Upward of 2000 people, a large propor- tion of them students and members of the faculty, were gathered around South Hall watching the blaze, which at that time reached high into the air. The regular firemen hastily got their hose ready for work, aided by the col- legians. It was necessary to go about 800 feet for water, and the placing of ‘hose consumed much time. ne fire-fighters directed their water at loss variously esti- | sSand Denicke, and the | had a wheeibarrow, | Lien- | erent parts of the building, and soon | By 3 o'clock the interior of the building was almost burned out, and the flames were under cou!rol, leaving a portion of the walls and three big chimneys stana- ing. As a result of the efforts of the fire- fighters the stables were unharmed, and some property in the basement of the building was saved. ; The destroyed building contained the | | derartments of agricalture, entomology and viticuliure, The loss 1o these depart- | ments by the destruction of records and material is incalculabie. Professor Hil- | gard lost a collectior. of extremely valu- | able plants, the resalt of forty years’ work. | | “Vers many of the speciméns were of ereat value,” said Professor Hilgard, after | the ire, “‘and = large proportion of them it will be impossible to revlace. The finan- | cial loss is probably $15,000, a large part of | it being in ‘the property destroyed in the basement. A wine celiar had been con- | | structed at great expense, and it con- | tained 8 large quantity of wines that were | of high value for scientific purposes. Mostof our 18u7 reports are lost, and | _depariment reports and docu- | ments since 1887, except a few copies that | | are on file in the university library."” | | _ The destruction of these documents is a | | most serious blow to the work of Professor | Hilgard’s department, which mainly con- | { ail sisted in compiling and securing exhaus- | tive statistics of agricultural work and ex- | periment. The department i3 a National | | agricultural station and is one of the most | important in the country. It kept valu- | abie records affecting all paris of the Pacific Coast, and the protessors and in- structors in charge are constantly at work | upon the business of collecting data and conducting experiments for the benefit of agriculturists. Though the number of students is not large, the department is one of the busiest at Berkeley. | In the interruption of all this work, and | |in the destruction of results ana speci- | | mens gathered during forty years of labor, | the Joss is far ahead of the financial esti | mates of the worth of the property that | was burned. T'he building was erected in | | 1887, and was reconstructed last year. It | was a wooden structure, and not of par- ticular value in itself. Itis thoaght that much more might have been saved had there been proper provisions for fighting the fire. There | were no axes to be ‘ound nearer than South Hall, no hose was at hand and no water was near. The disaster will be used | as an ar-ument for the establishment of | an eflicient fire department in connection | with the university. The heavy destruc- | tion is a cowplete loss, owing 1o the law removing all insurance from State build- ings. Other most unfortunate results may transpire from the disaster. It is said that the otner departments may now be as short of money us they ever have been, as a good sum will be needed to provide new quarters for the departments now without a_building. The origin of the fire is generaliy | thought to have been a gasjet left burning in the bacteriological laboratory. The accepted theory is that the flame was near the wall, and, as the entire room was very dry and 'warm from the use of the *‘dryer” employed, a conflagration was easily started. The building was occupied by the office and classrcoms of Professor E. W. Hil- gard, head of the agricultural depart- ment; Professor E.J. Wickson, Assistant | Professor R. H. Loughridge, Zrofessor C. W. Woodworth, head of the eatomolosi- cal department, Instructor M. Jnffa, George E. Colby, and F. J. Bioletti. Pro- fessor Wickson had just left to take the 1 o'clock train to San Francisco, and Pro- fessor Hilyard was at Junch in his resi- dence when the flames broke out. A Popular Eesort.

