10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1897 MANY POOR BOYS MAY BE EDUCATED Sixty New Scholarships Created at the State University. Levi Strauss to Give $3500 a Year and the State as Much More. College of Commarce May Be an Im- portant Branch of the University. Qther Business. Levi Strauss of this City will give the University of California $3500 a vear to be used in scholarships for the maintenance llege of poor students. He made the esterday to the board of regents and ccepted with applause. offery it was It was submitted in conjunction with a plan for a legislative bill creating an nal fund of $3500 to maintain what shall be known as the State of California scholarships, providing aid to not more than twenty-eight especially deserving ents each year. These combned funds aside from all privately endowed scholarships, such as those recently created by Mrs. Phebe Hearst, -will maintain at Berkeley over fifty stddents in the undergraduate courses. The twenty-eight State of Cali- tornia scholarships are intended to be ved among the szven Congres- tricts of the State, to be filled by t worthy applicants from | apporti sional d the tour each district. In addition to these State of Califoraia scholarships and the Levi Strauss scholar- ships, all for undergraduate students, there are to be seven graduate scholar- ship: yielding to the holder $250 a vear. They will after their creators be T as follows, and will be filled by om each of the seven Congressional ea gistricts: Student’s graduate scholarship, an al- cn1 grad scholarship, a faculty | aduate hip and four regents Of more future significance perhaps than | these liberal provisions for poor students was a plan sabmitted by Regent Arthur | id have created in the University | ia a college of commerce, and | he has given the subject to nis feilow re- gents to think about. His idea, first sug- | ed over a dozen years ago in a com- mencement address he delivered at Berke- | ley, contemplates the establishment of a | schoo! r the scientific study of trade, of finance, of all manner of commercial re- lations between this country and otbers to which it exports goods or from which it [ plies. would mean that here at the | c seaport of America,and one | ommerce centers of the world, | greatest Pa of the grea would be trained the specialists in trade | relations that would be the business ad- | visers and experts for great mercantile houses. It would, Mr. Rogers t! naturally lead up to the establismen: of a | co! of diplomacy for the instruction of | uls to foreign ports, where to ful observer and vlanner of ald result in a great advantage o this country. There no such s Mr. Rogers say the University sees no reason why if there be colleges of culture arts there should not also in this State, with its manifold interests and resources and commercial advantages, be a college of commerce. ELevi Sirause’ offer of funds for annual scholarships was m. hool at present ex- , a small affair at Regent J. B. Reinstein—DEAR BIR: I have notad in the newspapers that while the Legis- lature was considering the bill to increase the 1 me of the Uni of California a sug- gestion was made to set apart $3500 per an- Zum to aid worthy and poor studenis from ional distric on at that u to be permitted 1o d of the Statein them e=ch of the Conxre 10 obtain an educa hould be pleas plicate the generos ter of said 1 Xindly to comn 10 the Honorable the Board of R Tsity. The University of California has already risen to aplane thatchaliengesthe admira- tion of the entire couniry, and 1 deem it a privilege to aid those connected therewith The proper officers are hereby authorized to draw on me each vear, until further notice, for the sum of $3500. 'l am, dea: very truly LEVI STEAUSS. A petition was submitted from the members of the senior class at Berkel asking for the surplus that will remain from their long deposited diploma fees after their graduaung certificates shall have been paid for. about $300, and the class of '97 wants it as a matter of principle, and especially be- cause the class is more heavily burdened by debts than any other lotof seniors that ever worried at Berkeley over the un- certainty of graduation and the expenses of a last yearin coilege. President Kel- Jogg was inclined to favor the plea on the ground that public sentiment demands absolutely free tuition in the university. Each student upon entering at Berketey deposits $10 to pay the cost of his diploma four years hence. Latterly, with