MERRITT HOSPITAL
TO OPEN FORMALLY
Institution Endowed by Late
Oakland Physician Is
Most Modern One

OAKLAND. Jan. 24.-Patients will be
received tomorrow at the new Merritt
hospital Hawthorne and Webster
streets, part of which has been com
pleted according to the original plans
at a cost of $500 600 The hospital was
a bequest of the late Dr. Samuel II.
Merritt, one of the prominent resi-
dents of Oakland. who left an endow-
ment for the establishing of the insti-
tuition which bears his name.
The construction of the completed
part of the hospital has taken more
than a year, and with its equipments
for the care Of 10 patients represents
an outlay of 100000 of the trust fund
The trustees of the Merritt endow-
ment fund are w. IS. Bosley, DIR. p. l.
Wheeler and DR. A. j. Russell Having
selected their complete plans for the
hospital. these men decided to con-
struct first a part of the whole hospi-
tai and get that into operation before
completing the buildings.
The building of the hospital WIS de-
layed for several years by litigation. It
grew out Of contests of DR. Merritts
will brought by his nephews against
Mrs. Cathe e Garcelon, a sister of the
late doctor. The ultimate settlement
Of the bequests enabled the trustees to
go ahead with the hospital project, and
a result the first erected portion of
the institution is ready for occupancy
DR.. Alvin Powell has been appointed
resident physician.

FRATERNITY BOYS
DEFY PRINCIPAL
Memers of Phi Chi Already at
Work in the San Rafael
High School

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 24=Though not
officially affirmed by the high school
students interested, rumor based on
remarks of several boys involved has
gone forth that Chi Phi has already
entered the San Rafael high school.
This, coupled with the frey speech of
Superintendent e. Morris Cox. augers
for an exciting time in. the high school.
One Of the ring leaders in the fra
ternity movement 9stated today that
three of the frat men had already
pledged themselves to stand together
and go ahead with their plans, even
though they were expelled. Relative
to the statement of Cox. to the effect
that he was backed up by a rule pre-
viously passed that gives him the
power to deal with the fraternity prob
lem the students and two of the school
board aver that such ruling has
pever been passed, though Principal
Drew last year attempted to have such
provision made.
Cox is the president of the State
teachers association and comes from
Santa Rosa. There he fought the fra
ternities and succeeded to a degree in
besting them This year, however, the
fraternities are in full sway again in
the Santa Rosa schools. The young
fellows who are in the present move
ment aver that there are a number Of
fraternity men and sorority girls in
the high school at San Rafael and that
they have not worked to the detriment
of the high school. This Cox himself
affirms by his statement, in which he
said that the high school is running
smoothly.
1t developed today that a meeting of
the fraternity men had been held at
the home Of DR. W. j. Wiehman, chair
man of the board and was attended
by DIR. Wichman's son. At the time
the doctor was asked if he had any
objections to his son joining fra
ternity. He did not at the time, but
insisted on seeing Cox before giving
his permission for Roy Wichman to
affiliate After seeing Cox, however,
Wichman decided to stand by the SUI
perintendent and then objected to
young Wichman having anything to
do with the matter.
