SINGER DECORATED
BY TWO M0NARCHS
Madame BIauVeIt, American Prima
Donna, Presented with Valuable
Tokens by Old World
Rulers

Madame Blauvelt, the American
prima donna soprano who comes to
Simpsons auditorium Thursday even
ing of this week, can boast of more
decorations and medals from royalty
and from ancient musical societies of
the old world than probably any other
American singer.
Victoria and Queen Margherita of
Italy, but the honor that she most
prizes is the decoration conferred upon
her by the order of st. Cecilia.
This order is the oldest musical or
ganization in the world. The Royal
Academy of st. Cecilia was founded in
Rome in 1886. 1t is a limited order,
and in it's whole 31S years of existence
only eight persons have been honored
with it's decoration. Nine. Blauvelt is
the eighth person. She is the only
English speaking person and the only
woman who ever received the decora-
ton. When the decoration was con-
ferred upon her she also received the
honor of having her name engraved
upon the walls of the academy.
The decoration from Queen Mar
gherita was conferred upon her in 1893.
In that year Nine. Blauvelt went to
Rome to study the Italian language.
While there she heard that the So
prano who had been engaged to sing
the Manzoni requiem was taken i'll.
Volunteers Services
She volunteered her services, learned
the part in Latin in four days and ac-
Quilted herself with so much distinc-
ton that she attracted the attention of
the queen. After this event Queen
Margherita presented her with an au-
tographed photograph framed in Ro-
man parchment and the jeWeled me-
dallion.
Queen Victoria commanded Nine.
Blauvelt to appear before her at Buck
ingham palace in a state concert IN
June, 1899. This was followed by an
appearance before the queen at Wind
sor castle, after which her majesty
presented the American singer with a
beautiful jeweled locket.
Nine. Blauvelt has been one of the
most successful among the American
singers who sought fame in Europe
She has appeared in all the capitals
and in all the leading operas, new and
old. Aside from this she has made
several concert tours in America. AT
present she is making such tour from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Her con-
cert tour will end in May, as she has
been engaged to appear in opera at the
Royal Covent garden, London, in June
In the English capital she will appear
in the leading roles in Faust" "Ro-
meo and Juliet" Don Giovanni,
carmen" etc. She will appear ir
Chicago Sunday afternoon, April 5, a.
George Hamlin's popular concert a
the Grand opera house. Next autumn
she will make her sixth annual toul
of thirty concerts in the British isles

ASKS ACCOUNTING OF
GIRLS STEPPARENTS
Complaint Filled in Superior Court
Charges That Large Sum
Is Due Her Es-
tate

Albert Cappel. administrator of the
estate of Isabella CappeL yesterday
filed a complaint in the superior court,
asking for an accounting of the estate
from George zobelein and Brigida
ZobeIein, stepfather and mother re-
spectively of the deceased.
According to Cappels complaint, Isa-
bella Cappel and her mother owned in
common about 100 acres of land, which,
because of infirmities, the daughter was
unable to attend properly: she con-
the grantees agreeing to subdivide and
sell the property, paying share of the
proceeds to the daughter.
The property was subdivided into lots
and blocks, under the name of the
"Zoeblein Main Street tract" and sold.
except for one lot, which Cappel says
was given to him as administrator. He
says large sums of money are still due
him, and asks for q final accounting.

FEDERAL JUDGE UPHoLDS
STREET SWEEPING COMPANY

Upholding the contention of Gabor
Hegyi and the Hegyi Chemical COM
pany that they controlled two patents
on sweeping compounds which were
not infringements on the patent of the
Perolin company of Chicago, Judge
Wellborn yesterday denied the latter
firm a temporary injunction, thus per-
mitting the defendants to continue the
manufacture of it's compounds
The Perolin company claimed it was
the owner of a patent, assigned to it
by B. Singer of Chicago, but the de-
PENDANTS, through Attorney Frederick
S. Lyon, satisfied the court there was
no infringement.

COUNCIL LAYS OVER
PROSECUTORS JOBS
WILL TAKE UP NEW ORDINANCE
TODAY
Court Subpoenas Cut Session Short
and City Attorneys Recommends
tions Will Be Acted on
This Morning

Because the members of the city
&C uncil were needed in Judge Roses
court where the city's suit against the
dead animal contractor was pending
yesterday afternoons session was
al ridged and the lawmakers failed to
act on the ordinance providing for ap-
pointment of the police court prosecut-
ing attorneys.
AT the session of the legislature of
1907 an amendment to the law provid
ing for the establishment of the police
court of Los Angeles was passed which
provided that the prosecuting attorneys
of the court should be appointed by the
district attorney of the county and not
by the city attorney as had been the
case heretofore. The amendment also
changed the salary of the prosecuting
attorney of the court by increasing it,
The validity of the law, SO far as it
related to the appointment and pay
ment of salaries of the prosecuting at
tcrneys and clerk under the amend
ment became the subject of contro-
Versy in the courts.
The district attorney in May, 1907,
appointed the prosecuting attorneys
and clerk of the court and upon pre-
sentation of their first demands for
salaries payment was refused by the
city treasurer on the ground that they
did not constitute legal claims against
the city.
Court HuleS 'OtherWlse
The supreme court has by its de-
cision recently rendered in the case of
Fleming VS.. Hance decided that the
legislature has no power to provide for
the appointment of the prosecuting
attorneys of the police court by the
district attorney so far as their duties
pertain to the enforcement of the city
ordinances nor to charge the city
treasury with the payment of their
salaries while engaged therein. That
duty, under the city charter, devolves
upon the city attorney and cannot be
lodged elsewhere.
II therefore becomes necessary to
provide for the appointment of the
prosecutors of the police court and of
their clerk by ordinance in order that
the work of police courts may proceed
without interruption.
On this ground City Attorney Leslie
r. Hewitt will today submit draft of
an ordinance providing for the ap-
pointment of four prosecuting attorneys
of the police court and for a clerk and
stenographer to assist them.
| After this act has been passed the
appointments will be announced and
talk still points to the choice resting
between Messrs. Joseph Ford and Guy
Eddie, who have served as assistants
to E. ]. Fleming as long as the latter
held office.

A we'll fitting shirt which does not
"ride up in the back nor construct the

rare combination of virtues, however,
is not often encountered in the shop

no other, most house mothers prefer to
make such garments with their own
hands. An excellent model for a mans

Messrs. White & Son have shown that
Gibbs was not their agent but that
