DOUBT is REMOVED
Specialists Are Convinced that Oil of
Wintergreen Wash Will Cure.

Many eczema sufferers have failed
so utterly with salves and other dis
coveries' that even the assurance OF
the best physician or druggist can not
induce them to invest another dollar
in any remedy
1t is to these discouraged sufferers
in particular that we now offer, at
only rs cents, trial size bottle OF
the accepted standard eczema remedy,
a simple wash of oil of wfrltergreen
as compounded in D. d. d. Prescrip-
ton
The best skin specialists long ago
became convinced that this simple
wash offered the only true cure for
eczema, and the, thousands OF cures
could not help. but convince us also.
We confidently hope that with our
assurances every sufferer will be
willing to try this D. p. D. remedy,
at 25 cents; especially as we know
you can prove instantly with the first
application that it takes away the itch
at once.

MINING SW|NDLfRS
CAUGHT IN HOTEL
Three Men Take Money as Se-
curity, Promising Profitable
Work in North

OAKLAND, Nov. Thames l. Rol-
lins, A. S. Ameral and E. Cecil Wilson
promoters of lucrative mining swim
and Collins were fellow convicts at San
Quentin, were arrested this afternoon
at the Hotel st. Mark, where they have
operated since last June. They are
believed to have obtained from victims
thousands of dollars, which Rollins is
supposed to have doled out to his as
tsociates or spent in champagne din
ners and pleasure.
Rollins was the leader of the gang
He was convicted in Oakland three
years ago for working precisely the
same swindle, and served a sentence al
the federal prison at McNeils island
Washington. He interested honest men
in his deals and, in consequence, be-
came one of the well known figures al
the hotel. He fell into the tolls with
his two assistants today only through
the suspicious entertained by Norman
Mcleod, an employe of the general hos
p1tai at the San Francisco Presidio.
MANY MORE VICTIMS
Mcleod, like % other men of whom
the police know, was promised steady
and remunerative employment in Alas
ka mines. He was induced to turn over
to the operators $50 as guaranty OF
his good faith. Today he swore out
warrants charging the men with OBJ
taining money under false pretenses.
Ameral was formerly a deputy sher-
III or Tulare country, and met Rollins
when both men wore stripes in the
state prison. Rollins gave him a half
interest in the Hypatic mining COM
pany, which Rollins represented as
owner of valuable properties on Queen
Charlotte island, and at White pass
Skagway. When they were released in
June the two men came to Oakland
and Rollins took rooms at the st. Mark
Other men were interested in the min
ing work" and eventually E. Cecil Will
son bought an eight interest in the Hy-
patio mining company from Rollins and
Ameral.
DEPOSIT FOR GOOD FAITH
From each man who was hired either
Ameral or Wilson took a good faith
deposit of from $50 to $500. The vic
tins were given stock as security, and
were promised two years steady work
at $3.50 to $3.50 day.
SEARCH FOR CAPITALIST
While maintaining themselves in af-
fiuence by means of the deposits the
trio have been looking for a man with
money to invest. DIR. C.. W. Norcross,
a physician with an Office in the Bacon
block. was drawn into negotiations. He
suspected the manipulators and with
drew. He was interested through his
acquaintance with George Dunlap, the
former mayor of Gilroy
The Hypatians then tried incorpora-
tiOn Thew retained T. + RoSa af-
torney, and had papers sent to Arizona.
The incorporators were Rollins, Ameral,
Wilson and an Arizona man, whom
Rose recommended in good faith.
Thus far the only direct evidence
against the accused is that obtained
through Mcleod, who was taken to
Petersen by Attorney j. j. Van Hoven-
berg. to whom Mcleod had gone for
advice.

RELICS PICTURE LIFE
OF EARLY JEWELLERS
Uniyersity's Museum of An.
thropology Is Interesting
and Comprehensive

BERKELEY Nov. 1.-THE collec-
versity's anthropological museum now
number 10000 specimens. There are
$4,000 separate catalogue entries, many
of which Individually cover groups or
sets of pieces. Thirty five different
tribes in all sections of the state are
represented by relics of their imple-
ments, baskets, weapons, dance regalia,
tools and objects of art of all kinds.
In addition there are large numbers of
ancient pieces from the burial places
and shell heaps left by the prehistoric
ancestors of the recent tribes. In this
way the collections preserve COM
plete picture of the life of California S
earlier occupants, which is already of
great historical value and will become
Increasingly important as the Indians
become extinct or civilized and relics
are no longer to be obtained.
Collections of some sort have been
made in California for other museums
in this country, and prehistoric mate
rial has been shipped even to European
institutions. The uniyersity's collec-
ton is, however, larger and more COM
plete than any of these and by far the
most carefully made.
The collections illustrating the Cali
fornia Indians are only one section of
several comprised in the university's IS
museums of anthropology, forming
about a third of the whole. There are
also large collections from Egypt
Greece and Rome, the ancient Incas
of Peru, the Pacific islanders. the Phil
ippines, Alaska and the various tribes
of North American Indians At the
present time the collections are kept
and arranged in the westernmost of
the university's buildings at the Affili-
ated Colleges in San Francisco, where
they are on exhibition to the public
on Thursday afternoons.
