California Law Sow Recognizes
Children of Void Marriages as
legitimate Shooting Epi
sode in Court Recalled..
LOS ANGEUIS, March 12. Prepara
tory to an attack on the $1:5,000,000
estate of the late E. J. ("Lucky") Bald
win, the Arcadia turfman, who died a
year ago. a petition was filed in the
! Probate Court today asking- that a
guardian be. appointed for Beatrice
Anita Baldwin, otherwise known aa
Beatrice Anita Turnbull, who is de-
iclared to be a daughter of Baldwin and
(Lillian J. Ashley.
The petition is si pried by Leo J. Ma
jruire, who asks to be appointed guar
dian and recites that the grirl ''la a
xnlnor and will have property consist
ing of one - third of the estate
of the late E. J. Baldwin, pro
vided that before the computation is
made there should be deducted one
third therof to which the widow would
have been entitled if Baldwin had died
intestate. Thia would make the share
claimed by the petitioner about $5,000,
000 or 6. 000. 000.
Illegalit ot Marriage Admitted.
The petition goes on to state that
Miss Baldwin "was born December 7.
1893, in Los Angeles, and is the legiti
mate issue of the said Baldwin, her
mother being Lillian J. Ashley, who
since has married one Turnbull. She is
the Issue of a void marriage made and
entered into by her said father, Bald
win, and her said mother."
. Baldwin's legitimate issue, according
to the petition, is Miss Baldwin, and her
half sisters, Clara Baldwin Stocker, of
Arcadia, and Anita. Baldwin McClaugh
rey, of Berkeley, Cal.
Statute Relied Upon.
The petition disputes the validity of
the will on all grounds. The basis of
the claim in behalf of the petition is
aft alleged common-law marriage be
tween "Lucky" Baldwin and Lillian J.
Ashley. That the marriage has since
become void is acknowledged, but the
contestants are relying upon the stat
ute which declares that all children of
a void marriage are legitimate.
At the time of the birth of the girl,
17 years ago, a common-law marriage
. was recognized as valid, although the
law of the state has since declared such
a union illegal. The girl is now at
tending a boardirjg-school In Boston
and her mother resides In the same
city.
Beatrice's mother 16 years ago sued
Baldwin for breach of promise In the
San Francisco courts. When the trial
was in progress Mrs. Ashley's sister
became so incensed at the sight of
"Lucky" Baldwin, that she fired a shot
at him.
The bullet missed and Mrs. Ashley
lost the case.

Visitor Comments on Men Whose
Names They Bear.
SANTA CRUZ, Cal., March 12. "I
don't care if I miss my train; I would
like to stay here a month." said An
drew Carnegie as he wandered among
the big trees at Santa Cruz today. As

upon the men whose names they had
been given.
"I was too young to vote for Fre
mont," said the iron master, gazing up
at the tall forest namesake of the Gen
eral, "but. thank God I voted for Lin
coln." He paid respect to Grant as lie passed
the tree, and approaching "Roosevelt"
removed his hat as he said:
"Roosevelt is- iust as straight a man
as that tree is a straight tree; there
is no sham about him. He is the most
phenomenal man In the world today."
At luncheon Mr. Carnegie responded
to an expression of thanks from Mayor
T. W. Drulland for the library which
he had given the town. He was pre
sented with three small redwood trees
and declared he would take them to
Scotland and plant them- at Skibo.

Talks on Teeth
BY THE HEX DENTAL CO.
The First Shall Be Last
Let your first investment In dental
work be your last and only one, in so
far as that particular piece to be done
Is concerned. Buy the best. In den
tistry, you must have it if satisfaction
you would have. It Isn't to be had from
the bargain-counter artists. When in
doubt cast around, find out who is the
be3t dentist in this town, then go to
him and order the best. It's the cheap
est In the end. Good work will out
last you. Cheap dentistry is expensive
at any price. Better pay $20 or $25
for a plate that fits perfectly. Is com
fortable, looks well and will last a life
time, rather than pay $10 each for five
or six, and not get either comfort, looks
or service. Other dental work can be
reckoned In same proportion. Asssure
yourself an annual dividend of satis
faction by buying the best. May as
well do it at first; you'll have to even
tually If you get satisfaction. When
you are offered anything at half price,
look out for the nigger in the woodpile
he's there.
Convince a fool against his will, he's
of the same opinion still, Is an old say
ing that is well worth repeating here.
We do not hope to convince the fool
that the best is the cheapest In den
tistry. These talks are written for In
telligent people.
Our free book goes into details about
the ALVEOLAR METHOD. Send, for it.
REMEMBER In addition to our spe
cialtj of Alveolar Dentistry (restoring
