Wheeler said to-Jay: “The arrangement for President Roose- velt'’s visit to the university was made with me personally as long ago as last October. The commences exercises et for May 12, and the Pres d all his California plans with thgt day in view. To alter this arrange- ment would mean that the whole plan would have to be altered. It seems to me that we ought to arrange our plans to conform to those of the President. He certainly would not like it If we interfered with his ftinerary. “I don't see why the Oakiand and San Francisco committees ' think evervthing depends upon me. The date has been fixed for the Pres ent’s visit, and that ought to consult. If we consult ¥ our own | it might appear to the President an in- delicate way of doing things.” As the plans now stand President Roose- velt will attend the commencement exer- cises on the morning of May 13, after which he will lunch with President Wheel- er and then.go to Oakland. The arrange- ments for the reception are in the hands of a committee of which President Wheel- er is chairman and Anson B. Blake, J. W. Richards, Frank M. Wilson, Rufus P. Jenning and Colonel Henry de H. Waite are members. Professor Frank Soule is the chairman of the committee having in charge the arrangements for the com- mencement exercises, his assistants being Colonel Henry de H. Waite, Professor Ed- mund O'Neil, Professor W. A. Setchell, Professor Walter E. Magee, John Galen Howard, Professor Willlam D. Armes and Lincoln Hutchinson. Joseph Le Conte and John Muir have accepted President Wheeler's invitation to accompany him with President Roosevelt into the Yosemite Valley. Both of thcse lemen are familiar with every point ge of interest in the valley and their knowl- edge of it will assist the President. In anticipation of President Roosevelt's presence at the commencement day. exer- cises at the university, the committee that President Wheeler has entrusted with the arrangements for that interesting event has begun even at this early day to get| | its plans in order. So far the commit- tee only knows In a general way what fs going to be on that day, but as time pro- gresses the detalls will take definite shape and the public will be informed of the plans Professor Frank Soule is the chairman of the committee. With his colleagues on the committee, he has glanced over the situation and become informed that the President will visit Berkeley on the morn- ing of May 13 and deliver his address to the students. So, with the knowledge of this definite arrangement, tne committee is going to proceed on its wa “Ir's a little too early to say just what will be done,” said Professor Soile to-| day. *"Wait until the committee gets fur- | ther along and then we'll let you know | about the plans. I only know of one thing that will be done, and that is the exer- cises will be held in the Hearsc amphithe- ater. It may not be completed by the time the President arrives, but we will cover up the unfinished work with decorations. The paths leading to the amphitheater will be decorated, oo, but just how nobody knows yer.” The committee that will assist Professor Soule has been divided into committees of one, with each a speclal department to look after, as follows: Anson S.

HELENA, Mont., April 9.—A dispatch to- day from Gardiner says that when Presi- dent Roosevelt was last seen by any one | except the soldiers of his escort he was “hiking” over the hills of the park In a mad gallop,-pursued by the troop of cav- alry comprising the escort. Major Pitcher soon after arriving at Gar- diner: “Major, they tell me that the anteiope and deer are so tame here that you can go right up to them. That's what I want —I want to get right up to them.” Soon ufter starting for Fort Yellowstor.e the President sighted a herd of elk a mile away and set off after them on a fierce gallop, the cavalry escort trying hard to keep up with him. #No information will be given out con- cerning the President’s stay in the pank,” said Secretary Loeb, and he meant it. The President may have some big game hupting In the park, in fact, it is almost a certainty. the park, mountain lions, wolves and coyotes are regarded as legitimate prey and are killed by the soldiers and scouts ident and Major Pitcher are going on a big lion hunt. otwithstanding that numerous notices ad been given to the outside world that no newspaper men would be allowed in his way in yesterday. He rode a horse and had a dog with bim. The man was airested before he had proceeded far and the dog was shot. ent was released. When the President's train arrived at Livingston yesterday a tramp dropped from the roof of the President’s private car. He explained that he had ridden from Miles City. President v-hen informed of the incident, remarked “The poor fellow probably was ‘broke.’ If T had seen him I would have been tempted to help him a trifle.” |OFFERS TO PAY FOR PIPE-LINE PRIVILEGE Standard Oil Company Makes Propo- sition to Supervisors’ Committee, ‘Which Postpones Action. The Standard Ofl Company made yes- terday a flat offer to the Supervisors' Street Committee to pay $250 for the priv- ilege of laying two pipe lines in Sixteenth street for the purpose of conveying crude | cil. Supervisor Braunhart wanted the company to pay $500 yearly to the city fcr the repair of the street, but the rep- | resentative of the oil company refused. | The company was given one week for | farther consideration. The Assoclated Oll Company, which has petitioned for a similar privilege, agreed 1o keep the street in repair for a width of two feet and the length of the pipe | line, but the committee postponed action | on_the application for one week. The committee referred the complaint {cf Mrs. Mary Linde Craig that certain persons were excavating below the of- | ficlal grades of Clipper and Douglass streets to the Board of Works with in- structions to take immediate steps to pre- | vent further blasting if the statements | contained in the communication are true. | The committee reported In favor of a | resolution providing for a hearing before the board on April 20 of the petition of preperty owners for the opening of Fifth avenue to the military reservation.

