By unanimous vote the ioners summ ily the dismissed rtet from the force and ordered Chief of Police Hodgkins to turn over to Prosecuting Att A. P. Leach all of the evidence against the men, that steps may be taken to prosecute all of them on criminal charges. { Further than that, John E. McElroy president of the board, directed Chief Hodgkins to take into custody each one of the accused. In compliance with this order, Chief Hodgkins made a search that failed of its purpose Neither Andrews nor Clark could be found. Hamerton was not arrested during the daytime, al- though he was seen this morning on Broadway. President McElroy announces that | there will be a complete, overhauling of the Police Department. Every man upon whom the slightest suspicion rests will be investigated. President McEiroy declares that he will not be satisfled until there is certainty that no man’s name is upon the roll of the department at whom the finger of sus- picion can be pointed. | MEN ARE DISMISSED. ! Without comment, after & short exec- | utive session to-day the Board of Com- | missioners swept aside the profered refignations of the men who stand accused of usipg their positions to | plunder those whom they were paid to | protect. The Board of Police Commis- | sioners quickly decided that a lenfent | course of permitting resignations was | inimical to the public welfare and the | good of the Police Department. The board met in open session at ¢ o'clock, after hearing the statements of Chief of Police Hodgkins and Captains | of Police W. J. Petersen and A. Wil- son in executive session. There was no. e ey | ADVERTISEMENTS.

F. Stahl, C. W. Hamer- ton, L. E. Andrews and Sergeant of Police C. E. Clark. These resignations are before the board for action. What s your pleasure?” = ve that the resignations be not accepted,” said Mayor Olney. “Second the motion,” aaded Commis- | sioner F. C. Turner. ! The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. “I move that the men be summarily dismissed from the department,” salo | Mayor Olney. | “Dishonorably,” suggested Commis- sioner Turner. | “No, 1 think it should standy ‘sum- | marily,” ” replied the Mayor. { “All right, 1 second the motion,” ac- | quiesced Turner. The motion prevailed again by unan- | imous vote. | “What further action, if any, does | the board desire to take in this mat- | ter?” inquired President McElroy. “I move,” responded Mayor Olney, | “that the Chief of Police lay all of the | evidence in regard to these men's mis- | doings before the proper prosecuting | officer to take such action as he may be advised to take.” Turner again seconded and this mo- tion, which, strippea or formality, meant the step toward criminal pro ecution, was unanimously carried. McELROY LEADS. After the board had completed its work President McElroy, in an extend- ed interview, made public an explana- tion of his position with relation to the exposures. He said: 1 speak for the board when I say that we fully appreciate the enormity of this state of affaire’ That these men, and perhaps others, should have stooped to such petty stealings, shiclded as they were by the uniforms of their positions, as sworn guardians of life and property, is simply beyond comment. My mind fully made. up that there is no halfway course to be taken. If thess men are gulilty, and we have their confessions, some writte somé verbal, they should be treated as de perate criminals. Indeed, they are worse than A thief in his professional career will often times take a chance. Pro- ed by their uniforms these men did mnot have to take a ehance. There was hardly any danger of detection. Fortunate circumstance: bowever, brought them, evidently, to accoun Belleving that no favors. should be shown, 1 direted the Chief of Police this morning to arrest these men and take them to the City Hall, pending the éxamination of the evi- dence touching the offenses for which they have been dismiseed from the department. We have confessions of Wrongdoing from every one of the four men. Two of those confes- sions are verbal and two are written., To | what extent these, coupled with other evidence, can be used in court for purposes of prosecu- tion is & matter that the attorneys must take up and decide. Chief Hodgkins has beéen in- structed to lose no time in further procedure, both as to the men now accused ‘or in the line of a sweeping investigation of every | member_of the who may. be under suepicion. A It has come to -my-knowledge té-day that! these pilterings bave. been golng on for sey- eral years. The more 1 see of this ce- ful affair the more I am shocked. As a citi- zen and s & member of the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners I purpose to ferret out the whole thing, and so far as I am con- cerned not a man ehall escape the disgrace that he has Justly earned if he be found suilty. Commissioner Turner was of the same opinion as the president of the board. Mayor Olney gave assurance that the administration would not rest until the air had been cleared. Amazing as were yesterday’'s devel- opments they were paralleled to-day, when it became known that Chief Hodgkins had at least one definite and case to fasten upon two of the accused men, who had been acting in concert. This charge consists of an accusation that former Sergeant' Clark and Patrolman Hamerton entered the store of the Buswell Paint Company at 904 Broadway, stole a can of paint and carried it off. This charge, it is as- serted, is independent of many others Wwhich have been gathered from sources notsdirectly connected with the Police