STUDENT RUSH
At STANFORD
SOphOmOres and Freshmen
Meet in a Lively Fight
in the General DOrmitOry
BATTLE FOR AN HOUR
Prominent Members of Both
Classes Are Carried Off
and Treated to Duckings
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 80.
Despite the efforts of the faculty to
prevent any rush between the sopho-
mores and the freshmen, the trouble
that has been brewing during the past
two or three days came tonight. AL
most as soon as the electric lights went
out in Encina Hall. in the big general
dormitory, the rush began. Freshmen
to the number of about 100 gathered in
the vestibule of the hall and the sopho
mores, fewer in number, on the broad
stone walk outside. Upon the steps,
commanding a good view Of the pros
pective battlefield, stood a large num-
Der of the men of the upper classes.
Suddenly, with a yell, the sophomores
came through the big entrance door
like shot and in moment the big
fight was on. The aim Of each side
was to carry away it's opponents to the
bath tubs at either end of the hall and
there was hardly moment that these
did not have from one to two occu-
pants. Special efforts were made to
duck the most prominent members of
each class and several of these went in
three or four times. Owing to their
superior numbers the freshmen had
considerably the best of the argument.
The rush came to an end after an hour,
when the men were all completely woEA
out. No one was seriously hurt
An effort was made by several upper
classmen to prevent the rush, but
without success The trustees of the
university and the faculty are strongly
opposed to rushing Although the rush
was in progress for more than an hour,
no one in authority appeared to sup
press it.

Prisoners Must Serve Full Term.

Sheriff Peter Curtis yesterday no.
tilted the Board of Supervisors that he
would in future refuse to release pris-
.oners from the county jails until their
full terms had expired. 1t has been
customary to allow prisoners whose
conduct has been reported by the of
ficer in charge to be good five days
credits for each thirty days of SEN
tence. Curtis says that he fails to find
any authority or law for this custom.
Curtis says he does not want to as
sumo responsibility of releasing pris-
oners before the expiration of their
terms unless the Supervisors pass an
ordinance giving him that power.

WHY PETERSON DID
NOT LIKE WALTON
NOW CLAIMS THAT PURSER OF
SIERRA GOT AFTER MASTER-AT-
ARMS FOR SMUGGLING MAN.

Charles Peterson, the master-at-arms
, of the S. S. Sierra, was before Judge
Lindsay this morning to answer to a
charge of carrying a weapon obviously
and imminently dangerous to life. Pet
erson drew the revolver on N. C. Wal
ton, Jr. the purser of the Sierra yes
terday but was disarmed before doing
any injury to the purser.
Peterson claimed in the court this
morning that he had tried merely to
protect himself He had not wanted
ito shoot Walton. The court relented
and gave Peterson a severe reprimand.
Judge Lindsay said that while the de-
fendant had perhaps drawn tine weapon
and made a fluff with it, Peterson had
been punished enough. He was mere
without his vessel so the court would
discharge the defendant.
1t is stated that the real cause for the
trouble between Walton and Peterson
was not because Walton shifted the
quarters of the master-at-arms but be-
cause the purser had learned that
Peterson had slowed a man on the YES
sci. Peterson was ordered to pay the
fare Of the man and the threatened
enforcement of this rule, caused the
master-at-arms to entertain resentment
toward the purser

it is rumored that the arrest of Nc
Phetridge is only the beginning of dis
closures of Irregularities of a most
sensational nature. The cigars that
McPhetridge is said to have smuggled
are understood to have come from the
U. S A. Transport Sherman, not from
the Thomas, the last transport here.
Both the United States Attorney and
the Collector Of customs absolutely re-
fused to discuss the case or to certify
to the correctness of the story that fur
ther arrests are contemplated
McPhetridge who has been in the en-
ploy of the army department for some
years has ALWAYS borne an excellent
character. He is a married man OF
middle age living with his wife at 146S
Nuuanu Avenue. Mrs. McPhetridge IS
at present visiting in California. He
was appointed to the department from
San Francisco.
The penalty provided for conviction
on such a charge as that which has
been placed against the army clerk is
confisca ton of the smuggled goods, d
fine of not less than $50 or more than
$1,000, or Imprisonment for not more
than two years, or both fine and inn
prisonment

The regular quarterly meeting of the
Merchants Association was called this
afternoon at the rooms of the organiza-
ton in the Young Building. The prln-
cipal business considered was the report
of the special committee appointed to
inquire into the matter of steamship
transportation, with a view of securing
lower rates from the steamship com
panies. George w. Smith was in the
chair and Col. j. H. Soper secretary.
President Smith stated that the pur-
pose of the meeting was to consider
some important matters affecting their
interests. I'VE are not moving" he
continued "in any way to antagonize
any of the business interests of the ter.
ritory. On the contrary, we seek the
cooperation of all interests with the
end in view of bettering the financial
and business conditions of the islands.
I'VE all know that conditions have
been better in the past, we all know
that conditions at the present time are
very much depressed, we all hope that
they will be better in the future, but
hoping alone will not bring about, gem
tlemen, the situation we seek.
1T is only by hearty cooperation, by
the sinking of minor differences by
mutual concessions and an amicable
understanding that We can bring to-
gether the elements that will conduce to
general prosperity. No element can
afford to be ignored or antagonized.

sugar factor with his interests. the

to attain it.
1--WE have here all of the essentials
that go to make a prosperous commu-
nifty. We have scenery, climate lands
and other natural resources.
I'VE have transportation facilities,
hotel accommodations, mercantile es-
adjustments and all that go to make
a prosperous community on the main
land; yet, we are suffering from de-
preston the causes of which are va
rious and on which all of our citizens
do not agree.
Let us hope that from this meeting
we may take a better understanding,
a greater hope and a stronger determi-
nation to bring back that which we
have lost and to build a firm foundation
on which to erect prosperity and
wealth"
Smith announced that the report
of the special committee on transporta-
tion which had already been made pub
lie, was to be considered. McTner-
ny announced that Rothwell of the
committee desired to make some re-
marks on the subject, but as Roth
well was not present it was requested
that the consideration of the report be
passed temporarily This was done.
A letter from Acting Governor At1in-
son was read. This letter asked the as
sistance of the merchants in securing
necessary information regarding the
general condition here, for the purpose
of having such information used in the
preparation of the Governors annual
report to Washington. The letter sug-
gested that the merchants would in all
likelihood know the causes for the pres
ent depression, if any, and might also
make suggestions as to what in their
opinion would be the best methods by
which the Federal Government could
relieve the situation.
Mr.. Smith said that the best method
would be to appoint committee to pre-
pare the information that the Governor
desired. A general discussion then fol-
lowed.

ST. LOUIS, July Had it not been

would have been treated the same as
was the island at the Republican con-
vention. At the meeting of the Com
mittee on Credentials it was moved by

stead of six, Hawaii be given but two
votes
This was about to be carried when
Keyes insisted that Hawaii had a ter
rltorial governn ent, similar in every
respect to all the mainland territories,
and was entitled to full representation.
SO Hawaii was given her six votes.

MORE PARkER RANCH TROUBLE.
Action has been commenced in the
Third Circuit Court, Kailua, against
Samuel Parker charging him with con-
tempt. The alleged contempt lies in
the action which Parker has brought
against the Metropolitan Meat Com

This is construed to be unwarranted
interference with the receiver for the
ranch appointed by Judge Mathewman.
