Rine' system no one outslde OF the Mayor

WON'T LET MARCHESA LAND.
she Follows Over q Man VINO Himself
Wss Held Up at'Ellis Island.

A petite young Parisienne whose bag
gage was decorated with crests arrived
several days ago by the steamship Themi-
stooles from the Mediterranean. She was
q cabin passenger and had shipped at
Algiers.
The immigration bureau got tip that
the young woman was not OF the sort that
the United States Welcomes and she was
held up by the boarding officers from Ellis
Island as an undesirable alien. She said
she was the .Marohesa' do Reymonde
and that her husband. a physician and a
distinguished British subject, although
Russian born. was In this city waiting
for her.
That seemed plausible, as there was q
man calling himself Eduardo de Ray
monde. but claiming no title Of nobility,
who was also held up at Ella I.lend several
weeks ago after arriving by tho White
Star liner Oceanic He proved that he
was capable Of supporting himself and
was permitted to land. He also was q
cabin passenger.
The young woman, who had some
baggage that was without decorations
and was marked plainly Madeleine de
Espernoy.' got word to the man she de-
elarcd was her husband and he came over
to the island and swore to II. The aver
ment had little effect on the board Of spe-
oial inquiry that has been considering the
case Of the young woman.
1t was decided that unless there are
more proofs produced to-day that the
young woman is what she says she is
she will have to 60 back to Algiers

woman's husband gave his city address

TO PROVIDE PULLMANS AT
SANTA MONICA FOR ELKS
Booster Committee Plans to Shelter
Visitors in Three Hundred
Cars

SANTA MONICA, April 23.-The local
booster" committee of the Elks' lodge
met at the club house last evening and
discussed ways and means of entertain
ing their visiting brethren during the
coming convention to be held in July
Manager Sherman of the Los An
geles- Pacific railroad was present and
stated that it was up to his road TO
provide the 300 Pullman cars that the
committee are arranging to line the
beach from the canyon on the north
to Playa del Rey on the south.
The idea is to bring the cars through
from the various railroads entering
Los Angeles and to use them to relieve
the crowded hotels and lodging houses
in providing quarters for the visitors.
The company will allow the use of its
side tracks as standing room for the
coaches, and the local committee will
see to it that they are supplied with
conveniences.
1t is the intention of the committee
to promote a preliminary automobile
race to take place on the official course
selected by the dealers race later in
the month.
Other plans for the entertainment of
the visiting Elks is an immense bar
becue with tables extending along the
entire ocean front and various excur-
sions by auto and trolley until every
part of the city has been visited by the
guests.

DEMURRER OVERRULED
DEPUTIES ARE HAPPY
Feel Assured They Will Win Man.
damus Suit to Compel Payment
of Higher Salaries for
Field Work

SANTA ANA, April 23.-Demurrer to
the complaint in the mandamus suit
brought by John T. Kelenberger TO
comped County Auditor Lester to issue
a warrant for additional salary as as
SCISSORS field deputy was overruled this
morning by Superior Judge Frank S.
Densmore, sitting for Judge West.
Heretofore the assessors field depu-
ties have been paid 500 a month, but
the last legislature allowed such Of
ficers $3.50 a month. There are seven
field deputies employed by Assessor
Scott, and when the time came to col
lect their salary the demand for the
addition was refused by County Aud
itor Lester on the advice of the district
attorney.
The deputies drew lots to see who
should bring suit and the lot fell on
Kellenberger. 1t was stipulated, how
ever, that in case his claim was sus-
tanned there would be no demur to pay
ing the other six deputies. The de-
murrer to the complaint was based on
the ground that the salary OF an Of
fetal cannot be raised during his in
cumbency, and the decision this morn
ing overruling the demurrer practically
settles the matter.
