OAKLAND. Jan 21.-A curious IN

walls among the criminal classes has
come to light at the County Jail. Some
time ago one of the prisoners. clyde
Gill, was tried for burglary he was
acquitted because the prosecuting VII
ness failed to appear against hlIl- - -
other prisoners considered this a sish
of good luck and when he lert the
Jail several OF them asked for various
articles of his wearing apparel, oeleV-
ing that they might thereby snare nS
luck. 81
To William Bennett he gave ~
coat Bennett was awaiting trlal Tor
burglary and had been detecIea IN
an attempt to break Jail with William
smith. The District Attorneys ONCE
thought that there was clear case
against Bennett and had no doubt or
easily securing his conviction But tne
defendant wore GilTs coat at the trial
and the jury disagreed.
Bennett was jubilant when he re-
turned to the Jail after the disagree

cane from conviction more to the coat
than his lawyer. He bOasted that on
his next trial the coat would orins
about his acquittal.
Harry Carey was put on trial Tor

Lick Students Say
Last Farewell to
the Dead

AS a result OF the suicide OF pretty
Jeanie Mcneil, a student of the Lick
School. at her home in Page street on
Saturday, a storm Of protest against
the school fraternity has arisen all
over the city. To the fact that three
lads attending Lick were recently ini-
tiated into the Gamma Eta Kappa, the
famous secret organization of the Boys
High School, Professor Merrill, prin-
cipal OF the Lick School. attributes the
condition Of mind that prompted Miss
Mcneil to take her own life.
These boys had taken an oath to as
sOciate with none but sorority girls,
and because she was not a member and
therefore ostracized from the society
OF three of her best friends, she deter
mined to kill herself and carried out
her design by shooting herself through
the heart.
Pupils Of the Lick School say the
three lads who decided to speak TO none
but sorority girls were Gerald Ken
ne6y, Robert Weber and Ted Everett
Kennedy denied that he was a member
Of any fraternity and insisted yester-
day that he had never pledged himself
to shun the society OF girls who were
not in Greek letter societies.

having served on the Boards of Educa-
tion of Berkeley anG Alameda. When
seen at his residence, 1867 Pine street,
last evening he said:
I agree with the article in this
mornings Call that the whole trouble
that ended in the tragic death of Miss
Mcneil may be traced to the existence
of sororities in high schools. Sorori-
ties and fraternities may have place
in eolleges-they afford a center and
common meeting ground for young
men or women who come from a dis
tance-but they have no place in high
schools. The children are advancing
too fast and try to initiate older peo
pie in dangerous ways. A sorority
makes for clannishness and snobbery.
have known instances where friends
have been parted by these organizations.
Girls will say to one another: I would
like to be friends with you, but I can
not be seen even talking to you be-
cause you do not belong TO the soror-
ity.'
CLIQUES AND SETS
Il never have approved of the sys-
to any My daughter knew of cliQues
existing at the school. and she knew
that Miss Mcneil did not go with some
Of the sets. But she knew nothing
detrimental to the reputation of
Jeanie, and she has been prostrated
ever since the suicide occurred. From
all that / can learn Miss Mcneil was
an excellent girl, and I can assign no
other explanation for the tragedy than
that she was a child of nervous tenn
permanent and acted hastily over mat
ter which an adult would pass of with
out thought.
'Tt is high testimonial of the girls
gr7,, et,a eF,o

utterly without foundation on her char
acter"
At the Lick School yesterday the
classmates of the dead pupil wore bows
of black ribbon under their classpins
in token of their esteem for the memory
of Miss Mcneil The class of 1907 held
a special meeting at the noon hour to
pass resolutions Of coincidence to be
presented to the family and to arrange
for a floral offering. There Will be
no classroom exercises held today.
The funeral of Miss Mcneil will be
held this morning from the home of
her parents. 1852 Page street. The SER
vices, which will be conducted by Rev
Mr.. Thomas of Howard PRESBYTERIAN
Church, viii be private. The remains
are to be cremated at Odd Fellows Gem
etery. Yesterday a continual stream of
friends visited the house to console the
family and take a final parting with
the mortal remains of the girl. The
parlor. where the body was laid. was
massed with flowers.
About the house was Dewey, the pet
dog Of the girl, who seemed to realize
that grief was in the dwelling and tn
know that his young mistress was not
there to play with him. The lonely dog
went about the house seeking the pres
ence of the dead girl.

the heart out Of the target of a team or
individual and renders all incapable OF i'm
provement until the attacks cease. Isball,
the second baseman of the Chicago Amerf-
cans, incurred the i'll will of the patrons
of his club several seasons ago. Instead
OF submitting to criticism in silence, he
engaged in an exchange of abuse with his
assailants and deteriorated as player
SO much that many wondered at his reten-
ton. President Comiskey said to the player:
The public has weakened on you IsbelI. I
know that you are ball player. Now,
you don't let the people in the stands alone.
I'll keep you out Of the game until the
animosity that Is felt toward you has died
out and then it will be up to you to play
yourself back into public favor. You can
do it. If you'll let the spectators alone
they'll give you square deal" The Old
Romans diagnosis was correct. Isbell,
failure when under fire, developed into one
of the most valuable of the worlds cham
pions OF 1907, and Is as popular as any of
his teammates. The ball player who COM
plains of abuse should not indulge in it IL
he hopes to escape the fate from which
Comiskey saved Isbell. If coarse or insolent
language is addressed to him, he should
affect not to hear 1t until the insults be-
come uncomfortable, and then he should ap-
peal to the officials of his club for protec-
ton. No ball player possesses the profess
sional ability to win personal fight with
the public, and no club should permit a
member of its team to be sacrificed in an
unequal contest. President Hermann has
taken a stand that will insure fair treat
ment for the Cincinnati Reds. If one or
more of HanlOn's players are not up to the
standard, they will be replaced IL better
players can be secured, but the tough ele-
ment of Cincinnati will not be allowed to
tongue-lash promising youngsters out Of
Herrmann's team.
