A Trustee Dependable

The advantages which come
to an estate through the APP
pointment OF a good TRUST
COMPANY as executor are SO
obvious that it seems to be nee
essary to do little more than to
call the attention OF testators
to these advantages to secure
the INVARIABLE SELECTION
OF THE TRUST COMPANY
RATHER THAN THE INDl-
VIDUAL.
The NEW YORK SUN in a
recent editorial gives some OF
these reasons in a very compre-
hensive way:
Trust Companies As Executors.
One advantage in making a
rich trust company your execu-
tor is obvious. Even If your
estate is mismanaged the exeeu-
tor is responsible and a judicial
decree compelling 1t to make
good the loss is always capable
of enforcement. This is particu-
larly important in cases where
women without any knowledge
or experience in business are the
beneficiaries of a testamentary
trust. If their trustee is IN in
dividual and he steals or squan-
ders the trust property the bene-
ficiaries are ruined; whereas,
they are exposed to no such
danger If their trustee is a SOL
vent trust company. 1t Is true
that the representatives of the
trust company who aetually
the affairs of the estate
may so manage them as to incur
inexcusable losses, but if this
happens the losses fall upon the
trust company and not upon the
beneficiaries.i
This element of financial Sc
curity appeals. more and more
to thoughtful tes~tators, and the
appointment of trust companies
as executors is much more COM
NOR than it used to be,
FIDELITY TRUST co.
with 81 million dollars of Re-
sources and 8 million dollars OF
Surplus, presents advantages to
the Estate WHICH NO TESLA
TOR SHOULD IGNORE.

sHUBERTs TO BUILD.
If They Can't Get Theaters on the
Coast Any Other Way.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 5.-Oliver
MorOScO, manager of the Majestic
and Burbank theaters in this city, will
make public today an offer made to
him by j. j. Shubert for the control
of the Majestic theater in this city. He
will refuse the offer, however, and it
is quite certain that Mr.. Shubert will
not be able to make any deal with him.
The Majestic is Los Angeles latest
playhouse.
Mr.. Shubert is also negotiating with
the owners of the lease on the Audi
forum. The difficulty with this house
is the inability of the lessor to deliver
it on Sunday nights, when it is used by
Rev. Robert j. Burdett as a Baptist
church.
Mr.. Shubert has been here for two
days and has persistently denied him
self to interviewers. He stated how
ever, that the Shuberts intend to form
a chain of playhouses on the Pacific
coast which should be under their
direction and that they were not con-
cerned with what the theatrical syndi-
cate might do about it. The intention
is. according to Mr.. Shubert, to give to
the Pacific coast just as good
theatrical attractions as the city of
New York has. If a suitable play
house cannot be secured in any of the
coast cities the Shuberts intend to in
wade, one will be built.
1--WE intend to build in San Fran

AUTO TRAIN STALLED.
Was Stuck in the Soft Earth Six
Hours.

Escondido, Cal. April 5.-After being
stalled for six hours in soft piece Of
road mile below this city the big
automobile engine and three trailers of
the California Trona company, which
is making the journey under it's own
power from San Diego to Death Val
ley, via Los Angeles, left Escondido
over the regular automobile inland
route by way of Elsinore.
The overland train left San Diego
Thursday afternoon. Within mile of
EScondido the wheels of one of the
cars sank through the crust of the
roadbed and was buried to the hub
Six hours of strenuous work were re-
quired to extricate the equipment.
The combined power of the cars is
$50 horse power. A shaft runs from
the engine to the first car back to and
clutch connects each section of the
shaft. When the engine is running it
prOpels not only the head car but by
means of this clutch, a connected
shaft, gives impetus to each trailer. A
roller chain connects a cog wheel on
the shaft of each car. A novel effect
is produced when the wheel is in mo-
ton. The wheels are of steel equipped
with teeth to bite into the sand.
The train is to be used for hauling
soda from the mine in the deserts near
johannesburg to the nearest railroad
rs miles away. 1t was brought across
the Atlantic, thence over the isthmus
by the Tehauntepec railroad and from
Sa1ina Cruz to San Diego by a Ham,

AN OLD TORN LETTER.
Leads to the Arrest of New Yorker
in Buenos Ayres.

