While the dredging and trawling were the chief occupation other lines of work were not wholly neglected, particu- larly plapkton collecting and temperature taking. The propbsed run to San Diego was made, and from the days devoted to the work there & good impression of the biological con~ ditions of that region was obtained. For the work on shore on old bath-house was rented and converted into a simple labora~ tory. The summer of 1902 was likewise spent at San Pedro, but this year nothing wae done at sea, sttention being restricted to the littoral fauna. During both these seasons formal courses of instruction in 200logy were given as part of the regular unjversity summer session. Before the next summer the laboratory bufld- ing an! best ecollecting grounds within the small inner harbor at San Pedro had been destroyed_ by the harbor improvements being prosecuted there by the United States Gov- Owings to this and to encouraging proposale for financial ajd from San Diego, led hy Dr. Fred Baker, and to the good im- pression made by the experiences there In 1901, it was resolved, in the early spring of 1063, to move the base of operations to San Diego.

Dalton’s claim of $13,- | | 026 85 against Alameda County was rejected by the Board of Supervisors this morning. Dalton’s claim was based on the contention that the County Assessor is entitled to 15 per cent of the politax collected in the county, and covers the years of 1902, | 1903 and 1904. Three changes were made in the | staff of employes at the County In- firmary, the positions of A. Ebert and | P. Monson, two of the cooks, and B. 8. Page, the officers dining-room waiter, being declared vacant, and H. | 8. Carson, salary $55; E. Burrells, sal- ary $40, and J. Abbott, salary $25, were appointed in their places. A protest was made this morning against the granting of a license to L. B. Van der Grift for a saloon at the corner of East Fourteenth street and Liese avenue. The protestants, who appeared in person, were Mrs. R. H. Scott, Mrs. Armstrong, Mrs. Bayliss, Mrs. Benedict, all of whem live close to the site of the proposed saloon. Senator W. C. Ralston, residing in Fruitvale, requested that the Board of Supervisors assist in the lighting of Fruitvale avenue. He asked that the board bear one-half the expense of the lighting, the other half to be borne by the property owners along the ave- nue. The Supervisors declined to receive the report of former Horticultural Commisgioner P. J. -Keller, on the ground that he had been deposed and a successor appointed. In his report Keller states that it is his intention to bring legal action against those re- sponsible for his removal from office.

This conversation, the witness said, took place on the Thursday preceding the shéoting on Sunday. Mrs. Kruger explained that she was one of ‘the first to arive on the scene of the tragedy and that at first Mrs. Koehn said - her husband had shot himself. .

S. Commissioner Heacock Washes His Hands of Him and Judge de Haven Won't Touch Case. There was a muddle yesterday over the disposition of Sackett Cornell, the United States District Attorney’'s of- fice. being at sea about the matter.

An ordimance in- the number of saloons fromt lventy five to twenty-elght was adopt- ed and affairs looked bright for the saioon men. The issue was complicated, however, by the fact that one of the ecity fathers, Trustee Luscher, was accused of seeking one of the licenses a tenant of his own.

The department was organized three years after the foundation of the university. As a reason.for abolishing the department the university author- ities deelare that the nature of the work done in the wood-working shop in the last few years does not -war- rant the granting of a credit toward graduation. Eugene-Soule, the veteran manager of the shops, was an old time friend of Senmator Stanford.
