Associates of Allen In Lick Institu'
ton Meet and Consider
fsfs Death.


The four classes of the California
School OF Mechanical Arts met sep
arately yesterday to decide what ac-
tion should be taken In regard to the
tragic death of Frank Allen, who was
killed by the accidental falling on his
head of hammer such as is used
in athletic contests on Tuesday after-
noon. Aliens classmates of the class
OF '07 directed their secretary to send
a note to the mother of their dead
schcolnate and also to obtain, at some
later time. a fitting memorial. The
class Of OF will send flowers. and this
action will be followed by the other
classes.
In the afternoon Mr.. Merrill, the
principal of the school, addressed the
students and expressed his regret and
also said that upon reviewing the ac-
cident with the president OF the board
of trustees he had come to the con-
clusion that, though it was not the
fault OF any one In particular, 1t could
be traced to the error of permitting
the sport Of hammer throwing In the
secondary schools.
After his remarks the meeting re-
solved Itself into a joint session OF
all the students. That body appoint-
ed a committee to formulate resolu-
;tions and to prepare fitting me-
mortal. The school was closed yes
terday. not to be reopened until the
24th inst. The faculty will probably
cooperate with the students to COM
struct a bronze monument to be pre-
pared by the hands Of Aliens school
mates.
The funeral service will take place
to-day at LAO o'clock In the Methodist
Episcopal, church, at California and
Broderfck streets. The interment will
be at the Cypress Lawn Cemetery.

ry A. Floyd Gopcevic Of San Francisco,
who left more than $500, 600 OF her for
tune to the street car gr1pman whom
she married nine months before her
death. 1t is said the lawyers for the

among his relatives.
Mrs. McAdoo is one of the two sisters
OF Captain Floyd and it is said about
one-third Of the estate will go to her

One Of the grounds of the contest is
the alleged legal disability of Mrs. Cop

amount having been hers as trust
to be held for her fathers and mothers 9
relatives. She was given the power to
name the trustees of this fund In her

soundness of mind. Miss Floyd, the
wealthy heiress met Gopcevic while

in part:
I can in a sense claim to be, by
blood at least, a typical President, for
/ am half Southerner and half North
erner. I was born in the East and !
have a great deal of the West in my
spirit.
Il want you men of Texas, you men
of my age, TO see to-day that exactly
as you lift your heads here by virtue OF
what your fathers have done, so your
children have the right to hold their
heads high because of the way in which
you have handled yourselves. A glo-
rious memory is the best Of all things for
a nation If II spurs that nation on TO
try to rise level with that memory. It
is a poor thing for a nation If 1t uses
the memory of the past to excuse 1t for
1nactionsor failure IN the present. Keep
before yourselves ever that the very
fact that you are proud of those who
have gone before makes it incumbent
upon you to leave a heritage Of honor
10 those who are to come after you,
and to train up those who are TO come
after you so that they can do their
work IN the world"

Supreme Court Says Los Angeles
Councilman Was Not Legally
Removed From Once.
J. p. Davenport, the Los Angeles
Councilman who attained fame
through being a victim of the south
ern city's celebrated recall act.'' was
ordered restored to his position by
the Supreme Court yesterday. The
term OF office has expired. but Daven-
port is entitled to recover the amount
Of his salary from the time of his dis
missal until he should have retired to
private life Ia the natural course OF
events.
The court does not discuss the con-
stitutionality of the act in question,
but sustains the deppsed legislator on
technical grounds. The law provides
that a Councilman who has been
elected in the regular way may be
called upon to again be acandidate a. If
25 per cent OF the voters so request
He may have served only a month be-
fore he is compelled to go before the
people again. Davenport served all
but one month OF his term before he
was recalled.
The act provides that the City Clerk
must compare the names OF the sign
ers to the petition with the great reg
lister that no fraud may be perpetrat-
ed. IN the case at bar the Clerk fall
ed to do this. SO the Supreme Court
declares the proceeding void. Arthur

coed Davenport, caR receive no sal
ary for his services.
Chief Justice Beatty dissents from
the majority opinion because he be-
lieves the Clerks certificate sufficed