classes of several hundred students, the amount and interest of the diploma fund has u of thisletter amonnted to a sum at graduation consid- | erabl, udging from the fact that at Stanford Tniversity each student at the time of his graduation is charged only §150 as the actual cost of his sheepskin. The whole matter was referred to the finance com- mittee, asits settlement would establish a precedent upon which succeeding cl would rely. Beginninz with July montkly salaries will be paid by the university not until the 10th of the month succeeding the ser- vice rendered, instead of on the 1st of the montbh, according to the present rule. Provision was made for the cation by the Lick Observatory of 1000 octavo volumes of a history of the earthquakes of the Pacific Coast. Upon the recommendation of the archi- tects and others connected with the con- struction of the Affiliated Colleges build- ings a bill of $3780 for construction was passed upon favorab! James Kennedy Moffitt, a graduate from Berkeley in the ciass of 1886, has given $100 for the purchase of books for the uni- Versity library, and purposes to give a like sum each year for a similar purpose. Regent Denicka reported an abnormal and unaccountable increasein theamount of water used in ‘and about the colliege buildings at Berkeley, and janitors and professors are to be cautioned not to per- mit water to run to waste. A report from theattorney of the board, Jobn B. Mhoon, gave the opinion that it would not be improper to pay a professor a salary during his absence from the uni- versity, for by so doing valuable so-calied non-resident professors might be obtained for short courses of insiruction. Regent Reinstein called the attention of the board to the necessity of providing some temporary buildings at Berkeley in anticipation of a large freshman class next fall that may be expected to overcrowd the present meager accommodations, He suggested at least one two-story frame building with twelve recitation-rooms. The subject was referred to the commitiee on grounds and_plans, which will report at the next meeting of the board, a month bence. It was reported that the bill now before of Pennsylvania, out he | and colleges of mechanical | de in the following | letter | gents of the | g sir, yours | It will amount to | greater than the cost of diplomas, | | the Legisiature to give to university mili- tary cacets the same privileges and im- munities accorded members of the National Guard has passed its second reading in the Senate. Regent John E. Budd, seconded by Re- gent Houghton, recommended the ap- pointment as military instructor at Berke- ley of Lieutenant Sydney Cloman, but it was decided to make a special investiga- tion of the recordsof all the candidat for the vacancy. Regent Budd also gave notice that at the next meeting of the { Board of Regents he will move to re- scind the choice of the board of San Fran- cisco as the site for the Wilmerding ScLool because no site has been cffered by this City. To this suggestion Judge Wallace took exception and declarea that he had voted for San Krancisto because the evidence of witnesses had proved that here the donor intended the school should be. A letter was immediately read from the Merchants’ Association asking fora con- ference with a committee from the Re- genis on the matter of naving a site of- fered for the Wilmerding School. It was decided to fix the salary of the secretary of ‘the Board of Regents at $225 a month, with the understanding that as in the case of the lale Secretary Bonte, Who finally received $275 & month, it be increased asa reward lor efficiency. The POOLROOMS MUST GO. The Supreme Court Sustains Judge Wal- lace and Establishes the Validity | of the New Ordinance. The proprietors of poolrooms seem to have met their Waterloo. Yesterday the Supreme Court refused to grant the release of John Glynn, under sentence of paying $100 fine or spendirg as many daysin jail for running a pool- room at Mission and Filtn streets. The case came up on the action of Judge Wal- lace in overruling an appeal made from a | judgment of Police Judge Campbell. [n order to bring the matter betore the Supreme Court Glynn’s attorney applied for a writ of habeas corpus. 1t was denied. Exit the attorney, who lost no time 1n_hastening to the City Hall and having his client’s fine paid. This action of the Supreme Court, being final, settles the mooted question as to the suthority of the Board ot Supervisors to pass police regulations.

