SUGGESTS NEW LAWS.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15-The Wood
ward committee that is looking into
building and loan association methods
held another session tonight that
lasted until midnight. William Klinger
was before it as complainant, saying
he had lost money with company that
was insolvent when Secretary Fields
told him 1t was not so.
Clarence Grange of the Phoenix made
some more suggestions to the commit
tee. He declared against f1ning mem
bers. All associations of the larger
sort should be formed with a capital
of not less than 500, 900, he said. In
smaller cities the capital could be
smaller like that of savings banks.
Grange said there should be two
building and loan commissioners and
that their salaries should be raised to
$3600 year each and that of the Sec
retary to $2400. If they did their duty
three men could devote all their time
to the work and find plenty to do.
c. j. Wade, secretary and manager
of the State Mutual Building and Loan
Association of Los Angeles, was called.
He represented the locals and while he
agreed generally with the statements
of Grange, he differed with him In some
particulars. He believed in penalties
for stockholders.

WOMEN VICTIMS
OF MISCREANT

A Joker" whose identity the United
States mail authorities are eagerly try
ing to establish. found Valentines day
an excellent opportunity to exhibit his
malicious tendencies, and as result a
guest of the Grand Hotel and several
ladies of the Palace are now slowly re-
covering from an unpleasant expert
ence, and one that might have proved
quite serious had the victims not re-
ceived prompt attention.
On Tuesday there was received at the
Palace Hotel in it's regular big bunch
of mail letter addressed to Mrs. Z. L.
Gray of Illinois, who happens to be
staying at the Grand Hotel. In segre-
eating the mail Clerk Gately of the
Palace noticed a strong odor attached
to the envelope bearing Mrs. Gray's
address, but supposed that the missive
had contracted the obnoxious odor by
contact with some foreign matter, and
without further investigation he for
warded 1t to the Grand Hotel. When
Mrs. Gray received the letter in her
room and opened it the envelope emit
ted an awful stencil, that nearly suf-
focated the lady. The room rapidly
filed with gas. and it was with consid-
cradle difficulty that Mrs Gray was
able to reach the door of her apartment
lapSed.
The management of the Grand was
Immediately notified. and proceeded to
subject Mrs. Gray's apartment to a
thorough fumigation, while it's weak
and nauseated occupant was being
cared for by the hotel attendants.
A little later Mrs. ]. W. Neill and
Miss Virginia Neill, two recent arrivols
from Tonopah, met with an experience
similar to that of Mrs. Gray in their
rooms at the Palace. Fortunately the
ladies threw the odoriferous letters out
Of a window before the sickening gas
that their mysterious contents deYel-
oped had time to permeate the atmos-
phere of the room.
Yesterday the postoffice inspectors
were notified by the hotel managers Of
the dastardly work of the unknown
miscreant, and an investigation is now
in progress with view of tracing the
letters to their sender and causing his
arrest. Should the culprit be found he
will be made to realize that his sup
posed joke Is a serious offense and is
likely to land him in the State prison.
Nearly all of the mail of the two hotels
that included the letters addressed to
the women mentioned contracted the
odor and had to be destroyed by the re-
cipients.

in part:

READY TO HUNT
FOR new COACH
Varsity Men Decide Finally
Question of Director for
Their Football Team
TO HIRE PROFESSIONAL
Students Executive Commit
tee Ratifies Agreement
Made With Rival College
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, Feb. 10.


The question of professional coach
ing for the University of California's
football team is settled, so far as the
executive committee of the Associated
Students having ratified the action of
It's representatives, who conferred with
Stanford men recently regarding the
matter. The committees action was
taken last night. following an exhaust
I've discussion Of the questions at issue.
Colonel George c. Edwards, chairman
of the faculty committee on athletics,
continued to the last in opposition to
the professional coach idea, casting
his vote against ratifying the commit
tees representatives action when
working with the Stanford men.
Prominent among those who appear
ed at the meeting to argue in favor of
professional coach was James A.
Force, captain of the varsity team.
Force urged the committee to ratify
the agreement, and do 1t at once, be-
fore the available supply of Eastern
Moffitt. members of the committee.
were absent. Their votes, however.
were not needed to insure ratification,
as the majority in favor Of such action
was decisive.
Work will be begun at once by Grad
uate Manager Decoto, acting for the
executive committee, to secure coach
from the East. The names of Smith
of Columbia, Folsom of Dartmouth and
one or two others have been mentioned,
but there is no preponderance of favor
exhibited for any of these.
There will be an attempt made to
get away from the old Princeton style
of playing, however, and no coach who
represents Princetonian methods is
likely to be considered. This feeling
is due to the belief that the university
has fallen into rut by pursuing the
ideas which Garry Cochran inculcated
years ago, when those ideas represent
ed Princeton and were also up-to-date
ideas. The football game has changed,
however, and Cochran'S game is OBJ
solete. say the gridiron sharps. Be-
cause of this the university players
and football experts propose to take
sharp turn in the opposite direction
and get a man who stands for some
thing in football coaching savoring of
other than Princetonian ideas.
The executive committee last night
set March as the date when the
students shall vote on the proposed
plan for an undergraduate students
affairs committee and a system of
pledges during examinations.
The proposal from Utah for a
Thanksgiving game of football was re-
jected.
The committee authorized a SUBJ
committee to engage the Alhambra
Theater in San Francisco for April 15
for the intercollegiate debate with
Stanford.
