Notice Given of Motions on
Public Questions

BERKELEY, March 29.-In conse-
quence of the passage of resolution
by the state federation of California
women's clubs at Del Monte last year
in opposition to the confirmation OF the
grant of the Hetch Hetchy valley as a
water shed, the Town and Gown club
of this city has presented a resolu-
tion to the state federation asking that
hereafter, under the constitution, no
resolution affecting public opinion be
passed without previous notice being
given.
The Berkeley organization has taken
no stand regarding the Hetch Hetchy
valley, but believes that a wrong is
done when the state federation goes
on record at its annual meeting for
measure concerning which there is a
difference of opinion, unless the various
clubs receive notice of the proposed
action.
The resolution mailed to Mrs. Davis,
asks that a change be made in the con-
stitution of the federation in regard
to the passage of resolutions affecting
public opinion, whereby all the clubs
of the federation will receive previous
notice of the intention to consider a
measure, with the date and. hour for
that hasty or snap judg-
ment may not be taken by the fedora
tion, or a few of the delegates in at
tendance.

English Animals

Hares must surely be accounted.
writes III. a. Dryden in Country Life,
among the hardest of all the wild
fauna of our country TO be able TO
withstand, as they have done. such a
season as the present, in England. They
had a wet, sunless. and very trying
breeding season last year, and since
that they have been subjected to one
of the wettest winters on record. In
East Sussex they have got through
most trying winter extraordinarily well
and have stood up before hounds with
plenty of stoutnesS and staying power

OAKLAND. March 29.-His identity
forgotten by himself as we'll as his
name and the fact that he had valuable
property bringing him in monthly rents
only a few miles away. MARITIME Parolio,
once one of San Francisco's most
famous chefs. died March 10 at the
city and county hospital in San Fran
cisco. He had been there nearly a year.
oblivious of everything in his life that
had happened before a time when in
this city his memory was snuffed out
and he forgot who he was.
In the meantime anxious friends had
invoked the aid of the police and u
vigorous search for the missing man
was made. The greatest publicity was
given TO his disappearance. but not
until after he was dead was his iden-
tity learned. Then it was disclosed
by his will, which was found on his
person. 1t was filed for probate today
by Attorney Fred l.. Button. who had
been looking for Parolio for nearly a
year.
To the death of his little dog was due
in great part Parolio's loss of memory
The old chef. who had done service in
some of San Francisco's most famous
restaurants, retired on competence a
rev years ago, taking up MS residence
here. living very much alone. He had
no relatives and few friends. His sole
companion was his dog. and when the
animal passed away about a year ago
Parolio was disconsolate. He was out
of his mind for a time. and although
he recovered somewhat he never entire
ly regained his mental balance. He
took to drink to drown his sorrow and
comfort his loneliness, until his memory
left him entirely.
He was arrested for drunkenness a
few weeks after his dogs death While
in the city prison he tried TO commit
suicide by biting the arteries of his
wrists. He was taken to the receiving
hospital in time TO save his life. From
that time he disappeared completely.
When he was arrested, Button. at the
instance of some of the old mans
friends. applied for letters of guardian
ship, as it was evident that he was un-
able to take care of himself and his
property. Before the legal papers could
be served on Parolio he had dropped
from sight, and no further step could
be taken in the guardianship proceed
ingS.
ParoIio owned property here that
brought him in a rental of about 800
a month. He was a native of Peru
His will directs that his entire estate
shall go to Mrs. Louisa Arata Minetti,
wife of j. F. Minetti. a friend.
