REBUFF GIVEN CLAIM
OF ALLEGED PRINCE
British Authorities Decide That RAM
ina Aranancha Singh Is Not Son
of Late Maharajah of Lahore.

/ OAKLAND, Nov. 1.-THE hopes of
Prince" Ramina Aramancha Singh,
the Hindu in Jail here, that through
the efforts of the British Consul at
San Francisco he might be enabled to
prove his claim that he is true son
of the late Maharajah of Lahore, were
blasted to-day by the receipt of the
following letter:
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 10. 19of-Mr.
Ranjit Singh, I6O Washington Street, Oakland.
Sir With reference to your previous letter
and to one received to-day L have to acquaint
you that l forwarded your original letter to
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in
quiring what action, If any, the Secre tary of
State for India would like to have taken on
your appeal, and in reply was informed that
the Secretary of State for India had every
reason to believe that the late Maharajah had
only three legitimate sons, all by his first
marriage with Maharani Bamba- That two Of
these Princes Victor and Frederick as to
whose identity there can be no question. whilst
the third son. Albert Edward, known to
have died at Hastings oE May l. 1893.
In consequence Lord Brodrick asked Lord
Lansdowne that 1 should be informed that the
l should give you any assistance. l regret
therefore to be unable to entertain any fur
ther appeals from you for aid In establishing
your identity. I sir, your obedient servant
c. w. BENNETT Consul General
In regard to the letter Singh said
that he never died at Hastings in
1899, but was sent by his stepmother
to America. 1t Is easy enough to
deny that l am a Prince, but if L am
not, who am /? Some one paid for
my education and training. 1 certain
ly did not earn the money spent upon
me?" he said.

Two valiant defenders Of the game
OF football turned up at the university
meeting to-day, when Regent Charles
S. Wheeler OF the class of SO and John
r. Glascock, "a, who are now prom
inent in the public life of the State,
stood sponsor for the gridiron con-
tests in which the modern university
takes so deep an interest. Each speak
er lauded the game that is played with
ptgskins. defending it from the at
tacks made upon 1t recently at the
university by Professor HowisOn and
by William Greer Harrison.
Professor Howison called the game
barbarous and brutal and Harrison had
referred to 1t as merely ''head-on col
Hsion," in which chivalric ideas could
have no place.
Regent Wheeler to-day spoke Of foot
ball as worthy Of comparison with the
high standard Of Grecian games Of old,
declaring that the ideal of the an
clients was not superior to the stan
dards Of modern college spOrtsmen in
their flames on the modern football
field.
Mr.. Glascock, a former Mayor Of
Oakland, followed Regent Wheeler
with a vigorous defense Of the game.
IN which he said that IL did more than
anything else to develop college spirit
in the thousands of students who make
up university's life.

Just think of H-four important weddings
next week. to say nothing of the teas card
parties. luncheons and musicales that are all
full of delightful promise.
Even Sunday will have its quota, the r. A
Brays having hidden dozen guests to their
Piedmont home to meet Miss Daisy Wingate

JACK LONDON'S WIFE
OBTAINS HER DIVORCE
DESER7/ON ONLY CHARGE PRESSED
RIGHTS SETTLED

Louis Trankenstein filed afidavits In
court to-day to support the charges
made against Ida Frankenstein, In
which he alleges that he discovered
strange man making a hurried exit
through a rear window of their home
and that his wife had failed to explain
the incident. He did this to show that
he had grounds for complaint against
her and to show animus in her having
tied up his working capital by intunc-
ton proceedings. BY the order OF the
court he was allowed to draw his
money from the bank and now says
that he will begin a divorce suit.
An interlocutory decree Of divorce
was granted Clara E. Brady from
Harry l.. Brady on the ground Of will
full neglect.
Mary Grace Carr was granted a d.
vorce from Thomas K. Carr upon the
same ground and awarded the custody
Of the children.

