R President Wheeler Points Out Danger of Fire to Buildings. R The regular montaly meeting of the Re- gents of the Lniversity of Caufornia was held yesterday afternoon at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art, on California street. Regent Chester Rowell presided, and those present were Regents Alden Ander- son, A. S. Fisk, R. J. Taussig, J. A. Britton, John E. Budd, F. W. Dohrmann, Guy C. Earl, C. N. Ellinwood, 1. W. Hellman, Garrety. Enerney, J. B. Rein- stein, Charles S. Wheeler, P. C. Yorke and President B. I. Wheeter of the Uni- versity of California. The most important work done by the Regents was the adoption of a resolution reconveying certain lands near Jackson, Amador County, formerly used as an ex- perimental station, to the orjginal donors. President Wheeler of the State Univer- presenteu his report, in which he | the experimental station in question and that co-operative work with ranchers and farmers had caused the experimental sta- tion to be of no further value. The work of testing the varieties of fruits, grapes, grains and forage plants suitable for the Sierra foothill region had been carried on for fifteen years and the results had been given to the agricultural popuiation of the State. ABOLISH SUB-STATIONS. The Regen so decided to adopt the recommendations of President Wheeler that J. H. Barber, in charge of the Sierra foothill sub-station, be transferred alifornia sub-station at to the thern Pomona, as assistant superintendent. J. W. Mills, foreman at Pomona, was given the title of superintendent of the South- ern California sub-station. r he is to be engaged lz y in the direction of the unive: v's co-operative field work in the orchards of Southern California. A formerly a Knowlton of Chico, aculty of the University appointed patron of tation, R. 8. v, temporarily appointed instructor in the department of edu- n, was appointed to hold his position t of the fiscal year. President Wheeler drew the attention of the Regents to the absolute need of fire-proof for the university. t Wheeler stated that on the pre- the university buildings had angered by the burning of a cot- tage on the grounds and that but for the extension of the university water system buildings might have been de- stroyed President Wheeler said the town supply of water was entirely inadequate for fire purposes. He also spoke of the danger e botany build- ing, where a valuable colledtion of Cali- fornia fauna was stored. He urged that botany department. The Regents took President Wheeler's statements under ad- visement. MONTGOMERY AVENUE BONDS.| The finance committee reported that A. Holliday had made an offer to collect the money represented by the Montgomery avenue bonds, issued by the city and county of San Francisco. The regents hold $22,000 worth of these bonds and Hol- is willing to try to collect them and if successful take one-half of the pro- ceeds. The committee favored giving Holliday the power to act. Regent Hellman said the bonds were Many owners had agreed to allow Holliday to try to recover the amount of the bonds. Regent McEnerney gaid the chance of giving authority to Holliday to act. Regent Charles S. Wheeler was op- posed to taking any action that might af- fect the titles to certain property owners in San Francisco and thus cause antag- onism to the university. The resolution to allow Holliday to proceed as regarding the bonds held by the university pre- vailed. The sale of the medical college building on Stockton street by the finance com- mittee for the sum of $1750 was confirmed by the regents. The recommendation of the finance committee that $100 be appropriated to the department of Celtic philology was adopted. Routine bills recommended for payment by the finance committee were approved. DECIDES TO APPEAL CASE. Attorney Cope of the law firm of Cope and made a tender of a check for $10,000 in settlement of a suit in the San Mateo Superior Court on behalf of A. 8. Bald- win. The litigation was in connectlon with certain swamp lands claimed by the uni- versity regents and Baldwin. The de- cision of the referee appointed by the urt awarded certain portions of the lands to the contestants and ordered Baldwin to pay the university the sum of $10000, with interest and costs. As the case is now on appeal to the Supreme Court the tender of payment by Baldwin was declined. Regent Dohrmann recommended that a new boiler for heating purposes be erected in the college of pharmacy at a cost not to exceed $500. There was some doubt as # whether the regents or the State should pay for the improvement and tle matter was referred to the finance com- mittee with power to act. The regents decided to lease five acres of land at Petaluma from G. 8. McNear for use as an experimental agricultural station. Regent Budd introduced - a resolution that the committees on finance and grounds and buildings be increased from three to five members. He stated that an increase of membership in the two com- mittees was needed in order to allow the requisite work to be accomplished. There was some division of sentiment by the regents as to the adoption of the reso- lution, some favoring and others oppos- ing the change as suggested by Regent Budd. # The matter was voted on and it was de- cided to increase the committee on grounds and buildings, but not to in- crease the mmlttee on finance. The regents then adjourned to meet on the second Tuesday in December. Suks Husband for Support. Frangiska Lorenz, who was marri Rudolph Lorenz in Germany eleven ;3.3‘.’ ago, filed a suit for maintenance against him yesterday. She says that sincs Octo- ber 12 jast, when he deserted her, she has had to depend upon her own efforts and tha ciarity of others for her support.

