YELLED IN MYSTERY
Woman Who Spent Several
Hours With Slain Man
Makes Confession
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 3.-The absence
of a satisfactory explanation from Mrs.
Frederick Rustin, whose husband was
murdered Wednesday morning, and a
written statement by Miss Leona Bon
nell, who admits having spent several
hours with him Tuesday evening. Sc
cured by Chief of Police Donahue to-
day, are believed to be clews which
will later develop the sequel of Rus
tins untimely death.
5. While the police decline to connect
these stories and Chief Donohue refuses
even to express an opinion as to how
Rustin came by his death, many people
who know the Rustins well and who
have known of the doctors infatuation
for Miss Bonnell, believe Rustin was
the victim Of a jealous woman's bullet.
The story told by Miss Bonnell makes
1t clear that Rustin for several months
has led a dual life She admitted that
she had been occupying suite of hand
somely furnished rooms at the expense
of Rustin and that she had been seeing
him daily since her first acquaintance.
She also stated In her written con-
fession that she met Rustin about 8
o'clock on the night of the tragedy,
spent an hour or more with him in his
office downtown and from there walked
up Farnam street as far as Fortieth,
a distance Of about two miles, In his
company.
1T don't want to go on record as say
ing 1t is either murder or suicide"
said Chief OF Police Donahue," but the
whole matter will be given full hear
ing at the inquest. when we will pre-
sent all the evidence we have
The inquest has been set for Tuesday.

The SECRET
OF SUCCESS
Doing the Right Thing
at the Right
Time

Yesterday we made this statement:
THE major portion of many lives is
spent in doing the wrong thing. which
is especially true in real estate deal
ings, and it will be just as gratifying
to you as 1t is to ourselves that we can
present an opportunity that spells
The Right Thing"
We like to do the right thing. and
what is most gratifying to US is the
enormous volume of business coming
to our Offices, resulting from our ad-
herence to a policy of square dealing
and honesty of purpose.
In tomorrow's newspapers <Satur-
day. will appear over our signature
the greatest real estate announcement
ever before published inNa newspaper
or anything else-not In point Of the
space it will occupy. but in the char
acter and worth of the property; the
manner In which : it is to be sold; the
contracts entered into between seller
and buyer; why it is put on sale; where
1t is and why II is; why millions In
money have been spent there and what
for; why it Is a city; why it will be
one of Californias largest. cities; and
truths, facts and figures that you will
read and digest before you eat your
breakfast,
Never before has a. property been
offered that harmonizes so well with
the idea of doing the right thing at
the right time
You will never see or have an oppor-
tunity Like the one we will place before
you tomorrow.
The cheapest thing to give away is
advice. but when we say the mere read
ing and thinking about doing some
thing will never bring you anything
we are giving you advice that is worth
something-you must act.
Tomorrow is your day to read and
think-then act
We again ask all to be patient-we
are doing our best to serve all equally
well. Come In and see us.

WEST OF POWELL
OWNERS COMPLAIN
Say Rehabilitation of District Is
Retarded by Rigid Fire
Limit Laws
VIII Submit Plans to Supervis.
Ors for Wooden Structures
With Metal Guards

The executive committee OF the re-
Gently formed West OF Powell Street
Property Owners association met yes
terday afternoon in the Office Of D. S.
Dorm in the Humboldt building and
drew up general plans for q type. Of
building suitable for the district be-
tween Powell street and Van Ness ave-
nue.. The rehabilitation of this sec
ton has been retarded by the legal
requirements which call for class A,
3 or c edihces IN this portion of the
city. AS many of the holdings in this
district are % foot lots the owners
have been disinclined to build. feeling
that they would be unable TO obtain
an adequate return on so expensive
q structure as the law requires.
The committee drew up tentative
plans yesterday which will be sub
Tnitted 10 the underwriters for approval.
The real estate board has already ex-
pressed satisfaction with the type of
structure proposed, but no definite ac-
tion viii be taken until the under
writer's have passed on the proposal
The structure. as contemplated, is a
type modelled after that selected for
some of the school buildings. The
frame is of wood, but is covered with
metal lsths and cement The roof is
6reproof, and the cornice and window
frames Of metal It is proposed to limit
the height of building of this type
20 three stories with high basement.
II is stated that IL such a type of
structure were allowed in the district
west OF Powell street construction
would be begun at once on a large
number Of fats, small apartments and
bosrdings houses. It is contended that
& structure as contemplated would re-
sist fire almost as well as the class c
brick buildings.
IN case the underwriters give their
approval a special committee will be
appointed to draw detailed plans to be
incorporated in a new city ordinance.
II is held by the property owners
Interested that the speedy rehabilitation
Of the district demands an amendment
of the building laws. 1t is stated that
this district contained 10000 persons
before the fire, but that less than one
fourth Of that number reside there at
the present time.
Among those present at yesterdays 6
meeting were: D. S. Dorm, c. A Stew

and John 7. Harness.

company met them TO maintain their
trade.
Several OF the New York state gro-
GERS who do business near the Massa-
chusetts line told OF having been Of
fered oil by the Hisgen Brothers of
Springfield. Mass, at a lower price
than charged them by the Standard
oil company.
One of the witnesses, in reply to a
question. said he received no threaten
ing letters from the Standard oil COM
pany and that no effort was made TO
stop him from buying oil from the in
dependents.
Charles E. Arnold of Stissing, N. Y,
testified that Hisgen Brothers sold him
oil at IL cents a gallon when the Stan
dard asked 13 cents. but the witness
afterward bought from the Standard
oil company because it had a con-
venient tank line service.
Did you know the Standard was
selling oil in Springfield for cents at
the same time it was charging you 1s
cents?" Kellogg asked
'I did not

Hisgens were charging you IL cents in

the Standard price. did your Rosen-
thai asked.

LYNCH GAINS A POINT
AOne of the Five Informafions
Is Set Aside

Lynch was granted his release on
habeas corpus proceedings by Judge
Dunno yesterday so far as one OF the
informations against him is concerned
but in regard to the other four Informal
tlons the Judge refused the writ and
continued the hearing to this morning.
The only practical relief Lynch gets
from this order is that he is absolved
from the necessity of putting up bail
on one Of the informations. The point
involved was whether or not the pre-
Iminary examination in the police
court had been continued over the stat
utory period OF six days.
After argument by Attorney T. c.
west, representing Lynch; Attorney
. Dennis Duffy. who appeared for the
Ocean Shore railway company, and As
sistant District Attorney Louis Ferrari.
Judge Dunno decided that in the one
case upon which Lynch was arraigned
continuances for more than six days
had been granted. but as to the other
four charges he said the evidence was
not complete.

Joyed by nearly 500 women, long tables
had been spread in the Norman ROOM

grape leaves, with the rich fruit at
tached; long branches of fruited plum

room was hung with hundreds of col
Iege banners and flags and graduates
from the various universities were
seated in separate groups. Eleven col

tional president, Miss Laura Drake Gill,
Dean Marian Reilly of Bryn Mawr.
Mrs. E. J. Wilbur of the Portland
branch and Mrs. Prince. prominent
