PRINCE NANZETTTS TIGER
FAT WORKS NO CHARM
Dispenser of Oriental Remedies Is
Found Guilty of Practicing
Medicine IIleualIv

After consultation of less than fif-
teen minutes yesterday afternoon a
jury in the case of the people against
Prince Nanzetti, charged with practic-
ing medicine without license by the
state board of medical examiners, re-
turned verdict of guilty and 1.-The
prince" will be sentenced Saturday
morning.
The case against Nanzetti has been
the hardest fought of the crusade
against illegal practitioners by local
representatives of the state board and
determined effort was made by the
Oriental Remedy company, of which
Nanzetti was an employe, to test the
case. Attorney Dockweiler defended
the prince.
At the examination of witnesses yes
terday Nanzetti confessed that he went
under the names of Nanzetti, Dias,
Van SAINT and Hodji. He explained
that his true name was Harry Nam
zetti and that, he was born in India
He also explained that his mother s
maiden name was Dias Van SAINT and
that he belonged to the clan of Hodji
in India, thus explaining his multitude
of names.
DR.. Price w. Hughes appeared for
the defense and testified that he was
the physician of the company and at
tended to the examination of patients,
but the prosecution proved that Hughes
did not attend to the case of the prose-
cutting witness.

tism and a box of tiger marrow fat

DIES LEAVING TWO WIVES
John Williams, One Time GIadstone's
Butler, Dead at County Hospital

John Williams, the Welshman who
has been placed in an embarrassing
position since his arrival at the county
hospital three weeks ago by visits of
two wives, died early yesterday morn
ing. The man who was best known for
having been at one time Gladstone's
butler has lived a life filled with
strange occurrences. He claims to
have lost fortune in the Johnstown
flood and for the past four or five years
has been doing different kinds of work
at Wilmington and San Pedro, where
he lived. He leaves some lots and
a three room house at Wilmington and
a small amount of other property in
the east. 1t was not until he was on
his deathbed that the accusation of
blgamy was brought against him and
1t is probable that trouble will arise
between the two women over the dis
position of the property.

How often do we hear women say: ut
seems as though my back would break, ="
or Don't speak to me, 1 am all out OF
sorts2" These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and the blues" are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some uterine arrangement. Nature
requires assistance and at once, and
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments of
women. 1t has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the ablest specialists agree
that 1t is the most universally success
full remedy for woman's ills known to
medicine.
The following letters from Mrs.
Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among
the many thousands which Mrs. Pink
ham has received this year from those
whom she has relieved.
Surely such testimony is convincing.
Mrs. JIG. Holmes, of Larimore, North
Dakota, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham;--
~ have suffered everything with backache
and womb trouble-I let the trouble run on
until my system was in such a condition that
was unable to be about, and then it was
commenced to use Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound. II had only known how
much suffering would have saved, should
have taken it months sooner-for a few
weeks treatment made me well and strong.
My backaches and headachesare all gone and
I suffer no pain at my menstrual periods,
whereas before 1 took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound suffered intense pain" }"

LONG BEACH MINISTER TRIED
ON INSANITY CHARGE
Lunacy Commission Decides That Rel
atives of the Couple Were to
Blame and Patient Is
Dismissed

With his wife and family as his
accusers Rev. ]. S. Matthews of Long
Beach was examined yesterday be-
fore Judge Wilbur and the lunacy
commission on the charge OF insanity.
Il want the court to tell me today
If my husband is an insane person
or If he has degenerated," declared
Mrs. Matthews.
She declared that her husband in
dulged quite freely in intoxicating IL
quors and that at times he used pro-
fame language.
Mrs. Matthews told the court that
when liquor was not obtainable he
used alcohol and camphor as substi-
tutes>
His best friends have lost confidence
in him." asserted the witness.
Other members of the family testi-
fled against the accused minister.
The minister in defending himself
emphatically denied the charges made
against him. and when the officials of
the county hospital were called to the
stand the insanity charge fell fiat
The officials intimated that it was a
case in which the relatives of an
estranged couple had chosen to try
their differences of opinion before the
lunacy commission.
Matthews was formerly rector of a
church at Covina, but for some time
past has been assisting his wife in
the lodging house business at Long
Beach.
Owing to the insufficiency of evidence
against the minister to substantlate
the charge of insanity. Judge Wilbur
at the conclusion of the hearing dis
charged the patient.

