THE SAN. FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER: 26, 190 FARMERSAREROYALLY GREETED BY STUDENTS Institute Opens W ith Exercises in University’s Greek Theater ROOTERS CHEER GUESTS BERKELEY, Oct. 25.—A farmers’ in- | stitute with a distinct university flavor and & Greek sacrificial proeession to round out the affair constituted an at- traction that drew 5000 persons to the Greek Theater on the university cam- his afternoon. The novelty of the was described fitly in a phrase by ent Wheeler when he spoke of it &s a “never-has-been.” The glee club and university band, rooters by hundreds and co-eds innu- merable, all panoplied in the distinctive garb of rsity students, assisted in welcoming the farmers who had trav- eled fr pterior points to attend this notable itute. If ever there was a chasm, r or imaginary, between academic folk and the agricultural pop- ulation, it was bridged over at the uni- versity to-day, when welcome of the royal s was extended to guests by each of these sections of university bumanity and acknowledged by cheers and handclapping from the guests to express their pleasure in the reception accorded thera. A master mind ap- parently had planned that the pro- gramme should reflect the appreciation which university men have for those great agricultural interests that make S0 large a part of California’s riches. AS DID THE GREEKS OF OLD. Notably interesting was the Greek sacrificial procession, being a reproduc- | tion in the life of the famous Parthe- non frieze. This came as the last feature of the programme, and was eagerly awalted, none leaving the piace until the procession had twice made its across the long stage of the Greek theater. A score or more students, members the farmers, for all the industries of 1"" State, with the usual volleys for the university and its characters. The glee club was recalled until its members were weary. Their famous { medley, concluding with the “Osky- wow-wow,” the rooters joining in, i evoked a storm of applause. | WELCOMES THE FARMERS. President Wheeler congratulated the l farmers upon the university, which, he | said, was their own, referring to the | wisdom and foresight of their fore- fathers who had laid its foundation. He said in part: This institution, founded on the selvage of the West, ranks among the first five uni- versities Of the country. Its greatness is in keeping with that of the State, and when the State develops its riches and acquires the power which such a wise observer as Lyman Abbott says it will eventually have in meas- ure exoeeding that of three such States as New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, there will be none to regret that the uni- versity was laid out on broad lines and gen- erously supported. The agricuitural department of the university has doubled its service to the State each year. This department is well included in a unl, versity, for its service is allied to that of otber deparments—engineering, mining and the like—whose aim is the bettering of the State and its life. The registration of this department regularly increases. It is .three | times se great this vear as it was five years ago end we expect in the future an even greater increase. In these surroundings, at | our hearthstone, where we come to warm our- selves and warm others, with our students end our friends, we bid you now a cordial welcome and beg that you feel at home. CHEERS FOR RAAP. Mr. Raap's response for the State Grange dealt with the problems of | farmers and the work dome by the | grange in solving them. He described the farmers’ loyalty to and trust in the mostly of the Greek department of the | university. When"he concluded he re- university, participated in this proces- | ceived from the “rooters” a character-’ sion. Thelr costumes were those worn in the recent production of “Ajax.” “Thank you,” saild Mr. Raap. Garbed as Greeks of old, wearing gar-| “You’'re welcome,” yelled the rooters lands of flowers, carrying vessels as did | In chorus, as quick witted yell leader ‘ istic salute. 4 r those who walked in Greece when such processions were formed, bearing fruits grains to offer on the altar, the picturesque line made its way across the stage. The spectacle was suffi clently impressive to still the noise in- evitable in so great an assembly out of doors, with a half-thousand children included in its makeup. Governor Pardee, who was to have | been a speaker, was not able to be present. A telegram expressing his re- gret was read by Professor E. J. Wick- son. While the audience waited for the formal programme to begin, 200 root- | ers, supported by the university band, | Bulkeley gave the signal. | Before the Greek sacrificlal proces- sion entered, F. T. Blanchard recited a prologue, “The Athenian’s Vision,” by Professor Isaac Flagg, a poem pur- porting to express the feelings of a Greek of old when surveying the an- cient sacrificial procession. The programme to-night in Hearst Hall was as follows, the general sub- ject being ‘“University Extension” and Professor John Fryer presiding: ‘His- tory, Purposes and Methods of Univer- | sity Extension,” Professor H. Morse Stephens; “University Extension in Agriculture,” Professor BE. J. Wickson; “Reading and Correspondence Courses,” entertained the throng with the famous | W. T. larke. “Osky-wow-wow” yell and with college | Mijgary exercises by the university songs galore, inserting in each a senti- | battallon will be given to-morrow ment appropriate to the occasion. There were yells for H. C. Raap, master of the California State Grange, morning for the visitors’ benefit. Ses- | slors of the institute will be held in the morning, afternoon and night cheers for the Farmers’ Institute, ror’l throughout Wednesday and Thursday.

