magnificent ball, while Turner, at
third, was star. Jones presided
over first and scooped everything
that came his way. The most spec
tacular play was made by Room
mate" out in left garden. He
caught a high fly in his clown suit
pocket and the faculty quit him
cold. Sillman ran bases like a
scared rabbit, and Eugene Person,
center field, made some graceful
bows to the audience on the hill,
Tommy Woods kept second base
warm and Stanley Jellum did the
tall roofing. After the faculty had
had nine trys at the bat they found
that they had made but FIVE little
scores, while the Seniors had crossed
the home plate eleven times aud
could have had as many more, but
they were too tired to run the bases.

Class Night.

The gigantic jag of jocular jocos-
ity was poured out to crowded but
hilarious audience in the college
chapel on Monday night. From the
time that the second and improved
edition of Lochinvar otherwise Dad
Jellum) cast his heroic shadow on
the pantomine curtain, until that
fresh Freshman, Hooker, was rolled,
things were doing in the vicinity of
the throne of Enoch.
The grand performance was opened
by the w. A c. orchestra, which
played its most inspiring airs. AS
the last crash re-echoed through the
halls, the curtain rolled up, the
knightly Lochinvar galloped in on
his magnificent charger, and the
tragedienne, Miss Downs, appeared
and recited in tones that thrilled her
hearers, the story of Lochinvar
while the audience sat spell bound
and gazed with awe upon the trag-
edy that was acted by the shadows
on the stage. The bridegroom was
an ague-chill freak, and bore some
resemblance to Matt Sillman.
The second act was a scene in the
w. A. c. chapel The curtain rolled
up and the faculty rolled in. Chapel
exercises were opened by President
Bryan, who on this evening seemed
to resemble somewhat that great
genius, Thomas James Woods. The
opening hymn, "Work for the Night
IS Coming, swelled out in the usual
perfect time, tone and volume. AT
ter President Bryan had read from
the Genesis of the w. A. c., Prof.
kimbrough executed a piano solo
with the reckless abandon of true
artist. Many remarked that Prof.
Kimbrough's playing reminded
them somewhat of that renowned
musician, Arthur John Turner.
Prof. Snow, the famed dramatic
reader, then came gracefully for

ward and delivered two gems with
such sublime, delicate pathos that
many believed it might be Eugene
Person.
The deep impression left by Snow
was deepened when Prof. Davis came
forward and told of the salmon,
some of whose eggs were SO small
that they ceased to exist, while
others were so large that they some
times damned the Columbia river.
The wonderful power and depth of
this lecture showed a marvellous
mind. 1t was lecture that would
have done credit to the genius of
Matt Sillman.
Prof. Barry then introduced
ventriloquist who was as talented
as John Jones, while Barry himself
made the introduction with the grace
of Willis Trenner. This ventrilo-
quist made his dummy cute little
thing with curly hair-tell such pa
thetic tales of Ronald Chapman,
Fred Butler and leila Bisbee, and
Charles Schuele and Elma Spauld-
ing that Miss Ma1otte could not re-
strain her feelings, and was COM
PEELED to leave the stage.
Miss Spaulding then appeared
and with the grace and art of Agnes
Downs, recited her little patheticus
Mysterious in a way that touched
the hearts of the audience.
To break the spell, Jellum played
beautiful cornet solo.

