trlct No. 2, which has headquarters at New Or

LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS,
Another Greek-Letter College
Fraternity Soon to Be
Established.
Funeral Of an Old Resldent-Taxes
for the Town of Berkeley Due.
University Holiday.

BERKELEY, Oct. 6.-Rumor has it that
chapter of the Chi Psi fraternity is about
to be founded at the university. For sew
eral days past number of those who have
been mentioned in connection with the
establishment of the new secret organiza-
ton have been looking very suspicious,
ana from the very nature of the order OBJ
served almost an unbroken silence with
regard to the chapter that is about to be
swung out. Notwithstanding their pur-
pose to keep the matter silent, few facts
leaked out, and now the new fraternity is
the talk of the campus.
Those who are mentioned as forming q
part of the charter membership are
Cross 'e6, Bender '99, Macdonald '97 and
Laws '9S. 1t is said that their charter
will be secured through the Stanford chap
ter, and that the initiation will take place
some time during the coming week.
The fraternities are becoming numerous
in the university, three new chapters hav-
ing been founded last year. one of which
is a local organization and the other two
National.

as 1.-The musical moke," spoke at the
Citadel tonight. Taylor is one of the

land High School girl named Miss Pascoe.
There was little romance connected
with their marriage which has not yet
been told. Taylor joined the army and
after while fell in love with Miss Pascoe
The army rules prohibit marriages on
sight and prescribe q certain term of court
ship. Taylor and his afianced chafed
appeared at Major Kyle's San Francisco
office and said: major. if you won't let
US get married tonight Wen leave the
army" They were fortified with license,
and Major Kyle married them.
To Help the Home.
The Colored Ladies' Bazaar, which has
been open at the A. M. E. Church, Fiji
teenth street, during the past week for the
benefit of the Old Peoples Home building
fund, will close tonight, after most sue
cessful run, with the trial of King Alcohol
for the murder of John Doe before Judge
F. G. Gift. The prosecution will be rep
resented by ]. S. Francis of San Francisco,
and the defense by Thomas Pearson of
this city.
Priest-Fine Marriage.

Beatrice Priest 10 William a. Fine, son of
Dr. Fine of East Oakland. Miss Priest

for reforms in the First Hebrew Congrega-
ton. DR.. Friedlander's effort to give
women members of his church the right to
vote at the election of officers cannot help
but be popular. 81 can see no reason why
women should be members of the church
and should not be permitted to have q
voice in the election of their officers" he
said. women are educated to-day as
never before-let them therefore have priv
ileges. If single woman is a member OF
our church and pays an annual subscrip-
tion she cannot vote, and that is not right. -
Mr.. Morehouse, the State Equalizer and
banker OF San Leandro, must have been
greatly shocked Saturday morning when
he learned that Judge Ellsworth had de-
cided that Morehouse could not do exactly
as he pleased. Mr.. Morehouse has said,
when seeking election. that he always
votes the straight Republican ticket. and
SO he must have voted for Judge Ellsworth.
For years Mr.. Morehouse has been on the
state Board. A year ago the Alameda
County Supervisors needed an extension
or time to fix some assessments. The life
OF the local board expired that night. Mr..
Morehouse, while in Sacramento, did the
needed thing; he got majority OF the
board, at least it is presumed he did, and
they granted the extension, and at
O'Clock Clerk Crane read a telegraphic ex-
tension at the adjourned meeting OF the
board. This year it was Dalton, not
Leckie, who has been elected to make
honest assessments, and unless the Su-
preme Court reverses Judge Ellsworth,
which is not likely, MIR. Morehouse will
have TO take his medicine like little gen.
tleman. STUART w. Booth.

$500 is not apparent, as he was not known
to have single extravagant habit and he
had good salary. 1t was recalled to-day
that about three years ago a large sum of
money was stolen from the same Office and
at the suggestion of Messrs. Henshsw and
Tubbs detective followed a certain per-
son for several days. After a few days
the Sheriff's Office reported that suspicion
pointed to some one in the office, but no
more was heard Of it. The detective who
was employed said to-day that it was evil
dent to him that there was a general de-
sire to hush the matter up.
Now that this second shortage has oo-
CURED all sorts of rumors are rife and it is
stated that his departure could be ex-
planned by some one who is still in Oak
land.

CRICKET OVER THE WATER
The Champion Alamedas De-
feat the Bohemians at
Alameda.
And the CALIFORNIA; Succunbed tc
the Play of the Pacifics at
Golden Gate.

Two most interesting cricket matches
were played yesterday. At Alameda the
Bohemians met the Alamedas, and were
defeated by % runs. The two stand-bys of
the Bohemian Club, Captain Robertson
and his first lieutenant, DR.. Bowhill, did
yeoman service, making 80 runs between
them in superb form. Unfortunately they
were but Unsupported by the other men,
bers OF the team, so that the side was dis
posed of for 11S runs.
The Alamedas had comparatively weak
team in the field, and their scores, with
one exception, were small. But that ex-
ception turned the scales in their favor. 1t
was J. ]. Moriarty, who compiled 81 runs
with absolutely faultless play. "Papa"
Ward was also in good form, as will be
seen in the following score and bowling
analysis:

SUS BrOaQNaNt OCl o. }
The presence of bankers at last nights
Council meeting to assist in trying to con-
vince the Solid Seven that Mayor Davie is
right in persisting that the city govern
ment can be conducted on a dollar tax levy
was a surprise. 1t did not help the effort
of the Mayor, but ii did cause many people
TO look for the man in the woodpile. They
thought they had found it in the fact that
there were so many million dollars worth
of property held as mortgages by the banks
that the difference of taxation between 81
and 81 Is was worth a struggle to save.
But the Mayor was elected on a Populist
platform, pure and simple. He was not
indorsed by single party outside his own,
nor even by piece club, and consequently
the appearance of bankers to aid him was
somewhat of a revelation.
Although il is not reasonable to suppose
that Davie invited the bankers to be
present, they were there, and they pleaded
with the Council to adopt the Mayors