Opinion seems to be about evenly di- vided as to the Z'egler-McFarland match in Jose. In this City Z egler is favored, and his record on_the National circuit, as compared with McFarland’s, is brought | forward to show that he outclasses his man, { It will be a hotly contested match and victory will mean much to the winner. Cnief Consul Kerrigan hascalied 8 meet- ing of the board of officers of the North California Division, League of American Wheelmen, for Saturday next, March 13, at 441 Golden Gate avenue, Tue differences between the Velodrome Compsany and the San Francisco Amuse- ment Company have been satisfactorily adjusted with reference to the proposed indoor meet, and the latter received its sanction from R. M. Welch of the racing board yesterday to conduct a three weeks meet at the Pavilion, from March 20 1o | April 10. Manager Shafer has wired ail tbe prominent racing men to come here for these races, and there will soon MARTY BERGEN ON TOP AGAIN He Gets Pecksniff Home Before a Big Field of Platers. The Win of the Hirse Was the Feature of the After- ncon’s Racing. Four Favorites F.nished First at Emeryville—Mainstay Downed Sallie Clicquot. When Jockey Marty Borgen finished first on his unlucky horse Pecksniff, the lukewarm choice forthe opening event at Emeryville track yesterday, he must have thought that afier all a forgetful public still retains in its heart a soft place for a once great rider whose luster has become dimmed by age. Marty was some years ago the idol of Guttenberg racegoers, and hislgrand work in the saddle made him the desired of all riders. With success also came wealth, and Marty could live in a sandstone front and smoke ‘“Africanas’’ without ever throwing a leg over a horse, but his love for the saddle clings to him as fly paperto a corner grocery store lounger’s trousers. To him a ride with the colors on is worth more than a French dinner to a tramp. Time after time Bergen has. landed Pecksniff inside the coin, but never, that 1s of late, first. Yesterday the son of imp. Mr. Pickwick was a 3to 1 choice over a fielc of grouse and when Marty cot his; horse in front below the furlong pole from home and finally landed him winner by fully five lengths, the ovation he received was second only to the one tenderea Pres- dent McKinley at his inauguration. For once the Napoleonic frown forsook his features and in his spasm of ecstatic joy Marty: the grave tossed his cap in the air 1n acknowledgment of the compliment. Tae day was pleasant and the attend- ance larger than on the opening day. The track, though, was very heavy and the veteran mudlarks were in demand. Four favorites managed to win at that and the books were again mulcted of a small portion of their bank rolls. The second race on the card was a four- furlong scramble for members of the two- year-oid division. Colonel Dan at first ovened an 8 to 5 choice, but later receded to jour, and Morano, a shapely daughter of Morello, was backed down from 2 to 1 to even money. Colonel Dan made the running into the streich, where he ured perceptibly as the wire was neared, and the first cAoice downed him easily by over three lengths in 53 seconds. The Colonel should about win next time out. The next event was a “‘dog’’ affair, ovér six furlongs, with Colonel Wheeler ruling a9 to 20 choice around post time. The Tolonel took the lead soon after the start, and looked to have the race up his sleeve, when Mrs. Shade came fasi and Jones was compelled to ride the favorite hard to win by a head. Roselle finished third. A mile purse affair, with the weights lowered 10 pounds below the scale, just fitted Aquinas with 85 pounds up. Barney Schreiber's gelding opened in the betting at 1to3and closed 1to4. He waited on Dunboy and Logan until well into the stretch, where Clawson gave him his baad and he won hands down. Dunboy looked to have the place secure at the paddock, when he tired badly and was led cut by the heavily played Logan. About the hottest one tossed up the board during the afternoon was St. Dis- taff, from Sam Hildreth’s stable, a three- year-ola colt by St. George. He was one of six starters in the fifth event at seven furlongs along with five other cheap platers. Opening up at 7 to 5, he was quickly hammered down lo 4 to 5 and evens. Adam Andrew, which opened up at 705, went back until the ring was yelling out 4 10 1. If it was surmised the colt was a dead one, he proved very much alive. Taking the lead alter three fur- longs had been traveled he won very cleverly by a couple of lengths in 1:353{ The ‘*‘good thing"” was beaten out halia length for the piace by Tulare, ridden by Jones, 5 As on the preceding day Green Morris furnished another warm favorite for the final race on the card, a six-furlong sprint, in Ballie Clicquot, which was extensively supported at the short price of 6 to 0. The wise ones fancied Mainstay with 101 pounds up, and he carried a deal of coin on his chances, the layers of odds giving as good as 5 to 1 against the big chestnul. To Peixotto can perhaps bz attributed the downfall of the favorite. The pair raced at & merry clip to the siretch, where Pig- gottsent Mainstay along and, soon taking the lead, passed the judges a couple of lengths clear of the Morris entry. Thorpe got up with Senator Grady nearing the wire, and secured the short end of the purse. ENTRIES, Following are to-day’s entrles: First race, eleven-sixteenths of a mile, selling. 610 Maj.