Departme: For months. it is said, the men have been under surveillance. For months their comings and goings have been the object of private watch. For months, it is asserted, at least two of them have been in collusion in raids upon convenient grocery and wearing apparel stocks on their beats. ALING WAS GENERAL. It is declared that the investigating officers have evidence that all of the quartet had made frequent pilfering expeditions into the grocery of Henry Cushing, Thirteenth street, near Clay, and had been seen carrying off fifty- pound sacks of flour. Not only did the grocery suffer, but in the long list of articles is contained such wares as women’s wraps, dry goods, corsets, silk, ham, jewelry, dress goods, chil- | dren’s garments, fountain pens and like wares. Included in the list of stores are the Eastern Outfitting Company, Thir- teenth and Clay streets; H. D. Cush- ing’s, Smith Brothers stationery and book store, Crescent Corset Company and a cloak establishment at Tenth and Clay streets. Not a little of the evidence which Chief Hodgkins laid before the Police Commissioners to-day was contained in two written confessions of guilt, one of which was made by Stahl and the other by Andrews. The verbal ad- missions made by Clark and Hamerton were repeated by Tlodgkins, Captain Peterson and Captain Wilson, before whom all four men were questioned’ on election day. The contents of the written confes- slons as well as the details of the oral statements are being closely guarded pending such time as Prosecuting At- torney Leach shall decide upon “the worth of the evidence in prosecuting the dismissed men. That Andrews, Clark, Stahl and Hamerton had at times operated either in pairs or even all together during the period covered by their confessions- is the belief of police officials. That they had some agreement as to the tempar- ary disposal of the property taken is also thought to be a fact. As the depths are sounded confirmations are reached in number. Among the dis- closures to-day was that supplied by Charles Gilbert, janitor of the Physi- cians’ building on Washington, near Thirteenth street, where Clark and An- drews sald they had carriéd on a “beer bust” with women. They asserted yesterday that Hamerton had been in the connivial party. This Hamerton denies and Hodgkins says Hamerton was not there. But Gilbert and a Mrs. Miles, who works for Gilbert,. cor- roborate the statement that two police- men did carouse in the building with one Jennie Cook, who had also worked for Gilbert. Another former employe in the building sald he had seen a big, fat policeman carry off a big package of groceries that had been hidden be- hind a doorway in the entrance. MEN IN HIDING. The absence of Clark and Andrews is explained by their friends on the score of a desire to go into hiding tem- porarily, pending developments. Chief Hodgkins thinks he is in a position to iay his on the men when he NEWS OF THE COUN WHEELER PUTS |JACK LONDON’S.WIFE . | OBTAINS HER DIVORCE IS FOOT DOWN AV S Py “No Diplomas for Seniors ‘Who Disobey the Military in Pairs| Order,” Says the President CAPTAIN NANCE UPHELD Head of the University Ex- plains to His Students Why They-Must All Mind . Berkeley Office San- Francisco Call 2148 Center street, Nov. 1L President Benjamin Ide Wheeler to- day informed the students of the uni- versity at the semi-monthly gathering in Harmon gymnasium that any senior who refuses to obey the orders of Cap- tain J. T. Nance, military instructor, will never receive a diploma from the University of California. The presi- dent thus announced that Captain Nance has his backing in the struggle to keep the senior class of the univer- sity under military control. The seniors, after hearing President Wheeler's declaration confirming Cap- tain Nance's letter, received by them yesterday, decided to submit graceful- ly to the order requiring them to march into the military classroom in military fashion. President Wheeler's announcement was his first utterance in public re- garding the senior class conflict with the military instructor. The president said: The work of Captain J. T. Nance as mil- military instructor_ seems to have been mis- understood. His work in the student mind has been unpopular and I wish to attempt to dispel the rather misty interpretation of his position. Military instruction is given here by con- tract between the State and the Federal Gov- ernment and the military officer is detalled here under orders which admit of mo excep- tion. Al military instruction is in the form of and under military discipline. Thevefors there can be no distinction between dri: and class work. Much of the misunderstanding among the students has arisen from the fact that the class usage of the past did not have the seniors under military rule. In this controversy I fully realise that the students have a point of view and I am anxious to take it. The students have the point of view of honor, of reason and of gentlemen. There is a point of view of the lower class men. They have been accustomed to being ‘‘joshed” by the seniors when they first line up at the beginning of the year. Wken the seniors themselves had to line up the lower class men saw their chance to turn the tables. All they did was, I believe, harm- less and good-natured. college community calls it ‘‘rough-housin but it does not understand that there is a decided difference in this kind of work, which comes under the regulations of the United States War Depart- ment and is not to be inciuded in ordinary academic freedom. The senfors.had a point of view, too. When