Wil Be Expected to Engage New Staff of Assistants and Infuse New Blood. a The regents of the of Cali- | forni not fuily Unive; v determined what compensation the president of, the insti- tution of learning at Berkeley shall re- ceive under the new and liberal order of things in prospect, but the sum of $10,000 per annum is so frequently ~mentioned that many who are interested in ti change accept that figure as an approxi- mation of the salary. Doubtless the re- gents have exchanged views on the sub- ject, and the promoters of liberal com- pensation reached the conclusion that the figure named will be acceptable to a ma- jority of the board. The most enlightened and zealous friends of the university on the Board of Regents do not expect that all the de- glred reforms at Berkeley will be brought about by a change in the presidency of the institution. Other changes must fol- low in order to obtain the advancement #0 long sought. There is a deal of dead timber In the subordinate chairs that must be disposed of in some fashion. It is acknowledged that some of the professors are useful and progressive, but it cannot be disputed by the most enthusiastic ad- | mirers of the faculty that professors who ought to be pensioned and retired are re- tained. It is said the t an Castern man, whose learning and executive ability commande the attention of the regents, w: sulted as to what plans should be adopted to eliminate the undesirable profe He suggested that the new p e ghould be assured that all the profi s would resign at the end of the year. The suggestion meets with favor. It may not follow that a sweeping, radical change all along the line of subordinate instruction would result from the adoption of this jlan, but the new president’s task of in- troducing modern methods of education would be lightened if he were left pe fectly free to select his coworkers, Capa- ble men, now out of place, might be as- gigned to positions where they would be able to render excellent vice in build- up the institution. Men who never were of any use to the university and others who have outlived their usefulness as instructors could be digposed of with- out public comment or embarrassment to | the president. ‘he college professors at Berkeley have not quite given up the hope or the fear that one of their own set”will be chosen to succeed Mr. Kellogg.

How James Green Celebrated Dewey Day at Glen Park at Others’ Expense. A gang of pickpockets took advantage of the gathering of patriotic citizens at Glen Park yesterday to ply their vocation by getting awa ith other people’s prop- erty. Among the number of light-fingered individuals noticed by the police w: James Green, whose record Is well known to the detective department at the City Hall. Green was seen by Officers J. Edner, C. H. Taylor and Horace G. White of the Seventeenth-street station, who had been detailed by Captain James W. Gillin to look out for such characters. As soon as the crowd gathered at some particular point on the grounds Green and three pals were seen to push their way into t thickest of the gathering. It required but a short time for them to develop their calling, as two ladies—Mrs. adie, who resides on Bernal Heights, and Mrs. McLearn, residing at 131 Cali- fornla avenue—reported to the officers that their purses, containing some money, had been taken out of their pockets by g man answering the description cen. rs found him, and on being confronted with the ladies they at once identified him as the man who had robbed them. He was placed under arrest and taken to the Seventeenth-street sta- tion, where he was charged with grand larceny. The other suspects made them- lves scarce when they saw Green in the clutches of the officers. e AGAINST POLYGAMY. Dr. Paden’s Address Before the Pres- byterian Ministerial Union. At the regular weekly meeting of the Presbyterian Ministerial Union, 420 Sacra- mento street, Dr. Paden read a criticism vesterday morning on B. H. Roberts’ “Defense of Polygamy,” an article writ- ten in the May number of the Improve- ment Era, a Mormon magazine. The Ladies' Occldental Board was invited to attend. “Dr. Paden considered the article of B. every postulate advanced. that” the Mormons are now practicin, polygamy openly. “Ever since statehoo has been acquired,” he claimed, “‘the Mor- mon women_have taken the names thelr husbands, something which was not formerly done.” Dr. Paden then disproved the arguments of Roberts, which trace the justification of Mormonism to the Bible. “If the polyg- amy of David, Abraham and Solomon was right it would be equally as good logic He showed to sa all the other sinful and vicious practices mentioned in the Bible were also right.” The latter portion of Dr. Paden's address was devoted to Solomon and his many wives, —————————— SALAD SET DAY.

