and called out spirited reply from the
latter. The Judge insisted that there was
nothing but surmise or con lecture that
Mr.. Wiimerding had any other place than
san Francisco in mind.
Governor Budd warmly resented the
suggestion that the interior was brazen-
faced in asking for the Wilmerding School.
he was surprised at Judge Waliace's re-
mark, as that regent had asked other
towns to present offers. "On his own
motion Stockton was included, vet he saws
we are brazen-faced for asking the loca-
tion.'
Judge Wallace did not say brazen.
faced.
Governor Budd Cunning to James D.
Phelan)-Whv, your Mayor-eiect pre-
sented the offer of site from San Jose.
Under their oath the regents primarily
declared that other towns had as much
right as San Francisco to enter the com
petition. 1t may be unfortunate that San
francisco has absorbed the majority of
the regents, as she absorbs everything
else. We in Stockton can do without the
Wilmerding School. We can stand upon
our own footing. But warn this board
against stirring up sectional strife, for San
francisco, while holding majority here,
does not hold majority in the Legis-
lature.
Regent Reinstein-I am sure that Judge
Wallace had no intention of rejecting on
the interior, and I regret that any Sec
tional feeling
Judge Wallace-What is that about
feeling?
Governor Budd-There is no feeling.
Judge Wallace offered the resolution for
The interior to enter the list. There is no
thought of feeling. Laughter
John Z. Budd-Judge Wallace's remark
was mere pleasantly.
Everybody laughed, and Mr.. Reinstein
said he would accept the peace-m aker' S
reward OF getting pelting from both
sides.
Regent Hellman said he would vote for
the Berkeley site because the $4OO, 900
would not be adequate for the school in
San Francisco.
Regent Denicke produced figures to show
that the land and buildings could be OBJ
tanned for 500, 900.
Judge Waymire believed that Mr.. Will
merding purposely omitted the location
In order to leave the subject to the discre-
tioD of the regents. The weight of ar.
gument, to Judge Waymire's mind, was
in favor of Berkeley.
Regent Foote-H 1 believed that the
weight OF testimony indicated that Mr..
Wilmerding preferred San Francisco l
should so vote for this City, but to my
mind it is just the contrary and l shall
vote for Stockton.
When San Francisco was chosen on the
third ballot John E. Budd moved to make
the choice unanimous and the motion pre-
vailed. One vote for Los Angeles was cast
by ]. c. Lynch.
The Board of Regents held secret ses-
sion yesterday forenoon and adjusted all
the complications concerning contracts
Tor building the Affiliated Colleges The
session was attended by the Governor,
Attorney General Fitzgerald and Warden
Aull OF Folsom prison.
The contracts will be approved in due
form by the Attorney-G General, but Fol-
SOM granite will be omitted.
There is reservation that the regents
may use granite quarried at Folsom, pro-
vided such use will inure exclusively to
the benefit of the State and shall not be
to the advantage of the contractor. The
Attorney General does not recede from
his position against the use of prison
labor in cutting the stone.
The sense OF the agreement reached in
executive session may be put in the form
of a resolution for record on the minutes.
Regents who attended the session gave
out the assurance to contractors and
others that the work would go ahead now
without delay.
