GOES TO STUDY
LIZARD FOSSILS
Professor John c. Merriam
of University to Visit
the Museums of Europe
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,

Berkeley Office San Francisco Call
214S Center Street June "A.
In order to confirm his belief that
the fossil remains of a great lizard
like animal found in the limestone beds
Of Idaho a year ago is of an entirely
new kind, Professor John G. Merriam
of the paleontology department of
the University of California has gone
to Europe to study the types of the
same order of animal in the museums
there. A report to President Wheeler
published at the university outlines the
plans Professor Merriam viii pursue
in his researches to discover the an
cestry of this strange animal.
Professor Merriam is going to Eu
rope particularly to look into the his
tory of the animal. This gives some
idea Of its Importance to paleontologi-
cal science. 1t is undoubtedly one Of
a new series of prehistoric animals
that roamed the earth ages ago and
long before the surface became settled
into its present land and water divi-
sions. 1t is marine type, and the
proof that the seas washed the land
of that State millions of years ago, be-
fore volcanic eruptions changed the
character of the whole country.
If the animal lived in these days it
would be called a sea lizard. Its scien-
tific name is thallattosauris. 1t differs
but slightly from the ichthyosahrus,
which is another of the marine type
Of the prehistoric animal, resembling
the fish lizard. And while it is difficult
for any but scientists to distinguish
between the two, there is really a great
difference that is important to science
and that is why Professor Merriam is
taking such pains to study the history
of it's companions of a million years
ago now lying under glass cases in
European museums.
Professor Merriam will publish bull
letin descriptive of this animal upon
his return from Europe.

BERKELEY. June 24.-Finely planned
architecture will make the new Califor-
mia Hall one of the handsomest among
the family of structures on the campus
at the University of California. John
Galen Howard, the architect, has con-
trived a building after the Italian re-
naissance-ornate, stately and withal
strikingly picturesque. In drawing his
plans Mr.. Howard has provided for
something that will seem distinctly Cal
ifornian-the tiled roof, so closely con-
nected with the architectural history of
the State since its beginning with the
Spanish missions. The architect has
shaped this work of art, too, so that 1t
will conform to the plans for the great
er university and provide a structure
as practical and substantial as it will
be beautiful.
Steel and stone are to be cut and
welded into shape in the making of this
building The work has already begun
and will go on until next January, by
which time the contractors hope TO give
the university the completed California
two stories to the structure and it's
foundations will cover an area 200 by 20
feet.
On the first floor there will be twelve
classrooms and one large lecture-room
with a seating capacity of 400 people
The entrances will be in the middle of
the east and north sides of the build
ing, with marble staircases leading
from them to the second floor.
The second floor will contain the Of
fees of the university. California Hall
is to be the administrative building.
There will be apartments for the presi-
dent, the recorder. the faculty. the sec
retary. the medical examiner, the di-
rector of university extension ard the
deans.
California Hall is to cost $2o0,000
sum that was provided in special ap-
preparation by the last Legislature. 1t
is designed to take the place of historic
North Hall. 1t will occupy the slope
just in front of North Hall. near the
tennis court and overlooking the cam
pus.

LOSE TO STATE
BY A SCRATCH
If Woman Had Known Step

She Would Be $500 Ahead
JUDGE GREENE DECIDES
Collateral Inheritance Law
Is Subject of a Technl-
cal Judicial Interpretation
JUDGE GREENE DECIDES
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway. June "a.