The rest of them came prepared with all sorts of pleas and pravers to be allowed to go their several ways. Throats swathed in flannels were liberally in evidence; limbs were in splints, and the chorus of rasping and hollow coughs that continually echoed through tne room was enough to convince avery- body except a judge who had had previous experience with talesmen t all the True, many of the 1ales of woe poured into his Honor’s ear yesterday had merit, and those who told them were excused, but others were palpably conjured up for the occasion and invariably were unsuccessful in their purpose. Judge Slack heid court in the roomy chamber of the Board of Bupervisors in order to be away from the noise of the roofers who are at work just over his own courtroom, Nearly all of _the legal lights the Fair millions were on hand and watched the pruning of the panel with keen interest. Every one of them reulizes how important is the personnel of the jury that is to be selected. la; ge crowd of spectators in attendance. After the clerks had checkea off the namesof the thirty-five who had signified their willingness to submit themselves to the lawyers’ test and to do their duty as good citizens, Judge Slack instrucied those | Who were seeking to escape the panel to | form into lLine, and in their turn, offer their excuses. The court deplored the growing tendency of citizens to dodge jury duty, and announced that he would allow none to go except those who could con- | vince him that they were not qualified to | act, or that their service woulu result in | distress or hardship. Then the talesmen | were all aworn to speak nothing but the trath. and the hard luck stories began. C. W. Taber was the first to teil Lis troubles. It would be impossible for him to serve, he ‘said, because he had & most important business apnointment tto keep onthe 1st of June. Judge Slack shook his head. and said that was not strong enough. Besides, the trial would prob- ably be finisted by the 1st of June, 8o he fold Mr. Taber he would have to remain on the panel. An audible snicker ran through the court as the disappointed talesman dronped out of the line mumbling about his luck. J. A. Schultz evidently considered that nhe had a wnap. His hearing was so defec- tive, he declared, that he would certainly be found to be rather a nuisance during the trial than a useful juror. Judge Black, lowering his voice to a whisper, told the gentleman that he would be ever §o pleased if he would serve. "I appreciate the compliment, Judge, but, you see, I can’t hear good enough. said Mr. Schults. A quiet smile illuminated his Honor's c nance. If the talesman coula hear a whisper he guessed he could also hear the evidence, so Mr. Schuitz would have to serve. E. H. Benker and W. J. Goshen stepped forth together, and said they had business of such tremendous importance on their hands that it would be disastrous for them 10 be imprisoped on a jury. But the court thought that the Fair litigation was of im- their walking papers. Gas consumers achieved a trinmph when Judge Slack held Alfred Coddy on the panel. Mr. Coddy examines meters and | makes out those awful gas bills, but he | stands a good chance now of being com- | pelled to ense up in his work for a time. ! “I'm troubled with chronic bronchitis, your Honor,” pleaded Peter Fay when nis | turn came. T don’t think I can accept that as an excuse,’’ replied Judge Slack. I have heart trouble, too.” “The triai will not be_such as might make you any worse. You look quite well to-day.”’ ~I am soffering from general debility also,” was Fay’'s next. “No, I can’t spare yon,” stubbornly said the court. Mr. Fay seratched his bhead in the hope of remembering some other wasting iil to which he was heir. Suddenly his face lighted up and he announced that he was already serving asa juror in Judge Col- fey’s court. 2 *'Oh, 1if that’s so, yon can be excused,” said the Judge, so Mr. Fay went his way rejoicing. ames 8. Ford said bis plumbing busi- ness would go to rack and ruin if he was not excused, but the court could not see it that way. Daniel Block, a cutter in the tailoring depariment oi the Emporium, had the distinction of being the first to melt his Honor’s heart and escape service. And after nim alot of them were successiul. Mr. Block's excuse was that he was work- ing for wages and might lose his employ- ment were he to be ield on the panel, Herman Pollock said he was a soap-seller, and if he neglected his caily route wounid lose his_trade. He got off, too. So did George Kammerer, whose partner was laid up sick, leaving the entire care of their business on his hands. A. E. Nye had just got a job, and his fear of losing it rompted the court to let him go. Horace ando head sickness in his family and was excused, while Sam Sachs escaped by ex- hibiting a certificate showing that e had already seen jury service this season. Samuel Allesky tried the pressure-of- business dodge, but it woala not. work. Jonas Erlanger was more successfal. If he should be sworn in as a juror there would be only an_office-boy leit to look after his commission busines:. William Hand isa clerk for Goldbers, Bowen & Co. and stood in danger of I his posi- tion, 0 he was excused. William Mund got off because he would have to close up bis watch-repairing shop while in court, and Thomaus F. Boyle escaped on & simil. excuse. S gmund Shoenberg, who sells linings at 209 Post street, told a story like Mund’s, but made the mistake of admit. ting that he had two employes at his place who might possibly keep the busi- ness going. He was told to stay on the panel. Wiiliam John’s plea was that he J had too much property to look after, but who are connected with the litigation over | Thers was also a | portance, too, and refused to give tnem | itdid not impress the court as he had | hoped. Samuel Burr_got off with the aid | of a physician’s certificaie that he was ill. Cyrus L. Gates used his hand for & soundiog-board over his left ear when he approached the bench, and said he could scarcely hear a cannon when it roared. But_unfortunately for him he heard all of the Judce's questions, even though they were whispered, and he was promised a front seat in the jury-box should the law- yers accept him. And %01t went on for a fuil hour. When Judge Slack had finally gone through the line it was found that the list of talesmen who were qualified 1o serve had increased from thirty-five 10 sixty-five. They were | all notified to be in court Monday mora- | ing, when, unless something goes wrong, the work of impaneling the jury will be- gin. The list of accepted talesmen is as follows: Harry B.

