The whote student body is suffering and the plague that poor Job suffered s as nothing to the | visitation that has’ swept over the campus of the University of California Primarily, it was the picks and sho els and wheelbarrows that induced all | this physical discomfort. With these | humble instruments of progress did these intellectual laborers, of the uni in the ancient day the glory of serving their alma mater | and absorbing a “hand-out” with ple as | an entree from the fingers of some fair co-ed. . ' Altogether the thing was more of a success than the heads of affairs had | bargdined for. There were predictions | that it would all be more or less a| farce. Some estimated that there | would be more shirkers and skulkers | than shovelers and wheelbarrowers, and bets were laid that the work would have to be done all over again. But nothing of the kind, for when the bugie sent its clear, glad tones across the campus at 8 o'clock this morning there were more student-workmen on hand than there were picks and shovels for. The laborers outnumbered the im- plements, that the bosses had to make water carriers and horses and more bosses out of the surplus. Even | the most conservative say that there were 1200 men at work. GAUNTLET FOR PICKME For all the fuming and sweating and grunting that was made there might have been 12,000 workmen. At least, that is the way it seemed to most of the spectators. These men of much ! brain and little brawn were spread out in three or four groups and the ob- server might not go anywhere hardly without running a gauntlet of pickmen. There was any amount of ‘“rough- housing” and rioting to give zest to the employment, and the wonder is that it did not all wind up in one of those old-time ‘“rushes” that the fae- ulty is so much set against. Every lit- tle while some student thieved away with an emblem or implement of a rival college and made for the high ground, with the whole of the outraged | pack of rivals after him. Away they Wwould go, their work all forgotten, to remain until the chase ended in victory or defeat. A local merchant with an eye to business sent many gal- lons of lemonade to wet the throats of the workers, but this met an awful fate when the crowd made a rush for it, most of it in the struggle going ! down to swell the volume of Strawber- ry Creek. But in spite of the rough housing and inattention to strict duty something ,was accomplished. Twelve hundred men can do a lot in a day, even if some | of them do “soldier,” and all that they set out to do was done. For one thing, there is a good, new path on the south side of East Hall and the Chemistry building, leading from the Botany bullding to the College-avenue gate. It is now five feet wide, inlaid with yel- low gravel and- fitted with gutters of the proper depth. PATH TO FACULTY CLUB. Then leading from this is a new path that connects the high road with the Faculty Club. This path is sup- ported with stones that were dredged | from the bottom of the creek and piled ' up in the proper order. A long line of | workmen passed these stones along from one to another out of the creek until they reached their destination on the road, where they were finally fitted | into. place. Over on the Hillegass tract there are two new paths, both of them very nec- essary to the students who pass from the main buildings to Hearst Hall and the physiological laboratory. One leads from the creek bottom directly to Hearst Hall and the other is a branch from it to the laboratory. The gravel for all these paths was put through a screening process before YESTERDAY., WHEN AND SHOVEL TO COM THE i SCENF.S ON THE CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY.

J In lieu of horses the students turned themselves intc steeds and dragged the rollers and scrapers after them. This idea was conceived by “Sam” Stow, the big left guard of last year's varsity football team, who was lucky enough to be appointed a foreman. The steeds were mostly freshmeén, who were forced | to submit to a hitching process by their | upper class superiors. | GRAVEL RUNS SHORT. ! By some oversight the supply of | gravel was allowed to run short this | afternoon and it was necessary to call a recess until thirtéen more loads could be contracted for, the interval being occupied by the students in running races and doing other “stunts.” Among the diversicns was the ducking of Rich- ard O’Connor, former editor of the Daily = Californian, in the stream of Strawberry Creek, this punishment be- ing meted to him for playing “‘hookey" for half a day and then appearing in his Sunday clothes. At nocn, regardless of jumpers and overalls and old clothes, the toilers | formed the lockstep and marched to ! the basket-ball court adjoining Hearst Hall. There they were welcomed by the co-ed contingent, marshaled by Miss Margaret Henderson, chairman of the women students’ committee. The pleasure of “passing out the feed” was | for all the women students, who had gathered there in response to the call of the president of the Associated Wo- men Students, Miss Martha Rice. The committee of aspistants consisted of Miss Sarah McLean, Belle Cooledge, kins, Madue Cope, Bessie Forse, Na- talie Wollenberg, Bessie Trowbridge, Alice Phillips and Marfon Craig. Sandwiches and pie and doughnuts and tarts and coffee were served to the hungry and clamorous from tables | spread in the middle of the court. Among these the students swarmed and received their “hand outs” from their co-ed friends. Wooden plates served in the place of the more gen- teel kind and one tin spoon did du:‘ for coffee and pie alike. HANDIWORK OF WOMEN. The whole feast was the handiwork of the women students themselves, who assessed themselves 15 cents apiece to buy the bread and flour and coffee. Hearst Hall's cooking range furnished the heat and there the co-ed pastry cooks toiled and toiled all morning on the pies, while the less experienced kept two hands going on sandwiches and lemonade and beans. The ieast cver the workmen spent what remained of their hour of grace in giving vent to their college and ! class yells. The “Oski wow wow” and the “Give me the pie” and other fa- miliar yells were hurled back and forth across the court. “Little Mini,” the hero of last year's varsity eleven, was i | 1oud enc ugh and empty pie plates filled the air. Miss Elizabeth Arneill, com- ing in late with a case full of pies, was surrounded by a swarm of the unap- peased and almost erushed in the struggle for more pie. All of the pas- try was lost before it could be sent to a safer plage. The luncheon came to a halt at last for sheer lack of anything else to eat, and then the students went back to finish up the work so gallantly begun in the morning. At 5 ¢'clock the bugle rang out again and the second student labor day had come to an end. BIG CELEBRATION This evening a big celebration was held in the Greek Theater. The the- ater's seating capacity of 7000 was fully taxed and its walls reverberated with the yells and songs of the students. There were fireworks and speeches and music and ‘‘stunts.”” Max Thelen, president of ‘the associated students, presided, and J. E. Roadhouse, deputy yell leader, directed the yelling and singing. Dr. George F. Reinhardt of the class of '97 told the multitude how the labor day was founded in 1898 and what the students did in three days of hard work. Professor Edmund O'Neill spoke upon ““The Significance of Labor Day,” and Professor C. L. Corey, who la- bored himself for a while among the students this morning, told' what a fortunate thing theé new tradition is for the university. g The Glee Club, Hart Greensfelder, editor of the Occident; the university band, Merrill and De Leon, Hopkins, Duncan and Keane contributed the other numbers of the entertainment. Student labor day is an institution entirely original with the students of the University of California. It was founded eight years ago and was in- spired by the university's poor purse. The treasury was empty and improve- ments were necessary. Some one sug- gested that the students do some neces- sary work themselves, and the idea soon took tangible form. The students were organized and the last three days of February set apart for laboring. There were not so many students in those days, so it took all of the three days to do the work. On the last day then a celebration was held, just as to-day. i i Free sample given of “‘De Carleton™ cream and free facial massage all this week. Miss M. A.

