A Successful Protest Against
LOng-standing Custom at
Berkeley.

BERKELEY, Dec. 3.-The junior class
this morning decided by vote of 102 to 81
to exclude liquor advertise ments from its
Blue and Gold. This action was taken
upon the guarantee OF four members OF
The class Of SlS6 worth of sdvertiseme Is
Tor the book which would not have been
OBJ ainable had the liquor advertisements
be N accep ted.
The four mem bers of the class who
guaranteed the advertisements were Reno
Hutchinson, president of the class, Earl
e. Swan, G. NJ. Warner and W. H. Spauld-
,ng. In view OF the guarantee Manager
7. II. franklin has decid d not TO resign,
as he had previous Y announced was his
intention If the liquor advertisements
were to be excluded.
This is the first time that class at the
university has taken decisive action
against liquor ads. The ads have here
tofore always appeared in the B,ue and
Gold. Last year there was a strong effort
made by he College Christian associa-
ions TO exclude them from 1888 annual,
but the protest was voted down and the

The Eoy Murderer Sits by His Aged Counsel, and 1t Is Dfcu
Tel Which Is the Most Composed
James Bryan. the lad on trial for the muir

James Bryan. the lad on trial for the muir
der.
Although trial not possessing any
very romantic or sensational features the
courtroom is packed daily, and this after
noon all the available chairs ms de the
rail were, STRANGELY enough, occupied by
ladies. The lobby was packed with a mot
ley mob, among whom were scores with
far more depraved features than the boy
on trial for his life. Young Bryan, who is
supposed to be about 1S but dee. not look
more than IA, sat beside his grizzle-haired
council, ex-Judge Gibson, and the pater-
nal interest In at the cid man takes in the
youth seems 10 have a marked effect on
many OF the ladies, who are all presuma-
bly, friends of the dead mans family, for
the little murderer is a travelling racetrack
follower without friend in the county.
Constable Cronin told the story of the
bringing of the lad 10 the Jail and of his
confession OF his deed. Cronin asked him
what he had done and the boy piled, Il
shot him." When asked for what reason,
Bryan answered, "I do not know; did
1t, and l am sorry Tor IT." Cronin then
proceeded to tell of various nversa-
tons, in which Bryan had taken part
with others after his arrest, ana during
1t all the boy and his counsel were silent
1t is a feature of Judge Gtbson's method
OF defense that he does not lnterpose all
kinds of annoying objections. During his
many years OF practice he seems to have
arrived at the conclusion that jury is
more Influenced by a strong defense than
by the common tantnizing method of
trying 10 prevent the prosecution from
dong its duty. In this case the ex-Judge
evidently thinks that when his side of
the case is presented he can save the
hn Il hyc h. 49, L.
spol-ible for his actions, even il he did
com init he act with which he IS charged.
Every one OF the twelve Jurors is a man
OF years and presents strong contrast
to the alleged youth of the alleged MUIR
de er Up TO the present time the pro.ecu-
ton has made gu; what is considered TO
be a very strong case, bat the trial will