they were ordered to march into’ their class- room they did not think that It was nice. They regarded it as & primary school measure and talked in anger about ‘'lock-step.” Now, there was nothing of the sort intended by the order. The whole rule is an army one, which requires that military instruction be done in a military way. This is the case at West Point and other military schools. Such work has ; been . guaranteed to the United States Government by the State. It has been made a part of this institution. It has come here to stay. It will be upheld. . It will be made first _ rate. {le .acagemic custonfs ¢manate, amang. vs . milifacy custima come from without. While the military department is here among us it must be all that it should be. No student will ever receive a degree from. thig university who is insubordi- nate and disobdys the United States Govern- ment. REBUFF GIVEN CLAIM OF ALLEGED PRINCE British Authorities Decide That Ram- ina Aranancha Singh Is Not Son of Late Maharajah of Lahore, OAKLAND, Nov. 11.—The hopes of “Prince” Ramina Aramancha Singh, the Hindu in jail here, that through the efforts of the British Consul at San Francisco he might be enabled to prove his claim that he is a true son of the late Maharajah of Lahore, were blasted to-day by the receipt of the following letter SAN FRANCIS ©0, Nov. 10, 1904.—Mr. Ranjit Singh, 760 Washington Street, Oakland. —Bir: With reference to your previous letter and to one received to-day, I have to acquaint you that 1 forwarded your original letter to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in- quiring what action, if any, the Secretary of State for India would like to have taken on your appeal, ard in reply was informed that the Secretary of State for India had every reason to beileve that the late Maharajah had only three legitimate sons, all by his first marriage with Maharani Bamba. That two of these are Princes Victor and Frederick, as to whose Identity there can be no question, whilst the third son, Albert Edward, was known to have died at Hastings oo May 1, 1563. In consequence Lord " Brodrick asked Lord Lansdowne that I should be informed that the Becretary of State for India did not wish that 1 should glve you any assistance. I regret therefore to be unable to entertain any fur- ther appeals from you for afd In estabiié your-identity. T am sir, your obedient servant, C.'W. BENNBTT, Consul General. In regard to the letter Singh said that he never died at Hastings in 1892, but was sent by his stepmother to America. "It Is easy enough to deny that I am a Prince, but if I am not, who am I? Some one paid for my €ducation and training. I certain- ly did not earn the money spent upon me?” he said. —_ wants them. Stahl left the city Wed- nesday and is at Portland, Ore., so far as is known. His father’s sudden death was the reason he departed soon after the resignation was given. Hamerton remained in Oakland and has publicly asserted that he purposes to stay here and fight it out. He has declared ve hemently his innocence of wrong-doing and has asserted that he was coerced into confession-and resignation. Like- wise does Hamerton intimate that he knows a thing or two about crooked work in the Police Department that might add an interesting chapter to this tale of thievery and disgrace. The Police Commissioners filled the vacancles caused by the dismissals to- day by appointing Charles E. Ford J. A. Gunter, H. N. McCready and W. J. Tobin to be regular policemen. The first two had been acting regulars and the others were the last on the eligi- ble list. Examination of candidates for appointment was set for November 24 at 9 o’clock. Applicants for the exam- ination will be given papers at the of- fice of the board at thé City Hall.

They have been married a little more than four yia.rs, but for more than a Yyear they ave not lived together. ‘While away in China, as a cor- respondent, London wrote and urged his wife to get a divorce and she began an action. The charges in the first complaint, however, were not pressed. London returned from China and a settlement of the property interests of the pair was effected out of court. A second action was begun, the allega- tion being desertion. She 1s awarded the custody of the two minor «children. TAKES A FLING AT STANFORD Annual “Football Farce” of University of California Deals With the Opposition BERKELEY, Nov. 11.—The annual “football farce” will be given at the Alhambra Theater in San Francisco to- morrow evening after the football game. This has become an annual in- stitution with the University of Cali- fornia, and this year the men from Berkeley have taken a fling at the men from Stanford, as the name of the play indicates. “The Mon From Stonford” is an originai two-act bur- lesque written by Chester A. Finch, H. J. Rogers and Hans Lisser, sopho- mores. After the performance the music is to be published because of the praise it has received at the hands of critics. Not second in any sense to the music are the libretto and lyrics, which are clever and catchy. The arrangement and development of plot has received the plaudits of Ferris Hartman, Karl Formes and others. Formes is directing the production and handling a cast of forty-five men students. Aside from the choruses there are nine principal characters, all of whom have breezy lines and topical songs. The principal lead is taken by Mark Daniels, a senior, who is “The Mon From Stonford,”’an Engiish character part, affording exgeptional oppertunity for the talent of Daniels, who is a cousin of Frank Daniels, the actor. Emil