ESTATE IS VALUABLE
Property Consists Of Hotels in Fres-
no and Orange Groves Which
Are Worth
Much.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 90
Maud Lillian Berri. the retired comic
opera star, is having a struggle with
ler mother for control of the fortune
of $500,000 left by her father Fulton
Berry of Fresno. last spring.
The trouble arises over the fact that
Miss Berri and her cousin Eugene La
Cour. who with the singer and her
mother is executor of the will are al.
legged to have taken control of the
estate from Mrs. Berry. 1t is claim
ed they fear she might divert part of
her income to her oldest daughter,
who was practically disinherited by
the famous clubman and yachting en-
thusiast.
The bulk of the estate is tied up in
the Grand Central and Fulton hotels
in Fresno. BY agreement with Miss
Berri the direction of them has been
taken over by LaCour. Mrs. Berry
has protested against this and is de.
manding partial division OF the
estate, while Miss Berri believes the
income can be best conserved BY
keeping all the properties intact,
Fulton Berry was 70 years old He
came to California when he was II tc
work in the mines, but did not pros
per, and, for time he drove car
1 in San Francisco.
/ He went to Fresno wheg that cit.
was starting to grow and built severa
hotels there. He also was heavily in

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 29.-It is
almost foregone conclusion that the
legislature, in special session here,
will designate Oklahoma City as the
future capital of Oklahoma. This was
practically assured when members of
the senate and the house ratified Gov.
Haskells call for the special ses-
sion.
Contests in the courts by represen-
tatives of Muskogee and Guthrie are
sure to follow the action of the legis-
lature. A fight centered on the ratiti-
cation of the governors call for the
special session, because of the fact
that it required the concurrence of a
two-thirds majority of the members
elected to each house. The house met
and ratified the call by vote of 81
to 26. two members being absent.
1t became known to the Haskell
men that eleven republicans had
agreed to vote against concurrence,
together with four democrats from
the Muskogee district. During recess
influence was brought to bear that
caused three republicans and the
| four Muskogee supporters to vote
| for concurrence.
The republicans who failed 10
'stand hitched, were Harry BeeIer
of Checotah, E. B. Chapman of Ton.
kawa. where the university prepare
tory school is situated; ard j. w. Nc
/ Gully OF Helena, where the Agricul
tural school is located. The vote was
33 for concurrence and 9 against, two
senators being absent.
Fifteen votes would have defeated
i the call. Senator Ben F. Egglemar
and Representative ]. H. Maxey
democrats, of Shawnee, voted agains'
! concurrence, for the reason that they
believed the special session was ii
violation of the constitution.
The legislature adopted a resolu
tion instructing the two sergeants-af
arms to go to Guthrie at once ant
bring the furniture and typewriters
belonging to the legislature to Okla
homa City. The big fight today viii
{ be over the provisions of the capita
removal bill, that designates the place
that shall be chosen as Oklahom;

Providence for kissing"
You'll jolly well change all those
ideas after you'd been here a WHILE"
replied Neville. You grow sick of
yellow people after living with them.
As far as I'm concerned, I'd as soon
kiss a rat as a Japanese girl"
WELL" said Hardy, to whom the
conversation was becoming distaste-
full, tits not the thing to discuss a
lady, eyen if we are in a foreign
country and observing and discussing
everything. / must insist, however,
that | should weary Of people like our
little friend opposite very slowly"
An idea occurred to Hardy-Neville
was so disagreeable, he would talk to
Miss Sano. He proposed the matter
to Masatsura, who informed him that
the young lady would be incredibly
honored. Masatsura addressed a few
words to her and she smiled on Hardy
by way of assent and comprehension.
He sat down by her, and Masatsura,
standing before them, acted as in
sterpreter. She was not the least en-
barTassed or silly. Her manner com
bined the most d%eferential interest
and a quaint suggestion of ROBUSTNESS.

Neville. perhaps you were half

The E1nglishman did not appear
greatly perturbed, yet he went careful

BOY TORTURED BY z

When my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cuti.
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
used them in the morning and that
evening, before l put my boy to bed,
| used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be so much less. I used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
a return of the eczema.
Il took care of a friends child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and
used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They acted on the child just as they
did on my son and it has never re-
turned. I would recommend the Cuti-
cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. ].
