President Wheeler Says Sys- tem Is Wrong in That Department. The medical department of the Univer- sity of California was under fire at the meeting of the Board of Regents yester- day afternoon. There was plenty of criti- { | cism for the affiliated college, its stand- 1 ards and the attitude of some of its “po- litical professors,” and no regent raised his voice in defense of the assailed school. A recommendation by President Wheel- er for the establishment of a department of anatomy was refused immediate adop- tion until it should be assured that the work of the professor would not be de- voted to the medical college. A resolu- tion offered by Regent A. W. Foster and | directed against these same members of the medical faculty who have political | | ambitions was referred to a committee instead of being immediately adopted only because there was fear that it might be too broad in its application. President Wheeler himself was severe in his criticism of the department during the afternoon. He was speaking of the need of the State for better education in medicine and of his desire to strengthen | | the scientific work in the university and the curriculum and instruction of the medical college. In the course of his re- marks he said: The trouble has been that the instruction in the medical college has been taken up by, prac- titioners to get the entree into wards of hos- pitals and to get their names printed as mem- bers of the medical faculty. President Wheeler also gently chided the regents for the silurianism of their predecessors. He said: I am pleased to know that President Gilman when he took hold of the University of Cali- fornia saw the need for better medical educa- tion, as I do now. He realized his ideals, but in Baltimore, not here. He did for Johns Hop- kins University what he would have done for California—he built up the strongest medical college in the United States, if not in the ‘ MISSIONARY SCHOONER CARRIE TURN YACHT, FISHING BOAT, AND ANNIE THAT HAS BEEN IN SEALER AND HAS CARRIED GOLD HUNTERS TO THE KLONDIKE AND NOME, prior to arrival to load wheat for Europe: The Ladakh, at 38s; the Martha, 36s 3d; the Van- duara, 36s 9d; the Thirimere, 40s, at Portland.

Political Offices Tabooed. The resolution offered by Regent Foster was as follows: Whereas, The constitution of the State of California provides that the Unlversity of Call- fornia ‘'shall be entirely independent of all political or sectarian infiuence, and kept free therefrom, in the administration of its affairs.” Resolved, That the professors of the uni- versity shall hold no office which shall violate or tend to violate the above provision of the constitution, or which shall be inconsistent with the efficient prosecution of their duties as such professors or shall be prejudicial to the Dest interests of the university. Mr. Foster said in this connection: It is the duty of the regents to give loyal support to the medical college and to attempt the correction of any faults that may-exist in it along certain lines. Some of its professors have used their names fn connection with po- litical parties and political offices. I do not belleve that any of them should be connected in any such manner with any political party. 1 have heard it sald that the medical college was weak and that the weakness was due to the professors. We are supposed now to pass upon the qualifications of professors in that department, and if we are to make the medical college a credit to the State and the university the sooner we start to clean out the stables the better. Regent Waymire suggested that the res- olutjon might apply to such cases as that of Professor Moses, who is on leave of absence, serving as a member of the Philippihe Commission. The resolution was referred to a committee consisting of Regents Waymire, Budd and Foster, to report at the May meeting upon its Among those to whom the criticisms by the regents would apply are the follow- ing ‘named: Dr. John M. Williamson, president of the Board of Health, who is professor of anatomy and lecturer on gynecology; Dr. T. B. W. Leland, Coro- ner and professor of . internal medicine.

Los Angeles Seeks to Have Price Fixed at $1 a Barrel. The committee of the oil producers, which has been considering plans for some form of co-operation among the va- rious sections and all the owners of the wells, held another meeting in this city Yesterday afternoon, but the members re- ported that they were not vet in position to tell what they did. They are hopeful that the dgreement, when it is finally adopted, will be what is needed for the common protection of the interests of the oil men of the State and are taking a good deél of time that the matter may be considered in all its bearings. While this is going on, a rumor is circulating in Bakersfield that a syndicate is forming to construct a pipe line from the Kern River district to tide water. ‘“The opera- tors of the several fields in the county,” S0 runs the rumor, “are to be solicited to agree to give their business to the line in case it is ever laid, the shipping charge to be 20 cents. In the event that suffi- cient support is guaranteed the laying of the pipe will begin.” “The man with the speculative turn of mind,” says the Los Angeles Times, “will be given a chance on the floor of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange. At a meeting of the membership the open house policy was adopted, and henceforth margin ac- count trading will afford inducement for speculative flvers. There was not a dis- senting voice registered against this class of trading and the plan went through with a rush. Under the new system brok- ers will be able to trade in oil stocks by putting up 10 per cent of their value.” Work in Districts. Alexander Morrison reports concerning the San Ardo district, in Monterey Coun- ty, that the Tomboy oil well is down 1160 feet; that the Normal struck water in its first well and is preparing to move back to a favorable locality for drilling. The Santa Fe Company will double its force of drillers in the Fullerton field. Grading has been begun By the company for its_thirty-first well. The Los Angeles Herald says that some of the Los Angeles companies have not been selling oil lately because of the low price, and adds: Through the local fleld yesterday scarcely anything was being talked of by the producers aside from the efforts now on to bring the price of oil to the dollar mark, and the produc- ers seem ready to join with enthusiasm in the work. A few of the companies have not been selling of late on account of the low price, and a number of other companies are prepar- ing to store their product for a time, there having grown up Mn the last rew days a gen- eral faith in the advance of price at an early date. The fact that a number of companies have laid their drilling rigs aside will very soon reduce the production materially through the regulation shrinkage in each well during the first few months It is pumped. According to the Santa Paula Chroni- cle, Messrs. Norris and Newell and their associates of San Francisco have pur- chased the controlling interest In the holdings of the Santa Paula Gravity Oil Company with land in Timbrel Canyon and will at once proceed to sink wells. Have an Odd Experience. The Los Angeles Times tells a hard luck story that explains why the Rader broth- ers of Bakersfield failed to go into the oil business. One of the brothers went to Missouri and there found Teady capital in the shape of bank deposits to secure an option on certain lands. The story continues: Two days before the expiration of the option Bob telegraphed his trusted brother on the spot that the deal would be closed the fol- lowing morning and that he would telegraph cash immediately. Alas, for the uncertainties of fate and human depravity, the momey was Dever sent. On the eve before the great event in the career of Rader brothers, and while faithful Bob lay dreaming vivid golden dreams in the little out-of-the-way Missouri town, the cashier of the only bank in the place 'was Tealizing on the cash on deposit. _Quietly and Without so much as a farewell, he slipped out of town with something like $60,000 hidden in a grip. Unfortunately for the would-be in- vestors and the enterprising Rader brothers, the cashier never returned, and the residents of the little Missouri town were forced to face a financial famine that put oil speculation quite out of their reach. Since that eventful failure the Rader brothers have scratched all entries to ofl propositions, belleving their fleld is in another direction. The Bakersfield Californian. says that the company that has recently been or- ganized to furnish water to the McKitt- rick, Sunset and Midway districts will have a supply for all those sections. The magnitude of the undertaking is indicated by the fact that the main pipes, if the entire scheme is carried out, will extend at least twenty-five miles and the water will have to be elevated 750 feet.

