Bold Request for the Removal of Professors Bacon and Clapp. Professor Kellogg Asked to Reconsti- tute the Facuilty Athletic Committee. BERKELEY, Jan. 3L.—The Associ- ated udents of the university this morning broke all college precedents by petitioning President Kellogg for the removal of two members of the faculty, Professor Thomas R. Bacon and Pro- fessor E. B. Clapp, from the athletics committee of the faculty. The resjolu- tions asking for a new committee were hotly debated and the adoption of them by a vote of 85 to 40 did not come until after an exciting discussion. Dissatisfaction with the present fac- ulty athletics committee, which con- sists of Professors Bacon, Edwards and Clapp, was first openly expressed by Football Manager Everett J. Brown, upon his election a week ago. He charged that two of the members: of the committee (evidently Bacon and Clapp) were not acting for the interest of athletics at the university and de- clared that until a change was made there would be trouble and dissension. Brown was reprimanded for his lan- guage by Professor Soule, chairman of the students’ affairs committee, but no official action was taken and the fac- ulty showed an inclination to drop the matter. The student body to-da however, indorsed Brown's position by their action and have forced to-an issue the question of faculty interven- tion in athletics. The resolutions which threaten to cause consternation in the facuity are as follows: Whereas, It is to. - secure harmony hetween th. d - stu- dents in all matters h ercises som harmony nor the s nt body ttee of the:facu ed, which fa ¥ prove a ess of the unive g year; be it lved, That we, the Associated Stu- ts of the Univer of California, re- tfully petition president of the university to reconst the ‘above-men- tioned committee from such faculty mem- bers might co-operate with us, through tativ 10 a greater extent some_members -of “the. present mittee; and be it further Resolved, That it is the sense of the d that such co-operation t secured by the appoint- ommittee of Professor Wal- ter Magee, Professor George C. Edwards | and Prc irre- se pro- fessors are known to hold:on any matters of athletics policy: The resolutions. were offered by J. Haber, '98, and a prolonged discussion followed. Editor Hopper of the Occi= dent vigorously objected to the resolu tions, charging that they ‘were merely of athletics at the university. Secre- tary Allen of the Associated Students intimated that a personal quarrel be- tween Brown and Professor Bacon was at the bottom of the trouble. Brown hotly denied the charge. -After an hour of controversy the resolutions were adopted, the secretary being instructed to send copies to President Kellogg and the Board of Regents. President Kellogg refused to discuss hat would be done with the students’ petition. “I have just read the petition,” he £ald this afternoon, “and have not con- sulted with anybody about it. ‘I can not talk about it now ASEBALL T0 BE REVIVED Manager Moran of Old-Time Fsme to the Front. intends to Give Oakland Front Rank in the Coast Baseball Pro- cession. Oakland Office 8an Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 31. J. T.

There 8 not a more enthusiastic en- thusiast in California on baseball lines than J. T. Moran. He says that the few years that he has not been tak- ing an active part in the sport have been lost from his life. He places the time of certaln events according to superior, Helms.

The unusual number of holdups that ent parts of the city are causing great uneasiness in police circles;, and, al- though in a very few instances the rob- bers have been arrested, there are a large number still at large. The latest reported to the police was that of Pierre Bologne, a French sailor. About 3 o'clock yesterday morning he was walking along the south side of Market street, in the direction of-the water front, and, just'as he passed Fre- mont stréet, two men sprang upon him and knocked him down with a. blow:on the head from a black jack. ‘The blow stunned: the sallor for a minute, and when he recovered the men were going through his -pockets. .

The running expenses in 1897 were $33,- 751 48, and ‘the additions to plant were $17.334-84. The number of meter users in the city is 2807.

