MILITARY CHANGES MADE,
Two Battalions at Berkeley Here.
after Instead of Only
One.
Officers for the Coming Term Appointed.
Meeting of the Board of Library
Trustees.

BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. ia radical
change has taken place in the military de-
partment of the university. According to
the bulletin posted this morning by order
of Lieutenant Winn, there will be two
battalions from this date on, instead of
one as has been the rule heretofore This
change has been found necessary because
of the size to which the department has
grown within the last few years, there be-
ing nearly 600 officers and cadets at
the present time. The division into
two battalions has necessitated the
appointment of n second major. A.
Mccullough and w. d. Thompson have
been appointed to these positions. Here
after panies A, B and G will constitute
the first battalion, with Major Mccullough
as commander, and companies d, r and +
the second battalion, with Major Thomp-
son in command.
The following is the list of appoint
ments made to-day for the coming term
subject to the approval of the president of
the university:

son ca plain, Company A., Ii. 2. Veeder; ca -

The refusal of County Clerk Jordan to
register any one who cannot read or write
will soon be contested in the courts.
Already the groundwork for a. suit has
been laid by his refusal to register certain
people, from San Leandro and they are
preparing for mandamus proceedings.
The opponents to the Clerks method
claim to be supported by the constitution
OF the United States, which they assert
conflicts with the State laws. The consti-
tuition OF the United States says:
All persons born or naturalized in the
United States and subject TO the jurisdiction
thereof are citizens of the United States and
OF the State wherein they reside, No state
shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities OF citi-
Zens of the United States.
1t is asserted that the State law is an
,abridgment OF the rights OF citizens. In
each case where Clerk Jordan has refused
registration the applicants have been nat
uraIiZed.
II have been told OF these matters.'' said
Clerk Jordan tonight, land l must refuse

The clause that is held to be in opposi-
ton to the constitution is the following:
No person who shall not be able to read the
constitution III the English language and write
his or her name shall ever exercise the privi-
lege OF an elector in this State: provided, that
the provisions of this amendment relative to
an educational qualification shall not apply 10
any person prevented by physical disability
from complying with its acquisitions, nor 10
ANY person who now has the right to vote, nor
to any person who shall be 90 years OF age and
.:upward al the time this amendment shall take
EFFECT.
As the matter is considered to be one Of

attention IN every county, it will be car

GOODS ARE STOLEN.

"A Boy Thief Visits the Store of tn 20
Bernard Mattress Company.
A peculiar case was heard in Judge Con-
lan's court yesterday. Samuel Bernard of
the Bernard Mattress Company, 642 Mis-
sion street, swore out search warrant on
Wednesday for the recovery of goods al
legged to be in the wrongful possession of
his brother, Henry Bernard, 658 Mission
street, The goods were recovered, and in
court yesterday Henry said he had bought
them from boy about 10 years OF age.
The goods were ordered to be given back
TO the Bernard Mattress Company.
1t seemed that the Bernard Mattress
Company had been missing goods for some
time, but no trace OF who had taken them
or where they had gone could be found
Finally samples OF the stolen goods were
sent to several mattress-makers and deal
ers, and they admitted they had purchased
similar goods from Henry Bernard & Co.
1t is believed that the boy thief had key
to the premises of the Bernard Mattress
Company. as there never was any appear
ance of the place being forcibly entered.

has kept sharp lookout on the progress
of the case. She was informed a few days
ago that the testimony had been tran
scribed and submitted to Judge Ogden for
a decree. She then concluded that the
decree would be granted before to-day.
She went away and commenced prepar-
ations for her second marriage. She in
formed her intended that all was right
and set to-day for the wedding. When
about to get the license she remembered
that she had not heard definitely that the
decree had been granted, so she made in
quiry and discovered that she was still the
legal wife of Mr.. Sharon.
Judge Ogden was sought and asked to
decide the case at once, but he said he
must carefully read the evidence, and
limited that as there was no hurry in the
matter he might require time to read it
twice. He may not decide as the wife de-
sires. and he is very suspicious of hurried
proceedings in divorce cases.
