14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1897. MIS HANDS MAY BE UNGOUND Greater Authority to Be Granted President Kellogg. SPECTED. | BUDD’S INFLUENCE Three Important Committees of the Regents to Be Dispensed With, SIACK AYD HOLDEN TO ADVANCE. Cursory Methods of the Board Said to 1 Oompare Badly With Those of Palo Alto. BERKELEY, CaL., July 30.—The rights and prerogatives of President Martin Kel- logg of the Btate University are tc be vastly increased. By a resolution now pending in the Board of Regents his au- thority will be almost doubled. Much of the red tape and painful formality now | peculisr to the systems of the board will | be dispensed with, ana a broad step taken toward establishing a one-man govern- ment at Berkeley. In fact as much of an | advance in this direction as is possible! under the fundamental laws governing | the institution will be made. As far as the academic government of the institu- tion is concerned he will be practically an ‘ sutocrat. i 'hree hitherto important committees, iz.: thhe committe e on internal adminis- tration, the committee on law and the Lick Observatory committee, are to be done away with, and the authority once exerted by them will be vested in the president. This baving been done, he will have absolute power to recommend | directly or to the board any changesin the government of the institution and the | appointment of instructors and proiessors, | without being first obliged to refer the | matter to the several committees. o | The question is now in the bands of a special committee, headed by Regent Denicke, which will recommend at the next board meeting the mentioned | change. The committees which will lose | their identity by such a move are: Inter- | nal administration, consisting of Regents | Marye, Slack and Black; law, Recents | Wallace, Rodgers and Reinstein; Lick Observatory, Regents Phelps and Siack. Regeut Charles F. Crocker was also a member ot this committee. | As matters now stand, any decrease or | depletion in the forc- of instructors or the | slightest change in the administration of the institution ouiside of the immediate authority of the faculty is required to be first submitte: by the president Yo the several supb-committees. To do their work conscientiously these committees must spend a considerable | time in securing the important details of | the case, and thus traverse the very ground justgome over by the president. In many cases they are absolutely unable to secure all the necessary information themselves | and are torced to rely on the judgment of the president. Thus a delay 1s occasioned and tie wheels of the university are al- | lowead to roll lazily around. It is to do away with this tedious com- mittee work, to expedite matters and to | vest 1n the president greater authority that the change is to be made. With an increase in his rights will also comean advance in the power of Judge Slack as dean of the Hastings Law College, and of Dr. Holden as director of the Lick Observatory. It has long been argued that the presi- dent has been hampered in his work by the rules of administration laid down by the regents, and because of them he has been unable to work up to the margin of his ability. die has been declared to be nothing more than a figurehead subj-ct NEW TO-DAY.

Try, a8 sec what we are doing. ; to the dictates of his superiors, and has been allowed but little sway. s He has been placed in coatrast with President Jordan, as regards the limits of his authority, and the argument bas been deduced that on account of being tied hand and foot President Kellogg has been unsble to conduct the «ffairs ot the insti- tution on such broad lines and advertise it far and wide in the same degree as the Palo Alto president. Fresident Jordan has absolute authority to engage and dis- charge instructors, govern the institution according to his wishes and spend what- | ever funds in whatever direction he sees | fit. None of these privilezes have been granted to President Kelloge. 2 ding to the prineiples upon which versity of California is founded, it will be quite impossible to make the presi- dent an absolute autocrat and to place him on an equal footing, as regards au- tnority, with = President Jordan. The nearest approach to it, however, that is possible to be made will be effected, so far as the academic administration 1s con- cerned, through the proposed change. It is not improbable that in many cases the members of the board will follow their previous example in their dealings with the committees 1o be dispensed with, ana refer back to the president, ¥itn power 10 act, any matter whica he might bring up. Thus he would be granted even greater authority. There ars' but few institutions in the land where the president has as little di- 1 au uority as President Kellogg. Iiis under-tood that the chanwe about | to be effected is through the influence ot Governor Budd, influential friends of the university having pointed out to him the results of a one-man government as ex- | emplified in the work of President Jordan. It is said that the Governorin turn went about the matter of securing to President Kellogg more power. President Kellogg returned to-day from a six weeks' outing near Shasta, much | improved in health and