The Aged Alameda Capitalist Carried Away by Blood Poisoning. ALAMEDA, Jan. 31.—Theodore Meetz, the aged capitalist, who had one of his legs amputated last week ~because. of blood poisoning, the result of the work of a chiropodist. upon a corn on his foot, died this afternoon about 3:30 from the effects of the operation. From the time the operation was performed it was rec- ognized that he had but a slight chance for recovery. His age was a strong factor against him, but he lived longer than was eXpected even then, passing away peace- fully to-day at the hour mentioned. Meetz was 77 years old at the time of his death and was a native of Germany. He had restded in-this country for the | iroater portion of his life, having lived in | lameda for upward of thirty years.

When he sold his franchises to the elec- tric railroad companies he received a very large sum of money for them—some $80,000. 50 was married many years ago and his widow survives him. He had no children. The cause of his death was peculiar. Years ago. while he owned the street car line, he was driving one of his cars when his right foot got caught in some way and was badly crushed. Tt always gave him trouble afterward and finally a very ainful bunion grew on the crippled mem- er. Some weeks ago he called in the services of a San Francisco chiropodist, who operated on the excrescence. Soon after blood poisoning made itself appar- ent, and after other remedies had falled it was decided that amputation afforded the only possible chance for recovery. Accordingly the right leg was cut off just below the knee last week. This did not afford relief, and the end came as al- ready stated. —_— HENRY IS STILL MISSING. His Friends Are of the Opinion That He Is in the City. .. M. Henry, a collector in the employ of the Spring Vailey Water Company, who has been missing since a week ago. yes- terday, is belleved to be in this city.. It is not knowin positively whether he is short in his collections, and it will be ful- Iy two weeks before his district can be thoroughly canvassed. “We are not looking for Henry,” sald Charles Webb Howard, president of the water company, yesterday afternoon, “for if he Is short In his accounts the surety company on his bond will make good the loss. Henry was under $5000 bonds, given by a surety company, and if his accounts be short that sum will more than cover -any loss to the water com- pany. Henry was one of our most trust- ed employes,” added Howard, “and I can- not easily bring myself to believe that he has done anything wrong.”” “If there be a shortage what do you think it will amount to?" was asked. “Under_ng circumstances will it reach $1500, and if there be a shortage it will probably amount to much less.” It 48 belleved Henry is still here. He was well' known and .it_is not_ thought possible he could travel fifty miles with- out being récognized. ~A report was cir- culated . Saturday night that” he had crossed over the line into Mexico, but the story could not be confirmed. The surety company telegraphed to all_the impor- tant ‘stations leading ‘out of the State and received replies that no one answer- ing Henry's description had been seen. The friends of the missing’ colector are of the opinion that he will show up and prove his collections are ail straight. REDUCING RATES The Southern Pacific Proposes Cutting. Down Fares on Through Travel. Claims Edqualization is ‘Necessary to Bring Traffic Througb San Franeisco. T. H. Goodman, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, who has been n Chicago for some time past at- tending a meeting of the traffic officers of the western and transcontinental ' lines, will arrive fn this elty to-day. The object of the meeting, as previous- Iy published in The Call, was to:see if some means:could not be devised by ‘which' ‘the throlugh. rates from eastern points-to Alaska via San Francisco could be made to. coms down to the level of the cheaper fares on ‘the more northern route terminating at: Puget Sound' ports. Though: the:matter was thoroughly gone over, tha méeting dissolved without com- ing to any - defini ¢ agreement; o the solving .of the problem will have to fall on the Southern Pacific alone. The difference comes in the steamer fares from. this - city northward, and amounts to $12 first class and $6 second class.” As the steamship companies abso- lutely refuse to come down from these figures, - arguing that at ‘any reasonable I'price they will have more travel than they can accommodate, the difference on | the through rates from eastern points will fall on the Southern Pacific and its immediate connections. R. A. Donaldson, assistant general pas- senger agent of the Southern Paclfic, when seen on the matter, had this to say: “The situation 1is simply this: The through rates from the east to Alaska by way of San Francisco are $12 and $6 | higher than by way, of Portland, Seattle, | Tacoma and Victoria, and it thus becomes apparent thatthe lines interested in bring- San - Francisco raflway - fares to meet the steamer charges. This difference will fall on the Southern Pacific and its immediate con- be obliged to stand whatever absorbtion there is. “Such a proceeding on our part is not | & cut in rates, it {s merely an adjustment and equalization so we may get a faic share of the business in the expected | rush.” Should this view of the matter be taken by the northern routes the present har- mony of the ralflway world will remain undisturbed, but should’ some of the northern lines consider the reduction in the light of a cut, they will no doubt ven- ture on retaliatory measures, which will be apt to bring on a rate war of such pro- fortions as has not existed for many a ong day. —_———— LABELING GOODS.

