Mrs, White, Mrs. Johnson’s mother, tes- tified that he threatened *to blow the roof off her house,” and produced the letter which called for the Judge's in- dignation. 7 ‘When he began to dog the footsteps of Charles Bird, the husband of a friend of Mrs. Johnson, Bird had Johnson ar- rested.

Work upon this extension has been de- layed' and there is even some doubt whether Santa Fe cars can be brought into Oakland by January 1. The E. B. & A. L. Stone Company, which has the contract for the work, will work night shifts from now on. An electric lighting plant is being put in with 150 arc lights, and not an hour of the day or night will now be lost. The dynamo has been in- stalled at the general grading camp near the old Red House on4he Contra Costa County line. The = principal delay has been in the overhead cross of the South- ern Pacific Company's tracks at Stege. The foundation of.the Berkeley depot at University avenue is in and the build- ing will be completed before the Santa Fe is ready to operate into Oakland and through Berkeley. Nothing has been done yet toward the construction of the Oakland depot at Fortieth street and San Pablo avenue. { ® { | WILITARY “CUTS” CARRY PENALTY Eight Students Evade Drill and Get Sus- pended. Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Nov. T. The man who ‘‘cuts” military at the University of California will have to take his medicine, just as much as though he | cut mathematics or physies or any other study. The rule has just been exempli- fled in a striking way by the suspension i of elght students, who tried by various means to wiggle out of military duty, but were finally eaught in the act. True enough, most of the recreant eight got back after promising Colonel Henry de H. Waite, commandant of the cadet corps, to be good in the future. Of the suzpended the most important is E. R. Abadie Jr., the crack short-distance sprinter. This is Abadie’s last year in college, but. he is still doing the military duty, from whieh seniors are always exempt. He is still doing the “grind” be- | cause he was excused innumerable times path. But he dces not take to it kindly and now he has had to make his obels- ance to Colonel Waite, who removed the shackles after twenty-four hours. The recorder’s office is reticent about the names of the othcr seven suspended and they have managed so far to keep their identity concealed. ——————— To Help Sdn Souci’s Sick.

It depicts a beautiful, b woman, rich in all the attractiveness of and typically an American Girl. The ideal Grecian profile, the rich coloring of her au- burn hair, the carelessly draped opera gown. exposing her delicately chiseled neck and bust, all combine to give the study a distinct character. The background could not be more aptly described than by the sayipg—it's Bry- son’s—as in his execution and handling of colors he seems to.impart to his creations a bit of life and dash seldom attained by contemporary artists. REMEMBER—The publisher has no possible way of knowing just how many of this set to order: the best he can do is to guess; and as it will take weeks for addi- tional orders to be refilled, it seems proper to suggest that ev one wanting t beautiful “Series in Gold” ought to order from his carrier, newsdealer or 'phone this office in ample time.

The fact that the proposition to deliver young Wentz for $100,000 came from what is now regarded as a wholly unreliable source leaves the family again at sea. The theory now is that Wentz was murdered and the body, it is feared, may have been consumed in a coke oven or furnace of some moonshine distillery. —————— SUISUN, Nov. 7.—The Board of Town Trus- tees of Dixon has passed an ordinance for the closing of salcons at midnight and causing them to remain closed untfl 5 o'clock In t morning. —— i The most distinctly German city in the United States is Milwaukee, whers mors than half the population s of German stock.
