MUSICIANS MARRIED;
FRIENDS SURPRISED
OTIE CHEW AND ,THlLO BECKER
RUN AWAY
Quietly Welded at Riverside Though
Engagement Had Been AM
nounced-Other News of
Society's WhirI

Although their engagement has been
known for months and an unannounccd
wedding looked for at any time by their
friends in musical and artistic circles,
Miss Otie Chew and Herr Thilo Becker
surprised everybody by being married
Thursday at Riverside.
The wedding was the quietest possible,
with no attendants and but few wit
nesses Miss Chew and Mr.. Becker went
to the Calvary Presbyterian church In
the evening, where Rev. Alexander Eaton
performed the ceremony. Miss Grace
Van zolenburg played the wedding
music.
The marriage of Miss Chew and Mr..
Becker unites two of the leading musi-
clans in Southern California.
Mr.. Becker has long established rep
utation both in this country and Europe
as a pianist of the first rank. He is
one of the few instructors in America
whose pupils can be sure of acceptance
| by the German masters when they &c
abroad for finishing. His rare appear
ances in concerts are always the occa-
sions for large audience of music
llovers Some of his pupils have become
noted instructors, and two child Won
ders, Olga Steeb and Gertrude Cohen,
studied under him. His bride is equally
as gifted as a violiniste, and has a
brilliant record as a concert performer
in Europe and America. Joachim, Emil
Sauret and Ysaye have praised her tai
ents highly.
Mrs. Becker comes from England, and
since her arrival in Los Angeles has
been as much sought for her charm OF
person as on account of her distinction
as an artist.
Mr. and Mrs. Becker will remain at
the Glenwood, Riverside, for short
time before returning to Los Angeles.

CLIFFORD PLNCHOT,
FORESTER, ARRIVES
GOVERNMENT EXPERT PLEASED
WITH PROGRESS
With Professor Tourney He Leaves
Today on Inspecting Trip-To
Confer with Supervisors
Tuesday

Clifford Pinchot, chief of the forestry
division of the department of agricul-
ture, arrived in Los Angeles yesterday
from Portland, Oregon, and is staying at
the Hollenbeck. He comes to make an
inspection of the government forest pre-
serves in the southern part of California,
together with Professor j. w. Tourney
of Yale college, who has been here for
several days.
"I am greatly impressed with the
state of forestry work in Southern Cali
fornia," said Pinchot yesterday.
1.-The development of forests in the
Sacramento, San Gabriel and San Joa-
quin valleys is of inestimable value to
the state and to the entire country. In
two ways are the forests especially inn
portant: First, the conservation of the
watersheds and the water, and next, the
immense value of the timber to the
-ranchers and the inhabitants of the
great valleys.
Another matter of great importance
to the people of California is the sys-
tematized method of preventing forest
fires. The progress in this direction has
been wonderful. and as soon as the few
simple rules become generally known
forest fires should be matters of history
only.
1--WE are perfecting system of trails
and telephones and organizing all avail
able men for the purpose of fighting
fires. The great danger lies, not with
the inevitable small fires, but in the
quick spreading of several of them.
zone other item, which consider just
as important as the whole system of tree
planting at present followed by the gov
ernment, is that of reforestization
There are large tracts of ground that
should be covered with standing timber,
but are not, because the ground cannot
reseed itself.
''That work is occupying a great deal
of our time just now, and the benefits
of judicious reseeding will be seen before
very long. The inhabitants of the val
leys are becoming more dependent on
the timber in the forest preserves, and
on every hand we hear nothing but ap-
probation"
Pinchot and Professor Tourney will
leave this morning on three days tour
of inspection of the several reservations
in Southern California. They will re-
turn in time to attend conference with
the supervisors next Tuesday, going to
Sacramento Immediately after the con-
ference to attend the National Irrigation
congress, which meets there next month.

