German Nation Pleased
That Story Is Held Up

BERLIN. Nov. 7.-Great rejoicing
marked the publication of The Times
cable telling of the suppression OF the
Kaiser's interview on world politics.
which was to have been printed in the
December number OF Century Maya
zine.
While the German foreign office dis
claims any connection with the sup
preston or the interview. cOntending
that sufficient confidence having been
placed in the writer, the government
could not with dignity repudiate his Ut
terance Ia advance Of publication. it is
generally understood that satisfaction
prevails throughout German diplomatic
circles.
Members Of the reichstag, incensed by
the publication of the now famous
'-Boer War interview, had been eX-
cited to an abnormal degree by the
heraided article In the Century, but
since the news OF its suppression there
IS a noticeable inclination to regard the
-3ncident as closed.

DENIES SIGNATURE OF
CARITHERS Is GENUINE
Two Wills Introduced in Contested
Will Case One of Which Is De-
clared by Witness to Be
Doubtful

In the contested will case of Robert
Carithers against Della A. Carithers.
widow of William d. Carithers, which
has been on trial in Judge Bordwell's
court for two days, but two witnesses
testified yesterday.
The first witness was Robt. CaritherS,
who swore he was the petitioner for
reconsideration of the probate of the
will. w. M. Hipsley of Table Grove,
ILL.,, a brother-in-law of the deceased,
was on the stand the greater part of
the day. He said he had lived at the
Carithers home in Los Angeles from
September u to 30, 1906 Mrs. Carithers,
he said, objected to his presence, but
her husband declared he must remain.
One day, said the witness, Carithers
told him he had made disposition Of
his property and provided for num-
Der of relatives. He also gave testi-
mony to prove that Carithers was of
unsound mind at the time of his visit
Hipsley declared the signature to the
will dated August is. 1906, which be-
queathed a portion of the estate to a
sister in Illinois and the residue to his
widow was not that of Carithers.
Another paper, purporting 10 be
will, dated May 3, 1906, was shown to
the witness and the signature of this
will, he said, was genuine.
The provisions of the latter will were
not allowed to be placed in evidence,
and it's admissability was being argued
when court adjourned.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
Formula for Complexion Restorer
and Skin Food Popular Among
Partisan Ladies

The women of Paris are world-fa-
nous for their beauty. For classical
features they cannot compare with the
English or American women, but as is
well known, features count for little If
not accompanied by a good complex
ion, and this is where the French wo-
men excel. Their rose tinted skin is
the envy of society ladies of all nations.
A prominent New York lady recently
returned from sojourn in Paris,
brought back with her the formula for
a toilet preparation which, although
very simple, is in general use in all the
cities of France by the ladies for the
preservation of their highly priced
compilations. The formula is as fol-
lows:
Two ounces rose water, one ounce
cologne spirits, four ounces crystallized
Sartoin (skin food). Put the Sartoin
into a pint of hot water mot boiling),
and when dissolved and cooled add the
rose water and cologne spirits and
strain through fine CLOTH Any large
bottle or a fruit jar will serve as a
receptacle, providing it can be closed
air tight These ingredients are OBJ
tainable from any well stocked drug
gist and very easily mixed.
It should be used every day and mas
saged well into the skin.
The results are said to be truly re-
n1arkable and commence to show after
the first few applications, but the treat
ment should be continued until the
rosy glow to the complexion Is per-
manent.

Rolla Robe, who was about ten days

San Quentin after conviction on a
charge of murder, yesterday withdrew,
through his attorney, Arthur l.. Veitch,
the certificate of probable cause and
asked for commitment to the peniten-

Mrs Robe yesterday afternoon called
on her husband for the last time in
Los Angeles. In her arms she carried a
number of packages containing books,

Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning.
1t is not believed the defense will be
in a position to rest its case before the
beginning of next week. Miss Quinones
has not yet concluded her testimony on
cross examination and two other i'm
portant witnesses remain to be heard
But two days remain this week during
which the trial can be carried on, Fri
day being set aside for the hearing Of

It is therefore probable the prosecu-

duce rebuttal evidence before Tuesday,
Notwithstanding the fact that the de-
Tense last week expressed the hope it
would close last night.
