sity circles with regard to the latest fac
ulty roast of the Occident. The scathing
philippe of the papers unknown corre-
spondent is declared to have been in
spired and to be a part of an organized
movement having for its object the re-
moval of Professor Kellogg from the
presidency of the university.
To-day the Occident's article was the
general topic OF discussion in Berkeley
and much speculation was INDUCED in as
to the identity of Rienzi and his motive
for such bitter attack upon the presl-
dent.
The general verdict is that the writer
was inspired by those who are desirous of
seeing some other man in PRECEDENT Kel-
logg's place. Four years ago, when he
was appointed, there was lively contest
for the position, the other man most
prominently named being Bernard Moses,
professor of history and political science.
The selection OF Professor Kellogg was Ie-
garded as compromise. and now the old
fight against him is revived, though, it is
said, those VINO want change desire to
see some Eastern man appointed to the
Office.
The writer has been said to be promi-
nent member of the class OF '95, who is
now taking postgraduate work at the
university. He is an Oaklander, and dur
ing his undergraduates years frequently
contributed to the college periodicals. 1t
is not thought that any undergraduate
would dare to indile such remarks as those
of '.RienZi." One who had not got his
sheepskin safely tucked away would be in
danger of never getting it if be were known
to have given publicity to such opinions.
As it is Editor Hopper is thought to be in
danger of reprimand and perhaps suspen-
sion, though he discIaims responsibility.
There was a general feeling of expec-
fancy all day at the university of faculty
summons TO Hopper and it was antici.
pated that he would be compelled 10 re-
veal the name of his correspondent and
that both editer and contributor would
receive discipline. No action was taken,
however. There is still likelihood that
the matter will receive attention. 1t i.
generally thought that if the mills of the
faculty are grinding slowly they will
grind exceeding sure, and the chances of
Hopper and the famous unknown for
period OF ideness. in which to think over
the dangers and responsibilities of Jour
nalism, are regarded as excellent.

work. A similar condition of affairs was
the ca Sc with R. B. Scott, who had to do
hand pumping also, although he paid 81 so
a month to the water company without
receiving any equivalent therefor. Hzau
Tim Connors stated that for four con-
secutlve days last summer he could not
secure water enough to wash his face.
This line of complaint was general
among the entire gathering, all stating
that when their wives intended to do
washing that they had to collect sufficient
water during the nights preceding that
healthful intention.
Those who reside on the topmost point
of the Heights, which is Wisconsin and
Twenty-second streets. have long since
given up hope OF ever getting any water
from the service pipes OF the water COM
by carrying their supply from Raymond's
tank at so much per month. AS a balm
of solace the following letter was read
from Supervisor Clinton:
SAN FRANCISCO. March is, 1897
James +. HdDlilton-MY DEAR SIR: I have
been after the Spring Valley Water Company.
and yesterday Mr.. Schussler told me that the
company had purchased a site for reservoir
in your vicinity, and that before many months
your section would be abundantly supplied
with pure water. Kindly make known this
news TO your neighbors. Yours sincerely,
C. A. CLINTON.
One member of the club upintention-
ally made mention OF the word ''sewer."
This caused general laugh all round,
with the answer, "What would be the use
of sewer without water to flush it"
A vote of thanks was rendered Supervi-
sors Morton and Clinton for their visit TO
the Heights.

fused to place reservoir in such an ele-

James Z. Hamilton opened the proceed-
ings by stating that he had appeared be-
fore the Supervisors to voice the wants of
himself and his neigh bors on the water
question. In response to. mis- laments,
Supervisors Thomas Morton and DR..
Clinton visited the Heights and, with
test gauge borrowed from Mr.. Scott OF
the Union Iron Works, demonstrated the
fact that on the top of Twentieth and
Missouri streets the water pressure did not
exceed 10 pounds. This test was made on a
Sunday at time when the full pressure
of the Kentucky-street main was at its
height On week days, when the engiEes

are IN operation, the pressure does not
average five pounds, pressure entirely
inadequate to force the water into the

Peter j. Smith of $40 Arkansas street
made out worse case than Hamilton by
stating that he was charged $40 by the
water company to connect his service
pipes with those of the company, and in
return he never drew single pint of water
from the pipes. On the contrary, he had
paid A. Raymond So month for water for

Chinese Laundrymen Get Into Trouble
for Violating an ordinance.
The heather Chinee is conservative. When
the edict went forth that hereafter some other
means OF spraying clothes than that at which
John has become adept must be adopted, the
Chinese laundries were slow to take the hint.
Yesterday all patrolmen were instructed to be
on the lookout for violations of this order.
The result was disastrous to the laundrymen.
From all over town summons were received
during the day for patrol-wagons, and by 8
O'Clock scores OF arrests had been MADE. The
Chinese were all held in 800 bonds or $50
cash bail, and there was great skurrylng
among Police Court LAWYERS to secure releases.
1t was announced that arrests would also be
made for expectorating on the streets or in
otner public places, but this portion OF the
ordinance was apparently lost track of.

by all, and there are those who are dis
posed to think no student wrote Ri
enZps' article, in spite of Editor Hopper s
assertion that the author is student.
The editor knows the writer, but declines
to reveal his identity.
Another startling statement made is
that alumni of the university are backing
Hopper and Rienzi, and have brought for
ward the TRADE of abuse for the afore-
toned purpose of ousting President
kellogg. Those who are in the move
ment desire to see young man OF radical
ideas and policy at the head OF the uni
versity. Such a one would control all
departments and do away with what is
called departmental government"
Various membe of the faculty were in
tervlewed with regard to the article in
question and its fitness. Some agree with
'his policy in allowing the departments
considerable sway, while others have
views somewhat to the contrary. 1t is
the general opinion that the article for
the existence of which Editor Hopper is
responsible is untimely, unwarranted and
ill-advised. A mum ber of those consulted
had no opinions to express, some had
opinions but would not allow them to he
published, while othere were more out
spoken. Following is what some of them
have TO say:
Professor E. W. Hilgard, head of the
department of agriculture:
lean only express my eI treme disapproval
of the article in question. 1t is true 10 be-
gin with and in the second place such matters
should not be aired in public through the
columns of student journals The whole
thing is based either on mis- understanding
or a misre present tation. The heads of depart
ments at the university have always desired
not only strong president but also strong
presidency. l should saw emphatically that
the students here should not befoul their own
nest WI tn such filth, especially since the State
has so very recently richly endowed the uni
versity and has attempted in every way TO in
crease the advantages of the students for
good education.
The faculty is accused of being mediocre.
Well, should like TO ask who it is that have
made this university? 1t is certainly not the
regents, nor the students, but the faculty.
The thing that makes our university stand
high in the rank of educational institutions is
the fact that its instructors and professors
have given themselves to hard and conscien-
Iious labor.
