scoop, STORES A SUCCESS.

BERKELEY, June 26.-President
Wheeler has written to j. y. Thomas
Jr., president of the college stores
corporation, a letter certifying to the
prosperity of the "Co-operatiye" store
on the campus here Thomas has used
the letter, with communications from
other university presidents on the
subject, in a book descriptive OF the
rise and growth of the cooperative
idea In university stores conducted for
the benefit of students. The cooper
ative store on the campus at Berkeley
is the Oldest in America, according to
this booklet, having been started In
1884, two years before Harvard organ
ized its store. Yale started such a
store three years ago. Princeton's
store Is only year old.
President Wheelers opinion regard
ing the Coop" here in his letter to
President Yhofnas is as follows:
Dear Mr.. Thomas: Our co-opera-
tive store at Berkeley is thorough
success. We could not get along now
without it. 1t is well managed and
provides many supplies, such as text
books which it would not be easy
on account of the isolation OF Califor-
MIA to get through ordinary shops. Its
prices are reasonable and tend to pre-
vent overcharging on the part of shops
in the town. At the same time the
prices are not put as low as to inter-
fere with other peoples business.
AN per cent rebate to purchasers
at the end of the year has been found
possible for the last three years, and
meantime the stock of goods has stead
lily increased and improved.

ALAMEDA, June 26.-There has been
no movement here for two days of the
machinery of the courts because of the
absence from the bench of the local
magistrates. AS a result a number of
citizens who were summoned to be
present in court today and yesterday
and who obeyed, only to find that there
was no one in charge of the judicial
departments, were very much disap-
pointed. Not a few of them who were
nettled at the delay and trouble they
were put to talked of bringing the sit
uation to the attention of the Board
of Supervisors and City Trustees
City Justice r. B. Tappan has been
out of town on a vacation. Justice of
the Peace Fred s. Cone failed to appear
in court yesterday morning to try the
case of Edward Waldier. charged with
brutaIly battering Mrs. Mary Kennedy.
When the magistrate did not show up
or send word as TO his whereabouts the
witnesses, defendant, complaining wit
ness and others interested in the case
were dismissed by Sergeant of Police
Albert Kamp
Yesterday afternoon the cases of five
Cinnamon charged with gambling were
set for hearing Before Justice of the
Peace Cone, but again the magistrate
failed to appear. After a walt of an
hour a Chinaman who is assisting in

announced that the cases would go
over until tomorrow afternoon. He said
that he had communicated with the at
torney for the defendants and received
such information.
This morning the case of Waldier,
which had been continued by Police
Sergeant Kamp. was again scheduled
for trial before Justice of the Peace
Cone, but for the second time the court
did not appear Judge James A Way
mire and his daughter. who had been
summoned as witnesses, were indig-
nant at the failure of the magistrate
to be on hand. The witnesses were In
formed by the police that as soon as

The tears and protestatons INDUCED

CHEAPER BRIDGE
WILL BE BUILT
Santa Clara and San Ma
teo Counties Forced
to RetrenCh.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

PALO ALTO. June 2S.-The question
of the erection of the POpe-Street
bridge is again being discussed and
people of both counties expect definite
action in a short time. Last winter
the Supervisors OF Santa Clara County
and OF San Mateo County adopted
plans for the proposed structure that
was TO cost S400, 900. This sum was to
have been raised by contributions from
both counties. from the city of PalO
Alto and from the prOperty-Owners
who would have been benefited by the
Improvement
Each county is now under tFemen-
dous expense for the restoration of it's
public buildings and may not be in a
position to contribute as largely as was
promised TO the fund For that reason
the interested parties have proposed
that less costly structure be built
and the expense adjusted so that the
counties would not feel Ia so severely.
BY some new arrangement it is
hoped that the bridge. which is neces-
sary to the development of Nortb1
Palo Alto and the outlying districtsA
may be built during the summer.

PEMBROKE is IN LUCK.

OAKLAND, June ga sensation was
sprung in the trial of Percy Pembroke
this afternoon when George Blaker and
John Schneider, both serving life SEN
tences for completely in the crime, re-
fused to take the stand and testify
law that the testimony of a witness
given at a former trial cannot be read
as long rs the witness is within the
jurisdiction OF the court it precludes
the vidence of the two youths getting
before the jury. District Attorney AL
len finds himself in a position probably
never paralleled. Both youths are un-
der life sentence and cannot be pun
ished for contempt of court, and it
looks as though the important evil
dence given by them will be lost to the
prosecution.
Bakers testimony was most impor-
tant, for in all the confessions made by
Pembroke and Schneider neither pre-
tended to say what actually took place
when Thomas Cook, their victim, gave
up the money sack. Pembroke says
that he ran away when he saw Blaker
and Schneider strike the first blow.
Schneider says that he ran away when
he saw Pembroke and B1aker attack
Cook. In this way what actually trans
pired after the first blow was struck
and who took part in the attack were
jury. Blaker at Pembrokes second
trial went on the stand and detailed
the entire crime. and 1T was mainly
upon his testimony that the prosecution
was relying for conviction.
In explanation of their action Baker
and Schneider state that,they are fear
full OF the workings of the kangaroo
court" While the court at San Quentin
is thing in name only. they state men
are killed there for less and they in
tend TO take no chances.
Pembrokes case, in the light of to-
days developments, looks much bright
er. With the elimination of the strong
est evidence against him his attorney,
Lin Church, and the boys family have
taken on new hope and a determined
effort is to be made to clear him of the
charge.
The fathers of the three boys were
all in court this afternoon, and a no
ticeable thing was that friendly rela-
tions have been established among
them.

GRAND jury I'm SESSION.

OAKLAND, June 26.-The Grand Jury
today took up the consideration of
matters left unfinished at its last meet
ing prior to the earthquake, including
that of the defaleation of the late
County Treasurer A w. Feidler.
Deputy Treasurer Charles Husband, 1t
is said, has been offered a position in
the East and wishes TO leave town and
wants the investigation disposed of be-
fore he goes. Some testimony has been
offered to the effect that he had knowl-
edge of what Fielder was doing and
that he had made himself liable by not
Informing upon him.
Late this afternoon the Grand Jury
had Judges Ellsworth, Ogden, Waste
and Harris in consultation, but no def
mite action was taken in the matter.
Husbands statement to the Grand Jury
was to the effect that he discovered
that Feidler had used some of the funds
of the county for his personal use, but
that he had made the amounts good.
When he finally began to dip into the
funds belonging 10 Htigants in the
courts Husbands claim is that he had
no way OF knowing whether the fund
was short OF not, as Feidler had this
money in his own keeping.
