FATHER CUTS
OFF HIS SON
Declares the Law Shall Take
Its Course in the Case Of
a Young Belgian Prisoner
REFUSES TO GIVE HELP
Deportation Laws to Be In
yoked to Rid Country of
Youth Who Turned Thief
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call
1016 Broadway, Feb. 1.
Let the law take its course" was the
reply of Eugene Legros' father to the
inquiry from the Belgian Consul, who
sent TO Brussels on behalf of the young
foreigner, who is under arrest on a
charge Of stealing valuable bric-a-brac
from Brigadier General Oscar F. Long
When the complaint, changed to a
charge of grand larceny, was read to-
day Legros broke down and cried. He
feels that his father has cast him out.
The prisoner, if he be convicted of the
crime with which he is charged, will be
subject to the operation of the Federal
deportation laws. These provide that a
person who shall have been convicted
arrival in the United States shall be
deported to the country from which he
came.
Prosecuting Attorney A. p. Leach
said advantage would be taken of that
law and an effort would be made to re-
turn Legros to his own country.
Legros served in the Long household
as valet. He is a linguist and bears
all of the marks of refinement and cul-
ture. His people are said to be well-to-
do. They reside in the Belgian capital
The father is interested in marine ship
ping enterprises. Legros' preliminary
examination was set for February be-
fore Police Judge Mortimer Smith.

A life of forty-five years spent in
wheel chair ended to-day, when Frank
A. Davis, a. helpless cripple, died sud
denly at the home Of his mother, Mrs.
Mary Davis, at 1919 Pine street. Davis
was taken sick this afternoon about 2
o'clock, and Drs. ]. M Kane and ]. II.
Todd were hurriedly summoned, but
the man was dead when they arrived.
The cause OF death has not been deter
mined. but is supposed to have been
due to heart failure.
Davis was born a cripple and has
never been able to walk. His father
died in 1864, and since his death the son
has been cared for by his mother. The
family came to Oakland from San
Francisco twenty years ago and has
resided here ever since. AS no physi-
clan was in attendance at the time of
death the Coroner has taken charge of
the case and an inquest will be held TO
determine the cause of death.
Besides his mother Davis leaves one
sister Mrs. Mary Murray, who resides
in this city.

ham Hoch of Chicago are one and the
same. Schmitt's career in Cincinnati
lasted from the middle of the year
1896 through 1897 and in that time he
married, four months after the death
of her husband, Mrs. Henry Bartel- A

loon-keeper. Mrs. Doess-Schmitt aft

tain real estate into cash. While the

who is willing TO confess to SO years.
The groom says he. is the lineal de-
scendant of the British aristocracy and
by the income derived from few little
houses has been enabled to make his
beast good that he has never soiled
his hands with manual labor.
The aged groom asserts that Sir
Harry Nane was his ancestor and that
the blue blood of old England is in
his veins. He came to this city about
thirty years ago with his wife and they
were accompanied by her sister. When
later on his wife died he downed the
English prejudice against marrying a
deceased wife's sister and married his
sister-in-law. She, too, died.
Thorne's voyage on the sea of matri-
mony then encountered rough passage.
He next tried a young woman of 25,
who left him in a few months, and he
was granted a divorce from her and
she was followed by a Portland widow
who charged him with cruelty and Sc
cured as divorce. She was granted a
final decree last June and Thorne did
not wait long after legal ties had freed
him before looking for another.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 1.-Major Jose Ra-
mon Pico, the last of the distinguished
Spanish family that gave to- California
It's last Governor under Mexican rule
and its first Lieutenant Governor un-
der United States sovereignty, passed
away shortly before noon to-day at
his residence, 1922 Broadway, age rs
years Death was due to gangrene of
the left foot, which resulted from an
old wound.
Jose Ramon Pico was born in San
Jose in 1926, his father being General
Antonio Maria Pico, who commanded
the Mexican troops In California during
the war between the United States and
Mexico Pho Pico, the last Mexi-
can Governor of California, was an un-
Gle of Major Pico, and Dolores Pico of
CASTLE and California was his grand
father Dolores Pico came to California
in 1851 with a commission from the
King of Spain to establish missions and
conquer the Indians.
General Pico, Major Pic0s sire, was
one of the signers of the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo and became good
American citizen after California
passed under control Of the United
States. He died impoverished, but full
pride of his high-born race and re-
fused TO learn the language of his con-
Querors.
Major Pico served as lieutenant IN
the Mexican war under his father and
participated in several battles with the
American troops commanded by Gen
eral John c. Fremont. At the outbreak
of the Civil War he organized and
equipped four troops for the First
United States Cavalry. After seeing
much service against the Indians he
retired from the army in 1867 with the
rank of major. After years of legisla-
tive effort Major Pico was awarded
$4,000 by the State of California for the
assistance he had given the Northern
cause during the Civil War.
AT one time the Picos were owners
of vast grants of land throughout CAL
ifornia, located principally in the south.
These all passed to the possession Of
the hustling and business bent gringo,
leaving their original possessors but lit
tie better off for having owned them.
Major Pico was twice married, his
second wedding took place twenty-tw two
years ago. He is survived by his sec
ond wife, Mrs. Jennie Hutchinson Pico,
and two daughters. by his first wife,
Mrs C. T. Bell and Mrs. d. I. Pico
both of Los Angeles.
Major Pico was typicaf Spanish
cavalier of the old school-proud. hos
pitable, simple and frank. He had all
that grace of carriage and gesture,
charm of voice and diction. fmperious-
ness and dignity of spirit that were the
embodiment of the historic Spanish
grandee. He was of large and impos-
ing physique and sprightly for one of
his advanced years. Major Pico was a
member of the Grand Army of the Re
public, and was never more delighted
that when barking back to the days
before the gringo came and telling of
the parts he played in the Mexican and
Civil wars.
Major Pico's funeral will be held from
ST. Claire's Church, Santa Clara, Fri
day morning, and his body will be laid
at rest beside the remains of his fore
bears in the old cemetery in the mis-
sion town.
