MAY HAVE AN AUDITORIUM.
Board of Regents Will Erect One
Upon the Campus of the Uni
versitY Of California.

BERKELEY, Nov. lit is likely that
a temporary auditorium for the Univer-
sity OF California may soon be erected
upon the college campus. The need Of a
building in which all the students of the
university could be assembled at once has
been felt for a long time. With the COM
Regents attempted to solve the problem
by adding a wing to the present gymna-
SUM. thus making a hall with a seating
capacity OF about 250o. PIans for such an
It's feasibility is so much questioned that
the regents are not inclined to look ia
vorably upon the proposed change. In
stead the Grounds and Buildings Com
mittee is said TO be planning for a large
wooden auditorium TO be used Temporal
lily until better and more substantial &C
commodatiOn can be secured.

WILL CONTEST ELECTION
OF DISTRICT ENGINEERS

ALAMEDA, Nov. u.-Frank A. Mess
ner, foreman of the Thompson Hose
Company has filed with the City Clerk
a notice of appeal from the action of the
Board of Foremen and Engineers who on
the evening of October u, declared that
F. K Millington and A. Z. Cumbers were
duly elected assistant engineers of the
first and second fire districts, respect
lively.
In his complaint Messner alleges that
the election of the district engineers was
conducted in an irregular and wholly
Illegal manner, and asks that the Board
Of City Trustees order another election
rightly determined as to who are entitled
TO the positions of district engineers
Messner claims that previous to the
election in question he, being duly
elected and qualified member of the Board
Of Foremen and Engineers, moved that
the offices of district engineers should be
declared vacant before their successors
could be chosen and that he was ruled
out of order by the chief, who was cnair-
man, and the election was carried out
with technically no vacancies to be filled.
1t is also alleged that both Millington
and Cumbers were allowed to vote for
themselves for the posistions of assist
ant engineers, while this privilege was
denied both their Opponents-George T.
Morris and H. Eckstein. CumberS II is
alleged, vas not duly elected and quail
fed foreman of any company in the de-
partment and was not then a mem Der Of
the Board Of Foremen and Engineers.
Papers setting forth the grounds of con-
test have been served upon Milling on
and Cumbers and a copy of the same
filed with the City Clerk. The matter now
rests with the City Trustees for adjust
ment. The Trustees will probably take
away the power of election of assistant
engineers from the members of the de-
partment and make the office an appoint

election of the Chief of the Fire Depart
ment.

KUCK'S LICENSE
MAY ESTABLISH
A NEW RECORD
Some Members Are
Seeking Cover.
Oakland ONCE San Francisco Call.

90S Broadway, Nov. II.
Next Monday evening there Will be one
of the periodical battles royal over the
granting Of a saloon license which oc-
cur about every three months This time
the cause of trouble is the renewal of
the license of Kuck's saloon on Twe-f lh
street, and although the <our members
of the License Committee voted last night
to deny Mr. KuCkS a renewal there is
much doubt as to whether six votes can
be obtained to vote against him on Mon
day night.
The members of the Council view with
dread these license squabbles, as 1t all
ways forces them to go on record. his
going on record is never pleasant and on
Monday the lines will have to be drawn
very straight. Messrs BarstoW. Upton,
Girard and Stetson will of course oppose
this license, and they depend upon the
votes of Meese and Rowe or of Cuvel-
lier to prevent its renewal. Mr.. Mott, he
other member of the License Committee.
has already stated his position, which is
that so long as Kucks obeys the city Or
dinances he will not show any discrlmlna-
ton as between one saloon-keeper and
another.
Councilman Cuvellier stated last week
in meeting that he agreed with the ideas
of Mr.. Mott, but since the very powerful
showing made last night by Rev. Hr
Coyle, Rev c. H Hobart, Rev. g r.
Brown and the delegation of ladies, a
special effort is to be made to induce
well known that Messrs. Shaffer, Kramm,
Mott and Taylor pretty well agree upon
the proposition that so long as the city
issues licenses there should be no dis
elimination.
One Councilman makes his defense upon
the fact that when the question of clos
ing the saloons was submitted TO the peo-
pie two years ago general interest was
shown by the large vote polled, total
of 1886 votes being recorded out Of about
10000 On this occasion the question was,

and the result showed that 1892 voters

BITTER CONTEST OF
THE PRYALS DECIDED

OAKLAND, Nov. T.-Judge ogden to-
day rendered decision in the contest
over valuable property of Mrs. Mary A.
Pryal in favor of the surviving husband,

erty to her eldest son, William A. Pryal
deed set aside, alleging it to be held in
trust for all the children, and the hus-
band next set up a claim to the property
on the ground that considerable portion
of the same was a homestead, which
should revert to him, the remainder being
community property. The contest waged
was very bitter, and during its tendency
members of the family have figured in
minor court trials brought about by con-
ficts that at times presaged q serious
end.
