A TRAMP KILLED.
Third Victim of the Berkeley Local
Trains Within the Past Seven
Weeks.

BERKELEY, CAL, March 5.-George
Barnestead, the third victim of the Berke-
ley local trains within the past seven
weeks. was killed tonight by the north
bound train between Bristol street and
University avenue at about $40 o'clock.
He was tramp. between the age of 55
and 60 years, and was supposed to have
recently come from San Bernardino. He
was drunk at the time of the accident, and
it is thought that on account of this be
lost his life. He was standing on the track
as the train approached.
The engineer whistled first when within
about 200 yards of the man. He got off
the track, according to the engineer, and
staggered back toward it as the train drew
near. The engine passed him and he was
struck by the brakebeam of the fist car
The entire top of his head was taken off
and both arms were broken. The other
parts of his body remained uninjured
Late this afternoon ewas seen in Henry
Ostermann's saloon and was recognized by
w. A. and j. ]. Nash, who knew him
while in San Bernardino. Barnestead Sc
cured several drinks at the saloon and
called for more, but they were refused
him. He then asked the way to San Fran
cisco and was seen later by the Nash
brothers and Ostermann staggering down
the track. A few moments later the re-
port came that he was killed. He was
roughly dressed and bore all the appear
ances of hardened tramp.

OBJECT TO PICNICs.
Grand Army Men Want the Spirit of
Memorial Day to Be Preserved.

Memorial Day to Be Preserved.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,l
90S Broadway, March 5. {
A meeting of Grand Army men and OF
the Women's Relief Corps was held to-
night for the purpose of securing suita-
BILE observance Of Memorial day. The eel
ebration will be under the management OF
the permanent Memorial-day committee
organized after the celebration year ago.
There is desire on the part of the old
soldiers and their wives and of many citi-
zens to prevent the day being devoted to
picnics and sports, as has been the case for
several years past. The committee is
working with the idea of having the day
preserved for exercises in conformity with
the purpose for which the holiday was
founded They have been holding
monthly meetings since last year, but now
that the holiday is approaching they will
at once decide on the methods to be pur-
sued to carry out their intentions.
The following are the mem bers of the
committee appointed to carry out the work
OF observance of Memorial day:

Geographic Society Takes Steps to
Advise Northern Stations to Look
for the Air Ship.

The council OF the Geographical Society
of the Pacific met yesterday afternoon at
the office of Professor George Davidson, its
president.
The business for which it was calleu was
discussed at length-that of presenting the
facts of the Jeanette relics, as they were
known to the members in San Francisco,
to the Royal Geographical Society of
Copenhagen. The council decided to in
trust the matter to Professor Davidson
and to Henry Lund. They will draw up
paper reciting the facts and include with it
the paper concerning them by the Cover
nor Of Greenland recently published.
The council also decided to prepare q
circular concerning the balloon expedition
to the north pole to be undertaken in
July by Professor Andree.
The circular will be sent to all the north
ern stations on the North Pacific coast and
reached by vessels from Pacific Coast
ports.
The circular will give advice as to the
character of the expedition and advise the
recipients to spread the news and ask that
lookout be kept for the balloon, and if
sighted to afford assistance to the voya-
gers.
Professor Davidson stated that he had
not received the papers from Washington
that he is expecting by every mail, and
was therefore, not prepared to bring the
matter of the expedition to locate the
north magnetic pole formally before the
council. He will call meeting for the
purpose as soon as his plans are in shape.

News Notes.

BERKELEY, CAL, March 5.-North
Hall, the oldest of the buildings at the
State University, and the one on three
sides of which extensive excavating has
been recently done by the student labor
ers, is soon to be surrounded with gardens
of roses, geraniums, shrubs, deciduous
trees, ivy and other trailing and twlning
vines.
The co-eds are to do all this. The plant
ing of flowers and shrubbery and the beau
tifying OF the grounds in close proximity
to the old wooden structure is to be their
part in the student labor movement.
Though they will pot actually get out and
work with the spades and siovels them
selves, they will furnish means to pur-
chase the plants and to pay for the labor
In having them set out.
Just whether grass will be sown on the
three sides of the hall where the excavat-
ing has been going On is matter of specu-
ulation, but that its surroundings will be
made more assuming by the efforts of the
co-eds is assured, SO Regent Reinstein said
to-day.
The young yomen of the university
have been anxious to do something toward
beautifying the grounds ever since the re-
cent labor movement was proposed by Mr..
RelnStein, Dut Hothlng mas appeared to
them in so plausible light as the plant
ing and rearing of flower garden around
the recitation hail.
Nothing can be done in this new depart
ure until the work of leveling off the
ground in the vicinity OF North Hall has
been completed ,sand the time for the stu
dent laborers to do this only depends
upon how soon the weather will permit.
Those who know of the new scheme
among the co-eds seem to think that it
will be much more productive of lasting
good than any of the others which have
been mentioned.
Health Officers Duties.
BERKELEY, CAL, March 5.-Objections
have b-en raised to the ordinance passed
some months ago by the Town Trustees
creating a Health Officer for Berkeley. The
ordinance gives the Health Officer power
tto act upon, define, determine and ad-
Judge what shall constitute nuisance in
the town of Berkeley" and all per-
sons who refuse to comply with an order
from the Health Officer to abate what he
may have declared to be nuisance shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, punish
able by fine of $50 or more.
The arbitrary powers thus given to the
Health Officer are declared TO be contrary
to constitutional law, and likely to result
in an abuse OF power, and it is possible