The complaints made last Thursday by | a number of business men who had been summoned to appear before the Grand Jury as witn and who were Kept walting for hours before being called to testify have had the effect of bringing to | the surface the details of internal dissen- ons in the Grand Jury that are held accountable for the poor results that have | attended the work of the jury during the | past four months. “Many of the members | do not want to rest under the imputation | that they have taken no interest in their | work when, as they claim, every effort on thefr part has been nullified by the attitude assumed by Foreman C. A. Mur- dock, whom they hold responsible for the lack of effectiveness that has been the chief distinguishing mark of the acts of the Grand Jury. | So grave, indeed, are the differences be- | tween the foreman and a majority of the | members of the jury that serious discus- slon has been indulged in as to the ad- visability .of taking steps looking toward his removal from the position of power which was given him by Judge Dainger- field when the jury was impaneled and ! sworn in. That this has not been done is due rather to the fact that the power | of & majority of the members to depose | the foreman is questionable, than to a lack of desire on the part of those wh | believe the work of the jury is being | hampered and its effectiveness vitally im- | | paired.

THE WORK OF TWO HUNTERS BY BULLETS. | | Ocean Water Reddened by the B]ood‘ of the Fish-Killers, but Their Bodies Went Out %o Sea. Death reaped a great harvest at the sea lion rookeries at Point Reyes 3 The metal-jacketed bullet of the maga- zine rifle has played havoc in the large | herds of the marine animals, and the tide off the very stormy headland is strewn with thei lifeless carc For some time past this has been contemplated by the State Board of Fish and Game Com- missioners, who believed that by thinning out the herds the fisheries industries of this locality would be more protected from the ravages of the beasts. On Fri- day morning Deputy Al Wilson and a ympanion started for the rookeries to slaughter the seals. Upon arriving there they found that Mr. Wilson's former trip in February had had some effect. On that occasion he killed about 150 of the beasts, and the remainder were somewhat timid at the report of a rifle. At any rate, there were fewer than when he was there before, but still enough to make the hunting interesting. It had been supposed that the seals were in the habit of going to these rookeries to bring forth their young, but inquiry leads to the belief that the Farallones are | the favorite breeding grounds and that the old sea lions take their young to the Point Reyes rookeries as soon as they are able to master the waves. In order to es. destroy as many of the fish-killers : possibie it was necessary to look aver the ground before beginning the work of kill- ing. Mr. Wilson recognized at once that conditions were different from what they were when he was there before, and two days were consumed in going over the rocky cliffs. This is by no means an ecasy task. The point is situated on the ex- treme end of the peninsula that projects out into the ocean about eight miles from the line of the mainland. | The face of the point extends about three miles northwest and southeast. It | is a wild cliff that rises out of the ocean to a height of about 600 feet. At the foot of this cliff on the northern end the rookeries are located on ledges and shelves from ten to twenty feet above the water. There are but few places where even the most daring hunter would venture a descent, for a single misstep would hurl him down hundreds of feet upon the jagged rocks over which the breakers dash incessantly. As stated, the first days were devoted to finding a place where access could be had to these rocks. near the water, and where the hunters could do execution with their firearms. On Saturday they found a place where the animals frequented, and there some killed, but not as mar It was decided that it would b avoid firing upon the rookeries as long as ible, because to do so would scatter > sea’lions. At last a desirabl tion was found, but to reach it was dan- Yesterday morning _ after a breakfast at the dairy E. Dickson, where the hunters were ac- commodated in fine style, they forth. After a walk of half an hour they reached the Government lands on which the lighthouse and signal station is lo- cated, and began the descent to the wa- ter's edge. A part of the way was down a rickety ladder, placed there by some adventurous fisherman, but long out of use. Thi thirty feet long, and below the are as treacherous as the lad der, small shelves projecting to af- ford an unsatisfactory foothold. ~With pockets filled with ammunition and rifles strapped to their backs the men care- fully worked their way down the face of the cliff, a high gale threatening to dash them to the depths below every moment. The descent required fifteen minutes, but at last a safe footing was obtained near the water, close to one of the small reefs around which the seals had to pass on their way from the fishing grounds on the south reef to the rookeries. The hunt- ers_crouched behind a small rock to be sheltered from the wind, but not from the spray and spume of the sea, which dashed over them with every roller of the Pacifi As the sea lions passed by their appear- ance at the surface was met with a sharp report of one or both rifles.

