at Oxford
BRILLIANT STUDENT
Now Occupying Position OF
Secretary to Benjamin
Ide Wheeler
BRILLIANT STUDENT

BERKELEY March 1S.-Farnham L.
Griffiths, private secretary to President
Wheeler, has been named officially as
Rhodes scholar from California. The
recent choice of Griffiths by the sub
committee composed of professors or
Stanford, Pomona and Berkeley col
leges has been ratified by the principal
committee, which includes president
Wheeler, President David Starr JORDAN
and President Norton of Pomona. An
nouncement of this action was made
by President Wheeler today.
Griffiths will accept the Rhodes
scholarship, although he was not
candidate for the honor this year He
took the examination in 1904 and quail
fed at that time, but did not receive
the appointment, William c. Crittenden
finding favor with the judges who had
the final word. The rules governing
the competition for the Rhodes scholar
ships permit the committee TO select
any of those who have qualified in pre-
vious years, as well as those whose ex-
aminations occurred during the cur
rent year. and Grifiths accordingly was
eligible this year.
Griffiths graduated in 1906. He sue
ceeded Eugene r. Hallett as secretary
to President Wheeler, after college
career where he shone brilliantly as
student and debater. The scholarship
he is to receive will insure him an
income of $500 year at OXFORD Tor
three years. The term at oxford be-
gins on October 1, 1907.

HALL FOR ST. JAMES
BOYS SCHOOL OPENED
Literary and Musical Programme for
ST Patrick's Day Celebration
Mark Buildings Completion

With an excellent literary and musi-
cal programme the new assembly hall
for the st. James Boys School was
formally opened last night, the occa-
sion being in part celebration of St.
Patricks day. The classrooms will be
occupied next week. Much credit is
given to Rev. P. r. Lynch, pastor of
St. James Church, for his efforts in
behalf of the school, which is said to
be the leading institution of learning
of it's kind in San Francisco.
The new assembly hall. which is To-
Gated in Fair Oak and Twenty frs [
streets. will be used principally for the
students of the school, but will also
be of service in church work. The cost
of the new building, in addition to the
price of the lot, was $4,000. 1t was
begun a month before the earthquake
and after the great disaster it was
feared that 1t never would be COM
pleted. But Father Lynch was inde-
fatigable and succeeded in carrying out
his plans. In recognition of his work
he was presented with beautiful floral
piece by Mrs. James Rolph Jr. last
night.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


NEW YORK. March 1S-District At
torney Jerome at noon today closed
the case of the prosecutions rebuttal
in the trial OF Harry X Thaw with a
victory which, If not his greatest since
the trial began, ranks second in impor-
tance only to the testimony of J. Clinch
Smith
With the last obstacle overcome he
read to the jury the affidavit dictated
in Evelyn Nesbit's presence on October
81, 1903, and signed by her under oath
the same evening. In that instrument
she accused Thaw of unspeakable bru-
tality against her and told how he
had scourged her with a whip because e
she refused to subscribe falsely 20
charges he intended to use for the pun
ishment of Stanford White.
Evelyn Thaw in all probability has
made her last appearance on the stand.
There is now good reason to hope the
case may go to the jury by Friday
or Saturday fof this week. When the
peoples case in rebuttal closed the de-
fense opened its surrebutta1 by enter
ing in evidence the record OF Abraham
H. Hummers indictments and convic-
tions.
In summing up, Delmas, 1t IS be-
lieved, will attempt to convince the
jury, despite the Photographic evidence
that the Hummel deposition bearing
the name OF Evelyn Nesbit is spurious
1t is expected Delmas will sum UP
for the defense probably on Wednesday
In that event Jerome's closing address
for the prosecution will be made on
Thursday and the court will deliver the
charge either on Thursday or Friday.
The jury will then retire to deliberate
upon it's verdict
