MEMORIAL Held
FOR LATE king
British Subjects and Episcopa-
lians Join in Burial Serv=
ice at St. Johns

OAKLAND, May 2O.-With the flags
of England, Scotland and Ireland
mingling with the stars and stripes
and the royal mourning colors of black,
white and purple in the impressive
decorations and with former subjects
of Great Britain who had bent the
knee in homage bending the knee in
prayer, memorial services for his late
majesty King Edward VII We're held
this afternoon at st. Johns Episcopal
church. The boyish voices of the
vested choir mingled with those of the
gray haired pastors of the different
Episcopal churches joining in observ-
ing the burial OF the head of the
church, while the kingly and peace
preserving qualities of the dead SOW
ereign were extolled by Rev. David j.
Evans of Palo Alto.
The church was crowded with rep
resentative gathering Of Oaklanders
which numbered former subjects of the
late king and others as well, Superin-
tendent of Police Wilson and a number
of couneilmen being in attendance.
Doctor Evans took his text from
Ezekiel: The fruits of righteousness
maketh peace for those who desire
peace He praised the diplomatic
qualities of Edward and the strong
effort the ruler had always exerted
toward preserving the peace of the
world. He referred to the grief of the
subjects, % which evidenced the love
they bore for their sovereign, and de-
clared that he had proved himself
every inch king. The speaker chal-
lenged any one to gainsay the words
of Edward shortly before death to the
effect that he believed the end was
near, but that he thought he had done
his duty.
Rev. Edgar E. Gee of St Johns was
assisted at the services by the follow
ing ministers: Rev. Alexander Allen of
ST. PauPs, Rev. Clifton Macon of Trim
ity, Rev. James Hume, Rev r. F.
Hart of the Good Samaritan, Rev.
Jerome Trovett of the Church of the
Advent and Rev. C. Sowerbutts of ST.
Mary the Virgin, San Francisco.
The services were brought to a close
by the singing of the national anthem,
one verse to the words of God Save
the King" and the last verse to the
words of Our Country, s''Tis of Thee"
The services were identical with those
being held IN England at the same
hour over the body of the late king.
Albion lodge No. 2O6, Sons of st.
George, attended the church in body.

OAKLAND HAYWARD AND
SUES FOR LOSS
OF CATS Love
Teamster Wants $3.50 Damages
Because Neighbor's Dog
Killed His Pet

OAKLAND, May 20.-What is the
love, respect and esteem? How much
should a judge or, jury give. as dam
ages If your neighbor's dog jumped
over your fence and broke the back of
your pet feline? Is $3.50 sufficient com
pensation for the loss of the cats af-
fection, comfort and society; or, is it
too much?
Those interested in the cat as a do
mestic pet are awaiting anxiously for
Justice of the Peace Geary's answers
to these questions. They have been
put up to him by John Lewis, team
ster of 3014 Penniman avenue, who
who brought suit today against E.
Konrad, milkman, of 3010 Penniman
avenue, because Konrads hound killed
the Lewis cat. Lewis wants $3.50 dam
ages.
Not that that sum represents the in
trinsic value of the cat as cat, for the
fence variety, and had no value be-
cause of breeding, beauty or vocal ac-
complishments. It would not have
brought more than dollar at a sale.
But Lewis valued the cat because he
loved it, and the cat loved him. It's
ing way of rubbing itself against its
owners legs were worth $3.50 to Lewis,
and he sues for that sum because of
his loss.
