Today More About California. Come and Buy a Lot. A Place to Live 100 Years. Roads Beyond Belief. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE J More about California. Every American under 70 ought to come here before he dies, and stay as long as he can. All past 70 should come and here live to 100. There fore information about California is useful news everywhere. The average visitor to Cal ifornia makes two trips. The first trip to look and see. On the sec ond trip he comes and stays. You may come in the most lux urious trains in the world, or in your own automobile, big or lit tle. And when you get to Cal ifornia you reach a state that ap preciates the automobile and wel comes visitors. Big Chicago and New York can learn about roads here. New York and New Jersey especially should appropriate money to send their entire legislatures here to learn. They would find two complete boulevards running from San Diego to San Francisco, 600 miles. They would fiind money appropriated and piles of stone distributed along the road for the building of a third 600-mile high way of concrete, California having decided that its visitors are en titled to a boulevard following the very edge of the Pacific all the way. - Visitors in automobiles will find still more astounding, a magnifi cent completed highway all the way from Tiajuana, on the north ern end of Mexico, up through San Diego, Los Angeles, San Fran cisco, into Portland and Seattle, 1,900 miles. That is road building such as even Caesar with his legions never attempted and the roads are such as he never saw, absolutely perfect roads of cement, sand, stone and steel. And nature planned it, millions of years before Caesar was born. Down from the mountains rushing torrents have washed great stones. Early settlers used to complain of them. Modern California finds that these stones are the best in the world for making cement, grinds them up, and changes ob structing rock into the 4,500 miles of perfect highway that Cal ifornians call their “start* toward a good road system.” New York is about 70 miles from Point Pleasant, New Jersey, one of the finest resorts within reach of New York city’s 6,000, 000. A man wishing to risk his life driving rapidly over bumps, through holes, over ferries and rough bridges, can cover the 70 miles from New York to Point Pleasant in five hours. - But the accident insurance companies would cancel his policies if they knew about it. Here, regulation driving for the tourist, taking it quietly and even, is 350 miles in a 10-hour day. That is done easily, on roads al most as smooth as the inside of your bathtub. If you don’t care to bring your automobile here, you needn’t. You can rent fine cars with careful drivers at remarkably low charges. Or you can rent a car and drive it yourself, any kind of car you want. California intends to make the traveler welcome and comfortable and does it. Your rooms cost half what they do in the east. Your food costs half what it does in the east. Your eastern dollar, here, is worth *2.30; - As you travel along quietly, 35 miles an hour, a gigantic omnibus passes you, rushing along with the 46-mile power of an old Alco en gine. There is a bus line from San i Diego to San Francisco, 600 miles. | There is a regular traffic from Los Angeles to San Francisco in those busses, along the edge of the Pa cific, over the beautiful mountains. The fare is less than the railroad fare. If you like automobile traveling without the bother of your own car, you can go from San Diego to Seattle, seeing at either end of the trip one of the most wonder ful and beautiful of American cities, 1,900 miles. That ought to make railroad managers and stockholders thoughtful. Every New York visitor here «.?ks “where do they get the mon ey to build these roads? Is it pos sible that California has more money than New York state?" No, not more money. New York has perhaps $50 for every dollar in California. But California has got common sense, and de termination to build up this state to what it should be. Los Angeles at this moment is spending $200,000,000 to bring in an extra supply of power, and thinks nothing of it. Ask Mr. Meyer, father of Eu gene Meyer. He will tell you that as a young man, determined to succeed in finance, he sold his real estate In southern California, went to New York with the money and became a partner in the firm of Lazard Freres. He made, in New York, what people call a big fortune, by a lifetime of hard, nervous, Wall street work. He Ray«: “All I had to do was to stay where I was, in the California sun shine. Had I kept my land in and around Los Angeles, instead of selling it, I’d be worth five times what I am now.” A Touch of High Life jj in Every Bottle 1 State to Sue Bank Receivers Unless Assets Are Turned Iri Few Delinquent Because of Fear of Losing Jobs 4’> Costly Receiverships Con centrated in Department of Trade and Commerce in Month. Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, Aug. 14.—The state de partment of trade and commerce has announced that It will institute suit on hank receivers’ ponds unless those delinquent in turning their assets over to the department do so imme diately. In the last month 45 costly re ceiverships have, upon order of the state department, been concentrated in that department and handled through the new guaranty fund com mission. Assets of failed banka now in the hands of the one department and heretofore handled by 45 separate receivers, with their fees and those of costly attorneys, is estimated at $7,000,000. A few of the receivers, according to the department, have attempted to hang onto their jobs and have, upon one pretext or another, delayed turning their positions and the val uable assets of the banks over to the state department. Centralization of receiverships In one jiepartment w'as made possible by the state guaranty fund commis sion. Despite the fact that Governor Bryan persistently fought the bill in the legislature and when It passed both houses on third reading by an almost unanimous vote he refused to sign-it and permitted it to become a law without his signature, he is now boasting of the work done by the guarantee fund commission. In fact, the governor has taken the privilege of making announcement relative to the commission from the secretary and Includes its work as part of bis daily announcements to newspaper men.

