The rain| and counter attractions kept many away from the meeting, but quite a| number of those interested in philo- | sophical discussions gathered to hear the address of the evening by Professor George H. Howison on “Kant's Legacy 4 to Philosophy." Professor Howison was introduced by Professor Charles Mills Gayley, who acted as chairman. Professor Gayley | addressed himself briefly in opening the | | meeting to a review of Kant's life. Kant was born in Germany in 1724, the | son of a saddler of Scotch descent. He died in 1804, one of the greatest and most influential German metaph | sicians. He studied philosophy, mathe matics, physics, theology and other subjects at the university of his native | town of Koenigsberg and after gemng‘\ his degree lectured. His early life was a struggle for recognition. In 1762 he| was offered the chair of poetry at| Koenigsberg, but declined it because he } felt himself unfit for the office. The | next year he accepted a place as as- | sistant librarian at,a salary of GEV | thalers and though he had become well | f known and esteemed for his scholarship | did not obtain a professorship until | 1 His private life was uneventful; | he did not marry and did not travel. | Professor Howison reviewed Kant's| philosophy and its influence upon | philosophical students since his death. | According to Professor Howison Kant's | philosophy developed slowly. His views| | did not seem to take anything like final | | form until he wrote his greatest work | in 1781. By this time he had effected in philosophy what he called a Copernican | revolution. “Our suggestion,” Kant, similar to that of Copernicus | | in astronomy, who, finding it impossible | | to explain the movements of the heavenly bodies on the supposition that they turned around the specta-| tor, tried whether he might not succeed better by supposing the spectator to| revolve and the stars to remain at| rest.” | Kant's ethics are frequently called | rigoristie, that is, it refuses to recognize the moral value of natural inclinations. His services in the theory of science were probably as great as in the realm of philosophy. He anticipated Laplace in the view that the solar system has developed from a primitive gaseous ma- terial with rotary motion. — e Loyal's Masquerade. Loyal Rebekah Lodge, I. O. O. F., had a masquerade ball in Scottish Hall last night which proved to be one of the most successful functions this lodge has ever given.

Dr. Jessica Peixotto of the economics de- partment, Dr. E. C. Moore, professor in education, and Hart Greensfelde: editor of the Occident and resident d rector of the West Berkeley social set- tlement, were the speakers. “‘Social settlements are not charities, said Dr. Peixotto. “They are co-opera- tive. They teach the educated people | the value of labor and how 'to labor. | They teach the people connected with | them useful trades and occupations | and independence. In France the so- | settlement problem has been | worked out in such a way that the | benefited feel that they are above be- ing mere charity wards.

The burden of maintaining the institution is borne mamly by Mrs. | Hearst. B | COUNCIL PAYS TRIBUTE TO LATE W. W.

At the meeting of the Labor Council last night resolutions were adopted eulogizing the memory of the late W. W. Copeland, president of San Fran- cisco Typographical Union No. 21, who was accidentally killed a few da The preamble tells of his connc with and faithful service to the Typo- graphical Union of this ¥, and in the resolution a fitting tribute is paid to his memory. ! A strike is threatened by th~ um-i ployes of tae Pacific Coast Milk Com- pany, and the heads of the con-»rn have requested the Labor Council to do all in its power to avert it. According to their statements, the trouble is being caused by the Dairymen's Association, because the Pacific Coast Company hus cut prices. The Coopers’ Union seeks to put a new schedule of wages into effect on March 1. According to the ruling of Generai Vice President Lovely of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union, members who have been found guilty of nppmpnn.l ing funds of the union to their own use are forever debarred from membership. Upon the recommendation of the ex- ecutive committee, B. E. Powers was appointed special business agent. His business will be to watch builders that ignore union rules. ——————————— Prize Masquerade Ball.

Hall called McKowen's case At- torney Dunne arose and asked the in- dulgence of the court. “It is right that this court should know that this défendant has made all restitution in his power,” said Mr. Dunne. “He has turned over to the proper persons something over $4000 in real estate and several hundred dol- lars in money. He has dc this vel- untarily and has stripped himse 4 everything in the way of property. More than that, he has not stood in the way of the law. He has entered his plea here and has relieved the au- thorities, from the del the uncer- tainty and the expense of a public prosecution. He has done everything that could be done or codld be expected from a man in his position.” In passing sentence upon McKowen, Judge Hall said ’ “Mr. McKc it is not necessary for me to cail your attention to deplorable condition in which find yourself. Since your case has come up before me, and my attention has been called to you, I think I have no- ticed something in you that indica repentance for the enormity of your offense. “I shall not give you the extreme limit of ten years allowed by law, as I do not think in r case that the maximum penalty is necessary. I have also taken into consideration the fact that you askeds to be sentenced some weeks ago, but it could not be done at that time. “It is the order this court that u be sentenced to a term of six vears and eleven months in San Quentin prison.” It is probable that McKowen will be taken to San Quentin to-morrow.
