LID IS REMOVED
IN BERKELEY
Trustees Reach Agree
ment for Reopening
the Saloons.
Traffic in Marin, San Ma
teo and Oakland In
fluences Action.

BERKELEY, June 12-The saloons
of Berkeley are to be reopened. They
were closed by the Trustees two weeks
ago, when the agitation for general
closing of saloons in the region about
the bay was at its height The Trustees
last night decided to give the liquor
sellers permission to again open their
doors The dealers will begin business
at oiice
There are ten saloons in this city, all
being in West Berkeley. Until six
months ago twenty three saloons op-
Grated In Berkeley. this number being
reduced to ten on January 1, 1906. This
rigorous treatment Of the liquor deal
ers and the popular sentiment against
the business in East Berkeley, that
being the largest and most influential
section of the town, combined to Gre
ate the idea that when the agitation
against liquor shops began a month
ago. eliminating in strong fight in
Oakland between saloons and anti-sa-
loon men, Berkeley saloonists would
get a complete knockout blow. This
belief was intensified when the Town
Trustees closed the Berkeley saloons
two weeks ago, ordering them to re-
main closed indefinitely
The town officials announced last
night. however. that as the closing of
the Berkeley saloons had failed to op-
crate upon saloons Oh Otner towns, as
it was hoped would be the case, and as
saloons in Marin and San Mateo coun-
ties, to say notnlng Of those in Oakland,
Gontirued to operate, with the pros
pect OF speedy resumption OF the liquor
business in San Francisco the Berkeley
liquor men might as we'll have the
privilege of doing business. They were
accordingly authorized to resume.
e. j, Martin, representing the inter-
ests that favored the closing of the
saloons, was present last night and
conceded that the closing of the shops
had not had the effect desired. His
opposition. apparently. was at an end
under the circumstances. The liquor
men had an attorney present, but his
services were not needed. The Trust
ees' vote was unanimous.

FEW cHANaEs OF TEAcHERs.

OAKLAND, June 12-But few
changes were made in the staff of
teachers and principals of the School
Department by the Board OF Education
at the annual election held last night.
Paul Uth was retired as physical Gull
ture director and c. HI. Pfund was
chosen to fill the position. Mrs. E. A.
Wilson, principal of the Peralta School,
was placed on the teaching list, and I.
D. Martin. principal of the Grant
School, was dismissed. w. Wheeler of
Fresno and H. c. Petray Of Haywards
were elected as principals unassigned.
William Schatka was appointed in
spector of school buildings, his salary
being fixed at sf55 a month,
1t is estimated by the Board OF Edu-
cation that the state apportionfnent for
salaries will be sg10o short of the
amount required, and the directors may
ask the local banks TO advance coin
with which to meet the deficit. TWO
dollars and half a month is 10 De
added to the salaries of the primary and
grammar grade teachers during the
coming school year to make up FOR the
loss of compensation that the instruc-
tors sustained while the schools were
closed following the earthquake.

REGENTS MAKE
RADICAL CHANCE
Two of Four Years Med
ical Term I transferred
to Berkeley.

The Regents Of the University of Cal
if0rnia at their meeting yesterday in
the Cooper Medical College adopted the
recommendation of the committee on
colleges of medicine and dentistry, that
the first two years of the present medi-
cal and dental work be transferred to
Berkeley This will allow a wider
scope for clinical practice in the last
two years, for there will be more room
in the Affiliated Colleges building for a
clinic.
The Wilmerding School committee
made it's report regarding the lease of
the lot at the CORNER OF Seventeenth and
Kansas streets. The committee stated
that it had received an offer from the
Duffield Lumber Company for a ten
year lease at the rate of S200 for the
first five years and $3.50 for the last
Ave years. Because of some naisunder-
standing as to the valuation of the land
the matter was referred back to the
committee, which was given full power
to act in the matter.
The income of the university for the
coming year is estimated at 1857, 7,42S3f.
The salaries will amount to s4g39133 80
and the general running expenses sS63,-
60S.97. These expenditures make to-
tai of sS57,5z2.27, thus showing a deficit
of sSs.96. This deficit Will doubtless be
balanced. as the estimate always proves
to be less than the actual income.
Prominent among the appointments
is that of Miss Lucy Sprag que to the DO
sition of assistant professor of English.

FRESNO. June 12.-The California
Gamers Association and Griffin & SlxeI-
ly opened their plants today. Each
employs about soc men and women.
Sharp bidding on the part Of the can
ners, together with the scarcity OF good
fruit, has caused prices to soar and the
packers are paying an average of S35 a
ton for apricots. The quality OF the
fruit delivered so far is below the av-
erage. being small and marked by
blight.
The packers and Gamers are already
in the market for peaches and the price
of that f. uit will be higher than ever
before. Reports from the country show
that the main damage done by the re-
cent storm was to these two crops and
to hay in the field. Grain did not suf-
fer so much as was at first reported.

Egyptian Onions.

Egypt has been regarded by some
people as the land Of pyramids and
mummies only. but 1t has from time
immemorial had reputation for
onions. Ancient Egyptians swore by
the onion and regarded the plant as
sacred. The inscription ON the pyra-
mid Of Cheops tells us that the work
men had onions given to them, and
from the Bible we learn that the He
brews. when saves under Pharaoh,
enjoyed these bulbs. and that when far
away they remembered the leeks and
the onions and the garlic" The Egyp-
ton onion is handsome and useful
vegetable. and by selecting the best
strains Of seed the quality tends. year
by year. to improve. The Egyptian
knows two varieties. the "Baali'' and
the "Mskaoui." hut supplies of the lat
ter k.nl are seldom sent abroad. as
they absorb so much moisture from the
frequently irrigated ground in which
they are grown that they do not stand
Il sea voyage we'll. The ''Baall" onion
is the more popular Egyptian onion
and is grown in yellow soil, which Is
sparingly wntercd while the bulbs are
maturing in order that the onions may
stand Il lengthy sea voyage with little
risk OF sproutlng.