Four long years had the Seniors
waited for chance to geteven with
the Faculty, and at last the coveted
time arrived. In the meantime the
Faculty had grown somewhat sus-
picious of the ability of the Seniors
to play ball, and had imported a
new man to do things for them.
DR.. Frazer, the assistant veterina-
rian, came heralded as a world
beaten on the diamond. But the
Faculty were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The new addition to the
team was a pitcher, and Professor
Thyng, the old reliable back-stop,
got a finger smashed, so there was
no one to receive the elusive curves
of the new twirler. So the new
man was placed behind the bat and
Professor Carpenter tossed the ball.
The fun began about / 80 o'clock
in the afternoon, when the Seniors
FIRST appeared upon the campus i'll
their motley garbs and strung out
to practice on the lawn in front of
Science Hall.
The services Of the band and of
two traction engines were secured
and a grand parade pulled off down
town. The Seniors rode on flat
car that was hauled by one of the
engines, and by various artistic
maneuvers aroused the curiosity of
of the many onlookers.
The faculty begged SO hard for
the new baseball suits that the Sen
Tors allowed them to use them, and
they appeared in the first vesture or
raiment that could be found-basket
ball suits, clown suits, Filipino scout
uniforms and just old tramp clothes
adorned the nimble limbs of the
willy Seniors.
The game began promptly at $3.50
o'clock, having been delayed some
because the faculty needed to prac-
tice. Talk about your fun-the
whole game was one continuous
round of gigantic JOY to the on
lockers, of humiliation to the Fac
ulty, and exuberant triumph to
the Seniors. Even Sammy Web
ster could not muzzle the elusive
sphere, and allowed nice easy one
to go wandering by. DR.. Frazer
may be pitcher, but he is badly
handicapped when it comes to
catching. Professor Carpenter has
been on the diamond so much that
his curves were easy for the Seniors,
who landed on him for long, safe
hits at pleasure. Professor Thyng
played hard for the Seniors on first,
and Professor Watt, in his awkward
way, did what he could on third.
ProfessorSnow was the onlyone ofthe
Faculty who really played ball. He
caught long drive to the left gar
den that hit SO squarely i'll his hands
he could not drop it, and twice he
touched all the bases in their order,
thus scoring two lonely runs for the
pedagogues.
For the Seniors, Chas. Prof and
Art Hooper were the battery, and
the Faculty was at their mercy dur
ing the game. Prof pitched national
league ball, and Hooper caught
them all, so but few of the Faculty
even reached the first cushion in
safety.
Art Williams, at short, played

Directors Believe That Com

TOPEKA, Kans., Jan. 30.-General Man
sger Nudge of the Santa Fe to-day said
Of the Santa Fe-Rock Island alliance:
The Santa Fe will build from Dodge City to
Liberal. Kans.. connecting the Santa Fe main
eraI point in New Mexico, where the
Santa Fe cutoff crosses the Rock Island, dis
tance of $50 miles, the Santa Fe will use the
Rock Island tracks. From this point the Rock
Pacific Coast. This will probably blot out the
plan of both roads for rebuilding the here
tofore proposed New Mexico opposition lines.
The plan for rebuilding the Santa Fe's
Pecos Valley lines and the Panhandle di-
vision will come to naught, for the
through traffic of the Santa Fe viii not be
sent through Wichita, Wellington and
Alva, but will go west from Newton to
Hutchinson, Kinsley and Dodge City,
thence south on the proposed new line
to Liberal.
When asked whether or not the Rock
Island has secured any voice in Santa Fe
affairs by means of purchase of stock,
Nudge said:
That is something which know nothing
at all about. All / know is that at present 1t
is the plan to build our lines south from Dodge
City instead of making our main line over the
Panhandle as was contemplated.
The Santa Fe and Rock Island have for
some time been on the verge of a serious
conflict and the consummatiOn of the
traffic alliance has been brought about, it
is believed, by the fear that such con-
fiict might result disastrously to both
roads.
Combination is better than competi-
ton" has been the key to the delicate
situation.

