MORTAR-BOARD And GOWN.
Varsity Boys Who Have no
Use for Them.
4 Strong Desire Among the "Co.-Eds" to
Make the Mortar-Board the Uni
versity Hat.

Shall the scholarly mortar board. like an
intellectual halo, adorn the brows of ten
score young girls In classic Berkeley, or is
it to be reegated to comparative obscurity
and confined to The limits of single class?
Is ever the legend-lorn gown Of Oxford
and Cambridge 10 fall gracefully about the
stalwart figures of our college athletes and
make them look like a cheap umbrella in a
Cliff House breeze, OF no?
These are burning questions of the hour.
Shall we not, as a great commonwealth,
turn from idle chickering's over coolies aud
monopolies and rise to the occasion and the
issue?
Emphateally, yes!
With an eye single TO the solution OF these
very problems. and with a full apprecia-
tiOn of their weighty portent, CALL re-
porter approached Berkeley yesterday.
The genuss Students was cut IN force.
AS the old raw runs-"Some were in rags
and some in tags"-and some wore rocky
looking white plug hats.
Some were thin aud some were filppant
Some sat apart like Milton's angels and
held high converse on themes beyond the
grasp of ordinary intellects.
The reporter sailed up to such a c0terie
and put these questions, calmly but rapidly,
full at them:
DO you favor the adoption of the mortar
board and gown as university dress for
all classes?
What is the sentiment of the students
on the matter?
The recent attempt of the junior girls to
wear mortar -boards-was it a success?"
Later Inquiries convinced him that the
answers be received fairly reflected the feel
ing Of the general undergraduate body.
said young fellow with emphasis:
"We are opposed TO the adoption of NOR
tar-boards and gowns, first, last aud all the
time.
Nobody but sophomores wear mortar
boards, and they are deuoedly sick Of them.
81 only wore mine Two days.
They are stiff and uncomfortable and
"As for gowns-don't speak Of theml
You wont see them here in thousand
years:
how? They only get in your road and
make you look like a fool! You couldn't
find ten fellows in college to vote for
either"
II don't think l should like The gown one
bit, tpiped out pretty little Coed
Its different, you see, with the mortar
boards. OF course, they muss ones hair
little, but then you must admit tney are
awfully stunning"
The reporter bowed coldly.
The eDcroachment OF the junior girls on
sophomore mOrtar-bOard rights is an ind-
cation Of the tendency.
Il predict before very long time girls of
all classes will be wearing them.
They certainly want to; but I'm afraid
the boys VIII never take them up"
The reporter felt sorry about it. She
looked so grieyed to think such poor taste
existed.
And that is the way the cap and gown are
hanging fire at Berkeley.

college hat among the "co-eds." with diff
ferent c0lored tassels to distinguish the
classes. But alas for the poor gown. 1t

OBEYING THE SANITARY LAW
Troubles of John Parkisen
Trying to Follow It.
He Told Plausible Tale in Court and Was
Given the Benefit Of the Doubt by
His Honor.

"The baIiff informs me that you have
something to say" remarked the Judge of
the Police Court yesterday to John Park
isen, who q moment before had arisen when
the clerk had called him and wanted TO know
what he had to say TO a charge OF having
been drunk on public street
''All want to say, your Honor. Is that l
am brought to this disgraceful position by
obeying the law" said Parkisen.
'Disobeying the law, you mean." said the
Judge, In that stern tone that so well be-
comes police magistrate when lecturing
petty offender.
Excuse me. your Honor. but mean just
what / said," added the prisoner. II am
here simply because obeyed the law"
''Never mind what you say, the only
question at issue is. did you get drunk, con-
trary to the form, force and effect of the
statute in such caees made and provided
and against the peace and dignity OF the
people of the State of California;"
'Ifin obeying one law violated another"
continued the prisoner. "Pl have to fall
back upon my constitutional rights and de-
mand a trial by jury"
(which you may have if you want to re-
main in the cooler for thirty days or more
until can get jury trial called up.'
Now, look here. judge" said Parkisen,
in pleading tone. II think we can settle
this right here if you'll give me chance to
explain"
"Well. 60 ahead" drawled the Judge. with
that tired feeling which indicates that the
time has arrived when the person afflicted
should take some spring medicine or give
the undertaken chance.
Your Honor" commenced Parkisen, by
way of explanation, you've heard OF the
cholera, | suppose"
"And l suppose that you are a believer in
the enforcement Of all sanitary laws that
will prevent any one from falling victim of
that dread disease?"
Certainly; their observance cannot be
TOO strictly enforced"
well, your Honor. that's where fell. l
read In the papers yesterday morning that
the Board of Health had promulgated cer-
tain sanitary laws which they said all per-
sons should strictly observe If they wished
to keep out OF the grasp OF the cholera, and
the first OF these is, Drink no water that
has not been boiled
Now, the fact Of the matter is that Ihave
an inordinate thirst. which / have been in
the habit OF satiating daily by drinking on
an average gallon OF water, but when /
read that law of the board | saw at once
that danger lurked in the water, and as l
cannot drink boiled water, for that gives me
an attack Of nausea. l took to whisky, and
before took one-tenth of the amount of

daily was lost to the world, but not to the
police or to you"
His Honor rubbed his chin moment, and
turning to Parkisen. said: prisoner, l
hardly know whether to believe you or not,
but your plea is novel and ingenious, there
fore will give you the benefit OF the doubt
and will let you CO."
Parkisen walked out Of the dock and
whispered to the bailiff, "Eli Perkins was
right when he once declared that lie we'll
told and we'll stuck to often helps man out

GOING TO SHAKE IT Up.
Bennett Runs Things to Suit
Himself.
Directors in the Society for ths Suppression
of VIcs Want Radical Change Made
in Affairs.

