Return to Native State Fol-

for Stealing Ride

OAKLAND June 23.-After a series
of thrilling experiences stretching from
San Francisco to New York by way of
the orient and Europe, followed by an
exciting journey across the United
States, N. F. Fairbanks, a prominent
student of the University of California,
class of 1912. and a member of the
Abracadabra club, arrived in his native
state several days ago and was then ar
rested on charge of vagrancy at
Blue canyon,
Young Fairbanks left San Francisco
early last February in company with
A. e. Baker a classmate and chum
with the intention of demonstrating
that the trip around the world coulS
be made without money. Baker dis.

land, which touched at Honolulu, the
principal cities of Japan and the orient,
finally reaching Southampton, England,
by way of the Suez canal.
PARTING AT NEW YORK
At southampton the wayfarers went
aboard the steamer Amerika, arriving
at New York May %. Baker decided to
remain in New York, where he obtained
finish the trip around the globe accord
ing TO his original intention.
Fairbanks left New York city on foot
June 8, walking the railway tracks,
stealing" rides in boxcars and on the
"blind baggage" or on the trucks and
rods of various railroad trains, gradu-
ally working his way westward. At
Sidney, Neb., while attempting to mount
on the truck" of one of the overland
limited cars he was arrested, but finally
succeeded in inducing the man to let
him ride.
When the overland reached Blue Can
yon Fairbanks was again placed under
arrest and taken to Colfax for trial. He
was found guilty of vagrancy and SEN
fenced to 80 days or fine of $50. On
refusing to pay the fine he was lodged
in jail.
VAGRANTcS PENALTY PAID
One night proved sufficient to satisfy
the students curiosity, however, and
upon payment of the fine through nego-
tiations with Oakland friends he was
released. Fairbanks arrived at his
home, 1915 Webster street, late Tuesday
night. In speaking of his experiences
Fairbanks said:
aside from the opportunity afforded
for study and education, my original
motive in making the trip around the
world was to demonstrate that the
journey could be made without money
My experience from New York city
across the country has satisfied me that
1t can be done and that the man who
makes the trip in such a fashion will
reap the benefits of the journey thou
sandfold."
Fairbanks endeavored to reach Oak
land in time to join the summer school
at the state university in order to catch
up with his class. He will resume his
college work in August.

Tower at the University.
This notice may relieve the amateur

information during the potato season.
Professor Tower yesterday told the
summer students about his bug
achievements in lecture soon 'Ex-

, lowed by all who wish to combine
pleasure and real novelty in gardening.
Raising potatoes is hard work, but
raising bugs is dead easy.
Professor Tower has investiga ted

In his most recent experiments he
has obtained potato bugs OF the most
striking. shades and Fpatterns, all
through his skill and inventiveness in
utilizing the methods Of selection, hy-
bridization and eternal modification Of
biological science.
The humble garden bug is known in
the scientific hooks at the genus lepti-
notarsa, and it is under this name that
the university professor mas tricked to
its lair in various parts of America
and changed its ideas of dress. The
genius leptinOtarsa now may put on
airs before the rest Of the chrysomelid
beetles, for it is the leader of the bug
