When one of the large ocean liners

sarv All efforts to have Miss Louden
come to san Francisco yesterday and
claim the property and letter sealed and
addressed TO her were without avail.
She at first declared she would come,
but later the excitement proved too
much for her and she changed her
mind.
Gift From Helen Gould
While in the navy Nixon received
an autograph copy Of volume of ser
mons from Miss Helen NJ. Gould The
inscription on the fiyleat reads:
We rejoice that you have chosen our
Lord Jesus Christ as your captain, and
am sending you this book in the hope
that il may be helpful TO you In your
Christian life.
HELEN MILLER GOULD.
The volume was given to him when
he ioined the naval Y. NJ. c. A. The
letters from Miss Sophie B. Wright,
principal Of the Home institute in New
Orleans. showed that between the two
was a deep affection. The tone OF her
letters showed that she was much Older
than him, and almost every letter
thanked Nixon for some gift or kind
ness The mans trunk was full OF
photographs gathered from all parts of
the world, but there was only one
name.
Miss Louden is expected to open her
letter at the coroners Office today.
II is thought, however, that it will be
a repetition of what Nixon wrote to her
before.
Nixons father in New Orleans on be-
ing notified Of his sons death wired TO
his son in Berkeley asking him to have
the body buried here, the dispatch be-
ing received late in the evening.

THE ALASKAN"
The Celebrated Comic Opera Comes to
the Grand Theater Next Fri
day Night.

The Alaskan" one of the most
convincing comic operas that has
graced the stage for many seasons
and one that was last year accorded
tremendous success throughout the
entire country will be seen at the
Grand on Friday, January s, when
it will be given by John COrt's splen
did organization of principals and his
famous beauty chorus. This opera by
Joseph Blethen, Max Figman. and
Harry Girard has easily earned the
distinction of being strictly Origina,
from both the composers as well as
the authors standpoint, for certainly
it possesses far more logical dram
attic conditions than are written in
musical presentations of the present
day while the music which is at all
times bright and catchy is of tune
full yet high order.
UnquestiOnably it's success of last
year was we'll earned and for it's sec
ond season, while there have been
changes made in the cast and new
faces are to be seen in the chorus
still many of those who scored before
are retained, among them being Ed
ward Martindell, the Totem Pole
Pete of last year, whose rendition
of that splendid number My Totem
Pole" was one of the great hits of
the oprea.
The business done by John COrt S
musical success. The Alaskan so
far this season, easily proves the
high standing of this attraction in
the opinion of music loving people.
All who witnessed the opera last
year easily remembered its tuneful
numbers, as we'll as its beautiful
scenic and costume outlay, and the
announcement is made that for this
year there have been any number of
new features added. The cast has
been materially changed. but amoung
the principals of last season will be
seen Edward Martindel, who again
enacts Totem Pole Pete in which
part he made tremendous success.
