WEDDING MAKES
STRANGE M|XUP
CL OUDESLEY JOHNS TAKES A
FAIR BRIDE
Countess Dorothy Won PiontoWskl
Married to Rising Young Author,
Who Is Close Friend of
Jack London

When q man marries the mother of
his sister-in-law does he thereby be-
come his own father-in-law or is he the
father of his brother who married the
daughter of his wife? These and other
questions of relationship are up to
Cloudesley Johns and his wife, the
Countess Won PiOntowski, to solve. I
Some months ago Herbert Peet, half
brother OF Johns, created sensation
by eloping with the Countess Opal Won
Piontowski, daughter of Countess Doro-
thy, who was married yesterday after
noon.
1t was rumored at the time that the
match was not pleasing to the young
brides mother and that she was greatly
disappointed in the match made by her
daughter. The marriage of the object
ing countess to Cloudesley Johns yes
terday therefore created greater sur
prise than the marriage of her dauSh-
ter.
Countess Dorothy Won Piontowski
has been a resident of the City Of
Mexico far the past sixteen years and
has been in the habit of spending the
summers in Los Angeles
The service was performed by Rev.
w. c.. Bowman. father of the bride, and
took place at his home. The youthful
stories which have appeared in eastern
periodicals.
The family of Cloudesley Johns is
one of the best in the city and his
grandmother, Mrs. Rebecca Spring,
was the former friend of Emerson,
Longfellow, oliver Wendell Holmes
and Margaret Fuller.
The bride is a member of family of
Polish mobiles and is well known to
residents of Los Angeles. Although
there is considerable disparity in the
ages of the bride and bridegroom, the
youthful appearance and vivacious
manner of the beautiful countess coun-
teracted the effect.
Cloudesley Johns has been associated
with Jack London for many years and
the two have made many trips to-
gether in the land of never melting
SHOWS and also upon London's yacht.
On account of the illness of the brides
sister the wedding was a quiet one
and only few friends were present at
the home of Rev. w, C. Bowman of
1923 East Forty-ninth street, where the
ceremony was held.

HIGGINS DEATH
STILL A MYSTERY
RELATIVES CALL AT POLICE
HEADQUARTERS
Effort May Be Made to Bring Mem
pers of Occidental Club Into
Court-Various Theories
Advanced

The recent death of Victor G. IIig-
gins, the Occidental club porter who
was assaulted by two young men at
the club about month ago, may re-
suit In criminal prosecution.
Yesterday afternoon relatives of the
decedent called at the police station
and were closeted with Chief Auble
for nearly an hour
City prosecutor Beebe was also Vjs-
tied and Informed of certain facts that
tended to show that Higgins died as a
result of the beating he had received
on or about February %.
detectives were called into the office
and the case was thoroughly discussed.
According to the officers, a complaint
will issue, either for battery or perhaps
for assault with an attempt to COM
init murder.
Friends of the young man assert that
Higgins plainly showed the marks of
the assault. They claimed that there
were finger marks on his throat,
bruises on his head, and that one
thumb had been cut or bitten.
Chief Auble stated to a reporter that
officers were working on the case but
that In his judgement no murder had
been committed.
made an investigation and were salts.
fled that the man died from natural
causes" the chief said.
However, If they can show us that
Death resulted from blows struck dur
ing fight at the Occidental club, then
it is different proposition"
What City Prosecutor Says
City Prosecutor Beebe said: IF any,
thing more than simple assault or
battery had been committed, it is be-
yond my province. 1t would then be q
matter for the district attorneys
office.
II believe in such cases that an in
vestigation should be made and the
truth ascertained. These people this
afternoon have told things that may
put serious aspect upon the case"
On the other hand officials of the
club say that Higgins could not have
died as a result of the alleged beating
that Henry johnson and e. Kuhlman
are said to have given the consumptive
young attendant.
The autopsy showed that death re-
suited from heart trouble, cardiac
asthma and consumption.
Might Have fastened Death
1t is argued that the mans death
might have been hastened by the as
sault but that he would have died
anyway from the complication of trou-
bes for which he was treated.
The fact that death occurred a month
after the trouble at the club is used
as an effective argument against the
action that is now being undertaken by
the relatives of the decedent.
According to one of the detectives.
q. battery charge will doubtless lie
against Johnattr and Kuhlman, but any
stronger charge could not be sustained,
Notwithstanding the belief of the Hig-
gins family.
According to the story told Higgins
was turning out the lights at the club
when the two young men objected
and finally gave him a severe beating.
He complained to the manager, Walter
j. Way, and later the two assailants
were expelled from the club member
ship
The coroner investigated the case.

not take any stock in the theory that
the brutal assault caused death, al
though it was admitted that it might
have hastened the end.

CARTER WILL
GIVE CONTROL
TO ATKINSON
Has Consented to Step Aside for the
Present and Let the Secretary
Take Formal Charge.

j will not permit him to take up the
cares of state. The Governor then
! writes to that effect to the Secretary
/ OF course if he is able-and the Secre-
| tary takes charge and informs the Sec
retary of the Interior of the COR
respondence under which he has act
ed And this will be the form observ-
ed in the present case. DR.. Judd does
not propose to permit his patient to
take up the cares of office right away.
He must, therefore, in order that the
Territory shall not be without a Gov
ernor, write a letter to Governor Car
ter certifying that the patient is not
able to take control. The Governor
must then write to Jack and the rest
follows. The Secretary will reach Ho-
nolulu on the steamer Alameda next
Friday, and it is probable that the
correspondence will be exchanged and
the formalities putting the Secretary
in charge as de facto governor be COM
piled with on that day, although 1t is
possible that the formalities may go
over until next Monday. The reasons
for immediate action, however, are
apparent.
The Governors absence will be in
definite, of course, and after the Sec
retary is "on the lid,'' and after the
Governor has recovered a little more
of his strength the matter of the long
sea voyage and the rest and change
of scene will be taken up. Proba bly,,
if a long absence from the United
States is contemplated, the Governor
viii have to secure permission from
Washington, in addition to the doctors
certificate.
However, as DIR. Judd has said, that
is a matter for future consideration
along with the proposed trip abroad
There can be no question that the
Governor will be urged to make such
a trip. Whether it will extend until
such time as Secretary Atkinson
comes of actual gubernatorial age, is
probably a matter for future consider
ation likewise. Present signs do not
point to the immediate resignation of
the Governor nor very strongly to his
takinc- control again.

SKATING On
MAUNA kEA
Lake Waiau Is Frozen
Solid and Ice Very
Slippery.

Eben Low, the manager of the HUI
muula sheep ranch on Hawaii, is il
town and has much of interest to tel
of a. recent trip uo the snow-covere6
slopes of Mauna Kea.
Lake Waiau the alleged fathom!ess
lake, $1,000 feet above sea level, was
found frozen, solid, the party cross
ing it on horseback. An attempt was
made to ascertain the thickness of the
ice but after getting down a couple
of feet the investigation was dropped.
Low says that he believes that his
party was the first to ever cross the
lake when frozen over The ice was
smooth and slippery enough to have
afforded excellent skating.
AS far as is known there are no
fish in the lake. 1t should, however,
prove an ideal place for trout.
The area of Lake Waiau is about two
and a half acres and its location is
one of absolute isolation and desola-
ton No trees grow near and there
is neither grass, herb or shrub on the
lakes margin. No game, furred or
feathered. is found near, and even in
summer. filmy ice covers the water.
The lake has never been sounded and
it's depth is unknown. Native tradi-
tion holds it to be bottomless.
Eben Low regrets that he didn't
make a hole through the ice in the
middle of the lake and take soundings.