Lai'ge Amount I8 Taken While Establishment Is Closed. Suspicion Falls on Ex-Em- ploye Who Once Had a Key. —_— The police at the Central station are investigating a burglary that occurred in Coppe’s restaurant, 619 Montgomery street, some time Monday night. The burglars secured $250 in cash from where | it had been concealed in one of the table | drawers in the dining-room. Suspicion falls on an ex-employe and detectives are searching for him, The proprietor of the restaurant on clos- ing soon after § o'clock Monday night took all the money in the establishment and placed it in a dining-room table draw- er, where thieves would be most unlikely to look for it. He has been in the habit | of doing this for some time past and was not aware that any person knew of its hiding place. Yesterday morning when he opened his place for business the money was gone, and the police were im- mediately notified and detectives placed on the case. The detective ascertained that a for- mer employe of the restaurant, who was discharged a short time ago, was in pos- session of a key to the place during his employment there. however, was surrendered at the time of his discharge. The detectives point to the fact, how- ever, that he may have had a duplicate made and retained it for future use. The | proprietor believes his ex-empl have known where the money wa but he is not positive on that point. | — e————— YOUNG WOMEN CLAIM THEY | WERE INSULTED ON STREET Arrested for the Of- fense.

Stuart Co., FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1903 MAY BE HEAD OF ALMSHOUSE E. Brother of Mayor E. Schmitz to Secure Plum. Om—— Office of Registrar Will Prob- ably Be the Reward of Morris Levy. / s ST Notwithstanding the fact that Mayor Schmitz has definitely announced that he will not take up the question of his ap- various boards and commissions of the municipal government until after December 15 next, gossip still continues to discuss the names of those who stand splendid chances of picking some of the official plums which his | Honor will have at his disposal next Jan- uary. It is said with an assurance that is al- most positive that when the Mayor has assumed control of the Board of Health | with the appointment of two new mem- | bers Frank Schmitz, the Mayor's brother, will be at ence appointed superintendent of the City and County Almshofise to succeed William J. Keily, who will suc- cumb to the fortunes of political warfare. Schmitz was formerly building superin- tendent, but was forced out of his posi tion owing to the stand taken by Pre dent Casey of the Board of Works in re- | taliation for the abolishing of the posi- | tion of superintendent of streets formerly | held by Benjamin Heath. Casey declared | that the position of building ulcr(n(elh; dent could be done away with also and | Frank Schmitz lost his job. The Mayor | his | brother appointed superintendent of the Almshouse. It s understood that Mrs. | Fabian, at present matron of the City | Prison, will be matron of the Almshouse | as soon as her marriage to Frank Schmitz | es place, their engagement having al- | ready been announced. | Morris Levy will in all probability be | appointed registrar of voters to succeed Thomas J. Walsh. Levy was very gromi- nent in Mayor Schmitz's fight both at the election when the latter first ran and at the last one, when he was re-elected. Levy was formerly chief deputy under | former Tax Collector Scott and was a | faithful city official. | Now that Frank Schmitz is almost sure | to be superintendent of the Almshouse | John Daughney, who was at one time | considered for the place, will in all prnh-i | ability be named on one of the com- missions. Thomas Reagan, at present Police Commissioner, is under considera- tion for member of the Board of Public Works to succeed Manson, owing to the fact that the Mayor will be unable to ap- | first named board because of the prohibi- | tive charter provision preventing the pointment of any election commissio until one year after the expiration of his term. | In addition to the names of others who | have been mentioned in The Call as being | certain to receive appointments, it may be noted that Dr. A. S. Adler, who was once appointed on the Health Board by Mayor Schmitz in his attempt to remove | the old bgard, would like to be City Phy- | sician to succeed Dr. Joseph G. Morris- sey, who will also be retired next Jan- uary. Thomas Egan, present storekeeper of the Board of Education, is also being considered for promotion by Mayor Schmitz. . .

