KNOWLAND TOH[AD
STATE NATIVE SONS
On Way to MarysviIle Where
He Will Be Made Grand
President

ALAMEDA, April 2S--Congressman
Joseph r. Knowland arrived here this
evening from Washington on his way
to attend the meeting of the grand par
lor of the Native Sons of the Golden
West which will open at Marysville
Monday. Knowland is now first vice
president of the order and will be elect
ed grand president at the coming con-
vention.
He declared that it was generally be-
lieved in official circles that the extra
session of congress will finish its work
in revising the tariff before June 1.
Every effort is being made to hasten
the work. he said, ION account of the
belief that business conditions are dis
turbed by the uncertainty which pre-
walls at present concerning the final
provisions of the new tariff.
California will fare better than any
other state in the new provisions of
the tariff" continued Knowland. '.There
is not a single article which could
compete with any of the products of
California on which the tariff will be
reduced. Indeed, competition with the
products of our state will be lessened
by the increased tariff on figs, lemons
and olives"
Knowland commented on the fact
that, although there was no general
rivers and harbors bill Introduced dur
ing the last regular session of con-
gress, an appropriation of s256 900 for
the improvement of Oakland harbor had
been obtained through former authori-
cations.
"A new survey of the entire harbor
was also authorized he added, and
will be made by government engineers
in the near future. When this survey
is completed California's representa-
tives in congress will be in a position
to demand further approximations
based on the new boundary lines and
soundings.''
hnowland will start back to Wash
ington the latter part of next week.

Costa Rica, and afterward settled at
Rivas, Nicaragua. He returned three
times to see Miss Diaz and eacht time

and j. Arthur Elston, two prominent
young attorneys who have been deeply
interested in the fight TO free Berkeley
of the domination of push politicians
as Politician Thelen and Politician Ell
ston."
Although the Gazette has been as
serting that it would treat all candi-
dates fairly in its news columns by
giving honest reports of the meetings,
tonight it practically admits its COM
plete subserviency to the Spear
Schmidt organization by grossly mini
MIXING the rousing meeting held by
Hodghead last night in Spears own
district. At that meeting were the
representative citizens of the west end,
but the Gazette, out of loyalty to Spear,
publishes tonight that the audience was
composed mostly of boys and friends of
Hodghead from other parts of the city.
The dignified fight that Hodghead is
making is disconcerting Spear and his
forces, and they are hard pressed for
material in attacking the nominee of
the people who believe in good govern
ment.
Much interest is being manifested in
the mass meeting of the candidates to
be held in the town hall Monday night
under the auspices of the Improvement
clubs All four nominees for mayor
have signified their intention of being
present, and it is believed that nearly
all the other candidates will avail
themselves of the opportunity TO be
heard.
MAKES CHARGES OF TRUST
Charges that the school board of
Berkeley is dominated by the school
book trust and that the books have
been changed 100 times in the last eight
years with an expenditure of at least
$4,000 to the parents of the school chill
dren are being made by Frank O'Neil,
candidate for school director.
ONcil was twice called TO order by
the chairman in Fraternity hall last
night, but he finished his address after
adjournment.
Roy ]. Young, a member of the pres
ent board, added spice to the meeting
by denying the charges of ONeil, and
there was warm argument between
them as a result.

TEACHERS RIVALRY
A POLITICAL ISSUE
Contest for School Director
Hinges on Controversy

BERKELEY, April 2s-Rivalry be-
tween Principal Morris C. James Of
the high school and superintendent
Frank f. Bunker. which has been whis-
pered in academic circles for six
months. has been made factor in the
political campaign for school directors
and il is openly stated on the streets
that one of the men will not hold his
position after the new board meets
to make appointments for the year.
What is at the bottom of the con-
troversy no one seems to know. al
though it is limited that the recent
high school scandal which caused an
of James, who was forced to hear much
OF the adverse criticism as a result.
while Bunker. who instituted the move
ment was not in the center of the
limelight.
Friends who are fighting for the cleo
tion of school directors favoring James
are making much Of the old argument
made against the appointment of Bunk
er two years ago. that he was not a
local man and that his salary was too
high.
AS the federation of mothers clubs
has been drawn into the fight that or
ganization has divided into factions
of Bunker and James adherents. al
the central body of the organ
izstion is said TO favor Bunker. This
is the body which nominated Mrs. Car
isle. whose election as school di-
rector is conceded.

BERKELEY. April Berkeleyans
are having foretaste of the conditions
they must endure of the Spear Schmidt
machine work in the city election. The

years of experience in machine politics:

SIMPLE MISREPRESENTAI1O
These isolated excerpts from Hodg-
heads statement are reproduced with a
view to giving a wrong impression.
The purpose is to have the voter believe
that Hodghead is admitting that he is

Union when. as a matter Of fact, he is
not. having been separately employed
TO try each case in which he has ap
peared. This would not disqualify him
in the least, according to the most emf
