Students Will Appeal to the Board OF
Regents for a New System OF
Student Finances.

BERKELEY. March 1.-THE question
of student finances came up before
meeting of the Associated Students this
morning AS the result of long dis
cussion of the subject 1t was decided to
attempt Immediately a radical measure
of reform
the expenses of such things as debates
and football rallies by a laundering sys-
tenn of popular subscriptions The method
has proved itself unsatisfactory TO the
last degree Periodic efforts to meet out
standing debts by assessments when
could not be enforced have only left the
treasury continually empty. As IT now
stands the treasurer has on mana only
s39 to meet expenses which will amount
10 over $3.50 before the end of the term.
For long time the students have felt
the pressing need of change, ana TINS
morning the feeling came to a head IN q
resolution presented at the Associated
Students meeting. This measure invokes
the help of the board of regents. 1t pro-
videS for a petition to be presented TO
that body asking 1t to impose Zee OF 70
cents a year upon every student who
registers for university work. The sum
so collected, amounting roughly to $500 a
year would be placed at the disposal of
sion required No one would be allowed
to register for a college course without
previously paying his share of the ex-
penses involved by the student body. Adj
vocates of the plan claim that it would
distribute the burden of expense evenly
at the same time providing amply for all
current debts.
majority of the college men favor the
measure and the board of regents will be
urged to make 1T official.
II was decided at meeting Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the athletic asso-
citation to-day to have the cinder track
on the campus fenced in and improved.
The committee voted sum of SITS for the
purpose.

IRON MOUNTAIN
SHOOTING AFFRAY
Tragedy Follows a Fist
Fight.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

KESWICK, March 17-At Iron Noun
tain Frank Persing, a boy aged II, shot
Crozier A. McCandliss this afternoon.
passed through McCandliss body over
the heart, grazed his spine and cut a
cash from the arm of bystander. Nc
Candliss this evening is still alive, but
two attending physicians say he cannot
recover. Persing after the shooting
fed to the mountains and has not been
captured, although a half-dozen Off
GERS are hunting for him.
The shooting was the outcome of a
fist fight between Isaac McCandliss and
Thomas Oakley, the former brother of
the man shot and the latter a bar
keeper for Persings mother who is
known as Mother Bailey" and keeps a
resort next to McCandliss' saloon. To-
day by agreement Oakley and Isaac Nc
Candliss had a fist fight. Oakley brought
Frank Persing along to see that he had
fair play and armed Persing with re-
voIver. As Oakley was getting the worst
of the encounter Persing interfered.
Crozier McCandliss brushed Frank
aside, telling him to mind his own
business. Persing then fired and Nc
Candliss fell. George Lowe, barkeeper
for McCandliss, fired two shots at Per
sing as he fed. They went wide of the
mark.
Thomas Oakley accompanied Persing
to the mountains, taking guns and am
munition with him. Constable Kelly of
Keswick was sent for. He, with a
posse, searched the mountains for two
hours to no purpose. All outlying points
have been notified and the fleeing crimi-
nails probably will be caught eventually.

NINE. JAQUAY
DOES NOT FEAR
A WARRANT
Said to Hold Many
Secrets.
DR.. SHARPE HAS GONE EAST
TRIED TO BORROW MONEY FOR
THE TRIP.
DR.. SHARPE HAS GONE EAST
Two People Accused of Murder APP
pear to Anticipate No Incon-
venience From the
Law.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

