TO REST IN FOREIGN SOIL
Body of r. Marion Crawford Inferred
at Sorrento with Simple
Ceremony

SORRENTO, April 12-The funeral
of F. Marion Crawford. the American
novelist, took place today. The cere-
monies were exceedingly simple. The
little town of San Angelic was filed
with well-known persons from Rome,
Naples, Capri, Sorrento and Florence
who had come to pay a last loving
tribute to the memory of the dead au-
thor.
The public buildings of Sorrento, as
we'll as many private houses, displayed
flags at half mast.
Mr.. Crawford's body, enclosed in a
double coffin bearing outside his name
in golden letters, was carried from the
Villa Crawford to the Capuchin church
by sailors from his yacht, the ALA.
A beautiful marble figure represent
ing Mercy has been placed on the top
of the grave.
The funeral cortege numbered near
ly 1000 persons, and included the rela-
tives of the author, the mayor of San
Angelo, representatives of all the COM
munes of Sorrento and a large gather
ing of workmen.
Crowds of people filled the streets to
see the procession pass.

MOST OF COMMISSIONERS OBJ
JECT TO FORTUNE TELLERS
Cherokee Indian, Mother of Twenty
one Children, All Alive, Applies
for Permit TO Trade in
Occult Sciences

The present city government promises
to be an obdurate ADMINISTRATION for
fortune telers, mediums and others
who trade in occult sciences, if the
action of the police commission yester-
day is any standard of judging.
The application presented by Mary
Lehan for fortune teller's permit for
herself and two daughters was consid-
cred by the commission, and after few
minutes elaboration Commissioner S.
c. Graham moved the permits be de-
MED. This seemed to be the attitude
of most of the commissioners. but
Commissioner d. K. Trask declared If
1t was to be the policy of the board to
grant permits sof this nature to any
people in this calling he believed this
woman should not be made an excep-
ton.
Mayor Alexander declared he was OPP
posed to the profession because he did
not believe patrons of fortune
tellers obtained value received.
Trask declared if there were people
who wanted to spend their money in
that way they should be- permitted to
do so. At Commissioner Trask's sug
gestion the matter was laid over until
the special meeting of the commission,
to be held Thursday night.
The applicant for the permit is
Cherokee Indian and the mother of
twenty-one children, all of whom are
alive. Her youngest child is about
years old. In spite of her years and
her many maternal cares the woman
looks young and really is handsome
type of her race.

LAWS OF INTERMARRIAGE
EXPLAINED BY DIPLOMAT
Wedding of American Girl and Italian
Nobleman as Valid in Italy
as Here

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Much
speculation has arisen over the iden-
tity of the parties concerned in a dip
lomatic correspondence between the
American and italian governments in
1906 in regard to the Italian marriage
laws.
This correspondence was published
today, but further than stating that
the young woman was the daughter
of an American of unquestioned stand
ing in the community and the Italian
was a nobleman, no other clews are
given as to the identity of the parties.
Nothing is included to show what
success the government had in the role
of Cupid.
The correspondence began January
"a, 1906, when Acting Secretary Of
State Bacon sent a letter to the Ital-
ian embassy in this city asking for
a statement concerning the Italian law
on marriages.
THE department has been asked by
an American whose daughter is about
to marry an Italian nobleman," wrote
Mr.. Bacon, "as to the legal effect of
the certification by an Italian consular
agent in the United States of an Amer
lean marriage, and whether or not the
marriage certified is in all respects
exactly equivalent, according to Ital
ian law, to a marriage celebrated in
Italy,
The reply was to the effect that a
marriage solemnized in America be-
tween an Italian subject and an
American citizen is absolutely valid in
Italy providing the forms and local
law have been complied with.
The department was informed that
the laws of Italy made no distinction
between noblemen and the common
peolpe in the right of marriage in a
foreign jurisdiction
1.-The right of entail has been abol-
ished and nobiliary titles confer no
privilege" continued the reply, mot
even that of precedence at court or at
any public function. Titles of nobility
are nevertheless still recognized and
the non noblewoman who marries a
nobleman has the right to bear her
husbands title"

Neither DR.. Haynes nor Mayor Alex
ander will deny that DR.. Haynes has
been offered the position, but the doctor
says he has found it such a rest to
have no public cares, since his term
expired on the civil service board, that
it is with difficulty he can be persuaded
to take the place.
w. D. Newell. who is succeeded by
DR.. Chambers, is the only member of
any of the commissions, of which the
mayor is chairman, who did not re-
sign when Mayor Alexander took Of

At the last meeting Of the health
board Mr.. Newell occupied his usual
seat and after the meeting the mayor
called him aside and notified him his
resignation would be acceptable. Mr..
Newell did not resign, but this was
no handicap to the mayor. With all
the other commissioners. Newell's term

charter says specifically a commits

until his successor is appointed and

GETS JUDGMENT OF S11,728.12
FROM CITY
judge Finds That Assessor Used
Method Different from Usual in
Determining Value of Con-
Germs Property

Judge Walter Bordwell of the SUI
perior court handed down a decision
yesterday awarding the Los Angeles
Gas and Electric company 11.72S.12, a
portion of the taxes paid to the city
November 26, 1906, and which portion
the gas company alleged was illegally
assessed against its property.
The gas company alleged that the
assessor Disseminated against it, ac-
tuated by malice and vindictiveness'
and that he adopted plan OF valu1ng
it's property for assessment purposes
which varied from the method used In
regard to other taxpayers. The court
found that no discrimination actuated
by malice and vindictive motives hao
been used, but it held that the assessor
had used a method in arriving at the
assessment of the gas company diner
ent from that used in other cases.
In determining the assessment or the
gas company the assessor used the
'rate-making statement" returned by
the gas company as public utility cor
poration to the city in January, 1906.
The 81, 728.12 ordered returned by the
city to the gas company represents the
entire sum which the gas company
sought to recover.

of the society regular policemen with

represents that under the new state

matter of greater convenience if they
were made members of the regular
police force.
Some of the police commissioners be-
lieve that any one not regularly en-
ployed as a police officer cannot hold
such a position and the matter was
referred to the city attorney for his
opinion. Action will be taken on this

AGAINST CHIEF OF POLICE
Health Department Alleges Smoke
Ordinance Is Violated at City
Jail Almost Daily

The smoke ordinance is violated at
the city Jail almost every day and the
health department has threatened to
swear out a warrant against the chief
of police unless something is done to
abate the nuisance.
The chief reported this matter to the
police commission yesterday. He said
that the boiler in the Jail is too small
for the building. Recently, he de-
clared, repairs costing $500 were made,
but they have not had the desired eff
feet and now the smoke nuisance is
as bad as ever. In his opinion the
best thing to do is to install new
boiler and machinery at a cost of
about $1,000.
The matter was referred to Commits

Swine on the Farm.

I am a great believer in keeping
swine on the farm and have often
wondered why more farmers do not
engage in this profitable industry
writes Maine farmer in the New Eng
land Homestead. l have bred swine
for many years and am friend to all,
but consider the Berkshire the most
profitable for me to keep.
In order to be successful 1t is neces-
sary to give the hogs considerable
care, especially at narrowing time. !
put my sows in pens by themselves
about two weeks before narrowing
time and feed them bran and flour
made into swill. Mix with hot
water and occasionally add some salt
and little linseed OIL Give them
about all they will eat. Under this
treatment l never have any trouble
from sows eating their pigs. After
pigs are born feed lightly for first
week and increase feed as pigs grow
older. l generally wean pigs at four
to six weeks of age.
