Supervisor Charles BoxtOn at a recent
banquet of National Parlor of the Ma
tive Sons broke the rule that was laid
politics SHOULD not enter into any OF the
social or public functions OF the or
ganizatiOn. BoxtOn dehed precedent
and engaged In defense of the city
administration He Is sorry now. The
Supervisors speech has created wide
comment smong members of the order.
Politics and the Native Sons havs
fought the theoretical battle of divorce
for years, but Supervisor Charles Box
ton. who objects to public intsrferencs
in family affairs of the United Super
visors. has seen fit to undo a precedent
and introduce supervisorial domestic
difficulties into banquet of the men,
bers of National Parlor. The fraternity
in consequence huns with the hot
words Of Boxton. which were poured
out at the Old Poodle Dog restaurant
on the occasion OF a feast and ratified
like hail against the unprepared de-
fenses of the entire Native Sons aggre-
cation.
Boxton transgressed. It is not thought
red nor that he swallowed all that was
white and golden. But It Is known that
the peace Of mind. goodwill toward all
men and jolly good fellowship Of the
feast were disturbed by the Boxton po-
llitical potshots to such an extent that
every Native Son says Hush" and Let
lit go at that"
National Parlor is famous for its an
nuaI dinners It is an organization OF
the great order that has particularly
prided itself upon being conducted
strictly in the interest of San Francisco
and California. with no political lines
leading to the driving hands Of bosses
and no nosebag that is filed from the
public crib. 1t is independent. non
political and fearless and has discour-
aged all reference at its banquets to
anything that savors OF political ex-
plantations. political bombast or political
job-chasing.
When Boxton got up at the banquet
to speak and made a pro-administratton
speech. spiced with reference TO the
'insolence OF citizens who pay taxes
and have the nerve to try to find out
where the money goes. he undoubtedly
followed the dictates OF "one on the
band wagon"
The Supervisor was called by the
toastmaster. Rising like d Phoenix from
the ashes Of two-bit cigar he spread
his wings OF oratory and few with this
toward the guests:
Gentlemen. this is an occasion that
I have longed for. I want to say that
the Supervisors OF this administration
have been maligned by the public and
the press; that the administration is

OAKLAND. Jan. 2s.-The bodies of

abeth Turpin, whose home was at 1852
Regent street, Alameda were found
this afternoon on lonely hillside at
Leona Heights in Fruitvale A bullet
hole in the head OF each revealed the
cause OF death. The location of the
wounds indicates that Turpin had
killed his sister and then taken his own
life. The woman had been shot in
the left side OF the head. above and
back OF the ear, while the bullet that
ended Turpin's life had entered the
right temple just in front of the car
The bodies were discovered by Hugh

ting it TO the bone, and prevented the
explosion of the cartridge The next
shot. however. struck the. woman in
the head. causing instant death Turpin
then turned the weapon on himself.
The condition of the bodies indicates
that Turpin and his sister had been
dead for some time-probably about
forty-eight hours. The spot at which
they were found is far off the road and
the sound of the shots could not have
been heard by any one passing at the
time. It is believed that Turpin com
mitted his double crime either on
Thursday afternoon or early Friday
morning. The clothing Of both bodies
was drenched by the rain of Friday
night.
Turpin and his sister. who had lived
for many years in Alameda, disap-
peared last Tuesday from the home of
Captain J. A. Durkee, at 1882 Regent
street They have been living there
three weeks. When they failed TO re-
turn to the Durkee home on Tuesday
evening, search was begun for them,
but without success until their bodies
were found today. Captain J. c. jamie

LEAVE VALUABLE ESTATE

When they returned to Alameda they
Invested the greater part of their
money in large fourfiat building in
Park avenue, near Central, that is al
most completed. The building and site
represent an outlay of nearly $4,000.
The work on the structure was done
by day labor and Turpin was constant
ly on hand to direct the workmen. He
had disputes with them about wages
and with material men about prices.
The fear that the project would not
be a paying venture preyed on the
mind of Turpin and also caused his
sister to imagine that the money they
had put into the undertaking would be
lost.
On Monday evening Miss Turpin dis
appeared from the Durkee home and
Tuesday Turpin told George Foutch, a
carpenter. that he was going to San
Francisco to purchase mantels for the
fats. That was the last seen of Tur-
pin in Alameda The Turpins were each
between 40 and 80 years of age.

Captain Jameson said that Turpin
and HIS sister had for many years lived
a hermit life and that 1t was thought
by many who knew them that they
were slightly demented. Jameson said
that on several occasions Miss Turpin
had declared that she would commit
suicide, and that her brother had re-
buked her for wishing to end her life.
Captain Jameson could furnish no clew
as to the cause of the tragedy.
So far as is known Turpin and his
sister leave no relatives in this part of
the country. nor have they any near
relatives living who are known to their
friends.
The Turpins lived for twenty-one
years on Bay Farm Island. where they
had a farm that was originally owned
by their parents. who died many years
ago. The sister and brother appar-
emily were much attached to each other
and made no friends, They lived the
lives OF recluses and visited town only
for provisions and mail. Neither
