Clarke 81, and Bradley '95.
The subject of discussion was the "Adop-
ton of the Initiative and Referendum. !"
After an hour and half of hot debating,
the judges decided that McNoble '95,
Flaherty '96, and Clark 1917 had presented
the best arguments in the most forcible
manner, and consequently they were
chosen to represent the university against
the Stanford team.
The judges who served in the selection
OF the speakers were Professors Clapp.
Plehn, Hengseter. Bacon, Lyle, LANCE and
Gayley.
Mr. McNoble was born in Calaveras
County in July 1866 His childhood DAYS
were spent upon the farm, and after the
completion OF his grammar-school course
he entered the Stockton Hill School. from
which he graduated in 'S9 at the head of
his class.
He is man of considerable experience.
having taught school for five years He
was at one time principal of the Stockton
Grammar School. Debating has been his
great forte all through his school and col
lege life. His delivery last night was ex-
cellent, and his points were strong and
convincing.
Mr.. Clarke was born in San Francisco in

acquired; He is well acquainted in bust
ness circles, not only in the cities round
about the bay, but throughout the State.
lie has taken part on many public occa-
sions, frequently representing the N. S. G.
W. at their celebrations. As an after
dinner speaker he succeeds admirably. He
has the distinction of representing the col
leg;e on both the intercollegiate and Carnot
debates.
Mr.. Flaherty is % years of age, having
been born in San Francisco in January.
1872. He graduated from the Cogsweli
College in 1891 in a class of thirty-tive. The
academic class honored him with the
presidency of their body. After gradual
ing from Cogswell he studied law for one
year, after which he entered the University
in the class of SO. Most of his life has been
spent in study. Though the rain battered
hard against the windowpanes while the
speakers were delivering their addresses
they were none the less daunted, and the
losing men took their defeat bravely.

BERKELEY.

In response to a request, Instructor
Woodwork of the university has con-
sented to write series of articles on
Baptist Beliefs" it being his purpose to
show the standing of the Baptist church
to-day in matters of creed as compared
with what it was some years ago.
Mr.. Woodwork was chairman of the
committee which recommended the adop-
ton of the declaration of faith of the First
Baptist Church in Berkeley, and having
expressed publicly his objections to the
declaration, he taxes an opportunity of
defending his position by the publication
OF a series of articles. 1t was through his
open opposition to the passing of the dec
laration that the trustees of the church
saw fit to expel him from their body, and
now he desires to show wherein he was
right in making the stand he took.
The New Fraternity.
Considerable interest has been mani
tested by the student body in the coming
to light of the new secret fraternity. 1t is
the third one of the kind that has sprung
up in the university within the past eight
months. Many are curious to know some
thing of the origin of the national frater-
nifty of which the new local chapter is a
part.
The order was founded at Washington
dHu Itc OllNclSlbN, fISluld, III 1000.
The fraternity has confined itself almost
entirely to the Southern States, and stands
well among similar orders. AT the present
time there are twenty-seven active and
twelve inactive chapters, the one recently
organized at Berkeley being the thirty
ninth chapter to which charter has been
granted.
The entire membership of the brother
hood is about $500.

The try-out field day, which was to have
been held yesterday afternoon on the
Berkeley cinder track, was postponed on
account of the weather. The next athletic
event of importance will be the freshman
man-sophomore field day on next Satur-
day afternoon.
The Peoples party will hold a special
meeting tonight in Mr.. Goods store at
the corner of Shattuck avenue and Dwight
| gates to represent the Third Ward in the
| convention to be held on the 10th prox.
! Fred Smith and family had a narrow
| escape from death while driving Monday
evening. The horse became frightened
and dashed the buggy against the railroad
track, breaking wheel. He was finally
| stopped before doing much injury.
The executive committee of the indie
| pendent taxpayers of Berkeley township
met on Tuesday evening and appointed
| delegates to the convention to nominate
! town officers, which will be held on April
6. About twenty-five delegates were
chosen from each of the seven wards.
| At meeting of the freshman class yes
terday George Ferguson was elected presi-
dent to fill the unexpired term of Gosbey,
who left college few days ago. 1t was
voted by the class to bury Bourbon and
Mimic with the usual ceremonies at some
date near the close of the term.

