peded the progress of the water, and
no great loss of property Is anticipated
in the towns and villages north of this
city.
Shortly after the breaking OF the
dam warnings were telephoned to Wolf
Creek, Craig. Great Falls and other
towns, which has caused great ex-
citement among the residents.
Superintendent H. L. Burdit of the
Rocky Mountain Bell telephone COM
pany at 1920 o'clock tonight an
nounced that the water at Craig, 46
miles from Helena. had reached depth
of 22h feet. and at Cascade. es miles
distant. a depth Of four feet.
The Hauser lake dam, which was one
of the finest structures of its kind in
the world. was completed last year at
cost of more than $2,o50.ooo. and de-
veloped a horsepower of $4,000, which
was utilized in operating the various
mines and the Amalgamated copper
company's smelter plants at Anaconda.
The break In the dam site will not
interfere with the operation of the
mines and other plants as power is
being furnished tonight from the can
yon ferry dam and the company's sub-
station in Butte.
The Hauser lake dam was 490 feet
long and 70 feet high. and was con-
structed of masonry and steel. The
construction OF the dam created lake
covering 20 square miles.
At the time the structure gave way
about 30 men were at work In the
power house, which Is situated about
100 yards below the dam site on the
north side OF the river. 1t Is believed
that all these men escaped and that
no lives were lost at the dam. About
ESQ feet of the dam was destroyed
leaving about 125 feet at either end of
the structure. After the first break
was noticed 1t was nearly 15 minutes
before the center Of the structure gave
way with a terrific crash. Five dwell
ing houses, occupied by employees. the
ONCE building and stable were washed
down the river.
General Manager Gerry said the dam
will Immediately be rebuilt and will be
a stronger structure.
About Is of the men who were en-
ployed in the power house are on the
north side OF the river without food OF
shelter.

BERKELEY, April 1.-THE Uni

latter to the high schools. The plan has

we do not look forward to the elimina-

Mystery surrounding the death
of Samuel Gilmore, once a IA
nous racetrack plunger, is puz-
zling the police department, and
an element of deepest secrecy has
surrounded the operations of de-
tectives who have been working
on the case for several days in
the hope of clearing up what is
believed to have been a deliber-
stely planned murder. Already two
men are under police surveillance on
suspicion of having been implicated in
the killing of Gilmore for his money,
but not until yesterday did the first
details of the suspected tragedy leak
out
Gilmore came to his death last
Tuesday morning, apparently from
natural causes. After his death, how
ever, It became known that he had won
$1,000 at Emeryville on Monday after
noon and then an investigation. which
his relatives insisted upon, was imme-
diately begun.
Gilmore's stomach is now at the
laboratory of City Chemist Frank
Green being analysed. It is believed
that he was given poison in a glass Of
liquor and after the poison had taken
effect was robbed Detectives Reagan
and O'connen OF the police department
are tracing Gilmore's movements from
the time he left EmeryviIle racetrack
Monday afternoon until his unconscious
body was picked UP by the central
emergency hospital ambulance at Mar
ket and Brady streets at 6 o'clock
Tuesday morning.

state gradually increase their scope of
studies to include those OF the first
two years of university work"
In the foregoing statement made
this afternoon Professor Alex +. Lange,
head of the department of education
of the University OF California, out
lined the course that the university
has been pursuing to bring about a
line of demarcation between the first
two and the last two years Of uni
versity work. Professor Lange, who Is
an authority on all matters pertaining
to education, said that there was a me-
chanical but not an organic separa-
tion between the high school and the
first two years of the university, but
that the line was more strongly de-
OF the lower division and those of the
seniors and juniors. the upper divi-
sion.
TO EXTEND REQUIREMENT
Announcement of further step in
the development of the senior, Junior
and graduate department was made to-
day by the news of the meeting of
the academic council of the university
on Thursday afternoon to finally con-
slider the extension of the requirement
of the Junior certificate to all colleges
in the university and not alone to those
of the culture colleges where 1t is now
demanded.
At the same time new regulations
regarding the entrance requireme ents
of the graduates of high schools will
be passed, which will, by giving the
preparatory schools a wider scope link
them more closely to the first two
university years and bind them as an
organic whole as opposed to the last
two and graduate years of the uni
versity
Thursdays meeting of the academic
council, at which these matters will
be brought up for final consideration,
will mark an epoch in university his
tory and bring to public notice more
strongly the principles of the plvn ad-
vocated by President Jordan or 4
ford university.
Prof Alex Lange said today that a
committee of Is heads of university
departments. of which Prof Irving
Stringham is chairman, has been at
work for the last two years on plan
which will amalgamate the high
schools and first two college years and
at the same time regard the interests
of the large majority of the students
of the preparatory schools who do not
enter the university

