Jas. Duncan, John Mitchell, Jas.
lO'Connell and other members of
the A. FI of L. exec utive council
are being severely criticized by
members of their own and other
trades.
Many of the miners are con-
deming Mitchell for siding with
McNulty, charging that his posi-
ton has been assumed because the
latter is a member of the National
Civic Federation, and the cry is
going forth that Mitchell will be
retired as a representative of the
miners because he Is now employed
by the civic federation.
Duncan, who Is first vice presi-
dent of the A. F. OF L., has been
publicly charged by the boot and
shoe workers with having deliber-
ately espoused the cause of large
manufacturer with whom they are
at war, and thus gave encourage
ment to a secession movement In
their trade that has spread from
New England to Chicago and st.

To add to the general confusion,
rumors are circulating in union
circles that various organizations,
some affiliated and others unat-
tached to the A. r. Of L., are con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of form
ing a new federation, based upon
broad industrial PRINCIPLES.

YAKIMA PAVING TO
COST $i28,000

City Engineer Raleigh has COM
pleted the estimates for the Yaki-
ma avenue paving, from Sixth ave-
nue. to South Twenty-seventh
street, and the job will cost about
$128,000. 1t will be especially
expensive because of the councils
action in changing the original in
tention and paving it so instead
of 40 feet. This will necessitate
the tearing out of the street inter-
sections now in and the changing
of the aprons at all corners.

RAISE QUESTION AS
TO PRESS CENSOR
State University Professors in
Dark as to Exact Meaning
of Recent Letter

BERKELEY, Sept. 2.-On account of
the Misunderstanding of Prof. A. o.
Leuschner, head of the department of
Astronomy of the university, of the text
OF the recent letter sent by President
Wheeler to the various heads of the
departments in regard to what news
should be given out it is likely that an
order Will be issued giving the pro-
fessors discretion in the matter of what
informa tion should be given to the pub
lie through their respective depart
ments.
Professor Leuschner understood that
DR. Wheeler desired to give all news
from his Office and today refused to
make a statement in regard to the re-
ported discovery of the north pole by
Dr. Frederick Cook.
Ralph P. Merritt, secretary to DIR.
Wheeler, who sent out the letter to
heads Of departments. declared that
Professor Leuschner had a wrong con-
ception of the matter. He said that
while the university aimed to give to
the public all matters of news through
the presidents office, the department
could give information to the public at
their own discretion.
AS a result of the misunderstanding
it is likely that an official order of ex-
PLANTATION Will be made, as some of the
professors have taken the recent letter
as warning that the university affairs
were to be secret except such matters
as the head of the university desired
to disclose

be voted on by the pupils tomorrow.
Great interest has been taken in the
measures. which are pet projects of

dicial powers to the students, is the

students understand more completely

cation.

Oakland Judge

OAKLAND, Sept. 2.-It is worse for
a husband to chase his wife about the
house with an ak, threaten to kill her
and call her vile names than it is for
the wife to wear false hair and take
a cat into bed with her. To this eff
feet Judge Wells decided today in
handing down a decision that gave
Mrs. Ella Tillmany an interlocutory
decree of divorce against her husband,
Jacob Mrs. Tillmany brought suit

ing. the threats and the curses as in
stances of cruelty. Tillmany came
back with countercharges that includ-
ed the wearing of a wig by his wife
and her introduction of the family cat
into the bed The former, he declared,
constituted mental cruelty, as it gave
him much pain to see his wife wearing
the locks of another woman. and the
latter charge was physical cruelty, in
asmuch as the cat scratched his legs.
Judge Wells ordered Ti1lmany to pay
his wife 5000 as a settlement of their
property rights
