Or. 1. 101 Pac. 897. a deed had been
deposited in escrow with a bank with
instructions from the seller to deliver
the same upon the payment of $100.
The purchaser went to the bank with
the seller's son, the son stating to the
bank that the deed could be delivered
upon the payment of $10. The bank
thereupon delivered the deed.
Thereafter the seller brought suit
to quiet the title to the property, claim
ing that the deed w-as void for the rea
son that it had been delivered con
trary to instructions; the buyer de
fended, citing the son's act in author
izing the delivery of the deed; the
seller testified at the trial that he
had never given his son the right to
authorize the delivery of the deed for
any sum less than $100. The buyer
being unable to submit any proof to
the contrary, the supreme court held
that the deed passed no title.
From the foregoing cases It is ap
parent that escrow instructions must
be implicitly followed, as a deed deliv
ered in violation thereof is void and
does not pass title. As said in the
case of Telschow vs. Quiggle, 74 Or.
105. 109. 145 Pac. 11. such a deed
"would be of no more force than one
with a forged signature."

DEATH BATE
BY PROPER
D
HOUSING
Unsanitary Conditions Cause
of Disease and Crime.
NEW YORK HELD EXAMPLE
Dr. James II. McBrlde of Pasadena
Declares Race Xot Gaining in
Physical Stamina.
An appeal for legislation making for
proper housing to develop a strong and
robust citizenry, inasmuch as the fu
ture control of the world will rest with
the strongest race, featured a paper
prepared by Dr. James H. McBride of
DRIVE PURCHASED BY
AUTO COMPANY.
G. L
Pasadena, Cal., member of the Califor
nia state commission on immigration
and housing, which was read by Fath
er E. V. O'Hara before a meeting of
the Portland Housing association Tues
day night at Library hall.
Dr. McBride cited figures to show
that housing legislation In New York
city had lowered the death rate.
Cood Hones Lower Death Rate.
"In every city in the world where
sanitary homes have been provided for
the workers, the death rate has been
lowered," he said. "New York fur
nishes an illustration of what hous
ing laws may do in improving the pub
lic health. The first tenement house
law of New York city was passed In
1867. At that time the death rate was
35 per thousand. Five laws have been
passed down to 1910, each law more
stringent than the, previous one, and
the enactment of each resulted In a
reduction of the death rate. It slid
down from 35 per thousand through
26. 22, 19.6. 16.4. and in 1916 was still
lower, 15 per thousand.
In opening his paper Dr. McBride
declared that man Is naturally an out
door "animal" and that he was still
trying in a bungling way to adjust
himself to the complex conditions of
civilization.
He said that from the viewpoint of
physical stamina, civilization had made
a sorry failure of its care of the race,
for if knowledge of wild men. Is an in
dication of the kind of men that pre
ceded civilization. Instead of gaining,
men have lost in physical vigor since
they have lived In houses.
"There are numerous indications that
the race is not gaining In physical
stamina, in ability to stand the in
creasing stress and adverse conditions
of civilized life," he said. "There are
many causes for the physical degener
acy that is seen today, but one of the
chief causes is the houses men live in
and the general conditions that are
connected with house life. Housing is
one aspect of the complicated condi
tions mat afreet the health of men in
dividually and also that of commun
ities. It is only recently that the evils
of bad housing and their extent have
become apparent, and we are but now
in the pioneer stage of remedial work."
Results of Bad Housing; Shown.
The results of bad housing In the
United States were emphasized by Dr.
McBride.
"Every year in the United States the
following average number of deaths
from communicable diseases are re
ported," he said, "and this is only a
partial list: Measles. 12.000; whooping
cough, 10.000; scarlet fever. 9000; diph
theria, 1S.000. and tuberculosis, 150.000.
These are house diseases in the sense
that the house is their usual breeding
place, though it is, of course, quite pos
sible to contract them or any disease
out of doors."
"Tuberculosis is a house disease,"
he continued. The bacilli that cause it
live in dark corners, in damp houses,
in illy-ventilated homes, in filthy
homes. in overcrowded homes. in
cheerless homes, in homes of poor food
and scant clothing.
Poor Houses Cause Crime.
"In a certain American city of 500,
000 population a number of pin maps
were made to indicate the location of
cases of sickness," he said. "It was
found that the pins put in the maps to
show the location of Insanitary and
overcrowded homes went In at the
same places as the pins for sickness.
In the well-housed districts the death
rate was 13 per 1000, in the badly
housed it was 19 per 1000. The maps
also showed that crime, delinquency,
drunkeness and insanity occurred
chiefly among the badly housed.
"This is the tale of a single city, but
the conditions are duplicated in hun
dreds of other cities. The facts show,
though Imperfectly, the price that any
city must pay for Its neglect of the de
cencies of its housekeeping and the
consequent wastage of its human val
ues. The money spent for charity, for
hospital care, for crime, pauperism,
etc., would, in a few years,- rebuild
these degenerate districts and restore
to Industry and decent living those
who are now a dead weight to the com-

munity and a menace to its good order
and its morale.
"Physical degeneracy due to bad
housing conditions has been observed
in all cities where investigations have
been made. Children living in one
room tenements are shorter and weigh
less than those living in two-room ten
ements; and when families have three
rooms or more the. height and weight
of children are greater."
Dr. McBride declared that there Is a
real financial loss to the country due
to bad housing.
"There are about 30.000.000 wage
earners in the United States.", he said.
"As nearly 10 per cent of their time is
lost In sickness and as it appears much
of this is due to bad housing, the cost
of the latter to this class alone
amounts to the region of 10 figures."

How to Banish Wrinkles
and Crow's Feet Quickly
If your face Is disfigured with wYln
kles. no matter what the cause, you can
quickly dispel every line, even the most
obstinate, by using a simple, home
made wash lotion. Merely dissolve an
ounce of powdered saxolile in a half
pint witch hazel ingredients found in
any drug store. Bathe the fce in this,
and presto! you scarcely believe your
own eyes when you look into your
mirror and behold the marvelous trans
formation :
The remarkable astringent action of
the saxolite so tightens the i-kin. wrin
kles are literally pressed out. Best of
all, this result Is not purely Temporary,
for the lotion also has a healthful tonic
action, which tends to strengthen and
tone up the weakened tissue, and added
benefit may be expected with contin
ued true. I'se this once a day for
awhile: it cannot Injure the most deli
cate skin. The treatment Itself leaves
no trace no one guesses the secret of
your increasing youthful appearance.