Mrs. Mastrasrigo has refused to talk since she was arrested. She Is now out on a $1,000 bond. Police are seeking her husband. He disappeared the day the stolen mer chandise was found at their home.

Sdmolkr&lllttdferPkmofe 1314-16-18-Dod^e St* * • Omaha Woman Breaks in on Buckner During Open Air Sermon Aurora Church Officers Still Desire Retum of Pastor, Who Again Repeats His Beliefs. Aurora, Neb., Aug. 14.—Although nearly all of the officers of the Meth odist church of Aurora have signed a petition asking for the return of J. D. M. yuekner as pastor next year, tiie latter has asked his friends to refrain from pressing the matter for fear tijat it will raise a false issue between himself and C. E. Goman, the present pastor. Dr. Buckner says that the issue now is between the Au rora church atvfl Bishop Stunts and lie proposes that it be fought out on that issue if it takes several sum mers. Before a large crowd at the union meeting of all tho churches on the courthouse lawn Sunday night. Dr. Buckner reiterated hia belief in a progressive Christianity. He spoke on the subject. "How Does God Save Men?” In his address he denied that confession or baptism or any of the ordinary forms for gaining entrance to churches have saving qualities. A saving of a man, he said, consists in making a good man out of him, nnd God is always working and co-operat ing with men and for men to make them good. He said that the saving of men takes much time. He an nounced that he had no belief in the instant conversion being of saving power. A conversion, lie said, where by a man turns about and from his evil habits and starts toward a better life is but a beginning in the saving of that man. according to Dr. Buck ner. Before he is saved he must work with God in making hia life a good and acceptable life, and is only saved when he has become a good man. , During the address. Dr. Buckner was interrupted by a lady who an nounced her disbelief In his ideas, but he did not engage in any controversy with her. In a letter to Glenn Anawalt, sec retary of the official board of the Aurora church, Dr. Buckner says; "I have been informed that a ma ority of the membejrs of the official board have signed a petition asking for my appointment as pastor for next year and that it is contemplated that this petition will tie made the basis for official action by the board in the near future. I have also been informed, what of course I would have known in any event, that this petition is not intended in any way to reflect upon the present pastor. Brother Goman, but is Intended to reaffirm thfi position taken by the of ficial board last year in making a similar request, which request was ignored by Bishop Stuntz and his cab inet. As a practical matter, however, it is Impossible for such action to bo taken without appearing to cast re flection upon the pastorate of broth er Goman, which no one desires, and the issue would inevitably be twisted into a personal one betwen your for mer pastor and your present pastor, between whom there Is no issue at all. The real issue and the one you de sire to raise is between the church at Aurora and the presiding bishop. This issue cannot he clearly raised in the manner proposed. The best Interests of the church must rise above everything else. While deeply appreciating the action of a majority of the members of the board. I feel, after giving the matter thought, that the interests of the church will be better served if the contemplated ac tion is not taken.” Hugo Mrteor Fall*. Colorado Spring, Colo., Aug. 14.— What observers say was the largest meteor ever seen in the Pikes Peak region fell at 1 o’clock this morning. It bro^ee into several fragments high in the air and resembled a huge rock et and lighted the whole heavens mo mentarily. The meteor fell northeast of the city.
