ZRKELEY, May 13.—Commence- ment week with all of its delight- ful events will leave no pleas- anter recollection in the memory of the graduating students of the University of California than the hours | passed as the guests of Mrs. Phebe A. { Hearst. The delights of Hacienda del | Pozo de Verona were theirssto-day, and when they left the stately country resi- dence it was with many a fond backward look and many a hearty cheer for their hostess. The time had passed all too quickly for the merry young folk, who had thronged during the afternoon hours | the tapestry-covered halls and green bor- dered paths and had peeped into the y wonders of the hacienda. Three hundred seniors, who will join the | ranks of the alumni in another day, were | entertained at the garden party. The morning was not promising for such an event, for a light but steady rain fell nd kept Niles Canyon in dampne: Soon after the guests’ arrival, however, the clouds broke and the afternoon was ideal. Mrs, Hearst had- provided for the seniors a special train of five cars, which left the Oakland mole at 11 o'clock and | reached Verona at noon. There dozens of covered carriages were awaiting them and | they were driven the mile or more to the haclenda and into the main court. When the gu d all arrived they were recelved by Mrs. Hearst in a room off the main and were then escorted | to the art gallery. The treasures of this collection kept the young people busy CARDINAL AT BE NAMED i Elevate an Italian Prelate. | ROME, May 13.—It is expected that the | Pope will shortly hold a consistory. No { new cardinals have been named, but now | | that there are eight vacancies in the Sa- cred College, Pope Leo may decide to | raise to the purple eitMer the Archbishop of Florence or the Archbishop of Genoa. | ~Cardinel Martinelli will receive the red | hat as the concluding ceremony in_his | elevation to the cardinalate. While Mgr. | Martinelli is at Rome the final decision as to his successor will be made. Every one here asserts Mgr. Falconio will be appointed, and it is thought that the { American episcopate will acquiesce in the | Papal decision. | " The death of Archbishop Corrigan se- | cures the appointment of Archbishop Ire- land as the next American cardinal. | WILL REVIEW MISSION Woman’s Home Missionary Society | Meets in Annual Convention at | Grace M.

Mrs. Hearst mingled freely with her guests, chatting pleasantly to all. Mrs. Benjamin Ide Wheeler was also present. Tables were spread on the hacienda porches and long verandas and in tents pitched on the lawns. The arrangement was particularly happy, as each group was _in view of the other. A luncheon, reaching well the portions of a dinner, was served. The guests lingered long at the tables in spite of the calling attrac- tions. Groups of prettily gowned college girls and young men swarmed over the paths vhen luncheon was over and gradually drew to the center of interest—the stables. The horses and equipment were viewed by all ‘and then the smooth cement floor of the carriage room was found to be too great a temptation. Yanke's orchestra, which had been playing under a crimson and gold awning on one of the hacienda roof porches, was sent for and an im- promptu danc€é begun. The art gallery was again visited by many and all the nooks and corners of the park and bulld- ings searched out. At 4:30 o’'clock the carriages drove up for the guests and as each load of students passed the court where Mrs. Hearst stcod in the entrance of the ha- clenda, cheer after cheer was given her. Mrs. Hearst agcompanied -her guests on the special trafp and went to San Fran- cisco to-night. - TO RECEIVE DIPLOMAS.

O e el o R it @ ISSTS GG BY RESIGNING Parker Quits Position of Expert to State Ex- aminers. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, May 13.—Walter F. Parker, expert to the State Board of Ex- aminers, has resigned his office in order to devote his time to private interests. The resignation has been in effect since May 1, but the fact was not publicly dis- closed until to-day, when Parker con- firmed the news. Parker says the resignation had been contemplated for some time and his in- formation is that his successor already has been appointed, in the person of a Republican of prominence, whose home is in_Mendocino County. The office of secretary to the State Board of Examiners pays $2000 & year and traveling expenses. The new = ap- pointee was conceded to Mendocino in order to placate the Republican leaders of that county, several of whom are known to be antagonistic to the renomination of Governor Gage. Parker will not retire from politics; but will devote his spare time during the next few weeks to assuming personal charge, south of Tehachapi, of Governor Gage’s political interests.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 1118 Broadway, May 13. Unrequited love and overstudy contrib- uted to the 'dethroning of the mind of Miss Louise E. O'Neil, who was to-day committed to the insane -hospital at Stockton by Judge Ogden. Fear that her child would carry out threats to kill her- self, induced the girl's mother, Mrs. R. E. O'Neil of 570 Twenty-ninth street, to have her sent to an institution of re- straint. Until a short time ago the O'Neils iived on an isolated farm in Contra Costa coun- ty. The girl had been taken there by her mother to counteract the effects of over- study in Field's Seminary, where she was educatell. But her melancholy was ag- gravated by an unfortunate infatuation that was not reciprocated. Ten days ago the mother brought her to Fabiola Hospital for treatment. The first night there she wravped herself in where she has since remained. She tried to strangle herself with window cords and moans_continuously, believing she is too wicked to live.