SHERIFFS TOO EXTRAVAGANT
New Officers Make Things Lively
for Secretary Melick

CALL HEADQIJARTERs. SACRAMENTO
Jan 30.-Not the least Of the troubles OF
Secretary Walter S Melick of the State Board
of Examiners IS that of learning the intricate
and multitudinous duties of his office. He
has other troubles and chief among them is
thar Of teaching the new Sheriffs who were
elected in the various counties of the State
what their duties are. At the last election
twenty seven new Sheriffs We're elected and
some of them had had not the slightest ex-
perience In the matter of making out their
vouchers and returns for such business as
that of transporting insane persons to asy-
lums or felons to penitentiaries or sending out
Of the State to return fugitives from justice
who had been captured in other parts Of the
country. In all such matters the officers have
a claim against the State for their mileage
and actual expenses and the experienced OFF,
GERS have long ago learned that all such claims
are closely scrutiniZed and only the proper
and actual expenses allowed
Some of the newly elected Sheriffs. acting
under the impression that their actual expenses
would be allowed. have spent money without
stint. Their bills for meals, say in San Fran
cisco while they on the way to San
Quentin with prisoners, have been high as
to lead TO the suspicion that they hsd been
blowing themselves" Those who have been
thus indiscreet in the matter of expending their
money thinking the State would reimburse
them Will pay for the lesson they VIII have
to learn. for all such bills are pruned to the
last possible degree, and it VIII take large
portion of a months salary for some of the
officers to make up what they have innocently
spent. All of this causes work for the sec
retary CT the State Board OF. Examiners. bu.
he takes 1t philosophically and heartlessly cuts
out improper items from the bills of the
officers.
They will learn in time, said Secretary
Meick to-day. The lesson which we are Civ
ing some of them may prove costly one hut
they win not make the same mistake again
It IL not our purpose to reject any proper and
just claim, but when a Sheriff sends in a bill
containing item of say So for a dinner in
San Francisco we do not think the State
should pay IT and that bill is of course re-
duced and sent back for correction"

MONEY rs TOO SCARCE.
Appropriation for Water and Forest
INQUIRY Cannot Be Large.

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRAMENTO,
Jan 3O.-The Assembly Committee Federal
Relations in executive session this morning
decided to reduce the appropriation asked for
in the bill introduced by Johnson at the re-
quest of the State Water and Forest Associa-
tfon. This is the measure to secure the pas
sage of which prominent Government officials.
especially those OF the Geological Survey, have
appeared before the committees of the Legis
lature and the Governor. Committees repre-
in urging that no changes be made in the bill.
1t provides for the appropriation OF 500. 600
for the joint investigation with the National
Government of the water and forest resources
of the State.
Although il is admitted by the members of
the committees of both houses who have had
the same under consideration that the measure
is a meritorious one there is some doubt as
whether the Governor desires that the ap-
preparation be ordered this time for the
reason that the finances Of the State are
deniably in a worse condition than for many
years. that condition being due TO the policy
of the last administration during it's last two
years in office. Realizing that II the bill
to have any chance at all the amount asked
for would have to be cut, the committee de-
cided to strike out the clause by which II was
intended to expend $50 600 under the direction
in the effort to determine what distribution
and quantity of water is necessary for the pro-
duction of crops in various sections Of the
State. With this amendment the bill will
probably be reported tomorrow. that depend
ing upon whether the members deem 1t advis-
able to make still further reductions in the
proposed appropriations.

n MENTO, Jan. 3O.-The caucus Of
W the Republican members of the
Senate over the resolution intro
duced by Devlin, instructing the
Senators in Congress to vote against the
Cuban reciprocity treaty was held this
morning and the matter was fully dis
cussed. Senator Devlin in support of his
resolution said:
"A treaty has been negotiated between
the United States and Cuba by which if
is proposed to reduce the duty 20 per cent
upon articles raised in Cuba These as we
know are cane sugar, citrus fruits and
ike products. In consideration of this the
United States are to receive a similar re-
duct1on upon manufactured articles. The
whole protective system depends upon the
theory that each agricultural State should
nave that measure of protection neces-
sary to raise its products and each manu-
facturlng State such protection as may be
necessary to prevent ruinous foreign com
petition. But while the Eastern States
may desire to obtain good markets. they
should not do 1t at the expense of Cali
fornia.
MANY thousands of dollars have been
invested in the beet sugar industry in
california, upon the fa.tn of the protec-
tion afforded by Congress. To take this
caway would be act of injustice. The
only benefit that California derives from
the protective system is the aid afforded
to those who grow products of the soil.
Cuba, like California. is a semi-tropicaI
country and its products come in compe-
tition with ours. 1t is our duty to look
after the interests Of California and not
CT foreign countries"
Many of the Senators took part in the
discussion and there was a desire to
learn the feelings Of California's repre-
sentatives in the Senate, Leavitt was in
structed to send telegram to them. An
adjournment was taken until O'Clock and
in the interim Leavitt sent the following
