States mail boy came galloping up

Real Estate Investors
Need Not Worry Over
Losses, Says Realtor

Newspaper stories of the last
three weeks have furnished the very
best evidence against the policy Of
investing any money i'll any bond or
security that is not absolutely safe
and beyond the power of any one
man or a few men to Destroy" says
B. R. Hastings, president of Hast
ings & Heyden Co.
"The INSCRIPTIONS stock selling
schemes in which men were induced
to invest millions for nothing but a
few pieces of paper and glowing
promises of big dividends, have
proven to be much more wild and
worthless than even the most con-
servative investors predict them.
"The entire campaign of stock sell
ing which cost Nebraska millions OF
dollars is now in the hands of courts,
grand juries and prosecuting attor-
neys. Men who are investigating the
various enterprises insist that ma
jority of the schemes deserve to be
in the hands of the courts. Inves-
tors who put their money in them
and have been unable to get anything
out, know that they should be there.
Investors who put their money in
real estate either during the period
of fourishing business or at any
other time, never worry about grand
juries or prosecuting attorneys.
They invested in commodity of
which there is limited supply, and
which cannot be wrecked or de-
stroyed by any man or group OF men.
Real estate investors not only
have the original investment, but
they have an investment that is en-
hancing in value, and if it is income
property they are getting returns
every month.
"All an investor needs to do to
decide which is the better investment
is to compare those that are now in
the hands of the grand jury or about
to be there, with real estate invest
ments or other investments that have
stood the test of time"

Ex-Stage Beauty
Sues Her Wealthy
Hubby ford Divorce
Wife of Otto Young Heyworth
Charges Mate Set Fire to
Her Clothes in Fit
Of Rage

Chicago, Aug. 2O.-Mrs. Helen
Marie Patterson Heyworth OF New
York, former stage beauty, today
| filed a bill for separate maintenance
against Otto Young Heyworth, heir
to millions.
She charges that he set fire to a
gown in which she wrapped herself
after he had stripped off her clothes
and torn them up in a fit of temper.
She was scorched, the bill says, be-
fore the fire could be extinguished.
She also charges that he beat and
choked her and that he abandoned
her without funds, although his in
come is large
Heyworth is the son of Lawrence
Heyworth, sportsman and multi
millionaire. and the grandson of
Otto Young, late jewelry merchant
and owner of valuable real estate.
Mother Is Divorced.
His mother is Mrs. Cecilia Young
Heyworth De Korwin who recently
obtained a divorce from Count Dc
Korwin. Her income is $4,000 a
year, which will go to her son on
her death, the bill alleges.
Judge John A. Swanson restrained
several trust companies today from
paying any money to Heyworth
until the suit is settled.
Mrs. Heyworth's bill charges that
her husband has :violent, passion
ate and ungovernable temper, max
ing it impossible to live with him."
In her complaint the bill recltes
that in November, 1919, when they
were living at the Hotel Des Artistes
in New York, he few into rage,
tore the clothes from her body and
destroyed her entire wardrobe.
She wrapped herself in gown to
which she says he set fire causing
her to be scorched and blistered.
As this did not quiet his tantrum,
the bill goes on, he hurled all her
toilet articles out the window, caus-
ing a scene and attracting crowd.
In a similar frenzy at the Mary
land hotel, New York, a mont,
later, Sne says he Cllokeu dHu pSal
her and threatened her life.
Heyworth was an aviator in the
war and made a good record. He
was married in September, 1919,
and abandoned his wife, so the bill
alleges, in less than month.
Will Inherit Much.
He not only left her penniless, his
wife says, but he concealed his
whereabouts.
Heyworth receives one-sixteenth
of the income from his grandmoth-
er's $l6,000000 estate and one-six-
teenth of the income from another
fund of 100000. In five years he
will inherit the auditorium here and
the site of the Fair department
store.
Heyworth's mother was recently
divorced from her second husband,
Count De Korwin, charging that he
abandoned her in Paris after he had
used her money to settle claims
made against him by 20 other girls
in various parts of Europe.

Special Districts
ToBe Assessed for
Major Projects
To Be Taxed 81 Per Cent of
$2,500,O0O Cost Council
Committee Plans; Balance
By $4,000 Bond Issue.

Omaha may issue bonds for more
than $4,000 as a result of the re-
port to be made to the council Mon
day morning on six major improve
ment projects.
The committee, composed of Com
missioners KoutSky, Hummel and
Hopkins, will recommend that spe-
olal assessment districts be taxed
Tor 81 per cent of damages involved
IN the mprovements, amounting to
more than $2,500000.
This will leave 5 per cent of the
cost to be met by a general bond
issue under a special law covering
'hese improvements, which provides
that if it is found that 90 per cent
OF the award may be assessed against
the district, the city council NAV
issue bonds for the remainder of the
award.
Up to Council.
1t will be up to the council to
approve or disapprove the fading
or the committee.
If the report is approved the
council will then set dates for hear
ing objections from property own
ers affected by the proposed assess
ments.
1t will also be the duty OF the de-
partment of public improvement to
prepare maps of the different assess
ment districts, showing what each
lot or fragment of lot in each dis
trlct must pay under the proposed
assessment. This will require sew
eral months, according to Mr.. Kout-
sky, commissioner of public improve
mentS.
If the council approves the COM
mlttee's report it will also authorize
the issuing of warrants in favor of
the property owners whose property
is affected by the improvements in
the sum awarded by the board of
appraisal.
List of Improvements.
Following is list of the improve
ments involved, together with the
damage award for each: widening
Twenty-fourth from Pacific to Cum
ing, $1,503,79l; opening Twenty-sec-
ond from Howard to Dodge, $715,-
224; widening Harvey from Twen-
tieth to Twenty-fourth, $1S7,925;
widening Harvey from Twenty
fourth to Twenty-sixth, $254,lo5:
widening Douglas from Twentieth
to Twenty-fourth, opening from
Twenty-fourth to Twenty-hfth, and
widening from Twenty-ffth to
Twentyseventh, $244,35l; and wild
ening Twentieth from Leavenworth |
to Dodge, $725,79l.
If actually approved and gotten
under way, this will culminate !
nearly two years of effort on the |
part of the city council and the city
planning board to obtain these I'M
prOvementS.