He LOVES TO SAVE LIFE.
John Ke1ley's Heroism Is Likely to Be
Recognized.

John Kelley, late of the United States
navy and veteran of the G. A. R., Lincoln
Post No. l, has received information that
his application for medal for heroism in
saving human life is being favorably con-
sidered by the authorities at Washington.
Mr.. Kelley's claims are being advocated by
Senator George c. Perkins.
Among Kelley's exploits are: Saving
OF a eomrade on the ship of war Tuskora,
off Wilmington, n. c., in 1852; saving of
Augustine and Jonthern, September /.
1889; Andrew Miller, May S, 1892; China,
man, April IA, 1894. AS a schoolboy Mr..
Kelley saved schoolmate named Shorty
Bissell from drowning in the Brunswick
dock, Liverpool. In 1873 he was the first
to volunteer to man the lifeboat which
saved the crew of vessel which was being
pounded to pieces on the west side of the
piers at Cleveland, Ohio. Charles Good
win now captain of the lifeboat station at
Cleveland, was present at the time

MUCH ADO ABOUT A NAME
An Englishman In Germany Likely to Be
Fined for Calling His Baby Francis.

An Englishman In Germany Likely to Be
Fined for Calling His Baby Francis.
A correspondent, an Englishman living
in Germany for business purposes, writes
to us as follows: English law is often
said to bristle with anomalies. but nv ex-
perience over here will show that other
countries are, in some respects at any rate,
worse off. In October last my wife had a
son, and we desired to give him my Chris
tian name, Francis When went to the
Standes-amt to register this name regis
trait on was refused. | was informed that
according to the law of the 18th dav of Ger
mlnal OF the year IL, only names which are
In the calendar or taken from ancient his
tory are permitted.
l made inquiries as to the origin and his.
tory of this law, and am told that at the
time this act was passed there were in
Paris large number of people who dem
onstrated their politics by giving their
children the name Robespierre and the
like. This was Objectionable to the party
IN power, and hence the law. 1t still re-
mains in force in some parts of the Ger
man Empire, which at that time were
French, and includes in these parts the
use of such real German names as Hans.
Mariana and AnnaHese (the ancestress OF
the prlncely house of Anhalt Dessau).
81 appealed to all the superior courts for
a more liberal Interpretation of the law,
but neither was my plea that Francis
was merely short for 'Franci.kus,' who
does occur in the German calendars. re-
garded, nor was my claim that Sir Francis
Drake and Francis Bacon might be re-
gdrded as heroes of ancient history ac-
cepted. | was fortunate in securing the
assistance of the Foreign Office. and her
Majestys charge q 'affaires at Munich en-
deavored to obtain for me the permission
| desired, to call my son by my own name.
but it was all without avail the registra-
ton was forbidden.
The higher courts at Zweibrucken and
Munich appear to have regarded the case
as test one, for they gave no costs against
me. The decision in the final appeal was
delivered on Wednesday last, so that till
then it was impossible for me to complete
the registration. According to the law
this should be completed within two
months after the birth; but, in reply to
inquiries, was told by the officials that
in cases where appeals were entered this
term was prolonged till the appeal was de.
cided. You may Judge, therefore, of my
surprise when to-day l found myself sen.
fenced by the Police Court here to fine
OF three marks and costs, or in default one
days imprisonment, for not having eff
fected the registration in time. NV solicit
ors are doubtful whether / can get out OF
this, SO that it appears likely that I shall
be fined or go to prison for wanting to call
my baby Francis. London Daily News.

ALAMEDA.

Valentine Humphrey, one of the young
men arrested for stealing beer from Ger
mania Hall on Sunday last, was sentenced
by Justice Morris to 100 days in the County
Jail. His mother is widow and she made
strong plea to the Justice for her way
ward son, and but for her pleading
Humphrey would have received heavy
sentence.
In the case of William Band, who also
pleaded guilty to the same charge, his
mother asked the Justice not to take her
son away from her for long period, as
she was dependent upon him in measure
for support. II he visited the extreme
penalty of the law upon him she would be
compelled to look to the city for aid.
Band was sentenced to the County Jail for
100 days and was given to understand that
the lenlency shown him was entirely on
account of his mother.
