THEY nJOSHED" EDWARDS,
Real Reason for the Suspension
Of the Two College
Editors.
WINN USED AS THE PRETEXT.
The Fiery Students Intend to Hold a
General Indignation Meeting
To-Day.
WINN USED AS THE PRETExT.

The real reason for the starting of the
| Investigation of the editors of the univer-
sity publication called the Josh, and the
| subsequent summary suspension of two of
| them by the faculty, has. according to the
students, been discovered. Instead of the
trouble being caused by too severe criti-
| cism of Lieutenant Winn and his iron
| clad contract with q San Francisco tailor
| ing firm to supply exclusively and at a
| fixed price the military suits, as has been
| generally supposed, it now transpires that
gentle caricature of Professor Edwards
was the underlying motive of the action of
the faculty According to the students,
Winn was simply made the pretext and
his case was used in order to punish the
editors for their lack of discretion in dar-
| ing to criticize one of their instructors.
| Professor Edwards, the one who is
thought to really have the grievance, is
one of the three who compose the COM
mittee on student affairs, which body con-
Quoted the investigation and recon-
mended the suspension penalty. Ed
| wards two compeers are Professors Soule
| and Bacon.
| The province of this committee is to in
vestigate every prank of the students and
| to generally keep them in the straight and
| Ii.
diction in the matter, with power to hale
every student before it on any affair con-
| nected with their university life. What
ever they recommend to the faculty is of
course unanimously approved. Professor
| Edwards has been somewhat prominent in
Oakland in its political life, at present
being member of the Board OF Educa-
! tion.
! When the investigation was first started
the students were mildly surprised, as the
Josh" had been patiently hammering
away at Lieutenant Winn and his obiec-
| tlOnable tailoring contract ever since its
| first issue. The lordly and pompous head
| OF the War Department" was generally
supposed to be impregnable to assault.
When the suspension of Editors Steele
| and Robbins followed the students were
dumfounded, as they thought that the
proof against Winn was too positive for
the faculty to dare to uphold him. Some
| OF the students, who were suspicious that
there was something lurking in the wood
| pie, have since been carefully scanning
the pages of the issue of the "Josh" that
caused the trouble, and they think they
have solved the mystery of the facultv's
tardy action in just discovering that Winn
was being held up to scorn and con-
| tumely.
| On one of the pages of that issue appears
| q cartoon representing a newly arrived
freshman as being surrounded with ter
rlfylng gang of armed men. These free
| hooters are meant to represent the different
| demands to be made upon the student by
the various societies in the institution
| Each one of the brigands is soIemnly
labeled. In the rear and partially con-
cealed stands one of the bandits named

AN OTHELLO TO TESTIFY.
G. T. Hills Has Been Summoned
From Pennsylvania as
Witness.

c. I. Hills has been summoned from
Conneauteville, Pa, to appear as witness
for the prosecution in the case of the State
VS.. w. II. I. Durrant, for the murder OF
Minnie Williams.
1t will be remem bered that he was a wit
ness in the preliminary trial, and that he
testified to having seen a couple entering
the side door of Emmanuel Church about
$3.50 p. NJ. on Friday evening, April H.
His nervousness on the stand was due it is
said to temporary estrangement from
his wife, owing to his momentary sus-
picion that it was she who entered the
church with the young man, whom he
was not able TO identify.
Hills and his wife, plump, pretty do
mestic OF DIR. and Mrs. George F. Hanson
OF 1884 Mission street, lived at that time
with Mrs. Hills sister, Mrs. A. J. Hensel,
at 2031a Bartlett street.
He stood on Twenty-third and Bartlett
streets at the hour named expecting his
wife to return, as usual. by way of Bartlett
street. Looking down the street he saw a
couple approaching the church from
Twenty-second street The lady was
small and wore cape and the description
tallying in these particulars with his wife,
he stood rooted to the spot" as novelists
say, while the couple entered the church.
He crossed Twenty third street and went
to his room, for what purpose he says he
did not know himself, and was astonished
to find his wife there before him.
She had come home by way of Howard
street, and reached home before he cid.
The modern Othello said nothing of his
unwarranted suspicious until in the com
pany of his boon companions the next
day, and his wife's first knowledge OF them
came through the papers.
She was indignant, and in his humilia-

tempt at suicide by trying to sever an
artery in his arm. During the illness that
followed he was partially deranged.
He has recovered his mental faculties,
however, and went to Pennsylvania two
weeks ago to take charge of his fathers
farm, whittier Mrs. Hills intended to fol-
low him shortly.
A summons to return and serve as wit
ness for the prosecution was sent to him
yesterday.