As the Estate Is Worth About Half a Mi'lion, a Will Coatest Is Probable. The will of the late Asa Fisk has been filed for probate and it is something of a curiosity, as was to be expected. The original will comprises twenty-five pages of closely written matter, and there are two codicils of four pages each. Throughout the document is manifested the naturdl solicitude of the testator for the ultimate conservation of his dollars, to the accumulation of which he devoted so mary anxious years. Inthe first draft of the will Fisk de- manded that the executorsshould give bonds in the sum of$10,000 for the faithiul discharge of their duties, but a subsequent codicil provides for the abrogation of this condition, and asks that they be allowed to serve without bonds. That part of the property belonging to the deceased which is situated in the State of Massachusetts is estimated to bs worth about $50.000, and $15,000 of this is to he distributed among the three children by his first wife. The residuary legatees are Mrs. Lydia Fisk, widow of the decedent, and their childrer, Arthur G. Fisk and Mrs. Fiora E. Wertheimer (nee Fisk), share and share alike. Mrs, Fisk and Ar- thur G. Fisk are named as executors, without bonds, but they are compelled to deposit the funds of the estatein bank whenever they have more than $20 on hand. Minute instructions are given for the management of the different properties, from the painting of houses and fences in Boston to the paying of premiums on life- insurance policies in San Francisco. A touch of comedy is here insertea, when the testator provides that said premiums shall be paid from rents received from real estate in Massachusetis; ard if that1s not sufficient, then the executors may borrow money to pay the same “at a reasonable rate of interest,” which he suggests ought not to exceed 5 or 6 per cent a year. The laugh will come in when those who used 10 pay him 5 per cent a month read this interpretation of his opinion in regard to a reasonable rate of interest. Fisk saw so much sorrow caused by hy pothecating claims and expectancies in the way of monetary transactions that he gave strict orders against his children do- ing anything of the kind. A great many stories were in circulation yesterday about people b:ing disappointed because ihey were not remembered in the will. It was reported that one old lady in particular was promised pay for frequent kindnesses in this way, but her name was notin the list of beneficiaries. In fact there is no mention of any person outside of Fisk’s immediate famiiy. A characteristic provision is inserted when the derd man requires that his son shall puy back to his estate, or give a bond for the payment of $1500, before he gets any part of his legacy. This amount of $1500, it is explained, was advanced to the son 1n days of his adversity, which must be paid to the executors of the estate ‘‘to- gether with a small rate of interest thereon.” It1s evident that Fisk was not willing to trust the usual provisions of the law for the safeguarding of nhis precious coin, for he inserted the tollowing: 1 hereby direct that ell money coliected by my executors or either of them shall be held in'deposit, and when the sum coliected shall exceed $20 {tshall be immediately deposited in the Crocker-Woolworth Bank, and that all claims againss my estate before being paid shall be approved in writing by both of my exceutors and allowed by the Probate Couri, and that all money drawn out of the bank for any purpose must be on the joint signatures of my executors; and 1 further direct that a correct account in writing of all receipts and disbursements, showing to whom all moness were paid, the date of paymeut and for what paid, shail be kept by my executorsjuntil the final'settlement and distribution of my estate. Lyman B. Fisk, who, with pardonable pride, is mentioned as “‘my nephew, now or formerly connected with ‘Harvard Uni- versity in Cambridge,” is constituted ex- ecutor of tne will in regard to the prop- erty in Massachusetts. The beneficiaries under the will are as foliows: Asa W. Kisk, Denver; Thomas H. Fisk, Alameda; Mrs, Pamela M. Hollis (nee’ Fisk), Newton, Mass., $5000 each. The residuary legateesare Mrs. Lydia B, Fisk, Arthur G. ‘Fisk and Mrs, Fiora E. Wertheimer, all of San Francisco. The will was executed on the 14th of