SKULL AND KEYS
GIVEN UlTIMATUM
Told Annual Initiation on the
Campus Must Not Be as
Racy as in Past

BERKE Dec. 21.-The members
of the Skull and Keys interfraternity
society have been quietly notified by
the students affairs committee that
they have been for several years too
vulgar in their antics on the campus
in connection with the annual run
ming" of their neophytes. Their mi
tiation has long been college custom
and is looked for with considerable
interest by the students.
Each year the fraternitymen clad in
their duck trousers rolled up to their
knees to show stockings of .variegated
hues and their swallowtall coats nave
held a show on the football grounds
to the edifcation of several hundred
collegians.
Sometimes the fraternitymen recited
verses and sang songs which rather
shocked the women students. Some
times the affair went off without pro-
test The students affairs committee
has never before taken hand In the
running.
This year, however, the members of
the committee took up the subject
along with other discussions OF the
moral conduct of the students and
after considering the various phases of
the question quietly sent note to
the Skull and Keys to the effect that
their annual initiation would have TO
be conducted with decorum or the
campus would be denied them
The Skull and Keys men have not as
vet answered the note of warning and
probably don't intend to. They said
that while their runnings might have
shocked some of the spectators no
harm was intended, but If the COM
mittee protested they would obey the
mandate of the students who control
campus morals.
peculiar feature of the ultimatum
is the fact that Chaffee E. Hall. a
member of the students affairs COM
mittee. is also a member OF the Skull
and Keys. He is chairman of the So
ciety and submitted his report on the
action taken in reference to the Skull
and Keys to President s. w. Cunning
ham of the students.

BURGLARS DYNAMITE
POSTOFF.CE SAFE
Take Coin and Stamps Worth
$500 From Niles: Loot
Registered Mail

NILES, Dec 21-The safe of the
Niles postoffice was dynamited by
burglars last night and the thieves
escaped with $500 worth of coin and
stamps besides registered letters and
packages whose value is unknown.
Mail sacks were piled about the safe
to deaden the noise and the explosion
was not heard The discovery of the
dynamiting was made this morning by
Mrs NJ. E. Chalmers. the poStmiStreSs-
The postoffice clock was found to
have been stopped at o'clock, the time
of the explosion. Trains leave Niles at
early hours in the morning and the
burglars had several hours start before
their work was discovered.
This is the third robbery of the Niles
postoffice within the last four years.
Two years ago the same safe was blown
open in much the same way 1t was
repaired and used again. but was old
and could offer little resistance to ex-
perienced dynamite burglars.
The value of the contents of the
registered letters and packages can
not be ascertained, but the postoffice
contained many Christmas presents
that had been received yesterday.
An investigation this morning showed
that both front and rear doors of the
postoff1ce had been pried open to OBJ
tain admission to the building. The
Niles postoffice is isolated and affords
a good opportunity for thieves to work
unobserved. The entire place had been
ransacked, all the drawers and chests
having been broken open.
Sheriff Barnet was notified at once
and set out for the scene in person.
Copstab1es Roderick and Vandervoort
were also on the scene at an early hour
to investigate the burglary

D[CfIVES HOST BY
SHOWING NUGGETS
Slavonian Who Posed as Miner
Disappears With Warrant
Out for Him

OAKLAND, Dec. 21.-John Viscovich,
a Slavonian, proprietor of lodging
house at 1879 Fifth street, has sworn
out a warrant for the arrest of Yanko
Kukoyira, fellow countryman, who,
posing as fortunate mine owner of
Placer county, obtained a weeks free
board and $50 ASA loan from the land
lord. Kukovira is charged with obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
The lure which the supposed miner
held out was three gold nuggets. which
viscovich now thinks were bogus. They
were good enough vouchers at the time
for Kukovira's story to induce Visco-
vich to- take the stranger in. board him
on tick and finally lend him $50.
KukoviEa promised to pay back the
advance when he cashed check Get
ting tired of waiting. Viscovich asked
for the money yesterday. His guest
professed annoyance at being duaned
for so small an amount. but said
"Come with me and III get the
money"
Kukovira led to a billiard hall at
Seventh and Campbell streets. Leav-
ing his landlord there. he went through
a back door, climbed fence and re-
turned to the lodging house, from
which he took his belongings. He
then disappeared.