SUo bIOduWGy, MdTCn II.
There is little fear of DR.. c. ]. Sharpe
and Nine Jaquay being arrested on
charges of alleged murder. They have
too many friends in Oakland who are
anxious that they shall not be brought to
trial
Although the two alleged murderers are
wanted for different cases, ii is now
learned that they have long worked to-
gether and that the home of the madame
in East Oakland was practically an at
tachment of the doctors establishment on
Washington street.
DR.. Sharpe may have passed through
Texas recently. but that place is not his
destination. He left Oakland for New
York, and has probably arrived there long
before now, perhaps before the warrant
for him was issued.
Before leaving this city he went to a
woman who frequently acted as nurse
in his cases and asked for the loan OF
some money. He acknowledged being in
tight place and said that II he could
reach New York he would be safe. He
said that he had been assured Of a good
situation there and intended to take II.
Sharpe fully realized his danger and be-
fore leaving referred to the fact that he
had little chance of escape in the face of
the testimony given at his trial a year
Ago for the murder of Anna Johnson.
Nine. Jaquay has been following her
pernicious calling for some years in this
city, but has enjoyed immunity from the
law because she mad several doctors or g
certain class among her patrons. These
doctors refused to accept cases involving
the commission of a crime, but had no
scruple about referring patients to the
madame
Nine. Jaquay was not so discreet with
her tongue as might be supposed from
the dangerous and Illegal nature of
her business, and many things told by her
in confidence are now being freely dis
cuSsed.
In the case of the treatment of a young
servant girl in Alameda it is said that
Nine. Jaquay is responsible for the girl
now being in lunatic asylum. The young
woman had been betrayed and her child
was born with the madame in attendance.
The child was either born dead or died
soon after it's birth. At least. that is the
story told the young mother to account
for its disappearance. AS the mother had
heard her babe crying some hours after
birth she disbelieved the excuse. became
hystericaI and was afterward sent to an
Mime Jaquay has too many friends in
terested in her keeping silent TO fear any
thing" said one of her acquaintance
this afternoon. she is the custodian of
secrets that might ruin many regulations.
Most of Ter patients were sent TO her by
doctors around the bay, many of whom
are supposed to be far above any such
practices"
DR.. Sharpe is charged with being re-
sponsible for the death of Miss Anna K.
Jacobsen and Nine. Jaquay with causing
the death of Mrs. Anderson.

THE MEEKS TO EXPERIMENT
WILL OPERATE A PLANT FOF
FIVE YEARS.
Largest orchardists in Alamede
County to Follow Plan That
Has Been Successful in
the South.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


For the first time in Alameda County
sewage is to be utilized for fertilizing pur-
poses. A contract has been entered into
between the Meek Brothers Of San Le-
andre and the Town Trustees of Hay
wards by which the well-known orchard
lists pay $25 per year for the privilege OF
utilizing the towns sewage.
The matter was thoroughly discussed
at A meeting of the Town Trustees last
night The Meek Brothers explained the
manner in which they would carry out
their contract They will make connec-
lions with the main sewer al Alice street
and from there will conduct the sewage
through a wooden culVert to their prop
erty An apparatus will be constructed
enabling the orchardists to pump the
sewage to a sufficient height to enable 1t
to be carried to their orchards and fields.
The contractors declare that the ex-
pense of thus disposing of the town sew
age will not be over $4,000. Some of the
residents of the neighborhood made Cd
lection that there would be offensive
doors and that the sewage ,I mater "Gui "a
asserted by the Meek Brothers that there
is no foundation for this objection. as
the sewage amounts to only ZVo lncnes "a
with 5000 inches of water Berore under-
taking this project an examination was
made of similar plans now oelng Work N9d
TO the farmers and fruit growers or the
surrounding country.
In the contract made with the town OF
Haywards, the Meeks agree to see that
at the end of five years the sewer pipes
of the town are in as good sanitary con-
dition as they are at presenit ms eX X,
this county will be watched with sreat
interest, as there are many other small
towns, the sewage of which could De en-, EN-,

OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.
Reno to Have a Free Postal Delivery
system

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Through the
efforts of Senator Jones, Reno, New. is
to have free postal delivery, the first in
that State. This was decided by the
Postoffice Department to-day. Carson City
people also asked this for their town, but
as their postal receipts are only about
$1,000 per annum this cannot be done, ac-
cording to Postmaster General Smith. A
city must have either 10, 900 population or
gross receipts of 900 per annum and
Carson has neither, although it is the cap
ital of the Sagebrush State.

POLITICS IN ALAMEDA.
Many Voters Disfranchised Through
Some Ones Blunder.

ALAMEDA March 1.-THE politicians
Of this city received a shock to-day when
1t was learned that a large number OF
voters who had moved from one precinct
to another without being transferred on
the Great Register would be disfranchised
at the city election. Whether County
Clerk Jordan is to blame or whether re-
cent amendments passed by the Leg1s-
lature are responsible is not certain. Reg
istration closed here to-day. Many who
applied for transfers were informed by
the Deputy County Clerks that such &C
ton was not necessary and that II they
had lived in the voting precinct thirty
days prior to election their ballots would
be received by the Election Board, pro-
vided their names appeared on the Great
Register of the county. This afternoon,
however, the clerks received word from
Mr.. Jordan that the Interpretation of the
law was all wrong and that those who
had not been transferred could not vote
at the city election.

ceeded II. A. Thompson in the manage

Mr.. Thompson is chairman of the eXecu-
tive committee, but owing to illness has
been unable to give the office his atten-
ton. To get around the unpleasant duty
of electing new presiding officer. the