BERKELEY, Feb. 29.—The first serious effort to test the qualities of the California climate and soil for growing date palms is about to be made in the south. The plant intro- duction bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture has just accepted a tender of fifteen acres of land at Mecca, Riverside County, and will begin at once to plant the young palms with which the experiment will be made. It is proposed to plant five acres the first year. «NEWS OF THE COUNTY OF AILAMEDA PORTER TATLOR MAKES DEFENSE Claims His Train Should Have Kept Main Line and Other Taken the Siding CALLED OUT OF PULLMAN Says He Was Busy When the Train Stopped, but Hurried Forward to Set Switeh| D - | Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Feb. 29.

Taylor, who has been arrested on the order of | Coroner Curry of Contra Costa County pending an investigation of the wreck and is now confined in the County Jail at Martinez, made a statement to the effect that he had misconstrued his orders and had thrown No. 3 on to the siding instead of letting it through | on the main line. | He gays that he was in the chair | car attending to the wants of the pas- | sengers when No. 8 stopped at Luzon | switch to allow the westbound to pass and was called out to go ahead and set the switch. .

Taylor has made a statement | to the officials of the road, but this has not been made public and will not be until the inquest, which will be held | the latter part of the week. The funeral of Engineer ‘Baker will be held at Point Richmond at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. The ser- vices will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. McDonald, pastor of the Presby- terian church-at Point Richmond. The funeral of Engineer Bennett will be held at Stockton on Wednes- day. The local officials of the Santa Fe road were not disposed yesterday to enter into a discussion of the train wreck, explaining that they had not vet received a full report of the affairs from the officers in whose jurisdiction the accident occurred. Sald one of the officials vesterday: t s ent to our minds that the colored evidently his mind was rattied. Usually these | unfortunate accidents are easily traced to the act of some excited individual who cannot be justly accused of carelessness. The experi- ence of the Santa Fe road with its colored porters is that they have been faithful and courteous servants, and there is.no rule of | nature that would suggest that a colored man | is more careless than his white brother The porter that is responsible for yester- day’s accident jumped at the last moment to | swing a switch that he thought was wrongly ot and he did not fealize his mistake until it was too late. A few years ago we had a case similar to this, where ome of our most faithtul men sst a switch. While waiting for | the train to pass he fell asleep and dreamed, in his nap, that he had not performed the duty that he had been accustomed to for months, Awakening suddenly and hearing the roar of the train mear by, he jumped to the switch and swung it back and a few | seconds later he saw, to his horror, the train ditched before him. 3 2 Tfke all other transportation companies. the Santa Fe endeavors to employ the most re- liable men and prides itself on the fact that its judgment has seldom been at fault. Regarding the responsibility for the collision V. Heck, chairman of the legislative board of the Brotherhood of Railway Bngineers, yesterday de- clared that the accident was due to the railway's policy in refusing to em- ploy a sufficient number of trained brakemen. He said: During the last session of the Legislature our organization had a bill introduced requir- railways in this State to place two very passenger train consisting of four cars or more. The railway companies fought the bill and finally defeated it by a small majority. But the Southern Pacific promised to adopt the requirements of the bill. even though it was not emacted a law, and this promise has been kent. The Santa Fe, on the other hand, has made no {mprovement, and still pursues its cheap policy of placiag only one brakeman on. a train, no matter what its length. This man's statien is at the rear of the train, and when a stop occurs it is his duty to run back aloug the track to flag any trains coming from that direction. The negro porter is then left as the only trainman in charge of the lives of the passengers and the property of the company. He is not an experienced brakeman, has to pass no examination and is generally wholly unfit to be entrusted with the duty of switchinz trains. Yet this is_just what the negro porter was required to do at Luzon statfon. The train had stopped and the brakeman had run back. The porter was at the head of the train, near the switch, which was closed to oncoming trains. But he got rattled, being inexperfenced, | and when the overland dashed down the track ! he_mistook the position of the switch and suddenly threw it open jus moving- train came near.
