Part of his expenses were met by the
college authorities, but this debt be has

training has been SO thorough and his
power Of application is SO great that he

tricate algebraio equation merely By
having it read to hirn, and at the close
he can point out an error which many
men with two good eyes would have
overlooked. He was not engaged as pro
fessor by the university as a curiosity or
out Of charity, but because the govern
ors of the Berkeley school considered
him a valuable addition to the faculty.

The Crowdso Big That False Stories
Spread Rapidly.

There have been many rumors Of IA
talites, accidents and tragedies during
the week. and many of them have
seemed substantiated. Most of the ru-
mors have been of happenings at Camp
Miles. A negro was lynched, a girl
shot by her sweetheart a baby smoth-
cred to death in a street car, q, boy fell
out Of the grand stand and broke a
leg, and a man was shot by a soldier
nit. These were some of the rumors
and the news spread swiftly.
AS a matter of fact there were re-
markedly few accidents in the crowds
which swarmed at Camp Miles. and in
the city An old soldier dropped dead
from heart disease. but that might
have happened anywhere. A few fell
and sprained muscles and broke bones.
And aside from this there were no ac-
cidents worthy of mention. A small
cutting scrape occurred Thursday.
Several Of those in camp at Camp
Miles became sick and they were att
tended to at the army hospital.
