DEAD MAN" STILL LIVING
Weeping Relatives Who Gave Expen.

Estate Dry Tears
Special to The Herald.

special 10 Inc Herald.
PORTLAND, Ore, April 2O.-The
weeping relatives of Louis A. Frazee
have dried their tears, for although
they gave him an expensive funeral
service and proceeded to administer his
estate, he is still in the land of the
living. The man buried was Louis
Frazee. Both were inmates of the
state asylum for the insane and
through an error of the employees of
the institution, the wrong family was
notified and the body shipped.
Ten years ago Louis A. Frazee was
sent to the insane asylum from this
county and he has ever since been in
that institution. Several weeks ago
Mrs. f. G. Vaughan of Eugene, his
sister received message from the
hospital authorities stating that her
brother was dead and asking what
disposition should be made of the body.
She at once wired the asylum author
tiles to forward the body to Eugene
and the request was complied with.
lot in the cemetery of the Univers-
ity city was purchased and the body
laid to rest. Impressive funeral ser
vices were held, many beautiful and
costly floral tributes were laid on the
casket, and a lange throng of friends
followed the body to the burial ground

and burial. A brother in Illinois be-
came skeptical because Louis was said
to have some $3500 in cash and five
acres of land near Portland, and he at
once telegraphed the superintendent of
the asylum for an account of Louis A.
Frazee's death. Great was his sur
prise to see message that his brother
was not dead.
In the meantime Mrs. Vaughan came
to Portland to settle her supposed
brothers estate. F. G. Vaughan was
appointed administrator, appraisers
were selected, and everything done in
a legal way to have the estate settled.
The attorney who had been appointed
guardian of Frazee, when notified of
the latter's death, had at once closed
up all guardianship matters. Vaughan
had appointed an attorney for the estate
when the mistake of the asylum au-
thorities was discovered.
In the asylum there were two insane
patients named Louis Frazee, and
when one died he was thought at first
to be Louis A. Frazee. A demand will
be made upon the state by Mrs.
Vaughan to refund the money she is
out for the funeral expenses Of the
buried man.

JOHN SINGLETON
AND WIFE ESCAPE
LOS ANGELES MILLIONAIRE
TELLS EXPERIENCE
Barely Escaped From Palace Hotel
and, Like Others, Now Is
Stranded in Oak.

OAKLAND, April 20.-Among the
refugees from San Francisco who found
themselves stranded in this city today
was John Singleton, Los Angeles mil
lionaire, his wife and her sister. The
Singletons were staying at the Palace
hotel when the earthquake shock oc-
CURED on Wednesday morning. Mr..
Singleton gives the following account
of his experience:
1.-THE shock wrecked the rooms in
which we were sleeping. We managed
to get our clothes on and got out i'm
mediately. We had been at the hotel
only two days and left probably $4,000
worth of personal effects in, the room.
Secured Express Wagon
after leaving the Palace we secured
an express wagon for $25 to take us to
the Casino, near Golden Gate park,
where we stayed Wednesday. On
Thursday morning we managed to get
a conveyance at enormous cost and
spent the entire day in getting to this
place.
I'VE paid dollar a piece for eggs
these and little ham we had to be
satisfied. We reached Oakland last
night on ferry boat and are now try
ing to get back to Los Angeles"
Mr.. Singleton, like thousands of other
people in Oakland, found himself with
out funds this morning and as there
are not banks open and none will be
open, until Monday he had difficulty in
securing cash until he met someone
who knew him.
The people who find themselves with
out money in Oakland today are numer-
Gus and all are having difficulty in
securing cash owing to the banks and
all big business houses being closed by
proclamation of the governor.
Those who are unable to buy food,
however, are being supplied by the
local relief committees and by the
various churches which are being
thrown open to accommodate the home

NEW YORK, April 2O.-Policeman
Henry S. Simoney of the East 104th
street station cannot help it that he
snores. Besides, he is rotund. When
he snores his great chest heaves and
even his bed groans. Simoney cannot
understand why the sixteen men who
sleep with him in the station will not
sympathize, instead of throwing things
at him, especially as that is not a
permanent cure.
Last night .his sixteen mates could
stand it no longer. They sent down a
committee of three to Sergeant North
rup to ask that Simoney sleep some
where else The policemen were in
their nightrobes as they approached
the desk and saluted. The sergeant
listened to their tale of woe and then
said that he too, had heard the sounds
of the sleeping Simoney.
Then Captain Capten came in. Find
ing out what the trouble was, he
sent for the snorer and had him take
bed on the third floor. with warning
that he must not make too much noise
up there, either.
Nothing more had been heard from
Simoney up to an early hour this
morning.

MOSS THREATENS PECANS
of the Trees in Southwest
Texas
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 90
The pecan forests of Southwest Texas
are threatened by a moss growth very
like the Spanish moss, save in the
texture and length of the tendrilis.
This new parasitic plague of forest
growth is rapidly spreading over all the
forest trees of Southwest Texas and
its results are fatal. to the trees in a
short time. The moss clings to the
trees and spreads rapidly throughout
the branches, sucking away the life OF
the trees.
The park employees of San Antonio
discovered this moss a few years ago
and began knocking it from the trees,
because it seemed to interfere with
their growth. In the case where the
moss was not knocked off the trees
have died.
This moss is now attacking the pc
can groves, of which there are many
thousands of acres in Southwest. Tex
as. The gravity of the situation has
come to the attention of the federal
bureau of forestry, and Angus Mann
representative of the bureau, is here
Investigating the situation.
This new and destructive variety OF
moss is not unlike the Spanish moss
save that it grows in punches and does
not hang in festoons from the trees
The Spanish moss lives entirely from
the air, while this bunch moss insin-
yates itself into the bark of the tree
and saps the life from the tree between
the bark and wood of the limbs.
The moss Is spread from tree to tree
by the wind blowing fine lintlike fibres
which Immediately attach themselves
to the bark of any tree they come III
contact with. The recent invasion OF
the pecan forests by this moss has
aroused the foresters to activity in be-
half of the valuable trees jeopardiZed
A theory of the foresters regarding
the spread of the moss is that it has
heretofore been retarded by prairie
fires, which are now so uncommon as
to interpose no material obstacle to a
free spread of the parasite.
