Then they handed the watch back to the affrighted owner. He was told to put it in his pocket and go, with an admonition to turn around. 'Brock complied with the order and speedily sprinted for home.

They were cool and acted as though they were used to the business of holding people up.’ The police kept the affair quiet until to- day, e they were at first doubtful of the henticity of the story. They are now convinced of its correctness and are working strenuously for some clew to the robbers. As yvet they have nothing on which to Several of the officers, however, are of the opinion that the job was a practical joke perpetuated by a couple of friends of Brock.

Mrs. Gleason 1so returns converted from the indiffer- ence she formerly feit in federation to the by the convention no club that is eligible r should stay out. . Gleason, to the surprise of many who knew of her former mild opposition to federation, has become an officer of the federation just formed, and when inter- viewed said that she was pleased to have the opportunity of explaining how her slection took place and its terms, realiz- ing that having been sent from an organ- ization that for the most part is {nimical to federation she realized that she had been put in an awkward position by being put on the ral ticket. “In the first pla ' said Mrs. Gleason, “we were delighted with the very courte- ous and womanly way in which deiegates from the north were received. Ana tie ladies of Los Angeles were in turn de- lighted to have the Ebell send delegates along with the other clubs, for the Ebell of Los Angeles was organized with the assistance of ladies who formerly be- longed to Oakland’s Ebell.

Representatives from twenty-five clubs came prepared to pledge their organizations to a State unton of clubs. We who voted reservedly it was understood, would leave the mats ter of decision with the bodies sending us. “In the making of the ticket the nom- inating mmittee was anxious that the | Oakland Ebell be represented, if only | temporarily.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Jan. 22.—The first ‘‘dope”” planted here since Warden Aguirre’s regime was found yesterday afternoon.

The opium must have been planted sev- eral months ago, as no men have worked on this section of the road since last August.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, Jan. 22. This is a portion of the Alameda County notice for reregistration that the Alameda sors rescinded to- day as reflecting upon Governor Gage. Under the new registration law it is necessary for every voter to reregister, | and County Clerk Frank C. Jordan has been struggling for several weeks to se- cure additional help from the Board of Supervisors to do this work. His strug- gles for this help went back to the la session of the Legislature, when a bill al- lowing him this heip was passed, but was vetoed by Governor Gage, throwing the | turden of this work upon his shoulders. | On top of this the Alameda County Super- | visors refused to allow him any additional | | assistance for the work, and Jordan is | now behind the propos extra ssion in the hope of securing assistance from the Legisiature. One week ago the Supervisors author- ized County Clerk Jordan to issue a no- tice to voters, the preparation of the no- tice being left to him. The notice was prepared and printed for the first time on Friday evening. In that notice the County Clerk told some of the story of his fallure to secure help through the Governor's veto, and the | Supervisors objected to this to-day as a reflection upon the Governor from an of- ficlal source. Supervisor Church called the attention of the board to what was considered a reflection upon the Governor in an official Several of the Supervisors pressed the opinion that while the reflg tion was probably not intentional that it did not look well in a st under authority of their board. thority to issue and publish the call for matter will come up at another meeting of the board when County Clerk Jordan can be present in person.

WHEELER FORBIDS THE FACULTY TO MEDDLE SCHOOL POSITIONS NOT FOR FAVORITES. | Students Must Not Obtain University Influence in Seeking Appoint- ment as Teachers. BERKELEY, Jan. 22.—President Ben- jamin Ide Wheeler has just issued a eir- | the uni-| cular to faculty members of versity calculated to do away with the charges of undue influence used by. pro- fessors in procuring positions for favored graduates and to relieve the instructors of the annoyance to which applicants for such positions have subjected them. The circular is as follows: . To the Officers of Instruction of the Univer- sity: As it seems desirable that the university should adoot and follow a definite policy in all of its relations to the schools the members of the faculty are requested to observe the following rules In_connection with the recom- mendation of teachers: 1. Advice Is not to be offered to school au- thorities unasked, or at the request of appli- cants_for positions. 2. Members of the faculty are at liberty to answer requests from school officers for an in- dividual opinion about particular persons, or about matters of school administration: but where & nomination is asked for the matter must be reported to the president's office, in crder that all possible candidates may be con- sidered and the best person avallable for the position be selected. 3. No written recommendations, to be used at their own discretion. are to be given to candidates for either appointment or promo- tion. Reports on the work of students must be filed with the appointment secretary, who will mail coples to school officers at their re- quest_or at the request of the students con- cerned. No special recommendations are to be sent to school officers, except in answer to a request for such information from the authori- thes. 4. Members of the faculty will please refrain from mentioning to students probable vacancies in school positions, especially where such in- formation is gained by examiners while offi- clally engaged in the inspection of schools ap- plying for accrediting. Very respectfull: BENJAMIN IDE WHEELER, President of the University. The evil at which the orders are aimed is one of long standing, both at the uni- versity and throughout the State. Dis- appointed candidates who were not uni- versity graduates have complained that the university was cornering the teach- ers’ positions as fast as they became vacant, and on the other hand the pro- fessors are continually besieged by im- | portunate students whose demands for recommendations it is impossible to es. cape. The order is, therefore, for vari- ous reasons a welcome one to the faculty members. e Had a Close Call.