strength. DEPUTY BABOOOX EXPLAINS. He Says the Destru missioners’ Fish Was Proper. Deputy Fish Commissioner Babcock is not pleased with the refiections cast upon | bim on account of the destruction of fish evidence in criminal cases pending before the courts. *The complaint was that cer- tain fish seized as evidence and stored in a cold storage place on Clay street had been ordered destroyed by Mr. Babcock before the cases were heard in the Superior Court, making it necessary to dismiss the cases. Mr. Babcock, in explaining his position in the matter, produced the following letter: June 2, 1897 Merchants’ Tee and Cold Storage « ompar Clay strest—GENTLEMEN: Your 1avor of 2 hand. We forwarded you copy of the laws, for our deputies we desire to exten our thanks. Your assistance and k are. fully apprecieted. We should have ad- vised you some time 4go that you may destroy all packages you now hold jor any of our men. The cases have ali been dispused of and we no longer require the evigeace. If any of your men can make any personal use oi the fish and game you hold for us you may let them do so. We have no knowledge of Mr. Mogan’s evi- ence in your hands, but as he is no longer an officer of the Co he probably has no use 1or the evidence. Yours respectiully, CALIFORNIA FISH COM By John P. Babcock, Chief Deputy. “The fish and game that [ ordered de- stroyed,” saia Mr. Babcock, ‘‘was evi- dence in cases that the State Fish Com- missioners’ deputies had before the courts and which had all been decided by the accused parties pleading gulity or being found guilty. Some were d smissed by the court, but all were old cases. As to Mr. Mogan’s cases, I know nothing about them. At the time I wrote that letier he was not the Fish Warden of this City, as shown by a decision of the court when he tried to get the salary he supposed was due him, It was not™until a month later that he was reappointed. The cold- storage people wanted to know about the keeping of the evidence in their premises, and 1 wrote as this letter shows. The ref- erence to Mogan's stuff in storage was made incidentally and was without weight so far as I was concerned. A little later the cold-storage peopie told me that they had raised a muss in destroying Mogan's fish.”” MRS. GAREY'S SATISFACTION. Compelled Her Husbaund to Withdraw His Objectiouable Allegations. Mrs. Frances B, Garey has had the satis- faction of compelling her husband to re- tract some. of his unfavorable remarks concerning her conduct. Some time ago Charles K. Garey came to this City and obtaiced a position as a salesman in a clothing-store. After liv- ing in the State a sufficient iength of time he sued his wife for a divorce on the ground of desertion, and incidentally re flected on her good name in a way that she wouia have resented at the time if she had been cognizent of his charges. As the lady was in St. Louis and as servics was obtained by publication she heard nothing of the proceedings until the divorce was,granted, Mr. Garey hav- ing everything his own way. Several dayssince Mrs. Garey made her | appearance in the City and at once en- gaged Attorney James A. Stephens to look into the matters alleged in her husband’: complaint. She insisied that he had sworn falsely against her, and at her inatance a warrant was issued for his arrest on & | eharge of perjury. The beginning of the end of the litiga- tion was witnessed in Judge Hebbard’s court vesterday when the divorce proceed- ings were reopened by the setting aside of the decree, whereupon ti e plaintiff filed an amended complaint, in which ali ob- | jectionable features were eliminated and the specifications set forth actions on the part of the defendant, which indicated that shie was jealous of other women, on whom she had accused her husband of be- stowing his affections. This change in the pleadings met the views of both sides to the controversy, and it is probable that no further opposi- tion will pe offered to the grantiug of the divorce. MISSION, ETTINGER'S NOTE. His Tale of How It Was Secured From - Him in an Insurance. In the suit of J. J. Rauer against Max C. Ettinger, the fringe manufacturer, held before Justice Barry yesterday, some of the methods of some life insurance agents were exhibited. Four months ago, according to Mr. Ettinger’s statement, two solicitors, Libby and Peters by name, called on him and asked him to take out a rolicy in the New York Life Insurance Company, holding out many glittering inducemen These failing, they urged him to submit to an examination, with the understanding that if the policy was issued by the company he could accept it or reject it as he saw fit. On 1hese conditions, he says, he agreed to be examined, and the doctor, Lux by name, procured his signature to a note, Ettinger supposing that whatever he signed for Dr. Lux a}pertained to the medical examination. On his discovery of the fact, he says, he telephoned for the agents, intending o demsnd the return oi the note, but the agents failea to appear. The policy on its arrival was found to be without any of the inducements promised, and Ettinger re- fused to receive it. The note was given into the hands of J. J. Rauer, and he is now suing for its collection, —————— Vacation Time And its delights are described in witty verse by Ella M.