Been Denied Participation In the
Performance of Contract

Claiming that they have been denied
participation in the performance Of n
contract, Adolph Ramish and Martin C.
Marsh, doing business under the firm
rame of Ramish & Marsh, filed suit
yesterday in the superior court against
Charles Stansbury, James B. Hughes
and Charles l.. Powell, known as the
firm of Stansbury & Hughes.
The suit grows out of the outfall
sewer contract, which was let some
time ago by the city council to Con-
tractor ]. S. Edwards of Pasadena,
and subsequently assigned by Ed
wards to the firm of Stansbury &
Hughes.
In the complaint filed by Attorney

plaintiffs, 1t appears that June Is all
the persons named in the complaint,
and three others not mentioned, en-
tered into an agreement to bid for the
outfall sewer work.

contract was not let to any one of
them they would, If possible, secure
the assignment from the successful
bidder.
In the event that the contract was
received, Ramish e. Marsh were to re-
ceive one-fifth interest in the profits,
Stansbury & Hughes one-f1fth, c. l..
Powell one-hfth, and the remaining
two-fifths interest to go to the persons
not named.
July II last the contract was let to
]. S. Edwards for $565,OO0, and he as
signed the contract to Stansbury &
Hughes.
In negotiating for the assignment.
the plaintiffs in this action were not
consulted, and Stansbury & Hughes
subsequently acquired the interest be-
longing to the three persons not
named.
The court Is asked to order the de-
PENDANTS to assign to plaintiffs their
one-fifth interest, and to enjoin de-
PENDANTS from performing the contract
without the consent of the plaintiffs.

YOUNG NEGRO CLEARS
HIMSELF WITH TALK
Dusky Youths Astonishing vocabu-
larry Puzzles Police Court
Officials


Straight as ramrod and about the
same size and with an air of prosperi-
ty about him, dlminutive negro ap-
peared at the police station yesterday
and was charged by Officer Ditzen with
having attempted to sell stolen prop
erty.
The little negro gave his name as
Leo Bailey and said he was an actor
at local theater. According to the
assertion of the youngster, he. in the
company of white boy, intended to
have good time, yesterday and tried
to pawn his ring but could not. The
white boy then pawned a revolver and
the two were placed under arrest as
they left the pawnshop. The darky
was in tears when he faced the desk
sergeant, but told his story with such
a flow of language of the highly Bos-
tonian type that officers and by-stand-
ers were compelled to consult diction-
aries to secure a translation. When
the negro was asked why he had run
away when the officer started to arrest
him, he finished his appeal and gained
his liberty with the following asser-
ton:
why 1 am from New York and have
travelled a good DEAL" said the youngs-
ter. "and appeal to the experience Of
any gentleman present, to bear me out
in the assertion that nine out of ten
of the average boys of this country
will run when they see an officer about
to grab them. Am not right?"

THIEF CARRIES AWAY CLOCK
Police Searching for Robber With
3o0-Day Timepiece


Police officers and detectives are
securing the city in search OF thlet
with a hree-hundred-day clock under
his arm.
The clock is not a large one, but its
pattern is unique. 1t has not been
offered for sale at any local pawn shop,
the police say, nor has it been carried
into any cheap lodging houses, and as
a result the only place that the clock
can be located is on the person of its
present owner.
The time piece formerly belonged to
w. 8. Bartlett, president of the Union
Bank of Savings, and at one time oc-
cupied a place of honor on mantle
piece in one OF the drawing rooms of
the Bartlett home on West Twenty
Bartlett family removed to new man
sion on West Adams Heights and the
home was newly furnished. Many
valuable pieces of furniture and orna-
ments, however, were left in the old
home.
Several days later Well-dresSeu
stranger arrived at the old Bartlett
home and made entry through rear
door. With distinct care, the stranger
looked over the articles of value in the
house. Everything was carefully ex-
amined, but nothing struck the fancy
of this thief but this clock, valued at
about $100.
The case was reported to the police
and now officers are looking for the

Father Turnell Will Prob
 ably Visit Skagway

The Rev. Father P. c. Bougis, of St, Marks church, has received a letter from Father Trnell, formerly of Sksg- way, who is spending some time at Juneau. Be is not in very good health and will take long rest before going out to the weatwsrd again. He lived most of the last summer in 8 tent and the result was not good for him.
 Concerning the work of Father Fur nell out at the westward lest summer, the Juneau Dispatch says:
 Father Turuell arrived on the Ex- eelsior from Valdez, where he had spent three weeks on his way from Seward. The father reports that Val dez is looking prosperous and that his friends there have offered him three choice lots in two different locations for the erection of a Catholic church.
 In Seward, where Father Turnell has been during the past summer en- deavoring to arrange for the building of a church, he found it difficult to Se- cure a suitable location, and for the present he determined to wait until the unliberal spirit of discrimination dis appears, which now prevails among such as hold controlling interests in tSe townsite company of Seward. He will in all probability fix his residence in Valdez when he returns westward, visiting Seward as the occasion de- mands."
