Nearly all said they were prevented obeying the order of Captain Nance by those who composed the mob of riotous students on the campus on that famous day. Captain Nance sald: “‘Give me the names of the men who prevented you." The men regarded this as an attempt to make them ‘peach” on their comrades and refused. Captain Nance is now preparing a report to the university authorities. It is believed that, in accordance with his attitude taken at the beginning of the affair and maintained since, he will recommend the dropping from his class of nearly all the sixty-three students who failed to give him satis- factory explanation of their conduct.

Gayley ENGLISH IDEA REVIVED Ben Greet’s Actors to Be Seen in the Production of “Star of Bethlehem” Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Nov. 16. Despite the fact that the old miracle play of Professor C. M. Gayley’s is to be produced indoors to-morrow instead of on the stage of the spacious Greek Theater at the university, there has been no diminution of interest in the production nor any cessation of de- mand for tickets. Had the skies re- mained clear and the sun shone as usual the Greek Theater would have been used and Ben Greet's company of English players would once again have made that place resound with their sonorous voices, this time in “The Star of Bethlehem” instead of “Hamlet” or “Everyman.” Harmon Gymnasium is to be the scene of the production of the miracle play. Two performances are on the programme, one for the after- noon and the other for the evening of to-morrow. Rehearsals of the 'play were held there to-day by Ben ireet and his company. They are enthusi- astic over the lines and the possibilities for picturesque effects in the situations devised by Professor Gayley. Their enthusiasm is shared by Mr. Greet, who has arranged to give productions of “The Star of Bethlehem” through- out California, following its initial pre- sentation at the university. —_———————— KINIRY'S BOOTY IS FOUND BY LOS ANGELES POLICE Nearly $1000 Worth of Stolen Jewelry Recovered and Restored to Vic- tims of Burglar.

Deserted by a husband who had abandoned her after a few weeks of married life, Bessie Bash Howell was granted a divorce to-day from Gardi- ner Howell, a young man whom she met on a train and was urged to accept by her mother, who believes in love-at- first-sight marriages. The young di- vorcee is not yet 21 years of age. Gardiner pretended to be a million- aire and for a short time lived up to his pretensions. He deposited a check for a large sum to the credit of his i prospective bride at a Berkeley bank and a few days later they were mar- rigd. The check proved to be. bogus. Gardiner proved to be addicted to the use of morphine and was detected stealing a box of the drug at a store in Lorin. In order to escape punisfment for his offense he ran away. Gerda Taft, who was granted an in- terlocutory decree of divorce from An- son C. Taft a year ago, was given a final decree to-day on the ground of neglect and desertion. —_———————— MILLIONS TO BE SPENT ON HARRIMAN LINES Vast Sum Will Be Used to Perfect Railroad Properties in State # of Oregon. ) PORTLAND, Nov. 15.—Three million’| dollars will be expended by the Harri- man lines in Oregon during 1905 in improvements and general work on the maintenance of way ‘and structures.

The in- FOR GERMANY Some of the Emperor’s Pet Projects, Rejected Before, Will Be Put in Operation —_— DIET CHANGES COURSE PRASHNGS SIEEES Great Rivers to Be Used to Furnish New Avenues of Transportation in Empire ——— BERLIN, Nov. 15.—Emperor Wil- llam’s extensive canal projects, re- Jected by the Prusstan Diet in 1898 and 1901, are to be realized in part at least. The canal committee of the Diet, composed of the leaders of the parties controlling the Diet, has de- cided to support the measures for a canal connecting Hanover with the Rhine and for using the Weser for a canal from Hamlen downward, pro- vided Bremen will stand part of the expense. The canal will use about sixty miles of the existing Dortmund Ems canal and will have two outlets into the Rhine, one from the present terminus of the Dortmund Ems canal to Ruhrort and the second down the valley of the Lippe to the Weser. The | use of Lippe River for a canal will | also be carried upward to Hamm. The | total length, exclusive of the Weser, | will be 165 miles. The cost will be | akout $5,000,000. The vote on the Berlin-Stettin canal and other projects | was postponed. The committee’s action is regarded as Insuring the passage of the meas- ure through the Diet in its present form. The bill embraces a center party amendment, giving the Prussian Government a monopoly of propulsion in the canal by tug or electrical mo- | tors running along the shore. It ap- | pears that this amendment was the only thing which saved the bill, since it senders the measure acceptable to Qle part of the Agrarian element that hopes to compel the Government to keep freight rates high enough to compete seriously with railroads and thereby prevent the cheap transpor- tation of agricultural products and a consequent encroachment of foreign grain from the German market. Baron von Zedlitz, who was the leading spirit of the opposition to the’ canal bills in 1899 and 1901, is now trying to persuade the conservatives | to support the present measure in or- der to,close the breach between them and the Emperor caused by the re- Jection of those bi —————— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST !

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 15.—In a re- | port just recelved by Governor Par-| dee from the State Commissioners at | the St. Louis Exposition it appears that the California building, which | cost approximately $15,000, cannot be | sold for more than $150, less the fur- | niture, on the fair grounds. This is accounted for by the fact that this building, as are the others, | is located in a public park and will have to be removed or razed to the ground after the exposition. The Commissioners also report that pleces of furniture costing $10 each cannot be sold for more than $2 each, and | stitute will be in session three davs. —_———————— DEATH BRINGS RICHES TO CAPITALIST'S RELATIVES Will of Eldridge N.

FRESNO, Nov. 15.—Miss Evy Lit- tle, a Selma girl of 16 years, this morning lost her right eyve, the eye- ball having to be removed. She was watching her father, J. M. Little, open a keg of pickles and as he struck one of the hoops a small piece of steel flew from his hammer, striking the young girl in the eye. The bit of steel plerced the eyelid, entered the eyeball and was completely lost to view. Medical skill could not save the eye and it was removed this afternoon.
