DESIRE TO ANNUL
CHAMOT'S MARRIAGE
Relatives of Chevalier Refuse to
Recognize Second Wife or
Deathbed Ceremony

The relatives of Cheyalier Chamot
are taking the preliminary steps in an
action to secure the annulment of the
deathbed marriage at Larkspur to
Elizabeth Dollar, said to have been a
nurse, who was made the noted ad-
venturers second wife a few days be-
fore he died Not only does the proud
Swiss family hesitate to recognize Mrs
Chamot, but they desire the ashes of
the dead traveller and soldier that they
may repose beside those of his father
and mother IN Switzerland. The pres
ent Mrs. Chamot has declined to give
up the remains of her husband.
Chamots relatives recognize that
they can not hope to contest the
widows right to the ashes of her hus-
band, and if they are not able to OBJ
tain them without strife they will not
renew their request. Later, however
they may institute proceedings to have
the marriage set aside on the ground
that the chevalier was near death,
weakened by lack of food and far
from his normal mind when the cere-
mony was performed.
Mrs. Chamot as Miss Dollar met Cha
mot and his first wife, who is now
Mrs. Gus Renstrom of this city, in New
York and accompanied them here She
became so friendly with the chevalier
that the former Mrs. Chamot obtained
a divorce.
Il am not at all connected with the
efforts the family of Mr.. Chamot are
making to recover his ashes," Mrs. Rem
strom, who was the first wife of the
chevalier. said yesterday.

relatives of my former husband 1t is

ALL THOUGHT Her
MIND WAS SOUND
Witness for Contestant of De
Laveaga Will Gives Evidence
Favorable for Proponents
Priests and Sisters of Catholic
Orders Believe That Testa-
trix Was Perfectly Sane


The proponents of the will of Maria
de Laveaga turned a neat trick in Judge
Coffey's court yesterday by drawing
from e. ]. lie Breton, witness called
to prove the insanity of the decedent,
much evidence of her soundness of
mind lie Breton admitted that he had
endeavored to collect from various peo-
pie evidence Of the unsound mental
condition of the maker of the will, and
that he considered Miguel de Laveaga,
the contestant, to whom only SS0s000
of the $4,000, 600 estate had been willed,
was the victim of a wrong.
ALL THOUGHT HER SANE
On cross examination by Attorney
Shortridge, LIE Breton was forced to tell
of five or six Catholic priests and sis
ters who had told him that Miss de
Laveaga was of sound mind. In the opin-
ion of the attorneys for Mrs. Cebrian,
who gets about 81, 900, 600 under the will.
this more than counterbalanced lie
Breton's own opinion of the insanity of
the decedent.
At the end of the days cross exam
ination, Shortridge, in an avowed en-
deavor to show lie Breton's bias and to
impeach his value as a witness, asked
him if he had not promised Father San
tandrou that his church, thes Guadalupe,
would receive $1,000 if the will were
broken.
What 1 did say" answered LIE Bre-
ton, was that even if the win were
broken Miguel de Laveaga would see
that his church would receive the $1,000
left it by the will for aims"
Wei, what did Father Santandrou
tell you about Miss de Laveaga's mental
condition.
He told me he believed she was per-
fectly competent to make WILL" ad-
'mitted the witness.
lie Breton testified that he told Sister
Clare, Sister Lucy and Sister Alicia that
he believes a great injustice had been
done Miguel de Laveaga by the will
of Maria, and asked them their opinion
of the mentality of the decedent. Each
said she thought Maria was of sound
mind.
He also interviewed Mrs Jenny, at
one time a teacher of Maria, but was
ly manner, he said. Mrs. Jenny ex-
pressed the opinion that her former
pupil was in her mind like anybody
else-no difference at ALL
He was next asked by Shortridge
about trip to Hayward to try to get
evidence from Father Viladomat The
priest said to him, however: Il think
Maria de Laveaga was competent to
make a Will and she had the right to
leave her property as she liked
ONE OF >HIS SURETIEs
lie Breton admitted that although he
believed Maria de Laveaga to be of un-
sound mind he had accepted her as his
surety for 100000 when he became re-
ceiver of the California safe deposit
and trust company
The witness said that for nine years
he and Miguel de Lavea ga were not on
speaking terms because of legacies
made by his lie Breton's) mother
About the. time the will contest started
however, Miguel came TO the office Of
the witness with his son, j. V. de La
veaga. and there was a reconciliation.

Sweigert. before whom the hearing was
held. The decision reinstates Dinan in
the department, with the rank of COR
poral He was instructed to report for
duty this morning at ] o'clock.
The charge against Dinan followed
the indictment for perjury returned
against him by the grand jury at the
beginning of the graft prosecution. The
complaint was made by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Francis J. Heney, who,
with Assistant District Attorney Robert
Harrison, appeared on behalf of the
prosecution. Dinan was represented by
Lewis f. Byington. During the hear
ing yesterday many heated words
passed between the attorneys, going
back to the time when Heney first de-
clared in a public speech that he would
put Abe Ruef in Jail and Attorney By
ington, who was then district attorney,
called him before the grand jury to as
certain what evidence of corruption he
had against Ruef
CAN NOT ENFORCE sUBPENA
The prosecution opened yesterday by
admitting that the police commission
ers had no power to compel witnesses
to appear before them. This point was
raised in the matter of Father Caraher.
who had not appeared, owing to sick
ness, to testify in the case. Charged
with not closing certain houses or i'll
fame in Pacific street when notified by
subordinate officers, Dinan claimed that