Frank| Water Committee Said to Lynch Obtained a Title Interests” His FEnemies COURTESY OF GOVERNOR Defendants on Trial for Disturbing His Peace Say That He Would Not Fight s Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Oct. 25. The history of the title of “Colonel” Frank Lynch, proprietor of Satro Park, at Fruitvale, and of the feud between him and E. G. Blackman, C. Hardwick, Eugene Dean, C. Stickney and Ed Car- roll, who he has had arrested for dis- turbing his peace, was gone into this afternoon at the trial of Blackman, the first of the defendants to stand trial, before Justice of the Peace Quinn. Blackman testified that Lynch’s rep- utation for honesty and veracity was bad and that he would not believe him under oath. He was corroborated in this by his four codefendants. Lynch, with his wife, testified that the defend- ants had called him vile names and paraded about his house with shotguns. “How djd you come to have the title of colonel?” asked Attorney Rinehart. “By the courtesy of the Governor of Kentucky,” replied Lynch. “I would like to say to this court that this same colonel took my client to the lonesomeness of his own wilderness at Fruitvale and with only his own shad- ow as a witness threatened to kill him,” said Rinehart. “Well, it's up to you to show that he did,” replied the court. The testimony drew’forth the fact that Lynch was trying to get a permit from the Board of Supervisors to sell liquor at his park, and that he was be- ing opposed by the men whom he has had arrested. He also conducts a week- 1y paper and has taken occasion to say some unpleasant things about- the men who are now fighting him. Blackman admitted that on one occa- sion a fight nearly occurred, and that it was only prevented by Lynch’s re- fusal to come off his own land to fight, while he, Blackman, had dared him to come out into the street. ‘The trial of Blackman was finished this afternoon, but Justice Quinn stated that he would reserve his decision until all of the men had been tried, as the testimony was about the same In each case. —_—e WIFE'S PLEA SAVES BRUTE FROM JAIL ‘Woman Who Was Kicked Into Insen- sibility Begs for the Freedom - of Her Husband. OAKLAND, Oct. 35.—"Come back here in sixty days, Rivers, and I will ‘see whether or not your behavior has earned you the further.clemency of this court. If you do not behave your- self in the meantime, or if I hear a bad report about you then, you will get at least six months in jail. Your wife's pleading has saved you from the pen- alty I had intended to Impose.” So spake Police Judge Samuels to- day to Percy Rivers, colored, who last week kicked his wife, Dovle, until she was unconscious. “‘Dovie” angered her spouse by going to the theater with- out his permission. “It was just a lit- tle family difficulty, Judge,” she said. “He has always been kind to me, and will not be harsh in the future, I am sure, and I hope you will be easy with him.” v e WORK AT THE PRESIDID STOPPED BY DENSE FOG ‘Weather Conditions Cause Delay in Completion of Athletic Grounds and Target Range. , The big athletic tournament of the Department of California that is to take place at the Presidio on Novem- ber 17, 18 and 19 is occupying a great deal of attention among the army of- ficers, enlisted men and others inter- ested in these sports.

[TELL OF FEUD |MILLER'S PLAN EPISCOPALIANS “END SESSION Bishop Potter Reads Pastoral Letter Touching on the Problems Before Country HE DISCUSSES DIVORCE Says Present Conditions Are Such as to Be Menace to American Civilization . BOSTON, Oct. 25.—The triennial gen- eral convention of the Episcopal church, which has been in session here since October 5, was ended to-day with a public service in Trinity Church. From the pulpit Bishop Potter of New York read a pastoral letter ad- dressed to the church at large. The communication, which consisted of more than 3000 words, comsidered the problems now befare the country. Re- garding divorce the letter said that the facility with which the rela- tion may be taken on and put off is one of the menaces of American civilization, to the possible perils of which Chris- an people are as yet very imperfectly aroused. The letter made a plea for the ermanence and security of the family. t also discussed the negro problem, stating that the church was taking steps to correct the situation so far as possible. Other pressing questions were dealt with. THE FAMILY THREATENED. The letter paid a,high tribute to the Archbishou of Canterbury, saying that his visit has cemented the two great peoples. After pointing out the ne- cessity of supporting missions in Jap- an, China and other Oriental districts, the letter continued: It is & question which we in this republic may wisely consider, whether with greater freedom we have al of righteousness. At basts order is the family: and whils we are fond of girding at our Oriental brethren for their po- lygamic. constitution of that institution, It is worth while to ask ourselves the question whether the laws of this land are not in dan- ger of bringing in, though by quits another road, a worse evil. The letter takes up what it terms “those two great problems which to- day supremely confront the republic —the labor question and the race is- sue.” © Of the first the pastoral de- clares that “whatever labor organiza- tions have accomplished they have mainly moved along lines which are the glory of our democratic Institu- tions.” MUST FACE RACE ISSUE. Touching the race problem, the let- ter, after referring to the appointment of a joint commission to Investigate the question, says: If by giving them (the negross) freedom, we bave only given them the power to work mischief; and if lynching has come to be de- fended as a necessary proteation to families, then surely we are face to face with & situa- tion at once and We may not fgmore it; we cannot disown it: ft ls & part of our social’system and If the church can have nothing to say about it, then she simply disowns her God and her master. The letter closes with a warm in- dorsement of the International Peace Congress, saying: The creation of The Hague tribunal and the recognition if not the formal ad of in- ternational courts of arbitration by some of the foremost empires of Europe has indicated £an0" Lo ‘he. arbiiramment of warr of mvet pre. = o of war, found significance.
