Garret McEnerney Reluc- tantly Supports President Wheeler. An important session of the University Regents was held at the Mark Hopkins Institute yesterday afternoon. Guy C. Earl presided. The roll call was respond- ed to by Regents I. W. Hellman, Chester Rowell, A." W. Foster, John E. Budd, Garret McEnerney, John A. Britton, Peter C. Yorke, Charles W. Slack, Dr. Ellin- wood, J. B. Reinstein, R. J. Taussig, C. S. Wheeler, Phoebe Hearst, Guy C. Earl, Thomas J. Kirk and President Benjamin Ide Wheeler. Many appointments to fill vacancies were proposed and ratified. Projects for the- disbursement of considerable sums of money without reference to the judgment of the finance committe called forth a protest from I. W. Hellman. Regent Mc- Enerney reluctantly voted to sustain President Wheeler in the dismissal of three ladigs who have been employed in cataloguing the library of the university, but indicated that he would hereafter ask for investigation concerning changes of this character. President Wheeler nominated for cata- lcguers Miss Jessie A. Carroll, B. A., Wil- mington College, Wilmington, Ohio, grad- uate of School and now cataloguer in the Van Wormer Library of the University of Cincinnati; Miss Lilllan Burt, graduate of lowa College, Grinnell, Iowa, and Miss Louisa W. Katz, a graduate of Cornell University. The lary to be paid each 20 per annum. The nominations were confirmed by the board. Regent Mc- Enerney, however, in this manner: “These library to fill vacancies caused by the dismissal of old employes.

The labora- | tories will be equipped by the generosity of Dr. M. Herzstein of San Francisco. Another friend of the university has pro- | vided the salary of the chair of physiol- ogy for three years. Professor Ostwald's visit to California will-be an event of | much interest to all the scientific world. | He comes to America for the sole purpose of delivering this dedication address. | _The president announced the following donations: s Hearst, $1000 to Lick Observatory; Mrs. | Johr Valentine, 500 volumes on money and political economy: Willlam, M.

The summer | of 1901 he spent in Europe. carrying on re- search work in Berlin, and visiting the more important engineering works of Germany, England and Scotland. The summer of 1902 he spent with Moran Bros. at Seattle, doing special work on designs for the battleship Nebraska. He resigned from New York University Jan- uary 1 last, and is at present with the Risdon Iron Works in this city.

