the series of municipal Fairgrounds
which the city administration is estab-
fishing throughout Oakland will be
located at the Durant school, Twenty

grounds and provide care takers and
directors. Work will be begun on the
new grounds at once.
Although the elaborate plans out

BERKELEY, June 20.-The buffalo

baffiing the scientists of the university.
and Prof w. B. Hegms. member Of

. The insect is unique in that 1t can
live under water and is equipped with
a special breathing apparatus which
enables il to remain submerged 1ndef-

food.
Strangely enough, the insect always
is a habitat of swiftly running water,

YOUNG ENGINEER

Prominent College Graduate
and Fraternity Man Suc=
cunbs in the Moiave

BERKELEY, June 2O.-Stricken
down by the fierce heat of the Mojave
desert. Charles Sprecher< Davidson,
prominent engineer of this city and
San Francisco and well known fra
ternity and college man, met his death
gram sent to his wife of seven months.
She was chaperoning a party of col
lege girls of the Kappa Kappa Gamma
at Inverness when she received the
meagre account of the death of her
husband, and hurried to her home in
this city. where she is prostrated with
grief.
LEFT FOR SHORT TRIP
The particulars of the fatality are
unknown here, but Norman C. Stines
and Herbert Masters. both of this city.
are known to have been in the party
with Davidson. Both are reported well.
and will bring home the body. David
son left here only a week ago, and in
tended to make a brief business trip
to the desert country. 1t is supposed
he was overcome by the heat while
out hunting.
His marriage with Miss Mary Robert
Blossom. daughter of the late Robert
Hurd Blossom, a pioneer of Red Bluff,
was a social event here last Novem-
ber, on account of the prominence of
the bride and groom. Both are well
known in the university set, and Mrs.
Davidson is member of the Kappa
Kappa Gamma sorority, and is a grad
uate of the university.
Davidson was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. p Davidson, well known resi-
dents of this city. His father is head
of the Mcneil teachers agency, while
his sister, Miss Gertrude Davidson, re-
Gently won praise for her magnificent
work in Paris during the flood. She
was made head of the Y. w. c. A.
work there after a successful record
on this coast. His mother is now visit
ing in Paris.
30 YEARS OF AGE
Young Davidson was born 80 years
ago in Springfield. O., and was grad
uated from the university with the
class of 1902. He was popular on the
campus and took some part in ath-
letics. Besides the Phi Kappa Psi fra
ternity he was affiliated with other stu
dent organizations.
Since graduating he followed his pro-
fession of electrical engineering. and
was member of the firm of Noble e,
Davidson of San Francisco, consulting
engineers, with offices in the Crocker
building.
Friends of the young graduate are
hourly expecting details of the death
of the young man.

BOARD Will GUST
SCHOOL TEACHER
Frank F. Bunker, Berkeley Su=
perintendent, Will Be Sup=
ported in Action

BERKELEY, June 20---The board of
education at its meeting tomorrow
night will uphold Frank F. Bunker,
superintendent of schools, and drop w.
II. Bryan, teacher of chemistry and
physics in the high school, from the
rolls of the department. Bryan at the
last meeting of the board made a fight
through his attorneys for reinstate-
ment, and the matter was put over for
two weeks. 1t is now definitely under
stood that the board will back up
Bunker in ousting Bryan.
Bryan declared to the board at the
hearing two weeks ago that while
Bunker had right to drop any teacher
he saw fit, suitable notice of his inten-
tion should be given, and it was on
the ground of lack of time in which to
secure another position that he filed
objections to Bunker's action before
the board.
Bunker claimed that he waited until
the last possible opportunity to Judge
whether Bryan was making good as a
teacher in the Berkeley high school
and fulfilling the high standards re-
quired of instructors before the teacher
was notified that his resignat tion would
be acceptable.
Bunker said that Bryan failed to re-
ceive the hint, and that he was then
forced to declare the position vacant
and secure another teacher better quail
flied, as he thought, for the local work.
When the matter is heard tomorrow
night it is likely that Bryan and his
attorney, w. G.. Crittenden, will make
fight on another angle to the situa-
ton. Bryan came here a year ago
from the PaTo Alto high school, where
he was highly thought of. He is a
Stanford graduate of a recent class

There is no other remedy for sick
