Ban Francisco, Jan. 10. Relatives of
Princess Rosptgllosl. formerly Marie'
Reid, are awaiting her arrival here from
Italy to settle a family quarrel over
the body of her mother, Mrs. Josephine
Rowan Reid, who died August S last.
The body is in a receiving vault at St.
Mary's cemetery, Oakland.
Chester Reid, the oldest son, wants to
take the body to St, Louis for perma
nent burial. He has given orders that
the body shall not be buried without his
consent, fearing that Cyrus Pierce, a
son-in-law of the deceased, and her two
sons, Harney Reid, assistance city en
gineer, and Rowan Reid of the Pactflo
Gas & Electrio company, will Inter the
body In California. They also have or
dered the cemetery agents not to touch
the remains without their permission. It
is hoped the princess can settle the
dispute.
The Reid children are descendants of
Captain Chester Reid, who In 1812 com
manded the historic little merchant brig
General Armstrong, which took part in
the battle of Fayal, In the Azores.
Mrs. Reid was related to Vice Admiral
Stephen C.. Rowan. -
EQUITABLE DID NOT
CARRY INSURANCE
ON JIG BUILDING
(United Press Leased Wire.) 4
New York, Jan. 10. It was
learned late yesterday that
the Equitable Life Assurance so-
clety did not carry a penny of
insurance on its building, de-
stroyed by fire here. Only
4 three weeks ago the trustees
appointed a committee to con- '
elder the advisability of taking 4)
out a polloy, but after consult-
Ing with experts the committee
decided that the building was
w practically fire proof, and notl- 4
fled the trustees that it would
be useless expense to take out
an Insurance policy on It.

The pictures are those of Mrs. A. J. Thomas and Howard and Clayton
Thomas, eons of A. J. Thomas, lessee of the Commercial hotel at
Hillsboro. Howard Thomas, aged 4, is the boy holding the hammer.
, He was burned in the Commercial hotel fire and his mother, in try
ing to save him, received burns from which she died yesterday.
Clayton Thomas, the other boy, is the one who gave the alarm.
(Special to Tie Jonrnal)
Vancouver, Wash., Jan. 10 The body
of Mrs. A. J, Thomas, who died at Port
land early yesterday morning from
burns received while attempting to res
cue her child from the hotel fire at

J Knann. The bodv of the child arrived
about midnight from ilUlsboro and both
are today at Knapp's chapel on West
Eighth street. The funeral will prob
ably be held tomorrow from the for
mer home of the family at Twenty-seventh
street and Main avenue.
Hillsboro, Or., Jan. 10 The Inquiry
held by Coroner E. C Brown Into the
death of Howard Thomas, four year old
boy cremated In the fire that destroyed
the Commercial hotel, elicited few facts
not already known. Evidence showed
that the mother after building a fire In
the room left the boys and went to the
lower floor. The alarm was given by
Clayton, aged five, who escaped, and the
mother in attempting to rescue the
younger boy was met by a sheet of
flame as she opened the door. She stag
gered into the hall with hair and clothes
on fire, but made frantic effforts to re
turn and was restrained with difficulty.
A smbscrlptlon list for the benefit of
the father, A. J. Thomas, -was gener
ously signed. It was headed by J. W.
Bailey, Edward Schulmerlch and W. V,
Wiley, owners of the building destroyed.

Los Angeles, Jan. 10. "John, have you
put out the cat?"
"Yes, my love."
"And ' have you adjusted your snore
arrester?"
"Yes, my love."
'Then good night, my dear."
This is a sample conversation that Is
likely to become a part of the eventide
routine of every regulated home should
a snore arrester offered to Chief of
Police Sebastian, by W. A. Trimble, of
Qulncy, I1L, come into general use.
According to Trimble, his device Is
akin to the Maxim silencer. He guar
antees It to be efficacious in closing the
exhaust in even the after-banquet spore,
which physicians unite In declaring to
be the more nerve wracking to the en
tire family, while the musical snore,
which ends in a dreamy whistle, Js re
duced to a minimum.
Chief Sebastian has declined -to ex
periment with the Invention, expressing
his hesitancy in advocating the general
use of any device that would rob a man
of bis only chance to be heard in his
own home.
