SUPERVISORS REFUSE
TO FURNISH DATA
Gathering of Information
Asked by Agricultural So
ciety Would Cost $4,000.

OAKLAND, Aug. 2S.-The Board of SUI
peryisors this morning referred to the
District Attorney the request of the State
Agricultural Society for data concerning
the value and quantity of the products OF
Alameda County. He was asked to give
an opinion as to whether or not the law
recently passed requiring the collection of
such data was valid or not.
When It WAS found that the collection
of the data would cost the county about
$4,000 and take months of time, the board
decided to first find out the status of the
new law. The Horticultural Commission
ers have reported to the board that it is
too late to begin the collection Of data
this year, as many of the crops are en-
tirely gone.
County Auditor G.. W. Bacon has replied
to the communication of the Board of Su-
pervisors, which requested that he fur
nish an immediate estimate as to what 1t
will cost to operate the county govern
ment for the ensuing fiscal year. The Au-
dftor asks that the Supervisors furnish
him with an estimate of the probable ex-
pense of road work, bridge building and
other work done by them during the year

GREAT VITALITY
Of NO AVAIL
Alexander Weyeneth Finally
Succumbs to Injuries Re-
ceiyed in Shaft Accident

ALAMEDA. Aug. 2S.-After making a
remarkable battle for life for twenty-four
days with both sides of his skull crushed
in, as the result of being caught upon
and flung around a fast-revolving shaft
at the Pacific Coast Borax Works, Alex
ander Weyeneth, an engineer, succumbed
to his fearful injuries at the Alameda
Sanitarium last night. During the great
er part of the time since he was hurt un-
til his death Weyeneth was conscious.
and the vitality displayed by the patient
was considered extraordinary by physi-
clans.
How Weyeneth became entangled about
the shaft is unknown, as there were no
eye-witnesses to the accident. He was
discovered standing in an empty cement
cistern, where the machinery had flung
him, drenched with blood and with his
clothing stripped from his body.
Weyeneth was a single man, aged As
years, a native of Switzerland, and had
been employed at the Pacific Coast Borax
Works for ten years. Deputy Coroner
Hugh C. Gallagher took charge of the re-
mains and an inquest will be held next
Friday at O'Clock Weyeneth was a
member of Alameda Aerie No. 1916, f. O..
E., and the funeral will be held under
the auspices of that organization.

Standing on the sidetrack Of the South

New Students Sent About

Older Men of University
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug 2s.-
The annual hazing in mild form at
Stanford University, which centers
about Eneina Hall, the dormilory for
men. has suffered a change in charac-
ter because of the warning note of dis
approval regarding Tubing, which
has been sounded by the faculty COM
mittee on student affairs. 'Freshies"
now lug boxes and trunks UP to the
fourth floor and black the boots of the
upper class men. Students who refuse
or take the matter in anything. but the
most serious and respectful manner
are called out in the small hours of the
morning to take the stabooed bath.
The system which has been In effect
for the last two days for the first time
in the history of the university has
reached surprising degree of COM
pleteness. The honored senior from
the fourth floor has but to call to his
junior friend, who in turn calls up a
sophomore. The sophomore straight
way sends the freshman with the mes
sage or commands him to report to the
senior upon the fourth landing.
With the installation of the new
state of affairs the sophomores receive
several shines a day and manage to
keep a swarm of the entrants chasing
about the campus. A freshman who
approaches the dormitory makes
careful scrutiny of the hall and then
slips carefully through the rear en-
trance.