It is safe to say that not one of the wounded escaped, their very exertions accomplishing all that the bul- lets failed in. shot half metal jacketed soft pointed bul- Jets, that expand on coming in conta with a solld of any kind, and the e: anded points tore great holes, that Sained the blood very rapidly. The procession thaf swam to its death was varied. Great bulls that weighed from one ton to a ton and a half, large cow seals with yellow bodies, . Spotted leopard seals, black barking seals and the half-grown of all kinds afforded targets for the hunters. Many of the killed went to the bottom at once, and the few that died with air in their lungs floated out to sea, so tnat there is but little fear that their bodies will ever annoy the people along tne shore. As the run along the cliff de- creased it was decided to make an on- slaught upon the rookeries proper. Gain- ing a point about 150 yards from the rook- eries, for the hunters could get no near- er, a stand was taken upon a point of rocks in full view of the bellowing, bark- ing beasts. The rifle sights were run un for the required elevation and a large quantity of cartridges were placed so as to be handy for fusillade. There were two objective points to be covered. On one ledge, twelve feet from the water, I basking in the sun about seventy-five sea lions. A little further to the left was a rough rock upon which rolled and tum- bled many more, Scarcely a foot of the rocks but were fhus covered. “Are you ready? asked Wilson. “Turn loose.” ~ The two rifles spoke together. Then the reports of the two alternated, the sharp crack of the smokeless powder arm contrasting strangely with the louder “bang” of the black powder rifle. It must have been that the gale was so strong that the reports were faint to the ears of the sea lions, for it took them several minutes to comprehend that death was swinging his scythe among them. But they were soon alarmed by the bellowir and barking of the wounded and by the ’ rolling of the dead from the rocks. Then with a rush the whole herd tumbled into the breakers and disappeared. This gave an opportunity to replenish the nearly empty magazines, which, by the way, had been emptied and filled once since the shooting began. Even at that great dis- tance the deadly effect of the bullets was to be seen. Large patches of blood ap- peared upon the surface of the water, marking the location of dead or wounded. The number of these will never be known, for as stated the swift ocean currents soon carried away the helpless and de- funct, No sooner were the mgazines of the rifies replenished than the frightened Besides, one of the rifles | loca- | farm of R. | sallied | shooting was done and a number were | animals began to appear on the surface y as was expected. | best to | in herds of from three to two dozen and not a few lots came to the top as thick a bunch of bananas, affording the hunters a splendid chance to get a pot shot on the lot. Not a few of the brutes crawled back to the rocks only to present fine targets for the stroy The amount of damage that an be done by two men with repeaters is astonishing.” When the seals came to the conclusion that the ro were no longer safe they began to swim about, and all that remained for the hunters to do was to secure a good place and “plunk it” to all of the stragglers that got within range. It is believed that the breaking up of the rookeries at Point Reyes will have the effect of driving the larger part of the herd to the Farallon Islands. The shooting of strays will continue to- day "and maybe to-morrow, when the hunters will return to this city. —_——— Lost a Valuable Watch. John Devenney, 550 Natoma street, was among the crowd that assembled in Co- lumbia Square yesterday at noon to hear the gun fired in honor of Admiral Dewey. He was 1ot there long when he discovered that his gold watch had been stolen from his pocket. It had teen neatly slipped off the chain. He reported his loss at police headquarters and said he felt it keenly as the watch was presented to him by ex-Governor Budd at St. Patric Fair about a year ago for being the most popular Irishman in (he city, and it bore a suitable inscription.
