Jack" called a meeting the
night before the election to at
tend the pole-raising.
"Well, sir" writes Bud Brew
err, 81 never saw bigger crowd
at the countyseat in my life than
there was that day. There were
big delegations headed by brass
bands from every corner of the
county, and the Republicans were
green with envy. There was a
number of speeches, but the
principal event was the raising
of the 100-foot hickory pole,
which was about twenty-five feet
higher than the elm pole raised
by the Republicans on the other
side of the public square earlier
in the campaign. While the pole
bearing the Ameoican flag and a
free silver streamer, was being
raised, Jack stepped upon the
platform and fairly carried the
hearers away with his oratory, as
he paid his respects to the magni-
ficent emblem of Democracy that
lowered before him-and the
band played and the spectators
cheered. That evening Jack was
congratulated from all sides.
"But great was the peoples
Indignation, almost, regardless of
party, the next morning, when it

pioneering he could have done.

A Whistler Anecdote.

Clyde Fitch, after a long stay
in Switzerland, has returned to
his country house, at North Cos
cob, Conn. He said there the
other day:
"Anecdotes of Whistler are

"They told me that Whistler
was in Paris at the time of the

Irishman's Chivalric Choice.

NEIGHBORS GO TO COURT
TO SETTLE A DISPUTE
Ancient Sewer Cause of Falling Out
Among People of Lakeside
District,

OAKLAND, Nov. 1S.-W. NJ. Kales
prominent in social circles, replies to
his neighbor, George H. Wheaton, in
an answer filed to-day to the action
begun by Wheaton because of a pri-
vate sewer, which drains the palatial
homes of both in the Lakeside district.
The trouble over the drain has caused
a coldness between the two men.
Wheaton wishes to maintain what
Kales designates a nuisance and the
discord has assumed the dignity of an
action in a court of law.
In a suit begun some time ago Whea-
ton asks for an injunction to stop Kales
from digging up the drain which runs
under his back yard. Twenty years
ago the sewer was a necessity and
several of the residents of that part Of
the city contributed money for it's COM
pletion. Kales says that it is no longer
needed. He says that his neighbors
have no right to maintain it and says
that he has been forced to keep it in
repair himself in order to save his land
from being flooded.

HELLER NOT
TO INTERFERE
President of University
Says Seniors Will Be
Dropped if at Nance's Word
EDITOR ON THE CARPET
w. T. Hale Is Called Before
Faculty and Told That
Editorials Wont Do"
EDITOR ON THE CARPET
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, Nov. IS.


President Benjamin Ide Wheeler to-
day declared that he will not interfere
in the argument sixty-three members
of the senior class are having with
their military instructor about their
conduct three weeks ago in connection
with the riot on the campus over his
marching order, and that if Captain
Nance recommends that the sixty-three
students or any part of that number be
dropped from the class, for cause, he
viii approve the recommendation, and
the seniors will be dropped.
The president said that he had not
received any communications from the
War Department and had not sent any
report of the affair to Washington. This
declaration was made by him in reply
to an inquiry about the correctness of
the editorial statement of the Army and
Navy Journal of New York, which re-
ported, apparently upon authority and
without reservation, that news of the
students riot had come to the depart
ment at Washington and that the uni
Versity authorities had then been ad-
Vised to drop the offending students.
President Wheeler had not seen the
military journals statement, he said.
but made the statement that he neither
had written to Washington nor had
heard from Washington concerning the
students affair with Captain Nance.
Captain Nance said to-day that he
had made no report Of the affair TO
the department at Washington His
report to President Wheeler has not yet
been completed, being now in course
of preparation.
w. T. Hale, editor of the Daily Cali
fornian, was called before the students
affairs committee of the faculty to-day
and told that the tone of his editorials
would not be tolerated. Hale's edito-
rial about the order of Captain Nance,
requiring the seniors to march in or
derly style into his classroom, was par
ticularly objected to by the committee,
which seemed to think that the editO-
rial was undignified and improper, as
the military class was referred to as
military kindergarten" and Captain
Nance as a 'schOolmaster." Hale is on
the list of seniors whose cases are now
in Captain Nance's hands.

NEW WITNESS
IN YOUNG CASE
Writes to Nan PattersOn's
Attorneys That He Saw
BOOkmaker Shoot Himself

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Although two
full court days have been taken up in
securing eight of the twelve jurors who
will decide the fate of Nan Patterson,
who is charged with the murder of
Caesar Young, the incidents in the
courtroom have tended to keep up in
terest in the case. The receipt of
letter telling of an important new wit
ness was the principal incident.
The letter received was written in
German and signed IL. Black" The
writer claims to have witnessed the
struggle in the cab and says that he
saw Young turn the revolver against
his own breast and fire.
Il saw with my own eyes on the
morning of June 4 a man in the cab
with pistol in his hand. A woman
was seated alongside him." says the
writer. Il saw the man raise the pis-
tol, which was in his hand; 1 heard the
shot and ran as fast as 1 could. l kept
quiet until now because 1 thought you
had other witnesses, but for the sake
of the truth l must write you this. l
am willing, should the occasion demand
it, and If you think it worth while, to
appear before Mr.. Jerome and your
self and say that saw the man hold
the pistol in his hand. / am ready to

Ask increase FOR Fire House.

OAKLAND, Nov. 1s.-The Board of
Public Works is not satisfied with the
appropriation of $4,000 made by the
City Council for the erection of new
fire engine house at Golden Gate Fire
Chief n. A. Ball reported TO the board
to-day that this allowance was not
within $500 of enough to erect a
suitable wooden structure to take the
place of the ramshackle building in
use. Ball and the, commissioners were
of the opinion that it would be poor
economy to replace the wooden
house with one of wood. They con-
cluded that if a new structure should
be erected it should be of brick.
To the end that the Council may
consider the advisability of appropriat-
ing $4,000. the estimated cost of a
brick house, the board referred the
proposed allowance back.

Apparatus Which Calcu-

Zl4S Center street, NOV. 10.
Interesting results are being secured
by the astronomical department of the
University of California in the use Of
the Photographic telescope, mounted i'll
the south dome of the new annex to the
observatory last spring. Drs. Crawford
and Gillihan are operating it success
fully in locating the Watson asteroids.
The perturbations of the asteroids are
being calculated at the Students OBJ
servatory by DR.. Newkirk and Miss
Hobe, under the direction of Professor
Leuschner.
During the current month plates have
been exposed ON every clear night to
two asteroids which are now in opposi-
tion, and the asteroids have been found
on every plate.
The Photographic telescope fulfills the
expectations of the members of the de-
partment. The exposures thus far made
are from one to two hours and stars
down to the twelfth magnitude have
been readily photographed. 1t is eX-
pected that on clear nights, with still
longer exposures, stars fainter by sew
eral magnitudes will appear on the
plates.
The Photographic positions which are
now being secured by Drs. Crawford
and Gillihan are of the utmost value in
testing accuracy of the computed per-
turbationS.
