PROBATION IS NOT
LIKELY FOR FLOOD
Further Transactions of Shady
Nature on His Part Are
Brought to Light>

OAKLAND, Jan. Io.-Evidence that
A j. Flood. clerk of former Public
Administrator George D. Gray. has not
money that came wrongfully into his
hands was given today before Judge
Brown, who intimated that he was not
in favor of granting Floods application
to be placed on probation instead of
being sent to the penitentiary for forg-
cry. Final decision on the matter was
continued by Brown until Friday, but
some OF the utterances OF the judge
during today's hearing were of such
nature that Flood received no encour-
agement.
1t was shown that Flood received a
$50 "rakeoff' from DR.. George H. Der
rick, who had claim for medical serv-
ices against the estate of the late
George Hite Cook John S. de Lancey,
who was attorney for the public admin
istrator received a like amount. Der
ricks original bill against the Cook
estate was s1,0s4. Judge Brown, who
then had charge of the probate depart
ment, cut the claim to 500. The "7"
was changed to g." so that the claim
was made to read for $500. The forgery
was committed by De Lancey, accord
ing to the testimony that Handwriting
Expert Eisenschimel gave this morn
ing.
Derrick also testified this morning.
He said that he had called on De Lam
cey repeatedly for the payment of the
claim, but could get no satisfaction. At
last, realizing that he was being held
up. he said that there would be some
thing in it for De Lancey and Flood If
the claim was paid at once. Flood
thereupon gave him the $500 that the
bill called for, and Derrick returned
him $10O OF this 500 Flood testified
this morning that he had given half to
De Lancey, keeping the other half for
himself
District Attorney Donahue, who called
the attention of the court to this trans
action, said that Flood had received an
other 5000 in similar manner.
Judge Brown asked Flood If he had
made restitution Of these amounts.
He intends to do So broke in Lin
S. Church. Floods attorney.
He should have done so before ask
ing for probation. replied Judge
Brown who also said: Il realize that
there is no statute that makes receiv-
ing money in this way crime, and 1t
is. therefore, impossible to institute
criminal proceedings against this de-
fendant for the money he so received;
but it was certainly transaction that
involved moral turpitude on his part

HEALTH CULT FADDIST
CHASED AS WILD MAN
Doctor Sees Man in Bare Feet
and Telephones Police

ALAMEDA, Jan. 1o.-The south side
residential district in the neighbor-
hood of Clinton avenue and Union
street was given a scare at daybreak
this morning by the antics of a sup
posed wild man, who, the police be-
lieve, was a well known resident ad-
dicted to taking early morning outings
in his bare feet through the dewy
grass, after the health toning practice
made famous by Father Kneipp.
DR.. Harry D. Smith OF 1923 Clinton
avenue was one of the first to see the
supposed wild man, who was sock1ess
and had his trousers rolled up to his
knees.
The barefooted stranger walked and
sprinted by turns. He would occa-
sionally omit a snort and also ex-
claim ouch" DIR. Smith telephoned to
the police. Patrolman Al HUFF was
detailed to bring in the untamed in
dividual, but the bare legged unknown
saw the posse first, and, taking to his
shoeless heels, quickly disappeared.
Now all the south side is asking,
Who was the wild man."

PLEAD FOR MUNICIPAL
SCHOOL BOND ISSUE
Practical Education and New
Charter Topics of Debate

OAKLAND, Jan. 10-The necessity of
practical education and the need for a
bond issue in the near future to pro-
vide for the development and extern
sion of the school system of Oakland
was the subject of an address made by
City superintendent of Schools Nc
Clymonds before the Oakland City and
County consolidated club in Odd Fell
lows hall, Eumhurst, Saturday even
ing.
Other speakers were Councilman Har-
old Everhart, who talked on the need
for new city charter, and James p.
Montgomery, who advocated certain
features as absolutely essential to any
new charter which Greater" Oakland
might adopt.
Montgomery maintained that the gov
ernfng body of the municipality should
be given all necessary power which
would be compatible with the city's
best interests, but that there should be
virtually no restrictions placed upon
the legislative power other than the
exercise of the recall function by the
people.

DORMITORY CONTROVERSY
REACHES LAST CHAPTER
Authorities No Longer in Con-
troll of College Hall

BERKELEY, Jan. 1O.-The univer-
sity's position in regard to College
hall, formerly the dormitory of the
women students, over which there was
a controversy last term over the pay
ment of board. was made plain today
when from the presidents Office was
issued the following:
The attention of the students of the
university is called to the fact that
there is at present no dormitory or
boarding house under university SUI
pervision or control. Nor has any
university representative been ap-
pointed to preside over any such board
ing house"
This ends the College hall episode
as far as the university is concerned.
Miss Maude Cleveland, assistant ad-
wiser of women, said today that the
women who formerly lived in College
hall had sought other quarters, al
though about 20 women were living
there now

COLLEGE WRITER
SCORES 'CRIBBING'
Comments on Prevalence 0i
Cheating and Puts Blame
on Espionage System

BERKELEY, Jan. 10-That crib
bing" is still prevalent in the univer-
sity. and that it is due in some cases
to the spying attitude of instructors, is
the declaration in the first editorial of
the term written by Chaffee E. Hail.,
editor in chief of the Daily Californian,
the student daily, and son of Judge S.
P. Hall of the district court of appeal
Hall wastes no works on the situa-
tion as he sees it, and asks the ad-
vice of the student body in the elimina-
tion of wholesale cheating in examina-
tions.
BY dishonesty, Hall declares, the
standard of scholarship is raised and a
new feature enters into the question;
students who do not cheat have more
dificult time to keep up their stand
ard of work done in the face of the
marks received by the cribbers.
Editorially Hall said today in part:
For some years past 1T has been
the fashion in the university to de-
lude ourselves and others by an
nouncing on every possible occasion
that cheating in examinations is
becoming thing of the past. We
believe that the true state of af-
fairs Is just the contrary; that
there is no appreciable decrease in
the amount of ''cribbing," and that
our much vaunted sentiment against
this form of dishonesty is not ac-
tive. but 50 Quiescent that the
guilty parties have come to have
no shame in their dishonesty, but
have come to take "a kind of pride.
in their success in passing courses
by means of written cribs" or
by the help of their neighbors.
The cause of this low standard of
honor is difficult to explain. In
some cases, undoubtedly, it Is due
to the attitude of certain in
structors whose greatest joy, ap-
parently, is to funk a student, and
to others whose dignity does not
seem to suffer in their own eyes by
an attempt to detect ''cribbing" by
gumshoe" methods. The blame,
however. can not be shifted to the
shoulders of these few members of
the faculty, who are held in no
higher respect by their colleagues
than by the students. Public opin-
ion is responsible, and the reform
must come from the student body.