Pays a Large Sum for a Market-Street Business Lot. Claus Spreckels purchased the property adjoining the Montgomery Market on Market street yesierday for $70,000. The | lot i3 25 by 100 feet and is now covered by | a two-story irame building that will prob- ably be removad in the near future to | make room for a more modern structure. | The seller was Mrs, C. F. Joy. GUS BULLWINKLE as He Lay on Hospital. a Cot in the Recziving ing, 113 Oregon street, in the room of a good-looking married woman named Mrs. Ebert. Krull, after laying his victim on Mrs, Ebert’s bed, escaped through a rear win- dow. Mrs. Ebert, after concealing under her bed the romaining cartridzes that were in the pisto!, notitied the Harbor-front police and Buliwinkle, very weak from his wound, was taken to the Harbor Receiv- ing Hospital. Mrs. Ebert was very much agitated over the affair and told the police that the pis- tol was discharged by accident. Snhe said that Harry Lowell, her brother, about 19 years oid, ana Manuel Kruil, about the same age, came to her room yes- terday afternoon, They were preparing to go on a nunting expedition. She ob- jected to Buliwinkle coming into the room because he was a stranger to her, and the room had not been *‘fixed up.’’ He came in, however, at the invitation of Lovell and Krull, and stood near a low bed in the corner ot the room. Krull was sitting on the edge of the bed and Mrs. Evert handed him a nickel-plated revol- ver to take with him, alter taking out all the cartridges but one. Krull believing the pistol to be empty, pointed the muzzie at a point in the floor on a line about two feet parallel to Bullwibkle and pulled the trigger. The bullet struck Buliwinkle on the right side ol the abdomen, inflicting a fatal wound. Krull and Harry Lowell placed Bull- winkle on the bed and asked Mrs. Ebert to go for a doctor, but on her way out of the house she was advised to notify the police. During her absence the shooter escaped throu_h a window in the rear of | the building. 1f Mrs. Ebert’s story was true the bullet must have checxed itself in its flight be- iore reaching the floor and then turned at a right angle tor two feet and then made another right angle into Bullwinkie’s body. She said that Krull took the pistol with him, and alter being cross-examined by the officers she produced the remaining cartridges, of 38 caliber, from underncath the bed, where she had thrown them. She aiso gave the officers an old-fashioned Colt’s navy revolver of 40 caliber, un- ioaded. The pistol did not appear to have ve n recently discharged. Mrs, Evert’s story of the shooting was so improbable that the police did not be- lieve it, bui took her to the Central office 10 be examined by Chief Lees. Late in the evening Krull telephoned to Chief of Police Lees tuat he was in Oak- land at the home of an aunt, but would return and deliver himself un to-day. News arrived still later that Krull had been arrested and lodgea in the City Prison in Oakland, and Captein of De- tectives Ben Bohen detailed Detective Thomas P. Ecles to make the trip to Oak- land and bring him to this City, Krull says that the shooting was en- tirely accidental. Hegives as areason for fleeing to Oskland that immediately after the shooting his nerves became -0 shat- tered by the shock that he lost control of himseif and fled 1n hysterical excitemeut. Mrs. Ebert made a staiemeni to the Chiet similar to that which sne made to a CaAvrr reporter 1n the afternoon. She ex- piained that it was all the result ot an ac- cident and that the whole crowd was in the best of spirits prior to the dischargze of the weapon. Bullwinkie himself testifies to the fact that it was an accident. He corroborates the statements made by the other wit- nesses. The police are non-committal, but one of the detectives concerned in the case remarked that it was very pecuiiar that Krull went so far before his coolness returned. At 9:30 P. M, the hospital ambulance was sent for and the injured man was re- moved to the Waideck Sanitarium to un- dergo the operation of laparoiomy at the hands of Dr. Charies G. Farnurm, It was learned by De:ective Ecles rhat Krull, together with young Henrv Lowell and a third person of the name of Henry Harmon, had been stricken with the Kion- dyke fever and had made elaborate prepar- ations 1o go there. They haa procured a crazy sluop, hardly large and strong enough to stand the buffeting of the waters of the bay in %ugn weather, and had 1t provisioned with supplies sufficient to last nine months. The vprovisioning had taken all their savings fora long time. They called the sloop the Rover and it is now anchored in the small cove near Bluck Point. In ad: dition to the provisions they had taken a lot of old clothing on board which they intended bartering to the Indians of Alaska, The detective says the sloop ‘GALTFORNTA THE MEGCA. A Large Patent-Medicine Lab- oratory Soon to Be Established. | W. R. Kennard Talks of the Business Outlook—Praise for “The Call’s” Eastern Manager. W. R. Kennard, an advertising writer of international renown, who has been con- nected with some of the largest proprietary medicine companies in the world, is now staying at the Palace