DIR. GREENE APPRECIATED

There was profound qualification among
the friends of Columbian University over
the announcement in The Star yesterday of
the selection of Rev. DIR. B. L. Whitman to
be president of the institution at a meet
ing of the corporation, held during the
afternoon. Dr. Whitman, who is, as Is
| well known, president of Colby University
at Waterville, Me-, has already achieved
distinction that made him as notable in the
Baptist Church as divine as he is famous
in educational ranks as leader. In as
suming the important duties as president
of the Columbian University he brings
many valuable qualities to his aid. Not
the least important of these is his youth
President Whitman is astonishingly young
when his career and its achievements are
taken into consideration. He was born .n
1868 in Nova Scotia and is not yet thirty
two years old Graduating from Browne
University in 1887 with much honor; he
Immediately entered the Newton Theologi-
cal Seminary, whence he was graduated
two years later and ordained minister
He was made pastor of the Free Street
Baptist Church, Portland, Me-, in 1890 and
quickly became noted throughout New
England for his pulpit power and logical
reasoning. With a fine presence a pleas
ant voice, an attractive manner and a
broad and comprehensive horizon to bis
views, he made admirers among all classes
and was in short time nearly as we'll
known on the lecture platform in the east
as he was in the pulpit.
1t was not surprising to thcse who knew
him when the brilliant young clergyman
was called in 1892 to the presidency of
Colby University. and the prophecies of
his friends regarding his new duties We're
abundantly verified. He displayed admin
1stratiVe ability to remarkable degree,
and under his direction Colby has made
lcrg steps forward in progress.
The Plans of Reorganization.
After the selection of President Whit
man had been decided or the corporation
took up the question of ,reorganizing the
several departments Of the university. and
many char ges which had been recommend
ed were adopted. Columbian Academy will
terceforth be the name of the preparatory
school. -,..
In order to meet the extra requirements
of the reorganization 1t was decided to
secure $4,000 by subscription to be ex-
pended at the rate of $4,000 year.
A soliciting committee was, at once sp-
pointed. the members being Rev. Dr. Sam'l

THE MORTON CLUB.
Early Morning Raid on n Social Or

Early Morning Raid ON n Social Or
gnnizntiOn.
Since the organization of the Morton
Club several months ago it's members and
officers have not had all smooth sailing.
Because of the name given the club several
members who held positions in the depart
ments were threatened with dismissal, as
1t was thought to be political club. The
clubs incorporators wanted to change the
name so that the positions Of these men
would not be jeopardiZed, but this expense
was afterward found unnecessary. Some
weeks ago the club moved from it's club
house in order to reduce expenses, and
this morning the police entered the place,
broke up game of poker and arrested
Henry E. Burgess, who is known as preSi-
dent and manager of the club. The club is
one OF the most prominent colored clubs in
the city, and when 1t was organized it's
Ing with some of the other social organ
iZations. but fortune smiled on the club the
wrong way. and instead of improving the
club property smaller and cheaper quarters
had to be secured. From time to time the
police have watched the club because it
had been reported that gambling and
liquor drinking were the principal features,
and arrangements for a Saturday night
raid were made. But for some reason the
gamblers did not materialize and the raid
had to be postponed. Acting Sergeant SUIT
ton nad the matter IN cnarge, ana this
morning about 1 o'clock he summoned
Precinct Detective Helan and Policemen
kilmartin. Fathers, Boyce and Williams
and proceeded to 1924 Pennsylvania ave-
nue., where the club is located.
The front door was locked and after hav-
ing the premises surrounded Acting Ser
geant Sutton raped at the front entrance
and the door was opened. He then entered
and several of the men followed. Burgess,
the president and manager, was on duty
in the rooms, while Washington Wood
was presiding at the bar. From there the
officers went to the rear room, where
number of other men were seated. Three
games of poker were in operation when
the blue coats appeared at the door, but
in an instant all the men in the room
were anxious to leave.
Tom Daniels ju.-.ped. through a plate
glass window and two others went out on
the back roof.
Burgess was arrested on a charge of
violating the gambling law, and a number
of the colored clubmen were taken to the
station, where they registered Witness
es. Among those in the party were Ed
ward Amber Paris Livers, John Smith,
William johnson, Robert Brown, w. H.
Smith and ]. c. Thornton.
When the case was called in court this
morning Burgess was charged under the
statute with setting up a gaming table, and
the case went over until Thursday.

