FRESHMEN WARNED
AGAINST CRIBBING
Honor System on Campus of
University Is Given Decided
Boost by Announcement

BERk kELEY, Oct. 10.-The first tam
gible honor system devised on the
campus of the university. which prob
ably will bear fruit on account Of the
source from which it emanated, was
brought into being by the students
affairs committee which issued in
structions to the freshman classes as
to cheating In college examinations.
The letter tells of the sentiment against
"cribbing" on the campus and that the
university does not expect the entrant
to resort to such means. If he does,
the letter says, prompt punishment will
be given to offenders if caught The
letter follows:
The undergraduate student af-
fairs committee feels. that most of
the cheating which occurs is done .
because of ignorance of the senti-
ment against it and of the neces-
Sity for fair play here as we'll as in
other lines of student activity.
Cases of cheating reported to the
committee must and will be acted
on according to existing prece-
dents
The committee therefore desires
al this time to call your attention
TO the matter in the full confidence
that no university man will gain a
personal advantage at the expense
of his fellow students and to the
detriment of the spirit of Cali
fornia
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT
AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.
Although there is at the university a
committee of the students appointed to
devise an honor system little headway
has been made on account of the di-
vided sentiment Of the student BODY.
The notice of the student affairs com
mfttee is a step toward the accomplish
ment of a system of conducting exam
nations on the honor of the student,
and it has the authority to back up its
notice by melting out punishment to
offenders

.SHIPYARDS ON GREAT
LAKES ARE FAVORED
Navy Department Informs House 1t
Knows of No Reason Why War;
ships Cannot Be Built for
Inland aWters

WASHINGTON, March 21.--The navy
department reported to the house to-
day 1t knew of no reason why all types
of vessels could not be built on the
great lakes. This replied to resolu-
tion asking for the navys point Of
view on that point, and Secretary
Meyers opinion is based on the as
sumption that the only "obstacle," a
term used in the resolution, are physi-
cal ones and sufficiently deep water
way from the seaboard could eventual
ly be constructed.
Secretary Meyer says information at
hand indicates that more than dozen
shipyards could be built on the great
lakes, plants and organization such
as to enable them to build the hulls
and machinery, and to launch naval
vessels of the maximum size capable
of being taken through the st. Law
renee canal system.
The breadth of recent battleships is
such as would prevent any but second
class vessels of limited draft from en-
tering any of the dry docks listed on
the great lakes

~ HICAGO. March 21-Eight weeks
after It had begun it's investga-

Sherman antitrust law the federal
grand Jury today returned indictments
against the National Packing company
and ten subsidiary concerns.
Immediately upon announcement OF
the indictments, the government filed
a suit seeking the dissolution OF the
company. The suit is one in equity.
The defendants are the National

In a statement issued on behalf of

limit. His statement follows:

forms but a small part of the whole
volume of the packing industry.
"This proportion could not consti-

are confident the courts viii sustain

Denies the New York Executive Is

Opponent of Political

Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, March 21.-The i'm
mediate recognition by the New YORK
state legislature of the Hughes poll
cies and Of Governor Hughes as the
party standard bearer, together with
fearless investigation and complete
unveilng of all past legislative cor
ruption, is the only avenue of hope for
the Republican party in New York
state, according to a statement made
today by Seth Low, former president
of Columbia university, and eX-mayor
of New York city.
The statement says, in part
Nothing would be easier, out OF
such conditions as now exist, than to
divide the party in the state into hos
tile camps, either of which would take
greater pleasure in defeating the
other than in defeating the Democ-
racy. The experience of the Democra-
cy with Mr.. Bryan illustrates the kind
of discipline for party to which that
sort of thing is likely to lead.
"The unreasoning hostility of the
organization to Governor Hughes is
not only injuring the party in the
state, but throughout the United
States, for little as the organization
in the state of New York may be able
to appreciate it, Governor Hughes out
side of the state is a tremendous asset
Il had the pleasure of speaking II
the middle west during the last pres
idential campaign in some of the
| states in which Governor Hughes haC
/ spoken. Everywhere I found that NJ
| one else had spoken for the party will
such great effect, and everywhere thu
interest in his recollection as governor
was hardly second to interest in thu
election of Taft as president. The prob
lem confronting the Republican party
of the state of New York cannot bt
appreciated unless this fact is thor
.oughly well apprehended.
Anyone who presents Governor
Hughes as an impractical dreamer in
politics and as opposed to strong party
organization, either deceives himself
or is attempting to deceive others.
"There must be- first of all, an in
vestigation in regard to legislative cor
ruption. to follow the completion OF
the trial of Senator Aids. 1t is per-
fectly clear that the party ought tC
show itself willing fearlessly to unveil
any corruption that may have existed
in the recent past, even if some of its
own members may have been involved
The horrid revelations concerning fire
insurance methods are likely to make
the public demand for such an inquiry
as irresistible as an avalanche"

phrey of Warner, S. D., made curious
by tales of money being lost in fire
which destroyed two buildings at
Fourth and A streets early tn morn

shovel and in a few minutes brought

Shortly afterward the remainder of
the skeleton was uncovered and the

is believed to be that of man burned
to death in the fire four years ago. A
curious crowd delved into the ruins
after Humphrey left and succeeded in
finding many small silver coins. The
hunt for more treasure continues.

one in which the notorious murderer

insect sand reptiles, and when the
ground was dry the timekeepers of the
skirmish runs were busy killing the
