Oakland ONCE San Francisco Call,

sOS Broadway, Aug. n.
A few months ago a very fashionable,
middle-aged physician, giving the name
of DR.. A. Ross, engaged rooms at the
Pleasanton Hotel, Thirteenth and Wash
ington streets. The doctor also opened
offices in the Macdonough block, but
seemed to have more friends than pa
tents. Now the doctor is missing, and not
a trace of him can be found by those who
have an interest in him, or by anybody
else
Mrs. Robinson, the landlady of the
Pleasanton listened for three months 10
the doctors plausible stories of fees that
would soon be collected, with which he
could pay his board bill, and now she
wishes she had not been so patient
For few days the doctor has not been
seen. Friends have called on him, but he
was not there TO receive them. Many or
these friends were ladies'. and 1t Is said
that Ross has been twice divorced, has
court, and was paving the way to make
another matrimonial venture.
When the landlady became convinced
that the doctor was neither occupying his
rooms nor doing business at his offices
she made an examination of his quar-
ters and found enough to convince her
that her guest had permanently forgotten
his board bill In his rooms were few old
pans and kettle of no value, and the
general appearance of everything showed
that he did not intend TO return.
While the doctor was in Oakland he
made much Roadway in certain circles,
but ii is now found that his credit was
not so good as it was thought to be. Many
people would like a reckoning, and some
of them have taken possession of the bits
of personal effects found in the room, but
do not intend to be responsible for his
delinquencies. It has been reported TO
Mrs. Robinson that DR.. Ross has gone to
Manila, but there is no proof of this state

Vice and Deputy Consul General to

Mr. Wildman is 81 years of age
and is brother of the present American
Consul General Rounsevel1e Wildman
who has rendered efficient aid to his
Government during the late war with
Spain.
The work of the office has increased
to such degree that 1t was necessary
for him to have an assistant, and the
President selected bis brother Edwin
for the place. The latter has done spe-
cial work for Leslie's Weekly. His home
is in Elmira, New York. Mrs. Wildmar
accompanies him TO his new post OF
duty. The Vice-Consul in an interview
said:
1T is possible that my brother will be
appointed a Commissioner to take charge
of the provisional government of the
Philippines together with Admiral
Dewey and ex-Consul to Manila O. r.
Williams. At a Cabinet meeting it was
regarded as too early to appoint such
commission, and it was decided to wait
until military rule had ceased in the
islands.

GOOD FELLOWS TO
MARRY OR BANQUET
NUMBER ONE TO CARRY OUT
HIS PLEDGE AT ONCE.
The Remaining Eleven to Draw Lots
to Determine Which Shall Be
the Next Victim in the
Game.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
9O6 Broadway, Aug. q.
Six years ago twelve young college men
at Berkeley formed themselves into
club which they called the Good Fellow
Club" For several years after leaving
the university the Fellows met at regu-
lar intervals to enjoy jinks at some secret
spot Four months ago the young men
decided that with advancing years It was
incumbent on them to take more Sc
rious view of life than to consider It as fit
only for jolliAcation. They determined to
form q marriage bureau, and lots were
drawn numbered from to IL. The man
who drew the first number was either to
be married within eight months or treat
the club to a great banquet. Succeeding
numbers were to be similarly placed be-
tween marriage and banquet in sue
ceeding periods. At the first drawing
Fred 3. Brown of East Oakland drew
No. l. Yesterday he sent to the club a
formal notice that he had complied with
members to be at his wedding banquet at
Los Angeles on September 10.
The remaining members are: Joseph
Haas, II. S. Allen, Edward Shanklin,
Robert T. McKisick, Carlton W. Green,
Burbank G. Summers, George L. Blood

The preparations for arranging a plan
for making the Berkeley University the
most unique and perfect in the world are
being pressed as rapidly as circumstances
will permit. The first stage has been
reached, and the preliminary competitions
that were invited are now at Brussels.
According to the terms upon which the
competition is to proceed, as outlined by
the advisers of Mrs. Phebe A. Hearst,
the 100 architects selected all over the
world to submit plans are to have their
designs at Brussels by July 15 of this
year. Word has been received that these
plans are ready to be opened by the
judges, and in q few weeks the result
will be made known.
Mrs. Hearst will leave in six weeks for
the Belgian capital, and Regent ]. B.
Reinstein will also be present, he being
one of the judges. The board that will
pass on the designs will consist of twelve
of the best known men In Europe, compe-
tent to decide on such matters. These
judges will select from the 100 designs the
five which they consider the best in
every respect. The architects who have
submitted the five accepted designs will
then come to Berkeley at the expense of
Mrs. Hearst, and will survey the uni
versity grounds, after. which they will
perfect their plans and apply their origi-
nal designs to suit the conditions at the
university site.
One year will be given them in which to
cations to the board of judges, and from
these five plans will be accepted the one
which will be the basis for the mammoth
scheme originated by Mrs. Hearst.
There is a general idea that this uni
versity scheme is smoldering,' said one of
the professors to-day; but such is not
the case. Mrs. Hearst is seeing that
everything is done to expedite matters,
and already more has been accomplished
than we supposed could have been done
in the time that has elapsed since the
great scheme was first mooted. Within
three months we expect to have the five
fortunate candidates at Berkeley perfect
ing the details. This contest has excited
general interest throughout the collegiate
world and has been the means CT drawing
much foreign attention to our State Uni
