VALUE OF MANS FINGER
is PLACED AT $500

Judge Graham has fixed the price
of mans finger at $500. The own
er of the finger thought it was worth
$3.50, but the judge determined on
the smaller sum, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner.
James L. Scanlan, an employe of
the Stauffer Chemical works, is the
man whose finger has been apprais-
ed. Scanlon was working in a mine
belonging to the corporation and
through an accident injured the third
finger of his left hand and amputa-
ton was necessary He brought suit
against the company for $275O and
jury rendered a Judgment for this
amount.
A motion was made for a new trial
and Judge Graham yesterday an
nounced that unless the plaintiff
would accept $500 for the loss of his
finger he would grant the motion for
new trial.

TO STAMP OUT
SCHOOL FRATERNITIES

Berkeley, Cal.-No such ultimatum
to the high school fraternities has
ever been issued in this state as was
uttered recently by superintendent
Frank F. Bunker. of the Berkeley
schools. The students were told that
unless the charter of every fraternity
and sorority in the school is returned
to the national headquarters. those
who retained membership would be
summarily expelled from the schools.
In a lengthy denunciation of the So
cieties, which have existed in spite of
several rulings of the board of edu-
cation, Bunker declared that the fra
ternities not only disrupted the school
but also aroused a false social feel
ing by the promotion Of cliques. In
addition, he contended, membership
was an interference with studies.

Ininns Play Gonhers.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 2O.-An
important inter-sectlopal football
game will be decided on Northrup
Field tomorrow. when the redskins
of Carlisle Indian school tackle the
Gophers of the University OF Mime
sofa. While Minnesota has been de-
feated recently by both Chicago and
Wisconsin, and thus has lost all
chance of winning the midwest
championship, the Gophers are still
able to present strong front and will
give the invading savages a run for
their money. Carlisle's overwhelm-
ing defeat by Harvard has put heart
into the Minnesota rooters, although
few are so optimistic as to believe that
the Gophers can win out.
