The | [EACHERS CIVEN [>UMMER SCHOOL [HOPE TO KILL RAMSAY Greatest Chemist LOSES World’s Writes That He Cannot Lecture at the University { UPSETS STUDENT PLANS English Seientist Will Be E Detained by | Into Radium Phenomena Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, June 6. { Sir William Ramsay, the greatest chemist in the world, will pot offer in- struction te students at the summer | school of the University of California {ihis year. Quite unexpectedly the | wizard-scientist has announced that he { will be detained in London all through (the summer by a sclentific exigency that suddenly arose while he was pre- paring to come to California. Leon J. Richardson, dean of the sum- mer school, Sir William expresses his at regret at thus being compelled to appoint many students intending to attend his lectures at Berkeley and a ng to be relieved from his obliga- tion. He does not specify the nature of the scientific question that will de- tain him, but it thought to con- cern his researches into the phenomena of gadio-activity, to which he has been devoting much of his attention lately. Sir William’s withdrawal at this time will surely disappoint and upset the plans of hundreds of intending stu- dents eager to work under the direc- tion of such a notable scientist. Sir William, with Professor Hugo de Vries, the greatest botanist; Professor Svante enius, the greatest physicist, and . Jacques Loeb, the greatest biolo- zist, was counted upon to complete the greatest auartet of world-famous sci- entists ever gathered together at a uni- versity summer school. His loss will be severely felt, for the time is too short now to get another to fill his place. ENENTS IN SOCIETY By Zoe Green Radcliffe.

The result was that every one looked cool and pretty and added very effectively to a charming scene, The shower included many very nice as well as useful articles, in several instances ac- companied by good wishes expressed in orig- inal verse or some other quaint fashion. In the dining-room—which was a favorite place, because there one was served with deliclous jces and cooling drinks—the decora. tions were suggestive of the honored guest’s little affaire du coeur. Strings of small red hearte were festooned from walls to the cen- tral chandelier and hung down over the rose- adorned table. Miss Larkey will become a bride on the 2ist and her becoming white gown yesterday gave one an idea of how pretty she will look in bher wedding garb.

Sclence is about to make its first at- tack upon the corn worm—that de- structive little inseot that has been the bane of the lives of hundreds of farm- ers in California who raise the vege- table for the market. This insect Is familiar to all housewives who have supplied the table with the succuient food. He is the first thing that appears after the husk has been taken off the corn, and he is an ugly thing to look upon. Usually he has eaten half the kernels on the cob and there is little left for the table. The corn worm's | greatest fault is that he reduces the market value of all the corn grown in the State one-half, and it is to get rid of him thst the scientists at the Uni- versity of California are laying out a campaign. Warren T. Clark, the entomologist at the University of California, is head of the forces planning for the exter- mination of the pest. Mr. Clark's method to gain this end will be very simple. His first ‘attack will begin at Vorden, on the Sacramento River, where 100 acres of corn land have been put at his disposal. There he will grow various kinds of corn for the purpose of. ascertaining what kind of corn the worm likes best. As soon as this is determined more of the corn to the worni’s liking will be grown in an iso- j lated ficld, where it is hoped to con- fine him until the clean crop is har- vested: In a word, it is a campalgn to isolate the pest. In every field of corn after this year there will always be one patch where the insect will flock by himself. In time it is hoped that the worm will be coxterminated. The difficulty about it now is that the worm cannot be killed off by sprays because he is in- side the husly, where he is safe. But the scientists are not despairing, and they, hope some day to find a way to put him to rout. SHOOTS A MAN AND 1S BEATEN illiam Riley Is Roughiy Defending Himself Against a Crowd —_——— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, June 6. News of a shooting scrape at Hay- wards Saturday night, which was near- ly followed by a lynching, reached here to-day when District Attorney Allen issued a warrant for the arrest of Wil- liam Riley of Moraga Valley for an assault to commit murder on Carl Schwartz. Riley at the time was in the Haywards jall, where he had been held. He was terribly beaten by a crowd of men and was more hurt than the man he shot. Riley had some trouble with Schwartz in a saloon and was thrown out of the place. He was followed by Schwartz and a number of others, who chased him for a couple of blocks. He suddenly turned and, firing his pistol into the ground as a warning, told the men that if they came any closer he would shoot. Schwartz dared him to fire and made a dash for Riley, when he fired three times in quick succession and knocked Schwartz down with a bullet through the ankle. Riley was then surrounded and while he was not looking was thrown down and was kicked and beaten by the crowd. Riley is the son of Kendall Riley of 109 Vallejo street, San Francisco, . who was hung up by his hands to a tree by Albert Sweet and C. L. Perkins upon his ranch in the Contra Costa foothills back of Lafayette a couple of days ago. Young Riley went to Haywards, In- tending to go the next day to the as- sistance of his father, who was in trouble with claim jumpers. —————— Invite Societies to Participate.

