Many who are in touch 'with the situation express the opinion that the building activity of
1913 will be far in excess of the wonderful record of 1912 in this popular addition.
The expenditure of $50,000.00 in improvements such as paving, water, gas and sewerage in
means more than a great many cities plan for -the entire city not to mention one addition alone.
These improvements are not myths, but are actually being done right at this time. Gall, phone or
write and we will call for you in- one of our autos and show you this magnificent addition where
your investments are sure and safe. t

Silent Capital!
Many business men consider their
insurance in this company as so
much silent capital ready cash
to meet their obligations promptly
at the time they can't be on hand
personally to do it. We have as
sets of ninety million dollars.
Life insurance costs LESS in this
company than any other for the
reason that we earn more on our
investments than any other; and
our policyholders receive the in
creased profits back in annual
dividends.
These dividends are higher than
those paid by any other company,
and our net cost is lower the
insurance records PROVE it.
This often means a definite sav
ing of $2.00 to $7.00 per thou
sand each year.
If you are building a home in
creasing your obligations or
want to create an estate at a
moderate outlay of cash, it's good
business sense to carry insurance
enough to pay up everything
should the unexpected happen to
you
You can only do this while you
are well so "obey that impulse"
and find out what it will cost at
your age.

Atkinson. Tells His Story.
The really important evidence was
brought out "Wednesday when the state
introduced as Its first witness the man
who informed the officers.
R. F. Atkinson tesancc: "My room
is 212 1-2 Mills street. I have been
employed about two month9 by the
J Western Detective agency. I have lived

the time. Mr. Boss, I think, is sup
posed to be the manager of the agency.
, Mr. Snyder, I think. Is the owner. I
was employed by him. I know C P.
Pitman. At 10:30 I called Mr. Snyder
up and aked him if he had anything
he could use me on. He said, "Yes,
come up." He asked me if I wanted
to -make $2000 easy. I said, Tes.' He
said there was a poker game at the
Sheldon and the plan was to hold up
the players, take their money and dia
monds. I said I would go in If it
looked all right.
Conversation In the Office.
The conversation I had with him took
place in room 714. Mills building. I
saw him again when Ross was there.
The plans to hold up the poker game
at the McCoy hotel were discussed.
He told me at first it was the Sheldon,
but Snyder said he was stalling.
"Pitman asked if I was the other
man to take a hand. Snyder said I
was. xne plan was for Mr. Pitman to
enter the room at the McCoy noteL
He was to come back and get us. If
everything looked all right one was to
enter the main room. I was to go In
and hold up the men, while Mr. Boss
was to lock the doors and get their
diamonds. Pitman was to rent a room
at the hotel.
Pinchers to Get a Ring.
"Mr. Pitman stated that there was
one man who had a large diamond ring
that was so tight on his finger if we
did not have pinchers we would have
2 let ii gP- Mr- Ross did nt think it
advisable for us to get the pinchers, as
they might trace us by the purchase.
Mr. Pitman said he could get them at
a second-hand store.
Phones the Police.
"After we had made the plans I told
them I would have to go and get my
gun, but would meet them at the office
Mr. Pitman and Boss were there at the"
time I left. I went to my mother's
placed where I got my gun. Then I
went to a confectionery store on Myr
tle avenue, where I phoned and asked
for the police chief. Mr. Greet asked
me If he could do anything. We met
in the courthouse yard. I told nim
the facts. He told me to go ahead and
act as if I was in earnest. .After this
I went to the Mills building. I found
Mr. Boss and Mr. Pitman. "We had a
further talk about the plans.
Ross Changes Clothes.
"There were two police present at
the station, where I told Mr. Greet
about the plans.
"When I went back to the office we
just discussed the plans, the dangr
and possibilities. I saw Boss with a
gun. Mr. Boss changed his clothes
at the office. He left the clothes he
took off there.
"Mr. Boss had a pair of pinchers.
(County attorney Price produced a pair
of pinchers which were identified by
the witness.)
"Boss, Pitman, Snyder and I met in
the office at the Mills building. Mr.
Snyder left the office first He left
before I did. Snyder was to return
and get his gun and take a stand in
the alley between the White House
and the McCoy. He was to see that
we were not surprised.
Had Rented a Room.
"I left the office at 9:30. Mr. Boss
and Mr. Pitman were left in the offue.
I -went to a saloon and had a glass of
beer. Then I went to the hotel McCoy.
I went up in the elevator. Mr. Pitman
had given us a key with the number
"201" on It He told us he had rented

