HONORFDPRfCfDENT
Selection of Victor Henderson
as Secretary Declared in Ac-
cOrdance With Custom

BERKELEY. Dec. 1S.-The assertion
that Victor Henderson, secretary to the
regents and land agent of the uni
versity, was not legally chosen TO the
position under the organic act of the
university on the ground that he is
not 'an agriculturist," was discussed
on the campus of the university today.
The faculty was equally divided as
to whether this section of the organic
act. part of the state constitution. is
obsolete in fact, but it is the consensus
of opinion that the regents were fully
advised before Henderson was chosen
A side light on the incident has de-
veloped in the fact that neither Hen
derson nor the regents have made for
NAL announcement of his appointment
to the position several months ago.
althugh he had been acting secretary
for several years.
A point was brought up today that
while the possible exception of Secre-
tary Davis. who could not strictly be
termed a farmer, no secretary to the
regents has been an agriculturist even

ACCUSES WIDOW OF
INCITING MURDER
Mrs. Mercedes Jacobs Charges
That Mrs. WOed Is to
Blame for Tragedy

OAKLAND, Dec. 1S.-Vehement ac-
cusa tions against the widow of Dr.
Eugene G. Wood, who was murdered by
Gabriel Jacobs December at Thir-
teenth street and Broadway, marked
the testimony which Mrs. Mercedes
Jacobs, the physicians affinity. gave
this morning at the inquest into the
suicide of Jacobs, who shot himself
after killing his enemy.
The charges have been made by Mrs
Jacobs before, and We're denied before
by Attorney l. Ernest Phillips. coun-
sci for Mrs Wood. who denounced them
as without basis in fact Yet Mrs.
Jacobs said again today that Mrs.
Woods jealousy brought on the double
tragedy.
MY husband was not desperate
man. said Mrs. Jacobs. He was urged
to shoot DR. Wood by Mrs. Wood. who
for some reason 1 don't know was
jealous of me. j knew this before the
shooting for my husband implied as
much when he called me up on the
phone a few nights before the shoot
ing"
Regarding that conversation Mrs.
Jacobs testified that her husband had
said he was then in Mrs. Woods home,
and would give her cause to remember
Gabriel Jacobs.
The pawnbroker's widow dipped into
other incidents of the family dssen-
sions. She said the check for $500
which DR. Wood paid to her in 1907
was for her own money. Her eXplana-
ton was that she and Jacobs had $3.50
when the pawnbroker was taken i'll.
At Jacobs suggestion she gave the
money TO DR.. Wood to be banked. One
hundred and fifty dollars was spent
for medical treatment, and the check
for $500 was for the balance.
Il sued my husband for divorce be-
cause he did not support me-" said
the witness.
How did you live?" asked the coro-
ner
Il took in boarders and I worked. .
answered Mrs Jacobs.
The jury returned the formal verdict
OF suicide. and the official investigation
of the murder and suicide IN Broad
way was closed.

Terrible Indigestion
lovett's Drug Store Has a Remedy That it Guarantees to Promptly
 Relieve All Stomach Distress,

People go on suffering from little stomach troubles for years and i'm agine they have a serious disease.
 They over eat or over drink and force on the stomach a lot of extra work
 But they never think that the stom- ach needs extra help to do extra work.
 If these people would take a Mi-o- na tablet with or after meals it would be great big help to the stomach in its strain of overwork
 No matter what you eat or drink. Mi-o-na tablets will sweeten your sour stomach and stop gas belching in five minutes. The heaviness disap- pears and the stomach is greatly aided in it's work of digestion
 And Mi-O-na not only promptly re- heves all distress, but if taken regu- larly will absolutely cure indigestion by building up the flabby. overworked walls of the stOmcah and making them strong enough to digest the most hearty meal. Lovett's Drug Store sells and guarantees Mi-o-na. The price is 50 cents a large box. Leading drug gists everywhere sell Mi-o-na. Test sample free from Booths Mi-o-na. Buffalo N Y

 would have been the height of folly to put up for mayor anybody but good, strong man, whereas the or ganization felt that it could ignore the decencies as to the remainder of the ticket. And it seems to be gen. orally agreed that the democratic ticket in New York this year-with the exception of Gaynor-is the worst that Tammany has ever dared to nominate. It is further urged on be- Half of Judge Gaynor that if elected he will be an independent mayor and defy Murphy and McCarren.
 At any rate, his election as mayor will give him a boundless opportunity. It will make him known to the people of the United States. and the demo- crats throughout the country will be- gin to think of him as a national leader. Everything after that will rest with him. If he shows himself of the fiber of Cleveland he may soon now occupied by Bryan.

AN EXCESS OF COLD STORAGE

It is complained that cold storage IS causing city people to forget the taste of fresh food. It also interferes with the natural course of prices. Eggs should be cheap in summer. They are not, because the cold storage houses have bought them up. Fresh poultry is scarce in the markets for the same reason. One remedy suggested is to limit the time during which food prod ucts can be lawfully kept in storage. If there were a three months limit the cold storage people would be less anxious to go into the country at the beginning of May and strip it of it's supply of eggs and of poultry and keep on robbing the public of its susten- anee all summer in order that they may sell their cold storage products at 100 per cent profit. The producer does not profit by this greed.

It is notable that at many places on his present tour. Mir. Taft has preached strongly the doctrine of meekness and self control. The public will remember, however. that some what more than a year ago Mir. Taft was achieving great success by con- trolling the other fellows, and that whatever meekness he manifested. was lost to attention as the country listened to the agoniZed cries from victims of the steam roller. Still, Mir. Taft makes no pretense to exces- sive goodness. and frankly admits that he sometimes fails to practice what he breaches.

Gaynor a Possible Moses.

The New York mayoralty contest and for this reason the result of the election will be of interest to the whole country. It is scarcely con- ceivable that Hearst, running as an independent, can be elected. But if he should be, his stock would go up rap idly
 The strongest probability 'of a new democratic Moses is found in Judge Gaynor. the Tammany candidate. Gaynor has been on the bench for nearly twenty years. and has made creditable record, both as a jurist and as a citizen. He has so often taken an independent stand on public questions that until recently he was never associated in the public mind with the corrupt machine which con- trols the democratic party in New York. His weakness now, and Hearst's strength. lie in his present utilization with Murphy and McCar- ren-rival bosses in New. York and Brooklyn and equally contemptible fin the minds of decent citizens.
