J. Wickson has advised President of the University of Athens, Ga., that opinton nothing will be lost and some in his things may be gained by postponing the mest- ing of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations in California until after the session of the National Educa- tional Association here next summer. Dry humor is not lacking in Protessor Wick- son’s advice to President White, who is chair- man of the executive committee in charge of the arrangements for the agricultural scl- entists’ meeting. Professor Wickson's letter to President White, forwarded to-day, was In response 1o a letter from White, in which the latter asked if it would be agreeable to the Californians if the agricultural men met here in August or September. It had been suggested before by Professor Wickson that the arrangements for the entertainment . of the National Educational Association might be taken advantage of by the agriculturists that were coming next summer. This 8ug- gestion_was not apparently feasible, as Presi- dent White is obliged to decline it, and asks for a later date. Professor Wickson replies as follows to this request, the answer practically making it certain’ that the agricuitural savants will be here in August or September next: My Dear President White: I haste to. tell you of the joy and satisfaction which your ietter of February 2 conveys. By choosing & later date than that of the National Educa- tional Assoclation our agricultural instructors and research men will lose something of the spectacular hospitality which will be set forth in the metropolis for the teachers. But my recollection is that it used to be easier to have & good time and to get more directly at what one wished to do aftet the t It will still be s0. An Augus will find more fruits ripe and more things being dome with them. Our two universities will be in regular .session. The individuals and organizations, which most appreciate agri- cultural work ahd workers can give them special welcome and hospitality out of the crowd. On the whole I am now fully con- vinced that the later date of meeting is de- sirable. ““As for date, I think it makes no difference to us whatever. Proceed from your own points of view in that matter. ““Our station staff will take up at once preparations for the meeting. The matter will {be in the personal charge of Professor M. E. Jaffa, who served the assoclation so acceptably Guring its last meeting in California, “1 shall communicate immediately with the Californians who have expressed most interest in the coming of the association and they will | take up their features of the event actively, “I am delighted with the outlook and desire to express our sincere thanks for the favors you show us.’ Jumes H.

McNULTY IN COURT Hears Attorney for Her Son Lester Talk for a Day About the Alleged Attack OAKLAND, Feb. 9.—Like a tiger prancing behind the bars of his cage just before the feeding hour Abraham Lincoln Frick to-day pranced and shook his head before the jury that is trying Lester C. McNulty for a felo- nious attack upon Dorothy Olsen. And @rick pranced and talked and shook his head all day long, and at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon he had not fin- ished. He will talk again next Mon- day morning, and the burden of his talk will be, as it has been, that Dorothy Olsen willingly submitted to the alleged attack on the Berkeley lawn, Frick yesterday followed Everett J. ! Brown, a deputy in the District Attor- ney’s office, who, in a forceful argu- ment, branded Lester C. McNulty as a liar. Brown also branded J. A. Mar- shall, who was the employer of the Ok sen girl, as one who had not told the truth. Frick also passed the le sev- eral times yesterday, and to-day he was even stronger in his accusations. One feature of the case to-day was Frick's frequent reference to the fact that Brown had said Dorothy Olsen was intelligent. Before the arguments are ended Dorothy promises to become a phenomenon, so'far as intellect is concerned. It was Frick's purpose to show that Lester McNulty did not assail Dorothy Olsen, but that he met her, as he has said on the witness stand, as the re- sult of a slirtation on a streetcar. Frick was vehement in his remarks, and his volce was often raised to a pitch that could be heard throughout the court- house, and, at times, on the street. Frick said—and often repeated—that Dorothy Olsen was the one who had led. “Does a mian sit staring at the back of a woman's head?” Frick shouted. “Does that square with your knowl- edge of human affairs?” “This woman is intelligent,” he con- tinued. “The fact that she is intelli- gent has Dbeen hammered into your heads by the prosecution. We admit that she is intelligent; tnat is why we believe she lied.” Then Frick went over the testimony. piecc by plece, and declared that the girl, who says she was attacked, when- ever cornered by questions, fell back on the assertion that she did not re- member. “Let's try this case man-fashion, fair " he insisted at the height ie “That is all this defend- The principal peint made by Frick was the location of the struggle on the lawn. He declared Miss Janet Forbes, who was called by the prosecution, to have been truthful, and he said her story showed that McNulty and the girl were within fifteen or twenty-five feet from the coping. “How could Me- Nulty, with one arm, carry the woman that distance?”’ he asked. He called attention to the fact that the girl tes- tified that McNulty carried his over- coat over his Jeft arm and did not use it. And he also recalled that the girl testified that McNulty had used both hands in tearing her garments, and yet continuously held his right hand over her mouth. He said he couldn’t under- stand why she hadn’t screamed before if McNulty had carried her fifteen feet in one arm to the place on the lawn where Janet Norbes saw them. “I leave it to you,” he exclaimed, “whether Dorothy Olsen was fighting for her honor, or had engaged in a lit- tle flirtation and squealed when she was caught—-whether that statement re- garding the lawn sprang from a pure heart and a true mind. Why did she not cry out at first?” ¥or the first time singe the trial be- gan Mrs. J. M. McNulty, mother of the defendant, appeared In the courtroom to-day. She was accompanied by Mrs. J. Parsons of Berkeley, and sat with her husband, Dr. McNulty, and Lester. Dorothy Olsen was not present in the morning, but appeared with a woman friend in the afternoon and sat with bowed head when Frick resorted to invective and spoke of her torn gar- ments. “Who is the lar, who the perjurer?” Frick was shouting when Judge Harris adjourned court until next Monday morning at 9 o'clock. —_————————— CHINESE SHOT AND HACKED WHILE COLLECTING A BILL Lung Hing was shot in the groin and severely cut with a cleaver late last night by two other Chinese in a basement at 623 Washington street. After being Injured Hing escaped from the basement and ran up Kearpy street, then up Jackson toward Du- pont. He had a large knife in his hand and pedestrians who happened to see him were given a scare. James Dow- ney, a special policeman, and L. C. Erquhart apprehended Hing in kis wild flight. He was sent to the Central Emergency Hospital. Hing told Detectives Bunner and Freel, who were detailed on the case, that he had been assailed by two Chi- nese, who were formerly friends of his. The trouble occurred over a small amount which Que Gee owed Hing. When he tried to collect the money Gee drew a revolver and shot him. The other Celestial took part in the fray and struck Hing with a cleaver. Hing pulled a knife to defend him- self and managed to reach the street before they could make another attack upon him. e WILL CUT AWAY MORE OF BAR AT SAN DIEGO BAY ENTRANCE SAN DIEGO, Feb. 9,—Captain J.

STILL OBJECTS Appointment of Bittner and Removal of Allen Serve Almost as a Boomerang QUAD CLUB IS SAFE New Editor Tells Faculty Predecessor Did Not Repre- sent “Malignant Minority” Special Dispatch to The Call STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 9.— President David Starr Jordan of the Stan- ford University to-day stated that the men who signed the petition drawn up by the Quadrangle Club, in which was voiced objections to the present student affairs committee, will not be obliged to appear before the advisory committee though he had previously announced that they should do. Dr. Jordan states that it will not be necessary for the signers to ap- pear for the reason that as the com- munication makes no specific charges there is nothing for the signers to ex- plain. The document will, however, be presented to the advisory council next Tuesday evening for consideration. Last evening the newly elected editor of the Daily Palo Alto, H. P. Bittner, | upheld the actfon of the Quadrangle Club, citing it to the faculty as :vidence that the recent editorials by B. S. Allen were | not the voiced sentiments of a “small and malignant minority.” The article in part is as follows: The statement made by the president of the university that the suspended editor of the Dally Palo Alto ‘“represented a small but ma- lignant minority of the students” does not | seem to be borne out by the communication which was sent to the president last night, and to which are attached the names of many prominent men and women students who repre- sent a majority of the student body of this university. On the contrary it would seem from the almost unanimous approval of the statement by the students that it is a small minority which does not sanction the deposed editor’s 1deas. The action of the Quadrangle Club has re- celved the sanction of more 1han two-thirds of the men and women in college—students who represent the best element in “the university community. It has been praised likewise by numerous members of the faculty, and should receive the serious consideration of the presi- dent. Every fair-minded man and woman ac- knowledges that the only solution of the pres- ent trouble is & general reorganization of certain faculty committees. This applies di- rectly to the student affairs committee. e SCOTT COLLECTION . OF PICTURES SOLD NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—The collection of pictures, old and modern, made by the late Irving M. Scott of San Fran- clsco, was sold to-day for $73,750 by order of his executors under the direc- tion of the American Art Assoclation. There were only fifty-seven canvases, and this meant a fair average of prices. A number of the pictures were bought in by’ an agent for diiferent members of Mr. Scott's family. Rembrandt's portraits of himself as a young man brought the highest price of the even- ing, $6000. Millais’ “Ducklings”™ brought the second highest price, $5100. Hoogh's “Een Boterham™ brought $4256.