Hotel, fresh from a trip here from New York via the Northern Pacitic route. His mission is one that cannot fail to interest the business com- munity, for he is at present acting in the capacity of advance agent in the starting of a large laboratory here, something which demonstrates that the value of the Pacific Coast as a commercial region is rapidly being appreciated by the capitalists of the Bast. The laboratory will be established for the manufacture of patent medicines in the interest of a well-known Eastern cor- poration. It will be fitted up on a large scale. [t isthought that the actual work | will begin some time in the antumn of the present year Mr. Kennard has much to say concern- ing the condition of finance and trade in the far East and what is expected for the near future. He is full of praise for this coast in general and believes that its in- dustries are the most diversified on earth. in route here he stayed a short while in Oregon and noted that Portiand is now manifesting a great deal more business activity than on the occasion of a pre- vions trip. Especially does he think the outlook fine in the Willameite and Rogue River valleys. “The depression in business circles throughout the East has long been very marked,”” he said. “I found this true ax far south as Florida. The dull times there are due principally to the failure of the orange crop. “‘But the commercial and financial world is now beginning to breathe more freely on account of the adoption of the new tariff schedule. The outlook for the Mid- dle Western and Northwestern States, so far as the prospects for good crops are con- cerned, is excellent, and I think that it cannotbe long till the country at larzeisin a vastly better condition than at present.

A Ceremony That Prevented the Wrecking of Two Young Lives. Justice of the Peace Barry Officiated at 4 O'clock in the Morning. Just at dawn yesterday George Murphy, a partner in a downtown store, and Kit- tie McGonigle, a 19-year-old girl. were made man and wife by Justice of the Peace Barry. The marrlage was the culmination of a sad train of circumstances that threatened fora time to wreck one life and render an- other miserabie. About a year ago Kittie McGonigle met Murphy and fell desperately in love with him. Atter Keeping company with him for some time the young girl was misled by his promises to marry her. A few months ago a child was born to her and she has tried to' get Murphy to keep his promise, He delayed doing so and on Chursday evening when she again ap- proached him on the street he talked so loudly that he was taken into custody on a charge of disturbing the peace. After he was locked up the girl who is now Mrs. Murphy decided to have an ad- ditional and more serious charge placed against him when the courts opened in the morning. Then his friends decided to interfere and not only szve him from fur:her disgrace but to help the girl. They told him that he must marry her if he expected them to assist him and he consented to doso. Cupid Danforth was hunted up and he consented to issue a license, the document being procured shortly before midnight. Murphy’s release was secured and with the bride-to-be he went to the house of a mutual friend. A priest had been sent ior, but he refused 10 come because he was not certain that tke affair was perfectly egular, and it was finally decided to have the ceremony performed by a Justice of the Peace. The 1esidence of first one Justice and then another was visited, but none cotld be found and it was notuntil 4 o’clock that Justice Barry was finally rounded up and taken to the house where the coupla were waiting. He speedily tied the knot and was put into a cab to return to his home just at daylight. Later in the day, in deference to the wishes of Mrs. Murphy’s family, a second ceremony was performed at St. Brigid’s Church. IN THE SUNSET VALLEY. Matters of Importance Referred to the Executive Committee. The Sunset Valley Improvement Club at its last meeting turned over to its executive committee sufficient proposed improvements to keep it busy until the next meeting of that body. The fol- lowing is a portion of the work submitted to the executive commistee: To urge the Park Commissioners to continue First, 8 venth, Ninth and Nineteenth avenues through the park by means of driveways, Frank Conklin reported that on Ju'y 13 the grades had been established as far west as Six- teenth avenue and as far south as A street. To inspect the macadam that is belag put on Istreet, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, which was sald to be chiefly rotted clay, 1ng to the specifications. In regard to tne plank sidewalk which was laid on the sand on I street, from Seventh to Twelfth avenues. before the street was mac- adamized, thus allowing the sand to flow about and the sidewalk to be desiroyed. To inquire into the report that the chairman of the Light Committer of the Supervisors had been allowed only $300,000—not enough to keep the present lights burning—a: d that he must be aided in obtaining_$20,000 for lights in outlying districts and %30,000 to lquidate Iast year's deficiency. The club wants no lights placed east of Seventh