Cemetery

In the presence of a large gathering,
which included Mayor Taylor and the
city officials, funeral services were
read over the remains of Newton ].
Tharp. the late city architect, in Grace
Episcopal church, yesterday afternoon.
Besides the officials there were pres
ent many of his old friends from the
Bohemian club and from among the
ranks of his profession, who COM
pletely filled the church and, by their
numbers. gave evident indication of the
esteem in which Tharp had been held.
The funeral grafton, delivered by
Rev. David Evans, the rector of the
church. was extremely brief
HE shall be remembered as a man
by his virtues and his characteristics
said the speaker, and as a laborer
and workman by the material monu-
ments of his profession.
The services opened with the play
ing of MendeIssohn's Funeral March"
by H. j. Stewart. the church organist.
The Bohemian club quartet sang. Lead

The urn containing the ashes was
surrounded by wealth of flowers,

classmates of Laurence Tharp. At the
conclusion of the services the ashes
were removed to their final resting
place in the columbarium at Odd Fell

Oppose Change of Name
A petition backed by more than 700
residents of the vicinity OF. the new
Spring Valley grammar school, to be
located in Broadway between Polk and
Larkin streets. filed with the board OF
education protests against the pro-
posed change of name in honor of the
late Newton j. Tharp. In so protest
ing the petition urges, no dispara ge-
ment is intended of the abilities of the
late city architect but the ground OF
the request is the sentimental signifi
canoe of the name.
I'VE feel that in this age of icono-
clasm that too little attention is PAID
to the associations and memories OF
the past" recites the petition to the
board. I'VE feel that it would be an
act of dissertation to change the name
of the old school from that of Spring
Valley to Newton J. Tharp or any other
name whatsoever.

tee consisting of William NJ Curry

WEALTHY WOMAN IN
T[RROROf HUSBAND
Mrs. Adelina Cancin0 Declares
Life Menaced and Asks Pro-
lection OF Court
Leader in Local Italian Society
Seeks Divorce ON Ground
OF Cruelty

The wealthy Mrs. Adelina Caucino.
a leader in local Italian society and
who was the widow of Egisto c. Pal
mieri, one of San Francisco's foremost
businessmen and bankers, has sought
refuge in the divorce court. Against
Joseph Caucino, her second husband,
she makes many accusations of cruelty.
Mrs Caucino says she is afraid her
huband will kill her. Even the fact
that the court has granted restraining
order preventing Caucino from enter
ing the home at $50 Union street and
enjoining upon him that he must leave
his wife in peace there, does not give
her sufficient courage to enter the
house. For the last week she has been
living in another part of the city with
relatives.
WOMAN is WELL OFF
Mrs Caucino is believed to be worth
between $50 900 and $4,000, inherited
from her first husband. Caucino is
not wealthy. Apart from what his
wife has allowed him he is not known
to possess anything. Before he mar
ried her, in August, 1905, he was a
teacher of languages. Part of the time
since the marriage he has been en-
ployed by relatives of Mrs. Caucino.
Mrs. Caucino complains even more
bitterly of aspersions cast by Caucino
upon her first husband than of his
personal violence to her. In her COM
plant she relates that he called Pal
mieri a thief. When she demonstrated
with him because of this indignity to
the memory of a dead man, Caucino
is alleged to have become Infatuated
and to have destroyed the picture of
his predecessor. The incident did not
end here. Immediately afterward eau
cino procured a large knife 1t is
charged and threatened his wife. In
order to save her life Mrs. Caucino
escaped and took refuge with neigh
bors. This took place in September,
1907.
THREATENED WITH DEATH
Another threat to kill his wife with
a knife was made by the professor
of languages in April of this year, the
complaint states That he has fire.
quently thrown bottles, dishes and
glasses at his wife, and all this with
out provocation, is another allegation
made by Mrs. iCaucino.
There is no community property,
Mrs Caucino sets forth in her COM
plant The house in which they lived
at 953 Union street is her separate
property sullivan & Sullivan and
Theodore j. Roche are the attorneys
for Mrs. Caucino.

COUNCIL VOTES MONEY FOR
INVESTIGATION WHICH HAS
BEEN MADE ALREADY.

Is II anything to defeat the
gravity water system with the city
administration? That is what the
gravity advocates are charging.
When the present officials
came in they declared the wells
should have fair show, and If
they did not make good, then
work on the gravity system would
be started. Thousands of dollars
have been spent on the wells, but
the people still complain for lack
of water. Now Commissioner
McGregor has new scheme. Last
night he got $1,000 from the coun-
ell to go 10 miles out in the coun-
try and scratch around Clover
creek springs to see IL he cannot
coax more water out of them.
The city has already paid to get
the information, and 1t is in the
clerks office. but 1t does not suit
the administration. 1t shows that
the springs only give 100000 in
dry years. Councilman Bell in
sisted that the council, when he
was in before, had secured all
that data. McGregor said he knew
nothing of it. Clerk Roys has
the record, and he declares he
himself has told McGregor the
p facts, but the commissioner last
night denied that the investigation