An Unanswered Question.

Alice Green, a young colored woman,
whose condition is such that she needs hos
pital treatment, was in Judge KimbalPs
court this morning, charged with being a
vagrant because she is a woman of evil
life and fame. She was arrested in the
Division" and Policeman Flathers, who
made the arrest, told the court of the
woman's character.
Il don't see why he should come in the
house and arrest me-" said the miserable
woman.
Because you are a woman of evil life,"
said the judge.
But I'm only one of many" said the
prisoner; why didn't he arrest the 9TH
ers?'
This question the court did not answer
but sentenced the woman to ninety days on
the farm in default of bonds.

WILL TEST THE FEE BILL,
Justice Groezinger Refuses to Ac'
cept a Fee of Two
Dollars.
Attorney Reed Asks for a Decision That
Will Make Justices Much
Richer.

Attorney Charles Wesley Reed proffered
Justice of the Peace Groezinger 81 yester-
day. The young Justice eyed those dollars
iongingly, but he shook his head firmly
and refused to take them.
Mr.. Reed was trying to test the new fee
bill. According to the old law the fee for
Judgment in a civil suit given for default
was 50 and this was paid to the Justice.
In this way the Justices OF the Peace har-
vested $500 and $500 fees apiece each
month.
Now they get salary of 5000 a month.
The fee for this judgment, according to
the fee bill, is raised to So and it has to be
paid to the County Treasurer. That was
why Judge Groezinger had to tell Mr..
Reed to take his So away.
Mr. Reed at once went to the Office of the
Justices Clerk. There he met Deputy
Geary.
Here's 81 for judgment 1 want in a
defaulted case" said Mr.. Reed, proffering
the coin.
That's all right" said Mr.. Geary, reach
ing out for the ducats. Hand 'em right
over. The more the merrier."
Alarmed at the prospect of losing sight
of his money, Reed slipped it back in his
pocket, explaining:
Il didn't come here to have you take the
money. / came to get you TO refuse to
take it,
Now, Mr. Reed, you don't really think
I'd refuse you anything, Go you? Why, OF
course wouldn't. Just offer me those 81
again, please"
But Mr.. Reed had another use for them.
He explained the matter to Mr.. Geary at
length. That official then struck an atti-
tude, and, with an exclamation of pride,
ordered the attorney to withdraw with his
money. This Mr.. Reed did at once.
He retired Immediately to the County
Clerks office. There he filed petition
for writ of mandate from the Superior
Court commanding Justice Groezinger to
accept the 81 fee and give his client
Judgment in the suit of ]. S. Reid VS.. G. c.
Pape.
This action was commenced November
10. The case was settled out of court, and
when it came up before Judge Groezinger
on Novembe is the defendant failed to
appear Attorney Reed then demanded
Judgment for his client, at the same time
proffering So as the fee.

GOETHE-SCHILLER STATUE.

1t Will Be of Bronze, Mounted on
Marble and Granite.
The members of the San Francisco Art
Association and the local sculptors are de-
sirous of having the statue OF Goethe and
Schiller designed and made in this City.
One of the members of the Monument
Association yesterday said:
Yes, we received communication from the
Art Association, but we cannot grant the re-
quest. During the Midwinter Fair, when this
organization came in 10 existence for the pur-
pose OF presenting this City with a monument
of the two German poets, it was also decided to
have the statue reproduction of the one at
Weimar, Germany. We can get this reprOduc-
ton for $10,0 600 and will have nothing to pay
in duties ii we should change our plans SO as
to have an original design equal in artistic
merit to the one selected it would cost at least
SIS 900.
The late fair did not net as much as we ex-
pected it would, for we raised only about
$1,000, and shall have 20 devise another enter
tainment to secure the amount necessary.
1t has been decided that the statue will be of
bronze upon a large base OF California marble
with granite foundation.

