tuted crusade against the University
professors. Two weeks ago he attacked
Professor George 81. Howlson, who holds
the chair of philosophy. alleging that he
was the means of leading astray aud away
from Christian principles nine-tenths OF
the students who came under mis- charge.
The allegation Is an old one, and one the
keen philosopher of the University has
often met with from those unable to un-
derstand him or understand how any man
could hold distinct, not to say higher,
conception of the Christ and his teaching
than did they.
But last Sunday Rev. Mr.. Hobart at
tackled the venerable and venerated and
loved Professor Joseph LIE CODte. alleging
that his teachings were radically wrong
with respect TO the origin OF man ana
against Christian prin ciples. Mr.. ID obarts
next view is awaited with interest. lie
attacks lie Conte who believes In evolu-
tioD, and Howison, who does not, and
claims they are botn in the service oil
BeelZebub. Yet to the students who un-
derstand these men. while their different
positions stand clear and distinct, they
are both recognized as men whose ideals
aud teachings concerning Christian faith
and belief are most reasonable, and whose
lives are most pure and exalted. 10 differ
is the province of every thinker, but to
Judge man who is not understood. as Mr.
b obart has done, is most uncharitable
act, especially in mini ster
Bills Allowed Anew.
AS prophesied Tuesday morning the
Town School Board repassed all teachers
salaries and other claims allowed by the
so-called Citv Board. The board did not
pass the same resolution, however, that
the Trustees did, but which Director
Bergen-who is himself Unprecedented
was not exactly regular in that it recogn-
lied a City Board as existing and, there
fore, ratified actions Of which the Town
Board had no cogniZance. Hence another
resolution prepared by Mr.. Bergen was
passed. The effect Of the two will be the
same. however. and money now due can
be obtained.
NJ. j. Congdon, principal of the Lorin
School; j. ). Drew. assistant in science IN
the High School at $500 per year.. Pro-
fessor Lamar, teacher of French in the
High School at $50 per month. were re-
elected, they having been chosen by the
sn-called City Board. Misses Carrie Wood
all and Edith Sprague were chosen sabsti-
tuta teachers.
Misses CottreIl and SQuires have in their
schoolroom an excess of forty pupils at
present. Another room is needed. but the
school fund is so low that it will not per-
init the outlay necessary to rent. and the
board knows not what 10 do.
No Burial Permits.
Berkeley is in bad way, and has been
for some time past, with reference tn the
duties Of the health Office. DR.. Grazer,
who was appointed health officer by
the City Board of Trustees, proved an ad-
mirable officer, but the judgment that the
city had no legal existence threw him out
of Office, and as he expects shortly TO re-
move from the city he declined an appoint
ment from the town board, after DIR.
Payne. the old health officer, had resigned.
The result is the town Is without that
officer and no burial permits can be issued.
Yet the law forbids the taking of dead
body beyond the town limits without such
permit. This law has necessarily been
broken a number Of times within the last
ten days as the nearest cemetery is within
the confines of Oakland.
Football Practic~.
Coach Heffelfnger donned a football
uniform on Tuesday and took part In
the practice game. The reason of his
great reputation soon became apparent
No man on the line could Withstand bis
plunges, and Stanley Easton, who played
the game. The coach, however, has high
hopes Of developing splendid guard out
of Easton In the next few weeks. For the
present the coach will play on the line,
instructing each player how to play that
particular position, and afterward atten-
ton will be paid to team work. About
1000 people. students, Berkeleyites and
Oakla1ders. watched yesterdays game.
Graceful Act.
At the meeting of the Board of Eduea-
tion Tuesday evening President A. l.. OFT
rendered bis resignation. which, being
insisted upon. was finally accepted. Mr..
OFT urged the board To elect in his stead
George NJ. Robertson. who was elected
member of the so-called City Board from
Mr. Otis district. The board acted in ac-
cord with Mr.. Otis desires. Director
Squires declined the presidency of the
board which is left vacant by Mr.. OTIS
resignation.
No House for Tramps.
The West Berkeley jail. which has been
useful mainly in housing tramps over
night, has been turned over to the Fire
Department and it is now expected the
tramp nuisance will be abated somewhat.

Town Treasurer Henley, who has been
granted leave of absence for 30-day
Eastern trip, has arraged with A. II. Nay
lor, cashier of the Commercial Bank, to
