old-timers are of the opinion that the
seyorest part of the winter is past.
Everybody sincerely hopes so. The

SAW DlEGANS ON IRRIGATION.
A Meeting of Prominent Citizens Con-
ciudes That the Wright Law
SbouId Be Revealed

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. about 100
fruit growers, farmers, lawyers, BOND
holders and others interested in irrigation
and California's prosperity assembled IN
the Chamber o. Commerce Auditorium
this evening to discuss with San Diego
Legislative representatives the Wright irri-
CATION law and the subject OF its repeal or
amendment at the coming session OF the
Legislature. Senator Wilmington and As
semblymen Guy and Dryden were pres
emf. Mr.. Cravath of Escondido said he
was thoroughly in favor of the Wright law
as a whole, although he is not at all mar
row-minded regarding necessary amend
ments.
Mr.. Kew was in favor of giving the law
a trial without making any amend ments
at present. Mr.. Kew owns land IN the
Linda Vista district. D. Cave, who owns
400 acres in jamaica district, concurred.
Judge Gibson also said the law was all
right when properly applied. He sug-
gested some amendments, especially as TO
the levying and collecting of taxes. Ii
Judge Ross recent decision stood In its
wider application the Wright law was the
only salvation for the country, as private
corporations would be 10th to invest in
water systems.
The meeting closed with a resolution
submitted by Judge L. l.. Boone TO the
effect that the Wright law should be up
held and that the matter of amendments
should be left to the good judgment OF
the Legislature at Sacramento, and San
Diego's representatives were THIS in

1t Is the Duty of Governments to
Prevent Persecution Because
of Religion.
Strong Recomm endation That the AT.
fairs of Church and State Be
Kept Separate.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 1.-THE fif-
tenth Council of the Union American
Hebrew Congregations closed this after
noon with one of the most important ses-
sions in the orders history.
There was a long discussion on the re-
port of the committee on civil and relig-
ious bigots, which ended in the report be-
ing adopted. 1t is very strong docu-
ment. and calls for agitation through the
public press toward securing the rights OF
Jews, it holding that this will be more
efficient than working through the State
Department. It is held. however to be
the duty of civilized Governments to pro-
test against the persecution of any peo-
pie on account of religious belief, and
where protest is useless interference by
such methods as may secure the sacred
rights of human beings.
The report opposes any change in the
constitution of the United States toward
recognizing any form OF religion, and it is
recommended that the board of delegates
inaugurate and maintain strenuous agita-
tation to bring about the omission from
all executive proclamations of phrases
recognizing particular religious doctrine.
1t is insisted that such official docu-
ments and acts be limited to the accom-
phshment of governmental duties, and
that the expression of a rel igious idea ema-
mating from executive sources is subver-
sive of the fundamental idea of our Gov
eminent that church and state should for
ever remain separate and distinct. The
report concludes as follows:
While we recognize that often allu-
sions in executive procamations to par
ticular religious dogmas are used as fig
ures of speech, we protest against express
sions as giving color to the oft-repeated
assertions that our Government recognizes
a religion"

CHEHALIS. WASH. Dec. 2.-Theodore
Cleaves went to his house, about five miles
south of town, at an early hour this morn
ing and with Winchester rifle blew off
the top of his head. He had been on a
spree for several days. A letter was found
addressed to a friend named Bennett,
written by the deceased, in which he said
he was going away for awhile and he
wanted Bennett to look after his things.
He said he did not know when he would
return and concluded by saying, "You
know my falling" He had collected
nearly $780, which belonged partly to men
who were working with him, had spent
the money and was not able TO make the
amount good. Cleaves mad lived here
eight or nine years and was well to do in
q way. He had farm south of town and
had house and lot in Chehalis. He has
always been a hard drinker, and after get
ting over spree has been subject to melan-
choly spells. He tried to commit suicide
by shooting himself with a pistol several
years ago while drinking. but he failed.

PACHECO URGES
WAYM|RE' CLAIM
Visits Canton in the Inter
est of the California
Lawyer.
Believes the Ex.Judge Would
Shine as a Member Of the
Cabinet.
1t Is Now Thought That Mark Hanna
Will Accept the Portfolio of
Secretary CT the Navy.

