RACE FOR A MEDAL
Close Contest fo Coveted Place
as Most Brilliant Grad
uate of Year

BERKELEY, May 14.-Campus gos-
sip has narrowed down the fight for
the university gold medal, the reward
of the brightest scholar of the grad
uating class of 1910, to two men and
two women, and there is considerable
speculation as to whether a woman
viii again make away with the coveted
prize of the senior class.
Students who are members of the Phi
Beta Kappa society, from which the
medalist will be chosen, believe that
Clinton Conrad, senior student in the
college of mechanics. is first in line
for the honor of being called the most
brilliant graduate of the year. Con-
rad is known as an exceptionally
bright scholar. and in spite of the fact
that engineering students, on account
of the difficulty of their course, seldom
figure as members of the Phi Beta
Kappa society. Conrad was elected
neophyte in hts junior year.
A. j. Eddy of the college of civil en-
gineering and resident of San Fran
cisco is also looked upon as a possible
medalist. Eddy found time from his
arduous studies to devote attention to
the military department and recently
captured a university prize for being
crack shot 1t is regarded as significant
that he was elected to the faculty
short time ago, before graduation, and
that he is to be one of the university
commencement day speakers. This is
deemed to be conclusive by some that
he already has the race for the medal
won.
Miss Belle Clark and Miss Mary Ada
Pence, both students of the college of
letters, are thought by their friends to
be close up in the medal race. 1t
would not surprise them If either
woman should take the medal from
the men, as was the case last year,
when Miss Mary Louise Phillips was
declared by the regents and Doctor
Wheeler the most brilliant university
scholar of the year and class. Miss
Clark is we'll known for her social ac-
tivities. and Miss Pence has been prom
inent in affairs of the university and
class

TRUSTEES WANT ALL
WIRES UNDERGROUND
San LeandrO Delays Franchise
of New Electric Company

SAN LEANDRO, May 14.-The Peo-
pies electric light and power company
will receive no franchise in this city
unless It agrees to concede to the board
Of trustees the right to order wires
placed under ground in any street or
avenue. In the franchise which was
approved by the former board there
is clause which only gives the trus-
tees the power to order the wires laid
in conduits in Estudillo avenue and the
streets and avenues surrounding the
plaza.
This the present trustees object to,
as it leaves them at the mercy of the
corporation in all other highways OF
the city. The representatives of the
company declare that the demand for
the new clause is unreasonable, mas
much as it is not in the franchise
granted TO the Suburban company
Thus a deadlock has been reached
and further proceedings IN giving the
new company a right 10 enter the city
have been held in allegiance. The mat
ter viii be taken up again Monday
night.

EVENTS IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING THE FRANCISCO
Strong SHOW TO
Open AT ORPHEUM
Great Baseball Sketch Will
Head Bill Which Begins
This Afternoon

OAKLAND, May 1.-THE show
which vaudeville critics of San Fran
cisco have declared the best sent to the
coast this year will be offered to Or
pheum theatergoers on this side of the
bay tomorrow, when the new bill for
the week will begin in the afternoon.
There are some European features,
which the management say are calcu-
lated to make something of sensa-
ton, and the American musical COM
edies and dramatic numbers are of
very high class.
The celebrated baseball sketch,
Swat Miligan,'' written by Bezeman
Bulger, will head the bill, Several
capable performers appear in this. Lit
tie Vienna Bolton, mighty clever
actress, takes the role of a street wall,
and some of her savings in this part
have become part of the slang OF the
day. Johnny German, one of the clev-
crest comedians on the vaudeville
stage, is the messenger boy, and in the
part of the Englishman Charles Ken
nedy is hit in every city.
The Avon comedy four will show a
quartet surrounded with novel and hu-
morous farce, ideas. Goodwin, Cole
quartet, and they present what they
call The New School Teacher" with
the night school on the east side of
New York, and all the scholars as &C.
centric as the teacher.
The three sisters Klos is the name
of troupe, recently imported from
Europe by the Orpheum, which lately
finished a very successful engagement
at the London Hippodrome. They are
considered Europes most graceful and
daring women aerialists.
An American sensational act is fur
nished in John McCloskey, a young
tenor with a remarkable voice. He was
educated in Europe and after his first
appearance in New York was hailed as
the American Caruso" by newspapers.
Oscar Hammerstein as stage gossip
goes, tried to sign him for the Manhat-
tan opera company, but Martin Beck
had previously retained the young
singer for his circuit.
Some good acts will be held over.
Elita Proctor Otis, the headliner of this
week, will repeat her sketch, Mrs.
Burners Bun; the five juggling Nor
mans will again dazzle with their club
work; Anna Laughlin, the singer and
comedienne, and Marshal Montgomery.
the extraordinary ventriloquist, will
complete the bill.

@
Extract from an interview with w. w.
Garthwaite, President Of the Oak
land Bank Of Savings:
"At first glance the price, Sic, ,600,-
600 (for little half interest),
seems too high, but after listening to the
opinions Of Major j. II. DocI<weiler, the
citys expert water, and Arthur l..
Adams (engneer Peoples Water Com
pany), both eminent, conservative
eineers, whose integrity will
question: am satisfied the price is not
too high when the benefits to accrue to
the City of Oakland are taken into
sideration.''
Extract from report Of Major j. II.
DockWeileF, G. G., Consulting En-
gIneer or the CITY or Oakland:
This total value ($11 sol ,4e7.o7)
for sale purposes, gives the Peoples
Water Company the benefit of each
item, and includes all of the five divi-
sions Of the system, of which the Oak
land division produced roughly 7O9 of
the revenue for the year 1909.
sit also includes 100000 for
going business which has no value
for purposes of fixing, and as
sumes clear title and possession of all
lands, 5000 Of which are i'm the
possession of squatters, who claim title
to the same"
The philosophers notwithstanding, it
is evident that great minds do not run
in the same channel; that is, water
channels.