this rule fiawlessly for months at q
 time, and during the twelve years in which the writer had an opportunity
 of taking personal cognizarce not a dozen infringements can be recalled except such infringement as was demanded by the exigencies Of travel
 or other duties incidental to the episcopal office.
 Next to this remarkable firmness were the bishops gifts of hsart. He had the tenderness of a father. With
 what deep and intimate concern did
 he not hear the solicitude cf all the
 churches? Could he not say with St Paul: Who is weak and l am not weak; who is scandalized and I am
 not on fire?" His heart was with his people His ear was alert to catch the murmurings of those who were
 in distress. The number of the sick and dying couches which he visited during his lifetime is known to
 heaven alone, and when death had
 claimed victim he set aside the dig
 nifty of his office and graspad at any pretext in order to do honor to the
 ashes of the departed, With such
 a man as bishop of the d.ccese of Hartford, it was not wonderful that
 hospital after hospital should rise throughout the state, and that the number of religious women whose lives were consecrated to the
 corporal works of mercy should grow apace
 When he was consecrated bishop
 of Hartford keen and interested ob- server declared that Father Tlcrney lossus. The words were almost liter ally verified. The apostolic prelate
 was in journeyings often, ard often his heart rather than his head dic- tated the trip. He knew his priests
 Their physical ailments were a part
 of his daily anxiety, while the yari- ous sisterhoods who aided him so ample reason to mourn him with the
 tears of filial love. He bore ti:em in
 his heart and idealized them in his
 affections He was their champion
 always, and his constant prayer was for their sanctification and salvation
 But 1t was perhaps in the bosom
 of his own family that his native
 kindness revealed itself to the full.
 He was uniformly cheerful and 'ex-
 erted himself to diffuse happiness
 around him. He abhorred sullenness
 and silence, and did his best uniform
 ly to invoke the keen and nimble spirit of mirth If a member of his

household had fallen sick, he was the first to visit the patient in the morning. The offices of mercy which he performed frequently proved high ly embarrassing to the sick man. Thoughtfulness attended him always and everywhere. It followed him to the sanctuary. He was ready to step from his episcopal throne and dis charge the functions of the lowliest ecclesiastic Nor did 1t desert him even in the various avocations of his domestic life. He anticipated the wants of those around him and be- trayed ample evidence that he was a gentleman, as well by nature as by training.
 Though always the bishop, he was approachable, alert, affabls and gift ed with the saving sense of humor. Should occasion demand he could enunciate rebuke well calculated to silence a retort. But he was unusual ly merciful to the absurd. He was unruffied under serious provocation, and his self control amounted to a positive virtue If he armed himself WltH lue poWeis oI hlS oHoc IL W oo to repress evil and safeguard the right He grasped things rather by instinct than by reflection, but his judgments were uniformly just His conversation, though devoid of any suggestion of dogmatism, was rather assertive than logical. He was care less or oblivious of the major and the minor. but he ,youchsafed the con clusion with a degree of native assur- ance which beget confidence in those who sought his counsel. And so it came to pass that his language was ever practical and altogether free from anything savoring of pedantry His preaching was of piece with his conversation. It. was paternal, simple and from the heart He hated vice.

To retire was a duty and he oDeyed its call no matter how exalted the dignitary he was entertaining and no matter how absorbing the conyersa- ton which held the company. To rise daily at fixed hour is the achievement of strong man; to rise daily before the sun Is the achieve ment of strong man inspired with lofty purpose; but to retire at a fixed hour, acknowledging ns'ther let nor hindrance, is the achievement of a man in whose mould there Is dash of the heroic.

The memory of Michael Tierney does not cease with the dying notes of the requiem chant.
