James Bryce, the political economist
and ambassador from Great Britain to
Washington, arrived in Berkeley yes
terday afternoon and will deliver the
charter day address this morning at the
University of California in the Greek
theater. Following that event until
the morning of April his time will be
taken up with giving the Earl course
Of lectures at the university, attend
ing receptions, dinners and luncheons
and in visiting points of interest about
the countryside.
Although one of his reasons for COM
ing out to California was to secure a
rest and recuperate from his official
duties, his time will be fully taken up.
and among the features of his stay
will be a night spent in Lick observ-
atory He is accompanied by Mrs.
Bryce. and at the conclusion Of their
visit here the couple will leave for the
Yosemite.
MAINTAINS SAME RETICENCE
Ambassador Bryce maintained the
same reticence regarding statements
for the public which has marked him
throughout his present stay in the
United States He refused to be inter-
viewed yesterday, but declared that
later in the week he would be pleased
to Exchange views with the repre-
sentatives of the press. 1t was sinti-
mated. however. that at this promised
interview political subjects would be
tabooed and that the famous political
economist would go no further in his
utterances than commenting on the
changes and progress of the state
since last he visited it.
On leaving Del Monte yesterday the
private car containing Ambassador
and Mrs. Bryce was taken to San Jose,
thence to Berkeley. Consul General
Hearn and Mrs. Hearn joined Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryce at San Jose and came on
with them to Berkeley. On leaving the
train the party was met by President
Wheeler of the University Of Califor-
MIA, and driven directly to Cloyne court
in North Berkeley, which Ambassador
and Mrs. Bryce will occupy during
their stay.
BRYCE TIRED BY TRIP
The ambassador appeared to be
greatly worn and tired as he stepped
from the carriage, and immedia tely on
entering the hostelry declared his in
tention of retiring. His refusal to be
interviewed he sent through Consul
General Hearn-
Mr.. Bryce regrets that he can not
grant an interview, SAID Hearn, but
promises one later in the week He
is greatly fatigued at present and has
great deal of work on his BRAIN"
While driving from the depot to his
hotel the ambassador repeatedly COM
mented upon the climate and the beauty
of the scenery, and in his conversation
with President Wheeler said he ap-
preciated it after the rigors of Wash
ington winter.
The dinner to be given Bryce by the
British subjects of San Francisco March
27 at the Fairmont hotel will be formal.
About $50 guests will be present.
