Built by Owners Of
HIGH CLASS IMPROVEMENTS

Crescent Heights is located in West
Hollywood on q gentle sloping hillside
leading from the boulevard UP to the
foot Of Laurel canyon. This is one of
the largest and best plated tracts that
has ever been put on the market in or
around Los Angeles.
Norton g. Hay, the owners of this
beautiful section, have spared neither
pains nor money in making 1t one OF
the most desirable of suburban resi-
dence tracts. All street grading and
curbing has been completed and water
is furnished by the West Side Water
company, piped to every lot through
large cast iron mains.
The first time the writer visited
Crescent Heights was on q specially
conducted parlor car excursion and the
expressions of the numerous business
men who attended were such as to
gladden. the heart of any real estate
promoter.
The magnificent view afforded from
this tract is unsurpassed in California.
Standing anywhere in the tract a per-
bOu Cdu see oil 1LOS AhSSiSS, IlOAAJ
wood and a great expanse Of the Pa
cific ocean.
Notwithstanding the raise Of 20 per
cent on the price of these large villa
lots, the sales go merrily along.
Norton & Hay are giving free ex-
cursions every Sunday from. their office
at 31S West Third street, so that any
one wishing to visit this beautiful
health-giving locality may do so with
out cost to themselves.
c. e. Norton is having plans drawn
for a $4,000 home to be started at
Crescent Heights within the next two
weeks.

SCHOOL TO
INSTRUCT CHAUFFEURS
L. 3. Austin, Educational Director OF
Y. M. C. A., Explains Object OF
Establishing Study Course

"The present type Of chauffeur is un-
satisfactory and unreliable. Many of
them are Incorporate. They are said
to be In with the repairers and pur-
posely break the automobiles for the
commission allowed them, thus endan-
gering the lives of the occupants"
These were the expressions made yes
terday by L. B. Austin, educational
director of the Y. M. G. A.
To establish better type of chauf-
feurs, the Y. M. C. A. has started an
automobile school for training, and 1t
is receiving encouragement from busi-
ness men of Los Angeles. The Auto
mobile club of Southern California
offered its sanction and assistance to
start the school.
This school will have for its object
the training of owners, chauffeurs. re-
pairers and others connected with the
automobile industry.
among the banes Of indiscriminate
uses of machines" said Mr.. Austin.
"is the lack of knowledge in running
and repairing them. The school pro-
poses to give thorough examinations at
the close of the courses and issue GER
tlficates of good character and relia-
bility. These certificates will hold good
only three months, subject to renewals
upon favorable reports from employers.
In this way we hope to establish a
system of furnishing competent chauf-
feurs.
1.-THE plan of the school is to furnish
popular lectures through November and
December. Thorough operative courses
will be given in which the students will
receive individual attention in the
study of all the parts Of the machines
Frequent demonstrations on the road
will be made"
The advisory committee, which will
consist of prominent business men. will
soon be selected.

WOMEN HELD FOR PERJURY.
Tried to Get in on an Estate OF
100000.

Chicago, July Mrs. Matilda Bender
and her daughter, Marie, have been ar
rested on charges of perjury and con-
spiracy in connection with their attempt
to secure for Charlotte Bender wild
ows share in the estate of the late Col
oneI George T. Cline. The estate for
which the Benders were fighting is val
ued at almost 100000.
The story which was told to Judge
Cutting by Mrs. Bender and her daugh-
ter some months ago hangs on their
contention that Robert Cline, now dead,
and the dead millionaire were one and
the same persons. They declared that
while posing as Robert Cline, cattle
buyer from Texas, ''he married Charlotte
Bender.
During the proceedings before Judge
Cutting and later before the grand jury
the supposed widow of the millionaire
did not appear to testify, her mother
and sister saying that she was being
confined to an insane asylum
Judge Cutting refused to recognize
the claims of Charlotte Bender and rec
commended, that the grand jury invest1-
gate the case. AS the result the mother
and sister of the claimant were in
dicted and the indictments kept secret
until their arrest.

why Not an Honest Man?

From the Ottawa RepuDIlc.I
First National bank of Topeka, which
failed Monday. The money was de-
positel with the bank by State Treas
urer Kelly, in direct violation of the
laws of the state. Nobody is surprised,
as it was well known that Kelly made
improper use of state funds before his
reelection last fall. The people re-
tanned him in Office, despite the knowl-
edge of his -crookedness, defeating Tom
Dolan and William Fogle, both of
whom were known to be honest and
square. Why do sensible voters do
such things? Must Kansas, which
never tires boasting of it's high intelli-
gence and incompatible morals, con-
fess itself unable to secure an honest
handling of it's public funds? If so,
we would better quit sneering at Ar
kansaw and poor old Missouri

A Bad Bank Failure.

