Using Rock as a Weapon
CONFESSION ALLEGED

BEDFORD, Ind, Jan. 1S.-Frank
Evans and William Elmer Browning
were arrested to-day on warrants
sworn out by John D. Underwood. an
attorney, charging them with the muir
der of Miss Sarah S. Schaefer on the
night of January 21, 1904:
The arrest Is due to a story told by
Mrs. Cook, the divorced wife Of Brown
ing According to her story her hus-
band, from whom she was at the time
separated. told her that he and Evans
had killed Miss Schaefer. In the con-
fession. she says he made to her. he
said that he and Evans had planned
to assault Miss Schaefer. The two
met at the alley and as the girl passed
Browning struck her on the head with
a slungshot, stunning her. Evans
caught her and carried her into the
cab shed, where with rock he struck
her blow on the forehead which re-
suited in her death.
Evans changed his clothing. giving
the blood-stained garments to Brown
ing with instructions to bury them.
Browning gave them to his wife. who
hid them where, it is said. they were
found a few days ago. Among the
clothing is a cuff with a button said to
match one which was found in the cab
shed day or two after the murder.
Miss Schaefer was teacher in the
local high school.

Examination Questions
PAGE BLOWS A BLAST
Berkeley ONCE San Francisco Call,
2148 Center street, Jan. IS.

Declaring that the standard of schol-
arship in his classes last term was so
low as to provoke astonishment, Pro-
fesor Thomas Walker Page to-day
scored his class In medieval history,
consuming ten minutes in verbal ex-
coriation OF the luckless seekers after
knowledge.
Professor Page gave 1t as his opinion
that If the University Of California 8
rating as an institution depended in
the slightest degree upon the showing
pupils in his department made last
term, as revealed in the examination
papers he had read, the university
would be In most unenviable plight,
and likely to deserve the rank Of a
very inferior institution, instead of a
first-rate university. The examination
papers, he said, showed a most amaz-
ing lack Of knowledge on the part OF
students, and in some instances were
so weird as to excite mirth and ridi-
cule.
Professor Page Is an important figure
In the university's history department.
His speciality Is medieval history. His
examination questions naturally re-
lated to medieval subjects. 1t was in
this field that his students fioundered
and became mired, many Of them trying
to give suitable answers to such ques-
tions as: What were the relations be-
tween church and state in France in
the reign of Charlemagne or What
features distinguished the reign in Rus
sia Of Nicholas II"
The indignant professor read off a
number of these questions to-day. with
answers that had been supplied by stu
dents on the examination papers sub
mitted by them, and begged the class
to consider what extensive lack of
knowledge must have prompted the in
congruous answers given to many Of
the questions.
Under the circumstances" said the
professor, 'it became my painful duty
to disqualify many of the students in
my class last term for these amazing
blunders.''
Thus did Professor Page account, in
part at least, for the 204 ''cinches" suf-
fered by university students last term

SOIL QUESTION
PUZZLES THEM
University Agriculturists
Asked to Help Save the
California Celery Lands
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,


Fearful that the soil composing the
peat beds of Southern California,
where grows the big celery crop of the
State, is deteriorating, men Of the
south have sent samples of earth to
the agricultural department of the
State University for analysis in the
hope that remedies may be suggested
for the salvation of the great industry.
Professor Loughridge to-day re-
ceived the soil samples. sent by C. w.
Cole of Santa Ana, Orange County.
Professor Loughridge believes that the
trouble with the soil in the peat bed
district is due to the presence of too
much lime. This lime, he explains,
is likely to prove Injurious to the
celery crop IL it has become a pre-
ponderating element in the soil.
When Professor Loughridge has
concluded his tests the celery-growers
of the State will be provided with data
that may either reveal a method of
treating the soil to preserve its fer
tility or declare to them the hopeless
ness of seeking to change the condi-
tons there.

Without being broken down under an
entire day Of cross-examination. Mrs.
Hannah Cutler, the mother Of Mrs.
Laura J. w. Campbell. defended the
name Of her dead daughter In Judge
Ellsworths court to-day.
The trial OF Lemuel d. Campbell, who
shot his wife to death some months
ago, was on. and the aged mother was
tire day she defended her daughter
against the intent of the defense to try
to hide behind alleged misdoing.
An effort was made to show, upon
cross-examination, that Campbell had
discussed the past Of his wife the even
ing the shooting occurred and that
Campbell had been invited to the house
to discuss a reconciliation.
Mrs. Cutler denied that her child's
character had been brought UP in the
conversation. She said that Campbell
she answered you are still mine for
three days." meaning that an interloc-
utory decree granted her had not yet
become final. Probed from every side
as to all that occurred or was said that
night Mrs. Cutler told her story and
stuck to it. She did not fail to deny the
insinuations made against her daugh-
ter's character.
The plan of the defense has been
clearly outlined in the cross -examina-
ton of the mother, the most important
witness for the people. From questions
asked the mother it Is evident that
Campbell will attempt to show that his
wife had been leading an improper life.
Her past will be brought into the case,
and the shooting is to be made the Sc
Quel of the quarrel.