C., May 13.—News was brought from Peking by the Empress of India of an attempt to assassinate Kwang Su, Emperor of China, on April 25. The Peking correspondent of the Tokio Asahi says that as the Chines> Emperor was proceeding in the directfon of Nanpuan, a bullet whizzed over his head. It was rumored that the shot was fired at the Emperor by a foreign soldier. The affair had stirred up considerable in- dignation among the Chinese, and in or- der to avoid trouble the review of the native trooos, which was to have taken place soon after the occurrence, was sud- denly suspended. The Xmperor was nwuch frightened by tne occurrence. Reports are being sent by Peking cor- respondents of Japanese papers of the impending retirement of the Empress Dowager. The Japanese correspondents say she has expressed to some of the court ladies her wish to retire. Rumors are current at the palace that she will transfer the sovereign power to Kwang 8Su and let him minister the state, she re- tiring to Iwa Yuan to spend the remain- der of her life in solitude. ¥ THE GUESTS OF MRS. PHEBE A. HEARST AT HER PICTURESQUE HAGIENDA IN NILES CANYON POLIGE BELIEVE WARD 15 BAD Record of Man Who Cut Wide Swath in Oak- land Uncovered. Though He Claims to Have Coin in Bank He Has No Attorney. Oakland Office San Francisco Call 1118 Broadway, May 13. A week's work by the police has uncov- ered enough of the past of Michael T. Ward, who played the part of an heir to $600,000 and is in jail for the alleged theft of a diamond ring, to satisfy them that their prisoner is thoroughly bad. ‘Ward has a record in San Francisco as a swindler of women. Mis name appears on the police books across the bay as a rogues’ gallery subject. The record reads: “Michael T. Ward, convicted&f a charge of obtaining money from a woman by trick and device on August 25, 13%, and sentenced to serve six months in the County Jail.” Furthermore Detective Denny D. Hal- land has been making additional inquiries among the police in San Franecisco, and he declares that the woman in this case was only one among Ward's victims. Hol- land said: “The woman who was swindled and prosecuted Ward, lost only a small amount, but Detective Anthony informed me that Ward got $2000 from~“a French woman in San Francisco several years ago, and that she refused to prosecute According to the police, Ward has a family in Tacoma, but was divorced there before he met his present wife, from whom she has complained he has secured $2500, her gold watch and chain and a diamond pin since their marriage a few months ago. The whereabouts of this jewelry and of the diamond pin Ward got from Jeweler S. Lathrop, has not been discovered. The detectives say that Ward pawned them. As an heir to a fortune, as a successful rallroad contractor and man about town, Ward has made many acquaintances in Oakland. The police are now looking about for further light. Around headquar- ters it is rumored that Ward is not un- known in San Jose, Los Angeles, Tacoma, Seattle, Ogden and other cities on the coast and in nearby States. A man who answers Ward's description drnpxed into San Leandro several years ago &nd interested a number of the local capitalists in a proposition to bufld_an electric_rallroad from that town to Sam Jose. The promoter claimed to have ex- cessive railtoad experience as a builder. He lived as became a successful operat- or, and, it is said, managed to make suci an impression that several fat loans were n;mge to him before he dropped out of sight. Investigation is being made to discover whether the prisoner and the promoter are cne and the same person. The police strongly suspect they are identical. Ward’s examination on the charge of grand larceny has been twice continued, at his request, and is now set for to-mo: row morning in the police court. Al- though he claims to have $600,000 in sight awalling his call on a British bank, an :(thorll’;ey has not been employed in Ward's ehalf.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC CLOSES CARBONADO COAL MINES Increased Use of Oil as Fuel in Cal- ifornia Leads to This Result. TACOMA, May 13.—The Carbon Hiil coal mines at Carbonado, owned by the Scuthern Pacific Company, have = been closed because the Increased use of oil in California renders their output no longer necessary for use as fuel on South- ern Pacific trains and the San Francisco and Oakland ferry-boats. The Carbonado mines employed nearly 500 men, many of whom are thrown out of employment. There is a silver lining t§ the cloud at Carbonado, however, because seventy- five coke ovens are being built, and these will convert the coal heretofore shipped to San Francisco into coke, for wgflch there is a rapldly increasing demand from Northwestern smelters, The operation of the coke ovens will bring employment to about as many miners as previously. If the venture proves successful 200 more ovens will be buil Explosion in a Laundry.
