ASSOCIATE OF
HENEY GIVEN A
FEDERAL PLACE
Former Partner of Graft Prose*
cutor to Be Assigned to fn*
terior Department
Appointment as Assistant At=
torney General Indicates
Change in Policy
Charles W". c«>hh, former law partner
«>f Francis J. Heney and associated with
Hen«y in the Kruft pinsecutions. will be
appointed assistant attorney general for
the interior department. He will suc
ceed Oscar Lawler of Los Anseles, who
filed bin resignation when Ballinger was
•ucceeded by Secretary Fisher.
, - rresi*pnt Taffa determination to rat
ify Secretary Fisher's choice of a suc
cessor for Lawler was announced'in
formally In Washington yesterday and
*übsei|uently-confirmed by Cobb him
self, %vho,sent this message to his asso
ciate. Jotvn If. Rlordan: l
"The president : lias ' decided to ap
point me ..assistant attorney general.
This has Just been made public here."
Th* appointment at Coi.'i to succeed
lAwler is the second Jong step in. the
president's seeming determination to
effect a complete change of policy in
the department of the Interior. -I-iawler
was an organization man, f committed to
the policies of Ballinger and a champion
of his cause. ' Cobb Is a progressive,
«;hosen by Secretary Fisher because of
his associations' with the progressives
■nd because of th^ir recommendations. a
VICTORY SCORED BY KK>T . „
The appointment of Cobb probably
means that £an Francisco's efforts to

viser to the new secretary of the In

There is another and equally inter
, phase of the appointment of

proKressive, and incidentally for Fran
cis J. Heney. Xheir first crumb broken
from the administration loaf is sub
stantial and r>f vastly greater impor
tance than is suggested by the place
itself.
Rumors of the probable appointment
bb have been in the air for sev
eral weeks. With those rumors was
■1 the name of John I>. Works.
$Bnlor senator from California, elected
as » progressive. It now develops that
th<» appointment was Secured by Con
gressman Kent; that the selection of
made by Herfy and that if
"Works has had any part in the proceed
ings it has been entirely subsidiary.
HF.NEV HAD TOE UEITIAL
. Incidentally. «ome idea of the new
-Order of things in the department of
rthe interior may be gathered from the
■fart that Heney had the refusal of the
place. This does not mean that Presi
dent Taft was a party to' the offer to
Heney, but It may b°e assumed from the
appointment of Cobbthaf if Heney had
accepted the Offer that was made to
him the president would have confirmed
th» selection as he has the selection of
Cohh. •' * •.
Secretary F'ishet. an ardent conserv
ationist, h reformer and a friend of
Oifford Pinchot. is also an old political
friend and associate of Congressman
K«nt. They did politics together in
Chicago. When Miner succeeded Bal
linger he went to Kert saying. "I want
a high grade California man to succeed
Lawler."
Kent recommended Frnn'-is .1. Honey,
and the place was offered to the graft
prosecutor. He declined to accept the
place, and recommended in his stead
the appointment ef his former partner,
Charles \V. Cobb. President Taffs con
firmation of the selection is a big con
cession to the progressives of Califor
nia, as well as an earnest of executive
intent to give Secretary Fisher a free
hand In his department.
ASMITED IX GRAFT t ASES
Cobb is well known to the local pro
fession In San Franeigeo. where he has
won an enviable reputation as a leader
among the younger members, of the bar.
He has taken an active part in a num- ,
ber of important cases.
Cobb was formerly Heney's partner
and was engaged with him throughout
the San Francisco graft investigations
and trials. The office of the firm of
Heney. Cobb & Dwyer -was then in the
famous "red house" 1 in Franklin street
between O'Farrell and Geary, in which
many of the spectacular events and
trannaettons ot the graft prosecutions
occurred.
While enffßßed In the prosecution of
the graft cases Cobb seldom appeared
In the courtrooms where the cases were
on trlaK He was the office lawyer of
the prosecution, and most of the briefs
tiled and the outlines of the many legal
arguments presented during the vAri
nuft trials were prepared by him. In
addition, he drew most of the indict
ments whirh were returned against the
graft case defendants.
I'r.bb Is a native of Gllroy. He first
practiced in San Jose as a partner of

"We are surprised at the great number of people who recognize the
fact that San Francisco has awakened and Is starting an era of home
building that will rival all Southern California. •
CONTRACTORS
Contractors, who know'conditions!, have called at our offices, and re
marked. "You people are on the right track. I don't see why som* one
did not start a co-operative building company long ago. .1 will join you
and tf>lr my friends what a great future the San Francisco Home Builders

