THANK TWO. STUDENTS
SUMMER SCHOOL EXTENSION

Two students of the University of Cali
fornia, ]. w. Craig and E. H. Denicke,
were rendered the thanks of the Regents
yesterday for their work last Thursday
in preventing the destruction by fire of
the Mining building at Berkeley. Their
presence of mind and prompt action, it
was acknowledged, had prevented an ex-
tensive confagration.
At the same meeting the Regents ap-
pointed President Kellogg emeritus pro-
fessor of Latin, the appointment to date
from July l next.
university, now at Bryn Mawr, Pa, col
lege, was appointed assistant professor
of philosophy, the appointment to take
effect July l. 1900 H E. Montague was
appointed instructor in philosophy to act
during the absence Of Professor Howl
son.
The principal business of the remainder
OF the session was in connection with the
proposed extension of the summer school
at Berkeley. President Kellogg stated
that the proposition to enlarge the course
and history, in addition to physics and
chemistry, seemed to the faculty at the
university doomed to failure during the
coming summer by reason of the fact that
many of the teachers who would be bene-
fitted by such enlargement would be at
Los Angeles during the time of the sit
ting of the National Educational Asso-
citation. For that reason he asked that
the board rescind it's order for the three
additional subjects. There was consider
able discussion on the matter, which was
finally compromised, on motion of Regent
Rodgers, by the appointment of com
mittee of five to arrange for the addition
al course and formulate plans for the re-
ception of such of the delegates to the
association as might be induced to go to
Berkeley. The chair appointed President
Kellogg and Regents Rodgers, Kirk,
Budd and Pardee.
The thanks of the Regents were ex-
tended to Mrs. Phebe Hearst for collec-
ton of books on art and architecture
Rufus n. Grant was appointed master
carpenter of the Wilmerding School at "a
salary of $1,000 year.
The Regents authorized the expenditure
of $3.50 on the johnson building on Sut-
ter street, providing Nathan, Dohrmann
& Co., the lessees Of one of the stores,
would make certain alterations. This
amount makes the investment of the

PEDDLINe BOGUS TICKETS.
A Well-Dressed Fraud Tries to I'm
pose on Two Priests.

Rev. Father Wyman of st. Mary's
Church, on Dupont and California streets.
Monday reported to the police that a
weIl-dressed man had called upon him
and endeavored to sell him some tickets
for picnic which, he claimed, was TO be
given by the American Association on
May at Shell Mound Park. Thinking
the man was a fraud he refused to have
anything to do with him.
Subsequently the man met Rev. Father
Nugent of st. Brigid's Church and also
endeavored to victimize him. Father Nu-
gent has informed the police that no
such picnic is to be held and says that
the man is a fraud. 1t is claimed that
the schemer represents himself as a Dep
uty Sheriff and that his object in selling
the tickets for the alleged picnic is to
raise sufficient money to furnish libra
ry for the "hard-worked boys" in the
City Hall
A description of the man was sent to
the various outside stations last night
with written instructions to the patrol
men to arrest him.

could not have placed the money inside
his stockings, and a dramatic scene was
enacted in the courtroom when Piggott
was placed on the stand to prove this
claim. He was handed five twenties and
the jury, court and spectators were
treated to the sight of Piggott dropping
twenties into his waistband then en- dane nac
Then Piggott placed the twenties under
the wastband Of his underclothes, hoped
around some more and pulled his trous-
ers' legs over his knees to let whoever
would inspect
An examination showed that the twen-
ties were stopped by his garters. The
garters were removed and the yellow
pieces were again stopped in their down
ward course by the prisoners shoetops:
Piggott also gave the jury his version Of
the affair on the car, but his testimony
apparently carried little weight
The case was not concluded until 1915
o'clock last evening. The jury was out
less than fifteen minutes and then re
turned to have the testimony of HenriOulle
read to them again. They then repaired
to the jury room but remained there only
