TYPHOID IS PREVAIL INT,
Numerous Cases of the Disease
Reported by Berkeley
Physicians.
It Is Reported That a Number Of
Them Were Caused by I'm.
pure Milk.

BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. Typhoid
fever, which is now prevalent in Berkeley,
has been the cause of much alarm on the
part Of the friends of the afflicted ones.
The apparent cause of two cases has been
traced to typhoid bacilli in the milk used
by the patients. A little daughter of one
OF the university professors was stricken
down few days ago and the attending
physician, upon examination OF The milk
used, stated that disease germs were to be
found in it. He is now making a scientific
test OF the milk in question so as TO be
certain of his ground before condemning
the dairy from which it was received.
Health Officer Rowell is making a
round of investigation into the causes of
the epidemic.
About twenty cases of the fever have
been reported within the last Two weeks.
Students Arrested.
BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. L-Dispatches
from Harvard University announce the
arrest of two California students for using
firearms in the city limits. They are
Stanley Hollister of Santa Barbara and
Charles Bull of Belmont. Both were
fined SIS.
Young Hollister is well known in Berke-
ley, having been a student some years ago
in Bolts Gymnasium. He was prominent
III social and athletic circles and after
ples In which the young man became IN
volved grew out OF a student celebration
which took place last Tuesday night. At
midnight large number of firearms were
discharged in celebration of the end of the
mIdyear examinations. Before the affair
was over one of the new college buildings
was literally rldd!ed with bullet holes and
residence opposite was also perforated.
Twenty-Five warrants were issued fol the
arrest of the students having q hand in the
affair, with the result that Hollister and
Bull were among the first to be taken by
The poIice.
No Basketball.
BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. 1.-The proba-
bility is that there will be no intercolle-
g1ate basketball game this season, as the
one last year seems TO have evoked too
much publicity for the Berkeley co-eds.
The Stanford team seems willing to have
another game, and, in fact, a communica-
ton has been received from the Palo
Alto girls seeking a second contest. The
U. G. co-eds will train, however, for games
among themselves and with the teams
from the seminaries about the bay, but
they declare another intercollegiate match
