OAKLAND, Cal, June STE Berlin
cablegram of yesterday morning stating
that scandal was attached there to u
well-known professor OF the University
of California, who is charged with send
ing his young wife and two grown
daughters of his first wife to Germany
and leaving them without support and
refusing them money necessary for their
return home, evidently refers to Pro-
fessor Hess, of the university, whose wife
went to Berlin two years ago with the
three daughters of his first wife. The
lady was Miss Scott, sister of a liquor
dealer here. She is young while he is SO
or. upwards. The matter creates sur
prise here, for Hesse is looked upon as
one of the best of men and has sent to
Germany upwards of $4,000 for their
support. The daughters are now in
Hamburg, being educated and are not
now in Mrs. Hesse's charge It is
thought there may be an estrangement,
but the professor and his wife's brothers
are friendly and they do not know the
meaning of the dispatch.
