NEVADA ANXIOUS TO
COPE WITH BERKELEY

BERKELEY, Sept M.-The prospects
are good for an intercollegiate football
match this year between the University
of California and the State University OF
Nevada. 1t will not be game between
the Berkeley freshmen and the Nevada
varsity team, as in previous years. The
Nevadans, with a crack player from the
University of Pennsylvania TO coach
them. are anxious to face Berkeley's big
team. 1t has not been settled yet whether
the Berkeley men go to Nevada, CT
whether the players from the Sagebrush
state expect to come to the university
town. More likely the latter will be the
case. as the University of California
team can hardly take the time for trip
out of the State before the next Thanks
giving game.

PRISON SALARIES REDUCED.
Folsom Directors Give Employees a
Painful Surprise.

The Board of State Prison Directors
paid quiet VISIT to Folsom Prison last
Wednesday and held a brief session. par
taking somewhat of the nature of sur
prise party. Without any previous warn
ing to any of the interested parties the
heads of four guards fell into the political
basket and the salaries of every officer at
the prison, except those of Warden Aul
and Clerk Brainerd Smith were reduced
in sums ranging from s. to S25.
This action of the board came as great
surprise to everybody connected with the
prison the affair being transacted so sud
denly that not only was nobody present
in anticipation of any excitement but the
news of what had actually taken place
was not made public until yesterday The
step was taken by the board for two rea-
sons-because of the dminuton in the ap-
preparation made by the Legislature for
Folsom Prison at its late session and the
fact that practically nothing has been
done for some time in the way of rock
crushing.
The appropriation for Folsom Prison
was reduced $500 per month, and by the
would have caused a deficit each month
has been completely offset. Each of the
four guards discharged drew salary of
$50 a month, the aggregate amount saved
tion in salaries meets the rest of the re-
duction in the appropriation The dis
charge of the guards leaves forty-one men
at the prison, exclusive of officers.
Clerk Brainerd Smith was reelected to
serve for another four years. His salary
and that of the Warden were not reduced
because they are constitutional. The
Warden's brother suffered a cut of $40 in
farmer The biggest cut was In the
amount to be paid the master mechanic,
who operates the electric plant his salary
being slashed from $1S5 TO $3.50.

over, and he has bills on hand to the
amount of S30S7 "a. When the Supervis-