Knowles cted that the Hawley case will be continued. “THE CALL'S” - VIEW INDORSED Ministers Applaud It for Its Stand in the Brown Case. The Editorial in Friday’s Issue Voices Public Opinion They Say. The Bay Association and Monday Morning Club Consolidated Yesterday. Since the members of the churches and their leaders have had a chance to think over the confession of Rev. C. O. Brown many of the friends of that gentleman, who were once his stanch supporters, have changed their minds and are outspoken in their belief that the sentence of the Bay Conference was a merited one. The attitude of The Call in laying asideall sentimentality and showing the gentleman up in his true light has been applauded by many of the brightest lights in the Congregational Church. After the meeting of the Monday Morning Club yesterday the praise of The Call's editorial was heard on all sides. ~ The editorial referred to ap- Call, headed “Concerning C. O. Brown,” and the article rebukes him. for the at- titude he has-taken, and expresses dis- gust with the excuse for a confession the disgraced minister read. The part particularly indorsed is the following: The .so-called - confession is only an- other of the long list of Brown decep- tions. Tt is really an attempt at self- glorification. - By implication it tries to convéy the impression that although Brown was not wholly innocent, he had been far more sinned against than sin- ning. It speaks of “‘a deep and malignant conspiracy against his home.” He knows that no such conspiracy ever existed; he knows that people are aware of this knowledge on his part. The charge comes with ill-grace from a man who had de- Iiberately sullied that home by installing within fts wails as favorite a creature of the streets. There is naught in the confession indicating regret; its abject- ness has no rln? of sincerity, Its promises are hollow. It Is not what it purperts to be. 1t is a palpable sham, a crowning infamy born of a character wholly barren of the elements tending to_respond to an impuise toward reform. Yet this man calmly proposes stlll to serve a cause to which he is more than a reproach. He has become a stench in the mostrils. One of the ministers of this city, the Western correspondent for the large Congregational paper of the United States, edited by Lyman Abbott, called the New York Outlook, when _tele- graphed to for particulars of the Brown case sent among other clippings: the editorfal before mentioned, writing at the same time that “it was public opin- fon voiced in the most conservaiive pa- per of San Francisco.” The Bay Association is no more, neither is the Monday Morning Club, for both consolidated yesterday at the regular meeting of the Monday Morn- ing Club into ““The Ministers’ Congre- gational Association of San Francisco and Vicinity.” The cause of this change is that neither organization could live by it- self, but joined together could become a powerful body. A new constitution was framed and the officers of the Monday Morning Club ‘were appointed as officers of this new body until next April, the time for regular election. According to the new constitution none but ministers will be eligible for membership, thus barring laymen, a move that has caused considerable comment, as this was not the case with either of the two associations that yes- terday met and adjourned sine die. The first meeting of the new associa- tion will take place next Monday. Rev. E. P. Dennett read a paper be- fore the Methodist ministers, the sub- ject being ‘“‘Spiritual Biology,” and in it he criticized the teachings of the theological seminary in regard to its method of instructing the pupils to teach the gospel. The Presbyterian ministers were en- tertained by the reading of a paper on the “Four Gospels of St. Luke” by Rev. §. 8. Cryor of Westminster Church. A woman appeared before the ministers to tell them about the Italian mission. The Christian ministers met but ad- journed at an early hour, after listen- ing to a paper by Edward Davis on “The Relation of the Holy Spirit to the GREAT COURSING EVENTS. Two Meetings Will Be Held This Evening—High-Class Dogs for the West. Meetings will be held this evening at Pythian Hall, between the original Inter- state Coursing Club and the new club which is known as the Union Park Coursing Association. As business of more than ordinary im- portance will be transacted by both or- ganizations it is expected that a large number of leashmen will be represented at each meeting. ‘Messrs. Donahue and Simmons 0}5 Crip- le Creek, Col., have written to the sec- }-‘etnry of the Interstate Club that they will have three or four crack running dogs entered for the John Grace cup, which will be run for at Ingleside Park on February 22. Mr. Donahue will be here in season to witness the great inclosed coursing event of the season. It was stated last evening on good au- 1 thority that Eddle Canavan will judge the Union Park Coursing Association meeting on February 22. An attempt has hen made to secure the services of Headly, the great English coursing_judge, for the Union Park Asso- clation, but as Mr. Headly has an excel- lent position in old England, it is ex- tremely doubtful that he will journey to California unless he is guaranteed a sub- stantial salary, which must last at least ree years. thJ.eA?' Graham of St. Louls, who {s an importer of English greyhounds, has sold to Hugh Lynch of the Interstate Club four high-class dogs, namely: Decota, by Glenfilrk-Gllder: Mystic Mald, by Mil- ler's Rob-Lady Penbrook; and two pup- ples by Astronomy-Mystic Maid of great romise. The kennel will be shipped on ednesday and Mr. Lynch expects the high-class fiyers in this city in the latter part of the week. : WILLEY'S WILL.

