SOPEREEESE e T L New Library and Museum and Agricultural | College to Cost a Big Sum. Regents of ' Us A marked advance toward the con- struction of the new University of California was made by the Board of Regents of that institution at a meet- ing held at the Hopkins Institute of Art yesterday afternoon. The Committee on -Buildings and| Greunds filed a report with the board | recommending that work begin imme- diktely on the construction of a library and museum in accordance with the pians of John Galen Howard, the uni- versity architect. These plans, it was stated, were found to be highly satis- factory and In conformity Wwith the geéneral scheme for the reconstruction of the university buildings. Though the library when completed will cost in the neighborhood of $2,000.- 000, only one wing will be constructed in the immediate future at a cost of something over $600,000, of which more | than $100,000 is on hand and the rest promised for the purpose. After some discussion it was decided to resubmit] the question of the coflstruction of this wing ; to the Committee on Bu Grounds for the further determination of the merits of the details of the Howard plans, and| then to place ite second report in thé pands of the Finance Committee for definite action. From the statements of members of the board yesterday it is evident that this great work will soon commence. - 3 b Another recommendation was made Ly the board that action be taken to secure in the near future a building for the agriculture department and the; purchase of a farm for the carrying on of the practical work that attaches to department. PARDEE PLACES LIMIT. ! Tho! was stated that Governor| !nih B N lew of the many other | needs of ., would not sanfuonl appropri larger than - $350,000 | in an for this building and farm, the com-| mitte recommended that an appro-| priation of $200,000 for the construction } of the building and one of $75,000 for the purchase of a farm be applied fi.)r;E It was stated that the building will} be constructed on .the university grounds in conformity with the general plans, but just where a suitable farm can be found remains to be determined. The entire question was referred to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee also had| placed in its hands for final d?\:{l‘millu-‘ tion a recommendation that $5000 be | appropriated for the construction of suitable buildings at the forestry sta- tion at Santa Moniea. The buildings| on the station lands, which were pre-| vented to the university by ex-Senator | John P. Jones of Nevada, were recent- | ly burned. It was also stated by a member of the board that if the lands} now held by the universary were mot} satisfactory for the purpose Senator| Jones will donate other lands In the| immediate vicinity. In view of this| new offer of Senator Jones it was 8e- cided that the question of appropria- tion should be put over until such time as the question of location can be de- termined. Another important question taken up by the board was as to whether or not the university should send its educa tional exhibit from the St. Louis Ex- position to the Lewis and Clark Cen- tennial Exposition, which will open at Portland, Or., next year. ?President Wheeler sald that the exhibit had been awarded four grand prizes, one gold medal and one silver medal by the St. Louis judges and he recommended that the exhibit be sent morth. After some discussion it was agreed to sub- mit the guestion to the finance com- | mittee, which will ask the Legislature, which meets next month, to make an appropriation for the purpose. QUESTION OF SECRETARY. The question of the appointment of a secretary to the board was. next taken up, and at the recommendation of the finance committee, notwith- standing the protest of Regent Budad, was allowed to remain as it now stands. The finance committee -said that it thought it inexpedient at this time to make any recommendation and that tbe present situation, with an_acting secretary doing the work, be permitted to prevail. Regent Budd id that in his opinion it was ‘illegal, when the board had authority to ap- Wint a secretary at will, to permit the secretary’s salary. His protest re- sulted in the guestion being put to a vote with the result that Budd was supported by only one of hig col- leagues, Ellinwood. It now looks as though the new year will be growing old before this question is finally set- tled. Regent Budd asked that the board make an appropriation of $500 to carry on experiments in flax culture in Cali- ments conducted at Stockton had de- termined that it could be grown here. and that if experiments demonstrated that it eould be grown on a commer- cial basis it would open a new indus- try that would mean miilions to the State. Professor Hilgard, he said, had stated that flax was indigenous to the State and could be grown any- where within its borders. The ques- tion will be finally determined at the | next meeting of the board. CAN ESTABLISH HOSPITAL. A communication from the attorney | of the board was received stating that the desire of the faculty of the College of Medicine of the university to re- ceive a fund for the establishment of | a hospital within the grounds of the | Affiliated Col'eges was entirely within | the law and that the board might ad- minister such fund. As donations for such a purpose have been offered it is probable that within the near future a hospital will be established that will | enable the students of the college to secure practical experience under the | direction of the physicians that com- pose the faculty of the college. In accordance with the recommenda- tion of President Wheeler the resigna- tiop was accepted of Dr. Martin « H. Fischer as assistant professor of physi- ology, and Dr. John Bruce MacCallum was appointed assistant professor .of physiology in his place. s R. E. Mansell, who has had much ex- perience as a landscape gardener in England, was appointed gardener of the college of agriculture at a salary of $76 per month and was given the use of one of the university cottages. Mrs. Zelia Nuttall was appointed field director of the Crocker-Reid re- search in Mexico, a work of anthro- vological investigation. which is sup- ported through the aid of Mrs, Wil liam H. Crocker of San Francisco and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid of New York. Resolutions were presented from the farmers’ institutes at Willits, { was { Britton. | J. P.

