Collins’ legal talent seems doomed to molder. for a while longer in the gloom of the County Jail. His petition for admission to bail was de- nied yesterday by Judge Hebbard af- ter the hearing of testimony of physi- cians who declared that Collins was | now in better health than he was last May. Dr. Charles D. McGettigan, Dr. Henry Harris of the Cooper College faculty and Dr. Theodore Rethers, appointed by Assistant District Attorney Cook to examine Collins’ conaition, - declared that they did not believe that his fur- ther imprisonment would soon result fatally, as Collins had claimed. Dr. McGettigan examined Collins last May, when a similar petition was befores Judge Murasky. He stated yesterday that Collins appeared very nervous, but that his heart and lungs were in good condition, and that he appeared much improved since the time of the last examination. The other physicians concurred in this report. Dr. Magnus of the Emergency Hospital was put on the stand in Collins' behalf and said that the prisoner's conditlon might be aggravated by confinement, but would not declare that he foresaw fatal re- sults. In denying the release on bail Judge Hebbard stated that he belleved Collins might have constitutional rights to bail which had been oyerlooked heretofore, and that if this /could be shown he would not refuse a petition from the prisoner. He gave Assistant District Attorney Cook three days in which to file a brief showing the absence of such grounds, and Collins three days more to answer. i i EIGHT DRUGHOUSE MEN ARRESTED FOR THIEVING LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28.—The police have uncovered a systematic looting of the F.

NIX GIVES UP HER CONTEST OF LLOYD WILL Berkeley Woman Prepares to Dismiss Appeal to Higher Court SOUGHT EVEN SHARE But Law Gave Her No Claim Against Legiti- mate Children OAKLAND, Feb. 28.—Mrs. Elizabeth Lloyd Nix, the natural daughter of the late lighting magnate, Charles R. Lloyd, of Berkeley, practically gave up her contest to share the half milllon dollar estate equally with the legiti-| She asked per- mission of Judge Ellsworth to with- draw the exhibits Introduced in her sult against the trustees of Lloyd's will. Mrs. Nix had expressed an In- | tention to take an appeal from Judge Ellsworth's decision, in which her only clajm was held to be the $50,000 legacy that Lloyd left in his will. Mrs. Nix came to court with Attor- ney Eugene Trefethen to withdraw the letters and other documents that he had put In evidence. She was very reticent as to the case, but did say | that she had not effected a compromise with the trustees of Lloyd's will, Dr. Thomas Addison and Arthur Goodfel- 'RHODES MEN FIND LIF | UNPLEASINT AT OXFDRD 'Damp Clu'nate Necessitates | Frequent Trips to the Continent BERKELEY, Feb. 238 —Life at Ox- ford for the little colony of Rhodes { scholarship men from America is not | all beer and skittles. According to W. Miss May Heinz Is Bride of a Banker C. Crittenden, a California boy, the jclimate at Oxford is such that it is essential to health to spend as little time in the college town as possible. Crittenden, who was a prize scholar at the University of California, and who has won some scholastic and athletic honors at the English institution of learning. has written to President Wheeler of the conditions there. Only | one of the American colony has become an Anglomaniac, Critenden says. The rest still have their American brogue. The following are paragraphs from Crittenden’s letter: We are all back from ope of the internittent Oxford vacations. As a matter of fact, thefr fre- quency and regularity have become amasing, but it is rather essential to cur health that we stay n Oxford as short a time as possible. Three Americans have been compelled to leave dxford for good on account of the effect of this damp, ¢ pressing climate on thelr health. For the oot part, the Americans g» to the contivent diring these vacations. The change is beneficiall and thev can study modern lnguages. Truly, the joke in Punch some weeks ago with regard to the Americans' traveling propensities might well apply to Rhodes men. A party of tourists was gazing upon the fierce crater of Ve- suvius when an Amerfcan remarked. ~“This loes remind one of heil.” The young lady in the war whispered to her mother, “How these Americns low. Formal dismissal of her suit will be made later. The trial of Mrs. Nix's suit against the trustees was sensational and long | drawn out. She sought to establish the fact that her deceased father had contracted to leave her the same share of his estate as he should leave each of his legitimate children, provided that she would keep her relation to him secret, would act as his private secretary and would help him to marry Mary Crossley. Judge Ellsworth decided that while there was a deep moral obligation resting on the deceased to leave Mrs. Nix an equal share of. his property, there was not such a legal obligation as could be enforced against the trus- tees of the will. Mrs. Nix is the daugh- ter of Mary Scan, to whom Lloyd was engaged to be married in England years ago. Lloyd came to California and mar- ried another woman, from whom he was subsequently ‘divorced. Later Mrs. Scan came to California with the young daughter of Lloyd and llved with him at intervals until he married Mary Croasley in 1898. Both Mrs. Scan and her daughter observed Lloyd's re- quest to keep his relationship to them a secret. Had Mrs. Nix succeeded in establish- ing her claim she would have become entitled to a sum between $50,000 and $75,0.0. She 1is .the wife of Samuel Nix, a clerk .in the employ of the Southern Pacific. Lloyd's estate will now be Fl\id!d between his widow and ; his four legitimate children by his di- | vorced wife.

Robbing Yourself That is just what you are doing when you fail to get reg- ular and sufficient sleep. Your body requires this unconscious pcnod for repair work; with- out it your nerve energy be- comes exhausted, and you are tired, worn-out, nervous, ex- citable; have headache, neu- ralgia, indigestion, poor appc- tite, or other ailments caused by a lack of nerve force. Make it your business to sleep. If you are restless, take Dr. Miles’ Nervine; it soothes and strengthens the nerves, and brings sweet, refreshing, life-giving sleep, and gives the organs power to work natur- ally.