The Klondike rush has proved a boon to seamen all along the coast, except in this. port. Heretofore it has been cus- tomary to pay $20 per month for coast- vise shipping, and $35 for deep sea, but for the past few weeks shipowners along the coast have been only too glad to get men at $35 per month for the coast- wise trade and $40 per month for deep sea men. In this port the prices remain the same, but many men take what they can get to get out of port and then de- sert and ship for the higher rate at the first port the vessel makes. It is expected by the members of the local union that in this way a great many who have been idling away time along the water front will go out, and Increased prices from San Francisco will follow as a natural re- sult. CROOKS IN PLENTY [N THE MISSION Police Confident That a Gang Is Operating in That District. Residents of the Mission are becoming greatly alarmed over the large number of robberies an’ burglaries which have been committed in that district during the past month. Daylight burglaries have been very fre- quent and the thieves are becoming more daring. On Saturday afternoon between 4 and 5 o’clock the grocery store of John Do- herty at York and Twenty-third streets was entered by two men through a rear entrance whilé the proprietor of the es- tablishment was standing in front of his store, and. the contents of the cash drawer was stolen. Miss May Hogan, a young lady living on Hampshire street, saw the burglars leaving the store with a bag and stated that they disappeared down Twenty-fourth street. About twenty minutes later the saloon and grocery conducted by Luke Fitzger- ald at. Hampshire and = Twenty-third streets was entered in a similar manner while the proprietor was waiting on a customer and the cash register was emp- tied. The Pollce are of the opinion that a gang of Bastern crooks is operating in the Mission and the most efficient detectives on the force have been detailed to run them down. Captain Bohen has secured excellent descriptions of the men and is confident that before many days have elapsed he will have the entire gang in the tanks. Nearly all the burglaries and robberies in “he Mission of late have been commit- tea in the same manner, several occur- ring at about the same time each mnight, thus strengthening the belief of the pres- ence of a gang. —_— —e———— A Friend at Court. Two. new laborers went to work in the appraiser’'s store yesterday. One of them, >. W. Love, is a personal acquaintance and friend of Vice-President Hobart and worked for him in Paterson, N. Hence it is reported in the’'Custom House that Mr. Love owes his position in the ap- gmlser‘s store to the good offices cf the Vice-President. ADVERTISEMENTS.
