FOR CAMPUS CALLS

Tell Where Evenings
Will Be Spent

BERKELEY. Nov. 1s.-No opposition
developed at the meeting of the women
students of the university in Califor-
MIA hall this morning and the new reg
ulations and suggestions" went
through triumphantly
1t will now be breach of good faith
on the campus If women have callers
after 1920 O'Clock or If they keep
evening engagements without telling
where they are going. Incidentally all
walks on the campus or otherwise must
end at 10 o'clock
Miss Rose Gardner presided at the
meeting and Miss Lucy Sprague was
one OF the speakers. The way had
been carefully oiled, however, and the
only suggestions made were by Miss
Leigh Stafford, who asked If the 10
o'clock rule was compulsory. She
was Informed that such was not the
case, only the sentiment of the women
being in favor of it,
The suggestions were drawn up by
the new women's students affairs com
mittee. composed of Miss Rose Gard
ner, chairman. and Misses CheryI Mer-
rill, Mabel Sadler. Ann Hunt and Irene
Patchett. and every woman In the uni
versity will receive a copy by mail.
AT the beginning of next term the
regulations and suggestions, adopted
without dissenting vote, will form a
prominent part of the study sched-
ules submitted by the faculty
The rules are the result of agitation
on the campus among the women for
the last two years. and point to the
taking over by the women of their own
affairs, now in the hands largely of the
general student body, composed of men
and women.

Death COURTED
TO end SORROW
II. W. Ballard of Alameda Takes
Morphine After His Wife
Leaves Him

/ ALAMEDA, Nov. 1S-With his mind
temporarily broken by conflicting emo
tions and his body racked by illness
brought on by nights of unrest, H w.
Ballard, whose wife left him and her
children, attempted to end his life last
night at his apartments in the Cres-
cent hotel by swallowing six grains of
morphine sufficient, his doctors say to
instantly kill man under ordinary
circumstances. Ballard, however. paced
his room after taking the drug, and
this saved his life, according to DR..
w j. Hosford, who first attended him.
Doctor Hosford worked for four hours
before the patient revived. Ballard is
still in danger.
In delirious moments Ballard cries
out against his wife claiming that she
has unjustly accused him of undue IA
miliarity with a stenographer who was
in his employ and was known as the
merry widow" in the Metropolis Bank
building In San Francisco, in which
Ballard's offices are located.
W. A. Ballard. a brother of II. w.
Ballard, said today that he had had a
conference with Mrs. Ballard in San
Francisco last night and that she had
reiterated her charges against her hus-
band and again declared her intention
not to return to him. Mrs. Ballard
said that she would return to her home
in Colorado.
When her husband was told of her
statements. while not delirious, he as
serted that he did not wish to have
anything more to do with a woman
who would desert her husband and chill
dren and intimated that enemies were
influencing his wife against him.

CENSUS OF HAWAII
SHOWS INFLUX OF JAPS
Anti-Asiatic Laundry League
Here Comments on Figures

The secretary Of the Anti-Japanese
laundry league in his report at Thurs
day nights meeting called attention to
the official census figures for the Ha-
waiian islands.
These figures show an increase of
1S,54S Japanese in the last 10 years
and decrease Of 36SS Hawaiians dur
ing the same decade. The totals are:
Japanese, 1900. 61.115, and 1919 1868.
Hawaiians, 1900, 29,7s7, and 1910, 5000
This said the secretary. ''is the In
eyitable result of the encoura cement of
Japanese industries and should be a
lesson to every Californian.
There is no longer race problem
lin the islands. The Hawaiians have ac-
cepted their fate and have resigned
themselves to the fact that while the
full blood Hawaiians are decreasing
Asiatic- Ha waiians are increasing
which condition will prolong the ex-
istence of Hawaiian blood

BRITTON COMPARES
THE LIGHTING RATES
Says That Comparison With
Alameda Is Erroneous
Pacific Gas and Electric Company,
AS Sutter street. San Francisco.


November 1S 1910.
Editor Call: I note an editorial in
your issue of October q subheaded
"Plundered by the Lighting Company"
which apparently had it's origin in a
communication in the Alameda Times
Star. in which communication it is stat
ed that the rate charged in San Fran
cisco, Oakland and Berkeley is from
to II cents per kilowatt hour, against
cents in Alameda. This you repeat in
your editorial, and comment thereon.
The statement in the Alameda Times
Star is an erroneous one. The rate pre-
vailing in San Francisco is fixed by or
dinance of the board of supervisors
having for a lighting rate maximum
of cents and minimum of "a cents.
In none of the cities mentioned is a
rate charged in excess of cents, and
the majority of current sold under the
ordinance in San Francisco, and by the
same rates in Oakland. is less than the
cent rate charged in the city of Ala
media. The average rate for all cur
rent sold in both cities is between 5
and 6 cents per kilowatt hour.
] ask that you will, in fairness to the
companies involved, publish this COM
munication in order that the erroneous
statements, and upon which you relied
for your article, may be corrected.
Yours very truly.

Vice President and General Manager.