From the Holton Recorder.J
The failure of Devlin's First National
bank at Topeka the first of this week
is one of the worst bank failures that
has occurred in the west. The cause of
the failure seemed to be that Devlin
the principal owner and president, Dor
rowed all the money and left depositors,
including the state of Kansas, to whis-
tie. The friends of Devlin claim that
there will be enough assets to pay de-
positors in full. but we guess no one be-
lieves it. We have just now no reco1-
lections of a bank failure where the de-
positors were paid in full. We believe
about 10 cents on the dollar is the rule
If bank is able to pay depositors in
full there would be no excuse for it to
break.
Devlin was a great friend of our dis
tinguished state treasurer and is on his
bond for 100000. The amount OF state
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-07-07

was $547, 900. There is law prohibit
ing the treasurer depositing state funds
in banks. but Kelly seems always to
have been above and beyond the law,
privileged character whose right to do
question.
If anyone but T. T. Kelly had unlaw-
fully jeopardized $547 900 of the state
treasury funds we would expect that
big howl would be raised. But Kelly
and his gang have nearly everybody so
cowed that they hardly dare to speak
above their breath in condemnation of
any act OF his,

THE FARMERS HOME
Shares in the Benefits of Scien-
tific Progress
Mrs. L. o. Law Shows How the Bur-
den of the Farmers Wife May
Be Lightened.


The traveller through fields of corn
and grain in such states as Kansas,
sees from the car windows numerous
applications of modern inventive skill
TO the production of the farmer
wealth. and in every county seat he
finds a large display of machinery for
cult1vating and harvesting crops. He
cannot so readily learn to what extent
the farmers home has shared in the
general advance, but he knows how
essential 10 the farmers happiness
must be everything that ministers to
the strength and cheerfulness of his
partner - the faithful housewife.
tn ousands of farmers wives, in the
Great West particularly, will read
with interest the story of the struggle
of one of their mum Der to meet the
constant demand upon her strength
until she found that she was losing
must cease to be a helpmate and enter
the class of confirmed invalids, if help
did not come from some source that
would renew her strength.
Mrs. L. o. Law of No. 324 North
street, Horton, Kansas, says: ''In
1897, while we were living on a farm
in this neighborhood, became gen.
orally debilitated as the result of over
work. I had serious indigestion, lost
my appetite, suffered from a sense of
suffocation and from obstruction of the
circulation, so that artificial means had
to be used to restore it. After suffer-
ing for months without finding any re-
lief, tried a box of DR.. Williams
tsink Pills which I had seen advertised
in a newspaper. The first few boxes
made me lots better. and after using
the third box I felt entirely well.
About two years afterward I ran down
again and Immediately resumed taking
the pills. In two months I was fully
restored to vigor and have held the
gain ever since. I am now in excellent
health and am able not only to take
care of my house but also to assist my
husband in a store which he has lately
taken. Pink Pills have helped me
every time I have taken them. They
deserve to be recommended. They are
so simple, so easily taken and so
prompt in their action. have said
this to many already and am glad to
say it to still more"
This. remedy, being in the form of a
pill, is manifestly free from alcohol,
against which so much has been print
ed, and it is guaranteed to contain
nothing that can injure the most deli
cate constitution. The pills can be OBJ
tanned from all druggists and at most
general stores.

Now Lock the Stable.

From the Wichita Beacon.
1t will be well for Governor Hoch to
see that the bond of State Treasurer
Kelly is properly renewed. One-half
of the million dollars surety required
of the treasurer was furnished by c..
J. Devlin, the millionaire whose af-
fairs are involved in the closing of the
First National bank at Topeka. While
the other half is surety company bond,
and is therefore good, no delay should
occur in protecting the state by Sc
curing a new bondSman at once. The
state treasury is under investigation at
present, which makes it especially
urgent that the matter of bond be at
tended to.

Kansas Might Have Escaped.
[From the Kansas city Star. ]

IFrOm the Kansas CITY. Star.1
1t is not the slightest violation of
modesty to say that if the people of
Kansas had needed the counsel of the
Star when Tom Kelly was running for
reelection as state treasurer last year
they would not now be facing the en-
barrassment incident to the suspension
of the First National bank of Topeka,
in which more than u million of the
funds of the state were deposited, as
a reward, inferentially, to Mr.. Devlin,
who was on Kelly's bond for II million
dollars.
This lapse of public policy is not
more convincing of the unf1tness of
Kelly to act as custodian of the funds
of Kansas than other evidence that
was brought out against him during
the campaign. There will be plenty of
newspapers to censure the state treas
urer now, and even Governor Koch
may realize that 1t is nearly time to do
something about Kelly.
