CO.EDS' TRICK
CAST IN SHADE
Professor Moses Suffers From
Worse Than Cherry Bios
som Theft by Students
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214s Center Street, Jan. IL.

SN@@SSA
Contributions to the literature in
spired by the famous axiom regarding
the folly of locking the stable door
after the horse has been stolen are now
expected from Professor Bernard
Moses, the distinguished authority on
international law and political history
and former Philippine Commissioner
His favorite horse has been stolen.
Professor Moses reported to Marshal
Kerns this morning the diappearance
OF pet saddle horse from the stable al
the Moses place, on College avenue, ad-
joining the university campus. The ami
NAL is said never to have strayed from
home, and so Professor Moses credited
his loss to the machination Of one or
more of the gang of law-breakers that
has infested the university town since
the racing season opened.
1t was Professor Moses who suffered
loss at the hands of the university CO.
eds last year, when the maidens
thoughtfully removed, as he alleged,
quantities Of cherry blossoms and other
foliage from his place on College ave-
nue.. His remarks to the co-eds, made
in classroom hours, created a sensa-
ton, though it was not supposed that
they would be taken so seriously al
they were. Some affected to see joke
in the matter. attributing the cherry
blossom thefts to the gay spirits OF
sorority girls, who had used the cherry
blossoms to decorate their rooms for a
tea, to which Professor Moses had been
bidden 1T has been suggested that tha
horse-stealing episode, reported to the
police by the professor to-day, may be
another prank of the buoyant col
legians, but this Professor Moses is
10th to believe.
Open house is now being kept at the
Moses stable, the paddock being in dis
use, as heretofore, in the hope that
conscience-stricken persons may drive
the stolen or strayed animal back .nto
the Moses barnyard.

1016 Broadway, Jan. L.
When James c. Fink of Livermore
returned from years of wandering In
Australia no fatted calf was killed nor
did he get the greeting ne expected
from wife and children. On the con-
trary, he had ceased to be missed ana
his attempt to resume his position at
the head of his family was regarded
as an intrusion. A divorce action was
begun by Mrs. Anna NJ. Fink, which
terminated in her obtaining decree
to-day on the ground Of desertion and
failure to provide.
The Finks lived at Livermore and
times were prosperous, but mismanage-
ment made shipwreck of their fortunes
and when things were at their worst
Fink mt to Australia without notify
ing his family of his intended departure
until the day he was to sail. After ar
irving at Australia he wrote once and
asked his wife to send him a ticket on
which to return, but she replied to him
that she had no money. Several years
went by and a few months ago Fink
reappeared at the old home.
Work and hardship had made its i'm
press upon the wife. The love for the
man who was once her husband had
gone. The children were strangers to
him and his advent was the occasion Of
disarrangement of the family routine.
He was told there was no place for him
in the home he had deserted Judge
Melvin took this view of the matter
and granted Mrs. Fink an interlocutory
decree.
decree Of divorce from Michael Sheri-
dan, a marine engineer, to-day and
she also obtained the custody Of their
four children. BY arrangement she is
to receive $50 month alimony, $120
cash in bank and some lots in Seattle.

STRONG WORDS
OF CATTLEMAN
President of the National
Livestock Association Is
sues Challenge From Chair

DENVER, Jan. I2.-"The man who
has imputed motives of dishonor to
your president is liar, an absolute
and unqualified liar, and the chair is
able to substantiate it physically or
otherwise
This was the declaration of Presi-
dent Frank J. Hagenbarth of the Ma
tional Livestock Association in a
speech made to-day to the opposition.
His words alluded to alleged state
ments that he had been overzealous
in his efforts to obtain for the rail-
roads representation in the governing
body of the Livestock Association.
At the morning session of the asso-
citation some sharp criticisms of the
president were made by number of
the delegates, who declared that he
was paying too much attention to the
committee meeting in which the plan
of reorganization was being consid-
cred, and too little to the meetings of
the convention. At the afternoon ses-
sion the president appeared in person
to reply to his critics. He declared In
the commencement OF his remarks
that he had been insulted by delegates
who had impugned his motives, and
that he wished to take a few minutes
on question of personal privilege
He denied that he had been actuated
by any idea but the good of the asso-
ciation; that he had no personal inter-
est in the admission of any group of
men into the membership of the Live
stock Association and then made the
declaration given above.
At the afternoon session, when
President Hagenbarth had concluded
his speech. s. HI. Cowan of Fort
Worth, Tex, called up the order made
at the morning session. which directed
the organization committee to report
at 1880 this afternoon or be discharged
from further service.
President Hagenbarth asked him To
delay his motion to bring In the COM
mittee. as 1t was about ready to re-
port. but 1t would need until to-mor-
row TO finish its work.
The rollcall was finally had after
considerable delay.

FINDS A FLAW
| IN ORDINANCE
License Law of Berkeley Is
Unconstitutional Accord
ing to the Town Attorney
CITY'S BAD POSITION
Business Can Be Conducted
Without Paying Tax to
the Municipal Government
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, Jan. II.

214S Center Street, Jan. IL.
AS the result of court and attorney S
act to-day THE town of Berkeley finds
itself in the unique position Of being
without a license law under which its
officers may operate to produce revenue
for the government.
Town Attorney Hayne declared In
Justice Edgar's court this morning,
during the trial of H. p Carlson.
peddler arrested for doing business
without license, that the license ordi-
nance of Berkeley was unconstitutional
and void. He based his opinion on the
fact that the ordinance permitted the
Town Trustees to grant free licenses.
This he deemed to be "class legisla-
tion," making improper discrimination
possible, and multiplying the entire ordi-
nance.
Judge S. P. Hall of the Superior
Court of this county has confirmed
Town Attorney Haynes view of the
ordinance, Hayne said, and so the
Town Attorney moved that the pris-
oner, Carlson, be discharged. Justice
Edgar assented and Carlson left the
courtroom. He was arrested for SIM
liar offense several months ago and
convicted, but on appeal Judge ELS
worth found the complaint defective
and Carlson thus escaped.
By the act of Justice Edgar and At
torney Hayne to-day the town is de-
prived of any measure under which
licenses may be collected. Peddlers,
banks, stables, laundries or corpora
tions may operate without paying until
a new, license ordinance is adopted. The
ordinance which has been in force was
adopted on June o. 1903.

was terrific and wreckage from the
two engines, baggage and express cars

they would be glad to drop in at the

them a pTss. The senator smilfnglv
