WEST POINT CADETS STILL
 STAND PAT

West Point, N. Y., Sept 2s-For the fourth consecutive day since the entire cadet corps of the United States Mill tary Academy was put under arrest for giving the ''silence'' to Captain Longan, Instructor in tactics, that body continued today to stand pat. To vulge, to the court of inquiry the names of the cadets who instigated the ffsilent" treatment. as well as the reasons why it was administered.
 The return of General Barry, who is in command of the academy, has fail ed to alleviate the tactical insubordi- nation that now exists. He at once ordered the court of inquiry to con- tfnue it's Investigation.
 The court yesterday examined SS more cadets and today was still sum- moning them. The court is now con names of those who instigated the f'si- lence" in order that a few of the ca dets may be punished without involv- ing the entire corps To meet this, it a uniform policy of testimony. They tell the court that when the silence was administered, they merely saw several other cadets doing it and so joined in the treatment themselves. Not one of the cadets has admitted that there was a premeditated conspir- acy. At present, from the cadets of their arrest is he fac ha, confne- ment to their barracks has put an end to all football practice. This will necessitate the calling off, in all prob ability, of the game scheduled Satur- day with the University of Vermont. and may interfere with some more inn portant games scheduled for later in the season.
 Interest is also centering in what kind of treatment will be accorded Captain Longan next Saturday when he again becomes officer of the day. It is not considered possible that the cadet body will. again attempt to hu- initiate him. but what Captain Lon gan will do is problematical. In ad- dition to making the cadet corps get out on the campus and do double tinae'' when 1t t'silenced'' him, he also sent the entire body to bed. at an ear ly hour and when he takes charge again Saturday he may have further measures of a noval kind for reducing the corps to subordination.

WARNING TO POLICE
Oakland Officers Now Search
for "BIoodthirsty Band"

OAKLAND, July 2S.-The police are
hunting for band of bloodthirsty
cynics to save Laurence Donlon from a
cruel death at the hands of the heart
less scoffers. The search was insti-
tuted this morning, when Mayor Frank
K Mott received from John Dennigan
of 412 Third avenue, New York, cou-
sin of the endangered Donlon, a suppl
eating letter. Donlon had sought COM
fort by mail from his New York kins-
man. and his remarkable letter, which
follows, made Dennigan uneasy;
Dear Cousin: / desire to let you
know that 1 am in trouble and will be
put to death in most cruel manner
by cynics Goodby. l am your cou-
sin, Laurence Donlon. Oakland, Cal.'
Dennigan, who is a New York busi-
nessman, was so alarmed by the i'm
pending fate of his cousin that .he
hastened to ask help from Mayor Mott.
He wrote an appeal to look up his
imperiled cousin and write to Gotham.
Inclosing the letter from Donlon,
Dennigan sent this missive to the
mayor, who gave it to his secretary,
Edward Tyrrel, who gave it to Cap
tain of Detectives Petersen, who de-

Holland went to the board of health

BERKELEYANS INVENT
AIR STEERING DEVICE
New Principles to Be Applied
to BipIane When Completed

BERKELEY, July 2S.-New princi-
pies of steering aeroplanes have been
adopted by E. P. de Berry and w. C.
Wheeler, who are completing a biplane
in the rear of their home at Home
street and Berkeley way. The Wright
brothers have patents on d number of
steering devices, but De Berry and
Wheeler think that their plan. which is
secret, is a superior method of aero
plane guiding.
The young men are building a BIZ
plan modelled after the Farman ma
chine and expect to make fight with
in the next two months. The frame
work is practically complete, but the
canyas for the supports will have to be
laid and the engine installed
This machine will arrive in fort
night from the east from the Rutenber
factory. The engine was selected on
account of it's lightness and great
horsepower.
De Berry is working on the F'arman
machine daily, and Wheeler expects to
have his Bleriot monoplane completed
within a month after the biplane is
ready.
Both young men and others are MEM
bers of the Berkeley aero club. which
has been organized to make a study of
aviation.

rigid CONTRACTS
SAFEGUARD CITY
Oakland Hall Architects Will
ForestalI Any Suspicion
of Petty Graft

OAKLAND, July 28.-Contracts more
rigid than any ever known in this city
are being prepared by Henry. Horn
bostel, one of the city hall architects
and City Attorney Stetson, in order
that every detail of the expenditure of
the s1.ooo,0o0 bond money may be reg
ulated and no suspicion of graft may
arise. Hornbostel said today that he
was requested by Mayor Mott to pre-
pare such instruments in the interest
of the city,
Hornbostel is preparing the detailed
plans for the building. He has decided
that California granite will be used in
the structure. and Sullivan w. Jones,
the Junior partner of Palmer & Horn
bostel, is now investigating quarries.
Building material will be purchased in
Oakland SO far as possible.
Hornbostel is preparing scales of the
floors of the new hall. The .edifce viii
have five times the floor space of the
present building and offices will be so
arranged that the space may be in
creased by changing partitions.
City officials are in constant consul
tation with the architects regarding
the disposal of space in departments.
The new Jail which will occupy the
three uppermost stories, will be so
divided that prisoners may be segre-
gated according to their offenses or
their terms. An emergency hospital
room will be provided for the imme-
diate attendance of injured or i'll pris-
oners, and in the lower quarters de-
voted to the police purposes will be a
gymnasium and reading room for
patrolmen.
The first words of the mayor to me-
said Hornbostel, were that in this
work he wanted everything SO abso-
lutely on the level that there could be
no question of petty graft anywhere.
We are drawing up an ironclad con-
tract to cover every detail of the
$4,000 600 work.
II am glad to deal with an admins
tration such as Oakland has. Oakland
will have a city hall like none other
in the country, and l believe the city
will be proud of its work.

ELKS GET PROPERTY
IF TAPPAN GOES CRAZY
Alameda Justice Files Unique
Will With Recorder

OAKLAND, July 2S.-The Alameda
lodge of Elks is made beneficiary in a
unique document filed for record today
in the office of the county recorder by
Justice of the Peace r. B. Tappan of
Alameda. Certain of his personal prop
erty, Tappan says, though he does not
say what it is, is to go to the Elks in
case he dies or goes crazy
The document is couehed in the
breezy mixture of legal verbiage and
drollery which has made the Alameda
justice famous and has brought down
on his head on more than one occasion
the displeasure of superior court
judges for levity in legal papers.
Tappan says that the trustees he ap-
points shall not examine too closely for
evidences of insanity, and that if he is
seen leading horse over the hills
while / am hatless. coatless and wear
ing a bandana handkerchief over my
head, or wearing moccasins in the
city" these things shall not be taken
as signs that he is crazy.
David w. Martin, former supervisor,
and Albert Toye and Clark Spence, all
of Alameda, are named trustees.
The funeral shall not cost more than
SIS. Tappan directs.
II have already paid SO for red
wood box to. convey my remains to the
