ERROR IN WORD PUTS
THE JOKE ON DEHM
a Misplaced "the'' Makes Him a
Drinker and Causes Suppress
sion of "The Occident."

BERKELEY, Oct. 3.-Such little
word as "the" was responsible for the
suppression to-day of this weeks
entire edition of The Occident
Magazine, the college periodical.
Where "a" should have been "the"
crept and and caused so much
talk and scandal that Editor Angus
tin G. Keane decided that rather than
hurt anybody's feelings the magazine
should be consigned to the furnace.
The error occurred in a story by
Lawrence ]. Kennedy, under the title
Beer and 'Baccy." While endeavor-
ing to show that college men drink
beer and smoke like other human be-
ings the author pointed out a number
of men prominent in college affairs
who indulge in these pastimes. Re-
ferring 10 these students he said:
I'm the center of one group will be
found a Phi Beta Kappa, in another
the A. S. Z. G. PreX; perhaps there
will be a bunch of college journalists
in evidence; the college yell leader
forms the nucleus for another group"
The "A. S. L. c. Prex" means the
president of the associated students
of the University of California. This
is Harry Dehm, who, as the holder of
the most dignified office in the gift of
the students, objected to being pro-
claimed as a man of bibulous habits,
when he is not. A conference was
held then, and with the result that
every number of the paper was gath
cred up and destroyed.

8 ALAMEDA, Oct 3.-Through pain
fully tickling the hind legs of a horse
with a straw, Arthur Sannebeck, aged
10, received a terrible kick in the abb
domen, which caused his death this
evening while he was lying on an op-
Grating table at the Alameda Sani-
tarium. The lads intestines were rup-
tured by the blow from the horses
hoof and the operation was tried as
a last resort to save the little fellows
life.
Young Sonnebeck. who lived with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs August Son
nebeck, on Central avenue, sustained
the fatal injury while romping last
evening in a lot near his home with
several playmates. In spirit of fun
he took long straw and utilized 1t in
striking the legs of a horse confined
in the lot. The animal drove out one
of its feet and struck the lad in the
stomach, knocking him down. Ar
thur made his way home and during
the night his condition became seri-
Gus. DR.. Daniel Crosby was sum-
naoned and this evening the patient
was brought to the Alameda Sani-
tarium, where DR.. G. G. Bull and DR..
Crosby operated upon him, but failed
to save his life.

a Company's Shortage Of
Forty Thousand Dollars
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 3.-Mrs.
Maude Hamilton, a pretty stenogra-
pher, receiving salary of Sc a week,
is blamed for shortage of $40, 900 or
thereabouts, which has been discovered
In the accounts of the Iowa LiIliolet
Gold Dredging Company and Hawkeye
Company, organized for the purpose of

Columbia. Mrs. Hamilton has a re-
Gently acquired penchant for exquisite
gowns and luxurious equipages, in
which she often appears on the street.
She admits that she burned certain
records of the two companies, but
claims she was directed by her en-
ployers to do so.
The. situation is complicated by an
action in the District Court to declare
Byron A. Bliss, secretary and manager
of the joint companies, insane. his wife
being the plaintiff. The shortage has
caused tumble in value Of the min
ing stock from 80 cents a share to 13
cents share. Hundreds of Iowa peo-
pie. including scores of prominent poll
ticianS, are losers by the sudden drop
in the stock in sums ranging from S. to

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
1915 Broadway. Oct. 8.

1O16 Broadway, Oct. 8.
Judge Ogden to-day decided the
case of Harry N. Morse against the
Board Of Supervisors, in connection
with the contract to build the Mines
Road, in favor of the Supervisors, by
sustaining their demurrer to Morse's
petition for a permanent injunction.
Judge Ogden said that the proper
procedure in such a case was by writ
of certiorari As this had been tried
and failed, the case is supposed to be
finally settled, now that a demurrer to
the injunction proceedings has also
been sustained.
The Supervisors awarded to w. J.
Schmidt of Berkeley the contract to
construct the Mines Road. Harry N.
Morse, candidate for Supervisor,
sought to block the proceeding by
petitioning for an injunction. He de-
clared that private persons and not
the public were to be benefited by the
road.
