P PARENTS UNABLE
TO BURY INFANT
Body of Little One Brought
to Morgue With Request
That 1t Be Inferred
ENCASED IN SHOE BOX
Child of Mrs. Martinez Dies
and Poverty Makes Matter
of Burial Perplexing One
ENCASED IN SHOE BOX

A pathetic story OF poverty came to
light at the Morgue last night, when
a young couple, unable to bear the ex-
penses of interring their infant daugh-
ter, sent its body to the city's dead
house with a request that it be laid to
rest with proper respect. A paper shoe
box encased the tiny remains. and be-
fore parting with their offspring the
parents laid q few faded flowers, all
they could secure. upon the cover.
1t was Mrs. N. Dias Of 15141s Powell
street who brought the child's body to
the Morgue. She said its parents were
Raymond and Margaretta Martinez,
and that 1t had died one day after
birth. Marines was penniless and out
of work and when the little one ex-
pired he was In q quandary as to how
to dispose Of It. He wished Il to re-
ceive proper burial. but he knew OF no
means by which he could obtain
money. He had few friends In the city.
and those few pleaded poverty when
asked to contribute to the funeral ex-
pense.
It was then that he consulted his
ncighbor, Mrs. Dias. The woman was
equally puzzled, but finally suggested
that the city authorities be appealed
to. Again the perplexing question arose
as to the proper course to pursue. and
the Morgue was decided upon, because
its name and location were familiar.
Martinez secured a shoe box, and
after placing the wrapped body In 1t
covered It with flowers. The mother,
who was still very i'll. was allowed
last view, and then the remains were
given into the care OF the neighbor.
Martinez being obliged to remain with
his wife, to be taken to the Morgue.
Deputies Fennell and Meehan. who
received the case. promised that a
coffin should be secured and proper
burial given.

WIND MARS THE FUN

The delayed dances Of May day fes-
tivities took place yesterday at Golden
Gate Park. A large crowd of little
ones was present. accompanied by
their mothers, relatives and friends.
The day was not especially favorable
for the entertainment. as the clouds
were lowering and the wind was whist
ling In gusty squalls.
The dancing was on g raised plat
form on the children's playground.
This gave the spectators. splendid
opportunity to see the different evolu-
tions of the children. The platform
was gayly decked with evergreens and
red. white and blue bunting. In the
middle of the platform was tall May
pole, with brilliant satin ribbon
streamers of many different hues.
The crowd began to arrive early. II
scattered about the park in regula-
ton picnic fashion and sat under the
trees to enjoy the picnic luncheons.
Almost all the little children were
dressed in white. and as they gamboled
over the lawns they presented pic.
and childish beauty.
Lie QduCl1S, WHICH WAS uuueT tuc

Logan, began at / o'clock. First came

were Misses Mildred Fulsher, Rather
inc Hunansen, Aileen Fischer, Ruth
Fischer, Anita Johns, Isabel Much,
Ellen Tanner. Gladys Coats, Elinor
Smith, Amy Ralph, Erzy Randall,

ferent evolutions of the dance were
charmingly executed. The dainty lit
tie misses were all prettily attired in
white and wore wreaths of flowers in
their hair.
Following the May-pole dance were
g number of pretty fancy dances. all
of which were splendidlyf executed.
Those who took part in these were:
Flora Dietrich as Folly, Evangeline

Many members of the National
Guard are wondering why it is that
there was no delay in selecting
brigadier general for the First Bri-
gade and yet none has been selected
for the Second Brigade.

ing the First. Infantry, has been de-

Infantry at Stony Point range was shot
on April 80 by twenty-four men of
Company d, Captain Vanderbilt, and
twenty-five men Of Company c, Cap
tain Dickson. 1t resulted in Company
C's men winning by 65 points. The
day was raw and the wind blow
ing almost a gale. The members Of
both companies were enthusiastic and
ready to make good records, but the
elements were against them. The next
match will be shot at the San Rafael
range.
There is but little being done in the
matter of target practice In the north
ern half Of the State for the reason
that the inspector of rifle practice is
away on leave of absence for three
months and there does not appear to
be any one taking any interest in the
matter.
