FRESHMEN TO COMPETE
Stanford's First Year Men Fear
Utter Defeat at Berkeley

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 27
The first year athletes of Stanford uni
versity and the blue and gold will test
supremacy for the third consecutive
time in dual track and field meet to-
morrow afternoon on the Berkeley oval.
This question has been decided finally
by the local managers and the affair
will take place in spite Of the adverse
conditions existing here at present.
This may be the only intercollegiate
event of the host of spring contests
planned this year in view of the un-
settled condition of the student body
and for this reason the clash will at
tract more attention than II would un-
der more normal circumstances.
Dad Moulton's little handful of fresh
men performers who will enter the
meet tomorrow will represent a team
which has had probably the worst run
of hard luck imaginable for any group
OF college athletes. Starting the sea-
son with but small number, the squad
has been trained up to a point a few
days ago when 1t was believed the
cardinals could hope to win a victory.
This idea has now been practically
abandoned.
The cardinal freshies first have been
compelled to suffer vaccination. which
will mean that number of the ex-
pected point winners will not be at
their best, IL they are able to enter the
race. Secondly, several of the best men
have broken down at the last minute.

WHY WOMEN SUFFER

Women have 50 much to go through
In life that it is pity there is SO
much needless suffering from back
ache, headache, dizziness, langour and
other common aches and ills of kid
ney complaint.
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought
new life and strength to thousands OF
women afiiicted in this way.
Women are prone to kidney trouble.
They have so much indoor work to
do, so much lifting. bending and
stopping; they are bound by custom
to tight, heavy clothing. They get
little outdoor exercise, and any little
cold may bring on kidney weakness.
Don't worry il you feel tired and
dragged out--if you haze backache
and bearing-down pain. headache,
dizzy spells, faintness and lack ambi-
ton. Don't think it's some trouble
peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the
same way when they have kidney
trouble.
Ask yourself this question: Are
my kidneys well?" The condition of
the kidney secretions may give you
an answer. If there is brick-dust
sediment, or stringy settling in the
urine; II passages are too frequent
and copious, or scanty and painful, it

Dargie's S Disgraceful
Work Arraigned

OMMENTING upon the
~ prostitution of the press as
typifed by Dargie and the
Calkins syndicate, the Eugene
Guard. one of the most inauen-
tial newspapers of Oregon, says:
"We have received n marked
copy of the Oakland (Cal) Tri-
bune containing one of Abe,
Ruef's afhdavits in full. covering
several pages, and filed with
other matter attacking those en-
gagged in prosecuting the San
Francisco graft cases. 1t is GER
tainly the most disgraceful ex-
ample of the prostitution of the
power and influence of the press
we have had brought to our atten-
ton, and il ought TO bring a
blush to the cheek of every news
paperman who honors his pro-
fession. To think that papers
like the Oakland Tribune and a
whole string of other publica-
tons known as the Calkins syn
dicate, printed in the leading
cities of California, will brazenly
sell their influence to gang of
disreputable thieves like Ruef
and his hackers almost passes
belief. In the past there have
been few real newspapers COR
rupted by boodlers and thieves,
and it is in this fact that the
keeping Of our national honor
seemed secure. Certain Cali
fornia papers, however, seem to
have placed money above con-
siderations of public welfare and
are attempting to manufacture
sentiment in favor of the men
who grew rich and powerful in
politics upon the bribes paid
them by railroad and telephone
companies and other corpora
tons intent upon schemes of
robbery ininiical to the rights of
the people"

GARBAGE IS PILED
HIGH IN BERKELEY

BERKELEY. March 27.-with gar
bage piled high in rne hotels and
apartment houses of this city the peo-
pie of East Berkeley have Joined
hands with the citizens Of the West
end against the trustees in the gar
hage war which has been waged for
The past month The police and health
authorities have been appealed to by
the owners of the big hostelries of
this city and residents of private
dwellings for relief from the garbage,
which is each day piling higher in
their back Yards. The residents of
the fashionable section of this city say
that they viii not contribute a cent
toward the work of sanitation if the
trustees are allowed to tie up the work
of cleaning the city.
Meanwhile the people of West Berke-
ley are planning on taking the gar
.bage war from the battlefield in the
West end TO the courts OF Oakland,
where Injunction proceedings against
the scavengers viii be threshed out.
Brewton A Hayne, the well known
Berkeley attorney. has been retained
by the association as its legal adviser.
o. The trustees who have caused the
tangle in the garbage fight by their
action in forcing the scavengers TO
dump their refuse in the back yards
OF the people of West Berkeley. will
hold a meeting tomorrow night at
which the 500 yard clause which was
repealed by them TO accommodate the
land owned by George Schmidt and
Mrs. Jesse V. Mendenhall, wife Of the
town clerk Of this city. will be passed.
Hayne win attend the meeting to warn
the town board that their action will
result in litigation and confusion,
making the garbage problem more
complicated then ever.
Berkeley's residents in the East end
felt today for the first time the effects
Of the garbage war which has been
waged in West Berkeley. The two
days pile of garbage. more than $50
tons, which had accumulated in the
back yards Of the fashionable members
of the hillside set and at the big hotels
and apartment houses. was thought so
unsightly and unsanitary that the po-
lice We're appealed to for help in hav-
ing the refuse removed
Delegations Of East Berkeleyans who
had heard but little and felt nothin &

Marshal Nollmer and asked that tn :

taken away.
Nollmer refused to act and piles OF
garbage stand on the sidewalk in front
OF the Hotel Carlton. the largest in
this city. in full view OF the passing
cars. Mrs. Morris. proprietor Of the

Pomona Track Men
Defeated

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March
27.-The varsity track team of Stan
ford University defeated the athletes
of Pomona college this afternoon in
a fast meet in which the cardinal
men were given the closest bit of
competition experienced this season.
The final score stood 81 to 3S, but
this overwhelming quota OF points was
made largely by the number OF second
and third places taken by the cardinal.
Stanford won, however, twice as many
first places as did the wearers of the
blue and white.
The meet was marked by star per-
formers, and the showing of Spurgeon
of Pomona In the low hurdles and of
Merriman, team mate, and Martin
Of Stanford in the high jump ranked
high. In the hurdles Spurgeon tied
the intercollegiate coast record of
25 2-5 seconds, while Merriman in the
high jump cleared the bar at feet
inches and Martin at s feet Him

itors showed that his reputation was
warranted. In the mile event he de-
feated Maundrell and Bradford, Stan

In the Oeprints Holman and Card
ner Of Stanford carried the day. Hol-
man won both the 100 and 220 yard
dashes. Stanford was weak in the
quarter, due to the absence Of Brown

friends of Henry Hyde Dwight. the
Pasadena architect who ended his life

1t was explained at the time OF Mrs.

formed declared today that Mrs
Dwight had taken poison after learning
that her husband was deeply involved
in financial transactions wherein it is
alleged he raised money by uttering
worthless checks and borrowing from
friends and clients.