EASTERN REPRESENTATIVES
Men- of note, from New York have come in and subscribed for San'
.Francisco Home Builders stock, saying, "It is marvelous how your City
has been built-up. Js'ow everybody will turn their attention to building a
home. "'San Francisco Home' Builders have struck the psychological mo
ment to present their legitimate stock offering to the public. Los Angeles

San Francisco's opportunity is a hundred times greater than the one pre

PRIDE
"• ■ Everybody knows the pride a resident of San Francisco takes in this
great City. After the fire the object was 'to build up the downtown dis
trict. "We can live in a shack temporarily." they would say. Now that
we have the Fair,; that pame;prltle will prevail In the residential district,
and all San Francisco will he proud of the new homes that are shown to •
the sightseer who comes to visit the Fair.- . .: ■ . :^
.. Southern California was built' up by the home building companies,"
;and the San Francisco Koine Builders should do more to rebuild the resi- ,
dence district of San Francisco -than "any other one { concern. -.-, ■•'■<-. . -;';
Stand by our good, solid board of directors by sending in your check
for as many shares of stock as you can-afford. to carry, and your divi
dends should never be less than S. per cent on the amount Invested. Be
sides getting big returns on your money you will have the pleasure of
beautifying the City and helping a worthy man to • build a home.
Don't overlook the. sure ndvrnce In the price of stock.
10,000 HOMES
It has been stated by men who talked over the great work to be done
by the San Francisco Home Builders that at least 10,000 people have failed
-to get money at the Banks to build a home in and around San Francisco
because their lots were too far out and th,e Banks could loan all the
money they had to spare right down town. . What we know is that we
have a waiting list of people who want to see-- the plans of: houses and
build at the earliest possible moment, and it Is no exaggeration to say
that we could put our entire capital to work building" homes if it were all
paid in, and just think what that means to the stock holders who will
furnish the money.. . .....
OUR STRENGTH
is In the number of stock holders "we have. Undoubtedly* each stock >
holder will have ten friends, and they are sure to talk of a home some
day. and they will refer their friends to the San Francisco Home Builders
if they are stock holders or have friends who are stock holders in the
Company. ~
Buy 500 or 1.000 shares of stock today, as the Company Is assured of
success by the widespread Interest that- is being taken In it, and the sub
scriptions that are pouring into our office.
'. SAN FRANCISCO HOME BUILDERS
The San Francisco Home Builders la modeled along the lines, of sev
eral of the most successful home building companies of SouthernV"alifor
nia. All the good points of these companies have been used, and some
strong additional points have been made. . ■ ; -..
The San Francluro Home Builder* In formed nlonar con»«Trntlv»» linen.
Our policy la "No speculating; in unimproved roal estate} no building of
hnu«M until /they are told." Thus wf nave interest on the capital in
vested.. We Milt pay rnKh for whatever we buy, thus making thousands
of .dollars eneh year on discounts. . . ■ ■ ... ,
Kvery dollar Invented in eneh ' home vie build will earn 8 per cent
Interest on deferred payments, y m well an a 'contractor's profit on the
building of the house. • • «• - ■ ■ ■■
:•■-: We can see no reason why the San Francisco Home Builders should
not go on a dividend paying basis of 8 per cent within the first six
months of its existence as a corporation. The people are here, and many
more are coming In every hour of the day, and they all want to own a.»
home in sunny California, as the fame of California bungalows.; has
reached every corner of the globe. We have been offered more contract*
for home* than no can complete In the next three months.

Any Woman Can
Have Beautiful Hair
(From French Beauty Monthly).
"No woman should use water upon
her hair oftener than once in two
months," says M. Fournicr, the noted
French scientist. "Dry powder only
should he used. Moisture causes the
hair to lose its color and in time be
come ihin.
"Any woman desiring abundant.
j lustrous hair should use a dry sham-
I poo every two or three days. Mix
jfour ounces of powdered orris root
i with four ounces of therox. Sprinkle
I about a tablcspoonful of tnis mix-
I turc upon the head: then brush the
j powder thoroughly through the hair.
! This will keep it light and fluffy, and
! beautifully lustrous. You will soon
| see piew hair starting to grow. This
! treatment is the only thing that T am
' sure will produce a growth of hair.
"While plain orris root is used as a
-iiampoo by many women, still,
no such results can be obtained as by
i using the formula I have given."