OAKLAND, Nov. 1.-THE Oakland
Police Department scandal has stirred
the city 10 the depths. To-day the
wretched thing broke through the wall
OF convenient designations built up to
shield four members Of the force who
are self-cOnfessed thieves, according TO
the evidence in the hands Of Chief Of
Police Hodgkins. The Board of Police
and FIRE Commissioners refused to-day
to accept the designations Of Sergeant
Of Police Charles Z. Clark and Patrol
men Lee +. Andrews, J. T. Stahl and
Charles W. Hamerton. BY unanimous
vote the Commissioners summarily
dismissed the quartet from the force
and ordered Chief Of Police Hodgkins
10 turn over to Prosecuting Attorney
A. P. Leach all Of the evidence against
the men, that steps may be taken to
prosecute all Of them on criminal
charges.
Further than that. John E. McElroy
president OF the board, directed Chief
Hoogkins to take into custody each one
OF the accused.
In compliance with this order. Chief
Hoogkns made a search that failed of
its purpose. Neither Andrews nor
Clark could be found. Hamerton was
not arrested during the daytime. all
though he was seen this morning on
Broadway.
President McElroy announces that
there will be a complete overhauling

upon whom the slightest suspicion
rests viii be investigated President
McElroy declares that he will not be
satisfied until there is certainty that
no mans name is upon the roll of the
department at whom the finger of sus-
picion can be pointed
MEN ARE DISMISSED.
Without comment, after a short exec
utive session to-day the Board Of Com
missioners swept aside the profered
resignations Of the men who stand
accused Of using their positions to
plunder those whom they were paid to
protect The Board Of Police Commits
Eioners quickly decided that a Ienient
course Of permitting designations was
inimical to the public welfare and the
good Of the Police Department.
The board met in open session at 4
o'clock, after hearing the statements Of

TOO MANY CO-EDS," SAYS
UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR

BERKELEY. Nov. 11.-Professor
George Howison, who has denounced
football games and newspaper report
ers, the former of which he said were
brutal and barbarous and the latter
were lost souls. yesterday declared in
a lecture on ethics before his class in
philosophy that the "co-eds'' at the
university were too numerous for the
good of the earnest and competent
students.
Professor Howison said woman's
curiosity was proverbial and usually
concerned itself with trivial matters.
1T is the university's aim to direct
that curiosity toward worthy and
noble subjects" added the professor,
but there are so many women stu
dents that they lower the standard of
thinking and make 1t necessary for
teacher to water his remarks so as
to make them Ineligible to minds
that are unripe and insuff1ciently nour-
ished in large and rich conceptions"

The final curtain was rung down on
the unhappiness of the married life of
Mrs. Elizabeth London and her hus-
band, Jack London. the story writer,
by the granting of her petition for a.
divorce on the ground Of desertion.
They have been married little more
than four years, but for more than a
year they have not lived together.
While away in China, as a cor
respondent London wrote and urged
his wife to get divorce and she began
an action. The charges in the first
complaint, however. were not pressed.
London returned from China and a
settlement of the property interests of
the pair was effected out OF court. A
second action was begun, the allega-
tion being desertion. She also Is
awarded the custody Of the two minor
children.

AMERICAN
BAND
June Fl Only Open Date Left
During Season.

There are at present three bands of
national repute which are foremost in
the country today: Brooks's of Chi
cago, Sousa's OF N. Y, and Reeves
American of Providence
BY fortunate chance Bennington
has been able to secure the last named
band for its only single engagement Of
this season. This organization will
be here for one night June 2lst, on
It's way to Saratoga for It's annual
engagement at the Carbuilder's Con-
vention at which it has played for
decade or more.
From that time on until fall not one
open date is left until the Band goes
to ST. Louis where it is generally con-
ceded that the American will maintain
its reputation as far as Americas
greatest band.
From the above statement the COM
position and playing qualities of the
band can readily be judged without
further comment.
Just word must be said OF the re-
markable list of soloists which help
make the American Bands success.
Church the finest cornet soloist in
America needs no recommendation to
Bennington as they have had opportu-
nifty of listening to him.
Spary, the trombonis, is Pryor's on
ly acknowledged rival. LeMaire, is
one of the few only great clarinet solo
lists. Padley, combiner, the qualities
of wonderful piccolo soloist and per-
feet flute player. Hama is a violinist
OF European training and fame.
Varrato is the euphonium soloist
who shares company with these re-
markable artists, and Pitten is the
world7champion mandolin player, hav-
ing won this title two months ago at
Carnegie Hall, in competition with
the leading mandolin players Of the
world.
