FEAR OF TIDAL WAVE is
NOT SIGN OF INSANITY
CHARLES A. RoBINsoN's WILL is
PRoBATED
Judge Rules Peculiar Belief About
Seismic Troubles and San Franz
cisco Grafters Does Not Con-
stitute Incompetency

Because a man has decided opinions
about municipal graft, and has an in
herent fear of earthquakes and tidal
waves, he is not to be considered in
sane, according to a decision rendered
yesterday by Judge Rives in the probate
court.
The point was raised in the contest of
the will of Charles A. Robinson, who
died in Los Angeles few months ago,
leaving an estate valued. at $4,000 He
made but one specific bequest in the
will, giving $500 to Miss Teresa Martin
of San Francisco, niece of his wife's,
whom he regarded as his own child. The
rest of the estate he left to be divided
among the other heirs.
Upon this special bequest Mrs. Rob-
inson has raised a contest, claiming that
the deceased was of unsound mind, and
citing as instances of his mental aber-
ration that he repeatedly talked of the
graft charges at San Francisco, and also
feared the whole Pacific coast was to be
destroyed by another earthquake and a
tidal wave He was 81 years old.
Contestants argue" said Judge Rives,
in ruling adversely to the contestants,
that his discussions about official cor
ruption and his fear of tidal wave were
fixed decisions.
Fortunately it is not necessary that
a man have scientific knowledge, nor
hold correct political theories to enable
him to make a will. 1t may be that he
had exaggerated ideas of municipal
corruption and was unnecessarily afraid
of seismic disturbances, but in the light
of recent upheavals, together with the
proximity of them to the time of the
making of the will, I am not prepared
to say that any ideas he had on those
subjects were entirely unfounded'

JUDGE TELLS OFFICERS
TO CATCH AUTO SPEEDERS
DOUBTFUL CASES 'lEVER INSURE
CONVICTION
Court Tells PatroImen That fragrant
Violations Are Plentiful and
They Should Be Looked
After

"You speed patrolmen ought to respect
the intentions of careful considerate
drivers of automobiles who exercise dis
erection in running their machines. Why
don't you go after the reckless men who
drive their automobiles at high speed and
violate not only the letter but the spirit
of the law?
"There are many fragrant violators of
the law whom you never get Most of
them are automobile statesmen L know
of two named Reuss and Meyers. Get
after those fellows and bring them to
me and I'll see that they don't come
again"
These and many more things were said
to pair of speed patrolmen of the Los
Angeles police force by Justice Freder-
ickson yesterday when the case of War
rem Carhart was being tried.
1t appeared from the evidence that Car
hart was going but very little over the
speed limit, if he was exceeding it at all.
There was a doubt as to the exact speed
Carhart was making, and the speed pa
trolmen pushed their doubtful case so
vigorously that it called forth the above
statements from the judge.
Carhart is the son of a wealthy banker
in Los Angeles and occupies a prominent
position in society. He said that he was
not violating the law, and as the evidence
given by the policemen was doubtful,
Justice Frederickson dismissed the case.

COLLECTOR is ARRESTED ON
A CHARGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT

C. A. Bartell, collector for the Cudahy
Packing company, was arrested last night
by Deputy Constable II. B. Woodward
and placed in the county jail on a charge
of embezzlement.
1t is alleged that Bartell used 1923 of
the packing company's money for his
own use. He claimed that he had lost
the money and had an arrangement to
pay it back at the rate of $25 month.
This agreement, it is said, he failed to
keep, and T. II. White the local cashier
for the company, swore to complaint in

INFANT IS INJURED
BY BLANK CARTRIDGE
Discharge of Gun Lodges Wadding in
Groin of Two-Year-OId and
the Result May Be
Fatal

Jacob Margolis, the 2-year-old son of
I. Margolis, 42e North Bunker Hill av-
enue, was badly injured yesterday by a
toy pistol in the hands of another small
child The gun was discharged close to
the chiId's body, and the wadding of
the blank cartridge made a hole in the
groin an inch long and quarters
of an inch deep.
A physician was summoned who treat
ed the child at it's home An injection
of anti-tetanic serum was applied to
prevent an attack of lock-jaw. The doc
tors say that in a deep wound of this
nature there is much danger of lock- jaw,
because the air cannot get to the in
fected place. Late last night the child
was resting easily.

Persistent VioIator of Ordinance Is
Punished

Tom WeIch's persistent desire to ride
upon the sidewalk cost him s. in Justice
Frederickson's court yesterday morning
when he was arraigned ION a misdemeanor
charge.
There were two cases against WEIGH.
A complaint had been issued by the city
prosecutor charging WEIGH with violating

he found him riding his wheel on the
sidewalk near his home. So the officer
arrested him and booked him on two
charges, one for the complaint and one
for an offense which the officer had seen
committed.
The Justice dismissed one charge and
on the other fined WEIGH S..

How many wonderland men too

health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to check! How many hus.

steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to help! Consumption

The symptoms indicating the decline

statement of Mrs. William Marley, Of

Dr.. Williams Pink Pills instead. I
soon noticed that my headache was dis.
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me q
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
1870 pounds. I believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
us they certainly helped me when my

The great value Of Dr.. Williams Pink

TO the Editor.
Dear Sir,
willingly give you the result Of my
four and half years experience in
The District OF Saltcoats.
Previous to coming here farmed In
Baldwin, st. Croix County, Wisconsin,
and as have heard great deal about
The Canadian Northwest, I decided
10 take a trip there and see the coun.
try for myself. was SO impressed
with the richness of the soil that I
bought half section of land about
1--WE miles from the town of Saltcoats.
| moved on to the land the following
June and that year broke 80 acres,
which l cropped In 1904. and had 80
bushels wheat per acre. In 1905, with
IN acreage of 100 acres. I had "a bush.
els wheat and IS bushels of oats per
,cre. In 1906. with 175 acres under
crop, l had rs bushels wheat and As
bushels Of oats per acre.
From the above mentioned yields
you can readily understand that I am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. OF course. have had to work
hard, but I don't mind that when I
get such good return for my labor.
To anyone thinking about coming to
this country can truthfully say that
II they are prepared to work and not
grumble at trifies, they are bound to
get on. Some things would like DIFF.
