Meanwhjle the prompt orous action of the War Department in of the alleged offenders at the Uni- y of California deserves the heartiest endation. * If it brings home to the young a realization that orders are orders and st be obeyed, be they agreeable or other- offencing students will have Jearned damental lesson of the military ser¥jce, son without which all others are useless. A new development in the altercation between the seniors and Captain Nance occurred to-day when W, T. Hale, edi- tor of the students’ daily- newspaper, The Californian, oné of the most prom- inent men in the senior class, received a formal notice requiring him to ap- pear before the students’ affair commit- tee to-morrow nrorning at 11 o'clock. Hale supposes, ag. do others who have veceived similar notice, that Professor W. A. Setchell, a member of the com- mittee, who was pelted with grass and mud when the men rebelled against Nance's original order three 'weeks ago, is making good his threat that there would be more to come to the affair. Captain Nance has said that during the next twenty-four hours he will an- nounce what is to be the fate of the sixty-three men whose excuses are de- clared by him to be unsatisfactory. It is supposed he will recommend that they be dropped from the military class, and in consequence lose thelr di- plomas. There was talk on the campus to- day among the more hot headed men of going to Stanford in a body should be refused degrees at the Univer- where it | i B argument with Captain Nance. The more conservative leaders of the class, including Joseph P. Loeb, Eugene Hal- let, W. H. Dehm and W. T. Hale, dis- couraged the talk, declaring that no such proceeding could be thought of for a moment, no matter whatsthe outcome | of the discussion with their military in- | structor may be. b SUDDEN DEATH 0F A PIONEER Frank H.

Frank Henry Senram was a native of Germany and was one of the best- : known members of,the Germany col- { cny of Vakland, where he has resided for the last thirty-five years. During ; the greater part of that time he has | been enwaged in the shoe business con- ducted by himself and his son, Frank Senram Jr., under the name of F. Sen- | ram & Co.

Besides the matter of a final disposition of the cases the board has to deal with the charges filed against Policeman Frank Sill. In this case the evidence, according to Chief of Police Hodgkins, is weak and not of a char- acter to impress him with the guilt of the patrolman. The police officials have said they would go to the limit in pressing charges against men where evidence warranted drastic action, but they do not feel as if officers should have their names linked with the mal- odorous revelations of the last ten days unless the proof shall be very clear as to guilt. The appointment of a sergeant to fill the vacancy caused by Clark’'s dis- missal will be given consideration to- morrow. Patrolman Michael Shannon, who assisted in uncovering the opera- tions of the dismissed men, has been mentioned for the place, as has Police- man Rert Henderson, and Lon Agnew, clerk to the Chief of Police. Concerning his stand on publicity, President McElroy said to-day: *“If this evidence is made public I feel that another strong bulwark will have been raised against a repetition of such offenses as have scandalized the Police Department. Next to eriminal prose- cution I consider dismissal in disgrace and the utmost publicity as the best punishment.” e TARIAN MINISTERS DISCUSS CHURCH WORK U Meeting of the Central Pacific Con- ference Is Held in Oakland.

Pitcher | was accused of becoming engaged to Miss Harold of this city and a few days before the day set for the wed- ding unceremoniously breaking the \ | engagement. In disposing of the case the letter states that lack of evidence and a de- | sire on the part of the friends of the | young lady, as well as the publicity it | would bring to other persons, has de- | termined the department to cease pro- | ceedings. The letter is critical of Col- | onel Pitcher, and in closing contains | a severe reprimand for the \language | he used in communications to the de- partment. — ee——— CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY WEATHERS THE STORM Despite the Costly Waggamann Fail- ure Its Work Will Go On With Greater Vigor. WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. — The ‘board of trustees of the Catholic Uni- versity, which has been meeting here | for two days, adjourned to-day until the second Wednesday after Easter. At the university to-night it was an- nounced that notwithstanding the Waggamann failure, by which the university will lose at least part of $876,000, the work of the institution would go on with even greater vigor | than ever before. It was positively stated that no action was taken by the trustees re- garding the Marquise de Monsiters’ letter. Neither that nor the Wagga- mann failure, it was said, would stop the plans for the upbuilding of the university, and it was intimated that offers of financial assistance from Catholics throughout the coungyy had been made. For the preséfit the finances of the institution will be managed bv the committee appointed last year.