Twight was changed from as- ani professor Jf viticulture and ‘ermentative industries to lecturer in | zymology and enology PRIVATE SCHOOLS TAXED. i Upon the recommendation of Presi- ! dent Wheeler the board decided to| amend its code so as to provide that every private school of the State shall be charged a uniform fee of $5 for examination by the university authori- tiés as to its right for a place on the list of accredited schools. Heretofore the private schools of San Francisco, Oakland and Alameda have been ex- empted from the payment of this fee. This fee is apart from the expenses of: the examiner, which will also be charged against the school examined for listing. The attorney of the board rected to draw up an amend- bf the code in accordance with decision. n order to conform with the recent- ly adopted code of the Regents, a com- mittee appointed for the purpose rec- raent thi ommended that the standing commit- tees be reorganized and recommended that they be appointed as follow: and supplies—Regents Taussig, Ellinwood. Agricu and experiment gents Budd, Rowell and Barl. Colleges of medicine and dentistry—Regents Reinstein and McEnerney.

Hearst ta the State she shall become a member of the committee on grounds | and buildings. Before these recom- mendations are’ finally #ted upon they ‘ill be submitted to Governor Pardee for his approval. The board wili meet on the 27th inst. at 11:20 m. for the purpose of con- ferring degrees on graduates of the various colleges. ———— S BEFALL . JOHN LEE AND SON stations—Re- Charles 8.

Bolger had a good look at | the thief in civilian’s clothes and is cer- | tain that he could identify him. | Bolger was walking along Fourth avenue to his home near the Golf Club when the command ‘“Hands up!” rang, out. Two men stepped out of the shrub- bery and a big revolver was leveled at Bolger's head. He obeyed the order. The man in the soldler's uniform quickly stepped 'behind him and pro- ceeded to turn his pockets inside-out. “Shall I take.his watch?” asked the man in uniform. “Take everything he has' said the| man with the revolver.

As soon as Bolger reached home he | called up Captain of Detectives Burnett and made a report of the matter. At first it was understood that the hold-| up had occurred in the club and Detec- | tives Bell and Armstrong were detailed to Investigate.

FAVORS NATIONAL PARK Moving to Have Government Reserve | the Pinnacle Region in San Benito County. The California Promotion Commit- tee will strive to have what are known as the “Pinnacles” in San Benito County set apart by the United States Government at a national park. 'R. P. Lathrop, representing the Califor- nin Central Coast Counties Improve- ment Association, is interested in the movement. He has had a large num- ber of photographs taken to send to ‘Washington. The “Pinnacles” cover an area of something like six square ' miles. They consist of massive rocks with huge spires jutting up hundreds of feet. These rocks in comparison with . their great height are narrow and are | in reality gigantic pillars of stone. The “Pinnacles” are gorgeously col- ored, red and blue, and have often been called the “Garden of the Gods.” The unique features of the “Pin- nacles” are Palisade Rock, which is 1500 feet high, divided into terraces, Knife Blade Rock and Indian Face. The region is filled with caves, bal- ancing rocks and grotesque phenom- ena generally. Subterranean passages with mushroom forms and huge uhderground pools of water are feat- ures of the Pinnacles. The report of President Jordan, Professor Dudley and Professor Kel- logg of Stanford University, n on fille in Washington, recommending that the Pinnacles be made a national park will be vigorously indorsed by com- mercial organizations of California. Congressman J. C. Needham will introduce a bill before Congress at this session setting aside these Pin- nacles as a national park. The Bu- reau of Forestry has sent a special agent, who has made a careful exam- imation of the Pinnacles, and his report is now on file' in Washington. New Things in Cameras.

