bound Southern Pacific overland linn
ited this morning at 1875 o'clock, and
had it not been that the flyer was slow
ing down to stop at the Sixteenth street
depot number of passengers would
have been killed or injured. The wreck
occurred about a hundred yards south
Of the Sixteenth street depot, the loco
motive, tender and four cars leaving
the rails and plowing through the ties
and ballast for almost two hundred
feet. When Engineer William Scott
finally brought the train to standstill
the engine was tilted so far over that
1t seemed as if it must fall on it's side,
the tender was torn from it's trucks
and upset and the baggage and mail
cars, a composite coach and the dining
car were off the rails, the baggage car
being partly across another track The
other four cars, all Pullman sleepers,
kept to the rails, and the passengers all
escaped with only bad shaking up.
The wreck occurred just five minutes
after the train had left the Oakland
mole, and for few moments after the
train had come to a stop the passen-
, gers were badly frightened. The four
Pullman coaches were at once sent
back TO the mole, where a new train
was made I'D and sent east by way Of
Niles. Traffic on the main line was
completely blocked. and passengers to
and from Berkeley were forced to alight
and walk around the wreck.
AS soon as the wreck occurred word
was sent to the West Oakland yards,
and a wrecking crew was soon at work
clearing the line. c. c. Burton, super
intendent of the Pullman department;
Master Mechanic Russell and General
Foreman French of the Oakland yards
directed the work of clearing the wreck,
and at a late hour tonight traffic over
the main line was resumed.
The wrecked train was in charge Of
Engineer William Scott, Fireman Paul

charge of Conductor ]. w. Deming.
The cause of the accident has not yet
been definitely ascertained, but the rail-
road men believe it was due to the

liberty, no matter if he went to the

The murderous declaration, heard by
Jailer Bert Curtis, Attorney James
Greeley and Frank Addiago, the pris-
oner's son, was the basis of the issu-
ance of a second warrant of arrest
against Addiago, already Jailed on
charges of having brutally beaten and
kicked his spouse.
Addiago was venting his wrath upon
Mrs. Addiago because she had caused
his arrest on the battery charge upon

PREP ARES HIS
ANNUAL REPORT
President Wheeler Makes
Recommendations to the
State Legislative Body
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call.
2148 Center Street, Dec. 80.

2148 Center Street, Dec. 80.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler has
given to the university printing office
the copy for his annual report to the
State Legislature. The report is con-
sidered the most important paper is
sued from the university during the
year, embodying, as it does, a compre-
hensive review of the work accom-
plished by the university. The presi-
dent has permitted none to see copies of
the document, and it is not to be made
public. in it's entirety, until the clerks
Of the Assembly and Senate announce
that they have for reading a report
from the president of the State Univer-
sity"
1t is known, however, that principal
feature of the presidents paper will be
his recommendation regarding the
needs of the agricultural college of the
university. 1t is desired that the Leg
islature appropriate at least 100000 for
new agricultural college building. and
an appropriation for the establishing
of an experimental farm and dairy at
some convenient place outside of
Berkeley.
President Wheeler, instead of asking
for number of small appropriations,
will suggest the giving of a Iurnp sum.
to be expended as the regents shall
deem best. This action is in line with
the advice Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture to President
Wheeler The appropriation referred to
now, however, would not include the
money needed for the new agricultural
college building, to be erected in ac-
| cordance with the plans for the greater
university.
The State Farmers Institute, held at
the university few months ago, ad-
vised better understanding between
the University men and the agricultur-
al interests. Resolutions were unanf-
mously adopted, approving of the plan
to ask the Legislature for 5000, 900 for a
new agricultural college, and such
other moneys as might be needed
