OAKLAND PRINCIPAL
SCORES 'FRATS'
j. III. Pond Says the School.
Societies are "Rot" and
a Menace to Good Work
CRUSADE IN CHICAGO

OAKLAND, Nov 21-The reports of
the agitation by the authorities against
'frats" in the Chicago high schools, in
which the organizations are scored as
nuisances and degenerating in their
influence upon school life find an echo
here in the statements of James III.
Pond, principal of the Oakland High
School in which he characterizes the
"frats" as rot" and declares that his
own children shall never be allowed to
join any of the societies in question
when they reach high school age.
Admitting the impossibility of pre-
venting the formation of cliques among
the students. Principal Pond declares
that the "frats" are fatal to a proper
school spirit on account of the bitter
feeling which arises between members
of the societies and unsuccessful can
didates for admission. Oakland II II
School, in the opinion of its chief. is n
the advance of the anti-frat move
ment, and as proof of this he pointed
to the last election held for the editor
ship of the Aegis. the annual pub
lished by the pupils.
1t was formerly over this election
that the greatest animosity was shown
and parties were formed, strictly on
frat" and "anti-frat" lines, advancing
the interests of the respective candi-
dates with the utmost disregard for
any other qualification. 1t was due to
suggestion of Principal Pond which
led to the elimination of these con-
ditions, and at the last election the
parties voted under the names of re
form and mon partisan" The use of
the school building was long ago denied
for frat" purposes and gradually the
Improvement was brought about and at
present the institution is free from the
evils of frat" spirit.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The death
of Robert Vance Freeman, a member
of DR.. Wiley's boric acid poison

during the experiments. The young
man died from tuberculosis. Records

Il know the food test killed my son."
said Mrs. Freeman .oday. His stom-
ach was destroyed by the poisons he
was forced to swallow and for the last
three years he has been a total wreck.
His stomach was eaten out absolutely,
and as a result he could not retain
food or medicine. He has been critical
ly Ill for many months and we have
been expecting his death at any time.
There are several who have suffered
almost to death through the tests. and
they want me to push the prosecution

CURIOUS CONTENTS
Of OLD BOX

Little did Maurice Schmitt think when
he inclosed an invitation to his own
wedding in the cornerstone box OF the
old Stock Exchange building that 1t
would fall to his lot to remove 1t from
it's hiding place more than thirty years
afterward- In emptying the box yes-
terday the second thing he took from it
was the invitation to his wedding, to
take place wednesday. May 3, 1875. and
flood OF old memories came to his
mind as the faded piece of paper met
his gaze.
There was a group OF interested spec
tators at the opening OF the box
Among them were several who lived
to remember the golden days when the
box was placed with its various con-
tents in the building. or these were
Jere Lynch and Maurice Schmitt
In the box were found many curious
articles which will be long preserved
as souvenirs There were copies OF
papers published at that time. pieces Of
coin, certificates of mining stock. per-
sonal business cards. street-car trans
fers, railroad tickets. a dance pro-
gramme, a s2e Confederate note. a list
of the employees of the building, the
bylaws of the Exchange a copy OF the
municipal reports for the year previous
to the laying of the cornerstone and.
several other things of minor import
ance.

ALAMEDA. Nov. 21.-The resigna-

School and who in letters to relatives
here wrote that she had married

Miss Garratt. or Mrs. Florence Da-
kim" as she signed herself in her note
of resignation to School Superintendent
Fred T. Moore, was connected with the
school department for nearly ten years.
She left Alameda on the 26th of last
month, about the time that Charles
Dakin. an employe of the Long Syrup
and Refining Company of San Fran
cisco. disappeared. leaving a shortage
in his accounts of $4,000 and a wife
and two children in the city across
tho bay.
shortly after her departure from Ala
media Miss Garratt. in a communica-
tion to her sister in this city, said that
she had become the wife OF Dakin at
San Jose. An inspection of the mar
riage license record of Santa Clara
County failed to reveal that any license
had been issued to Florence Garratt
and Charles Dakin. Relatives and
friends of the former teacher believe
that If she really married Dakin she
was duped into the union and was un-

llILER FINDS BARS
SAHED THROUGH
Break From Jail in Alameda
County Is Averted by a
Pair of Very Alert Ears
TWO MEN SUSPECTED

OAKLAND, Nov. 21.-A desperate at
tempt TO effect a break at the Alameda
County iaiI now under course of re-
construction. was thwarted today by
the discovery of two saws cleverly
made out Of table knives, with which
two steel bars over a bathroom window
had been partially cut. William G
Bennett and William Smith, two young
prisoners awaiting trial on the charge
Of burglarizing the Hotel Clarendon in
Oakland several weeks ago, are sus-
pected Of having sawed the bars and
have been placed in solitary confine-
ment. although they both vigorously
deny their guilt.
II was three days ago that Chief
Jailer Percy White noticed q low. rasp-
ing sound as of 2 saw on steel while
he was passing through the main hall of
the county Jail He located the sound
as coming from the upper south corri-
dor After the prisoners had been
locked in their cells that night he and
Sheriff Barnet investigated and found
that a beginning had been made to saw
through the bars across a skylght win
dow in bathroom.
with a view to catching the daring
criminals in the act Of saving the
bars a close watch was placed upon
Bennett and Smith, who were occupy
ing the same cell and seemed to be
particularly friendly. 1t was noticed
that they spent a great deal of time in
the bathroom. but they could not be
detected in the act OF saving. They
were finally taxed with trying to es-
cape but insisted upon their innocence.
Chief Jailer White was successful.
however. this morning in finding the
knives that had been made into saws.
One was silver plated and the 9TH
er iron with a black wood handle.
They had been hidden beneath a board
Of the floor in the bathroom that had
been pried up.
Bennett and Smith were confronted
with the saws this morning and sub
iected TO a rigorous sweating" at the
hands Of Chief Jailer White and Sher-
if Barnet Upon their refusing to con-
fess they were placed in separate dark
cells. and a further effort will be made
TO secure the admission from them
that they used the saws. Chief Jailer
White states that he has not the slight
est doubt of their guilt Attempting a
jailbreak is a State prison offense in
itself for which q heavy sentence may
be imposed.
Even If Bennett and Smith had been
able to cut their way through the bars
10 the roof OF the Jail il is Improbable
that they could have escaped. Since
the building Of the new jail twas COM
rnenced and the vail about the old jail
torn down Sheriff Barnett has
maintained a guard day and night out
side OF the Jail as well as inside. Any
prisoner trying to get away would run
risk of being shot before he could
leave the immediate vicinity Of the Jail
