OUSTED MANAGER SECURES
CONTROL OF THE COMPANY
A. c. Denman Jr. i'm Position to Die
tate to San Bernardino


SAN BERNARDINO March S.-A
sensation was sprung at special meet
ing of the board of directors OF the
San Bernardino Valley Traction Com
pany held this afternoon. when it be-
came evident that A. C. Denman Jr.
had acquired a majority of the stock
and was in position to dictate his terms
to the Fishers.
A couple of months ago trouble arose
in the management of the road and
President Henry Fisher succeeded in
ousting Denman, who was then general
manager of the company, the place
being given to John Fisher, son of the
president Denman left for the East.
He returned a few days ago, but had
nothing to say and the disclosure at
to-day's meeting was a revelation, 1t
being found that Denman had pur-
chased most of the stock, wiping out
several of the smaller stockholders and
securing 1000 shares from Fishers own
broker, Horace Slater of Redlands.
The next meeting of the board will
take place on Tuesday. when Den
man will be at liberty to elect himself
president and general manager. ousting
both OF the Fishers. While Denman
denies it, it is asserted by those in a
position to know that the money which
enabled him to work with was ad-
vanced to him by Huntington and that
the transaction will have an important
bearing on electric railway building
operations in this section.

COLLEGE MEN
CAST BALLOTS
University Students Decide
to Have Committee for
Self Governing Purposes
INTRODUCE NOVELTY
Discipline Now to Be Ad-
ministered Through Me-
dunn of Undergraduates
Berkeley ofce San Francisco Call,

AI4c center street, March 3.
AFTER months of discussion, in which
the student body of the university has
argued the merits of the proposed plan
TO form a students affairs committee.
MADE up of students, which committee
would practically rule the student
pooy In cases where discipline is re-
qulred, vote was taken to-day on the
proposal and 1t was approved by the
students.
Votlng was in progress throughout
the day at the university from until
: CLOCK. Besides the plan to organ
lze students affairs committee, the
varsity men and women voted on an
nonor system" which, however,
lai1ed to receive their approval.
Inc vote on the students affairs
proposition was: For, 24S; against. AS
on the honor SYSTEM" for, 1872;
against, 162.
The organization of the new COM
mlttee Is due in part to the strained
relatlons that followed the seniors
famous collision with Captain Nance
last term. complaint was general then
mat various students were unjustly
treated by the faculty students affairs
committee, this being due, it was said,
TO the failure of the faculty men to
get the students point of view in the
matter.
1t Is proposed now to have the stu
cents committee cooperate with the
FACULTY committee of the same title.
la1e students committee is to be made
up or three seniors, to be appointed by
the president of the Associated Stu
uentS, the president also to be MEM
Der of the committee
Presidents of all the classes are to
be members ex-officio, to act in mat
ters that concern members of their re-
spect1ve classes. The president of the
graduate students is also to be an ex-
ofhc1o member of the committee.
The committee is empowered to
either take independent action in cases
where undergraduate disciplinefs called
for or to refer the question to the fac
ulty committee on students affairs.
The committee assumes equally with
the faculty committee the responsible
ity Of preserving discipline"
The so-called honor system" fea-
ture, which was not approved by the
students to-day, requires every stu
dent to sign a statement at the end of
each examination paper in this form:
Il give my word that during this ex-
animation 1 have neither given nor re-
celved help. Four years ago the
honor system was presented to uni
versity students for their approval and
was then voted down by decisive
majority. a.

FEAR KINIRY PLOTS
.JaiIers Apprehensive That
Prisoner May Escape.
Much Similarity Between His Case
and Allan Goucher's.

OAKLAND, March s.-David Kiniry,
charged with the murder Of Policeman
James H. Smith, is always brought TO
the courtroom handcuffed to a deputy
sheriff. II is feared that he will try to
make dash for liberty il given an op-
portunity. His jailers are apprehen-
sive and wait with impatience the dis
posal OF his case.
The trial Of the case made little pro-
gress to-day, as at 1880 o'clock the We
nire of fifty jurors had been exhausted
and an adjournment had 10 be taken
until tomorrow morning to allow
Sheriff Barnet to summon a special
venire Of fifteen, from which it is be-
heVed the one more juror needed can
be found. AS the list now stands those
accepted are A p. Partridge. John NJ.
Greed, C. A McClain, Justice Over
acker, J. A. Marshall. Farley B. Gran
ger, Alfred H Hay, Carl Kreiling, Otto
Niehaus, r. F. Phillips, George w.
Shreve.
Coincident with the trial of Allan
Goucher in San Francisco comes the
trial Of Kiniry here. Both are youths
of about the same age and both
charged with the murder of a police
man, and in each case the policemen
were in citizen clothes and were shot
when they attempted to make arrests.
Both made their escape and were ar
rested far from the scenes of their
crimes.