New York, April 5.-A torn letter
left carelessly in his room was the
means by which the New York police
traced Vito Damiano, an Italian real
estate dealer, to Buenos Ayres. By
this evasive clew alone he was arrest
ed in the South American city last
June and arrived in New York on the
steamship Verdi. He is charged with
the murder of Antonio lombard,
which was committed in this city on
February 4, 1907.
After the murder and the disap-
pearance of Damiano his room was
searched and letter from his BROTH
er in Argentina was discovered.
Though dated some years ago, and
badly torn, detectives formed a theory
that the man would probably visit his
brother, and in this way the arrest
was accomplished.
Police Lieutenant Rocco Cavone,
who brought the prisoner back to this
country, was a close friend and asso-
ciate of Lieutenant Petrosino who was
assassinated recently in Italy. In
South America Damiano successfully
resisted extradition for nine months
and authority to bring him back was
not obtained until his case was car
ried to court of superior jurisdic-

Combination of Small Boys and Cigar
cites Starts a Fire.

Fort Worth. Texas, April 5.-To a
party of small boys and carelessly
thrown cigarette is credited a fire
which destroyed property in south
Fort Worth valued at 100000;
caused the death of j. J. New
ton. a bank employee; caused the Sc
rious injury of six others and render
ed three hundred families homeless.
The burned district is under guard
of state troops to prevent looting. A
mass meeting of citizens was held and
relief committee named.
The fire originated in barn. Driv-
en- by gale the flames quickly spread
to adjoining buildings, quick to ig-
mite because of the extreme dryness
of the wood following protracted
drought. Within a few minutes the
fire was beyond all control. The flames
leaped from building to building.
After eating its way through the
residence district after reducing to
ashes three hundred dwellings, the
Broadway Presbyterian and Baptist
churches and the Swedish chapel and
the Walker sanitarium the fire de-
stroyed the plant of the Sawyer Elec-
trfcal company. The destruction of
five large warehouses followed.
In the yards of the Texas and Pa
cific railroad the round house, repair
shops. coal chutes and box cars were
destroyed.

TO JAIL FOR DEBT
Chicago Woman Refuses to Pay
Judgment for $195.

Chicago, April 5.-Mrs. Emma E.
Kershaw, a woman suffragist and wife
of a wealthy business man, occupies
a cell in the county Jail because she
refuses to pay a judgment of $195
obtained by neighbor, Mrs. Belle Nc
Clelland, who alleged Mrs. Kershaw
attacked and s1andered her following
a dispute over a living apartment
owned by the Kershaws and occupied
by the McClellands. Mrs. Kershaw
was seized on body warrant in the
absence of her husband from home.
The woman declaring she would stay
in Jail six months rather than pay
the judgment, if her prosecutors hus-
band was willing to pay the county
that long for her board, left note on
the dining room table for her hus-
band, and accompanied the deputy
sheriff to prison.
Her note to her husband read:
Dear Otto: Goodbye. / am
going to Jail.
(Signed) EMMA"
Under the law when a person is
seized for debt the disappointed
creditor must pay the prisoners board
at the rate of $3.50 per week.
Otto Kershaw says he is in thorough
sympathy with his wife's determine
ton to suffer Imprisonment rather
than satisfy the judgment. He is
planning to make her Incarceration as
comfortable as possible.

gloves and other bits of feminine
apparel. scheduled in the Payne. tariff
BILL came in for sharp criticism at q
meeting of the state central COM
mittee of the Equal Suffrage associa-

bill were as full of holes as a last
years bonnet.
The meeting voted to instruct the
secretary to draft a protest against
the new rates and this will be sub
mitted to every woman's club in the
state for endorsement and then for
warded to the California delegation in
congress. The committee was un-
animous in its denunciation of the
proposed increase and the speakers
declared 1t to be fitting instance of
the misgovernment of man and his in
justice in dealing with the opposite
sex.

for 20 years forewoman of the dress
making department of Marshall Field
& Co., was fatally burned at her home
