VETERANS OF WARS
ATTEND SERVICES
CLASS RECORD
TO BE ISSUED
To Take Place of Blue
and Gold, Which
Was Lost.

BERKELEY, May 27. Although the
university students may. be obliged to do
without blue and gold annual this year
because of the destruction of the material
for the book in the San Francisco fire, the
class of '06 is determined that there shall
be some record made and published CIV
ing an account of the doings of their
class and other university bodies during
the last year.
Three students have been intrusted with
the work of getting, out a senior class
record to take the place in part OF the
1907 Blue and Gold. These three editors
are Farnham Griffiths Miss Gladys f.
Meyer and George F. Jones. They met
last Saturday and decided upon the pol
icy which is to guide them in preparing
matter for the book.
The story of the record probably will be
divided into three parts, one describing
the work of the senior class during the
college year just ended, second relating
to the general university activities during
the year as Connected with the sen.sr class
and a third section 4evoted to the stu
dents work during the fire in San Fran
cisco and the relief work done during the
last six weeks in Berkeley by university
men and women. The record will be
unique, and it is thought will be in al
most as much demand as would have
been the Inflated Blue and Gold of '07
George F. Jones is to give especial atten-
ton to the business details Of the affair.
Miss Gladys Meyer, prominent sorority
girl whose engagement to marry Eugene
r. Hallett was recently announced, will
represent the .co-ed'' contingent in the
publication. Farnham Griffiths. a Phi
Beta Kappa man, a debater, will give
most attention to .ne editorial work.

posed wedding of Miss Ollie Carson and
John M Freelanger at Los Angeles two
years ago was stopped by the prospective
brides big brother the couple did not
lose heart, as was shown today when

tie weary months of waiting Freelanger
kept the marriage license that he pro-
cured in the southern city in 1904.
Freelanger is a painter and decorator
and was employed at Los Angeles when
he met Miss Carson. They became en-
gagged, the wedding day was set and the
marriage license issued when Miss Car
sons brother returned from trip 10
Mexico. Carson and Freelanger were not
friendly and the brother refused TO coun-
tenance the marriage.

and the girl he had intended to make his
wife, but they had a secret understand
ing that some day their marriage would
be solemnized. He went TO San Fran

city to live. Neither was aware of the
presence of the other until after the fire.

and found Judge Samuels in his court
room. Freelanger presented the old mar

as pensions are the greatest humdrum of
Congressman's existence. Consequently
the House members scattered to the four
winds Williams called a no quorum
and a roll call revealed the fact that he
was right, The arrests followed and al
that the last roll call showed only 1874
members present and 1SS absent. 1t was

SALOONS CLOSED
ACROSS THE DAY
Sunday Crowds Meet
Disappointment in
Oakland.
Liquor men Help to Pre-
serve Order Vol
unfairly.

OAKLAND, May 27.-Oakland was a
dry city today. Every saloon man
within the municipal limits who is affili-
ated with the knights of the Royal Arch
which organization controls the retail
liquor trade, closed his doors last night
at O'Clock not to reopen until 8 O'Clock
tomorrow morning. The action was a
voluntary one on the part of the Royal
Arch executive committee
No demand was made upon the saloon
men to close, but the situation was pre-
sented in thesform of request that Sun
day order could be maintained better
were 1t known that it, would be useless
for outsiders to visit Oakland for the
purpose of procuring liquor.
In. explanation of the situation, P. N
Hanrahan, chairman of the board OF
trustees OF the Royal Arch, said today
I'VE are very well satisfied with the
response to- our request that all saloons
be closed on Sunday. Our purpose is to
check the tendency of outsiders to come
into Oakland for liquor. On week days
the conditions have been normal and
there has been no trouble. Sundays, how
ever, there has been movement from
across the bay of undesirable persons
who have made trouble for the saloon
men. Our intention is to cooperate in
every way we can to maintain the good
name of our city"
The City Council will take up the ques-
ton Of indefinite closing of the saloons
at its meeting tomorrow night. Presi-
dent Fitzgerald's proposition to close the
saloons daily at p. m. except at 2 p. m
Saturdays and all day Sundays, until July
at least, will be considered

INSANE WOMAN
LOST IN HILLS
Searching Parties Are
Trying to Find Mrs.
KrauSe.
May Have Perished in
Heavy Storm of Yes
terday.