Kreuske, ex '05, writer of his Junior farce, and a college dramatist ‘who has gone on the professional stage, takes the second lead. The entire cast is to be elaborately costumed. Walter de Leon, a junior and also writer of his: class farce, is in the cast, while Melvin Jeffers, a senior, member of the De Koven Club and the possessor of a rich barytone voice, will sing one of the solos. The scenes of the burfesque are laid at Monterey and on the campus at Berkeley. They deal with the embar- rassing trials of a Stanrord student of | Sherlock Holmes propensities. The authors of the production, Rog- ers, Lisser and Finch, have worked to- gether in their freshman year as stu- dents and in the second half of their first term began the burlesque as a comic opera. It was written in about three months and contains fifteen orig- inal pieces of music. Finch is a resi- dent of Spokane. Lisser is the son of Dr. Louis Lisser, head of the musical department at Mills College, while Rogers, before he entered college, work- ed as a newspaper reporter for three years on the San Francisco and Oak- land dailies. He has contributed to college papers and aside from his lit- erary ability is one of the college car- toonists, being a contributor to the Pelican and Blue and Gold. He and Lisser wrote the book and lyries. Chester Finch composed the entire score. He intends after finishing his work at Berkelev to enter the comser- vatory at Leipsig, Germany, as a stu- dent of music. Each of the authors is to be presented with an especially engraved and designed gold pendant by the managing committee, as the gift of the students. SOCIAL CALENDAR By Zoe Green Radcliffe. OAKLAND, Nov. 11.—There must be some conjunction of the stars that influences the socially inclined just now, for a glance at next week's social calendar fills the woman who is popular, but not ubiquitous, with dis- may.

He did this to show that he had grounds for complaint against her and to show animus in her having tied up his working capital by injunc- tion proceedings. By the order of the court he was allowed to draw his money from the bank and now says that he will begin a divorce suit. An interlocutory decree of divoree was granted Clara E. Brady from Harry L.

Wheeler of the class of '$5 and John R. Glascock, "84, who are now prom- inent in the public life of the State, stood sponsor for the gridiron con- tests in which the modern university takes so deep an interest. Each speak- er lauded the game that is played with pigskins, defending it from the at- tacks made upon It recently at the university by Professor Howison and by Willlam Greer Harrison. Professor Howison called the game barbarous and brutal and Harrison had referred to it as merely a ‘“‘head-on col- lision,” in which chivalric ideas could have no place. Regent Wheeler to-day spoke of foot- ball as worthy of comparison with the high standard of Grecian games of old, | declaring that the ideal of the an- cients was not superior to the stan- dards of modern college sportsmen in their fames on the modern football field. Mr. Glascock, a former Mayor of Oakland, followed Regent Wheeler with a vigorous defense of the game, in which he said that it did more than anything else to develop college spirit in the thousands of students who make up a university's life. —_—————— “TOO MANY CO-EDS,” SAYS UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR BERKELEY, Nov. 1l.—Professor George Howison, who has denounced football games and newspaper report- ers, the former of which he said were brutal and barbarous and the latter were lost souls, yesterday declared in a lecture on ethics before his class in philosophy that the “co-eds™ at the university were too numerous for the g0od of the earnest and competent students. Professor Howison sald woman's curiosity was proverbial and usually concerned itself with trivial matters. | “It is the university’s alm to direct that curiosity toward worthy and ncble subjects,” added the professor, “but theére are so many women stu- dents that they lower the standard of thinking and make it necessary for a teacher to ‘water’ his remarks so as to make them intelligible to minds that are unripe and insufficlently nour- ished in large and rich conceptions.” a— Louise Hall will be hostess at which will be a brilliant event.

SULLIVAN GOES oUT WHEN CASEY RUSHES —— Big Jim Casey, king of the longshore- men and conqueror of the late lament- ed Toothpick Kelly, waded into George Sulltvan at Woodward's Pavilion last night and made the latter stop in two rounds. Sullivan stalled and sidestep- ped, but the big Hibernlan was always’ coming. He had a haymaker always ready and those old windmill wallops Were coming dangerously near the head of Sullivan and the referee, Billy Roche, at every turn. Roche tried to break the huskies a couple of times, but ju- diciously stayed away after that. Sul- livan went to the floor from a wallop in the stomach in the second agd there he stayed until the ten seconds had been tolled off and Casey was a safe distance away. Frank Mayfleld put up & game fight against the veteran Gus Salisbury, but the latter jabbed himself to victory With an unerring straight left. Jim Fox fought Harry Chester all around the ring and won about as he liked. Chester was all but In on several oo- casions. He made one relly in the final round, but it came too late to do any good. Charles Dunn outfought old George Curran in a hurricane bout. Jim Gallagher gained a hairline verdict over Chick Lawler, Frank Wells beat Billy Edwards and Spider Collins out- pointed Harry Baker.
