FRESNO RUSSELL.
Another Man Claims to
Be True Russell Heir.
SAYS He Remembers the Old
Home as a Boy.
San Francisco Russell Does Not
Appear to materialize.

Fresno. Calf, March l8.-Another
claimant of the $4,000 estate left by
Daniel Russell of Melrose, Mass, APP
peared today when H. Johnson MADE
affidavit before a notary that his real
name was Daniel Blake Russell son OF
the capitalist, johnson was not aware
that his father was wealthy until he
read of the search for heirs He de-
clared that all his knowledge of the
town of Melrose came from his early
life He described the house in which
he formerly lived as situated on
knoll and facing the principal street.
Johnson is the second California
claimant to the Russell estate. A few
days ago the Melrose police received
a letter from San Francisco written
in behalf of an alleged Daniel Blake
Russell which protested that while he
did not care for the money, he did not
care to see an imposter get it. The
San Francisco police have not found
the writer nor have the police of sew
cral other cities who have been on the
lookout for the real Daniel Blake Rus
sell.
Cambridge, Mass, March 18.-It is
not believed that the report OF another
claimant to the name of Daniel Blake
Russell, who has turned up on the
Pacific coast will figure in the trial
which has now reached it's closing
hours in the probate court.
This trial has been in progress since
October, the claimant being a stocky
resident of North Dakota, who says
he is the almost forgotten son of Dan
iel Russell OF Melrose who died three
years ago, leaving an estate valued at
three quarters of million of dollars.
The Pacific coast claimant was made
known through a letter which the
chief of police of Melrose received from
the chief of police of Fresno on Tues
day. The Fresno official states that he
is satisfied that the claimant there
is sincere in his statements and that
an affidavit has been sent to William
G. Russell, the son who received the
greater part of the property.
Attorneys for the estate said today
that several similar letters had been
received from different parts of the
country since the case gained notoriety
and that very little attention has been
paid to them.

D0LLIVER A FAMILY MAN
Senior Iowa Senator Is a Person Of
Strong Domestic Leaninqs-

Senator Dolliver of Iowa is a person
with strong domestic leanings. He
participated in little incident in the
senate elevator the other afternoon
that would have gladdened Rooseyelt's
heart. The elevator was pretty we'll
crowded when the senator came
hustling down the corridor, "shooing"
four children ahead of him, They
must have started at about the age
of four and stopped at the age OF
nine.
"All yours?" asked another senator
you bet!" said Dolliyer. This one
here"-he indicated a pretty child
the littlest-"is the one that played
havoc with your walnut sweets"
We'll, ] declare" said Senator No,
2, and he leaned over and put a ques
ton to her in baby talk.
She only hung her head till the ele-
vator reached the senate floor. Then
Dolliver "shooed" her and the others
out into that corridor.

Money and expense are not essential to
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform a crude, mar
tistic room into a graceful, dainty apart
ment.
Really it is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much as money.
Wall paper is expensive-it costs money
to buy it, to hang it and again to re-
move it. With the use of the alabastined
wall there is only the slight cost of the
material-any one can brush it on-and it
is not necessary to wash it off the wall
when fresh coat is required.
It is very easy to mix, very simple to
apply, but the results are simply beauti-
full. A whole house can be done at just
little more than the cost of single
room when ordinary material Is are used.
And this is true, that now that we have
so much better materials for use in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper,
common kalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date as the old time white
wash, tallow candles and rough hewn
floors. Mere money is no longer an es-
sential in good housefurnishing in artistic
home making.
The new materials and labor-saving ma
chimes are most welcome to us all-and
every thoughtful woman, every woman
who cares for her home, is quick to utilize
them.