wedge-shaped form. The supply rate OF
the air must then be as little as pos
sibie affected by the movements OF
the cars or the wind; the air must be
continuously and regularly supplied IN
generous quantity, the action OF the sys-
tenn being plenum rather than vacuum:
in order to reduce the inward leakage OF
cold air, smoke, dust and cinders. The air
will be filtered, and in cold weather cleo
trically heated and will probably be sent
through the car by the action OF high
efficiency fan, run by electric motor, the
dynamo being run by belt from the axle.
There will be no draughts and the tenn
perature of the car will be always under
control. 1t is found that Imagination
plays large part in ventilation effects,
and any system planned to give the surest
and highest satisfaction should furnish
ocular evidence of its existence and It's &C
ton. Professor Woodbridge is of the opln-
ion that any successful car ventilatlng sys-
tenn will have to include self-announcing
means, so as to enlist the Imagination IN
its favor, and to put an effective stop to
window raising, that familiar Gisturber OF
the working OF artificial ventilation. 1t
has long been the popular belief that rail-
way cars, especially the sleepers, were hot
beds Of disease; i'll fact that the traveller
took great chances of infection from the
sWarms of bacili which they harbored.
E. c. Jordan has taken all the plausl6lllty
out of this idea by description OF the
cleaning of railway cars in Boston, Chicago
and ST. Louis. On the arrival of the car at
the terminus the windows are opened and
the linen and carpets removed. IN the
m morning, after airing the car all night, the
mattresses, blankets and curtains are
thrown out, placed on a rack and thor
oughly beaten on both sides. Meanwhile
the springs are taken out and busted
and wiped out with a wet and
then dry cloth. The floor is next
brushed and washed, and all the wood
work is washed with CASTLE soap. The
closets are then disinfected, and the win
dows, which have been carefully cleaned,
are again opened, and the berths partly
lowered. The car remains in this way
about an hour before it leaves the yard.
Then the carpets which have been beaten
are brought back and put down, and the
car itself is again wiped with a woolen
cloth inside and out. The cars ar e COM
pletely renovated and reupholstered every
four or six months. If an invalid occupies
a berth, the conductor reports the nature
of the complaint. If it is contagious, the
car is laid off and sent to the works; but if
it is not contagious the bedding and cur
tains are sent to the works for eXamina
ton and renovation. Inspectors are very
rigorous about the sanitary condition of
the cars. So important is this subject re-
garded that the Wagner Palace Car Com
pany has a school where employees are in
structed in the proper cleansing and ven
tilation of cars.

MOUNTAIN AVALANCHE.
Baron HO1zhausen and Party Have
Terrifying EXperience.

baron HOlzhausen and Party Have a
Terrifying Experience.
The accident to Baron Won Holzhausen
of Frankfurt-am-Main happened on Mount
Blanc on July II. The party were just
walking on the edge OF the glacier when
suddenly terrible noise, louder than that
of train in a tunnel, reached their ears,
and the most experienced OF the guides
called out: "An avalanche! We are all
lost!' An immense mass of ice had be-
come loosened in ravine of the mount
ain at about three-quarters of an hours
distance from the tourists, and descended
with frightful rapidity, carrying all before
it on the glacier. There was no possibility
of flight. There was nothing to be done
but throw themselves fiat on the ground.
Baron Holzhausen was nearest the ava
lanche as he threw himself down with his
arms protecting his head. He saw the
avalanche strike the glacier, while the
pressure of the air cast his companions
ten PAGES back, and then he lost his senses.
''At the moment" he afterward related
"when the blast caught me l remembered
having once read that powerful pressure
of the air preceded every avalanche,
sweeping all away before it, and l thought,
here it is. All is lost Then lost nv
senses, and I must say if that had been my
death it would have been both easy and
beautiful" Baron Holzhausens COM
panions came off better than himself