FILLING THE SWAMP, A General Line of Improvement Is Being Pushed Through the Precita Valley. The Precita Valley laprovemeht Club, which met at Grabam’s Hell, on Alabama streei, last night, showed by the enthusiasm of the members present that their section of the City witl be brought prominently to the notice of the governing bodies of the munici- pality in the next year's tax appropriation for | improvements. The following recommendations were in- | dorsed by the club: Sidewslk on Army street, | from Mission to Alabama (where not already | 1a1d); on Army street, from Sun Bruno roed to De Haro; etectric lights to be placed on Rut- lidge and Alabama, on Ripley and Alabama, on Norwich and Alabama, on Twenty-sixth and Bryant, on Army and De Haro and on Vermont aud Army; Bernal Park to be im- proved and beautified; for an eight-class school building, to be located in & central sec- tion. To aid.in carrying out a. suitabie site for this proposed building the fo'lowing commit- teo was appointed: Frank McMahon lin, J. T. Graham, N. B. Youug, He: son, David Goggin, H. Anderson, J. H. ' Bradlow, Stephen Byrie. It was also decided to draw the attention of the Board of Health to & pool of stagnant water eighteen feet deep in front of the Ger- man Catholic Church on Folsom and Army stroets, and to have the property-ownerson the line of Army street compelled to fill in their lots, thereby dislodging stagnant water that collects with' no means of escape except by evaporation.

His Mother Says That Religious Fecling Caused the As- ; sault. Affidavits Have Already Been Filed and an Investigation Will Soon F.llow. A strange report comes from San Quen- tin of an attempt to murder Convict ‘Warren E. Price, the well-known A. P. A. writer and editor of The Light. About a week ago, the story runs,a murderous assault was made upon him, aceording to Mrs. Thomas, his mother. Price had scarcely been in the peniten- tiary a week, having been sentenced for eighteen months for sending obscene mat- ter through the mails, when he was pounced upon and badly bruised by cer- tain convicts that took excentions to Price’s religions ideas. His mother says that her son would probably have been killed but for the bravery of Convict Lambert, former Clerk of the Oakland Po- lice Court. Price and Lamberi, as the story runs, were stationed in a short corridor through which the prisoners who are employed at the jutemill are marched on going to work. The duty of Lambert was to count the men as they filed through a narrov gate by which entrance to the corridor is zained. Price was ordered to keep tally of the count on a siate. It was in this cor- ridor that the attack on Price occurred. The hall is narrow and short. Atone end is a gate which is wide enough to ad- mit but one man at a time. At the other end isthe entrance to the jutemill, in which 700 men are employed. At a moment when the gusrds’ view of Price and Lambert was obscured by the long file of men an attack was made on Price. It was, according to Guard Dan Sullivan, one of the worst rows that ias occurred since the prison begam After the row was over, says Mrs. Thomas, whose information comes from her son, a knife with a six-inch blade was found on tbe floor. Mrs. Thomas said last night: *‘Priest Lagan has advised all the prisoners of his faith to keep their hands off Warren, 2nd they may be silent for a long time.” The report is that Murderer McNulty and a prisoner named O'Brien made the most vigorous assault on the prisoner, jumping upon him and trying to kill him. Captain Jameson wielded his club vigorously and prevented any further dis- turbance after the first assault. McNulty claimed to be one of the assistants, that he did all he could to shield Price. Captain Jameson and Convict Lambert Dprevented the convicts from seriously in- juring the prisoner. There is no attempt on the part of many convicts to iide their hatred for the man who was convicted for selling obscene works. A full report of the matter, with Price’s version, is-expected in a few days. Price was not badly hurt and bis only in{uries consist of bruises. t is stated on the part. of some of Price’s friends that the fracas was merely the result of personal animosity beiween the ex-publisher and one of his fellow- convicts. NOE VALLEY PROGRESS, East of the Twin Peaks Is Adding to the City’s Wealth in Im- provements, That section of the warm belt known as Noa Valley, which lies at the eastern slope of the Twin Peaks, is making wonderful improve- ment in the settlement of & prosperous class of citizens who have transformed the valley from s cattle run into an improved section of the City by the erection of handsome dwellings. The only school building in_this section s the James ck School, on Twenty-fifth and Noe streets, and this Is far too small to ac- commodats the seholars living on the eastern edge of the vailey. To remedy this crowded condition a vacant grocery-siore on the corner of Jersey and Noe streets has been rented by the School Direc- tors as a temporary place for the overfiow. Buteven this provision falls to meet the re- quirements of the people, and, as a conse- quence, those residing on the west of Castro street have asked the directors for & building 1n their midst.
