riety, and a few doses of Peruna taken at
the first appearance of the catarrhal
symptoms is generally sufficient to avert
the attack of Group altogether.

PRESS OF FRANCE
RESFNTS CRITICISM
Irritated at Tone of Newspapers
Over FrancO-Spanish Note
Regarding Morocco

PARIS. Sept. 16.-The French presl
is displaying much irritation over the
violent criticisms of the Franco Spanish
note regarding Morocco that are ap-
pearing in the newspapers Of Germany.
but the government is content with the
assurances received yesterday from
Herr Stemrich, acting foreign secretary
for Germany, that the note would be
studied in an amicable spirit. If this
is done the foreign Office can not un-
derstand how Germany will be able to
disassociate herself from the other
chancellories of Europe.
1t is the opinion of the foreign office
that Chancellor Won Bulow should not
be held responsible for the utterances
of the German newspapers and the
chancellor's return to Berlin and Ger
many's official answer to the note ara
awaited calmly.

PITY FOR MANAGERS
OF JUNIOR ANNUAL
Editor of the Californian Sug=
gests a Hospital for Blue
and Gold Staff

BERKELEY, Sept. 16.-The financial
difficulties under which the managers
and editors of the Blue and Gold, the
class annual Of the juniors of the uni
versity, have been laboring for the
last three years to the detriment Of
their health, have called forth caustic
criticism by George L. Bell. editor Of
the Daily Californian. the student daily.
In an editorial published in today's
Californian Bell suggested that a stu
dent hospital should be established for
editors and managers of the Blue and
Gold. AS an alternative he proposed
that the staff of the book might spend
a year in college with nothing else to
do but edit the book, but suggested
that quality and not quantity would be
a better way out Of the. dilemma.
Bell declared that Editor Maurice
Z. Harrison of the Blue and Gold of
1908 and Manager Harry Jenkins of the
same book We're forced to leave college
to recover their health in consequence
Of the arduous duties of putting the
class annual before the college public.
Bell further declared that the class OF
1903 was riding toward the reefs of
financial embarrassment and that Ros-
sitter MikeI, manager of the book, might
have to secure a leave of absence from
the university TO recuperate from the
worry caused by his duties as acting
as class collector. Editor Clayton Ship
way left college two days ago TO re-
gain his health.
More than 80 members of the staff
OF Blue and Gold, the class annual of
1910, held their first dance tonight in
the Pi Beta Phi sorority house in Col
lege avenue. The arrangements were
made by a committee consisting Of
Percy L. Webster, managing editor; G..
c. Steele and Miss Hazel Donohue The

DESTROY PROPERTY
lncendiaries Suspected as Cause
of Three Early Morning
Blazes
Force of Plain Clothes Men Pa
troll Districts In Search of
Miscreants

OAKLAND, Sept. 16.-Three mysteri-
Gus fires which occurred almost stimuli
taneously in the central section of the
city early this morning have convinced
the police that incendiaries were at
work. A force of plain clothes men
has been detailed to patrol the down
town districts tonight in the hope of
capturing the miscfeants.
About l o'clock this morning flames
were discovered in the basement of the
residence of Mrs. E. E. Gensderg, at
527 Nineteenth street. The basement
was stored with furniture and other
articles and the fire gained consider
able headway before the engines ar
rived.
The fremen had hardly succeeded in
getting the fire under control when an
alarm was turned in for a fire in a
vacant house at sos Madison street.
Residents of the neighborhood said
that man carrying a bundle had been
seen to leave the house short time
before the flames were discovered and
that just before the alarm was turned
in sharp explosion was heard in the
rear part of the house.
j. II. Pierce, a real estate man living
next door to the burned house, ad-
vanced the opinion that dynamiters had
attempted to blow up the building, but
the police are inclined to believe that
the flames were the work of a firebug.
The property was damaged to the ex-
tent of $1,000
AS the engines were returning from
the Madison street fire another alarm
was turned in from the Gensberg resi-
dence, where a fire had broken out in
one of the bedrooms. This was extin-
gufshed before much damage was done.
Mrs. Gensberg, frightened by the mys-
terious visitations of fire, insisted that
the police station a guard about her
home for the remainder of the night.
She declared that the house was fired
by burglars.