The torpedo boat Pike was yesterday put through the three hours’ submerged run at full speed. It was practically a | test of her storage batteries to see if she ! could maintain her speed for that length’ | of time, and although there was a stiff i breeze from the southwest and a strong | eross, choppy sea running, she met the demands upon her and scored up to 7.20 knots, giving her .20 of a knot to the good. In this trial she was allowed to use a | periscope. The Government regulations allow a vessel when on trial to rise to tie surface three times in two miles and' not to remain on the surface for a period longer than one minute when the run is made in an absolutely open sea. In the present instance the trial was made in close waters, not free from obstacles, and the board was allowed to use its own discretion in the premises. During the run the boat rose to the surface tweive times to get her bearings, the connng tower only being visible. Speed was noted by the officials in the boat, time being observed by the number of amperes and volts during the run and the required revolutions according to the standardizing. The test yesterday to all intents and purposes ends the officlal trials of both boats, although the Pike will to-day do what is termed a twelve hour endurance run. —————— WILL TEST QUESTION OF TICKET SCALPING Adolph Ottinger Obtains Writ of Error to United States Supreme Court, A writ of error was obtained from Judge Hebbard yesterday by Attorneys George D.

WASHINGTON, April 8.—Further start- ling revelations have resulted from the investigations which have been going on for some time Into case No. 2 in the Post- Detafled charges have been filed at the | department alleging the existence of a | powerful “promotion syndicate,” whose operations have included the postal ser- vice of the entire country and whose methods and Influence have rendered | practically null and vold thes“merit sys- tem,” which is nominally in effect, The charges allege that the promotion | syndicate is operated from Washington by officers of the salary and allowance divi- sion, of which George W. Beavers, who | recentiy resigned under pressure, was the | head. The New York postoffice is sald to have been the largest field of operations of the syndicate, but its power and influ- ence have heen exerted large and small, all over the country.

It is alleged that careful investigation of | the 1776 promotions made in the New York | office alone on March 2, as a result of | the annual readjustment of salaries by the salary and allowance division, will disclose the fact that these advances, as a rule, wers not made on merit, but as | the result of the operations of the syndi- | cate. The Washington “ring” is sald to have | agents in varfous other postoffices where operation. The money so obtained, it is | alleged, was pooled and pocketed by the | officers conducting the syndicate after the agents’ commissions had been deducted. 1t is expressly staied in the charges that Postmaster Van Cott 1s altogether inno- cent of any connmection with the syndi- cate and that its operations were con- ducted without his knowledge. The | charges are exceedingly circumstantial. | In addition to naming Weil as the New York agent of the syndicate, a number of clerks in the New York office are men- tioned as having bought their recent pro- motions, and It is asserted that all alle- gations contained in the document can be verified upon investigation. A rigid Inquiry Into this feature of scan- dal No. 2 is now in progress and early developments are expected.
