CRAVE CHARGE
BY CANDIDATE
Alleges Money Was Used to
Aid Thomas Rickard in
His Fight for Trustee
MAN BEATEN COMPLAINS
Is Having all Investigation
Made and May Decide
to Institute a Contest

BERKELEY, April 22.-Investigation
is now being made by friends of John
Hinkel, capitalist, who was nom
partisan candidate for Town Trustee
at the recent election, of charges that
money was improperly used to infiu-
ence university students in favor of
Thomas Richard, the successful can
didate, and students changed their res
idence to stuff Richards ward.
Mr.. Rickard has been president OF
the Board of Town Trustees and his
title Is that of Mayor of Berkeley
He defeated Hinkel by six votes and
was afterward reelected president of
the Board of Trustees. Hinkel made
the following statement to-day:
Friends of mine. whose names l
don't care to give out, have been col
lecting evidence to prove the truth of
stories about the improper use of mon
ey in the fight between Rickard and
myself Those friends are to meet to-
morrow afternoon and report to me the
result of their investigation. Then i
will decide whether to institute a con-
test and make public the facts. We
know that very large campaign fund
was used in the fight in my ward by
the Republican committee that man
aged Mr.. Richards contest. How 1t
WAS spent, or VINO contributed IL, Is
what we are investigating. If stu
dents received money as they are said
to have DONE or changed their resi-
dences improperly in order to vote for
Rickard, perhaps 1t will be best to
have the facts made public. l have
no quarrel with Rickard, however.
We are friends. The committeeman
from that ward, / suppose, conducted
his fight, spent. the money and did the
work
Rickard expressed himself as fol-
lows:
All the work done for me in the
election was fair, clean and above
board work. No money was used i'm
properly, nor were the other measures
used improper in any sense. / court
any investigation that can be made.
A. E. Shaw, Louis Titus and S. G.
Masters are the committeeman from
Richards ward. Each denied tonight
that any of the methods used to elect
Trustee Rickard were at all improper,
and all declared their willingness to
meet the non-partiSan candidate S
men in an investigation.

OBJECT TO TAX
ON ENGINEERS
University Students Hold In
dignation Meeting OH the
Campus and Take Action
PROTEST. TO BE MADE
Committee Appointed to Pre-
pare Document for Pre-
sentation to President

BERKELEY, April 22.-Students in
the civil engineering courses at the
University of California held an indig-
nation meeting this morning in the
mining building, on the campus, to pro-
test against the action OF the regents
OF the university in raising the fee
summer school surveyors must pay
from IS to SO.
This fee is to pay for the wear and
tear on instruments supplied the engi-
neerlng students while in attendance
at the annual summer school of sur
Veylng. when the young engineers do
practical field work and in other ways
derive practical benefit during the re-
mainder of the college year from the
theories that have been taught them.
Last year about 500 students attend
ed this summer school at Santa Cruz
and about the same number expected
to take the course this summer The
action of the regents in raising the tax
from 80 to $40, however, is said to have
lmperiled the success of the summer
school, and scores of students inti-
mated to-day that they would cut
out the summer school rather than
pay the increased fee.
Professor z. n. Prouty explained to
the students at their Indignation meet
Ing the reasons that made the in
creased tax necessary. He told them
that the expense incurred in the use
OF instruments always had been
greater than the fees taken from stu
dents represented, and that the uni
versfty now is not in a position to re-
peat this programme.
Despite Professor Prouty's explana-
ton, the students decided to prepare a
formal protest for presentation to
President Wheeler and J. M. Burke and
II. r. Foster were appointed a COM
mittee to draft and present the pro-
test.

OAKLAND, April 22.-The trial OF
Miss Alice B. Courtwright for insanity
was begun before a jury this morning
and the first witness called to testify
was her father, the Rev. c. w. Court
wright. He declared that he believed

son that she made heinous charges
against prominent clergymen and
against members Of her own family
and that she had disturbed them very
unhappily for years by her talk.
Drs. Clarence Selfridge and H
Chamberlain were called out of order
in Miss Courtwright's behalf and they
testified that in their opinion she was
not Insane. These doctors are homeo-
paths. Later several allopaths will be
put on the stand, who Will syear that
Miss Courtwright is Insane. The dis
pute between the two schools gives
added interest to the strange case.
Court adjourned at noon till Mon

EASTER HAT
AN INCENTIVE
TO DEVOTION
BY ZOE GREEN RADCLIFFE.

OAKLAND, April 22.-If the sun
shines to-morrow-and present indi-
cations are good-every woman who
Easter bonnet" will be seized with a
sudden accession of piety, and the
minister will rejoice accordingly, for
Easter Sunday is the one day in the
year when every church receives its
quota of attendants, and the contribu-
ton box wakes heavy in the hands of
the collector. 1t is a question just
how much the hat, that annually fur
nishes material for the joke maker,
is responsible for the crowds of Easter
worshipers, but / have known women
to remain away from church on that
day because of millinery reasons and
have known others to go purely and
simply because they were newly fitted
out with fashion latest in headgear.
But whatever motive impels woman
to devotion on Easter morn, she forms
part OF a brilliant beautiful picture
that is none the less solemn because
of the flowers and gay ribbons that
bedeck bended heads.
With the day of resurrection comes
also surcease of even the pretense of
penitence, when one doesn't have to
be gay in an informal manner, but
may take ones pleasure ostentatiously.
During the past week cards to every
kind of entertainment have been ac-
cumulating, and the popular maid is
facing a strenuousa period. Teas,
luncheons, dinners, weddings-the list
is formidable one.
Miss Lucretia Burnham will start
the social ball rolling on Monday even
ing with a dinner dance for Miss
Smith and Roland Oliver. There is
no lovelier residence in Oakland than
the lakeside home of the ]. r. Burn
hams, and their sbonny daughter
the only one-is an admirable hostess.
The dinner is to be an elaborate af-
fair, covers to be laid for thirty-six
guests.
