Lardner of Placer, whose election was being con- tested by Ben P. Tabor. Lardner won by one vote and all Tabor’s efforts were di- rected toward a recount. He was lured into-the making of - affidavits, however, and they were his undoing. The committee decided to hear the afi- davits on both sides and when these had been read a process of elimination was commenced. Every claim made by Ta- bor which he demanded was allowed him. Every claim Lardner made was allowed. Then those from which each receded after argument were thrown out.and Lardner's claims were reduced to what Tabor would allow him. Then it was discovered | ance, that ner was still four or five votes in the lead and he was declared elect: Had there been any claims of fraud it probable the committee would have counted the ots, but “‘t{ere Was clatm of fraud, so the con! ‘was settl by the affidavits. A FOR THE UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY HAMPERED BY SCARCITY OF FUNDS President Wheeler Says If State Does Not Contribute He Must 8eek Aid From Individuals. CALL MENTO, HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- Jan. 22.—President Benjamin Ide Wheeler addressed the members of ithe Senate and Assembly this afternoon on the needs of the University of Call- fornia. He spoke for forty minutes, tcuching with eloquence upon the present imperative needs of the institution and the hape of its future expansion. Ostensibly he was addressing a joint meeting of the committees on education; the Senate Committee on Revenue and Taxation, and the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. As a matter of fact, nearly the entire body of Senators and Assemblymen were present, and a large rumber of citizens had seats in the gal- lery. Dr. Wheeler was given an ovation when he was introduced by Speaker Pen- dleton, and frequent applause was ac- corded his address. The primary objeet of President Wheel- er's visit was to confer with Governor Gage, the hope being felt by friends of the university that by such means meas- ures could be agreed upon which would render more substantial aid to the uni- versity. The illness of the Governor's s YouNG '« READWELL L g + son having detained him in Los Angeles, it was decided that the ursenc{ of the university's needs was such that the rresident should adopt the unusual course of appearing before the Senate and As- sembly and pleading personally for the institution. The university bill will be held in abey- it is understood, until President Wheeler has had a conference with Gov- eronr Gage upon the latter's return from lLos Angeles. Until then no committee action is expected upon the old bills, nor will any new measures be drafted’ and introduced. President Wheeler spoke as follows: Mr. Speaker and Committeemen—It affords me a great opportunity and a very great honor to stand upon the ficor of this House of Representatives of the State of California. 1 am consclous that I represent a good cause, an abeolutely good cause. We have no apol- ogles to make. 1am not here to go into tech- nicalities or to resort to diplomacy. If my cause needs some syrup, ask somebody else, please, to furnish the svrup. I wish to tell you simply a straight tale, to tell you the heeds of our great university as. they are, and please to excuse me from savoring the dose. I will tell you so far as I know just what the Institution is, over which I have the honor to preside, which is granted to be as an un- dergraduate institution the second in the land “only old Harvard at Cambridge is ahead of s. It you could have been Wwith us last Friday morning in the gymnasium, the only room large enough to cover us, and only cre- ated lately in order that we might once in a while get together, where 2500 students and professors were, it Would be a lesson in words which no speaker could picture. There is no Institution—I do not know of anything in the State of California that has created as much good as it or gained more praise for the Btate of California than the institution at Berkeley. It is not my creation nor my doing, so it ht to say it is absolutely so. When tate to do anything to ask any -favors for it, to Eet any men to come to it, then I become aware of the great respect in which it s held. It has a good name, end it has a edit, and credit is a large part of its capital. Men never can tinker with its credit. It Is upon solid ground. It Is a represéntative force in the interests of cience and literature. ‘We have a problem before us. 1 wish I could say that I could see just where the end would be, or rather I will say 1 am glad I do not see | it.” That university is going to grow, 1 know, o be o very great institution. I do not know but_that it is going to be the first {nstitution in the world as it stands looking out upon the Pacific, with problems which that university has got to deal with, and we have come to ask help of the people of the State of California. That institution is going to be the great force reaching out its hand to the lands of the Occl- dent, to the Far Fast. Within a generation China will be opened up, and there will be col- leges built In every district. The first lot of Mandarins has come to us already, asking for Occidental education, at Berkeley. ' We expect more in this line. It is natural that they should come ot us. These boys who came from the Philippines represent leading families of the Tagalos, and ask us to educate them. This has not come about by any artificlal means. It is natural. It is a priviiege thht the commission has asked— that California send teachers to Manila, and we have done so. I received a let- ter from there the other day, saying that the dozen teachers that arrived there are highly satisfactory; that they aré so eager for edu- cation that they want to' open great schools there, and they expect a great portion of the teachers to come from California. But of course the State of California is inter- ested supremely in furnishing for its own sons and_daughters proper . education, and for up< holding the pubiio school ‘system. This insti- tution is simply a portion of the State. The State does not only own it, but controls It, and it exists for the State and for no other purpose than to serve the State, and it is the State. This institution has grown 385 per cent in ten years and consequently In the last two years we have not been able to g0 on as we wouly, on account of the size of our classes. There are classes in elementary English of fifty or sixty. in elementary French and German of that num. ber; classes in history that go into large num- Special Dispatch to The Call better distributed throughout the State. The institution is not a private imstitution; it be- longs to all of you; It belongs to the whole State,-if anything belongs to the whole State. the matter of money that we have had (@end, T can say that o the last year, good ol fashioned economy has been practiced. 