PROF. pRfsslAR TO
TAKE ALABAMA POST
Well Knewn University of Cali
fornia Faculty Member Ac-
cepts Southern Promotion
Berkeley Students and Friends
Arrange Banquets in Honor
of His Leaving

BERKELEY, Nov. 30.-Dr. Fletcher
Bascom Dresslar. associate professor
of the science and art of teaching
connected with the department of edu-
cation of the university for the last
II years and considered one of the
highest faculty members, has tend
cred his resignation to President
Wheeler and will accept the chair OF
education and philosophy at the Uni
versity of Alabama the first of the
year. The broad field offered in the
southern university, combined with the
higher salary rendered and the honor
of being the head of a department,
caused Professor Dresslar to leave the
university. The regents have not as
yet accepted his resignation. nor has
his successor been selected.
A graduate of the University of In
diana with the class of 1889, Professor
Dresslar, after taking his masters de-
gree from his alma mater and his doc
tors degree from the Clark Uniyer-
sity. came to this state in the early
nineties to join the staff of the state
normal schol at Los Angeles. He was a
contemporary there of DIR. E. r.
Brown, formerly of the faculty of the
university and now commissioner OF
education or the United states gov
ernment.
DR.. Dresslar's application of methods
OF teaching the principles of educa-
ton resulted in his appointment to the
faculty of the University of Califor-
MIA in 1897. He was one of the most
brilliant members of the department
under DIR. Brown, at that time pro-
fessor of education, and is now consid-
cred one of the foremost educators OF
the state. The university faculty Will
keenly feel his loss
A worker for the best in the school
department, Professor Dresslar took an
active interest in the school system OF
this state, and it was largely due to
his influence that many changes were
made for the betterment of the sys-
tenn. AS president of the Teachers
association of the state, he was active
during the last campaign in defeating
the pernicious amendment proposed
to place the state board of education
in the hands of the politicians and
book sellers
The field to which Professor Dresslar
goes is one of the most prolific from
the educational standpoint in the coun-
try. 1t was largely on account OF It's
great possibilities that he severed his
connection with the university. Presi-
dent Abbercrombie of the University
of Alabama. during his long tenure of
Office, has built up a wonderful institu-
tion, which, although small in num-
ber of students as compared TO the
larger colleges of the country, has a
field for development possessed by
few. universities.
A number of banquets have been ar
ranged in honor of Or. Oresslar before
his leave taking The students in his
seminary courses will tender him a
complimentary dinnsr December in
the Piedmont park clubhouse. Among
those who will be present besides the
guest of honor are:

TOMALES. Nov 30.--Four men who
say they are examining the Tomales
oil fields to ascertain the extent of oil

information regarding themselves.
have been the cause of much specula-
tion by the farmers near here for the
last week. Camping by themselves.
carefully studying the geology of the
country and searchingly Investigating
all evidence showing the presence of
oil, the men have covered the entire
area but are still at work. People who
lived here several years ago when oil
was first discovered In this section
believe the men are Standard Oil loca-
tors making extensive surveys before
the trust steps in to begin operations.
In 1901 several private corporations
bored for oil and number of wells
were sunk. In nearly every case oil in
paying quantities and of excellent
grade was discovered. The country
experienced boom and operations
were begun in earnest. So hopeful was
the outlook that w. p Miller of Lon
don, and a representative of the Baku
oil company, the only big rival of the
Standard oil concern, came in person
to examine the fields. His report was
iitOSi IdNOIdD1e. tSA-StdIe hlDeIdIOSlSt
A. S. Cooper also examined the fields
and made a report in which he said
that the indications pointed to an Inn
mense body of oil in the vicinity. Btu
men was also found in good quantities,
which is an oil indication, and in
number OF places natural gas came
from the earth, proving that petroleum
lay underneath.
Miller returned to England and made
his report and negotiations were imme-
diately opened by the British capital
lists to secure the leases held by the
local people, among whom were James
Keys of San Rafael, Leroy G. Harvey
of Mill Valley. r. A. Sherman of Bo-
linas and a number of others. Several
corporations were started and New
York capital became interested.
Then the price of oil dropped to bed
rock and the small concerns were
wiped out. The ~Baku company decided
1T would not extend its holding in the
face of such a discouraging outlook
and the local companies, unable to
compete with the octopus, finally were
compelled to suspend.
Conditions, however, have changed
again, and those formerly interested in
the Tomales fields are quietly attempt
ing to regain their old oil leases: 1t is
understood also that the four men
have been quietly at work among the
property owners of the area in search
or leases on the oil lands.

Woman in Fear OF tuberculosis

Mother in Laws Alleged
Threats Also Declared to Have
Brought About the Deed

ALAMEDA, Nov. 30.-Filled with the
fear that consumption had her in It's
deadly grasp and that she was going
to die victim of the white plague,
Mrs. Lottie Emily Cameron, wife of
Herbert c. Cameron, of 1904 Mulberry
street, arose from her bed this morn
ing at 2:30 o'clock, went into a bath
room in her home and there killed
herself by firing a bullet into her
brain Though her mouth. Her hus-
band was awakened by the report OF
the revolver and surmising what had
occurred rushed into the bathroom
and found his wife breathing her last.
According to Cameron his wife had
been respondent for some time because
of failing health She repeatedly said
that she felt that she was going into
decline and that she would finally
succumb to tuberculosis. He also
bIames his mother Mrs Charles Cam
eron. who was recently sued for
divorce. with having threatened to kill
his wife and with having driven her
TO distraction by constant annoyance.
My wife brooded much over her
health and feared that she would die
of consumption" said Cameron. .sbut /
also think that my mother, who has
acted lately as if she were insane, and
who threatened the life of my wife
several times, is to a great extent re-
sponsible for her having committed
suicide 1t was only a few days ago
that went to Police Judge r. B.
Tappan and complained of the actions
and threats of my mother. She nagged
my father so that he was forced to sue
for divorce to obtain peace of mind
and she had habit of ringing my wife
up on the telephone and making her
miserable with murderous threats"
Mrs. Lottie Cameron was 30 years old
and leaves besides her husband a little
daughter. She came to Alameda IS
months ago with her husband, who is
associated in the contracting business
in San Francisco with his father
Charles Cameron. The Camerons were
former residents of Seattle and the
body OF Mrs Cameron will be shipped
to that city for interment.

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. SO.-The sheriff
of Marin county and the officials who
have been Investigating a mysterious
murder near Novato four months ago
were startled to learn today that
Joseph Morazzia, who was thought to
have been the victim of the gruesome
tragedy, had just been sentenced to

robbery committed at Santa Barbara.
On Christmas day of last year Mo-
razzia broke into a saloon belonging to
a man named Berta at Tomales and
took $50 from the till. He was cap
tured, confessed and was released on
probation. About five months ago he
suddenly disappeared and shortly after
ward two boys found the decomposed
body of man near NovatO. The body
was brought TO San Rafael. where it
was determined to be that of Morazzia
Marks of violence on the corpse led to
the murder theory.
