WOMEN Of OAKLAND

representative women OF the clubs and
churches were called together to dis
cGss this afternoon in the parIors Of
the First Presbyterian Church. Miss
Ethel Moore. as chairman of the COM
mittee for relief work for the women,
felt that the time had come when the
workers should take definite action and
decide for themselves the problem of
continuing or disseminating the efforts
Criticism has assailed the women
from various sources, accusing the
committee of pauperizing the refugees
OF tending to complicate labor prob
lens and of drawing undesirable per
sons from all parts of the United
States to accept of their hospitality.
The women feel that by befriending
the homeless ones of their sex from
across the bay they are accomplishing
much and have set the Christmas sea-
son as the time when their organized
efforts shall cease.
The pAyroom where employment is
furnished to those who are willing
TO sew by the piece means a livelihood
for several women, and between
twenty and thirty are now daily fning
the orders for work which are sent
in by the large wholesale and retail
firms. The present plan is to continue
this room, and the work of distributing
clothing TO those who come with the
proper recommendation.

UNABLE To HELP
THE STUDENTS.
University Cannot Pro-
vide Lodgings for All
Who Want to Attend

BERKELEY, Aug. 1o.-After a con-
ference today between President
Wheeler and Professor George C. Ed
wards, the latter being the official ad-
wiser OF the men students, 1T was an
nounced that the several hundred uni
versity men who are almost certain to
find themselves without a place TO
sleep or lodge when college opens can
not hope for relief measures from the
university. The situation is expected
to result in the abandonment by hun
dreds of students Of their plans for a
university career. The scarcity of
quarters is due to the influx of San
francisco people since the fire
The university took cognizance of
the situation a month ago and sent
circular letters to householders ask
Ing them to list rooms for students.
The replies have been few. The uni
versity accordingly finds itself unable
to help the incoming students. Port
able houses on the campus have been
proposed, but the idea apparently is
not deemed feasible
President Wheeler said today that
he had supposed the registration fig
ures would drop off a bit from last
years record because of the San Fran
cisco disaster. but such is not the case.
The applications for admission are
greater up to date than they were at
this time last year. On August 8, 1905.
there were sos applications from
freshmen. This year there are sos The
freshmen class last year numbered 627
The prospect is that the freshman
class this year will be even larger
1t Is believed that when several hun
dred students are turned away from
the State University because of lack
of accommodations in the town the
plan to provide dormitories on the
campus will be taken up by the Re
gents. Conditions are such that in the
opinion of the university authorities a
dormitory system will be absolutely
necessary.
