UNIVERSITY MEN
BUILD STOCKADf
Faculty Members, in Shirt.
sleeves, Take Possession
of Disputed Ground

BERK ELEY. Nov. 13.-A professor of
logic, professor of mathematics and
the university dean of men students
with Frederick Torrey. took Off their
coats Thursday afternoon. and in shirt
sleeves built a stockade around a lot
in the exclusive Piedmont avenue sec
tion of this city, near Clayton road, to
prevent the lot being sold TO E T.
Parsons, who desired to build a bunga-
low on the property. The university
men want the lot for a roadway and
park. to deed TO the city.
Professors c. II. Richer. A W. Whit
ney and Lincoln Hutchinson of the uni
versity faculty and Frederick Torrey,
interested in the matter, all of whom
maintain their homes adjoining the lot
m dispute, consulted counsel and ascer-
tained that possession was nine tenths
of the law. Accordingly the educators
promptly seized the property. although
it is owned by a DR.. T. Mouser of san
francisco, and prepared 10 hold the
land against all comers.
They built the fence in two hours
time and after considerable labor. Then
they hired three men TO act as a perma-
nent guard. A tent for sleeping pur-
poses and one for cooking of meals was
provided and the guardsmen have since
kept a day and night vigil on the prop
erty. Parsons has not as yet tried to
tear down the fence and seize the
land.
Both the professors and Parsons. it
is understood, wanted the land, and it
was race TO get the option. Doctor
MOuser can not be easily reached, and
so the university faculty men seized
the lot pending the opening OF nego-
tiations with him. Doctor Mouser has
declared that he will sell to the high
est bidder.
The college sayants have secured the
services OF Joseph Hutchinson, an at
torney of San Francisco, and will at
once begin suit in equity for the land
The educators declare that the land
which adjoins the property, of Profess
sors Hutchinson and Whitney. is needed
for a roadway and park. Recently the
professors and others interested in the
project asked permission of the city
council to build a parkway and orna-
mental roadway to Canyon road
1t was this lot which was the KEY to
the situation, and after the council
had granted permission for the work
Of making the park and roadway. Par
sons is said TO have attempted 10 buv
the property. The stockade is now be-
ing used TO thwart his designs.

OAKLAND. Nov. lS.-Active work in
the most remarkable campaign this city
ever saw closed this evening with a
mass meeting at Carpenters hall
Twelfth and Brush streets. where some
OF the most prominent men in the city
addressed the throng in advocacy Of
The bond and annexation projects.
The campaign has been remarkable
for two reasons. il was conducted in
support of the two greatest municipal
problems rbat ever were broached here
the Improvement OF the water front
and the doubling Of the city territory.
The second reason for the distinction
Of The campaign from all other local
issues lay in the solidarity OF the citi-
zenship on the two problems. There
was absolutely no opposition TO either
in the higher places: and there was. a
lack OF organized voters opposition
equally manifest.

are depended upon rs factors which
may stimulate recovery as did similar
factors In the case Of San Francisco
and Galveston.
1t Is possible now to estimate the ex-
tent Of the disaster and speculate on
ATS causes. Professor Ricco, director
of, the observatory at Catania, states
that the earthquake of Dec % had its
maximum violence in Sicily and at the
southern point Of Calabria The ruin
spread from Castroreale, in Sicily, to
PaImi. in Calabria. Il distance of forty
miles. The earthquake was felt less
violently from Noto, in Sicily. to Co
'senza. in Calabria, a distance of 1856
miles. There have been at least fifty
minor shocks since the great one which
did so much damage, and more are to
be anticipated.
Earthquake experts who are study
ing the phenomenon generally agree
that the earthquake was the result Of
u fault in the geological formation un-
der NIessina, which constituted a line
of contact in the volcanic actions be-
tween Mount Etna and Mount Vesu-
vius, and that slip occurred similar
to the one which long ago detached
Sicily from the mainland That a sub
ssidence occurred at some points and
that there was rising of the earth's
surface ut others are proved by sound
ings which show the channel Of the
harbor deeper at some places and shall
Mower at others. The British battleship
Exmouth, at distance one-half mile
south Of Reggie, found fifty eight faith
Oms of water where formerly there
were 243.