WILL NOT UNITE WITH
IMPROVEMENT CLUBS
Chamber of Commerce Explains
to Annexed Delegation

OAKLAND, Dec 21-L j. Grant,
G. A. Marshall and l. Mcintosh, com
posing complittee from the Fitch
burg Improvement club, held con-
ference with the executive committee
ernoon relative to the petition of the
Fitchburg club to be appointed a
branch of the Oakland chamber of
commerce.
The representatives of the chamber
of commerce pointed out that 1t would
be impossible to grant the petition be-
cause the club would be Obliged to in
dorse many purely local projects which
were not within the province of the
chamber of commerce.
The Fitchburg committee accepted
the dictum gracefully and asked the
chembers aid in securing a branch
library and free reading room for it's
community 1t was advised to submit
a petition to the library trustees of
Oakland.
Another proposition which was sub
mitted by the Fitchburg delegation
was the securing of gas supply for
the town. It was stated that Elm
hurst is supplied with gas from the
plant at San Leandro, while Melrose
gets its supply from the Oakland gas.
light and heat company. Fitchburg,
which is situated between the two
towns. is at present without a supply.
The chamber of commerce promised to
ask the Oakland company TO extend
its service to Fruitvale.

TRIAL OF FLOOD is
AGAIN POSTPONED
Partner of De Lancey in Crime
May Plead Guilty

OAKLAND. Dec. 21.--The trial of
A. J. Flood, who was clerk for former
Public Administrator George p. Gray
and who is accused of forgery. was
again postponed today by Judge Brown.
It was expected that Flood would plead
guilty today, but his attorney, Lin S.
Church, said that he was not yet ready
to go on with the case Church said
that he would not ask for any further
continuance January 4, the new date
set for the. trial, and promised that
the case would either go to trial then
or "be otherwise disposed off,
This latter statement is taken to
mean that there is little likelihood of
Flood insisting on his plea Of not
guilty. He has already confessed his
the mercy of the prosecuting officials
and the court when he gave his testi-
mony against Attorney John s. de Lam
Lancey's trial Flood hopes that his
punishment will be light because of
the assistance he gave District Attor-
ney Donahue.
The exact charge against Flood is
that he forged the signature. of f.
James Finney an undertaken, to re-
the burial expenses of A. l.. Pound
stone. a civil war veteran, who >was
buried at the county expense. Flood
pocketed the money which came from
the Poundstone estate. The discovery
of this led to the investigation that
resulted in the Indictment of De Lam
cey, who was Gray's attorney and who
is now serving six year sentence at
San Quentin.

OF DAILY PAPERS
Berkeley Graduate in Book Calls
Journals Great Factor in
Education of Masses

BERKELEY. Dec. 21-Using the
American newspapers for his theme
James Edward Rogers, a young grad
uate of the university. has written a
book, copies of which have been sent
10 friends Of Rogers in this city. The
student author is now in charge OF a
playground in Los Angeles.
The growth and DEVELOPMENT of the
newspapers are described in detail by
Rogers, who made an exhaustive study
Of the subject and gained much infor-
nation from Prof. Henry Morse Ste
Rhens of the history department, whom
he assisted while he was q. student al
the university.
After taking up the various types OF
journals Rogers ends with a summary,
declaring that the so called sensational
papers are the result of a demand on
the part of some. and that in general
the history of .the newspaper shows
that il answers the great law of sup
ply and demand.
From a standpoint of educating the
masses Rogers declares that there is
no greater agency in the country than