POINT ON INSOLVENCY.
Judge Slack Gives a Decision Affectin &
Homesteads of InsOIvents.

Judge Slack Gives a Decision Affectin &
Homesteads of InsOIvents.
A case involving point in insolvency
law was decided in Judge Slack's depart
ment of the Superior Court yesterday.
1t was the case OF Margaret Wheelan, an
insolvent debtor, to have set aside TO her a
homestead on which she had filed her for
NAL declaration before invoking the as
sistance of the insolvency act.
The point in question established, accord
ing to this decision, was that whether the
original homestead was fraudulent or not
tie right of the homesteader to its eXemp-
ton could not be attacked by the insol-
vency court.
Mrs. Wheelan, through her attorneys,
filed her petition in insolvency few
months ago. This action stayed the pro-
ceedings to nullify the original homestead.
Mrs. Wheelan then made application to
the insolvency court to set aside to her as
exempt from execution the property on
which her original declaration had been
filed. This was granted by Judge Slack.
There was another peculiar point in
volved in this decision. The homestead
laws allowed the applicant but one house.
In this case there were two, one immedi-
ately in the rear of the other. But as they
we're connected by porch Judge Slack
held that the property could not be divided.

MUST SERVE HIS TERM,
Judge Morrow Will Not Recon
slider the Sentence of
SummerhayeS.
He Gains Point in That No Further
Proceedings Can Be Brought
Against Him.

The Federal Grand Jury, when it ap-
! peared before Judge Morrow in the United
States District Court yesterday to be dis
charged, made an earnest but vain plea
: through Assistant United States District
Attorney ScblessInger for the release of
Harry J. Summerhayes, who was SEN
fenced by the Judge to six months i'm
prisonment for contempt.
The only point gained was that the man
| who is now incarcerated in the Alameda
| County Jail was freed from the peril of
further charges arising out of the trans
action for which he was sentenced, the
jury having investigated the matter and
decided that indictments would not hold.
After the reading of the jurys regular
report, which included all the business
transacted by.it since its impeachment, the
Assistant United States District Attorney
stated the Summerhayes case as requested
by the Grand Jury.
Judge Morrow grew extremely serious
when the case was mentioned and at once
refused to make an order either to modify
or to abrogate the sentence of the prisoner.
He said that whether he recognized or not
that Summerhayes had been exceedingly
foolish and without any criminal intent,
yet he could not modify the sentence.
The court said that it had been extremely
indulgent under the circumstance in only
giving the offender six months, and that
for even q more excusable exhibition of
foolishness a Los Angeles Judge had SEN
fenced an offender to one year and a half
in the County Jail.
After the retirement of the court the
jury turned to Juror Burke, who on behalf
of the jury presented Secretary Hess with
a magnificent diamond locket. The stone
was set in the center, and was large and
brilliant one. On the reverse side was en-
graved in large capitals: Presented to Sec
rotary Hess by the Federal Grand Jury of
1885, The speaker also alluded TO the
breaking up of the jury, regretted that
their association, which had been so pleas
ant, was to cease, and hoped the members
would always bear pleasant recollections
of each other. The jury then adjourned
sine die.
There is one thing in connection with
the Freeman cases which is not generally
known, and that is this: at the meeting OF
the jury of November Is 1t was resolved to
find indictments against two of the Free
mans on the charges OF perjury. The vote
was taken to that effect. The indictments,
however, were not fled on account OF the
lateness of the session. When the Jury
convened at the next Wednesday session,
November 20, strong fight was made to
quash the indictments, and was success

of taking the first ice to the Hawaiian
