Out of the five prizes offered, four of them were borne off by Sen-Sen, belonging to Mrs. F. 8. Senn of New York.

LOWER CLASSES TOMEET ON TRACK Sophomore-Freshman Field Day to Be Held Early in March. BERKELEY, Feb. 21.—The annual freshman-sophomore field day will be held on the university cinder path Baturaay, March 9. The date was set early on ac- count of other field days which come later in the term. Unusual interest is exhib- ited by both classes and a large number of entries have been recelved. The merits of the two teams are hard to judge at present. Many men with good high school records are in the freshman squad. On the other hand, the sopho- mores have Cadogan, Abadie and Town- send, who have been picked for winners in the dashes. The freshmen, with Cheek and Cooley In the jumps, Starr in the vault and Vilas in_the weights, claim all the field events. The two-mile run has been substituted for the walk in the list of events in order to conform with.the new Stanford-California athletic agree- ment. \ Freshman Track Captain A. M.

I, Feb. %Z.—One of worst collisions in the history of the Am- boy division of the Pennsylvania Ralil- road occurred at about 5:30 o'clock thls afternoon at Rustings siding, near Bu:- dentown about eight miles south of Tren- ton. The “Nellie Bly” express from New York for Atlantigs City collided with pas- senger train No. 330, running from Cam- den to Trenton. The number of dead so far as known is.ten, and the injured up- ward of twenty-five. A special traln which arrived at 9 o’clock from the scer.e of the wreck brought four dead bodics and eighteen injured persons. The injured were distributed among the three Trenton hospltals. Other maimed passengers were taken to Cooper Hospital at Camden. Among the killed was Walter Earl, en- gineer of the express, and James Bir- mingham, baggage-master of the local train. Most of the killed were Itallans. Frank Boland, a passenger on train No , an_employe of the Pennsylvania Rail- road Company, had both legs cut off. The doctors say he will die. Michael Mc- Graw, fireman on the “Nellie Bly,” was badly injured, but is expected to recover. Frank Thompson, engineer of No. 330, had a leg broken and is badly bruised. He i< in a precarious condition. Edward Gar- wood, fireman on No. 330, was h%l}ly bruiged by jumping, but will recover. - ward Sapp, conductor of No. 330, was also injured by being thrown forward on the floor of the rear carof his train. His in Jjurtes are not believed to be serlous. The Italians were riding in the smoking- car of the express train. They were being taken to Atlantic City to do construetion work for the raiiroad company. The tw> trains collided at full speed, Both en- ines and the forward cars of each train, [ Both instances & combination bagga and smoker, were gemolished. The wreck- age immediately took fire.

She has refused tempting offers to lecture, and will remain in Topeka ani help elect a “clean man’ for Mayor at the spring election. These matters were announced by tha crusader from her cell in the County Jail to-day after one charge against her, that for smashing the Senate saloon two weeks ago, had been dismissed by Judgc McCabe. She is still being held on the charge of breaking Moeser's cold stor- age plant last Sunday. A delegation of ihe home defenders called on Mrs. Nation in her cell room in the jail to talk about nominating a city ticket for the election this spring. Mrs. Nation, who has decided to become a citizen of Topeka, at least for a while, was_enthusiastic. “We decided,” she sald, “to nominate a clean man, a man who_does not drink, smoke or biaspheme. No others need apply. e newspaper that Mrs. Nation intends to edit will be published by ‘“Nick” Chiles, the negro joint-keeper who signed one of Mrs. Natlon's bonds last week.

Mrs. Nation says the paper will be pub- lished for the special needs of the negro, It will contain news about the temperance cause in Kansas, and will devote much space to letters Mrs. Nation receives from her enemies and her sympathizers, Mrs. Nation will write the editorials. Mrs. Nation refuses to go on any more lecture trips. A circus and theatrieal man has advertised-that he has secured Mrs. Nation for a theatrical trip.

The called meeting of the Cured Fruit Association to-day had attractetd the at- | tention of the prune men in ail parts of the State, and those outside the county had sent in their ballots by mail. Two thousand of these had been received, When the meeting was called to order about $00 growers were present, probably fifty of these from outside the ¢ounty, Acting President H. W. Meek of Ala- meda County presided, Alfred Barstow secretary. Most all the directors wers present. Mr. Meek read the call for the meeting, and stated the obfects of the | amendments. The previous meetings of the fruit growers held had practically decided the action of to-day's meeting. Santa Clara Valley members had almost unanimously favored granting the directors the power asked for to expend money in advertising and pushing the sale of prunes. The mai] ballots were all sealed, and some littls fear was felt as to their contents, W. W. Dunne was the first speaker. While he did not sanction the whols poliey of the officials of the association he urged the growers to uphold their organization and vote the directors power to expend money in advertising. J. W. Robertson, J. A. Murphy, Dr. Koe« big of Gilroy and others spoke {n the same vein. W. A. Coulter said a crisis existed th, must be met. The question of the pack- ers being able to collect the 5 per cent commission allowed for the sale of prunes had been brought up. He contended that suits at law had demonstrated that the packers will not be able to collect tha commission on prunes sold by the assoeia- tion through other sources. Coulter said it was no time for quibbling and urged the growers to support the directors. J. H. Henry also made an cffective speech. The whole trend of the discussion wag that the association must be maintained |and the officials given support in this | matter, although the previous policy of President Bond and the directorate wus severely condemned. The ballot then commenced—at 11:40— and_continued till 3:30. There is a total of 3707 members in the ascociation, agd a majority, 1554, was necessary for action. The total vote cast was 243. Of this number 2184 was for the amendment giv- ing the directors power to borrow 3200,#0 or less for advertising and advancing tha sale of prunes. But 249 tes were cast against the amendment EKENNEL CLUB ACQUIESCES. Pacific Advisory Committes Now to Have Sole Jrisdiction Here.