A TEST EXPERIMENT. Peculiar Power Possessed by a New Medicine. Of new discoveries there is no end, but one of the most recent, most remarkable | and one that will prove invaluable to| ‘thousands of people is a discovery which | it is believed will take the place of all| other remedies for the cure of those com- | moén and obstinate diseases, dyspepsia and | stomach troubles. This discovery is not a | loudly advertised cret patent medicine, but is a scientific combination of whole- some, perfectly harmless vegetable es- sences, fruit salts, pure pepsin and bis- muth, These remedies are combined in lozenge form, pleasant to take and will preserve their good qualities indefinitely, whereas all liquid medicines rapidly lose whatever good qualities they may have had as soon as uncorked and exposed to the air. This preparation is called Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, and it is claimed that one of these Tablets or lozenges will digest from 300 to 3000 times its own weight of meat, eggs and other wholesome food. And this claim has been proven by actual experiments in the following manner: A hard boiled egg cut into small pieces was placed in a bottle containing warm water heated to ninety-eight degrees (or blood heat); one of these Tablets was then placed in the bottle and the proper tem- perature maintained for three hours and a half, at the end of which time the egg was as completely digested as it would have been in a healthy stomach. This ex- periment was undertaken to demonstrate that what it would do in the bottle it would also do in the stomach, hence its unquestionable value in the cure of dys- pepsia and weak digestion. Very few people are free from some form of indi- gestion, but scarcely two will have the same symptoms. Some will suffer most from distress after eating, bloating from gas in the stomach and bowels; others have acld dyspepsia or heartburn; others palpitation or headache, sleeplessness, pains in chest and under shoulder blades, extreme nervousness as in nervous dys- pepsia, but they all have the same cause— failure to properly digest what is eaten. The stomach must have rest and assist- ance, and Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets give it both by digesting the food for it, and in a short time it is restored to its normal |. action and vigor. At the same time the Tablets are so harmless that a child can take them with benefit. This new prepa- ration has already made many astonishing cures, as, for instance, the following: After using only one package of Stu- art's Dyspepsia Tablets I have received such great and unexpected benefit that 1 wish to express my sincere gratitude. In fact, it has been six months since I took the package, and I have not had one par- ticle of distress o: difficulty since. And all this in the face of the fact that the best doctors I consulted told me my case was |/ Chronie Dyspepsia and absolutely incura- ble, as I had suffered twenty-five years. I distributed half a dozen packages among my friends here, who are very anxious to try this remedy. MRS. SARAH A. SKEEL, Lynnville, Jasper Co., Mo.

R Treating Street With Oil. _ The work of treating the roadway of Second avenue, between Clement and California streets, with oil was begun yesterday under the supervision of the | inspectors of the Board of Works. The | work comprises first the sprinkling of the roadway with oil and then the laying of | a layer of macadam one inch in thickness. This is sprinkled again with oil and the mass is rolled by machinery until it is compact. On this is put a layer of sand, which receives a final rolling, insuring a smooth and dustless roadway. The cost of the work is borne by property-owners. This is the initial work of a proposed plan to treat many streets in the Rich- mond district, including Point Lobos ave- nue, with oil.
