BERKELEY, CAL, April 26.-To-day
was military day at the State University.
1t was the occasion OF the annual inspec-
tion, review, competitive drill and sham
battle of the student soldiers.
The exercises began at 9:40 this morn
ing and continued until nearly this aft
ernoon, with n shor: intermission at the
noon hour. Most of the morning was con-
sumed with the grand review of the eight
companies in honor of Colonel George II.
Burton and the inspection. In the after
noon were the competitive drill for the
colors and the sham battle
The afternoon exercises attracted great
crowd to the campus.
A series of finely executed maneuyers
were gone through by the several COM
panies, besides the battalion drill. The
officers OF inspection consisted of Colonel
J. G.. Currier assistant Acknowledgement,
n. G. c., and Captain f. de l.. Caring gton.
.. s. A.
A feature of the drill was the execution
by the second division OF the Roman hol-
low-square. Its excellent work drew
loud burst OF applause from the bleachers.
The university banner and colors which
had been carried by Company d, under
Captain Bauer. for the last year, were
awarded to Company H, under Captain
Son. for the excellence and precision with
which his company executed the various
orders
The competitive drill having come to an
end, the field was cleared in preparation
for the blank-cartrIdge battle. Not a
so.dier-boy was in sight for a few min
utes, when suddenly the rifles of the
sharpshooters from the First Division,
who had been stationed along the south
q 10 nf hn
crack. This was the signal for the on
slaught OF the Second Division, which had
taken refuge in the grove of trees along
the northern border of the battlefield.
hmm ediately two companies, supported
by the artillery detachment with two
guns, emerged from their covert and be-
gan firing. A skirmish line was sent out,
| advancing at intervals upon the enemy,
which remained stationary
Presently the enemy poured down upon
the advancing columns heavy volume of
smoke, causing hasty retreat.
The second battalion then advan ced to
within close range OF the first, when with a
sudden movement they captured the guns
and won the day.
The friendly fight was short but fierce
1t would have been longer and more de-
| tailed had the cadets been supplied with
| more ammunition. As 1t was, only six
| rounds each were allowed the young sol
anu lOE the CaDQOnS.
This was LieutenantWInn's last regu-
lar day of service at the university, his
| term OF three years having expired. He
will probably be succeeded next term by
Lieutenant Sidney Cloman, now in New
Mexico. who has been recommended TO
the Government by the regents for ap-
pointment to the university.
During the morning drill Left-fielder
Hoag of the Varsity baseball nine caught
the third finger of his right hand in the
brake of one OF the guns, IaceratinC e it
seriously. 1t is feared he will not be a Bile
to play ball in Saturdays game against
stanford as result. He already has one
"baseball finger" on the same hand.
Diseased Cows
BERK KELEY, CAL April 26-D-. H. N.
Rowell Berkeley's Health Officer, has be-
gun his raid on diseased cows. He has
already condemned ana ordered to be
killed eight cows out of the seventeen he
has examined.
Last Friday and Saturday." said DIR.
Rowell, I'VE used the tuberculin test on
the cows OF Dairyman Morris Cohen and
found that eight out of the seventeen
were diseased. We officially tagged the
animals and ordered that they be killed
and turned over to us for post mortem ex-
animation. This he refused to do, and so
to-day l had aim arrested for refusing to
comply with the law. Cohen's place is on
the border line of the town, and it is
probable that in his defense he will main
tain that Berkeley officers have no juris-
diction over him.
'There is a county law as well as a city
ordinance which requires that persons
holding cattle affected with tuberculosis
shall kill the same at the order of the
proper authorities. We are engaged in
the examination of the second dairy now,
and It is probable that more cattle will be
ordered killed very soon.
ut is strange fact that some OF the
fattest and sIeekest cattle in the drove are
consumptiye. while many of the thin and
scrawny ones are wholly free from the
disease"
