Hale was informed by President Wheeler this morning that he has been suspended until Au- university, gust, 1905. Hale is editor of the Daily Califor- mian, a student publication which prints the news of university affairs| and is conjrolled and edited by col- legians. The editorial policy of Hale, | with regard to dispute between Captain tary instructor at| the university, and the senior class| which objected strenuously to Nance's | marching orders, is responsible for the ! goung editor’s suspension. The stu- dents’ affairs committee considered his | case a week ago, summoned him to ex- | his conduct, heard his explana- | and defense and then recommend- | ed his suspension for a time that equald & college year.

Later the president said “Mr. Hale is suspend- ed upon the recommendation of the students’ affairs committee, which con- eidered that his two editorials preced- | ing the disturbance on the campus1 were partly responsible for the trouble.” Professor W. A. Setchell of the stu- dents’ affairs committee which convict- ed Hale, was on the campus during the | riot and tried to preserve order. | Professor Setchell, at Hale's hearing, cited Hale's editorial in which he re- | ferred to the military class as a mil- | ftary kindergarten and to Captain Nance as a “‘schoolmaster,” informing Hale that the entire tone of his edi- | torial had encouraged the semiors to rebel as they did. Hale talked a few days ago of carry- ing the cases of classmen who might be dismissed from college as a sequel to the riot to the academic senate and appealing to that court of last resort. He said to-day, however, that he has mo complaint to make and will not contest the action of the .university authorities. He resides at San Diego and will leave at once for his home.

The Grand Jury met to-day after an adjournment lasting over a month, made its final report and was dis- charged by Judge S. P.

In regard to other county affairs the report states that a preceding Grand Jury had gone over the ground so re- cently that there was little for it to do. The county offices had only just been examined, and there was no necessity for appointing an expert to have the work gone over again.

POINT RICHMOND, Nov. 23.—The census ordered by the Board of Su- pervisors prior to the incorporation of the town shows that the settlement that is embraced in the general name “Point Richmond” is now the largest town in Contra Costa County ani that i* has a population of about 5000 and is still growing. Within the lines that have been set hy the Supervisors as the limits of ‘lhe proposed town of Richmond there population of 3500 people. These nes do not include the entire popula- tion of the district, for many import- ant points have been omitted from in- corporation because the corporations owning the properties did not wish to pay city taxes. It is estimated that at least 1500 people have been left outside of the proposed town, so that the population of the district is now fully 5000. The petition for incorporation will come before the Supervisors at their next meeting. | Bherwood valleys of the Klamath region.

After delving deep into the secrets of | the river terraces of the Orleans Basin | in California, Oscar Hershey of the ge- i ological department of the university | | 1 in a lengthy and exhaustive bulletin issued to-day from the press of the uni- versity.

So far, in the Orleans Basin, 1 have failed to secure authentic evidence of the presence of man until after the completion of the $5-foot terrace. Mr. Hershey’s bulletin outlines the bedrock geology and the gecmorpho- geny of the region, and includes a de- tailed description of the various ter- race remnants with a summary of their characteristic features and differences. Concerning the age of the terraces, Mr. Hershey says: 1 arbitrarily reduce the assigned age of the highest terrace to 250,000 years. The portion of the Sierran Canycn above the 850-foot ter- race s more than three times as deep as that below, sevéral times as wiGe, and has charac Quaternary glaciatic teristics indicaiing a much greater age. It is undoubtedly ¢ ative to ssign it a perlod of erosion not more than three times as great as the age of the highest terrace, or )00 years. This ylelds a total nge for the rran anvon of 1,000,000 years, and that figure also represents my idea of the probable length of the Quaternary era. Thie Sherwood Valley has the appearance of heing at les five times as old as the Sierran Canyon, or 5,000,000 vears. The geolcgiste who are working the Pacific Coast country are in clinea to assign much longer periods of dura- tion to the Pliccene and Pleistocene than do {tiose whose field liek in the Eastern, States.

SOCIETY THANKS. —_—— By Zoe Green Radcliffe. appear to me to be OAKLAND, Nov. 23.—To-morrow, Wwhether we have anything to be particularly thankful for or mot, we will all observe the old and pleasant if somewhat pagan custom of sac- rificing the proud gobbler in annual thanks- giving t6 the gods that have smiled benignly upon us since our appetite for turkey was last appeased. Teas and card clubs are forgotten for the nonce and many a well-known soclety woman's superintending, with unusual and un reserved pleasure, the preparations for the yearly dinner, that to be really good must include the old-fashioned dishes that ‘‘mother used to make.’ The number of society women who are really artists in the way of concocting & noteworthy meal is surpriging, and the day seems not far off when belles will boast of their housewifely ability. Few homes will be without the browned Thanksgiving bird to-morrow, among those who entertain family parties every year be- ing the Chabots, the R. G. Browns, the J. R. Scuphams, the Wheatons, the Thomas Crellt: and nearly all of the oid and large famille Where sons, daughters and grandchildren are gathered about the festal board.

Story, and Mrs. C. E. Jones read a paper on the ‘“Medici' Family.” Fra Angelico was the subject of Miss M. D. Manning's discourse. Dr. F. A. Lacey spoke at. length on ‘“'Our Public Schools.”” Some lady, whose name has escaped my memory, contributed two very delight{ul whistling solos. One of the many things Oaklanders have to be thankful for is the delightful glimpse into the world of art that C. P. Nielson, that clev- er California water colorist, is giving us this week, He is exhibjting forty or more pictures at Saake's studio on Telegraph avenue and among them are many delicious bits reminis- cent of his recent trip to Old Mexico, as well as views of Monterey and San Francisco's famous Chinatown. Miss de Neale Morgan, another local artist, is exhibiting her work dufing this week and next at her home, 611 Nineteenth street. Miss Morgan spent the summer at picturesque Car- mel-by-the-ssa and brought back several in- teresting studies, both in ofl and water coigr.

FEREES The toasts at the Federation luncheon in Alameda yesterday were unusually bright and witty. Although the titles were all high sounding and dignified, the toasts were bur- lesques and extremely clever. Mrs. Woodbury, who has a rare wit. was especially good.

Gorgeoys American Beauty roses filled the center of the table and the heart of every rose was a tiny incandes- cent light.

It is explained that Morgan gave or- ders to send High Tide, one of his horses, to pasture. The coachman by mistake sent King, believing it to be High Tide. When Morgan returned from Europe he gave orders that High Tide should be sold, so King was sold by mistake. Alfred G. Vanderbilt was the purchaser.