During the coming summer he will be field inspector in en- tomology in Ilifnois. President Wheeler announced that the allowance in the budget had not been ex- ceeded in the salaries recommended. CALIFORNIA HALL. The subject of spending the sum of $250,000 allowed by the last Legislature for the construction of California Hall engaged the prolonged attention of the board. It was finally resolved to hold a special meeting of the board Tuesday evening, June 2, to consider the subject. 1t was the sense of the regents that im- mediate construction was desirable. Re- gents Hellman and Foster advised the building and grounds committee against acceptance of plans the execution of which would exceed the allowance of ,000. ‘fi'l?he board conferred on Regent Britton authority to sign requisitions in the ab- sence of President Wheeler. l.e latter leaves for the East to-day. He will pre- side at the meeting of the National TEducational Association in Boston. A proposition emanating from the build- ing and grounds committee for the ‘ex- penditure of $50,000 for a central heating and power plant was discussed. Regent Reinstein explained the necessity for a heating plant. Mrs. Hearst maintained that the present system was defective and inadequate. She believed that a central plant with new boflers should be estab- lished as a measure of safety and econ- omy. PROTEST OF COMMITTEE. Regent Hellman insisted that proposi- tions involving the expenditure of so much money should be referred to the finance committee. He said: I shall not remain on the finance com- mittee if you go ahead spending money ‘when there is no money in the fund to.| meet- the obligations.” - He spoke of the policy of reference to the committee which had prevailed during versity to take charge of the newly es- | his twenty years' mwc- on the board WAGE QUESTION TILL PENDING United Railroads Hold- ing Out Against an Increase. There was an air of rest around the executive offices of the United Raliroads all day vesterday and those selected to attempt to adjust the differences between the members of the street carmen’s union and the United Railroads were in close session until nearly 6 o’clock last night. Matters are far from adjusted and it is the earnest wish on both sides that some small technicality will not arise that may result in a serious breach. The membefs of the local street cay- men's union want more pay for thelr ser- vices and shorter hours of labor. The United Railroads of San Francisco, con- trolled by Brown Brothers of Ng® York, il @ and hoped that the regents would adhere to established rules. At the suggestion of Regents McEner- ney and Britton consideration of the sub- ject was deferred until the special meet- ing to be held June 23. Recommendations of the Lick Observa- tory committee brought about a discus- ston in which Regents Slack, Budd, Mc- Enerney, Foster, Wheeler, Britton, Row- ell and Hellman participated. The im- pression was created that salaries had been increased without consulting the flnance committee. President Wheeler explained that the amount allowed by the budget was not exceeded. A percentage of several increases was payable from the Carnegle fund, over which the regents bhad no control. Regent Slack in deference to Mr. Hell- man moved a reference of the report to the finance committee, but subsequently the report authorizing the increases wax adopted at the suggestion of the finance committee. MHOON’S RESIGNATION. The resignation of Major J. B. Mhoon as counsel of the board was presented and a long discussion ensued as to the advisability of accepting it. In the let- ter of resignation Major Mhoon recom- mends that Osgood Putnam, who has been attending to the legal business of the board for the last two years, be ap- pointed as his successor. In the letter and in the discussion which followed its reading Major Mhoon's long connection with the university was dwelt upon. His dutles began during the ad- ministration of President Durant, a gen- eration ago. 7 Regent Budd moved the acceptance of the resignation. Regents Reinstein and Slack held that there was no necessity at this time for acceptance. There was a tie vote on the question of acceptance. Regents voting to accept were Kirk, Taussig, Britton, Budd, Earl, Ellinwood and McEnerney—T. Regents Rowell and Yorke were excus- ed from voting. Seven voted against ceptance. Dr. Rowell said he would vote to accept. Mr. McEnerney. was consid- ering the advisability. of changing his vote when the whole subject mattery on motion of Judge Slack, was postponed un- til the August meeting. The board ad- journed to meet Tuesday evening, June 23, will increase its'operative expenses about half a million dollars a year if it grants the demands of the men, and the corpora- tion does not intend paying out this money unless absolutely forced to. Con- cessions have been granted on both sides, after many conferences, but the main fact in reference to higher wages and shorter hours has not been settled and both sides are far from coming to a sat- isfactory arrangement. CARMEN HOLD MEETING. President Cornelius and the other mem- bers of the union who are serving on what was termed a ‘“sub-committee” dropped out of the conferences yesterday, and the union was solely represented by President W. D. Mahon and E. J. Liver- nash. The corporation was represented by Patrick Calhoun of New York and David Young of New Jersey. both of whom came all the way from the East to attend the conferences. In an attempt to get the true feeling of the members of the union the officers of the association circulated around the car houses yesterday little slips of paper and each street car employe was requested to fill out a blank, stating how much his living expenses had increased in the last few months. The members of the union Feld a ‘meeting last night at the Turk-street Temple and the representa- tives of the sub-committee reported how they bad progressed in thelr negotiations with the United Railroads. The hall was crowded and many stirring speeches were macde. DIFFERING OPINIONS. AL the close of the conference yester- ay afternoon of those who will com- pose the arbitration board, E. J. Liver- nash gave out the following statement on the behalf of the Street Carmen's Unlon: We are now gettingdown to the main issues of the differences, namely, hours of labor and rates of wages. We will again take up the subject to-morrow morning. The subject is getting full of technicalities. satisfied with the results as far as they have gone. I sev no reagon why the whole matter should not be satisfactorily adjusted, . International President Mahon and Mr. Livernash spoke brightly of prospects of adjustment, but on the other hand offi- clals of the street car corporation hinted that matters were not progressing as fa- verably as they might. Mr. Cathoun was very reticent about the whole subject and guardedly .avoids outl'ring at this time the course the United Railroads will pyrsue. “What do the men wofking on the cars say?" he queried, when being interviewed. Do they really expect to get their wages raised? How does the general public feel about the matter?” —_—e————————— WELL-ENOWN BANKING MAN DIES AT A GREAT AGE Albert Montpellier, for Twenty Years Connected With the Grangers’ Bank, Passes Away. Albert Montpellier, who for much more than a generation was well known in this city, passed away at his late residence, 1425 Webster street, on Sunday after a few days’ illness. Death was due to old age, Mr. Montpellier at the time of his demise being in his seventy-eighth year. The deceased came to the United States forty years ago from France, and took a prominent part in the grain business when he arrived in San Francisco. His intimacy with the business prompted the directors of the Grangers' Bank to ap- point him secretary, and later he rose to be cashier and manager of the institu- tion. He was conmected with the bank for upward of twenty yvears, holding his position as manager until the bank failed, in 1895. The cause of the collapse was attributed to the bank advaneing money on crop mortgages and a succession of crop failures that followed. Montpellier took the disaster to heart deeply.
