ERKELEY, April 4 —~The ath- letes of the University of alifornia junior class had no trouble to-day defeating athletes of the Uklah High School. Ukiah only showed All the rest were processions for Califo! At the end of the trials California had piled up 77 points ‘} to thelr opponents’ 30. On account of the recent wet weather | the track was heavy and fast time was { out of the question. ) California and Hagans of Uklah, which everybody supposed would furnish all the excitement for the day, turned out to be a | walk-away for Abadie. Abadie shot to | the front from the start and maintalned | a lead of five yards for three-quarters of | the distance, and then, seeing that Ifa- gans had no chance, eased up a little and crossed the tape two yards to the good. The time w 10 2-5 seconds, two-fifths of a second outside Abadie’s record. Ligda of California and Minor of California, the other competitors, finished third and | fourth, respectivel Weller of Ukiah won the only first for his school after a struggle ‘with Ligda of | California in the 440-yard run. Ligda was s | tired after his effort in the 100-yard dash, 0‘ but put up a game fight and was only a shade behind at the finish. In the mile run all but Tibbits of California ard | Hathaway and Sewell of Ukiah stopped. { Tibbits maintained the lead throughout.

VALLEJO, April 4—On one of the Mare Jsland hills, known as Main Top, a wire- less telegraphy station is being erected by the equipment department. At a point where the mast will be set up there is an elevation of 240 feet, and the spar itseif will-be 135 feet in length. It will be me~ curely anchored and an instrument rcom | will be built beside it. What make of in- | struments or when, they will be ready to | install cannot now be stated.

REGTOR TARGET FOR CRITICISM The Rev. H. Parrish Charged With Doing Politics in Church.

Herbert Parrish are the princi- pals in the row. le Kaeten reported Rev. Herbert Parrish | hols for alleged irregulari- | to Bishop ties in the annual parish election held ‘on December Bishop Nichols has tained the in his position and Kas- ten has withdrawn from the church in high dudgeon and declared that Father Parrish is assuming the autocratic power of a nope. FIRST POINT FOR VESTRY. The feud between pastor and late senior warden Is of some two years' standing. Together with others in the congregation, Kasten took exception to the attitudc as- sumed by the rector toward the vestry of the church. They claim that both by ord and deed Father Parrish gradually assumed a position of power over the lay corporation of the parish which could not be brooked in a Protgstanut body. Last October came the first mutterings of the storm,>when, upon the resignation of G. W. Reed from the position of treas- urer of the parish, the rector proposed to the vestry that all the finances of the urch be placed in his hands. Kasten, pported by John W. Allaire, J. Demp- sey and George Broderson, successfully resisted Father Parrish’'s efforts i a result, when the time approached v thelr re-election to the vestry they und that they were not candidates, through the personal influence of Father Parrish, according to thelr claims. The election of the men who succeeded them was unfairly influenced by Father Par- rish, according to the statement forward- ed by Kasten to Bishop Nichols, CHARGES ELECTION FRAUD. Kasten charged the rector on five counts, which are as follows: dne of the tellers appointed for count- ing ballots was himself a candidate. “The ballots were not deposited with the telier, but on a small stand in front of the rector. The ballots were examined by the rec- tor. “The meeting adjourned while the bal- lots were being ¢ounted and therefore there was no election. e “The votes for-vestrymen on the various ballots were not canvassed and no taily was kept of thems' To this sweeping charge of irregularity in the methods of condueting an election Father Parrish returned an 'equally vig- orous denial, refuting the validity of each and every accusation. Kasten then sub- mitted the affair to Bishop Nichols. With the unpleasant ghost of a parish strife haunting him, the Bishop submitted the knotty problem to Attorney A. N. Drown, chancellor of the diocese. His de- | clsion upholding the position of Father Parrish follows in full: RECTOR LEGALLY RIGHT. In general terms all that is neces- sary at a corporate election is that the will of the members be correctlv ascer- talned. The presumption omnla rite acta is applicable to corporate eiectlons and the courts are reluctant to question the valldity of the proceedings. 2. The courts hold almost unanimously that the Ineligibility or disqualification of an inspector, judge or other election offi- cer will not be ground for declaring an election void, in the absence of fraud or other misconduct affecting the result. “3. It Is a rule very gemerally recog- nized that the misconduct of election officers or irregularities on thelr part will | not vittate an election unless it appears f | | | | | I that the result was affecred thereby. “4. The mere fact that one of the tellers and the secretary of the meeting were candidates to be voted sufficlent ground for setting aside the election. lots, the leaving them unfolded and the lack of instructions as to how to vote, even if they were Irreguiarities, do not vitiate the election. “6. It was and before the result of the election had | been declared by the presiding officer. If, however, the judges of the election duly canvassed the ballots and certified fn writ- | ing the result of the election, or if it be | true that the persons claiming to have Dbeen elected were duly voted for, recetved the requisite number of votes, and 8o were actually elected, this irregularity on the part of the election officers will not, I think, be allowed to defeat the expressed will of the voters.” ¥ Bishop Nichols has accepted Drown's statement of the case as flnal, but Kas- ten, feeling that he cannot remain longer under a rector whom he deeems a tyrant, has withdrawn from the church and pre- dicts that others will soon follow. FIFTEEN YEARS' SENTENCE FOR A COLORED ROBBER Forger M. P. Clark Will Spend the Next Four Years in San Quentin.