notify him of their existence, and he
had acted Immediately. The admission
of testimony given by Alfred Andrieu
against Dinan before the grand jury
was next discussed and found not ad-
missible.
Francis ]. Heney was called as wit
ness yesterday. His time on the wit
ness. stand was brief, the commission
ruling that he could only state the
jury.
IN HIS OWN BEHALF
Dinan then took the stand in his own
defense. testifying that he had closed
the houses in Pacific street as soon as
Father Caraher notified him they were
running. He admitted that subordinate
officers might have mentioned the
houses in their reports, but owing to
the conditions existing after the fire,
including the Siemsen and Dabner mur-
ders, he probably did not take partlcu-
lar notice of the reports
The commissioners were an hour and
81 minutes in returning q finding.

CAUSE OF
DECADENCE IN FICTION
Panorama of Life in Daily Print
UneQualed

There is much said nowadays about
the decadence of fiction; that the novel
writer is out of commission, the author
of romance is producing nothing that
lives beyond the first edition, but is
there not a palpable reason for 1T? 1t
stares one in the face daily from the
pages of the newspaper, says the Bos-
ton Herald. For behold there the cause
for the barrenness in literary inven-
ton. We are living romances. Moth
ing in the Imagination OF man can
equal the events, the situations. the
passions the crimes. the marvellous
phenomena Of life that are pictured
in daily print. Culture seizes upon
some classic and retires to the closet
as il it were a bone to be gnawed in
privacy. but the joy of reading a new
and great work OF the imagination has
departed Realism. the actual fact. out
does fiction every day. The mere story
book is tame stuff. compared with this
panorama passing before our eyes. Re-
action is bound TO come after the
novelty of this twentieth century whirl
is worn away, but the present genera
ti0ns are too engrossed to heed the
signs which they can not stop to read.

REJECTED FLORAL TRIBUTE
Matthews. who was the sole heir to
the half million dollar fortune amassed
by his mother, was the manager of
Harbin springs, which was her prop
erty. He died here Sunday morning
following a paralytic stroke at Harbin
Springs and Mrs. Suydam Immediately
attired herself in fun mourning and ex-
planned her action with the assertion
that she was his iancee. This morn
ing she sent a handsome floral wreath
to the Belt home, where the body was
lying. with the request that 1t be
placed upon the casket.
When the floral token sent by Mrs.
Suydam reached Mrs. Belts home the
latter refused to allow the messenger
bearing it to take 1t inside the house.
Instead, she ordered it returned to the
sender. The instruction was carried
out with the result that when Mrs.
Suydam learned of the rebuff she Gre
ated a scene that bordered upon the
hysterical making the unexplained
charge that Matthews death would
bear rigid investigation and asserting
that her enga cement to Matthews had
long been known to Mrs. Belt, and had
always been opposed by her.
Becoming alarmed at Mrs. SuyNlams
actions, and fearing developments at
the funeral which might result in
scandal, Mrs. Belt appealed to Chief
of Police Stanford to have Mrs. Suy-
dam restrained from going TO the
house or interfering with the last
rites. and also requested a guard to
see that her wishes in this respect
were complied with.
Mrs Suydam has claimed for some
time to have been engaged TO. Matthews
and the developments of the situation
today soon became property OF common
knowledge. So fast did the rumors of
the trouble circulate that by the time
the remains were taken from the house
to the hearse an immense throng had
gathered. confidently expecting to wit
ness a scene of some kind between the
two women The residences of Mrs.

BERLIN. Nov. 16-Fraulein Emma
Kroebel. a German who was chief mis-
tress of ceremonies at the court of the
emperor of Korea in 1905. appears as
author of book published today which
contains sections dealing with the visit
of Alice Roosevelt TO Korea in that
year.
In her account of the official recep-
tion to Miss Roosevelt she says:
The Korean emperor hastened to ex-
tend the hospitality of his establish
ment to distinguished American trav-
elers Acceptance of his majesty's in
vitation came with such astonishing
promptness that the court was in a
dilemma how to get a suitable welcome
ready in time.
The emperor finally decided TO be-
stow upon the daughter of the presi-
dent the highest honor at his COM
mand, namely, a reception at the side
of the grave of his departed consort,
the empress. An imposing suite of Dig
nitaries and funkeys was accordingly
dispatched to the grave in picturesque
and secluded spot one mile outside
Seoul with utensils for state banquet.
shortly after the suite arrived a
tornado of dust burst upon us, out Of
which a cavalcade of equestrisns
emerged At their head rode dashing
young horsewoman clad in "a scarlet
riding habit, beneath the lower ex-
tremities of which peeped tight fitting
red riding breeches. stuck into glitter
ing boots.
IN her hand she brandished riding
whip, in her mouth was a cigar 1t

gasted. We had expected different
sort of appearance. The Rough Riders
daughter seemed TO think it all joke.
She was mainly interested in the colos-
sal figures of gods and the mammoth
stone images of animals which watch
over the graves of departed rulers of
Koreans.
sighting stone elephant, Alice
hurled off her horse and in a fash
was astride the elephant, shouting to
Longworth to snapshot her. Our suite
was paraly3ed with horror and aston
ishment. Such sacrilegious scene was
without parallel in Korean history"