After several weeks of fighting be- tween two factions of the Union Labor party, both of which claiméd to be the only County Central Committee, it was announced before the Board of Super- visors to-day that it was probable that the, trouble could be amicably patched up. The trouble arose when the Union Labor Central Committee, at a meet- ing held last April, deposed Chairman J. B. Crandall and elected A. W. Ath- ertorr in his stead. Crandall took five members of the committee with him and organized a new committee of which he is chairman and R. J. Silva was elected secretary. They then filled the other vacancies on the committee and presented a petition to the Board of Supervisors to allow the name of the Union Lgbor party to go on the regular ballat. The majority of the committee, under the leadership of Atherton and the reg- ular secretary, Lawrence Hyde, kept on doing business and put in a petition to the board. So far as the name on the ballot went, both asked for the same thing, and it could have been granted, but the recognition of either faction would give it a right to appoint delegates and it was here that the real point of the trouble appeared. The time, however, was passing for some action to be taken and the two sides have seen the necessity of settling diffi- culties and announced to-day that this would be done. ‘With the regular chairman, A. W. Atherton, are Lawrence Hyde, M. Montgomery, W. J. Allen, A. T. Bi dle, Frank Higuera, C. F. Murdock, C. Valentine, W. G. Davidson, A- W. Powers, B. B. Booth and R. E. Rodifer. Opposing them are J.

ALITO San Francisco Yacht Club’s Water Carnival Proves a Highly Interest- ing and Exciting Event. The aquatic sports at Sausalito Sun- day were witnessed by a large num- ber of spectators. The affair was held under the auspices of the San Fran- cisco Yacht Club and as usual was a great success. The programme was scheduled to commence at 10:30. Promptly at that time Announcer Treat called out the contestants for the first event. From that time until 1 o'clock the various aquatic exhibitions and contests proved highly interesting. The first event was a swimming con- test for members of the Olympic Clu] Sydney Cavill won easily, while Mr. Wise finished second. The members of the San Francisco Yacht Club then took to the water and swam 100 yards. Winslow L. Beedy was first and James Kitterman second. \ A barge race was next on the card. Only members of the San Francisco Yacht Club entered. Each barge con- tained three oarsmen and a coxswain. The winners in this event were Captain Farrar, Dr. Levinsky and H. Deuprey. A skiff race with oarsmen blindfolded and a lady coxswain directing the craft proved exciting. There were six crews in the contest. W. W. Farrar and Dr. Levinsky, with Mrs. Farrar as coxswain, won by two lengths. The climbing of the greasy pole was attempted by many, but Hagdy Hellen was the only successful contestant. The most amusing event of the day was “chasing ducks.” Two ducks were lib- erated in the water. They both flew and swam. Mr. Wise outdistanced the birds and succeeded in capturing them. The next event was a swimming and dressing contest. All contestants swam from the yacht club house out to the sloop Annie, put on trousers and hat, and then swam to the sloop Chal- lenger and obtained coats and vests. M. Vecchi of the Olympic Club won. Mr. Wise and Mr. Bacon won first and second prizes for fancy high diving. Sydney Cavill gave an interesting ex- hibition of swimming. In the after- noon the various yachts of the fleet cruised around thé bay, returning to their anchorage about 5 o’clock. —_————— IS PAINFULLY WO'JNDED. DURING FRIENDLY ROW W.