H. Harri- man, president of the Southern Pacifie Company, and Henry | E. Huntington, vice | president of the same road and head of the Huntington-Hellman syndicate, which controls the great system of electric rail- | ways in Southern California. Huntington has cast his gauntlet at the feet of the New York magnate and sent | him the information that there shall be no compromise until the supremacy of forces has been finally settled. It is to be a fight on lines financial and politieal and bodes to be a fierce one, threatening to disrupt the political alliances of the State, over which the chief counsel of the Southern Pacific Company, Willlam Herrin, has so long dominated and to In- | \ | o | | volve the president of that corporation in troubies that are likely to make him soon forget such-a comparatively insig- nificant affair as his present troubles with James Keene. Huntington has declared that the poiit- ical relgn of Willlam Herrin in Califor- | nia fs at an end and that he purposes to demonstrate the fruth of his assertion at the coming elections and in the legis- lative halls at Sacramento. In fact the battle is al dy on between the repre- | sentatives of millions, and from now on it will be watched with keen interest by the 1 people of the State. In arraying himself against Harriman the Southern California street rallway | magnate has not been guided by any de- | sire for personal political aggrandizement. He alms not to be the boss of State Re- publican politics. He has simply sent his defy to Harriman and inaugurated a battle as a matter of protection to his interests in the Southern California, | against which he has liscovered aligned | [ the' forces of Hairiman, who, he feels, | {18 plotting to ruin him. | BITTER WAR THREATENED. | | Huntington 1s a fighter, as all who have | | had business relations with him know, and that he will wage bitter war upon | his enemy is a cel | phasized ip his preparations for battle | and his caustic utterances directed tg the | president of the company, in which he fs imself still an important factor. | From mild competition there has de- veloped between the two men a feeling of bitter rivalry, dating back two years | and having its origin in the construction of street raliways by Huntington in Los Angeles, The latter were at first regard- ed by Harriman in the light of local en- | terprises, which would in the end deveiop the immediate surroundings of the south- ern metropolis and eventually benefit the traffic lines of the Southern Pacific Com- | pany. Finding his street roads were be- coming paying investments and recelving | encouragement from the people of that | section of the State, to extend them, Huntington and his assoclate, Banker Hellman of this city, began carrying out elaborate plans for invading the ter- ritory north of Los Angeles, and to bid for both passenger and freight traffic of the sgections through which the extensions | of their electric systems were run. | Before the Harriman syndicate had realized it, the Huntington-Hellman en- terprises had grown to a magnitude that fairly startled the steam-railroad man- agers, whose interests were being jeop- ardized. ! Harriman conceifved the immediate ne- | cessity of blocking what he evidently foresaw would be a dangerous competitor | to his own lines. He hastened a confer- ! ence between himself and the heads of his railroad departments, Kruttschnitt, Herrin, Stubbs and Hood. How to curb | the raptdly encroaching competition of | the electric lines, directed by the nephew of the late noted raliroad builder, Harri- | man and his managers at first were un-| able to suggest, but finally the cunning | brain of the Scuthern Pacific Company’s chief counsel devised a method which | they were not long in putting in opera- tion. It was nothing more than a plan to fight the competition of the Hunting- ton-Hellman syndicate with the lltter'!l own weapons, mamely a rival electric sys- tem. HARRIMAN APPROVES. | ‘Harriman approved the plan, which was | assigned to Herrin to execute and he pro- ceeded to carry it out. For years the; Soutkern Pacific Company has success- fully downed its opponents in traffic in California and buoyed by past victories and assured of ample funds and every | strategy would have to I ) SOUTHERN PA- STREET PRESIDENT OF CIFIC ELECTRIC RAILWAY MAGNATE. | |} | | i po- | that | went to work. It was readily realized by the as litical director 6f the Southern Pac be resorted but in this he overestimated his own | cleverness and brought his project under | a scrutinizing light that provoked a breach between the president and vice | president of the railroad company, which means the bitterest fight that the public of California probably has ever witnessed. Herrin was slow in beginning. Harri-| man was impatient. ““We must be care ful.” suggested the chief couns ry,” commanded the president. Mean- while the Huntington-Heliman company was planning to build a new electric line from Los Augeles up to and through the | San Fernando Valley, tapping points that meant vital results to the traffic of the Southern Pacific Company. Harriman was at once aroused to the need of quick action and so advised his law department. Quite unexpectedly to Huntington and | Hellman, two weeks ago a petition was filed with the Board of Public Works of Los Angeles asking for a