OR'SEVERAL DAYS. e | SCHNEIDER.STICKS 5 PO HIS'CONFESSION Repeats in Court Story Told to Sheriff of Attack On Cook. OAKLAND, Nov. 1.—The confession of John Schneider, given to Sheriff Barnet weeks ago in regard to the murder of | Thomas Cook out in Fruitvale last July, | were verified, to-day by his testimony on the witness stand, which was the sen- sation of the day's trial of George Blaker. Schneider admits his complicity in the affair, but says that when he saw the bludgeon raised to strike Cook fear struck his heart and he ran. The screams of the victim, he stated, added speed to his efforts and he never stopped until he got home. There was nothing particularly new in his testimony beyond the fact of his telling it. District Attorney Allen announced that Schneider was the last witness he would put on and it is expected that early ‘to- morrow the defense will begin putting in its side of the case. After Allen had finished the examination of Schneider, Attorney A. L. Frick for Blaker made a vigorous effort to have all of the tes- timony ruled out on the ground that he had been promised immunity by Jallor Pete White, who advised him that it would be better for him te tell all that he knew. Judge Melvin however ruled against him on this point and the evi- dence was allowed to ‘stand. Schneider was given an exhaustive cross-examination by Frick, ~ who tried to break ‘down his testimony, but the witness - stuck pretty well to the state- ment he first made. He said he saw both Blaker and Pembroke with thelr pieces of pipe uplifted, belaboring Cook and he saw a cigar shoot out of Cook's . mouth as the result of one of the blows. He said that Blaker told him the next morning that he got about $200 and wanted to know why he, Schneider, had run away. These statements Frick was unable to get him to vary and are now before the jury. HELLMAN PAYS FINE FOR SPEEDING AUTO Crusade Continues.and More ‘Warrants Are Sworn - Out. OAKLAND, Nov. 14—I. W.

C. Ord, a retired officer of the United States army, traced from King George IV of Eng- land through General James Ord. The storfes that tell of General Ord’'s relationship to King George and - the right of his descendants to a great estate in England because of the fact that King George married their ma- ternal great-greut-grahdparent, a Miss Fitzherbert, do not meet with Captain Ord's approval and he prefers such honor as an army man of high stand- ing achieves to the glory of being pointed out as a descendant of an Eng- lish King. Captain Edward O. C. Ord resides at 2201 Channing way. HIs wife ad- mitted to-day that Captain Ord is a nephew of General James Ord, the Cal- ifornia pioneer, whose surviving chil- dren are James Ord of Chicage, and Mrs. 8. W. C. Holladay of San Fran- cisco. More than this Mrs. Edward O. C. Ord refused to say in a discussion of the matter. Mrs. Ord intimated that the stories which bring/them into the limelight supposed to beat upon those evén distantly connected by fam- 1ly ties with a dead monarch are ex- fleedlngly distasteful to the Ord fam- y. “It makes it unpleasant for us even to go out upon the street,” sald Mrs. Ord to-day. “Nothing is gained by proclaiming the stories of the Ords’ re- lation to King George, and I must beg to be excused from giving out any facts about Captain Ord's Interest in ‘the matter.” Captain Ord was not at his home throughout the day or evening. He returned from the Philippines a year ago, after seeing active service there, and has apparently determined to make his permanent home in Berkeley. e NEW JERSEY DESCENDANT. Mrs. Samuel Harris Also Clatms Kin- ship to Royalty. NEW YORK, Nov. 14—Joy was brought home to at least one woman's heart bv the news which came from England that the papers left by Mrs. Maria Anne Smythe Fitzherbert had been opened in the Coutt's & Com- pany Bank in London and!' that they show Mrs. Fitzherbert to have been the wife of King George IV. The woman whom the news cheered is Mrs. Samuel Hairis of Kenville, N. J. Mrs. Harris tw born Rebecca Fitzherbert and she belleves she will yet prove that her grandfather was the.offspring of the union between the famous widow and the British King, thus establishing her right to a-share of the $25,000,000 es- tate which Mrs. Fitzherbert is said to have left. Mrs. Harris came to New York to- day'for the purpose of finding the rec- ords of her grandfather’s death. “My father, Thomas Edward Fitz- herbert,” said Mr. Harris, “would never speak of his own people. Once he hinted that he was related to titled people in England, and another time he sald he .was born in Dublin and came to America when he was eight years old, but more than that he would not say. In 1888, when he was dying, he told me something of his family. “I don’t know anything about the Ord family of San Francisco and Chi- cago who claim to be descendants of Mrs. Fitzherbert, but I am positive that my grandfather was Mrs. Fitz- herbert’s son.” TRUSTEES DOUBLE ; LIQUOR LICENSE FEE Berkeley Board Adopts Ordi- nance Increasing Tax on Saloon-Keepers.

