PAPA AND MAMA
TO HEAR NEWS
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
Pas Center Street. Nov. 20.


President Benjamin Ide Wheeler was
solicited to-day for exact and authentic
news of the fate of the fourteen seniors
upon whose cases Captain Nance has
made report to the president, but de-
spite all appeals from the anxious men
and their friends no news was given
out that tended to allay the anxieties
or confirm the fears of the seniors who
are in suspense and have been for three
weeks.
President Wheeler explained that he
purposes consulting the parents of the
men who are accused by Captain
Nance. Because the president states
that he is going to write to the parents
Of the men before taking action it is
the general belief in the university that
Nance has recommended severe punish
ment for most of the fourteen men.
No news of the fate of the accused is
to be given out by the authorities until
replies from the parents of the men af-
fected have been received. The presi-
dent refuses to give the names of the
men, and Captain Nance is equally reti-
cent, pursuing the course that he has
maintained since the beginning of his
conflict with the senior class.

Her death took place in the Bruins
wick home at Amityviile, l.. l., where
for the last four months she had been
a private patient as a charge of the
actors fund. Paralysis and general
debility were the immediate causes of
death.
Madame Janauschek had the same
hold on the affections of the public as
have Mrs. Gilbert, Clara Morris ana
Madame Modjeska. She was a Bo-
hemian by birth and had reached the
age of IA She became prominent as
an actress first in her own country and
later in Germany. In 1867 she came TO
the United States, first performing IN
German, and after thorough study or
the English language she appeared IN
such characterizations as DeDoran,
Mary Stuart, Queen Elizabeth, Lazy
Macbeth, Meg Merrillies and Blantea-
Her retirement from the stage was an
nounced in 1891. but the next year she
appeared in a play entitled The Har-
vest Home" Several years later she
again appeared in THE Great Dia-
mond Robbery" interpreting the char
acter of a typical eastside fence"
keeper.
1t was in July. 1900. that Madame
Janauschek first suffered from an at
tack of paralysis. She went 10 st.
Mary's Hospital. remaining there for
six months She then went to Saratoga
Springs and remained there under the
constant care of Dr. James E. Kelly of
that place.
On April IL, 1901, benefit perform
ance was given for her at Wallack
Theater in which many prominent ac-
tors and actresses took part. This gave
her approximately $4,000. In her later
years Madame Janauschek lost all her
wealth and was forced to sell the cos
TUNES she had used in her previous
lengthy stage career as well as her

ERRINC CLERK
RETURNS COIN
Embezzler Kellogg Makes
Good Cash Taken by Him
From Office at Berkeley
HE PLEADS FOR MERCY
Government Official Lays
Facts in Case Before the
United States Attorney
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,

Berkeley Ohice San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, Nov. 2s.
With a pathetic plea for mercy ac-
companying the act. Oliver NJ. Kellogg,
the self-confessed postoffice embezzler,
to-day turned over TO Postmaster
Schmidt slG4 IL, the full amount Of the
money taken by him three months ago
Kellogg disappeared from Berkeley
when he felt apprehensive that his
stealings would be detected and fed TO
the southern part Of the State. He left
q sick wife. TO whom a child was born
shortly after he disappeared. When the
report of his wife's illness reached him
he hurried home and has been in Berke-
ley for five weeks. though none save
the members Of his family have known
that he was here.
The plea for mercy is made by Kel-
legg on the ground that he took
trifing sums TO pay debts contracted
while his wife was sick, and that when
he feared these thefts would be found
out he became so frantic that he lost
self-control, stole about $3.50 and de-
camped with the money. His salary in
the postoffice was $50 a month. He
married, and says il was almost impos-
sible for him TO pay expenses, hence
the stealings which he now admits.
Postmaster Schmidt told Kellogg that
the case could not be controlled by the
local ONCE. but must go to the Federal
authorities. Inspector L. II. Bricker
was called in. He took no action to-
ward arresting Kellogg, merely laying
the facts Of the case before United
States District Attorney Marshall
Woodwork in San Francisco.

crime. that they met a police officer
near the scene of the shooting. All of

a man lettering in the street, but gave
no thought to the stranger. AS HOWE
got alongside of the pedestrian the
man made sudden jump at the cy-
clist and swung heavy blow at
Howie's head. commanding him 10
hold up his hands. The wheelman
cIouched and lodged the blow and
made a dash down the street. Before
he had run 100 feet a second man,
mounted on bicycle, started out or
the darkness in pursuit Of HOWE, who
turned off on the sewer covering and
outdistanced the other highwayman.
After shaking off his pursuer HOWE
rode across to terra firma and con-
tinued his journey home. He told the

questionably robbers, as they came up
on him with every appearance of evil

There is a hitch in the organization
of the Board of Engineers that is to in
vestigate the Bay Cities Water Com
pany's properties with relation to the
proposal to install a municipal water
supply of 2OOOO,OOb gallons a day
for Oakland. The companys repre-
sentative, A: NJ. Hunt, and City En-
gineer F. c. Turner, after three confer
ences to-day. failed to reach an agree
mentas to the third engineer who shall
be chosen TO complete the board.
City Engineer Turner has selected an
engineer, whose identity he will not
disclose, as the man he desires shall
be that third representative on the
commission. The name was presented
to Enginee~ Hunt and did not prove
satisfactory. Turner in return an
nounced practically that he should in
sist upon his mans being named. Hunt
replied by submitting several names,
none of which appealed to Turner.
In explanation of his position, Turner
said tonight:
THE city of Oakland has a great
deal at stake in this matter. l feel
certain that the third man on this
board. who might have deciding voice
in the report. should be one satisfactory
to me as the representative of oakland
In other words it seems to me that the
city should have the nami-.g of the odd
man. The engineer whom / have in
mind is, in my opinion, the best man
on the coast for the work that is ahead
of us. l feel quite insistent on this
point because of the city's vast inter
ests. While Mr.. Hunt has not definite
ly refused to accept my man he has not
looked upon him with far.

morrow

oN the Baltimore and Ohio railroad II
is said, or guessed, that he is worth
:ao,0o0,00O. You can hear young
clerks in every boarding house. yor
can hear old loun9ers at every coun-

caring, with all ferver of conViction,
that nobody has a chance to rise "un-
less he has pull" Well, Mr.. Davic
must have had pull" but it was
inside of him; it was adaptablity, l.;
was pluck.
AS he is now candidate for polit-
ical Office. it will be necessary to tel
lies about him. Meanwhile. let us
hope fervently that one tale told
,ahout him is true. This says that
cna day when he was member of the
United States senate, where he re-
n.ained for two terms, he paid an in
evitable compliment to the eloQuence
|of a distinguished Repuhliea colleague,
who was making short speech Of four
hours, by going 10 sleep. He was
snoring placidly and loud, when AL
Z len G. Thurman, the "old Roman" of
Ohio, rose to make reply to the ven
cradle bore.
Mr. Thurman's red bandana" was
famous in its day as the oriflamme
OF Henry Of Navarro. Applying the
red bandana to his nose of power, tbs
c4d Roman blew two mighty blasts
Mr.. Davis thought he was on steer
&lade on his West Virginia noun

led down brakes. He jumped up. got
sterp grip on the top of the desk
and tried to twist it off.
Politics apart, one likes to think OF
