10 ARCHITECTS [N SUSPENSE Supervisors Still Deadlocked Re- garding the Municipal Building. SHEA & SHEA HAVE SIX VOTES. Hog Ranches May Be Given Three Months to Move to Other Localities. Shea & Shea 6, Banks 5, Mooser & Mooser 1 was the result announced by Clerk Rus- seil of the Board of Supervisors when a vote wus taken yesterday at the close of the meeting of the board to decide which of the competing arckitects is to receive the contract for supervising the erection of the new municipal building. The ballot showed that the feelings of the members had not changed since the last meeting, and another ballot was called for. Again Shea & Shea were short one vote to get the plan, and after motions to postpone the matter for three and six months had been lost, in the former in- stance by a narrow margin, the matter went over until next Monday’s meeting. The Supervisors voted as follows: For Shea & Shes — King, Scully, Hirsch, Dimond, Taylor and Hobbs. For Banks — Benjamin Morgenstern and Spreckels. For Mooser & Mooser—Wagner. The matter of extending the ho nch limits beyond the Exceisior and Bay View homesteads was lnid over for a week by the board after the members had shown an inclination to grant the request of the Board of Health in the matter, and at the same tive gave the hog-ranchers time to remove their objectionable animals to other localities. The report of the committee appointed at the last meeting to investigate the mat- ter which recommended that action be de- layed for six months was received, and then a motion was made to extend the limits, with a proviso that the regulation should not go into effect for ninety days. Health Officer Lovelace and Dr. William- son of the Board of Health were present, and both declared the ranches in the Bay View district to be a nuisance’and a menace to the public health. ] mem- vers of the board who favor giving the ranchers six months to vacate their places succeeded in having the matter deferred for a week. it is probable that, unless some action is taken by the board at its next megting, the health authorities will declare the Bay View ranches a nuisance and condemn them. A resolution requesting the California Senators and representatives in Congress to advocate the passage.of a bill for the recognition of the Trans-Mississippi and International Congress to be beld in Omaha, and for a liberal appropriation for a Government building and exhibit was adopted. The resolution was adopted, making it necessary in future for all applicants for free licenses to appear before the License Committee and be examined as to their financial condition and ability to pay fora license. A resolution was passed calling the at- tention of the Superintendent of Streets to the provision of the general orders pro- bibiting obstructions to streets, and re- questing him to immediately enforee it by causing the removal from the streets and dewalks obstructions of any description unless the same is maintained by permis- sion of the board. The ?osiuon of operator of the fire alarm and police_telegraph, held by F. E. Has- kell, was declared vacant, and Joseph H. Blakely appointed to the place. The order prohibiting open poker games was referred back to the Judiciary Com- mittee to have it remodeled to conform with the views of the District Attorney, who recently rendered an opinion that the measure as originally framed is unconsti- tutional. A resolution was passed indorsing the memorials which have been presented to Congress by the San Francisco committee on commerce asking for an appropriation for harbor improvements. The matters desired are the removal of dangerous rocks in the bay, a steam fog vessel for the en- trance to the harbor, a cable to the south- east Farallon island, a house for the telegraph operator at Point Reyes, ex- haustive observations of the currents of the bay, a fog-signal station on the north- east Farallon island, fairway marks on the south shore of the Golden Gate.

J. Dunn. Charles Gerkin Had No Murderous Intent in Causing the Death of John Buckley. Daniel J. Dunn, one of the striking lathers who are charged with assaulting Charles A. Marrs, who died on March 19, was yesterday held responsible, along with others unknown, with striking the fatal blows. A large number of witnesses were examined before the Coroner’s jury. Dr. Cachot testified that when called in to attend Marrs, shortly after the assault upon him, he found him uncounscious. Thirty-six hours later Marrs recovered consciousness and told the physician that he had been sattacked by strikers. The deceased was then suffering from paraly- sis. There was a bruise on the nose; otherwise there were no injuries. Great excitement, in the opinion of the witness, might have caused death. C. F. Marrs, son of the deceased con- tractor, identitied Daniel J. Dunn as the man who assaulted his father while they were at work in a house at Fourth and ‘Welsh streets on March 10. He said that a number of strikers came into the build- ing and called to him and his father to come down from the scaffolding where they were working at the time. They did 80, and later were attacked by the men. When the witness went to the assistance of his father he was struck down. The deceased complained of pains in his head after the assault. He was unable to speak for three days, and died on March 19. Thomas Marrs, another son of the d ceased, also identitied Dunn as the assail- ant of his father. Mrs. Marrs. widow of the deceased, testi- fied that her husband had a large lump on the back of his head as the result of the beating which he told her he bad received at the bhands of the strikers. Dunn, McCoy and Haley were mentioned by the deceased as among his assailants. = She also stated that the physician did not ex- amine the beck of her husband’s head for several days, and by that time the Jump had passed away. Officer Geimann testified that the de- ceased had identified Dunn, who was brought to his bedside on March 16, as the man who assaulted him. James Holmes and William Pattee did not assault him. Dr. J. 8. Barrett, the autopsy physician, said that death had been caused by a hemorrhage of the brain. The condition of the arteries, however, were such that apoplexy might be caused under excite- went. In the case of John Buckley, who was knocked down by Charles Gerkin, and who died on March 19, the Coroner’s jury returned a verdict to the effect that death was the result of injuries received by the deceased falling on the pavement, and that the fall was caused by a blow struck by Gerkin without murderous intent. AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY. Display of Prints by the ~ California Caniera Club. An Institution That Has Gained Great Renown for Enter- prise. The annusi print exhibition of the Cali- fornia Camera Club opened last evening at the rooms of the club in the Academy of Sciences building. Officers of the society arrayed in evening dress welcomed the guests, of whom many were ladies. An orchestra stationed in a recess rendered agreeable music, and refreshments were added to the attractions. Among the exhibitors at the present dis- play are H. B. Hosmer, W. E. Goodrum, A. G. McFdrland, E. G. Zeile, W. J. Street, R. G. Mudge, Miss Marta Philip, Miss F. Green, Mrs. A. G. MeFarland, C. F. Mead, E. G. Eisen, H.T. Henning and twenty- five others. Professor B. D.

