university work into the last two
years. the smaller colleges of the state
were encouraged and strengthened by
the admission of their graduates to
Junior standing in the university.
Pomona, Occidental and the Univer-
sity of Southern California were the
smaller institutions of learning placed
upon this basis. Their graduates were
welcomed at the university and ad-
mitted without examination to the
Junior year of the university
The second step in the development
was taken in 1903 when the university
was internally affected by the separa-
tion in the culture colleges of the first
two and last two years. This step linked
the freshman and sophomore years to
the preparatory schools, while the
junior and senior years were placed on
different footing. The breach sep
arating the upper and lower division
work, as the line of demarcation was
called. was widened by the requirement
that all preliminary and elemental
work must be finished before the stu
dent received his junior certificate.
The passage of the bill at the last
Legislature presented by Senator Can't
netti giving high school trustees the
privilege of lengthening the high school
course to six years was the third step
In the development of the university
system.
On Thursday the consideration of the
provisions Of the academic regulation
for the creation of an upper and lower
division In all colleges in the university
and the freeing of some entrance re-
strictions now required of entrants Will
be another step toward placing the
University of California on a university
level, as advocated for Stanford by
President Jordan.
Every Tuesday night for the past
certificate has been at work on num-
Der of provisions which, while they
have been adopted in part by the aca-
demic council of the university, Will be
considered as a whole for final adop-
ton at the meeting on Thursday after

Eastern Buying Orders
Do the Rest

Reports of important strikes and ru-
mors of a proposed merger of the
three leading Tonopah mining COM
panies boosted the price of Tonopah
of Nevada 80 points. that of Tonopah
Extension 16h points and that OF Mon
tana Tonopah is points on the San
Francisco stock and exchange board
yesterday. While the rumors of a
possible merger of the three mentioned
companies had considerable influence
on the tone of the market they were
not verified. Upon what basis such a
deal may be effected was not learned.
No sooner did the news reach this
city than buying orders for these three
securities began to pour in from the
east The result was that the high
prices were sustained throughout the
entire day. Tonopah of Nevada closed
at So, Tonopah Extension at $1.3o and
Montana Tonopah at $1.S5. Sales in
other Tonopahs were confined to Mac
Namara and West End. the former
closing at SIC and the latter at 36c,
loss Of 1 point for each.
Buying in Goldf1elds was confined to
the Merger, which closed at s5.771a, as
against $50 on Monday, and Florence
at $4.12k, as against s4.021s on the
previous day. Combination Fraction
was largely dealt in, but closed at 73c,
a gain of 1 point over Mondays top
sales.
Ophir of the Comstock list lost Is
points, as did Mexican, the former
closing at $3.50 and the latter at $1.25.
Crown Point was among the losers,
closing at 4oc, loss of 9 points. Con-
soldated Virginia sold at SIC, loss Of
1 point. OF the outside districts Pitts
burg Silver Peak was actively dealt
in, but lost 10 points during the day,

Vagrancy Charge Brought
Fine and Jail Sentence

Oliver Preston, who belongs to a
well-known family of negroes in Hat
tiesburg, was the star attraction in
the police court yesterday morning.
He was charged with vagrancy.
Several officers testified that they
saw him frequently and that he was
never seen at work. In fact, he was
seen around the Northeastern depot
most of the time and right often in
the bottoms, but none of the officers
had ever seen him at work. Some
of the officers testified that he spent
a great deal of his time in watching
them while around the depot. One
of the officers had seen him hauling
booze, which he claimed as his own.
His mother testified that she had
Oliver employed to look after her bus
mess and that while she paid him no
regular salary, he was allowed all
the money he needed. She further
stated that Oliver had been sick for
some time and was not able to work.
After hearing all the evidence, JUS
tice johnson fined the negro 500 and
sentenced him to 80 days in Jail. The
hIdge said that almost ever since he
could remember, the name of Preston
had been associated with blind tiger
ism. At this point the mother of Oil
yer Preston arose and said she had
never sold drop of whiskey in her
life; Judge johnson stated that the
supreme court had held that a per-
son to save himself from charge of
vagrancy must have an honest occu-
patton.

High Officials of the

that the special train, bearing the
high officials of the road, was in
the city, it was hoped that Captain
Curran hal come to bring the well
come and long-expected tidings that
a new passenger station was soon to
be built, but the officials evidently
did not come to cheer the hearts of
Hattiesburgans in this way, for, as
stated, they spent the greater portion
of their time at the Mississippi Cent
raj offices, having the special train
carried up to the junction where they
got aboard for Meridian.
While no statement has been made
as to when the Northeastern will
take up the matter of affording re
spectacle accommodations to the PEG
pie who patronize it out of Hattiesi
burg, it is said that the officials recog
nize the necessity of new station
here, but they will not likely take III
the matter before June, and it is moi
certain that they will take it up then.
