SHSS TNiANShSGs
In January. 1904 the grand jury pre-
scented "A charge Of perjury against
Dodge. On the same day Dodge was
at the ST Charles hotel in New Or
leans, on his way TO Mexico. He knew
about il before the district attorney.
Why should Hummel want TO get
Dodge across the border But Dodge
was pulled off the train in Texas.
"Hummel telephoned 70 Captain
Morse:
" They have got our man, send us
money
There was a constant demand by
Hummel from Captain Morse. and not
less than $4,000 was paid by him"
Declined 70 Answer.
The first witness was Abraham II.
kaffeuDersh, a member of Hummels
law firm. He was asked whether he
had employed counsel in Texas TO pre-
vent the eNtradition OF Charles +,
Dodge. and also whether under Hum
merS instruction he attempted TO keep
Dodge in a perpetual state OF intQXica-
ton, but to this and 10 other questions
he replied.
= decline to answer on the ground
that il might degrade and incriminate
me
He was excused after a short ques-
tiOnmg.
Afraid to Testify.
Alleged payments Of Captain James

then taken up, with Nathaniel Cohen, a
member of Hmnmeis firm. i'm the Wit
ness chair. He was asked whether he
did not receive sums Of money varying
from 81, 800 20. 81 $50 al time from
Captain Morse. Mr., Cohen declined to
answer all these questions.
The court then adjourned until to-
morrow. after n mass of documentary

ent Of the naval academy for the sum-
mary dismissal Of Midshipman Trenmor
Coffin, jr.. for hazins. and of Midship4

Conflicting Laws.
The doubt in the mind of the navy
department regarding the limits of its
jurisdiction arises from the apaprent
conflict between an act of June %. 1874
which calls for the trial by court-mar-
tial for cadets found guilty of hazing
and that of March 8. 1908, which pro-
Yides that ANY cadet found guilty Of
participating in or countenancing such
practice shall be summarily dismissed"

HOW TO PAY FOR A HOME
New Features of Local Land COM
pany introduced for Develop
nent Purposes

The California Land syndicate have
recently installed a building depart
ment in connection with their real
estate business. This department is
under the management of w. ]. Gill
more, prominent builder Of New
York City, who is assisted by A. L..
Acker, a well known designer who
has made plans for many of the beau
tiful homes of Los Angeles.
The increased demand for homes in
this city has been Of such proportion
that the corporation finds it necessary
to add this department. This is only
one of the many proofs of our fast
growing city and of the enormous
amount of building operations in pro-
gress.
This company publishes a booklet en-
titled How to Pay for a Home" which
is free for the asking.

seventy-five private baths, and pro-
vided with steam heat and elevators.
The plans were drawn by Train & Will
liams, architects. The building occu-
pies a lot SOx165 feet, and the material
used was pressed brick with stone
trimmings. The first story at the front
is of stone, with stone insertions in
the upper stories. There are three
wings to give ample light and the best
of ventilation. The court openings to
the south are 15X64 feet.
The building was designed for the
use of patented space-saving furniture,
such as recessed beds, bookcases, COM
bination doors and dining and center

tables, reversible gas ranges, etc. 1t is
claimed that by the use of the re-
cessed furniture much of the space
can be saved, as, for instance, one room
can be So arranged as to answer for
a living room, a dining room and a
bed room, a small annex being pro-
vided for kitchen. The rooms are so

floors an entire floor can be thrown
into service for large family or party,
all of the rooms connected and each

within ten and fifteen minutes ride of

On to Hollywood
Construction work on the extension
of the West Temple street car line,
north on Western avenue, is having a
decided effect in stimulating the inter-
est that has already been shown in
property northwest of the city toward
Hollywood. The rails of the old motor
line have been taken up and replaced
with heavier ones. Poles have been
placed and wires strung and indiCa
tions are that the line will be ready
for use in a very short time. The
doubling of the service on the newly
double tracked Colegrove car line has
added greatly to property values
throughout this district. All the avail
able acreage throughout the district
north of Wiltshire boulevard has been
purchased eagerly at prices varying
from $1650 to $4,000. Several of these
buyers are planning for immediate
subdivision and lots will be placed on
the market at prices ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000 per lot.
Lots along Western avenue, or imme
diately adjoining that boulevard, are in
special demand. This is due to the
fact that Western avenue is through
street from the mountains at Holly
wood to the ocean at Redondo, because
it passes through the best residence
section of Los Angeles, and it would
seem that all this territory will enjoy
the special favor of investors during
the next year and it is stated that the
entire section will fill in with handsome
residences in a very short time.
This would seem to be indicated by
the fact that building statistics for the
past eight months show a great gain
for that section northwest of Sunset
park. More than one-half million dol
lars have already been expended in
the construction of fine homes in this
