ESCAPES DESTRUCTION
Fire Breaks Out i'm Old College Hall,
the Birthplace of the University
of California.

OAKLAND. March college Hall.
Twelfth and Harrison streets, one of
the historic landmarks of the city,
came near being destroyed by fire this
morning. The blaze is supposed to
have been caused by a smoldering ci
gar stub. There is stable UNDER
meath the hall and one of the en-
ployes discovered the fire in the hall
above. The department soon had the
fire under control.
The upper floor, where the fire orig
mated, is occupied by Company A.
Veteran Reserves. The old structure
is one of the original buildings that
formed the first home of the Univer-
sity of California. After the univer-
sity became an established fact and
had a permanent home of it's own,
College Hall was used for social and
political gatherings for many years.

lar theater orchestra tomorrow night
and Miss Estelle Drummond, who has
been a faithful accompanist ever since

Instead of the "elass-rush'' that on
Charter day in other years gave the
university men of the sophomore and
freshman classes a strenuous hour
with wounds and glory galore for It's
heroes, there is to be this year, on the
historic day, mild ceremony, consist
ing of the painting by the freshman
of big "C' on Charter Hill, with the
class numerals of the freshmen be-
meath.
Plans for such ceremony were
made at a joint meeting of the sopho-
more and freshman class representa-
tives to-day. President Wheeler will
be asked to suspend exercises for the
two lower classes on the Saturday pre-
ceding Charter day, so that the men
of both classes can build the big e
of cement. President W. H. Dehm OF
the Associated Students will write at
once to President Wheeler, who is now
in the East, for the desired permission
The women of the lower classes viii
be expected to furnish luncheon for the
men after their labor of mixing and
carrying the cement up to the top OF
the hill and there putting it in the form
of a &C." On Charter day the fresh
men will paint the hig letter brilliant
yellow and thereafter on each Charter
day it will be the privilege Of the fresh
men class to repeat this action. The
letter will be about forty feet long,
five feet wide and three feet deep.
Plans and specifications will be drawn:
up for it's construction after a confer
ence is held with Professor Soule- The
men of the classes will share the ex-
pense of the work.
The ancient Charter day rush re-
ceived it's quietus last year, when the
students affairs committee of the rae
uIty made it. impracticable for the bel
ligerent students to repeat the old
fashioned practice of fighting for ad-
vantage on Charter Hill. 1t was the
custom during this annual struggle for
the victors to tie up the vanqulshed
and then to plant their class numerals
on the hill in token of triumph.

Popular Native Son Wins
Position Created by
Death.

OAKLAND, March Frank Bar
net. former deputy clerk of the Su-
preme Court, was to-day, by unani-
nous vote, appointed Sheriff of Ala
media County by the Board of Super
visors to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of John N. Bishop.
Barnet qualified at once by filing a
surety company bond, which was ap-
proved by the Judges of the Superior
Court. The new Sheriff this afternoon
temporarily reappointed all of thefpres-
ent force of deputies. except John
Simons and Fred Murdock. George
Wales of Newark. a deputy under for
mer Sheriff Oscar Rogers, gets one of
these places; the other will be offered
to City Councilman W. j. Baccus.
Sheriff Barnet announced that he had
not considered any other permanent
appointments. 1t is understood that
Under Sheriff ]. J. Hanifin Jr. will be
retained, and possibly Chief Jailer
Harry Clark.
Two petitions for the appointment of
Sheriff were read at the special meet
ing of the Supervisors this morning.
The first was that of Barnet, the other
was from Harry "A. bOTCHeTl, steward
of the Receiving Hospital. A resolu-
ton naming Barnet was introduced
and the roll call proceeded with Super
visor j. M. Kelley first for Barnet.
Supervisor Rowe's vote was passed
until after Supervisors Horner and
Talcott and Chairman Mitchell had
voted for Barnet. Then Rowe made it
unanimous.
Sheriff Barnet is native of Oakland,
the son of John Barnet, a retired po-
liceman. He is a past president of
Local No. 131, Painters and Decorators
of America. In politics he has been
active and is a strong Republican. He
was engrossing clerk of the Assembly
during the session of 1897. He served
two years as Deputy County License
Collector from July l, 1897. Barnet re-
signed that posi- to become deputy
clerk of the Supreme Court, a position
he held until November l, 1900 Later
he was appointed stenographer in the
District Attorneys Office, and he gives
up that post for the important one to
which he was appointed to-day. Sheriff
Barnet has been leader in the Native
Sons of the Golden West. He is mar
ried and resides at 40 Eighth street.
Councilman Baccus said tonight
that he had been offered the naming
of a Deputy Sheriff, but should not ac-
cept a position himself.

When the case of the Regents of the
University of California against the
Pacific Surety Company to recover
$4,000 on the bond of the former secre-
tary, w. A. McKowen. came up for
trial this morning before Judge S. p.
Hall, the statement was made by At
torney C. e. Snook that he had been
unab Bile to find the br nd and that he
had been greatly hindered in the prep
aration of the case in consequence.
1t was said by Attorney F. P. Deer
ing for the surety company that the
main point of disagreement between
his client and the regents was that the
company was not responsible longer
than three months after the expiration
of the bond, while on the part of the
university it is said that it was stipu-
lated in the bond that the time limit
was six months.
At this juncture former Expert ]. J.
Herr made the announcement that Mrs
A. S. Hallidie he thought can tell
where the missing document is. Her
husband was the chairman of the
finance committee Of the Board of
Regents and he had the bond. On his
death Mrs. Hallidie turned it over to
some person, from whom she took a
receipt. McKowen'S defalcation was
discovered about five months after the
bond had expired and if the bond can
be found the State may be gamer to
the extent of $4,000. Court was imme-
diately adjourned and Attorney Shook
was given opportunity to try to re-
cover the missing document
