RUSSIAN TROUPE
AT BELL THEATER
Group of Artists in Terpsicho.
rean Novelties Give an At
traCtive Exhibition

OAKLAND, May There is a big,
spectacular dancing fea ture at the Bell
theater this week that is in class all
by itself. The Alexandroff troupe of
nine persons, direct from st. Peters
burg, give an act that is riot of color
in a whirlwind of national dances.
The latest successful playlet, Uncle
Charles of Charleston" is big feature
of the stage burglar variety and is
given an extra good presentation by
that clever company, Mr.. and Mrs.
James McCann and associates.
A man with a most remarkable re-
semblance to Roosevelt and a ven-
triloquist at the head of his art is a big
hit in an oddity he calls "9 p. m. at the
White House.
Frank Whitman, who is STYLED THE
Dancing Violinist,'' is a delight, for his
work on the violin, combined with his
terpsichorean feats, is artistic and his
humorous antics make good comedy.
The Beau Brummell of monologists
is here in the person of Ralph Snow in
a breezy act and fashion plate attire. A
new feature of this theater, and one
that will be appreciated by the public,
is the opportunity which is now afford
ed to secure seats in the main audito-
rum during the week days at half the
price that has heretofore prevailed.

SOPHOMORE Wins
BONNHEIM Prize
w. w. Farrier Delivers Able
Address and Woman Stu
dent Is Good Second

BERKELEY, May 1.-William War
rem Ferrier, a sophomore student in the
University of California and a graduate
of the Berkeley high school, was award
ed the first prize at the Bonnheim dis
cussion in Hearst hall last night. Fer
rier's address was considered one of
the most able that has been heard at
the university on similar occasions.
He was pitted against Miss Lorraine
Andrews, also a sophomore student and
the first woman to qualify for the Bonn
helm discussion; H. c. Kelly, sopho-
more, and M. H. Reynolds of the fresh
man class.
Miss Andrews, who is a member of
the Gamma Phi Beta sorority and one
of the prominent women students of
the university, is considered the most
able woman speaker at the institution,
and she was second only to Ferrier in
last nights contest. H. c. Kelly and
M. H. Reynolds also brought forth
strong arguments and handled the sub
ject in an able manner.
The question was, Can the fraternity
and sorority be made serviceable to
real university aims?" Prof. M. c.
Flaherty of the department of forensics
acted as chairman.
The subject for next years discussion
will be: Should public institutions &C
cept money known to have been gained

TESTS DEMONSTRATE
FISHES HAVE MEMORIES
Experiments Show Gray Perch
Remembers ColorS

Even the fishes of the sea have pic
lures on memory's wall. Experiments
have been made with several fishes as
to their faculties for remembering, but
the most striking results have been OBJ
tanned with the gray perch, which lives
chiefly on q small Silvery hued Sardine.
Some of these were taken and col
ored red and were then put into the
tank where the perch was, with sew
eral silver colored sardines, says the
Chicago Tribune. OF course, the nor
NAL sardines were at once seized and
eaten, but it was not until hungry that
the perch made a tentative meal of one
of the red colored victims.
On recognizing the sardine flavor,
however, he promptly demolished the
remainder. Later the perch devoured
the sardines irrespective of color, thus
showing not only traces of a memory,
but also the power to differentiate
color.
Subsequently sardines colored red
and blue were placed in the tank to-
gether with the silver ones. The same
scene was repeated. the blue sardines
not being attacked until the others
vestigation of the newcomers After
the Introduction the perch ate the sar-
dimes of all three types without any
difficulty
Some spines of the sea nettle were
then fastened to the blue sardines.
These were sat once avoided by the
perch, who promptly got out of the way
of the newcomers. This showed traces
of memory. as the results of contact
with the sea nettle were shown and
recognized.

CHARITY WORKERS
REPORT ON NEEDS
Two Hundred Guests Dine at
Home Club and Discuss
Organized Efforts