the street more than the American
, woman does.
Frankly, I do not thing this is true.
"While the European woman does use
both powder and paint the young girls
-are much freer from this affectation
than girls of a corresponding age over
here.
I have tried to find a reason for this,
and think that I have discovered it
The young American girl has too much
pocket money. Her foreign sister is
f:lad to have 25 cents a week to spend
oolishly, while the girl over here
thinks nothing of wasting several dol
lars every week on toilet preparations
candy or flowers for her own adorn
ment I am often appalled at the way the
young American girls make up on the
street Women past 30 would hesitate
to use so much cosmetic on their faces
not only because it is so bad for the
skin, but because it makes the face
look so old. But then women of 30
are wiser than girls of 16, who revel In
whitewash and the reddest of carmine
cheeks.
"Why do you girls spoil your com
plexions with powder and rouge, when
you don't have to?' I asked one
frankly.
"Oh, mademoiselle. It makes us look
so much more Interesting," one of the
little girls piped up. "Anybody con
have Just a regular complexion'
A regular complexion; that is dis
dained! The pretty healthy skin that nature
gave them is not enough. I am sure
what these girls would really like to
resemble is the "vampire" type. The
Vampire" type of face is the last word
In artificiality, and it is resorted to
generally by a woman who' has passed
the uncertain ace. and can no innrar
attract either by youth or charm, so
that she has to call attention to her
self by her startling and uncanny face.

stage character can be. The actresses
who play these parts affected snake
like gowns, gray or ashy faces with
red lips and very dark eyebrows over
darkened eyelids.
The vampire makeup, as it is seen in
society and sometimes on the street
consists in covering the face with a
gray powder instead of a white or
pink face powder: the eyelids are
tinted a sort of brown, the eyebrows
are pointed very straight and dark,
and almost meet over the bridge of the
nose. The lips are made very red and
asked me if I was looking for the man
in 201.
We left the room when Mr. Pitman
gave the signal a rap on the door.
The Robbery.
"Boss and I left the room. We went
to the closet as prearranged, and put
on our masks. Mine was an old blue
handkerchief. Mr. Boss Entered the
room. I entered the room near the
closet and demanded the men in there
to hold up their hands and go into the
next room. There were six or seven
men in the room. I pointed my pistol
at them and marched them in. Mr.
Ross, in the next room, -was pointing
his gun at the men, making them stand
up. Mr. Ross saw about locking tho
doors. I stood in the middle of the
room and kept advising them not to
lower their hands. They obeyed my
Instructions. Boss searched the men.
He got one gun. He put It on the
table. I put it In my pocket Boss
then searched the men for money and
diamonds. I saw him use the nippers.
He held one man's arm over a table
and clipped the ring off.
The Arrest.
"Mr. Ross then went Into another
room to put the phone out of commis
sion. That was agreed to. Boss then
came back and ordered the men to go
Into the other room. When they had
done so he turned the thumb-latch. We
then took off our masks and went
down the steps. A policeman stuck a
gun against me and told me to hold up
my hands, which I did. They caught
Ross. I remember seeing Capt Greet
I think they put Boss in an automo
bile. I walked down with the crowd.
,"The proceeds of the robbery were
to be divided equally between us, as I
understood the agreement I was to
receive a fifth. Boss a fifth, Pit
njau a fifth, Snyder a fifth.
When tho agreement was made
