that they are not reporting half the

ted it impressed upon the physicians
of the county that they must com

statistics law are suffer the conse-
quences The health department viii
in the future send inspectors around

found that the vital statistics law is
being violated steps will be taken to
secure the indictment OF all offend

DR.. Armstrong said he also found
that undertakers were burying peo-
pie here without issuing death GER

HONOR SYSTEM VOTED
DOWN by THE STUDENTS
Professors Will Continue to
Maintain Watch at
Examinations

BERKELEY, Feb. 15.-The proposed
honor system at the State University
failed of adoption by the student body
today 557 votes against the innova-
tion being cast to 522 for the system.
The system which was rejected today
had received the approval of an honor
system committee" of students, and
had been under discussion for nearly a
year. BY it's provisions students were
to be relieved from espionage now
maintained by professors during ex-
aminations, and each student would be
required to sign statement testifying
on his honor that he had received no
aid in the examination through which
he had just passed.
Three years ago another honor sys-
tenn, the provisions of which were
slightly different was presented to the
students for approval and was de-
feated by vote of about two to one.

to Tally Clerks Is
Impending

Probably Walk Out

OAKLAND, Feb. 15.-A general tie

tion agree to an increase greater than
that already offered. They declared
that such an increase as that demanded
by the men was impossible, and that
the members of the association could
not even if they were willing, grant
the demand.
Equally positive was the statement
of President William James of the
Longshoremens Union that the men
would walk out in a body on Monday
if the demands of the union were not
granted. If the strike is ordered five
hundred. men will be affected, and the
shipping in Oakland harbor will be,
at least in part, tied up for an in
definite time.
The yardmen and roller men are at
present receiving So a day, and they
demand so cents an hour for nine
hours work. The lumber dealers have
offered the following scale of wages.

sters and tally clerks, but refused by
the longshoremen: Transfers, $3.50;
yardmen, $3.50; men on rollers, 81, and

SON DIES IN POVERTY
Wealthy San Franciscan Re
fused to Extend Aid to
Afflicted Boy

Lucien Peter Bacigalupi, the blind
son of Peter Bacigalupi, the wealthy
local agent for the Edison phonograph
and other amusement devices died re-
Gently in a Chicago rooming house in
destitute circumstances.
At the end he was attended only by a
blind schoolmate, Rasendo Uruchurtu.
Over year ago young Bacigalupi sued
his father for support. The complaint
of the son was a pitiful document mar
rating the helplessness of his condition.
1t stated that the youth was at that
time dependent upon the bounty of his
grandmother, whose resources were but
meager In his answer to the complaint
the wealthy impresario of talking ma
chimes declared that he was unable to
contribute to the sons support owing
to the demands made on his purse by
his family which included several
daughters who were in society. The
suit created much feeling at the time.
and when it was on Judge Hebbard's s
calendar the father was bitterly ar
raigned by the court for his neglect of
the afflicted son. But the parent finally
won his case. Without means of
support, the blind youth endeavored
to earn his living by singing on the
concert stage, but did not succeed.
Last summer he went East.
