AWAY THEY CO
TO FAIR HAWAII
Young Real Estate Man and Brokers
Stenographer Surprise All Ex-
cept Their Parents by
Their Marriage

A romance begun in the commonplace
surroundings of a brokerage office
found the beginning of happy sequel
yesterday when the bride and BRIDE
groom left for a years honeymoon In
Hawaii
The principals in the little plot are
Byron T. Hamilton, of the real estate
firm of Grider 81 Hamilton, and Miss
Jessie Booth, formerly stenographer
in the Office of the Lichtenberger-C Car
ter Brokerage company.
When the young business man first
entered the Lichtenberger office and
saw the young woman at the machine
he forgot all about sales and commits
sions. In spite of his waning interest
in affairs of stocks and bonds the young
man found lots Of business to transact
at the brokerage office and love amid
the tape and tickers throVe as beauti-
fully as among a bower of roses.
Mr.. Hamilton's infatuation for the
young woman was not generally known,
and no announcement of the engage
ment was made. Yesterday when the
pair left on the Owl for San Francisco,
thence to sail for the southern seas, the
friends of both were taken entirely by
surprise. Miss Booths mother, who is
Mrs. W. Il. Sayers, was let into the
secret, as well as Mr., Hamiltons pa
rents, who live at 1923 Hope street.
The young woman announced to her
employers that she needed q rest and
intended to leave them for a while
She is a stenographer OF more than
ordinary worth and Mr.. Lichtenberger
was not at all pleased at the prospect
of losing her services, even temporarily

DEATH RECALLS STORY
OF "THE LOST HEIR"
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.--In the morgue
of the Kings county hospital at Flat
bush lies the body of an old man who
called himself Roger Charles ITCH
borne and claimed to be Sir Roger, ITCH
borne, "the lost heir" of the Tichborne
estates in England. He died Monday Of
apoplexy.
In appearance he was tall and dis
tinguished, with a massive head, gray
eyes and silvery white mustache and
side whiskers. To one of the hospital
officers he said that he filed a claim to
the Tichborne estates in England twen-
ty-five years ago, but had lost at sea
his papers which would prove his de-
scent, and had given up hope of ever
establishing his rights.
The old mans story was that he was
the eldest son of Sir James Francis
Tichborne and was born in Paris, Jan
uary g 1907. He roved the seas for
years and then when he tried to estab-
lish himself as the lost heir his claim
was repudiated.
The old mans story differs from the
regularly accepted story of 1.-The lost
heir" The young man whom the Itch
bornes claimed as the son was supposed
to have sailed from Rio de Janeiro
April 90 1854, in the Bella, which was
lost at sea. In his last sickness he asked
that his son, Charles Tichborne of San
Diego, Cal, be notified when his death
occurred

BERKELEY PUTS
UP HARD FIGHT
Determined Effort Mads at Sacramento
to obtain Legislation Looking
Toward the Removal Of
the Capital
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO. Feb. 27.-Although
the movement to remove the capital
from Sacramento to Berkeley is less
than two weeks old, it is being pressed
with such vigor that the question will
come up in the legislature tomorrow for
action.
Both the senate and the assembly
committee on public buildings and
grounds held a special meeting at noon
today and in the afternoon reported
favorably in both houses on the bill
submitting to the people the question
of moving the capital to the university
town and recommended that it be
passed.
In order to hasten action on the bill
in the senate it was Immediately read
the second time on motion of Senator
Lukens and placed upon the third
reading file.
This will bring it before the upper
house for passage tomorrow.
The senate committee stood to 9,
Senator Mckee of Sacramento and
Senator Welch of San Francisco voting
against reporting the bill favorably.
Welch wanted to amend the bill by
substituting San Francisco for Berke-
ley. The assembly committee took q
secret ballot and the vote stood 6 to 8.
OF the three who voted against re-
porting the bill favorably, two are said
to be Chandler and Costar. Chairman
Pyle of Santa Barbara, while person.
ally opposed to moving the capital,
voted in favor Of the bill because of the
wishes of his constituents who have
sent him many kilograms to support
the bill. Indications today are that
while there may be a hard fight made
against it, the bill will probably pass
both houses.
