The expected storm among the regents of the University of California over the report of the special committee on medi- cal status was delayed at yesterday's meeting by the fact that a majority of the committeemen had not had a chance to act upon the measure submitted them and the matter was put over to | the next regular meeting of the regents. The committee is expected to recommend | whether or not Toland College is to con- | tinue its existence as a department of | the university, and the receipt of its re- port by the regents is ecalculated before- | hand to cause serious disagreement. | The regents acted upon the recommen- | dations of President Wheeler as follows: The title of Dr. Irving Hardesty was changed from instructor in anatomy to assistant professor of anatomy without change of sala Miss Jessica Peixotto, | who took the degree of doctor of philos- | ophy from the Unjversity of California in 190, was appointed lecturer in eco- nomics at $500 a vear.

Presi- | dent Wheeler also recommended that he | be empowered to appoint a reader in American history for the rest of the year at a salarv of $140. | Upon motion of the regents votes of | thanks were given John Martin & Co. of this city for their gift to the univer-| sity of a thirty-kilowatt rotary converter | and to Warren B.

Justice of the Peace Daniels decided yesterday that the Statute of Limitation was an_ effectual bar to the recovery by Mary Barker of $299 loaned to Thomas Tighe and his wife some twenty years ago. The plaintiff testified that she had loaned the money to the defendants on condition that it was to be returned to her on the death of Tighe's mother.