OAKLAND, May 1.-An informal
dinner was given by the Associated
Charities at the Home club last even
ing, at which more than 200 guests
joined in general discussion of the
work and object of the association.
Rev. +. L. Goodspeed was POSTMASTER.
Mrs. Thomas B. Hogan, one of the
foremost among those who have inter-
ested themselves in the settlement
work of charity organizations around
the bay, delivered an address on The
Associated Charities, Families and
Neishborhoods." She paid a glowing
tribute to f. M. Smith, whose support
of the Home club and it's auxiliaries
had been the means of providing for
homeless children, and lessening the
necessity of a juvenile court. Mrs.
Hogan said that much credit belonged
to Mrs. Frances B. Lemon, whose inde-
fatigable labor had greatly advanced
the cause of charity.
Miss Ethel Moore spoke on flower
missions, Fairgrounds and other insti-
tuions for the benefit of children, re-
lating incidents in the work done in
New York city. She said that Oakland
had the ground, and that she hoped
some Of it would be set apart for home
less children.
Rev. c. r. Brown was then intro
duced, and said in part:
Inc LOrQ loVetn a Cneer1ul SlVeI,
according to the scripture, but the
giver should be intelligent as well as
cheerful. Soft hearts and soft heads
too often go together. The Associated
Charities aims not only to render tenn
porary assistance to poverty, but to
give reconstructive help. 1t strives to
put the unfortunate on their feet again.
Instead of giving a homeless child food
and allowing him to go his way, the
new idea of charity is to make further
investigation of the individual and give
him a chance to make good
H. G. Capwell, representing the char
tiles Endorsement committee, said that
it was composed of members of the
chamber of commerce and merchants
exchange, whose purpose was to see
that the charity work was conducted
in businesslike manner.
Fairfax Wheelan told of the work
done in the Juvenile courts orphan
ages and similar institutions, and OF
the many children who had been
adopted through their agency.

YOUTH OF NATION ARE
FILLING PENITENTIARIES
Young Criminals Most Feared
by Police, Says Petersen

BERKELEY, May THAT the crimes
committed in the present day are
mainly the work of men who have
not yet reached the prime Of life and
that this class of criminal is the most
dangerous and most feared by those
whose business it is to guard the peace
was the statement of Captain of De-
tectives W. j. Petersen of the Oak
land police department in an address
before the Young Mems Christian as
sociation in Berkeley this afternoon.
Chief of Police Vollmer of Berkeley
introduced Captain Petersen, who said:
The problem of preventing crime
and bringing criminals to justice is es-
sentially problem that deals with
young men. 1t is the youth of this
country that is filing its penitentiaries.
He is the most daring and cunning
criminal of them all and he is the one
most feared by the police, on account
of his disregard for the consequences,
or rather, his ignorance of where his
action will lead him.
After a young man is sent to the
penitentiary and has served a term in
that place there is little hope of his
reform. He is practically hardened
criminal then. The question of how to
deal with a prisoner who is in custody
for his first offense is difficult one.
There is always a hope that he may
reform if he is given one more chance.
There is practically no hope for him if
he is sentenced to spend a term of
years in prison.
The problems that confront the
young man of the present and that
will face the youth of the future will
be much greater than in the past, and
as the west is destined to be the great
est section of this country it is safe to
say that the young men of western
America must solve the criminal prob
lem that faces this nation and is grow
ing greater with each succeeding

Symphony Orchestra Will
Follow at IdOra

well week at big Idora park yesterday
amid the cheers, hurrahs and hand
clapping of the enthusiastic audiences.
There was regret when the dying
strains of the grand finale f1oated away

the close of one of F'erullo's finest con-
certs. but the realization that this
great Italian band has but one more
week at the park beautiful The

met with large and enthusiastic audi
ences.
During the remaining seven days
Ferullo's programs will be exception
ally good, embracing the most popular
selections of the preceding four weeks.
The favorite grand opera airs. the
rollicking twosteps and stirring
marches. the soft and dreamy Spanish
serenades, the popular rage and pic
turesque operettas will compose a Sc
ries of programs for this week, which
would be hard to equal. Ferullo has
been heard by more than 100000 people
and many of these will repeat their
former visits during the week TO hear
the great Italian band before its fare
well next Sunday night.
Following the Ferullo band comes
an attraction entirely different but no
less high class. Music lovers in gen
eral and opera devotees in particular
will take delight in listening to the
lie Brun grand opera company, together
with Paul Steindorff's superb symphony
orchestra, the unique attraction which
follows Ferullo. The LIE Brun company
will be heard in the popular grand op-
eras, giving scenes and entire acts in
costume accompanied by Steindorf' 5

FOREIGN WHEAT is
SHOWING STRENGTH

Chicago, Nov. 21.-There was a fir
mer tone abroad for wheat today and
the market here received full benefit
at the start. Prices opened one
fourth to three-eighths cents higher
than the close of Saturday. Closing
was at a net decline of one-fourth to
three-eighths cents a bushel from Sat-
urday.
There was some covering of shorts
at the opening of the market today
owing to the more bullish feeling gen.
orally throughout the world. Argen-
tina's crop is coming in for most of
the attention from the trade at this
time and therefore cables from there
are eagerly scanned.
Along with the improved foreign
situation there is a firmer tone for
cash wheat in this country. Mime

in the cash market there.