1 know that there are single instances that can be pointed out that do not represent economy where money has not been spent to the best advantage, but I know on the whole we have lived down to the basis of almost extreme poverty in the last year. Every effort has been made to save every dollar. One of the regents told me that he had come Into the board a year ago belleving the regents were extravagant, but he knows now that not only every dollar but every dime is pinched until he at times is just a little ashamed of it. We employ teachers for salaries less than janitors recelve. Inmstructors are pald $50 a month to work along sclentific lines. We. are unable to Keep our young men; they go to other piaces. Perhaps it is better. they should, because they take some of the good blood of California into other imstitutions. But we are losing our strongest men because we haven't had the means of keeping our young men for the last year. One of the best and most learned young men we have, and one of the men that is the ride of this institution, the pride of Berke- ey, came to me a few weeks ago, and told me he had been called to the head of a de- partment the same as his own in one of the . first institutions of the country, and I could not say a dollar to him. I had to talk to him of the university's future possibilities, its worth and what a grand chance there would be in Californfa. That argument counted, and the man stayed here, because he believes in the future of the university. He knows as well as I know thateno university was ever throttled, no university was ever fuined be- cause of the demand for ite rights, There will be some way to make that grand Institution what it should be. I d3-not know who I8 going to do it. I am not here to find a way, but I know there are means. We have got our money for the years past, and we haven't a cent more than that—no more than we had when there were 1400 students at the univer- sity. We are going along in the same wa I know we shall be taken care of. You Cali: fornians don’t want to be mean about things of this kind. We will go ahead and do the work, and you must look out for us. We need ‘a library. The position in which the professors stand demands that they have the best library there, more than anywhere. We have §0,000 volumes; Harvard has 575,000, Stanford increased 17,000 volumes last year. We have almost two students to Stanford's one. We need a library buflding, and it will be prepared, 1 trust, by private generosity be- fore long. T'don’t contemplate anything less than $2,000,000 for it. We have this year epent §3600 for new books; we ought to have hal $15,000 to spend. for tBat purpose. Ve want to fitsout an experimental dairy: and nothing less than $15,000 or §20,000 should be offered for-thid parpose. b We want to carry on the university ex- tension work. The university, at Chicago uses $14.000 annually for university 'extension. We ought to have for that purpose $10,000. We want to start a department of irrigation. We want a department in forestry. We want to add to the equipment at the Lick Observa- tory. We ought to do something for forestry. I belleve we could start our forestry work on a’solid basis for $10,000. Other departments of the university need to be quickened, strengthened and enlarged. In the department of .chemistry in the last fif- teen years the number of students has grown eleven fold, the number of teachers Whreefold. We need more instructors in the mechanical and electrical engineering department. We need another teacher of Spanish and more teachers in the German department. We want to start a school of architecture. Mrs. Hearst is going to start the bullding of the new university under the Benard plans and she expects to start it just as soon as the working plans can be prepared. But let us not mix the two things. Do mot let us ask her to give the money for the bufldings and to look out for the educational side also. She wants to co-operate with the State to make the university architecturally the greatest in the United States, yes, the greatest in Anglo-Saxondom. We expect to enlarge our department of ju- risprudence, We want to expand our miner- alogy and geology departments. You belleve as 1 do ,that every cent expended on the de- partment of mining or agriculture has come back fivefold to the State. Every one knows it that knows anything of the services of these departments. If_you will study the roll of the students at Berkeley you will find one out of five the son or daughter of a farmer; one of ten the son or daughter of a laborer. Seven and one- half per cent tome from the familes of clerks in the employ of others by the week. The de- mand for cdueation we find here in Callfornia greater than anywhere in the country. This demand shows that the people of California are not different from what you expect them to be when you know of the ploneers here before them. ~They do not want their chil- dren to be brought up in mediocrity. Thelr daughters and sons shall have a chance with everybody, and that institution stands there to meet that demand of the people; of the State of Californin. I thank you very much. | "A question: I would: like to ask the presi- | dent of our university in case we in our wis dom do not grant the money to -carry on that institution, what then? Mr. Wheeler—That institution would not de- cey or be broken down. I would go right out into the State and ask men to contribute out of their-private purses. It Is going to be given us. We have gone along on bare ground o long that T as president of the university would feel T would not be justified in doing anything else but appeal to the State. ~But T do not say this to encourage the State to shirk its responsibility.

Evidence was introduced to prove the woman's character was not the best and that the whole matter was a drunken row. Justice Wallace concluded the evidenco was not sufficient to hold the defendants and dismissed the cases agal them.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-| MENTO, Jan. 22—“What is the matter | with Ralston?”’ fs the unanswered ques- | tion that is going the rounds to-day. His attitude on the bill to appropriate $150,000 to go with a similar amount to be appro- | priated by the Federal Government to | complete the work proposed by the Gov- ernment engineers is causing much com- ment from his colleagues in the Legisla- | ture and many anxious telegrams from | his constituents and the members of the | Miners" Association. | It is generally believed that Ralston is working out the will of Governor Gage, | who, preferring not to sign the bill should | it come before him and fearing to veto it, | is anxious that it be hung up in committee | or in the Legislature. Ralston's attitude | is in line with this pollcy and directly at | varfance with the letter and spirit of the | resolutions passed at the last miners’ con- | vention and at the recent meeting of the | executive committee of that body. t the meeting of the executive com- | mittee, which was held since the Legis- lature opened, it was resoived that every honorable means should be used to carry | through the Legisiature the miners’ measures now before it. The most important of all these is the appropriation bill. In anticipation of the | &asuge of such a bill Congressman | Voods, after a hard fight in committe=, had Conhgzess remove the restrictions from the first §500,000 so as to make it immedi- ately available.
