TAKES ISSUE
WITH DREDGERS
Mayor OIney Says That
Railroad Drove
Piles.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


Mayor Warren Olney takes issue with
tie officers of the American Dredging
Company, which has the contract for
deepening the Oakland Estuary, when
they state that the line Of piles driven
in the lay north of the retaining wall OF
the estuary was driven by them in order
70 keep the dredged material from being
washed again into the waterway by the
tides.
When seen at his Office to-day in re-
gard to the alleged proposed scheme of
the Southern Pacific to grab a large por-
tion Of the Oakland water front. Mayor
Olney made the following statement:
The piles in question off the western end OF
the estuary. were without question driven by
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. Moth
ing as yet has been done by me in the matter.
If It is found on investigation that the rail-
road has designs on any of the tide lands,
thus jeopardizing any of the city of Oakland s
interests l will Immediately take action.
In my opinion the tide lands belong to the
State and should 1 find that the State is be-
ing robbed 1 will Immediately notify the Gov
ernor.

SENIOR CONTROL
IS INAUGURATEO
Important Changes in
System Are Made by
Faculty.
Berkeley ONCE San Francisco Call,

2148 Center Street, Sept. "a.
The first tangible attempt to inaugurate
a system of government at the University
Of California for handling such student
misdemeanors as are incident to all aca-
demic communities has been launched as
the result of a long conference had last
night between the members of the stu
dents affairs committee and a number Of
the leaders in the different lines of col
lege activity in the senior class.
The conference, which lasted for several
hours, was held in the faculty clubhouse
on the campus.
The decisions reached are destined to
have a very wide influence upon under
graduate affairs, as they mark the begin
ming of the first attempt to introduce
senior control IS an active factor in
university administration. The following
seniors were present at the conference:
Max Thelen, president of the student
body; A. L. Price editor of the Occdent;
=. NJ. Carey, president of the senior class;
j. Z. Roadhouse, director of senior sing
ing; Carl Parker, editor Of the University
Magazine; w. c. Crittenden, president of
the junior class; William Andrews, presi-
dent of the sophomore class, and Earle
Booth, president of the freshmen class
AS a token Of their Willingness to have
the students assist in the administration
of their own affairs, the faculty men ex-
tended an invitation to the men of the
senior class to. attend all future meetings
of the committee on student affairs when
matters that concern the undergraduate
body are being discussed. A second con-
cession was the granting of the use of
the college rooms to the undergraduates
without deposit Of $25, as heretofore de-
manded.
These steps are considered the most
practical that have yet been taken in the
matter of student self-government and
upon the success of the present plan will

Christian Science is a cult and not a
religion; as cult, it will live and die,
a S many others before it, and all that
Mark Twain did by his articles was to
make its adherentS regard Mrs Eddy
as martyr and think more highly of
her than ever. The article in question
is full of the usual hazy platitudes
from Mrs. Eddy's book, and the writer
asks the world to judge them by the
cures effected and by the thousands
of persons who have been made happy
by their belief in Mrs. Eddys "discov-

Railroad Accident Discussed.
The frequency of railroad accidents,
Which has become alarming this winter
in particular, hardly a day passing
without not only one, but several ter
r1ble collisions, with loss of life, has at
last attracted the notice of writer's. and
various remedies are suggested. Those
accidents, which have occurred in the
Eastern part of the country, have been
caused by the congestion in railroad
yards and lack Of track room. A writ
er in the March Worlds Work saws
that investigation always shows care
lessnesS on the part of somebody. and
suggests as partial remedy the dupli-
cation OF men at danger points and
'iie pidclHS OF TWO men IN every en-
glne cab. This has been suggested
before, and some interviews published
the other day with engineers seemed

This writer also speaks of device in
use in Germany which is claimed to
be a success, by which warning is
given to engineers of impending dan
ger. 1t is third rail, by which the
engineer is given notice of the pres

realist. This is the summing up OF
his conclusions: II do not mean to
claim for Mr.. Howells any super5uinun
genius; his humanity Is his strong
point. I do not wish to be understood
as saying that he Is the greatest nov
elist of the age, for all are not 1g~ >ed
as to what constitutes great novelist;
nor that ne has reached the further
wall Of the evolution Of his art. But
am willing to be held responsible for
this judgment: He is the most Amer
lean, the most sympathetic, the truest
writer in American fiction. He expresses
his age and is ineXtricably bound up
in It, He never can be separated from
the air and thought of the present half
century. His influence has been who'll
ly good. 1t is to me a most notable
fact that this man has risen to be our
chief literary man on the strength Of
some ten or twelve novels wherein his
critics may vainly search for a single
murder, confia grafton, abduction, d.
vorce or pistol shot. We can safely
challenge the world to produce his
equal in sanity, sympathy and humor-

In the same number of the North
American Review there is a sort Of an
answer to Mark Twain's three articles
against Christian Science by an ar
dent believer in it's system, who uses
few arguments and contents himself
with quoting seriously what Mark
Twain intended in ridicule and sar-
casm. The truth is that Mark Twain's
articles were not very good, he laugh

cial management of her affairs, but he

BOOKS REVIEWED.
BY A POPULAR AUTHOR.
Lady Roses Dauahter-By Mrs. Hump

Lady Roses Daughter-By Mrs. Hurnph-
Tey Ward. Published by Harper &
Brothers, New York.
The critics of England and America
unite in saying that in Lady Roses
daughter Mrs. HUMPHREY. Ward has
written novel that will live among the
masterpieces of English literature. No
more appealing heroine than the many
slded Julie has been created in fiction.
In TINS story Mrs. Ward has abandoned
the dldactic tone of some of her earlier
books, and has given US an intensely
qlHaTiat, story story, brilliant picture Of
striking character study. The book is,
frst OF all, a good story with an
ending Which could not be more logical,
more satisfying, and more idyllically
beautiful. Beyond that, if the reader
cares to look for it, lit is a remarkable
study In heredity and in the psychology
of women Throughout the novel brilliant
scenes of London society at its best sue
coed each other with dramatic rapidity.
II Is unquestionably Mrs. Wards greatest

The Good Novel.

Mr.. Garland very truly says q novel
should blend, if it be true to life, the
bad with the good, but this does not
necessarily mean that it must deal with
criminals, degenerates and detectives.
He draws comparison between lola
and Howells. calling The latter the true