The next meeting of the directors of the
Society for the Suppression of Vice will be
well attended.
Things are going to be onsiderably shaken
up and an investigation will be held.
This move is to be made by several of the
directors who have heretofore been regarded
as nOneutitieS.
Charles r. Bennett, the secretary of the
organization. is charged with conducting the
society to suit himself, with the result that
it is not in just the best Of odor seven with
its most prominent contributors.
1t is claimed that there are few OF the
directors who are totally blind to Benefits
defects. and they have allowed him to do as
he pleased.
When Benefits conduct was investI-
gated in connection with the Gray scandal
il was before judges he himself selected.
Acting under the instructions of Ira P.
Rankin, Bennett called q meeting of the
board Of directors to investigate his con-
duet.
Strange to state, however. he failed to
notify some of the impartial members, who
were only apprised of the thick coat Of
whitewash that had been plasterei on their
secretary when they read of 1t in the papers.
Bennetr, IL is said, throws dust in the
eyes of the other officers, and they swallow
everything he says without choking.
The other directors Bennett avoids ex-
cept when he wants money to conduct the
affairs of the society.
One of the directors said yesterday: at
is matter of comment that Bennett does
not attend to his duties. There are some
variety stores which unblushingly display
indecent pictures in their windows. I'M
moral books can be found In almost any
shop where fash literature is on sale. From
all reports Bennett does not do anything.
"The police have no respect for him, and
In the police courts he has no standing at
all.
"Why, just the other day was told that
the immoral show known as the Lively
Fleas' was in full operation, also that an
indecent exhibition called the Hula Hula
dancers fiourished.
Where is Bennett?
well. that's the question lot of our
contributing members have been asking
each other of late"
Charles Montgomery, who has been one
OF the stand6ys of the society, says that he
wants its affairs ventilated.
Il believe society like this has mis-
sion,' said he yesterday, "but it must not
pc allowed to fall into disrepute, or its in
fiuence is lost. l believe in wholesome
censorship over morals where the young are
TO be atfcted. or where vice becomes too
glaring. Something must be done aud that
soon, or l will cease my connection with the
organization. There is something wrong
somewhere and | cannot believe, to put it
mildly, that Bennett manages III the right

TWO BOARDS MAY CLASH.
Fire Commissioners After the
School Directors.
Lives Of Many Little Children Endangered by
Lack Of Fire-Escapes in New
School Building.

There Is a prospect Of clash between
the Fire Commissioners and the Board of
Education.
1t is because the School Directors are to
be required to comply with the fire laws and
be compelled to provide proper ire-eseapes
in new schoolhouses.
This matter was forcibly discussed dur
ing the meeting of the Board of Fire Com
missioners yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Ed
wards started the ball rolling by calling at
teution to the new primary school building
being erected on Bartlett street, between
Twenty-second and Twenty-third
II would like TO have the Fire Wardens
explain" said Edwards. "why there are
no fre-escapes on this big four-story frame
building About 100 little children will at
tend school in that building and it is an out
rage that there are no fre-escapes. There
should be at least four metallic stairways or
fre-ladders."
Assistant Chief Sullivan explained that
he had served President Hyde of the Board
OF Education with notice to comply with
the fire laws in the construction of the
building. The School Directors had paid
no attention TO the notice. and proceeded to
violate the law. They had argued that
there was no necessity OF fire-escapes be-
cause the children were so well drilled that.
| ones could be marched from the building in
| side Of two minutes.
Chief Scannell joined in the protest
| against the action of the School Directors.
| He said that aside from the question of fire
| escapes, the entrances and stairways In the
| new building were altogether too narrow
| The lives Of hundreds of little children
| should be protected.
| Then followed a lively discussion among
| the Commissioners, who agreed that the
| school board had no more right to violate
the fire laws than private individual.
The matter ended by the executive Of
| ficers OF the department being instructed to
| enforce the law and see that the fire ordin-
anees are complied with In the con struction
| of the new building.
| Chief Scannell said he would enforce the
| law, even If a few arrests had to be made
Routine affairs were quickly disposed of.
| The resignation Of George Dougherty,
| driver OF engine D. was accepted
Three drivers were appointed as follows:
David Mulcahey OF engine /, vice Mexican :;
| u: j. Tyrrell OF engine IL, vice Harms !;
William Burns OF engine 8, vice Dougherty
An offer from M. A, Fritz to sell for $1,000
lot in the rear OF an engine lot on Oak
street, was not favorably considered. The
| land is needed for the establishment of a
| chemical engine company, but it Is said to
be worth only half the amount asked. The
matter was referred to the Chief Engineer
| for investigation.
| decided to condemn Hosehouse on Folsom
street, near Tenth, and relocate the conf
pany on Folsom street, between Twenty.

archltects were authorized to prepare plans

Upon refusing to go back and comply with

the will Of James Lick?
Was it his intention that each towel used

peaceable citizens should be threatened
with arrest and fine for overlooking petty
