With more than 100000 persons living
in Los Angeles there are but thirteen
cases of contagious disease in the city,

Four cases of typhoid fever do not

LITIGATION FOR ESTATE
EXTENDS OVER IL YEARS
CELEBRATED LEoNls CASE AGAIN
DoCkETED
Widow Files Suit for Recovery Against
Administrator, Although Much of
Portion She Claims Is Said to Have
Been Spent in Court

With a record of eleven years of con-
stant battle in the local courts, the
Leonis case, probably the most famous
case in local probate history, started
on it's twelfth year of turmoil yester-
day, when Mrs. Maria Espiritu Chi
Julia de Leonis brought suit for recov-
cry against +. 2. Walsh, administrator
OF the estate of Miguel de Leonis, be-
fore Judge Wilbur.
Nearly a hundred different legal ac-
tions have been brought under the title
of the Leonis case and six of the actions
have been carried to the supreme court.
The widow of Miguel de Leonis is an
old Indian woman, daughter of Chief
Odon of a tribe formerly of the Scor-
pon ranch and other properties in the
San Fernando valley. Leonis, a lonely
sheepherder, married the woman ac-
cording to the common law. and upon
his death utterly disregarded her exis-
tence and willed all his property,
amounting to $S0O,OOO, to relatives.
The widow brought suit to contest
the will. A considerable portion of the
estate claimed by Mrs. Leonis was
taken charge of by Laurent Etchepare,
a Basque saloon keeper, and after sew
eral years of legal battle he claimed
her share in payment for money he
had advanced.
This caused litigation until, as a final
effort, the aged woman is making a
last fight for the estate
1t is said. however, that all the vast
estate claimed as belonging to the
woman has long since been used up for
legal fees, with the exception of certain
portions given to other relatives, and
should the widow win this last suit she
will gain nothing but vindication.

RELATIVES OF SOLDIER
CONTEST HIS LAST WILL
ASSERT CoMRADE INFLUENCED
HIS REQUESTS
LuteIlis DooIlttIe's Brother
and Sister Alege L. D. Davenport
Became Principal Heir Because OF
Testator's Falling Health and Mind

Charging L. D. Davenport of Saw
telIe with having influenced the last
wishes of Lutellis Doolittle, an old
soldier, In making the latter's will,
brother of the deceased, brought suit
yesterday before Judge Wilbur in the
superior court asking that the will be
set aside and the property amounting
to $4,000 divided among the relatives.
Private Doolittle died last February
at the soldiers hospital at Sawtelle.
The old man owned property in the
east and large ranch in Montana, but
preferred to live at the home among
the comrades of the war days.
Wilson Doolittle, the brother, and
Mrs. Alvira Marling of Cowley, Kan
sas declare that Davenport met Doo-
little at Sawtelle and talked to the old
man until he was persuaded to give
away his property
In contestipg the will the relatives
charge Davenport with having turned
the old soldier against all his relatives,
whereas he had been previously on
most friendly terms with them.
Make Many Charges
1t is also alleged that Davenport
wrote the will and had the old soldier
sign 1t. 1t is also charged that Doo-
little was in a state of mental disso-
luton and a dying condition when he
signed the will.
Davenport denies all the allegations
and asserted on the witness stand yes
terday that the will was made in legal
form and signed by two witnesses. The
instrument gave to Davenport mort
gage on eastern property, money and
mortgages in Sawtelle and the man
agement of the Montana ranch.
According to the will Davenport was
t. have all the stock on the ranch, but
all increase of stock was to go to the
other heirs.
Davenport produced witnesses to
prove his claim, but did not deny that
Doolittle died thirty minutes after hav-
ing signed the will.
The case was taken under advise
ment by Judge Wilbur.

