The ex- amination in this case, as in that of the captain, was largely technical in its char- | acter and possessed no general interest, This Witness also described, by the ald of models, how the two ships crashed to- gether. Tt was significant that the descrip- | | tion was identical with that given by the | captain. One interestingg point developed May Flint almost in a flash, | Alex Parker, the second mate of the | May Flint, was the next witness. He was | | suffering from an aggravated case of | | stage fright and was nervously inaudible | In much that he testified. His evidence. | however, was not particularly material, as on the ship he had very little to do other | than feel the effects of what others had | done. He gave his Impressions, however, of the actlons of his superiors, and de- | clared that in his opinion they had not | only taken the best course aftér entering the harbor, but the only course. The sec- | { ond mate served more as a corroborative witness than anything else. | . John F. Hubert, who was lookout on the May Flint on the night of her destruction, was the next witness.

The cap- | tain had neglected nothing that might be | a safeguard to his vessel. Every condi- | tion in the bay had been reported by the | lookout, and nothing that might be an injury was overlooked. The May Flint | was at least a quarter of a mile away | when the lookout sighted, deseribed and announced the lowa. The lookout differed from the other witnesses, however, in one r plece of evidence. it the May Flint let go her anchor before she struck the Towa, while the captain and other witnesses equally i at the anchor was let on. who was at the wheel ay Flint on the night of the acci- dent, testifled that the ship behaved splen- | didly during the entire voyage until she struck the lfowa. Further than_this his testimony was not important and he was excused. Captain Woodside then explained that he had hoped to secure a tug, had prepared for one and was on the lookout for one, but he did not furgher try to se- cure one. Agents of the Merchants’ Ex- change came alongside, but he told them nothing of his desires, and went on until his ship was spitted by the giant ram of | the Towa.

PR S Fifty-two bright young men and women | are about to petition the Board of Re- | gents of the University of California not | to cut them off from the advantages they | have enjoyed in the matter of prosecuting | the study of the Cantonese branch of the | Chinese language. A meeting will be called in a few days to, take the necessary steps. There is an Instructor in Can- tonese in the university who was recom- mended by Dr. Freyer and appointed upon Dr. Freyer's representations. Now these fifty-two young men and women say that Walter Fong, the appointee, is a See Yup, as they are credibly informed, and that he is not u Cantonese. Therefore, they have refused to a man and woman to en- ter Walter Fong's new class, on the ground that he is not competent to teach | them the commercial dialect of Southern and Eastern China. They have all been | studying Cantonese between one and two | years and many of them hold certificates | from the University of California, show- (nl( their progress to be creditable. ncidentally’ much bitter talk is heard among them concerning Dr. Freyer. He speaks the Mandarin dialect. This is the tongue of Northern and Central China. A few pupils have studied that dialect, but many more have engaged. under the fos- tering Influence of the College of Com- merce of the University of California, in | the study of Cantonese. The whisper is heard that jealousy of the growing inter- est in Cantonese has been at the bot- | tom of the sudden change that the uni- | versity has made. For nearly two years the Rev. Dr. John Gardner, who {s widely known as a Chi- nese scholar, and who has been in daily contact with Chinese from the Canton province, in his dual capacity of Gevern- ment interpreter and Chinese missionary, has been giving gratuitous instruction to all comers who wished to study at the Hopkins Institute of Art, and his pupils say that they were pleased with the ad- vancement made by them. A few weeks ago Walter Fong was appointed to suc- ceed Dr. Gardner and was glven a salary. The first fruit of this is a charge of 35 &er term for instruction. The next fruit the outspoken indignation of the former students of Cantonese. ““We are going to ask the regents,” said one of the students yvesterday, “to rein- state Dr. Gardner. if they will not we | will have no way but to employ a private | teacher."” | The following named are the students | ho have refused to join Walter Fong’s class: BEdward George Adank, Margaret G.

The mat- | ter was finally referred to the City Attor- nS' with instructions to consider the le- ity of Price’s original appointment as leutenant. The case has been assigned to_Judge Hebbard.
