assistance, the men disappeared
through the shrubbery of the tract and
were later seen going toward the
Southern Pacific tracks. Upon investi-

had been thoroughly ransacked.

money was stolen from the residence
of B. Jones in the Broadmoor tract on

KINGS DAUGHTERS
APPEAL FOR AID
Must Raise Remainder of a Fund
of 100000 to Finish
Building

OAKLAND. Aug. 22.-The Kings
Daughters of California are making
final appeal for building fund OF
100000 with which to erect and
equip the proposed new home for in
curables at 5000 Broadway. The re-
cent campaign in behalf OF the fund
resulted in s5s.oo0 in cash and pledges
being raised, which leaves a balance
of $4,000 that must be added to the
fund in order to establish the home.
The new building is an absolute
necessity if the unfortunate incurables
are to be properly cared for, as the
present home is entirely inadequate
Regular hospitals will not take in
curables. The Kings Daughters is the
only organization that has attempted
to do this necessary and humane work
which has been carried on entirely
through the charity of the organiza-
tion and friends.
As a final appeal in this particular
effort, a campaign has been inaug-
urated under the direction of Mrs
Matilda Brown, president of the or
ganization, to raise the balance
$4,000. Every home in Oakland
Berkeley and Alameda is asked to
contribute at least one dollar.
Coin envelopes are being distributed
from house TO house by specially ap-
pointed workers, who may be iden-
titled by a badge they wear. with
Kings Daughters" printed upon IT
Every family is asked to donate what
it can, inclosing the amount Of the
gift in the envelope, which will be
called for Thursday. August 25. be-
tween the hours of and p. m.

year commencing May Is, 1910. One

port of cheating would result in his
dismissal.
The mining association of the uni
Versity, which last year adopted a
strict code of ethics in regard to
"cribbing" in the annual test. re-
ported the cheating of three of the
students. They were discovered using
outside help in the tests in mining 6
and physics 5, two of the hardest
courses. Summary action on the part
of the student affairs committee fol-
lowed
The warned student was found
cheating in mathematics B. In all

mended the suspension of a year in
three cases and the warning of the
student in the fourth.

committee are pledged to keep secret
the details of the cases of cheating,
and no names will be given out to the
public unless the case is so fla grant
as to warrant it.

"BABY FARMS" ARE
CAUSE OF PROTEST
President of State Society Asks
City Council to Protect
F0undlings

OAKLAND Aug. 22.--Legislation
holding the owners of baby farms"
and maternity homes rigidly RESPONSE
bic TO some authority is recommended
to the city council in a letter from Ed
win Fl. Newhall, president of the Cali
fornia Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children.
In the communication Newhall in
forms the council that officers of the
society have at different times investi-
gated the founding homes in the vi
cinity of Oakland. Regarding these
places he reports:
The conditions under which some of
the little ones have been found have
been far from ideal, although the man
ayers kept themselves sufficiently with
in the law to avoid arrest for actual
cruelty. In some of these places there
were found too many children for one
person to attend properly. In others
the housing was improper and the SAN
itation not of the best. One place now
exists where a private maternity estab-
lishment and rooms where children are
boarded are conducted under one roof.
This is bad from a moral standpoint at
least and the low fees charged for ma
ternity cases and childrens board
leaves the place open to question if not
to criticism. All to whom the lives of
women and children are entrusted
should be responsible to some one,
either board of directors or public
officials"
AS an immediate remedy Newhall
recommends that the state law enacted
several years ago to regulate maternity
establishments and places where chill
dren are kept to board be enforced.
He condemns the practice alleged to
prevail in some homes of selling chill
dren to the highest bidder This is
done, he reports under the pretense
that the managers wish simply to reim- :
burse themselves for the expense in