BISHOP HANDY SAYS “I Cheerfully Recommend Peruna to All Who Want a Good Tonic and a Safe Cure for Catarrh.” Prominent members of the clergy are giving . Peruna their unqualified indorse- ment, These mer find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them from catarrh of the vocal organs, which has always been the bane of public speakers, and gen- eral catarrhal ‘debility incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman. Among the recent utterances of noted clergymen on the curative virtues of Peruna is the fol- lowing one from Bishop James A. Handy, D.D., of Baltimore: «| take great pleasure in acknowledging the curative effects of Peruna. At the solicitation of a friend | used your remedy and cheerfully recom- mend your Peruna fo all who want a good tonic and a safe cure for catarrh.”’—James A. Handy. OTHER NOTABLE CURES. A Husband Escaped the Pangs of Catarrh of the Lungs. Most Cases of Inciplent Consump- tlon are Catarrh. Edward Stevens. Mrs. Edward Stevens of Carthage, N. Y., writes as follows: “I now take pleasure in notifying you that my husband has entirely recovered from catarrh. He is a well man to-day, thanks to you and Peruna. He took 3ix bottles of your medicine as directed and it proved to be just the thing for him. His appetite is good and everything he eats seems to agree with him. His cough has left him and he Is gaining in flesh, and seems to be well every way. I hope others will try your medicine and recelve the benefits that we have.”—Mrs. Edward Stevens. When the catarrh reaches the throat it 1s called tonsilitis, or 1 tis. Catarrh of the bronchial tubes is called bronchiti: catarrh of the lungs, consamption. Any internal remedy that will cure catarrh in one location will cure it in any other loca- tion. This is why Peruna has become so justly famous in the cure of catarrhal dis- eases. It cures catarrh, wherever locat- ed. Its cures remain. Peruna does not pailiate; it cures. Mrs. Frederick Williams, President of the South Side Ladies’ Ald Society of Chicago, Ill., writes the following words of praise for Pe- runa from 973 Cuyler avenue, Chicago, IlL.: “My home Iis never ‘without Peruna,for I have found during the past six years that there is no remedy that will at _once alleviate suffering and ac- tually cure, as Peruna does.

BONN, “April 24.—Emperor Willlam and Crown Prince Frederick arrived here this morning to attend the Crown Prince’s 1 matriculation at ,the university. They drove to the Schaumberg Palace amid the cheers of the populace and the ringing of the church bells. The matriculation ceremony took place in the.presence of a brilliant company of military officers, civil officials, university authorities and clergymen. Emperor Wil- llam and the Crown Prince stood at a table on which was the roll of the uni- versity and the Prince's card of member- ship. Professor Lavalette welcomed the Emperor and referred to the years his Majesty spent at Bonn and the brilliancy with which he had fulfilled the bright hopes of which he had given promise as a youth. The strong arm of the Emperor, sald Rector Lavalette, secured Germany's frontiers and the German flag waved over | all the seas. Art, science, trade and com- merce flourished under the wise protec- tion of their genial Emperor. Just as the Emperor as a student had won the hearts | of all so would the Crown Prince soon | learn how truly and warmly all hearts beat in unison with his. The Crown Prince then entered his name upon the register and the rector grasped his hand and greeted him as the Youngest member of the university, at the same time expressing the wish that he, like his father, would unite serious duty with the buoyant spirits of youth. The rector concluded with calling for hochs for the Emperor, which were vi orously given. The Emperor shook hands with the rector and greeted several other persons. His Majesty, the Crown Prince and the suite subsequently joined in a procession to the gate of the university and left amid the hochs of the townspeo- ple and students.
