HER AGE A MYSTERY
Woman Who Could Not Be Cajoled
by the Humor of a London
Magistrate
Special C'Rble to The Herald.
LONDON, Nov. 11.— The remarkable
charges of conspiracy and forgery
brought against Talbot Bridgewater, a
medical specialist of Oxford street,
two other men, Hllmes and Shackell,
and v woman named Foster, were fur
ther Investigated at the Westminister
police court on Saturday.
It will be remembered that the case
arose from the confession of a convict
named Fisher, alias Dean, who al
leged that a check for £819, pur
porting to be signed by Mr. Marshall
Fox, was forged and cashed, the whole
affair being organized by Bridgewater.
Miss Toovey, secretary to Mr. Fox,
was recalled and cross-examined by
Mr. Wilder Wright. A difficulty arose
regarding her age, which Miss Toovey
declined to state.
"Ladles have an objection to stating
their age," said Mr, Curtis Bennett,
the magistrate, "but I don't see any
reason why they should object. I re
member a case in which a lady flatly
refused to tell her age, and the solic
itor asked, "May I guess?" He
guessed seventy, and the lady prompt
ly replied, 'I urn nothing of the kind,
sir, I am only fifty-four. 1 "
But Mlbs Toovey continued to de

questions as to her private life were
stopped by the magistrate .

LOOKING BACKWARD AND
LOOKING FORWARD
Judge R. M. Wldney's Comments on
Realty Conditions From 1868 Down
to the Present Time — Lost
Opportunities
Judge R. M. Widney, one of the best
known residents of Los Angeles, be
came reminiscent Saturday when
speaking of real estate transactions.
"Is the price of realty In Los An
geles too high?" he was asked.
"That depends upon whether you
are looking backward or forward; into
the past or Into the future," said the
Judge.
"The conservative and timid look
backward and say 'yes.' The progres
sive man looks into the future and
buys.
"After coming; here In 1868, I dealt
in real estate, and had the handling
of nearly all property for sale. Where
the Nadeau hotel now is, lot 120x165
feet, I offered for $1000. Parties look-
Ing backward mild 'too high.' Mr. Na
deau, looking forward a few years
later bought it at a higher figure, now
worth $3000 per front foot.
"The lot where the Van Nuys hotel
stands sold for S4OO, 120x165 feet. The
Hellman lot opposite, where the bank
has been erected, I offered for $600,
120x165 feet. Looking backward, no
one would buy. Later, some one look-
Ing forward, bought. It Is now worth
$2500 per front foot.
"Property on Spring, street between
First and Second streets, was on the
market at $8 to $10 per front ' foot.
'Too high; speculative,' said the man
looking backward, and he would not
buy. The other fellow, looking for
ward, bought. The same property
went to $30 per front foot. The owner,
looking backward, sold and pocketed
his profit In great glee. The pur
chaser looked forward. Later the
price went to $75 per foot. The own
ers, looking backward, tumbled over
themselves to sell before a crash could
come. Looking Into the future, the
purchasers snapped up all they could
pay for.
"Then, on the same principle, H
changed hands at $150 per front foot,
and later on at $500. The sellers al
ways looking to the past, the pur
chasers reading the future.
"When at $500 per foot a certain
party asked me if the prices were not
too high, and if there must not be
a collnpse, I said, 'If you will shut
your eyes and walk along the street
and grab the first man you can and
ask him If he has any property to sell,
pay him his price for It; you will make
money.' It Is now worth from $2000 to
$3000 per front foot.
"In 1870, I offered the 'Wolfsklll
ranch, now the Baldwin ranch, 31,000
acres, for $1 per acre. No one would
buy. They looked backward at former
land prices of 25 cents per acre. The
ranch subsequently sold at $2.50 per
acre, then at $5 per acre. Now worth
$1000 per acre. The man that looked
forward made money.
"The Maclay rancho at San Fer
nando, 20,000 acres, sold for $1.26 per
acre, then ■ for $20 per acre. It was
subdivided and sold with water for
$150 per acre, planted In oranges and
In well cared for orchards. It is now
yielding from $100 to $300 per acre net.
The men that looked forward own
these orchards. The other fellow Is
described by Solomon as 'having his
eyes In the back of his head,' always
looking backward and very conserva
tive.
"Prices high! Open your eyes and
look Into the future. Do you see three
transpacific Oriental lines of steamers
loaded with commerce of the old Ori
ent and America and Europe connect
ing with three transcontinental rail
roads at San Pedro harbor?
"Do you see three double-track rail
roads to the points of eastern connec
tions loaded with traffic each way?
"Do you see the mineral wealth of
the great Interior ever pouring Into the
channels of the commercial world
through tbU city 7
"Do you sue Lot Angelea a city of
other housekeeping conveniences at

On t: c second floor are five handsome
bedrooms and a thoroughly Banltary

ing? If you do not, you are either
near-sighted or looking backward. It
Is all there.
"Yes, prlceß are high to the man
who looks backward. To the other fel
low they are far below high mark."
