OAKLAND, May 14.-Preferring the
right to enter the University of Cali
fornia to that of membership in fra
ternities and sororities, POI out of 215
students of the Oakland high school
who are members of the secret So
cities have agreed in writing to obey
the command of the school authorities
to give up their society affiliations.
The announcement was made tonight
by Charles r. Reyes, principal OF the
school. and indicates almost a com
pIete victory for the board of trustees
in its effort to enforce the new state
law against ath-bound organizations
in the public schools.
of those students who refused to
sign the pledge, as required by the
board, six were positive in their re-
fusals. while eight agreed to give up
participation in any meetings of the
societies to which they belong.
Shortly before the statute recently
enacted by the legislature went into
effect the Oakland authorities dis
tributed blanks ameng the students, re-
questing them to sign at once an agree
ment that they would renounce all al
citations with the unlawful organlza-
tions.
Leaders among the societies con-
suited attorneys with the view of re-
sisting the order, but their plans fell
through.
District Attorney w. H. Donahue ex.-
pressed the opinion that the school
authorities We're powerless to punish
students by any means other than to
withdraw the privilege of entering the
state university by recommendation.
This alternative was presented to the
members of the school who belonged to
societies. and the large number of
pledges signed is pointed to by Presi-
dent Keyes as evidence of the popu-
laritv of the university.

ceiver, no matter how softly they may
be attuned

by means of this device it Will be pos
sible for the first time since wireless

MRS. HARPER SAYS
SUIT IS BLACKMAIL
DENIES ALIENATION OF LOVE
OF CHAUFFEUR
Woman Sued by Former Employees
Wife Declares She Was Abandoned
on Her Travels by Mys-
terous Person

PASADENA, May lit is plain
case of blackmail."
This is the statement of Mrs. Grace
Veie Harper of 500 North Fair Oaks
avenue this morning, and her answer
to the complaint filed in the superior
court yesterday by Mrs. Jane Harris,
who alleges that Mrs. Harper alienated
the affections of her coachman, sidney
Harris, from his legal wife, the de-
ponent.
Mrs. Harper's first notice of the suit
came yesterday, when a deputy sherlft
served the papers upon her. She stated
at the time that it was case of
blackmail, which had been hanging
over her for over three years, and this
statement she confirmed this morning
in as strong words as the language can
furnish.
Sidney Harris was first employed
by my husband in 1904, l believe she
said. AT that time he was unmarried.
In 1906 he married his present wife and
continued to drive my horses. He was
an expert whip, and l liked his work.
He was careful man with my horses
and attended to his work.
"A short time after his marriage his
wife accused me of winning his atfec-
lions. l called him, he denied 1t, and

"a short time after 1 did so they
went abroad and were gone about a
year. Soon after their return she again
visited me and accused me of wrong
ing her. l again called my husband
into the conference and she then init
mated that she would sue me.
"A short time later she left the
coachman and returned later. When
she did so she again visited me, ana

mark: You will have to pay lot OF

POOR PEOPLE OF CHICAGO
WILL TRY LIFE ON FARMS
City Gardens Committee Secures a
Tract of Unoccupled Prairie Land
for Experiment

CHICAGO, May 14.-Breaking of
ground at the Chicago Garden society
tract of twenty acres of unoccupied
prairie, surrounding Marshall boule-
ward and the south branch of the river
was begun yesterday.
The land, divided into miniature
farms, $50 by 36 feet. is to be worked
by as many of the city's poor as can
be accommodated during the summer
Each applicant for lot is required
to offer evidence that he is without
adequate means of support. A fee of
S1.50 is charged. This provides seeds
and gardening utensils.
At a joint meeting of committee
of the Outdoor Art league and the City
Gardens committee it was decided to
have a bungalow erected at the garden
tract at once. In this building will be
several sleeping rooms and a store
room for tools and other paraphernalia.
The United Societies also is contem-
plating having a children's playground
laid out near the tract.
If the plan proves successful this
season the tract probably will be eX
banded to include several hundred
acres next year, manufacturers of the
district having agreed to place land
holdings at the disposal of the society.

RAILWAY MEN HIRE U. OF C.
STUDENTS TO ENTERTAIN
GIee and Mandolin Clubs Give Con-
certs for Employees of the
Santa Fe

CHICAGO, May 14.-Employes of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
are being entertained this month in an
unusual manner, and, incidentally,
thirty-one students of the University of
California are having the time of their
lives.
In order to relieve the monotony of
running engines shoveling coal, switch
ing cars and repairing tracks, the man
agement of the railroad has engaged
the Glee and Mandolin club of the uni
versity to tour the main line of the sys-
TEN between Berkeley and Chicago and
give their concerts at the railway clubs
maintained by the company at its divi-
sion headquarters.
AS a result the railroad is now ring
ing with the college yells, songs and
music of the rah-rah boys who left
Berkeley Wednesday night in a private
car and who are scheduled to arrive in
Chicago May II.