November, 1895, and the codicils were made on the 23d and 25th of last January. The petition for the probate is signed by Attorneys M. M. Estee and A. Z Fisk, the latter being the son of tue testator and executor of the will. The petition states that the estate is of the probable value of $250,000, but those competent to judge be- lieve that it will come nearer $500,000. There is a provisior in the will that any one named as a legatee who shall offer to contest the will shall be cut off with only $5, and that the monsy otherwise devised as'a legacy to such person shall be divided among the other heirs. Notwithstanding this interdiction it is believed that there will be a contest un the part of the chil- dren of the first marriage who are allowed 50 slim a portion of the estate. Even be- fore the presentation of the will legal notices of appearance on behalf of the children of the first marriage were in the hands of lawyers in this City and were filed by Attorney Joseph McKinley with County Clerk Curry immediately afier the will had been recorded. The first steps in the matter of probat- ing the instrument will ve taken in Judge Coffey’s court on the 2z3d inst. THIRD STREET NOW. The Merchants Will Celebrate Their Victory This Evening. The execufive committee of the Third- street Improvement Club—B. Katchinski, B. Jacobs, C. Attell, J. Lemlie, R. B. Cole, A. Backer and J. 8.

Durrant had a delightful and romantic little chat at his cell wicket yesterday aft- ernoon with Captain Fraser, who brought Batler hither on the Swanhilda, and with Captain Petrie, who had an experience with Butier when he was Richard Ashe on the ship Olivebank. The iwo curious sea captains seemed thus to establish an appropriate though distant connection between two of the most famous shedders of human blood that the age has produced. Durrant did not do the proper thing when he was suddenly and unexpzctedly introduced to Captain Fraser of the Swan- hilda. He should at least have paled visibly or grown sullen at thus fronting the wild story of Batler’s crime, but bhe didn’t. He was pleasant as you please and seemed to enjoy the visit that was prompted by the antipodean crimes of another arch-murderer. Captain Fraser and Captain Petrie knew wel!, of course, the story of Durrant, though they cained it thousands of miles away, and the deep interest they had acquired in Butler through their personal relations with him aroused a correspond- ing interest in seeing Durrant. Their friend John McCarthy, the wuolesale cof- merchant, arranged to satisfy their curiosity and piloted them to the jail, where they were courteously shown to Durrant’s cell. “I would have known you by your picture in the papers,” said Durrant, with aready and seif-possessed smile, and’ the gentlemanly Captain Fraser told Durrant that he looked just as be did in the pavers. T :is brought up the fruitful topic of the press and its liberties, and tkis was the main topic of conversation with Captain Fraser that ensuea, though there was nothing further that was complimentary said. Durrant naturally has strong con- victions about newspapers, and he ex- pressed them. The visitors did not introduce the sub- ject of Butler except in a very incidental way and Durrant. did not intrudeit. The sea captains who haa studied Butler well studied Durrant’s lineaments and didn’t find anything fiendish there. The brief commonplace conversation was followed by a cordial *‘good-day.” Captain Fraser will sail in about three weeks, and when he and Captain Petrie strike Australia again they will tell of their visit to Durrant and thereby become much more interesting than mariners who never knew but one great murderer. But Butler is notning to Theodore Darrant, for a man who would kill for a few bank notes is perhaps as strange a creature to him as to others, and Butler is not curious about Theodore, as far as anybody knows. ————— Crusade for Pure Food. A conference took place at the rooms of the Board of Health yesterday afternoon, which was attended by Dr. Morse, Dr. Washington Dodge and Chief Inspector Dockery in refer- ence to the inspection of food for public insti- tutions.

He was taken to the City and County Hospital, where the wound wasstitched and dressed. NEW TO-DAY. ARGONAUT 0K WHISKEY Is Five Years In Wood Before Bottling. E, MARTI &% CO., 411 Market 8t.
