WIFE BARRED

OAKLAND, April 21.--For fear that
her father, Edward Carr, may marry
the fourth time and she thereby lose
a $4,000 estate, Mrs. M. E. Old has
petitioned for letters Of guardianship
and would have the old man declared
incompetent. The family live at Warm
Springs, which has been their home for
years.
Ever since the death Of his last wife,
some two years ago, Carr has made
his home with his daughter, but a
short time ago her husband and the
old man had falling out and he made
his father-in-law leave the place. Left
alone in the world, Carr found a wo-
man in San Francisco, and Is actively
engaged in courting her. He has laid
the proffer of his fortune at her feet
He is So years old, but maintains he
is still young enough to make another
matrimonial voyage. His daughter
says he is crazy. The hearing of the
matter was to have come up to-day,
but was continued for two weeks.

STRAIGHT TALK
BY PROFESSOR
Philosopher Bakewell, Called
to Yale, Scores CalifOr-
MIA for Initiating Others
ROAST FOR PLAGIARISM
Need of Genuine College
Spirit Is Explained to
Youth of the University

BERKELEY, April 21.-Professor c.
NJ Bakewell made his farewell address
10 university students to-day at Har-
mon gymnasium, and incidentally
made his hearers souirm by straight
talk regarding what constitutes real
college spirit. Professor Bakewen is in
the department Of philosophy. He has
been called to Yale, as head of the
same department there. Apropos Of his
removal to the Eastern university,
Bakewell spoke OF attempts made here
10 initiate Yale's traditions and Gus
toms, a practice which he declared was
not conducive TO the growth Of gen
uine college spirit, or calculated to en-
hance the prestige Of the University
OF California. Speaking OF this mat
ter Professor Bakewell said:
Yale spirit was thing unknown here six
years ago. few years seo. however we took
10 Initiating Yale, with bec results to us. and
when Stanford stole our imitation OF ELS ira
ditiOnal fence we all re1oiced thereat. We
cannot develcp any virtues through plagiarism.
Coiltge spirit is natural contagion In a
small college certain solidarity and spirit is
acquired which takes years 70 develop in
large university
In California we have grown too quickly,
and II Is now impossible for students and fac
uity mingle as in the minor institutions. Such
men As sill, lie Conte and Kellogg have helped
create coilese spirit, and we are striving 10
maintain and develop 1t. Now we are divided
n many camps We only come together on the
athletic field. We are going through period
Ct transition and we have difficult path 10
follow. Getting together and shouting is not
college spirit, but q mere symptom OF IT.
There is only one way 10 acquire real college
spirit, and that Is 10 develop humanity in US
Is acquire education, and not merely
acquire a profession that will enable US TO
lives
We are becoming provincial. I fear, and that
not because Of our Isolation. but through fail
make cur educational work include the
development OF soul and spirit. 1t is true that
no man can enjoy the products Of civilization
il he has only prepared himself for his occu-
patton in life.
Il is a matter or regret to me that more
students are not taking the courses in philoso-
ply al this university Philosophy is espe-
cially concerned with humanity and life and
IN its study here there IS an opportunity for
students tc meet and mingle with one who
represents the cid traditions OF genuine col
lege spirit-Professor George II. Howison head
OF the department Of philosophy OF the Univer-
sify Of California.