avenue until Adclph sutro opeus at least one street in his property south of Golden Gate Park, to form an outlet to the district. The secretary was instructed to forward a letter to the Board of Supervicors, ask- ing for an appropriaticn of $40,000 for a muin intercepting sewer in the district, the lack of which endangers health and dameages property; showing the damage done by the sewage and storm water of the Almshouse, and .stating that the waterworks of Golden Gate Park are at present polluted by theAlmshouse sewaye, which is permitted to lodge in the sand, as already stated. Another very important matter which will come before the club is the opening of Huco street from First to Seventh avenue, where it connects with Frederick street, thus giving the people in the lower end of the valley an cpening, without being compelled to go a round- about way. to get to the Ci'y proper. This, and the opening of the avenues through the park, as asked for, would be of great benetit to the people. The Market-street Railroad Company has at last yielded to the requests of the club and given the valley a good car ser- vice. Now there is a airect line running from Folsom and Sixteenth strests via Oak streat and Masonic avenue to Ninth ave- uue and H street, with one transfer at Fillmore and Oak streets. This is con- sidered a great victory for the club, as it es facllities heretofore much sought for but frequently denied. JABEZ HOWES DEAD. He Succumbed to Bright’s Disease at His Home Yesterday. Jabez Howes, the pioneer shipping mer- chant of this City, died yesterday at his re-idence, 2325 Bush s reet. Mr. Howes had been ailing for some time, and some days ago: his physician, Dr. G. R. Blake, cave up all hope of saving his life. His illness was Bright's disease, and he had been : filicted with it for a long time. When tne final attack came its course could not be siopped. At the time of his last iliness Mr. Howes was agent of the Dumbarton Land and Improvement Compiunv. He had been in the insurance business after vears as a shippinz merconant, and, although he at one time had considerable money, he died a comparatively poor man.

It Contained References to Their Church Which They Thought Most Unfair, Myers' Ancient and Medieval History is no longer a portion of the course of study in the public schools. Its removal was in deference to Cathoiic influence. When the Board oi Education previous to the present one made it one of the text- books of the department Archbishop Riordan addressed a communication to the School Directors proiesting against its being ratained. He calied attention to the fact that it was unfriendly to the Catholic charch and an nnfair book to be placed in the hands of the children of Catholic parents. His objections were of no avail at that time, but the present board decided it was better to use a book to which no objection could be made. Director Waller said last evening that Fisher's history had been substituiad for Myers’ history because Myers' had peen | found objectionable to a great many people. “Archbishop Riordan of the Catholic church protested against it,”” said the di- rector, ‘‘because of unfair references to happenings of centuries ago and out of deference to his wishes we decided to re- place it with another book that is in every respect as good and cannot be subjected to the same objections.” PRECITA VALLEY'S GAIN. It Was Accomplished Through the In- fluence of the Club. By tenacity the Precita Valiey Improve- ment Club has gained much for the better- ment of the district. President S. A. Byrne has been author- ized by the building committee of the Board of Education to negotiate for school accommodation for the children who have | been crowded out in consequence of there being no room for them in the present | limited quarters. This he has done by | entering 1nto an agreement with Cuneo & | Costa, who will erect a suitable building | for that purpose. The School Department | will rent it until such time as there is | money in_the treasury to build a school- house sufficiently large to accommodate all the pupils. The improvements lately commenced, together with such as are under way, are as follows: Grading Precita avenue from Folsom to Ala- bama street north and south of the prospective Bernal Park; Harrison street, from Twen sixth to Precita avenue to be_graded, seweied and paved: Stoneman street from Alabama to Folsom; similar regmirs on Harrison street, from Ripley piace (0 Stonemanstreet, now be- jore the Supervisors; Florida from Twen tv sixth to Army street, sewer partly finished; grades established on Stoneman street from Harrison to Alabama. Also on Powhattan, Precita, Wolf, Florids, Bryant and York, and the cross streets where not already estab- lished; petition presented to Supervisors to open Alabama street from Folsom to Cortiand avenue, and lately sewer on Bryant avenue. The clab will not down until Bernal Park becomgs a pleasure resort by being put in propdr condition. This, its mem- bers claim, Has been promised 1o the reo- ple for a number of years. Now they want the fulfillment of that promise. POSTAL DELIVERY. | It Was a Brilliant Topaz as Large as | an Almond. R. E.
