The old folks of Haywards took part to-
night in farce which WIS attended by
everybody in town that could crowd into
Native Sons Hall. The play Itself, which
was representation of the Haywards
Schoolhouse ana its methods of education
half a century ago, was of secondary i'm
portance 10 the many interesting charac-
tiers that took part.
One of the most interesting OF the act
resses was Mrs. Haywards, widow of the
man who named the town and who
brought out his house with him from
Maine around the Horn. Mrs. Haywards
took the part OF a scholar and took it we'll.
Mrs. Hamer, another of the oldest resi-
dents, who is over 20 years OF age, showed
that she knew more OF the rudiments of
education than the Trustees, who were
represented by ?. Wilbur, Charles Prowse
and 7. B. Jackson. d. S. Smalley knew
rather too much for his own good, and his
intricate knowledge of politics and the
insinuations that he made regarding the
method by which the Trustees were
elected gained for him severe thrashing,
much to The delight OF the young people
in the audience.
Fred Allen, who has supplied Haywards
with news for many years, was another
apt pupil, but he was no match for Mrs.
E. Hathaway when it came TO spelling.
The programme stated that the piece
was to be presented by ex-professionals of
Baywards, but there were many on the
platform whom it was difficult to connect
with any profession ex-ly or otherwise.
Others who took part were: Miss Maud
Lawrence, Mrs. NJ Mcguire, Mrs. Nc
Cloud. Mrs. P. WIlbert, e. NJ. Buck, Fred
Hoyt and f. G. Pier-ol.
. The purpose of the entertain nment was to
raise funds for the sending TO the uniyer-
sity OF the pupil who should win the
scholarship among those who will gradu-
ate from Haywards High School in the
class OF i97.

REDWOOD CITY WILL CASE.
Mrs. d. W. Wilson, the Disnherted Dauqh-
ter and only Heir of the Late James
QaeRin, to Contest

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Dec. 1.-THE
will of the late James Quentin, who, it
will be remembered, died IN San Mateo
County some two months ago, leaving to
strangers an estate valued from $75, 900 to
$4,000 and expressly disinheriting his
daughter, Mrs J. w. Wilson, came up for
probate i'll the Superior Court this morn
ing before Judge Buck. Although it was
generally supposed that the probate of the
will would be contested by Mrs. Wilson,
vet upon the matter being called no OBJ
lection was made to its proof. This does
NOT by any means signify that no effort
will be made to break the will. Every
thing points to the contrary. According
to the laws of this State any one interested
NAV contest either the probate of the will
or contest the will itself at any time
within one year alter 1t has been admitted
TO probate.
That there will be fight for the dead
mans property is conceded Counsel has
been employed for that purpose. That
the proponents of the will expect such
contest is evidenced by the extreme pre-
caution they are taking in all the prel1mi-
nary matters. The testimony OF all the
subscribing witnesses 10 the will, as also
that of other witnesses who to-day testl-.
fed as to the sanity of the testator at the
time of making the instrument, has been
reduced to writing and subscribed by
them This, as is known, will be good
evidence in any subsequent contest con-
cerning the validity OF the will or the suf-
ticiency of the proof thereof. should the
witnesses in the meantime die or remove
from the State. The executors. DR.. Emer-
son and Thomas Stealey, are also person
ally interested in upholding the will. they
being legatees. one to the extent of $4,000,
the other TO one-third of all the real and
personal property. They were appointed
application for letters testamentary.
Should Mrs. Wilson succeed in breaking
the will the whole of decedent's property
will go to her, as she is the only known
living relative. Developments OF sensa-
tional nature may be expected at any
time.

first road convention held in Oregon.
The session will last for a couple of days
and a regular congress on good roads and
how to build them Will be held tomorrow.
Among other things the convention ap.
pointed legislative COMMITTEES and
passed resolutions favoring the collection
OF road taxes in coin instead OF labor and
devoting it to road improvement. Many
measures for highway improvement were
debated. Oregon now spends more money
on roads in proportion to population and

ONLY FOUR ARE AHEAD.
California's State University Is Now
the Fifth in the Union in
Attendance.

BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 1.-THE Uni
versiUy OF California has become the fifth
in ;he United States in the number of its
students. The extraordinary growth OF
the past few years has carried California
above nearly all OF the Eastern and Middle
Western colleges that were lar in the lead
five wears ago and now Harvard, Mlchi-
gan, Pennsylvania and Yale are the only
four universities in the country equaling
California in number OF students en-
rolled.
Yale is not very far ahead of Berkeley,
and if the latter's present pros poets OF,
growth hold good, not many years viii
pass before that great historic institution
will be behind California.
Harvard has 5000 students, Michlga
1925, Pennsylvania 2632, Yale 24l5 and
California 2150.
Owing TO the continued increase in the
mum Der of high and other preparatory
schools asking to be placed on the ac-
credited list of the university, IL is.
thought that BerKeIey's growth will con-
tlnue without abatement.
Firemen at Outs.

Viding that members must be over is

number of older mem bers signed the new

which company is entitled TO recognition
from the town authorities.