Celebration of the Twenty-Eighth Birthday of the University of California. HORATIO STEBBINS' PICTURE. Freshmen - Beat .the Sophomores in a Hard-Fought Rush—Cornell to Meet Berkeley. BERKELEY, Carn., March 23.—The State University’s twenty-eighth birthday was celebrated to-day by the rendering of an interesting programme of exercises in the Harmon Gymnasium. President Kel- logg presided and the Rev. E. Lyman Wood, president of the graduate club, acted as chaplain. The first speaker was Miss Millicent W, Shinn, U. C.’80, whose subject was ‘‘An Empirical Sugeestion.” Miss Shinp deait with various methods of education - that arein vogue and with their respective claims to superiority. She called atten- Wallace, Slack, Rodgers, Houghton, Mayne, Hallidie ard Hellman and essrs. H. J. Crocker and J. D.

Presi- dent Kellogg responded to the address of gmonulion. aceepting the portrait in be- alf of the university, and paying a high tribute to Dr. Stebbins, who was one of the first regents-of the university. In the afternoon an old-fashioned hop took place in the gymnasium, but on ac- count of the extreme heat of the day the crowd was not large. Sophomores Vanquished. BERKELEY, Car., March 23.—About seventy-five Berkeley students from the freshman and sophomore classes had a rush this morning on the hill back of the library, which resulted in a victory for the freshmen. The first signs of the combat made themselves manifest at about 4 o'clock this morning, when twenty fresh- men appeared on tne hill with an abun- dant supply of whitewash for the purpose of leaving their “99"” on the mountain side. Some sophs heard of this, and in a few minutes the news was heralded through the neighborhood, and long before day- break a number equal to that of the freshies were on th: scene, and a fierce battle, lasting for four hours, ensued. Reinforcements came to the assistance of both classes, and by 8 o’clock at least seventy-five men were at the scene of the struggle. Pairs of first and second-year men scattered here and there over an area of several acres indulging in friendly combat. At last the sophomores were = N N ) 7 7 i / ‘wf’v"/”///////,/{//tfa’,? b /,/f’;‘/;/f f’;{;}:::vn“/fl;x;; ‘Izm,”‘::.’“ fifii I i nd SRR e N 0jl Painting of Rev.