OAKLAND, Nov. 14—With the idea of becoming famous as a newspaper corre- spondent, Victor J. Mesplou, aged 16 years, has brought down the wrath of many Eastern editors upon his head by sending to them ‘‘fake” stories of mur- ders and suicides around San Francisco bay. The boy is a pupll at the Polytechnic High School and has been taking a so- called course in correspondence through the mails. He sent to papers in Des Moinés, Keokuk, Buffalo, Spartenburg and other cities in the Middle West, stories of 'murder and suicide that were printed and frequent queries to the As- sociated Press resulted in establishing the fact that the stories were untrue. The editors who printed the “fake” storles are up in args and the boy will probably be proseculed. Mesplou lives with his widowed mother at 1061 Clay street. When seen to-day, he said: 1 did not begin to send these fake dispatches until last October. I got directions how to do the work from a man named Heacock, who advertises for correspondents. He said I must base my storles on fact, and I thought if a story was true, and had happened any pla I could send it from Oakland. I know it f wrong to He, but I did not think it would be wrong to send those dispatches. It has not yet been determined what action will be taken against the youth. —_——— SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR JEWS.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. U The wogst “Bogie” in the history of Stanford University has come and gone, but its effects are seill feit. cation which raised such a cry from the cothmunity was instrumental at the time in causing the faculty to issue an edict which is felt by a majority of the stu- dents to be a reflection on the student body. This edict of the authorities pro- vided that all manuseripts for publica- tion or production on the stage should first be submitted to a committee of one selected from the faculty. This was dons and that the comment raised by the edict has not yet ceased is shown by the strong editorial which one of the literary publi- cations contalns in its last lssue. The editorial coming from such a source appeals more to the students than it would otherwise. The editorial does not criticize eny action of the member of the faculty who at present holds the position of censor, but praises his tact. The precedent is what the article Is aimed at. In part it is as follows: Several weeks ago the student affairs com- mittee appointed a censor to pass upon the '07 Plug Usly before it might be presented. The action aroused a storm of protest which threat- ened at first to engulf the piay entirely and leave only its funeral service. Thanks, how- ever, to the tact of the man appointed to the unfortunate office, the storm was partly quiet- ed. We got our Plug Ugly as usual, we got something else along with it—a precedent for the censoring of student productions at Stan- ford. From every point of view the precedent is & bad onme; frem the facuity standpoint, because it increases the number of those police officer Qutles whose performance Inevitably makes a man the object of distrust among the students with whom he deals: from the student stand- point, because the new office, with all that it implies, promises to be a source of continual Irritation in future, as it is now an UNWAr- o ranted humiliation. But most of all it Is i the relation of the student to the university that the thing Is regrettable. It strikes close to the sources of our college loyalty. It puts a premium on excess. As long as human na ture is as it is, the sign ‘‘Trespassers Forbia d will be an_finvitation to enter, and to there is but one answer. ou dare not ORPHANS WILL SOON HAVE A NEW HOME mtractors Rushing Work on the Armitage Asylum at San Mateo.
