The University of Chicago Press sent a letter offering sympathy and help. The letter closes as follows: ““We take this opportunity tos ‘express the heartfelt sympathy of the University of Chicago Press at the heavy calamity that has overtaken your State university.

It {s likely | that almost all of the volumes lost in the fire, which were in circulation in San Franeisco and elsewhere and so have not | been returned, will be duplicated when the |returns from the universities that are | helping now are all in.

BERKELEY, May 25.—An incipient riot and mutiny in the upper eighth-grade class of the McKinley school yesterday afternoon was followed by an order from Principal Biedenbach suspending more than a score of the offending schiol pu- pils. The riot began when a few ring- leaders of the class, standing in the school bujlding hall, interrupted the passage of the graduating class, which was on its ¢ from the recitation room of Mrs. ra M. Partridge to another part of the building. A “rough house” was startad, and despite the efforts of teachers to suo- due the refractory youngsters a tumalt ensued which completely broke up the order of the classes and left the pringipal {&pparently with ne other alternative than | to suspend =il of those supposed to be con- nected with the miniature riot. The éntire class was not deemed gutlty of particiption in the riot, but as Princi- pal Bledenbach found it. impossible to segregate the “sheep” from the “goats’ 11 But two of the upper eighth grade class vere suspended and directed to take their books and retire from the building until such time as investigation may establish | thelr gullg or innocence. i 0- Burglary Active in Dakland.

Svndicate, will be allowed to go ahead with the building of its proposed wharves and piers betwen the Key Route and the broad gauge piers. In giving his decision this morning Judge Waste sald: “While I was satis- fied with the result of our deliberations last week, my mind has become more firmly fixed in régard to the matter since ‘that time by the reading of a decision of the United States Supreme Court and tyo decisions of our own Supreme Court, | which bear directly upon this matter. In one of these cases the identical point is made that i§ raised here and I have no hesitancy to reaffirm the decision ren- dered, last week."" The petition fof a permapent injunction was submitted today upon practically the same points that were raised in the hear- ing last week, when the matter was thor- oughly argued by both sides to the con- troversy. Judge Waste gave his decision | as soon as the attorneys for the Daltons | and Attorneys Harmon Bell and Edward Enge for the Realty Syndicate had sub- mitted the case. The point made by Dalton’s attorneys is that their client has an inalienable right to access to deep water from his land on the bay shore. They claim that the bay at Tenth and Chester streets is navigable and that no matter what kind of a deed the Realty Syndicate may have obtained to it there is mo power in even the State to deed away the right of a private indi- vidual to an outlet to deep water. Dalton claims that if the Realty Syndicate is al- lowed to bufld its wharves and piers he will be shut off from an outlet to deep water. The elaim of the syndicate is that the water is not navigable for com- mercial purposes. WLLEJD WANTS - K UNION DEPOT Now Willing to Give Franchise It Refused Years Ago.

The company now has @ depot on Georgia-street wharf for its naval trafic, which is very heavy on ac- count of the discharged men of the nava! services of the Asiatic and Pacific squad- rons being paid off here. At South Val- lejo the trains from Santa Rosa, Napa and the Upper Napa Valley points trans- fer their passengers to the ferry-beat E! Capitan for San Francisco.

CLEVELAND, O., May 25.—George L. Lane, an employe of the Standard ©Oil Company previous to 1901, tes« tifed at the Interstate Commerce Commissfon Standard Oil hearing this afternoon that his business for al years for the Standard Oil Company was to drive out the inde- pendent . deal to kill them off, and he was told that if he could not do the work somebody else would be sent to put the Standard’s competi- tors out of business. “I was given rigid instfuctions and I followed them as closely as pos- sible. I succeeded in driving out all competition in a dozen big towns in Northern Ohio, and the only fajlure 1 made was in Youngstown, where a man by the name of Fahey stuck it out, notwithstanding that we spent as high as 36 a gallon to give oil away. The whole idea was to dis- courage the small independent deal- ers, buy his customers up at any cost. We represented ourselves as independents, but we got our supplies from the Sta L+ Willlam of Marietta, O., testified that the Standard, by its well known tactics, hid crowded him out of the oil business. Miss Elizabeth Protseman, a n..og‘- pher and bookkeeper in the _ayton (Ohio) office of the Standard Ofl Company, fled that information concerning the shipments of rivals was brought into tha office by draymen. and that she made a careful record of them and gave it to her superior. R John O'Beirn, general superintendent of the Lima division of the Buckeye Pipe Line Company, a Standard Oil Concern, was asked particularly about the Stand- ard Oil's telegraph system, especially-that part connected with the pipe Hne com- pany.
