BERKELEY, Sept. 1.-From the lips
of President Benjamin Ide Wheeler has
came reproof, directed against the
sorority maidens of the university who
have hitherto been so thoughtless as to
take pride and pleasure in their deSig-
nation as sorority girls" and who fam
cied il innocent and good so to do.
President Wheeler has set the sorority
camps buZzing in a discussion OF his
diatribe against the use of the very
word sorority" and his added rebuke
of the '-co eds who desire to take part
In college sports and other college act
ivities in something like the same fash
ion that college men practice.
Sororities as organizations are not
tabooed by President Wheeler. but he
would prefer-much prefer-that
they be called fraternities. as
the Greek letter organizations
patronized by the men students are
known. He so informed the Co eds
at their first meeting of the college
year, held this week in Hearst Hall.
Other things he told, them, with regard
to basket ball playing, and similar
sports which the college maidens have
hitherto fancied because they helped,
as they supposed, to bring them
somewhere to the plane of the men who
make of college sport a fad and who
gain fame through that medium.

Now, the sorority girls would like
very much, as dutiful college girls, to
please President Wheeler in this little
matter of name for their beloved Sc
cret societies, but there is an insuper-

sororities-provides that they shall be

SOLAR PLEXUS FOR
The DUTCHESS.

OAKLAND. Sept. J.-Notice has been
received at the Office of the Dutchess
Fire Insurance Company in the Albany
Hotel building that the o-Acers on the
corporation have been cited to appear
before the Department of Insurance in
the State of New York and show cause
why the financial affairs of the COM
pany should not be placed in the hands
OF a receiver because of the impair
ment of the capital of the concern
through it's San Francisco losses. The
representatives of the Dutchess Com
pany asked Cor stay of proceedings,
and next Monday was set as the time
when the attorneys of the corporation
are to appear before the Department
of Insurance of New York State and
explain the status of the company.
The matured liabilities of the Dutch
ess Company resulting from the San
Francisco catastrophe amount to about
$1,000, goo. and the capital and surplus
of the company on July l of this year
did not exceed 100000 The company
has been settling with its creditors at
80 cents on the dollar. and nearly one
half of the losses of the concern in San
Francisco have already been disposed
of on this basis Speaking of the con-
dition of the Dutchess Company. one of
the adjusterg for the firm said:
We have been settling with our San
francesca patrons with lnatuTeO losses
on a basis of 80 cents on the dollar.
the best that the directors of the
Dutchess Company found they could
do after they learned how hard lit the
firm was by the nre and earthquake.
Our San Francisco losses amounted to
81 100000 approximately. and our cap
ital and surplus on July I were
in round numbers 100000. Since
the 1st of August we have set
tied about one-half OF the claims
against the company at the rate
of 80 cents on the dollar and could
probably wind UP the affairs of the
company on the same basis. in about
sixty days if we were permitted to go
ahead

of the Dutchess if the company is not
thrown into the hands of a receiver.

we will wind up the affairs of the

least 80 cents on the dollar If a re-
