SEARBY TELLS
OF OPPOSITION
Former Member of State
Board of Pharmacy Is
the Last Witness Called
INVESTIGATION ENDED
Report VIII Be Rendered
as Soon as the Books Are
Examined by Commission

The last witness was examined yes
terday in the investigation Of the State
Board Of Pharmacy and after the
books and other belongings Of the
board are thoroughly examined by the
commission the report OF the inves-
tfsstion viii be forwarded to Cover
nor Pardee, along with written sug-
sestions from each member of the
board as TO how the State pharmacy
laws could be amended.
Professor Searbsr, a former member
OF the board, ,.'as the principal wit
ness during the day. BE criticized the
members Of the board for drawing IS
q day as expenses when they were at
tending a meeting out Of town.
Professor Finger interrupted and
asked him if he did not vote for
resolution TO allow the members s. per
day for expenses. Searby denied hav-
ing voted that way and said he voted
against it.
i handed in a bill Of $50 to the
finance commission for four days" he
said. They advanced me $40, When
objected 10 taking. This caused a
great deal Of wrangling by the board.
Mr. Waller came TO me and said that
Il I refused to take this money it would
put the rest Of the members in a bad
light I reluctantly consented to &C
cept II"
Finger again inquired if Searby did
not vote to pass a resolution allow
ing the members SO per day as expenses
along with their per diem. Searby
said ne did, as the members were COM
planning that they were incurring ex-
penses on themselves and he voted
for this as a compromise.
That harmony did not prevail while
Searby was a r Der Of the board is
evinced by the fact that the minute
book shows that on voting to issue GER
tifcates Of credentials Searby was con-
tinually on the opposite side. Searby
was not sure il il was a difference Of
judgment. but he thought that the
other members Of the board were pro-
gramming against him.
Searby testified that it had been the
custom Of the previous boards on which
he had served to preserve the examina
ton papers of students for two years
This board did not do so. As soon
as the members finished marking the
examination papers they had the rat
ings recorded and they then destroyed
the papers. Thus if a pupil should
come 10 contest the markings Of the
examiner he had nothing TO substan-
tiste his ratings. easily giving students
q chance TO whisper scandal
Judge Davis asked Searby if the Col
lege Of Pharmacy Of the University Of
California took up the subject of toxi-
cOlOgy. He said that they did not
treat il as an individual branch, but
the work was covered in other courses.
He said that. students from the Uni
versity Of California should have been
able 10 answer the questions given by
the examiner on this subject
At the conclusion of the day Judge
Davis asked the board if they were
dissatisfied with the examination in
any respect and II they wanted to call
any other witnesses The members of
the Pharmacy Board all agreed TO close
the examination and admitted that
they had been given a fair trial.

their partnership in the cosmetic
business at 242 Post street and for
the return of $500 in cash and notes
for $500, which he gave for a half
interest in her business upon the rep
resentation that it would pay him at
least 500 a month. A suit on the
same lines was recently brought by a
man to whom Dudley assigned his
claim, but the new action is an evil
dence of his intention to prosecute the
case himself.

A trophy we'll worth warning for and
to be treasured when won, consists Of
the splendid punchbowl, salver, ladle
and cups designed and made by Ham
mersmith & Field. manufacturing jew
elers, which is to be one of the prizes
Of the coming knights Templar COM
petitive drill. The set is certainly a
perfection of the goldsmith's art, car
ried along in a design true to nature
and with its primitive quaintness pre-
served in the minutest detail West
ernesque in idea, the Indian, the for
est and the camp are seen wherever
the engraver's tool has touched.
Every piece Of this noble collection
is of copper, dull red and rich, with
ornaments and mountings of silver.
The lining of the great bowl, of the
cups and the lesser bowl of the ladle
| is Of gold. The big chalice measures
seventeen inches from side to side and
stands fifteen inches high. The circu-
lar salver is thirty inches in diameter.
On the rim of the bowl are two silver
Indian heads beautifully modelled, with
four bear heads in the same metal dis
tributed at intervals between them.
There are also two silver coats of
arms-not Of the swords, spears and
battleaXes of the crusader, but of
graceful design of the ruder weapons
of the red warrior of the West. In fact
the designer of this grand bit of work
approaches the knightly East only in
the necessary inscription on the bowl
and the cross with its conquering sign.
The victorious Templars carrying home
this trophy will see only California in
their prize.
The base of the bowl is mounted with
real arrowheads Of flint, jasper, agate
and obsidian onyx. all neatly attached
to il. The red copper salver is rim
med and mounted in silver arrowheads
and other Indian designs. The most
unique, as well as artistic features of
this part of the set are the two handles
of buckhorn on the edge of the great
metal plate. The horn is chosen in its
natural shape and bound on with silver
thongs. In the center of the salver is
field TO be filled in with the name of
the crack drill team that gains this
gallant trophy. The ladle is of sterling
silver. its bowl gilded and the handle
/ is a rare piece of stag horn. The cups
are in perfect keeping with the rest Of
the set The whole is novel, fitting,
rich and beautiful, a noble memento Of
California and the Twenty ninth Tri-
ennial Conclave.
THOUSANDS ON THE WAY.
Fully 500 standard Pullman cars
] have been engaged by the different
{ transportation companies for the spe-
cial Templar trains coming from east
Of the Rocky Mountains. 1t is diff