CANTON, OHIO, December 2.-Another
Cabinet boom from the Pacific Slope
reached Canton to-day. though rumors
heralding it's advent had been heard for
some days. The new possibility who is
being theoretically discussed Is Judge
James A. Waymire of San Francisco.
Romualdo Pacheco of California, who was
in Congress with Major Mckinley, dis
cussed Judge Waymire in a friendly way.
After his interview with Major Mckinley
he said: II have known Judge Waymire
for long time. He is a sound money
man, Clean clever politician and good
man of affairs. His standing and his char
acter are of the highest. His appoint
ment TO Cabinet position would give
great satisfaction and encouragement 10
Republicans on the Pacific Coast. Judge
Waymire was one of Major Mckinley g
most efficient friends in California"
J. w. Babcock, chairman of the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee, talked for
long time with Major Mckinley and Mr..
Hanna late this afternoon. He discussed
the wisdom of establishing permanent
headquarters and said if a campaign OF
education was carried on III the two Da-
hOtuS, wy oLAiHS, AGuSdS HlQ NcUTdShd
for two or three years those States could
be brought into the Republican column.
Among the other callers to-day were
Commander-in-C Chief Thadeus s. Clark
son OF the G. A. r. and his staff; Hon.
Henry White OF Pennsylvania, who served
in Congress with Major Mckinley. Sena-
tors Mitchell and Mcbride of Oregon and
Thurston OF Nebraska are among the Wis.,
itors expected tomorrow.
The belief that Mr.. Hanna has agreed
to accept the position of Secretary of the
Navy is strengthed by developments to-
day and there is more talk than ever about
Nelson A. Dingley of Maine for Secretary
of the Treasury. Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna
returned to Cleveland this evening.

FEDERATED STATE ALUMNI
Graduates of All Departm of the
University of California to
Be Consolidated.


University of California to
Be Consolidated.
A movement is on foot among represen-
tatlves of the different colleges comprising
the University of California to unite all
the graduates of the various branches into
one great federation of alumni, indepen-
dent of the several associations maintained
for years past by graduates of each of the
affiliated colleges and by those of the
academic department at Berkeley. The
idea is to have closer common bond OF
sympathy among all the graduates to-
getner, with an annual almuni day during
commencement week at Berkeley, on
which occasion each alumnus may swell
his chest in pride and say, Governor
Budd and / are graduates of the Univer-
sity of California; long wave the blue and
gold"
On Tuesday afternoon a meeting was held
in the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art
Representatives from among the alumni
of the different affiliated colleges and OF
Berkeley were present as follows: From
the academic colleges at Berkeley, Pro-
lessor w. A. Ritter SO. DR.. A. A. d. An
coma 80, and James Sutton IS; from the
Hastings College of the Law, Mr.. Bartlett,
land Medical College, DR.. Edwin Bunnell,
DR.. Kugeler and DR.. w. l. Terry; from
the College Of Dentistry, DR.. Harold Sea-
ger and DR.. J. d. Hodgen; from the Mark
Hopkins Institute of Art, Mr.. Judson ;
from the College of Pharmacy, f. A.
Beckett and Mr.. Bacon.
DR.. A. A. d Ancona, physician and pro-
fessor OF physiology of the medical and
dental departments of the University OF
California presided He ia a graduate of
Berkeley and of the medical college also.
A form of constitution previously drafted
was submitted by committee appointed
month before and consisting of DR..
Ritter, Mr. Bartlett, Dr. Seager and DR..
Terry. The constitution provides for a
Federated Alumni Association of the
University OF California. 1t will be sub
mitted after some minor alterations to all
the alumni associations for their approval
at the next meeting of each. It's believed
that the federation will be an accom-
plished fact long before commencement
week at Berkeley next May as all those
interested are enthusiastic and anticipate
little opposition.
A hasty canvass of the field has shown
that the federation would EN- brace over
21O0 living grad somewhat as fol-
lows: Of Berkeley 900 of the medical
college $50, of the law college $50. OF the
dental college $50, of the college of phar-
macy 240.
While nothing more than union is in
view at first with its benefits to the univer-
sity, some of the promoters of the idea are
looking forward to the possibilities in the
future of numerous organization capable
of mantaing great University of Cali
fornia Alumni Club. standing as social
factor and as power 10 promote the IN

STAHF0RD'S TRACK TEAM.
Ordered to Appear In Working Harness
Three Evenings in the Week
From Now On

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Dec.
2.-Captain Charles S. Dole of the Stan
ford track team has issued call TO all
candidates for the team to meet on the
track three evenings each week from now
on in their track suits. This was the first
day after the call, but six men appeared
for work, and many more have promised
to be on hand hereafter. Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays are the days
selected for track work, and Dole intends
to keep the men busy from now on.
OF Stanford's prospects Captain Dole
thinks it little early to speculate, but
with the loss of several of the last year s
stars through graduation, and the proba-
Bile departure of Brunton '99 at the end of
the present semester, the outlook is rather
prosaic. Brunton was the wonder of the
last intercollegiate field meet, and was a
winner OF IA out Stanford's Sc points that
tied the Berkeley score. His loss to the
team would be irreparable-