York 1904, by the New York npany. LONDON, Dec. 13.—Continuing his avowal of the faith whereby all things | are possible with God to-day as they were in the past, even to the healing of the sick and the raising of the dead, Father Ignatius to-day proceed- ed to recount to a representative of the Daily Express various occasions upon which he has performed what he, calls miracles. One notable occa- sion was in the year 1862, when he and a fellow worker named Redman were awakened one night by a wom- an, who earnestly besought Father Ig- natius to come out and save her daughter, who was dying of typhoid. “‘Suddenly,” said Father Ignatius, “I felt the command of our Lord upon me and 1 rose up. All I said to my friend was, ‘Do bring your relic with you." He had a wonderful, beautiful relic, a piece of wood of the true cross. ““When we reached the house the girl was dead. She had been dead two hours and her body was already com- posed for burial. Upon an involuntary impulse, however, which 1 felt to be | inspired, I took the relic of the cross from my friend and laid it upon the dead girl's breast. Then I cried, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ, I say unto thee, arise.’ % ? “Slowly and stiffly the.gorpse arose in the bed and Redman, turning to me, cried, ‘What have you done?' “‘I have done.nothing,’ I replied, ‘but the Lord hath done great things, indeed.’ " After this Father Ignatius harked back to the first time when the word of the Lord came upon him. This was at Plymouth, where a mother declined to allow her children to be baptized. Father Ignatius told her the curse of God would fall upon her and within an hour the curse fell. Suddenly, with- out warning, the woman's fourteen- year-old daughter was stricken with idiocy and her whole body broke out from head to foot with most loathsome sores. But Father Ignatius cured her at the Lord’s command. At another time, he says, he sprinkled water on a man crushed be- neath a falllng stone and the man walked to his home. —————————— FIGHT BETWEEN NEGROES AND WHITES IN PASADENA Colored Man Tears Down Sign Posted by Easterners and Incipient Race ‘War Results.

LONDON, Dec. 14.—The Daily Tele- graph’'s correspondent at Chefu gives a rumor of the sinking of a big Jap- anese warship off Port Arthur on No- vember 30, 300 person being drowned, and of the sinking of two Russian tor- pedo boat destroyers by the Japanese on November 25. The first of these re- ported disasters is probably only an- other version of the sinking of the Japanese cruiser Salyen. FEARS ASSAIL ON ORIENTALS Placer County Farmer Says Roseville Ranchers Intend to Disturb Tenants’ Peace APPEALS TO GOVERNOR Complainant Declares That Japanese and Chinese Are to Be Driven From Lands Specfal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 13.—L. L. King, a rancher of Roseville, Placer County. called on Governor Pardee to-day to complain of the alleged intention of a number of residents of Roseville to ex- pel the Japanese renters from his ranch and to drive all the Japanese and Chinese from that section. King said the Japanese on his place had armed themselves and were prepared to fight. Governor Pardee told the rancher he would urge the Sheriff of Placer Coun- ty to protect the lives and property of the Orientals. It is said the Japanese Consul in San Francisco has been ap- pealedgo by King. The ranchers of Roseville recently held a large and representative meet- ing. It was orderly and not at all warlike. It passed a single resolution, one denouncing the employment of Jap- anese or Chinese as inimical to the welfare of Roseville, and appointed a committee to present the resolution to employers of Japanese or Chinese and ask their support to the movement. Another meeting Is called for Friday night. Roseville people say there is not the slightest cause for King’'s fears and are astonished that he should have appealed to the Governor. — e OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Cranges in Postal Service in Califor- nia—Patents Issued to Residents of the State.
