TROLLEY CAR
JAM IN LOOP
To Be STUDIED
City Engineer and Street
Railway Chief Will
Make Survey.

City Engineer A. r. Moore and
James P. Tretton, Indianapolis
Street Railway superintendent, to-
day were authorized to survey the
present street car routes, with the
view of relieving downtown con-
gestion."
Tretton and Moore discussed the
proposal to tighten street car traffic
on Washington street and Intimate
turns in the downtown district by
establishing through lines.
Tretton took issue with the city
fathers at a meeting of the council
traffic committee Thursday at the
Chamber of Commerce on the need
for change from the present system
and denied there is congestion" in
the downtown area. He said en-
larging of the street car loop would
entail greater congestion.
Tretton expressed belief that a
radical change in the present car
routes would cut car company rev.
enue seriously, and advised against
any change at this time. He said
the present belt railroad on the
south side is an argument against
running through north and south
routes.
Councilmen desire to eliminate
turns on Washington street in the
downtown district, making possible
abolition of the present three period

Illinois, Meridian and Pennsylvania

Old Folks Say Doctor
Caldwell was Right

The basis of treating sickness has
not changed since DR.. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875, nor since
he placed on the market the laxa-
tive prescription he had used in his
practice, known to druggists and
the public since 1892, as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment Of constipa-
ton, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression, indigestion, sour stom-
ach and other indispositions THAI
result from constipation was en-
tirely by means of simple vegetable
lavatives, herbs and roots. These
are still the basis of DR.. Caldwell'S
Syrup Pepsin, which is a combina-
ton of SIENNA and other mild laxa-
tive herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for con-
stipation, the safer for the cid and
for you, and the better for the gen.
eral health of all, And as you can
get results in mild and safe way
by using DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, why take chances with strong
drugs?

OAKLAND, Cal, April 5.-Heirs
to $650,OOO,0 900!
Sounds like a dream, but it has
a tangible thread of reality for
members Of = family here.
They believe themselves to be the
direct descendants OF two men
whose names doomed large in fin
ancial annals of three countries a
century and a half ago.
Through the tangled mazes Of
genealogical history, through many
distortions Of family names. these
people, two brothers and three sis
tiers, have traced their relationship
to former financiers, long since
dead, whose originally vast fortunes
have multiplied to an astounding
degree during the intervening years.
The family, which has already
filed claims to the larger Of the
two estates involved in a st. Louis
court, sonsists Of Russell and Clear
ence Himmelrick; Mrs. M. Small
ley and Mrs. v. N. McRoland, who
makes their home in the Eastbay
region. here, and Mrs. M. v. Berry
Of Auburn, California.
Estate Near Billion
One estate, now valued by Russell
Himmelrick at 1910, 100000, centerS
around the original fortune Of John
Emmerich Of Amsterdam, Holland.
and his nephew, Alexander, Him
melrich, an enligrant in this coun-
try, who is believed to have been
burned to death while in the Civil
War.
Emmerich, according to Himmel-
rich, was a partner of John Jacob
Astor, one of the founders of New
York, in the fur trading business
which was the basis of the famous
Aston fortune.
The other large estate involved
is valued at AZ ,000, 900. It is that
Of William Jennings, en- English
bachelor who died intestate in 1893
at the age Of SO years.
This fortune according to the
findings of Mrs. S. R. w. Corey

puoyed by the Himmelrocks, was

placed by the courts in control OF
distant relatives.
Jennings Estate Famous
The Jennings estate is SO famous
that heirs living in or near Los
Angeles, have formed a Jennings
association" They meet each
month like any other organization
and discuss progress in settling the
estate. The Himmerlricks have
just recently become members Of
this association, since they learned
Of their relationship to Jennings.
The story Of the Emnerich money
has long been a tradition in the
Himmelrick family, however. The
father Of the Oakland heirs is said
to have spent many years in tracing
down the geneology and handed
on his knowledge Of the facts to
his children.
Russell Himmelrick tells of hav-
ing made many trips, Of having
written countless letters and Of in
terviews with "old timers" who
knew Alexander Himmelrick the
Civil War hero, in attempting to
establish his family's claim to the
fortune. His efforts are now being
rewarded, for according to Russell
Himmerlrick, the original will of
John Nichols Emerich, about
whose fortune many legal doc
umentS exist in Holland, has
been found in st. Louis.
The will, he says, is being
held in chancery to allow for filing
Of claims pending final settlement.
Severa Hundred Claimants
There are several hundred known
claimants to the two estates, but
the Himmelricks believe their
shares when the fortunes are event
ually divided will be about So, 900
apiece.

mobile salesman and his brother
