I said: Why man alive, they can't ar

But" said the prisoner they've
done it :"
1T does not seem any use to argue
about the possibility of being treated
successfully by correspondence with
DR.. Pierce when there are thousands
of people to stand up and say We have
been successfully treated, we have been
entirely cured by DR.. Pierce and his
staff of specialists
Then" said his wife, cit doesn't fol-

! a movement in advance of ordinary
practice, by those specially qualified
who have given special study and spe-
cial effort to some branch OF medicine

Precisely, my dear" Mr.. Lovegood

reading. You have got the whole
| thing now 1t isn't because some one
| advertises to give medical advice by
! correspondence that you can necess-
arily assume the advice will be valu-
able or helpful. Anybody can make
such an offer. 1t is wise to go behind

and see if they bear investigation. In

animation of his claims and record the
greater the confidence which he will in

BERKELEY, Sept 23.-Just what the
attitude of the faculty of the University
of California is going to be toward those
students who took part in the rush a
week ago remains as much of an enigma
to-day as when the college was first
startled with the news of the threatened
expulsion of four freshmen who had been
called before the committee on students
affairs. Indications go to show that moth
ing will be done until the professors have
deliberated upon the matter for some
time But whether expulsion be carried
out or not, it is certain that the ques-
ton of rushing is being settled once and
for ALL and that hereafter there will be
a complete understanding between the
faculty and students as to the limits
within which the latter must keep
Henceforth the law of rushing VIII be
definite, and 1t will be known to every
member of the university, so that trans
gressors can have no excuse.
The fact that there has so far been no
such understanding between faculty and
students is largely responsible for the
agitation which the recent action of the
students affairs committee has caused.
The men who are facing the severest
punishment that the university imposes
have at least the excuse that no such
thing was ever known in the college be-
fore.
their resolutions prohibiting rushing of
any kind every student understood that
the only rule which prevented the old
tussles on the campus had been set aside
and that the way was open for the ira
ditional interclass feud without any of
the alarming consequences which the fac
ulty seem inclined on this occasion to In
f1ict
1t would seem now that the committee
on students affairs is trying to find the
men who are responsible for beginning
the fracas which promises to become
historical in the college annals. That the
faculty evidently regards the matter as
one of very serious moment Is seen from
dents to appear before 1t are carried by
special messenger. to their residences III

the letter rack as usual.
This morning seven more freshmen
were called up" among whom were L.
A. Wimble, G. p. Fuller, M. Warner, d.

They were questioned closely as to what

they took in 1t. Their cases were taken
under consideration, and they were told

One, million eight hundred thousand

This was the modest sum said to be
owned by Mr.. "Swiftwater" Gates when
he descended upon Oakland about year
ago and threatened, its society with all
manner of dire upheavals. 1t now ap-
pears that saltwater imagination
was about five hundred times greater
than the reality. The information from
the Klondike and that contained in the
little complaint for a modest 1929 SO Med

at once a surprise and relief to this
city. Mr.. saltwater has been a thorn

Now, It IS regarded as pretty nearly

words, he aped the millionaire on four
fifths of an income of a very moderately
fixed Dawson gold-digging laborer.

there is more than a suspicion among
some intelligent Oaklanders that the pur-
chase of the house was somewhat similar

Promoter Hooley of London carried on