franchise for six great trans-city street railways, to be operated by electricity arnd to carry pas- sengers at the nominal fare of 3 cents. The petition created a sensation among | the citizens of Los Angeles, who wers not long in fully appreciating the magni- tude of its purposes and In reaiizing that it meant a dangerous competitor to the Huntington-Hellman systems. AGAINST NEW PROJECT. It is needless, however, to state that the people were not wholly In sympathy with the proposed project, for they have 1eason to support the enterprises inaugu- ruted In their section of the State by Huntington and Heilman, Inasmuch as they had been responsible for the devel- opment of former uninhabited districts and had shown repeatedly a disposition to accord the residents of Los Angeles | and its suburbs every possibie facility for rapid and convenient transit. It was soon made clear to the public trat the proposed new project had in view the paralleilng of the Huntington- | Hellman lines, and that the offer of a 3- cent fare was one means to be adopted to diminish the popuiarity of the latter. But the view taken by the people was a | casual one at that, and developed nothing | of the real motive behind the petition. | To the Huntington-Hellman company, however, it soon became apparent that | some great alm other than plain business | purposes was father to the projected street rallway opposition, and the shrewd. | est men In the employ of the Los Angetes | syndicate were soon at work unraveling | the mystery, that finally revealed the| hand of W. F. Herrin of this eity. ‘The petition presented to the Board of Public Works of Los Angeles County was signed by W. M. Garland, who at that (ime was comparatively unknown in that city. He clalmed that he was seeking a frun- | stacle, and, if possil ! for rest of a syndicate, at the head of which mes intimated was ohn J. Mitchell, the Chicago raiirodd magnate, who buflt some of the smailer street raliways in Los Angeles, and ctier occasions he ailowed the report go abroad that the Elkins traction dicate of Philadelphix was his backer. A HARRIMAN SCHEME. untington-Heliman' forces afier a investigation developed beyund doubt that the project was pure and sim- ple a Harriman scheme, concocted in the mind of W. F. Herrin, to place in the way ot the local companies every possible ob- e, force the powers behind these enterpris to abandon plans further extensions of their lines through territory which the Southern Pa- cific Company deemed its own by rigit of prior invasion. Garland’'s ldentity and connection with the Southern Pacifle Company in the antic undertaking to obstruct the pro- ss of Improvements being made by the Huntington-Hellman syndicate were soon established the full satisfaction of Henry E. Huntington. Years ago Garland on to - to | pessible facility within the command of | for the Santa Fe Company in the con- | the raliroad influence, the lawyer quietly | struction of its Western extensions, and later he carried out the plans for building a road from Globe to Gila Valley, in Ari- zona, owned by the Southern Pacific. Having served his masters -faithtully, Harriman and Herrin conceived the idea of using him to work out thelr scheme to ruin If necessary the Interests of Hunt- ington and Hellman. He was quletly sent to Los Angeles and there furnished the sinews for attacking the companies that were threatening the welfare of the Ha riman lines. With proof positive in his sion, Huntington summoned to Los Angeles I. W. Hellman, and a council of war_followed. Huntington declared In emphatic terms his determination to fight the Harriman syndicate to the bitter end, and having convinced his financlal asso- ciate of the need of a firm stand he set to work to prepare for battle. POWER OF RAILWAY. No ome better than Huntington knows the power of the Southern Pacific in Call- fornia politics, and ne was quick to real- ize that political power would be the rieans adopted by Harriman and Herrin in thwarting him in his enterprises. For years he had served as assistant to the dent of the Southern Pacific, during ifetime of his uncle, and was enabled to weigh correctly the cunning of Herrin in matters where the company sought to ga. He was not long In deciding upon a line of action. Wasting no time, He sent a message to Harriman In New York to the effect that he purposed to tolerate none of the underband political methods of the Southern Pacific Company and its legal department, that the latter had in an un- fair way sought to obstruct the interests ot Hellman and himself and that he pur- posed to fight back with all the strength at his command. If Harriman at first had reason to doubt the sincerity of Huntington’s threat he was soon made; to realize that the Southern California rall- way magnate was in earnest. Hardly had the warning been sent to Harriman before the Influence of Hunt- ington and his assoclates was being feit in various parts of the State. With the pe ! assistance of the general managers of hils clectric roads, Jobn A. Muir apd Kpes Randolph, former officlals of the South- era Pacific, who resigned from the ldst named company to go with Huntingten, the latter was soon at work gathering about him the strongest possible politiga! influences in the southern part of the State and reaching out for additicnal ferees farther north.