Miss Shinn was followed by William Nathaniel Friend 96, the president of the student body. In Mr. Friend's address, which was on “The Significance of Recent ; Events,” the student body of Berkeley was | likened to a miniature political state. The | speaker traced the life of the college state from its organization twenty-eight years ago to the present, telling ih brief of the| early rise of an “‘aristocracy,”’ the control of the government, its division into | quarreling factions and fraternities and of its final overthrow by the *‘plebeians.” | ““The two varties still exist at Berkeley,” | said Mr. Friend, ‘“‘but they have united | against the common enemy. The cure for | a nation divided against itself is the ap- earance of a common foe.”” Thus Stan- ord's advent was declared to have unified the factions of Berkeley, making possible such harmonious student enterprises as the Eastern aghletic tour of last spring, which was supported by all students, and such exbibitions of united college spirit as was the action of the students in forming themselves into a pick and shovel brigaue for the beautification of the grounds of their alma mater. After a song by the Glee Club Louis de Fonteney Bartlett of the Hastings Law College spoke on ‘‘American Law Col- leges.” Mr. Bartlett told of the great in- crease in the number of law colleges that has recently taken place, there being but few such colieges in the country fifty years ago. He outlined a number of methods of instruction in law and advo- cated a more strict examination of aspir- ants for admission to the bar. Professor J. M. Stillman of Stanford University, a graduate -of the University of California, delivered an address on “'Some R msibilities of the Modern University,”” Professor Stillman said that there is at present no general agreement amonilhe great universities of the world as to the best system of higher education. “The reasons for this lie near the sur- face,” said he. ‘* The machinery of civil- ization has become so complex that the need of educated men and women has become more manifest. The sum of use- ful ana important knowledge and the de- mands npon the university system become more and more exacting. The mass of subjects in every department of thought is becoming rapidly greater, and the diffi- culty of mustering it is correspondingly ‘increased.” He declared that money spent in the ed- ueation of capable political economists, capable engineers, so that costly errorsin | such fields of labor might be avoided, re- | turned to the State several times over in actual cash. ‘The last speaker was Professor Thomas R. Bacor of the department of history in the University of California. Professor Bacon’s subject was “Our Foreign Policy and the World’s Peace.’” The professor said he would assume that peace is a good thing, though like the axioms of mathe- matics the proposition could be disputed by those disposed to argue 1t. He referred to recent speeches in the United States Senate as “frantic voices” for war and said | that certain Senators “‘demand war at any price—not war with any one in particular, but war for its own sake. If not with Eng- land, war with Spain, and if not with the latter with some nation that could be fought with even more safely than might Spain.” f Professor Bacon said he had high respect establish international courts of arbitra- tion, but that he had no_ respect for their judgment. War, he declared, would always be a part of history as Jong as bu- man nature remains as itis. The profes- sor advocated closer diplomatic relations between England and the United States. At the conclusion of the speeches came the formal presentation to the university of the portrait of Dr. Horatio Stebbins, which has for some time been in the uni- versity llbl'rl'?. The speech of presenta. tion, prepared by the principal donor, Join Perry Jr. of San Francisco, was read Professor William Carey Jones. The other donoras were: Regents Crocker, Bartlett,be held vanguished and the victorious 'freshmen were permitted to plant their class num- ber on the hill in fuill view of the charter- day visitors at the university. This was the first victorv which the freshmen have scored over the sophomores since their en- trance to college, and in consequence supreme delight reigns among them. In their rush against the sophomores last fall they were badly defeated, and tbe loss of that struggle registered the first defeat of a freshman class by the sophomores since 1884, Cornell Wants a Meet. BERKELEY, Car., March 23.—Another Eastern college wants to meet the Uni- versity of California team_should they make a transcontinental trip again this summier. Cornell has fallen into line, and her athletes desire to try conclusions against the Berkeley cracks. To-day Cap- tain Merwin received the following letter from Charles F. Hamilton, manager of the Cornell team, asking what dates are open and what he thought of a meet between the two institutions: ItHACA, N. Y., March 17, 1896. Manager of University of California Track Team—DEAR SIR: Hearing that it Is quite prob- able that you will have an athletic team in the East during the commfi spring, I write to ask if it would be possible for Cornell to arrange track games with you. Should this idea strike you fav 1y, kindly let me know what dates you have vacant, and also your views as to an agreement. Looking for an early reply. Iam, yours truly, CHARLES F. HAMILTON, Manager Cornell Track Team. 25 Quarry street. This makes the fourth encouraging com- munication received from the. Eastern and Middle West colleges within the last ten days, and Captain Merwin says thatif a few more like them are forthcoming, to- gether with assurances of good gate re- ceipts, the trip will be a possibility, if not an extreme probability. 