Car., Feb, 18.—In a scorching philippic the Occident, which bas for twenty-five years been the official organ of the student body at the State University, assailea the faculty to-day on the ground of its disinterestedness toward the student body and its long-distance policy as regards student affairsand stu- dent enterprises.

It is not known how the faculty will take this scoring, as the paper is just fresh from the press.

FIGHT-SEERS WILL COOME. Dan Stuart Writes Mr. Goodman That Many Will Buy Regular Tickets. The railway conductors of the National Association of Conductors, who have their headquarters here, were vet in session Wednesday at the Grand Hotel. Itis the annual meeting of the conductors, and at such times if there are any grievances they are formally presented, to be talked over and corrected, if possible. There ap- pear to be no grievances. This has been the situation, as understood, since their meeting. Delegates are here from Ogden, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Wadsworth, Port- land, this City and other points. Gen- eral Passenger Agent Goodman says that no communications from the conductors have been received at this time. He com- mended the association as a useful organi- zation. “Ihis is the occasion of the annual meeting,” he said. **As the association is National in charscter it has many thousands of members. It is 8 good thing, because it gives a certain protection, has a system of insurance and is calculated if a man gets out of a job to heip him to get another. In this way it is considerable advantage to the members.

The New Racetrack Paced at Their Disposal Free of Cost. Willing to Undertake the Respons bility Withou: Any Aid From the State. OAKLAND OrrICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Feb. 18. An informal meeting of the directors of the Board of Trade was heid to-day for the purpose of furthering the move- ment to transfer the annual State Fair from Bacramento to this city. Although the matter was only broached to the Legislature yesterday a great deal of quiet work has been done and instrac- tions were sent to the Alameda delegation to-day asking them to prepare and intro- duce the necessary bill as soon as possible, as sentiment in this city was a unit in fa- vor of the transfer. One of the strongest arguments put forth by Oakland is that if the fair be held bere itcan be made = financial success without the necessity of an appropriation from the State. Thomas H. Williams has already prom- ised, free of cost, the use of the Oaklana Trotting Park ana when this subject was mentioned to him he said that should the fair be held here his officials should receive orders to give all the assistance possible to the fair directors. “There is but one sentiment in this city,” said Secretary Sharp of the Board of Trade this morning, “and that is in favor of bringing the State Fair here. A necessity exists to make the fair what it was intended to be, an exhibition of products of this State for the purpo: encouraging competition and recognizing merit. “For many years the State Fair has been chicfly a nest of fakers with a little horse-racing on the side. We have proved how to run an exposition and make it pay, and the State Faur, if beld here, would be attended by many more people than go to Sacramento, and it would be run 5o as to help and foster the products of California. “Tne same methods that have been used in our annual exposition, and which bave proved a financial success, would, on a larger scale, also make a State affair successful. During the time of the fair the heat at Sacramento is unbearable, and many people are kept away on that ac- count. In Oakland it is very different and the temperature is all that could be desired.”’ President Witcher of the Merchants’ Exchange, President J. P. Taylor of the Board of Trads, G. W. Arper, Mayor Da- vie, George L. Fish, M. J. Keller and many other leading citizens have already added their indorsement to the scheme. An Army Demonstration.
