Parents of a Young San Franciscan Pay It the Last Tribute, Thinking It Was That of Their Soldier Som. A casket supposed to contain the re- mains of Private Francls Deckelman Company L, First California Volunteers, was lowered In May last into a grave in the Deckelman family plat at Odd Fel- lows' Cemetery. On the 1Ith of the pres- ent month, on the suspicion that a mis take had been made, the interred at the request of tI and the su verified corpse, he bel the hat of his son icion met the eves of the e Deckelman. Decomposition had set in to such an ex- | tent that identification W, le, but it was plain to the bereaved father that a dead Filipino had been given the resting place ended for his Young Deckelman was the s and Mrs. F. Deckelman of 505 street, his father being a member of the firm of Wessels & Deckelman, 239 Cali- fornia street. He was just 22 vears old when he enlisted as a private in Company L, First California. He sailed with his regiment to the Philippines, landing at Cavite July 2, 1388. When the regiment moved to Camp Dewey Deckelman, who had been detailed from his company for duty with the Medical Corps, remained behind. He dled in the hospital August 28 following and his body was buried in the San Roque Cemetery. Early this year the Government sent from this city S. ei: , who was com- disinter a and are them for shipmer s after Reinhar Cavite the Aguinaldo rebellion broke out and the plan of disinterment had to be abandoned for the time. It W 4 tempted till April, the rebel army mea while having overrun the San Roque 'When_the insurgent bands were driven back, however, Reinhard be- gan the work for which he had been em- ployed. He entered the cemetery with a number of assistants and found that all the headboards marking the graves had been destroyed by the Filipinos. In ordinary cases this absence of head- boards would have made difficult the iden- tification of the dead. Such a contin- /', however, had been provided for, it been the custom to place on the top of each coffin before the earth was thrown on a sealed bottle containing a slip of paper upon which was written the name of the corpse. i Reinhard says that in addition to finding this bottle on the coffin in a grave offi- cially designated as Dgckelman’s, the grave was identified by members of Com- Sany L who had seen the boy buried. He Pad the coffin hauled up, took out the remains, which had decomposed beyond . and, ldered box and to the ecognition In the swampy cemeter ing them in a zinc vering ht, placed the be in a nt it with twen others transport City of Puebla, The Puebla arrived at San Francisco in the latter part of May last, and the b containing the hermetically sealed mains supposed to be those of ck an was turned over to the T T ed by his pare vould be best d the body w Deckélma eligious tribut r son without a rewell look at t face. The suspicions of elder Deckelman were not aroused several d when he recalled the fact that did not seem to be heavy enough to con- tain the remains of his son. He commu- nicated this belief to Reinhard, who tc him that this was probably due to the rapidity of decomposition, the remains being little more than a skeleton. Later on, Reinhard he was told by Deckel- man that his son d been burled at Paranaque, and not at San Roque. A re- turned soldier, id, had so told him. Reinhard expl how -mistakes had been guarded ag and the elder Deck- elman appeared to be satisfied. He was not, however, for on the 1ith of_ this month he gof a permit from the Board Health to disinter the body. In com- pany with an undertaker, he went to the family plat and saw the casket raised and he s ir the zinc casin . The remains were practically me condition as described by Reinhard, little more than bones. The flesh was nearly all gone, so that single distinct feature re- mained. On top of the skull, however, there was still a good sized patch of hair, nough for the father to satisfy himself that it was not the hair of his son. he hair of young Deckelman was light brown and very soft. The hair on the skull of the disinterred body was black and coarse. The father was overcome at the discovery. It was a losing again of the son he had mourned. He knew not what to do, nor where to go to find the body of his boy. He was haunted, too, by the idea that by some strange chemi- cal charge in the swamps of San Roque the brown locks of his boy had become transformed into the black shock he saw before him. He was at his wits’ end and knew not which way to turn, resolving finally to have the remains reinterred. The zinc covering was soldered up, the body was lowered and the grave filled in. the remains are to-day, but ther or not they are those of his son f a dead Filipino, the father of Fran- cis Deckelman is at a loss to say. Reinhard, who disinterred the body at San Roque, says that there is no mis- take; the body is that of young Deckel- | man without a doubt. not AN OFFIC_E ABOLISHED BY THE LEGISLATURE THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS CEASES TO EXIST. Supreme Court Passes on the Test Case Against Colgan Presented by Edward E. Leake. The Supreme Court yesterday denied the application of Edward E. Leake, Commuis- sioner of Public Works, for a writ of man- date to compel Controller E. P. Colgan to draw a warrant for the salary of the Commissioner for the month of last March. The Controller had refused on the ground that the office had gone out of existence by an act of the last Legis- lature. On account of the large amount of public tmprovements in hand and con- templated the Commissioner took the case to the highest court for a decision. In denying the petition the court said: “In 1893 the Legislature created the of- fice of Commissioner of Public Works, de- fining its duties and powers and fixing the salary, and made an appropriation to carry the purposes of the act into erfect. In 1897 the Legislature passed an act en- titled, ‘An act to amend an act to create a Commissioner of Public Works, defin- ing his duties and powers, prescribing his compensation and making appropriation, approved March 24, 1883, relating to the of- fice of the Commissioner of Public Works.” Section 2 of this act Jows: ‘This act and the act creating a Commissioner of Public Works, defining his duties and powers, compensation, approved March 24, 1833, re- lating to Public Works, of which this act is amend- atory, shall cease, terminate and be at an | end on the 1st day of March, 15%, and the | office of Commissioner created thereunder and under said act approved March 24, 1893, and all officers and employes appoint: ed by sald commission shall cease and thelr employment thereafter shall be di continued and the State of California shall in no manner whatever be liable for the compensation of the Commissioner or employes employed by him or by said commission after said date.’ “As to' the meaning of this language there is not the least uncertainty..It Is is as fol- | prescribing his | the office of Commissioner of | contended, however, that the subject mat- ter of this section is not embraced within the title of the act and that it is there- fore vcid under article IV, section 24, of the c titution, which declares that an | act shall embrace but one subject, which subject shall be expressed in its title, | and that it shall be void as to matters not | so expressed. But the fixing of the term | or tenure of office under an act such as this or the abolition of the office are all matters embraced within or germane to the subject of the original act, and they | may find an expression in an amendatory act without specific mention of them in the title of such amendatory act. Such is the well settled rule based upon very obvious considerations. Reference need | only be made to Cool Constitutional | Limitations, sixth edition, page 174, para- | graph 3; and Sutherland —on Statutory | Construction, section 97, et seq. “It {s further argued that an act passed | by the same Legislature at a date later | than the one under consideration shows a | definite purpose to continue the office be- } -ond the time expressed in the act for its ‘Ee(erm!nnnun (Statutes of 1897, page 171). By this last mentioned act an auditing | beard for the Commissioner | of Public | Works is created; but the amendatory act | continued the office in existence for about | two years, and there is nothing in the | latter act for the conclusion that the Legislature meant to do other than to reg- ulate the affairs of the office during the remaining Perlod of its existence. “The application for the writ is denied.” —_——e——————— SHOPLIFTER CAPTURED.
