Advantages Of the Man Who Is Able
TO Talk Well,

Advantages Of the Man Who ls Able
to Talk Well.
There Is no other one thing which
enables us to make so GOOD an i'm
preston, especially upon those who do
not know us thoroughly, az the ability
to converse well. A man who can talk
well who has the art of putting things
in an attractive way. who can interest
others Immediately by his power of
speech, has very great advantage
over one who may know more than he,
but who cannot express himself with
ease or eloquence.
You may be coed singer. a fine
artist, you may have IL great many ac-
complishments which people OCCASION
ally see or enjoy, you may have very
beautiful home and lot of property
which comparatively few people ever
know about, but If you are good con.
verser every one you meet recognizes
and appreciates your art Everybody
you converse with feels the influence
of your skill and charm.
IN other words, there Is no accom-
pllshment, no attainment, which you
can use so constantly and effectively
which will give so much pleasure to
your friends as fine conversation
There is no doubt that the gift Of Ian
guage was intended to be q much
greater accomplishment than the ma
jcrity of us have ever made of it

ACCUSES OFFICIALS
OF USING THREATS
SAYS HE WAS FRIGHTENED
INTO GIVING NOTES
Mining and Realty Promoter Charges
Judge and Court Reporter with
Forcing Him to Sign
Papers
[speoial TO The Heraldl

SAN BERNARDINO, July 14.-In a
sensational answer to a suit filed by
Judge +. f. Oster and l. Benjamin,
court reporter, against John Denair and
john d. Warren to foreclose a mort
gage on a note originally executed by
the latter and given by the former as
security for two notes held by Messrs.
Oster and Benjamin, Denair charges
that he was scared into giving the
notes and security by the two county
officials and their attorneys, threaten
ing TO send him to jail ii he failed to
make good a land deal which he had
transacted with the plaintiffs and
which they claim was not what they
thought it was.
The notes which Denair gave Oster
and Benjamin were $3.50 each. and as
collateral security Denair assigned a
note and mortgage for S1S90, payable
to Denair, executed by John d. War
fen February II, 1909, al Needles, with
interest payable monthly at per cent
per annum. The last payment of in
terest was made on April Il. and un-
able to receive satisfaction Oster and
Benjamin June IA filed suit to fore
close the mortgage.
The financial difficulty originated
over land deal in which Oster and
Benjamin invested something like $4,000
in Turlock land through Denair, and
later discovered that the property was
not what they thought it was, and
while Denair was attending a meeting
of the Orange Blossom mining direc-
tors here, Judge Oster sent for him
to come over to his chambers where,
Denair alleges, he was actually scared
into signing the notes by threats of
imprisonment and his fear caused him
to acceed to their demands
Denair is the original promoter of the
Orange Blossom mine. through which
the residents OF this city alone invested
between $4,000 and 100000 in stock at
S1.25, which now can be purchased for
6 cents.
The case now pending is being
watched with interest all over san
Bernardino county, in which the men
concerned are we'll known. Denair for
years being superintendent of the

CITY ASSESSMENT INCREASES
NEARLY TWO MILLION DOLLARj

PASADENA, July 14-Pasadena is
getting rich. The city auditor has just
completed his figures for assessment
of property and finds the official total
for the city is $39, G30,904
Last year the total was $37, 452, sos.
This total may be changed if the
council. sitting as d board of equaliza-
ton, raises or lowers the assessments.
1t is expected, however. that it will
substantially stand. To it will have to
be added $500 for the city's share of
railway taxes collected by the state.
The detailed statement shows that
the east side has now passed the north
side in value, showing the rapid growth
of that section of the city. The total
increase of one and three-quarter mill
lions is very gratifying to residents of
this city.

ALLEGED THAT F. A. CHAPMAN

Arrested Man Said to Be Fritzie

Job in Ontario,
Canada
[snecial to Tho Herald.l


PASADENA, July 14.-Police authori-
ties believe they have pickpocket of
national reputation in #. A. Chap-
man." who was arrested in South
Pasadena Monday by Marshal joins
son on a charge of highway robbery,
having tried to nip a diamond stud,
according to the charge.
Chapman is said by those who have
been him to be Fritzie Deihn formerly
of Dayton. o., and accused of bank
sneak job in Ontario, Canada, where
he is said to have secured $4,000.
w. W. Freeman, detective and form
er chief of police, who arrived in Pasa-
dena from Alaska yesterday, was able
to throw some interesting light on
Fritzie Deihn this afternoon.
He says that Deihn is a member of
the same gang as Sheeny Benny, who
was arrested here for the same offense
during G. A. r. week, and who is now
awaiting trial in the superior court.
Sheeny Benny was wanted in New
York for the murder of a man two
years ago. Within twenty-four hours
of his arrest here. under the name of
Joe Hill, the principal witness against
him in New York city was suddenly
put out of the way by knife thrust
For this reason Sheeny Ben Andelson
was never taken back to New York for
trial.
Anticipating a similar fate for the
man who identified f. A. Chapman as
Fritzie Deihn, the police refuse to
give out his name.
Freeman says that Fritzie Deihn has
been in Southern California all win
ter He was looking for him on a
charge from the east a few months
ago, but Fritzie was at that time keep
ing under cover.
His speciality is said to be work as
pickpocket and sneak thief but he oc-
casionally pulls off a big job like the
bank sneak act, it is said.
At the time of his arrest Chapman
showed his experience in the business
by running through a street car and
making hasty change in his costume
as he went through.

LITTLE NEWS JOTTINGS
FROM AROUND SANTA ANA

SANTA ANA, July 14.-An amicable
settlement, according to Gen. Case,
manager of the sugar factory, has been
arrived at between James McFadden
and the factory people as to the right
to store beet pulp on the factory preml-
ses. and for this reason the pulp Will
be thus stored. The factory site was
secured from Mr. McFadden, and he
is said to have inserted a clause in the
contract of transfer prohibiting the
storing of beet pulp because of the un-
pleasant odor arising from the stuff.
At a meeting of the city school board
last night it was decided to advertise
for sale the Fifth street school building
and grounds and the Central primary
building The Fifth street site has
been abandoned for several years be-
cause of it's location in regard to the
sewer mains making it impossible to
connect with the outfall, and the Cen
tral primary building has been con-
demned by the last two grand juries as
a fire trap.
With but one more day left for eX-
animation of the assessment rolls, there
have been no complaints of unequal
assessments heard by the board of
equalization. and the only action thus
far taken looking to change in the
figures as submitted by the assessor
was the issuance of a citation to a
property owner at Olive, to show cause
why certain property assessed at $2S70,
shall not be taxed higher.