RUNS TO NEWPORT AND BACK
Speedy Trip Made to Demonstrate

RUNS TO NEWPORT AND BACK

Gould representative OF the Insane
Order of Speed Maniacs been aboard
Pacific Electric car No. 25S yesterday
during the round trip between Los
Angeles and Newport he would doubt
less have been "greener'n gourd"
with envy, as the car bumped" along
at slightly more than a mile a minute
in some places, and averaged close
around that figure for the thirty-eight-
mile run down.
The occasion was not for the purpose
of breaking any speed records or to
demonstrate the slight margin between
life and death while riding, but was a
practical test upon Los Angeles in
vention.
John Rogers recently patented an
open-end journal for which he claimed
wonders in practical use, and 1t was to
test his claims that Superintendent
Van Vranken of the Pacific Electric
made the hurried round trip.
Car No. 253 was recently equipped
with pair of these journal boxes, and
a pair of the ordinary boxes now in use
by the company was placed alongside
the new ones to make the test all the
more severe.
Run at High Speed
The run was made at high speed
in an effort to set the boxes on fire,
Io,1f 20 IN, bo
result of the trip was favorable to the
claims of Mr.. Rogers, and the journal
boxes will doubtless be adopted for
general use by the Pacific Electric.
The journal box is of peculiar con-
struction, being almost air tight. 1t
is operated on the order of a lamp in
that it does away with all packing for
the distribution of oil, and wicks are
used to supply the oil to the axle uni
formly and prevent waste.
1t is claimed by the inventor that
a "hot box" is practically impossible
to his journal boxes. That the even
distribution of oil serves all purposes,
and when an excess of oil is drawn
through the wicks 1t falls into the pan
from which. it is drawn, thereby pre-
venting waste.
On arrival of the car at Newport an
inspection was made of the journal
boxes, and while the old ones were en-
tirely too warm to be touched, the
Rogers journal box was comparatively
cool and it was possible to hold the
hand upon the axle without any dis
comforts.
The party was composed of John
Rogers, inventor; George S. Rogers, his
son; Superintendent F. Van Vranken,
William Jennings, master mechanic; j.

with him unless he is decidedly elderly
or distinguished. If he is the husband

both on their arrival and departure.
Women do not shake hands when in
troduced to each other, but merely
bow. When, however, a young girl Is
presented by friend to married
woman the latter shakes hands with
her. but the girl must not make the
first advance.
Men shake hands when introduced to
each other as an expression of good
will. When leaving an entertainment
man shakes hands with the hostess.

are near but he must not go about

Some of the Benutifers Used by the

4 most repulsive cosmetic but one
which some Roman danes of antiquity
esteemed as most precious, was the

washed their faces in the foam of beer,

chalk in vinegar.
An old italian recipe for obliterating
the injurious effects of salt air and
sunshine is to bathe the face with the
white of an egg well beaten. Let it
dry OH the skin and rinse it off after
fifteen minutes This treatment must
be repeated three or four times and al
ways at night before retiring.

THE HUMAN NOSE.



Characteristic Feature.
A nose which i'll any way suggests
our ape-like ancestors, whether sDub,
dattened or abnorlnally small Is
deemed ugly. Generally speaking. the
long nose belongs to the people OF Eu-
rope. whereas the negroes and Mongo-
lians have short noses. With the Eskt-
mo the nose is said to be In many cases
so fiat that ruler might be placed so
as to rest upon both cheeks without
touching it. In the man the muscles OF
the nose have little fexibility except
about the nostrls. which visibly dilate
and contract under the influence OF
passion.
Mantegazza has remarked that among
civilized people the nose Is nearly al
ways DETECTED toward the right. which
he attributes to the custom of wiping
the nose with the right hand. Leonardo
da Ninci discovered that there were
over ten different varieties of nose
seen in profile and eleven when looked
at In front Charles Blanc considered
the nose the most characteristic Tea
ture of the face and recommended Ia
dies to regulate the style of their dress
with reference TO its shape. and Lava-
ter went 50 far as to assert that
beautiful nose was worth more than
kingdom; that it Is never associated
with an ugly face.-Internationai Quar-