BIG INTERESTS TO
OPPOSE LICENSES
THINK OFFICE BUILDING TAX is
ILLEGAL
ownersoFiIe Protest with City Council
Alleging It Is Double Taxation
and Not Authorized by
Law

Owners of buildings containing more
than thirty rooms each have filed pro-
test with the city council asking the re-
peal of section 81 of the license ordinances,
amended August q, 1905, which reads:
For every person, firm or corporation
obtaining. managing or conducting a
building for the purpose of letting Of
flee rooms or store rooms, the follow
ing license: For every building con-
tanning more than thirty rooms, 81 for
each office room and So per year for
each store room contained In said
building.
This ordinance, with respect to said
license, has never been enforced, the
owners state.
Recently their attention has been called
to the same by the city auditor with de-
mand for payment of arrearages alleged
dinance.
They have sought legal advice upon the
subject and are informed and believe that
the same is illegal.
They further represent that the imposi-
ton of such a tax is, in their opinion
unjust in that 1t is in the nature OF
double taxation, inasmuch as they pay
heavy taxes not only to the city of Los
Angeles but to the county and state as
We'll on Ine VdTlOuS DuilulHSS oWhcu w
them and threatened by this license or
dinance.
In their opinion the ordinance is also
discriminating and invading a natural anc
inherent right existing independent ol
state authority to manage and enjoy theii
property
They have at all times been willing tc
pay just and proper taxes upon Their
property, they state, but believe that the
imposition of this license tax is an un'
necessary and improper burden and one
not authorized by law.
They therefore ask that the same ant
all parts of the license ordinance in con-
f1ict be repealed.

Good Partisan Charity.

At certain places about the most
crowded quarters Of Paris one may
notice, at meal times, scores of poorly
clad women, with infants in their
arms, entering what appear to be
small eating houses. They are eating
places, and they are maintained by
public charity expressly for INDECENT
mothers.
Seven such places are scattered
through the poorer sections Of the
city. Last year they furnished 81
600 meals to mothers who otherwise
would doubtless have Jared sadly for
nutritious food for themselves and
their offspring

Hindu 4Life Stone"

When a Hindu is cremated in west
sern India one of the mourners picks
up stone near the place of crema-
ton, known as the life stone" which
is supposed to be a refuge for the
ghost, and to which food is offered,
The pyre is prepared and the corpse
is laid on it, with its head facing the
Himalayas, Butter is dropped into the
mouth, eyes, nose and ears, and balls
Of -four are placed around. When all
is ready the chief monrner walks
around the pyre in the course of the
sun and sets fire to it. When the
skull bursts the mourner pours water
upon it to cool the ghost. The final act
is the collection of the bone frag-
ments, which is usually done on the
fourth day. The Hindu believes that
when the soul leaves the body it as
sumes the shape of a manikin, expos
ed to injuries of all kinds. In order to
protect it, it is necessary to furnish
it with a sort of intermediate body,
interposed, as it were, between the
gross body which has been destroy
ed by fire and the new body, which,
under the law Of metempsychosis, 1t
will by and by assume. If 1t be not
furnished with this intermediate body
It wAl wander about In the form Of a
preta, or evil spirit.

MANY eoATsllN EUROPE.
Thelrg Milk Is There Considered a
Valuable Product

A quarter of a century ago there
were on the continent of Europe, it is
said, 17000,000 goats, the goats in
Switzerland and Norway being in the
ratio Of one to every IA and 16 inhab-
itants Since then the keeping Of
goats, whose milk is considered a val
euable product, has very generally in
creased though no exact returns on
the subject have been made even In
England, where the agricultural cen
sus makes no mention of them Swiss
goatkeepers have long had the en-
couragement of the state to develop
the milking powers of the flocks to
the utmost degree, ~and in France,
also, intelligent interest is being
taken in Bookkeeping. The member
ship of the Goat society Is growing,
and the exhibits of goats at dairy and
agricultural shows nowadays is quite
imposing. The use of milk from "the
poor mans cow by the children of
the poorer classes is said to have
excellent effects from hygienic point
of view, and fol. that reason philan-
thropists recommend it's employment
as an article of diet.
