Rollond E. Fay, who was suspended
from college for year on account of
articles printed in the Pelican. the
comic paper of the students, move
ment has been started by Francis
Steele, editor of the Occident, the
monthly paper. and by others to have
Fay reinstated to student standing. 1t
is likely that a petition will be cir
culated on the campus and an effort
made to influence the faculty and stu
dents affairs committee TO reconsider
their action in regard to the Fay Incl
dent.
Much discussion is held on the
campus over the report that the stu
dents affairs committee of five mem
bers which took the initiative in regard
to the suspension of the student editor
was divided on the question of punish
ment. Only three of the members
voted for suspension. while two others
were firm against such treatment
Many of the students are inclined to
believe that Fay would have been suf-
ficiently punished by being removed
from the staff of the Pelican, and IL is
said that the minority in the students
affairs committee took this view of
the matter.
w. w. Kergan, mana ging edior of
the Pelican. has been chosen by the
English club as Fay's successor. He Is
a member of the Kappa Sigma frater-

added $1,000 of his own to the pool
and purchased oil bearing lands. Later
she said that he sold the lands at a
good profit, but represented that all
her money had been lost and that the
investment had been disastrous. Re-
peated demands brought the same
statement with the additional infor-
nation, as alleged. that the company
stock sold for only cents share
Mrs Ward alleged that she had

able that her money had earned at
least another $1,000. She demanded an
accounting and restitution.

OAKLAND, Oct. 21-George Gray,
former public administrator, paid into
the county treasury today the sum of
s12.74s refunded by Attorney John S.

ment on eight counts for alleged en-
bezzlement and falsifying records in

sure from District Attorney W. H.
Donahue. Payment was made by At
torney J. w Bingaman, who has been
retained by Gray to assist in the wind
ing up of estates which were not
closed at the time the disclosures came.
The delay in turning the money over
to County Treasurer Kelly arose from
the necessity of ascertaining as closely
as possible the exact amounts due each
estate, which was impeded by the loose
book keeping methods formerly en-
ployed in the office.
A jury is now being selected to try
De Lancey on the charge of embeZ-
zling $4,000 from the Cook estate in
the form of a certificate of deposit