1915 Broadway, June a.
There is a tide in the affairs of step
children that leads to the saving OF
money if seized at the flood-and Judge
Greene has just rendered a decision
that Illustrates the fact.
If Mrs. Catherine NJ. Sperry had been
I the recognized stepdaughter of the late
Captain Daniel E. Martin for ten full
years preceding his death she would
not have been required to-day to pay
$500 Inheritance taxes. Her brother,
Alfred c.. Mitchler. will be compelled
to pay $3.50 because of the same law.
Mrs Sperry inherited $4,000 and her
brother inherited $4,000 from their step
father. On these inheritances the
State will now collect per cent. Mrs.
Sperry was just three days tardy in
getting within the ten year clause Of
the law. The act exempts inheritances
from taxation in cases where step
children have been recognized as such
for a decennium.
Miss Marie l.. MitchIer. a sister of
the losing litigants. who inherited $50
900, was recognized as a stepdaughter
IOT more Ildn ten years, 50 Sne eS-
capes the tax of $1,000 that would other
wise be due in her case. Captain Mar
tin and the mother of the children had
been married just ten years and one
month at the time of his death. Judge
Greene held that recognition and mar
riage were net synonymous in this
sense and it Immediately threw the
question open to the exact date when
each child had been recognized" as
such by Martin.
Miss Marie L. Mitchler was at home
with her mother at the time of the
marriage. Her time began to count
from the first day and was exempt
from taxation.
Mrs. SpeIry was in England when
the marriage took place. As Captain
and Mrs. Martin left almost immedi-
ately for Europe she met them at Liv-
erpocl very shortly afterward. When
it came to fixing the dates. however.
recollection only served and the Judge
held that the meeting occurred three
days too late 10 come within the time
limit.
Alfred Mitchler, the brother. went to
live at the Martin home with his sis
ter. but did not meet his mother and
father until their return from Eu-
rope.

Ben Greet and his company of Eng
lish players are coming to the Univer-
sity Of California again this year. Be
fore he left the coast last year, after
presenting "Everyman" and Twelfth
Night Greet said he would return,
and now it it definitely announced that
he viii fulfill his promise. Those two
classics were so uniquely and ar
tistically staged that people of culture
were profoundly impressed with them
and wished for the temperance of
the company, which is at last assured
after many anxious months.
Greet's company will present Ham
let" in the Greek open air theater on
the afternoon of September "A. As in
Twelfth Night" the play will be with
out intermissiOns, the immensity of
the stage allowing for a continuous
performance. The company will be
practically the same as last year, eX-
cept that Miss Matthison, whose pow
ers have been so enthusias rically recog-
nized in the East, will be the leading
lady in ths place of Mrs. Rawdon Cav
ley. The details for this dramatic treat
are being arranged by the dramatic
committee. of which Professor William
D. Armes, J. b. Landfield and Lincoln
Hutchinson are the members.
The university public will be regaled
with still another dramatic diversion
later in the year. probably in October
This will be the presentation of Soph-
ocles' Ajax" by the students Of the
Greek department. The students will
be prepared for this by Miss Mabel
Hay Barrows, who gave valuable as
sistance when the same play was
staged IN New York in March last The
costumes used in the New York play
viii be shipped here for the Califor-
MIA production.
In presenting this Greek classic the
university is following up the prece-
dent set last year, when THE Birds
of Aristophanes was given at the dedi-
cation of the Greek Theater. 1t is the
plan TO give at least one Of these an
cient dramas each year in the Greek
Theater with the students themselves

HUSBAND DROPS

Alexander McClOud Leaves

214S Center street, June "a.
Alexander McCloud of the firm of
McCloud & Niehaus, San Francisco.
building contractors, has disappeared
from his home at Cedar street and
Shattuck avenue leaving a family of
three suffering in restitution. Since
Saturday last McCIoud has been
among the vast army of the missing.
His anxious and careworn wife still
believes him innocent of any design to
set her adrift and prays for his re-
turn while she sells the household fur
niture to buy food for herself and two
young girls. She holds to the belief
that he is either a victim of foul play
or of dementia.
McCloud has had a series of busi-
ness troubles lately that might sup
port the theory of mental alteration.
His reverses have reduced him from a
man once prosperous to one barely
able to exc out a living. Under the
pressure of these tribulations he be-
came troubled in mind and his wife
cline in various ways.
My husband has acted so strangely
of late that l feared something like
this would happen to him." said Mrs.
McCloud to-day. Il think his business
troubles must have affected his mind.
He kept saying that he wanted to go
away from this neighborhood. Once
he talked of going to Mexico and may
be he has done so.
Mr.. McCIoud was compelled to
turn over his business to his partner
some time ago when reverses came
upon him. But he engaged in bust
ness again with Ernest Niehaus and
seemed to be getting along well until
week or so before he disappeared.
Then he began to talk queerly. From
that time until he disappeared he did
not seem to be the same man. / can
not help but fear that he has been
foully dealt with or wandered away
somewhere"
Mrs. McCloud and her daughters,
whose ages are II and IA years re-
spectively, are in sad need of money.
They have been compelled to dispose
of all their unnecessary property and
to assist their slender purse by taking
boarders.