BERKELEY, May 27.-Among the
hills back of Berkeley is believed to
be wandering lone, helpless woman,
partially insane, who was driven forth
Yesterday from the shelter of Hearst
Hall by the hallucination that she is
10 be captured by the police unless she
keeps out of sight.
The woman's name is Mrs. Emily
Krause. She is one of the refugees
who came from San Francisco with
the thousands who fed from the fire,
and who were given aid in Berkeley.
She has been kept at Hearst Hall
during the last month, but yesterday
left the shelter of that university
building to flee to the hills. while nurs-
ing the delusion that the Berkeley
police were on her trail, prepared to
immure her in some dreadful dun
geon. Her mind is believed to have
been affected by the experiences OF
the last month, and now it is feared
that she fell a victim to the storm Of
wind and rain, from which she had
no protection save that afforded by a
f1imsy dress and a shawl wrapped
about her head.
The woman's sanity has been ques-
toned by the college people before
during the last month, because of a
practice she INDUCED in Of picking UP
small worthless articles not her own,
and concealing them in the mattress
of her bed. The "co-eds' who have
looked after the comfort of the refu-
gees at Hearst Hall noticed this habit
of the womans, and finally were con-
vinced that she was of unsound mind
Yesterday a telephone message was
sent to Chief of Police Vollmer asking
that an investigation of the woman
refugees sanity be made, and If il
should be found that she was insane
steps to remove her to a hospital be
taken. The woman was given some
inllling of what had been telephoned
to the police, and her feeble mind al
once conjured up visions of avengins
police officials on her trail, prepared
TO visit fearful punishment upon her
With the cunning Of the insane, she
at once eluded the attendants al
Hearst Hall and fed from the place
up into the misty Businesses of the
lonely Berkeley hills. Searching par
ties hunted for her all of last night
and today, but no trace of her was
found. She is believed to have sue
cumbed to the rigors of the storm
little hope being entertained by the
police or the Hearst Hall watchers OF
her recovery.

LAT rs RESPONSIBLE FOR
CAPTURE OF a BURGLAR
Frightened Animal Jumps Through a
Window and the Attention OF
Policeman IL Attracted

OAKLAND, May 27.--To the antics
of frightened cat George Jones. a
colored man, owes the fact that he was
arrested in a saloon last night by
Policeman Reinhardt and is now at
the City Prison charged with burglary.
Jones entered the saloon of Samuel
Benedetti at 1910 Seventh street
through O rear door at $50 o'clock
and as he entered the cat became
frightened and jumped through the
front window, which was open. The
cats sudden leap attracted the police
man, who was passing. An investi-
CATION followed and the colored man
was found hiding behind door. He
meekly submitted to arrest.
The rear door of the saloon had
been opened with a chisel and ham
naer and the tools Were found on Jones
when he was searched at the City
Prison. The hammer fits the linden
tation in the rear door of the saloon
of Denahy & McTavish at Seventh and
West streets that was entered several
nights ago and the police believe that
Jones was responsible for that bur-
glary.
Three slot machines in the saloon
OF Denahy 6 McTaviSh were broken
open and $19 stolen.

Unusual Rain and Wind
Have No Seismic
Origin.

BERKELEY, May 27.-The unusual wet
weather conditions involving a heavy fall
Of rain which has continued for days
during a month that is ordinarily classed
as a dry season month" seems TO have
stirred up public curiosity regarding the
effect that earthquakes may be supposed
20 have upon weather conditions, and one
result OF the curiosity is the receipt by
university savants OF inquiries regard
Ing the matter
Professor O. A. Leuschner. the distin-
guished astronomer, who is in charge OF
the observatory at the university and
who Il regarded as an authority upon
earthquake phenomena, has received a
humber of requests for information upon
the subject Of earthquakes and the
weather" and to all curious persons has
replied in the one sentence as follows:
Earthquakes are never influenced by
the weather. nor do they affect weather
conditions in any way"
Professor Leuschner admits, as do other
scientists, that the amount of knowledge
sayants have on the earthquake subject
Is coTnpa ratively slight and that the field
OF exploration and inquiry in that direc-
tion is almost a virgin one, but while
admitting this he declares that no proof
. ever has been found TO show that earth
uuakes and weather conditions are even
nistantly related.
The curious people who lsent their in
ruiries 70 Professor Leuschner apparently
were inspired both by the circumstance