2 *‘We are certain,” said Mr. Friend, the prospective manager, to-day, ‘‘that we can arrange for all the contests we are able to enter while on the tour, but what we want is cash as well as cordial receptions, gond tracks and appreciative audiences. We must bave the wherewithal -to make the trip, and not get into debt. The students and friends of the university lent the team of last year their heartiest financial sup- port, and it was through them that we were able to send the team across the con- nent, but this year we do not want to call 02 them if it is possible to do otherwise. Captain_ Merwin has sent letters to Eastern institutions other than those already mentioned as having been favora- bly disposed toward arranging for corrtests, and is daily awaiting replies. He has written to Yale and to Princeton since re- ceiving dispatches from them regarding meets, and expects answers within a few Suicide of J. B. Ashworth. BERKELEY, CaL, March 23. — A pitiable case of suicide was reported to the branch morgue at 3 o’clo¢k this aft- ternoon. Joseph B. Ashworth, a butcher, residing at 715 Bristol street, corner of Fourth; took carbolic acid at about 2 o’clock, and within half an hour he was dead, leaving a widow and five children, the eldest of which is 5 years and the youngest 1 month. The family is leftin a destitute condition. v Ashworth came home at about 1:30 and asked his wife for some carbolic acid to apply to a corn. She gave it to him, and going into his room shortly after- ward he swallowed the contents of the Dbottle. He called to his wife to come and kiss him good-bye. She went to his side and found that he had taken poison, She gave him vaseline and mel lard, but it was of no avail.. Dr. Payne was called for, but arrived too late to be of any service. The cause of Ashworth’s rash act is at- tributed to despondency over financial af- fairs. He is reported to have defaulted fo the amount or $700 from his late em- ployer, Storck of West Berkeley. Rumors have been about that deteciives were on Ashworth’s track and that he put_himself out of the way in ordsao avoid further. trouble. He was a tive of Trinity County, aged 37 years, and bad lived in Berkeley tor three years. An inquest will to-morrow evening. VACATION FOR MR, MARTIN Some Changes Tadlked About in the Art Associa tion, BOSQUI IS NOT ADMIRED. Candidates on the Regular Ticket Who Favor New Methods of Management. The annual election of directors of the San Francisco Art Association, which takes place March 31, may not call out a large vote, as there 1s only one ticket mn the field. The only candidate mentioned for the presidency is Horace G. Platt, and the present indications are that he will be chosen without opposition. Mr. Platt denies, with a good deal of animation, the statement made by some other members of the association, and published in THE CALL, that Mr. Searles desires his election. The information comes from a source deemed authentic that the new board of directors will cause many changes to be made in the method of conducting the in- stitution on the hill. One report is to the effect that Mr. Martin, the secretary, will receive a pension or a long vacation. There is talk, also, of readjusting the class of teachers, and placing cne of the class in a vposition to direct the course of instruction. One of the candidates on the regular ticket, in discussing the subject, said: “The directors on the regular ticket, if elected, will bring about some reforms in the management of the Art Association. Six of the eleven men on the ticket are in favor of a readjustment of affairs. They desire to infuse mere life into the institu- tion.” When asked to indicate by pencil marks on the ticket the men who would stand in for a new order of things, the candidate indicated James D. Phelan, L. P. Latimer, Horace G. Platt, Henry J. Crocker, Henry Heyman and William G. Stafford. “I expect,” said the candidate, ‘‘that the opposition of Edward Bosqui will be encountered. He has been on the board so long, and is so thoronghly identified with the existing management, that he will insist on adhering to plans adopted by himself and Mr. Martin. *It is one of his pet schemes to have the board meetings take place in the afternoon, as he lives in Marin County and cannot be in San Francisco in the evening. To gratify bis convenience business men must sur- render business hours to attend to asso- ciation affairs. The result hitherto has been slight attendance at board meetings, and Bosqui and Martin have had every- thing their own way. This will be changed after the election.” *Do you fancy that the men indicated will stand up to the rack 2"’ was asked. “I do, indeed,” replied the candidate. “I have talked with Horace Platt, and he is in favor of readjustment.” The candidate, being asked his prefer- ence for president to succeed Mr, Phelan, said: “Iam in favor of Platt. Horace is capable and energetic, besides he has social ambitions. He would make a good president.” OCEAN VIEW COURSING. Magpie Won Sunday’s Stake From Clever Maud G—Short Ends Get the Money.

How Victoria Has Retained Her Won- derful Health and Strength. “Have you ever heard of Queen Victoria’s secret?” It was & well-known New York physician who recently asked the foregoing question in the course of a conversation at his club. None of the company had ever heard about it, and they pressed him for an explanation. He 'then related the following remarkable story: “It is & well-knawn fact,” he said ‘‘thatthe Queen of Great Britain is one of the most won- derful old ladies in existence. Although she is nearly 80 years of age, she is to-dayas bright and active as many a woman of 40. And why do you suppose it is? I will tell you, for I ob- tained the information from reliable sources. Itis because her Majesty never allows & day o a8 by without taking & little pure malt whis- ey. She takes this strengthening stimulant by the advice of her physiciaus, among whom are some of the greatest medical wen in the world. That is wny the Queen is so full of life and energy in spite of her adyanced years. This is an interesting story, and it clearly proves that scientific men are correct in telling us that nothing compares with & pure malt stimulant for building up health. Unfortu- nately suchastimulant is by no means common or more people would reap the benefitof taking such a preparation. In fact there is only one pure medicinal whiskey in existence which is entirely free from injurious adulteration. Itis known as Duffy’s pure malt whiskey, and thou- sands of men and wemen have testified o the wonderful benefit receivedifrom taking it.\_ Nothing has ever equaled it for stirnng upthe blood, promoting digestion and invigorating the body. For ihis reason no inierior imita- tions should be accepted from grocers or drug- gists who attempt to substitute something Which they claim is “‘just as good” as Duffy’s. PHlLA[lELPHIA SHOE (.
