PAID To TESTIFY,
ASSERTS WITNESS
Physician Who Attended Abra-
ham Lilies in Last Illness
Makes Admission
MAY IMPEACH THE TESTIMONY
Children of First Wife Contest the
Right of Second Spouse
to Estate

Something like a bomb explosion oc-
CURED in the contest of the will of
Abraham B. Lilies before Judge Wilbur
yesterday, when the attorneys for the
eXecutrix obtained an admission from
DR.. +. M. PelrouneJ, after he had teS-
titled the entire day, that he was to
be paid 500 by the contestant and his
attorney for testifying.
II have already received $50 and am
to get the remainder tonight when /
have finished" admitted the witness.
1T is for expert testimony, though, you
understand"
In his will, signed May ID, 1909, Abra-
ham b. Lilies left his entire estate,
valued at some $4,000. to his secono
wife Annie. The contest is brought by
Michael, one of seven children by the
first marriage. who claims that the
testator did not make out the will him
self, and that fraud was used by the
wife in getting him to sign it.
Dr. Peirounet is the star witness in
the case. He it was, he testified, who
dictated large part of the will to the
wife, who wrote it. Meanwhile, he
says, Abraham Lilies was sleeping on
the bed near by, largely under the in
fluence of narcotics given him to al
leViate the pain he suffered as the re-
suit of a broken hip and organic
disease. The testator, the physician said
was aroused to sign only after the in
strument had been entirely written
This is contrary to Peirounets sWorr
statement as a witness to the will
There he states he signed at the testa-
tors request. but on the stand yester'
day he admitted it's falsity.
do you mean to say you stood there
and let an old man, under the Influence
of opiates, sign away everything ht
had like that and without raising
finger to object you subscribed your
name to it as a regularly drawn will|
thundered the attorney on cross-ex'
animation.
81 thought it was the best thing tc
provide for the widow" he explained.
isn't it a fact, DR.. Peirounet, tha'
you recently told Mrs. Lilies that Il
was not a matter of principle, but o.
money with you as to how you testl
fled in this case"
The reply was a denial.
With that the trial adjourned, bu
every indication was given that
strong effort to impeach the testimony
of the physician will be made today
In the morning the other signer o.
the will, Ben S. Casey testified that 81
far as he had been able to observe th'
instrument was properly drawn. H'
had no recollection OF the testatol
sleeping during the time it was writer
or of being disturbed to sign 1t. case!

PROVIDE FOR NEW CLUB
Redondo Beach Visitors EnthuSi-
aStiC Over Plans for Head
quarters Near Clifton

REDONDO BEACH, July THE
long proposed club house with polo
field, golf links and tennis court, plans
for which have been in Mr.. Hunting
toms possession for some time, is about
to be realized. so it is said Numer-
Gus enthusiasts of the sports from
Riverside, Pasadena and other points
are urging the heads of departments
of the Huntington company to take
immediate action, as the demand for
such a pleasure place is voiced by hun
dreds of prominent persons who would
make this city their home in event the
company will carry out the original
plan and provide a high class amuse-
ment place for them.
The site for the club house and
grounds adjoins Clifton -by-the-Sea on
the south and is one of the most beau
tiful spots on the coast. Joseph Ball,
Nat Wiltshire, Robert Osborne and sew
eral other local golf experts have been
prominent for some time in interesting
Mr.. Huntington to take the matter up,
with the result that he has had pre-
pared two sets of plans, and it is likely
that the set which calls for cluo
house costing about $4,000 viii be de-
cided on.
In addition to the club house, it is
understood the company has under
contemplation a cliff house to be To-
Gated on the high bluff about mile
from the polo field. In event the cliff
house is decided on the Esplanade
boulevard will be extended so that the
trip to the cliff house can be made

CHILDISH LACK OF LOGIC
Often the Little Folk Succeed in At

of Pure Reason.

A great deal is said, not always just

adult manner They attain conclu-

reason" which, being quite unbiased
by the opinions of others, sometimes
result in startling truths

to the question of an irreligious friend
of the family as to what would hap

should pray for an east, another for

IF YOU WOULD KEEP YOUNG
Throw Off Mental Anxiety and Be
Careful to Avoid Excuses of
All Kinds.

Good sound advice is given evident
ly by one who knows. You see, the eff
fects of ones mental attitude are en-
phasi2ed. The physical viii take care
of itself Keep in the sunlight; moth
ing beautiful or sweet grows or ripens
in the darkness.
Avoid fear in all its varied forms
of expression; it is the greatest enc
my of the human race. Avoid excuses
of all kinds; they are injurious. The
long life must be a temperate, regular
life.
Don't live to eat, but eat to live.
Many Of our ills are due to over-eat-
ing, to eating the wrong things and
to irregular eating.
Don't allow yourself to think on
your birthday that you are a year
older and so much nearer the end.
Never look on the dark side; take
sunny views of everything; a sunny
thought drives away The shadows.
Be child; live simply and natural

Cultivate the spirit of contentment;
all discomfort and dissatisfaction
bring age burrows prematurely to the

Form habit Of throwing off before
going to bed at night all the cares

Prof. Garrett P Serviss states that the
earth wobbles, and consequently the
position of the poles is constantly

That this is the case is proved says
The professor. by the fact that the polar
regions were once inhabited by trop-
