Californis's colleges must come for
ward to defend the beauty Of. their
fair co-eds The ardent swain Of a
lovely Berkeley maiden has sent her
photograph toaThe Sunday Call to be
entered in the state beauty contest.
He declares her TO be the most beau
tifuI young woman in California and
says:
'-She is considered the most stun
ming girl In college, and If not the most
beautiful woman in the State, at any
rate there isn't any college girl TO
compare with her stanford or any
OF the rest Of them can't touch her.
What's more. she has blue eyes and
golden hair"
There is a challenge in that state
ment that win arouse a strong desire in
the breast OF every college student IN
the State outside OF Berkeley to cast
back the words into the teeth Of the
bold University Of California under

BILLS IN GOOD SHAPE
Business Could Be Finished
by Saturday, but Payroll
Still Lures
By George A. Van Smith
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
I00y EsVGHTU STIR EEcT,

-
SACRAMENTO, March 3.-Respousi-
bility for fixing the date for the final
adjournment of the Thirty-seventh
Legislature is to be placed gently but
firmly on the shoulders of the Assem-
bly,. Possibly the lower house may be
compelled TO agree upon next Saturday
as the day for the separation of the
attaches from the payroll, but wednes-
day, March 13, is a more probable date.
For more than a week the Senate
has had its work so well in hand that
it could finish up all that is pro-
grammed for final consideration and
get through on from three to four days
notice. Down in the Assembly the
work is not so well in hand, but it is
claimed by veteran attendants upon
legislative sessions that 1t is in better
shape than 1T has been at any corre-
spending period in many years, even
in the Assembly.
An agreement between the houses on
the date of adjournment apparently
hinges somewhat on what is claimed to

BERKELEY MEN PREPARE
CAMPAIGN FOR CAPITAL

BERKELEY, March 3.--In the act
of the Legislature which provides for
the submission to the people the ques-
tion of removing the capital from Sac
ramento to Berkeley. citizens of the
college town see the harbinger of sue
cess for them, and the beginning of
the end, they have in view. The argu-
ments that have moved the Legislature
to decide by a big, comfortable ma
jority in favor of Berkeley's contention
will convince a large majority of the
States voters that Berkeley deserves
to be the capital city, according to the
view of business men here. That is
why the Legislatures action so thor
oughly pleases Berkeley.
Anyb body who -imagines that it was
smooth sailing or an easy task to bring
the Legislature to pass the bill provid-
ing for an election on the capital re-
moval question is ignorant of the facts,
as small host of Berkeley men will be
pleased to testify. The way was
stacles in plenty had to be removed;
prejudces had to be whitfield down;
mems minds were biased and inclined
to treat the whole matter lightly; there
was necessarily sharp, vigorous fire
of red hot arguments, before ma
jority of two-thirds of the Legislature
could be induced to commit themselves
to the removal project.
Because such work was necessary to
get the matter to its present status, and
because first-class arguments and Wig
orous action brought about results
which the wiseacres declared could
never be- Berkeley men now have alb
solute confidence that in the larger
campaign to be fought out before the
people of the State victory can be won
and won withnthe same weapons that
prevailed so strikingly at Sacramento.
There will be little period of wait
ing during the next fortnight, until
Governor Gillett goes through the for
mality of signing the BILL and, when
that is done, the campaign which
Berkeley's Chamber of Commerce plans
to carry on throughout the State will
be on in full blast II as to be a sys-
tematic, carefully considered campaig gn.
Its keynote will be the sounding of
Berkeley's many advantages as cap
ital site and a complete abstention
from any railing at Sacramento or crit
icism of that city's merits as a metrop-
oils
The business men of the town will
tax themselves to provide the litera-
ture which voters of the State will be
asked to read. There will be flood of
this literature, and it will be carefully
prepared. and each argument it in
clndes is expected to be shot at the
bullseye.
Voters will be shown that money can
be made and saved by putting the
capital at Berkeley; that the govern
ment can be better and more econom-
icaHy administered here than at Sacra-
mento; that business sense and far
sighted statesmanship call for a re-
moval of the capital to Berkeley, and
that now is the time for making the
change

be a tentative agreement on the gen.
eral appropriations bill. AS soon as
that bill is in the hands of the Gov
ernor an effort will be made to get to-
gether on the part of the leaders in
the two houses. The initiative must,
however, come from the Assembly. If
the lower house sends to the Senate
a resolution fixing the date of adjourn
ment later than the last of this week
the Senate will probably amend it to
read Saturday. March 9, and let the
statesmen of the lower house struggle
with it as they may. and quite Incl
dentally accept all the responsibility
for prolonging the session beyond the
sixty third day.
rhe fac. that less tnan a tenth of
the whole number of measures intro
duced have been passed along to the
Governor for his approval or veto has
no real bearing on the situation. The
Senate has passed, or is in a position
to pass, almost Immediately all the
business IL intends to permit the Chief
Executive to have a chance at, and is
quite willing to offset any responsible
ity the Assembly may attempt to pass
it for failure to consider pet measures
of Assemblymen. with the responsible
ity for prolorgation of the session,
which the Assembly must accept.
The general appropriation bill is in
such shape that it should with dill
gence be sent to the Governor on Tues
day Then the Senate will discover
that 1t has done it's full duty by the
State, assume an economical attitude.
and with austere dignity wait for the
Assembly to consent to relieve the tax
payers OF further drains and Sacra-
mentc of the presence Of the now thor
oughly reprobated Legislature. After
tomorrow Senate committee meetings
will be largely matters of form. beside
of marked infrequency. Virtually all
the Assembly bills that are to be per-
mitted to go through are on the fles,

RELIEF WORK COMPLETED
Santa Rosa Committee Finishes the
Task Imposed

SANTA ROSA, March 3.-with the
opening OF March the last employe of
the Santa Rosa relief committee re-
tired and the work of caring for the
sufferers of the fire and disaster of last
April was practically closed. The City
Council received over SOS, 5000, and a
committee headed by Councilman w. ID.
Reynolds, with II. ]. Waters as secre-
tary and distributing officer, handled
the money.
Some weeks ago a relief commission
was named and after investigation re-
ported plan for the distribution of
some $4,000 as permanent relief. This
report the council approved and paid
the sufferers the amounts suggested
with few exceptions. There is now
about $4,000 on hand for emergency
cases.

Whose beauty lights the foam?
Who, sailors say, is from Paradise?
Well here is where she's home.
Know Helen of Troy Sheekaga?
Well she shone in her day
She left her looks to her female line:
They live in San Jose.

MEN IN CHARGE OF
DESPERATE CRIMINAL

Two detectives from the Michigan
penitentiary passed through the city
last night, on train No. 6, from Califor'
mia, having in charge one of the mos
desperate criminals in America. The
detectives were Keogh and Kane, both
attached to the institution, and the
criminal, whose name was not given
escaped from that institution some
time ago. The stop here was just long
enough for the conductor to register
his train, and the three men occupied
a drawing in a standard Pullman
in which the prisoner was heavily iron
ed and accompanied at all times by the
two men in charge, who do not intend
to let him get away. He will not eve
be transferred, but the same Pullman
will carry him through to the Michigan
~penitentiary.
