POLICE WANT A PATROL BOAT.

Members of the Board of Health ar.
peared before the Health and Police Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors yes
terday and presented reasons why the
State quarantine boat should not be taken
away from the Health Department and
turned over to the Police Department for
use in patrolling the water front. DR..
Williamson and others stated that the
tine Officer shall board and inspect all
incoming vessels and that it would be i'm
possible to perform this duty as required
by statute should the quarantine boat be
turned over to the Police Department.
He stated that the inefficiency of the
Federal quarantine service made 1t i'm
perative that the present system of quar-
antine be continued in order to protect
the city against the Introduction and
spread of contagious diseases.
Chief Lees. on behalf of the Police De-
partment, said that he was not particular
whether he was given the use of the pres
ent quarantine boat or some other equally
ties of his department demanded a boat
and he looked to the Board of Supervisors
to provide him with one. The matter was
taken under advisement by the COM
mittee.
The committee considered informally
the proposition of the San Francisco Ath-
letic Club to hold a boxing contest in the
near future. The club has not applied
for and has not been granted a permit to
hold the fight which is now being adVer-
tised on all of the downtown street cor

AN ENERGETIC PASTOR
Rev. w. B. Anderson Hopes to Re.
duce His Church's Debt.

Rev. w. B. Anderson, pastor of Bethel
A. NJ. z. Church, Powell street, near
Jackson, has the membership of his
church well organized. They have been
on a financial campaign for several weeks
trying by church entertainments and So
licitations to get 1920 together by to-mor-
row, the 14th. Their church property has
a mortgage Of $500 upon it, but this the
pastor, who enjoys the highest esteem of
his flock, together with them. has worked
nobly during the last three years to free
the church from debt 1t was thought at
one time before Rev. Mr.. Anderson took
charge that the church would be lost, but
since he has had charge and proved to be
the right sort of leader all fear of such
a catastrophe is banished. The church
was almost $4,000 in debt three years ago;
now its Indebtedness is $500.
The rally that takes place tomorrow
promises to surpass any previous gather
ing. The congregation is deserving of
public help and the people will doubtless
turn out and assist materially in relieving
this burdened church.
Following is the programme 6 a. M
prayer meeting, led by the pastor; II a
m, sermon by Rev John Pointer. P E.;
1:30 p. m, rally by the Sunday-school. j
dresses by Rev. =. T. Cottman of Oak

Kelly will preach the sermon and Rev
collection. At this service all of the diff
ferent clubs will make their report and ii
is quite assured that the $1,000 asked for
will be realized.

At the special session of the Board Of
Regents yesterday afternoon the election
of a new president of the State Uni
meeting in June. The regents attending
the meeting yesterday were: T. G. Phelps
(presiding), James A. Waymire, DR..
George c. Pardee, A. B. Spreckels Alden
Anderson, Thomas J. Kirk, Charles w.
Slack. Arthur Rodgers, DR.. Chester Row
ell, General Houghton. John e. Budd
E. A. Denicke, A. S. Hallidie, H. S. Foote,
William 7. Wallace. Albert Miller and
President Kellogg
According to the estimates of the
finance committee the additional sum of
s47 900 is needed to maintain the institu-
tion for the next year. A proposition to
impose a tax on the students to raise the
amount required provoked a vigorous re-
sistance.
Judge Wallace contended that it would
be contrary TO law to impose the tax. 1t
would be a shock to the public sentiment
of the State if the regents should do this
thing. He spoke logically and earnestly
against the proposed measure of taxa
ton.
Dr. Rowell of Fresno registered a pro-
test against the proposed tax. He be-
lieved the exigencies of the case could be
met by other plans He was in favor of
revising the budget and reducing ex-
penses.
The proposition to tax the students was
defeated The regents who voted to i'm
pose the tax were: Denicke, Kellogg,
Hallide, Houghton, Miller and Phelps.
In further discussion respecting means

for adjusting the financial difficulties. the
sLatement was made by Regent Budd
that salaries had been increased 500 900
In the past three years.
Judge Waymire believed that the re-
gents could safely count on receiving
tax than was secured this year
Mr. Hallidie gave notice that he would
not vote TO elect new president until
the hnancial affairs of the institution
Judge Slack believed in having a frank
talk with the heads of departments at
Berkeley: He called to mind that financial
dlstresS in the past had been tided over
without recourse to tax on students
The suggestion was made that S770O ex-
pended on fad, known as pedagogy, or
teaching, teachers how to teach, might be
saved. NO one suggested bringing a suit
to recover $24O0 paid for lobbying at Sac
ramento two years ago.
Regents Rowel. Slack and Denicke
were appointed to assist the finance COM
mittee IN deVising plan to overcome the
financial obstacles now confronting the
university. The committee was in
structed to submit a report at the June
meeting.
When Regent Rodgers observed tnat
larly Hallidie and Miller, were in no
frame of mind promising unanimity in
the selection of president, he moved
that the subject be postponed until the
June meeting.
Mr.. Hallidie handed to the secretary
the list of names submitted or recon-
HleHueu. Tie Sdlu the men whose names
were on the list We're not candidates for
the presidency. They were not seeking
the office, but had been recommended.
At the suggestion of one of the regents
the secretary began to read the names
He got no further along than the first
name--that of J. E. Stubbs. president of
the Nevada State University-before pro-
tests We're entered against giving the
names to the public.
Regents Wallace and Foote wanted to
know what good could be served by with
holding the names from the public.
Mr.. Rodgers gave an example of the
evil effects of publicity. He said for in
stance, if D. c.. Gilmans name should be
on the list and the list made public it
might place Mr.. Gilman in delicate posi-
ton before his trustees. The same might
be said of President Adams of the Wis
consin University. The convincing and
unanswerable arguments of Regent Rod
gers had so much weight that the board
decided to give the list of names TO the
regents but not to the press.
The list in question appears at the head
of this report of the special meeting, but
1t should be considered that it is there for
the convenience of regents and not for
public enlightenment.
