OAKLAND. May 27.—Memorial ser- vices were ‘held today in several churches under direction of veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic. At Berkeley, Judge William H. Waste, of the Superior Court of Ala- meda County, delivered the memorial address tonight to the Veterans of the Spanish-American war, wbo attended memorial services in a body at the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church yuth. All the veterans of the war siding _in Berkeley were present. Judge Waste spoke in part as fol- lows: It seems but yvesterday, yet a few years less than ten have rolled by since be- loved President McKinley sent our mna- tion's soldiers and sailors into battle to avenge an insult ‘to our country's flag and to succor a downtrod and oppressed people. In the swiftly moving panorama of those days from 1898 to 1902 great events followed each other 8o swiftly that the Cuban war and the -Philippine insurrection are still like living pictures in_our minds We gather tonght to greet you. the sur- actors in the great struggle of | vears, and in the name of the| sent generation, in the name of your| untry, in the name of liberty to thank | »u.

Yhen spring, with dewy fingers cold, Return to deck their hallowed mold, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than fancy’s feet have ever trod. VETERANS' RESPONSIBILITIES. A grateful country has set apart a day on which to commemortae thé glorious deeds and deaths of our nation's heroes, | n occasion upon which we may also| unto you who are still with us: “We pr God's richest blessings may be yours and that to your own selves and to your country vou may always be true!’ In those days of war and conquest you | were equal to the responsible task set| before you and an honorable peace has followed your victories. *‘Peace hath her victories, no less renowned than those of war,” and in those conquests of peace- ful life your place is in the forefront. The responsibility of “this Government upon the people. The complicated inery by which the eighty miilion people of the United States govern them- s has never and never will answer to, a single will. The framers of our own constitution seeking. to devise a gov< ernment. that would secuse. tha biessing of liberty to themselyes and "thefr pos- terity established a government of the people, for the people and by the people. Jeclaring themselves free from royal in ffairs of the new nation, in “support of declaration with a firm rellance on the protection of divine Providence™ they mutually pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. More than a century has rolled around and the lives, fortunes and honor of Americans have never been wanting to make good this pledge of our forefathers. Today, no less than during the century past, requires the willing and unselfish co-operation of many minds, the com- bination of many independent factors, in every forward step for the general wel- fare” To adapt the governmental ma- chinery divided by our pure-minded fore- fathers of the eighteenth century to the complex and varied condition of this twentieth century requires an adaptability and confiding faith on the part of the masses of our people. For the sake of rinciple men must lay aside their dif- erences upon less important matters and ought everywhere battle together for the common - good. SIMPLE LIFE NEEDED. In these strenuous days of rlrld pro- gre: great mobilization of capital and accumulation of wealth, the simple aims and objects of the founders of our Gov- ernment are too often complotely for- gotten. A doctrine of greed and ambition too often misplaces our ideals of justice and fair play, and many of us could not give ready ‘answer to the self-imposed Question, “Am I my brother's keeper?” Happily for our country’s honor our nation’s history has been bright along this line. May no desire for aggrandizement, for national greatness or worldly position ever be our guiding star. American civilization wak~ established and built by men of severe and rugged virtue, who were deeply imbued with re- ligious principles and who were God-fear- ing and God-loving people. Their customs and law were pervaded with and almost controlled by _lofty purposes and high moral ideals. If our people and our na- tion is to continue to meeét and adjust the great social business and national problems in a way consistent with truth and justice therc must be a return to the simple life and living of our fore- fathers. Who shall lead us in our advance? No men are so capable of leadership than the trusted leaders and men whom they led in the time of their country’s confiict. You men of the United § ‘War Veterans, you have a remonaib ity you should not shirk. By the campfires in Cuba, in the trenches of Luzon, on the still sentry line and in the stirring bat- tles of the war, your souls were bein tried jn the fire of preparation thAt should fit you for a fuller and more useful ser- vice to your country than that in which you were then engaged.

BERKELEY, May 27. — Although the university students may be obliged to do without a blue and gold annual this year because of the destruction of the material for the book in the San Francisco fire, the class of '06 is determined that there shall be some record made and published g:h_r'- ing an. account of the doings of their class and other university bodies during the last year. Three students have been intrusted with the work of geting out a senior class record t6 take the place in part of the 1907 Blue and Gold. These three editors are Farnham Griffiths, Miss Gladys F. Meyer and George F. Jones. They met last Saturday and decided upon the pel- fcy which is to guide them in preparing matter for the book. The story of the record probably will be divided into three parts, one describing the work of the senior class during the college year just ended, a second relating to the general university activities during the year as conected with the sen.tr class and a third section .evoted to the stu- dents’ work during the fire in San Fran- cisco and the relief work done during the men and women. The record will be unique, and it is thought will be in al- most as much demand as would have been the ill-fated Blue and Gold of ’07. George F. Jones is to give especial atten- tion to the business details of the affair. Miss Gladys Meyer, a prominefit sorority girl whose engagement to marry Eugene R. Hallett was recently announced, will represent the ‘co-ed” contingent in the publication. Farnham Griffiths, ‘a Phi Beta Kappa man, a debater, will give most attention to .ae editorial work.

OAKLAND, May 27.—To the antics of a frightened cat George Jones, & colored man, owes the fact that he was arrested in_a saloon last night by Policeman Reinhardt and is now at the City Prison charged with burglary. Jones entered the saloon of Samuel Benedetti at 1040 Seventh. .street through a rear door at 9:30 o'clock and as he entered the cat became frightened and jumped through the front window, which was open.

Liquor men Help to Pre- serve Order Vol- untarily. OAKLAND, May 27.—Oakland was a ‘dry” city today. Every saloon man within the municipal limits who is affili- ated with the Knights of the Royal Arch, which organization controls the retail liquor trade, closed his doors last night at 7 o'clock not to reopen unmtil 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

OAKLAND, May 27.—When the pro- posed wedding of Miss Ollie Carson and John M. Freelanger at Los Angeles two years ago was stopped by the prospective bride’s big brother the couple did not lose heart, as was shown today when they were quietly married by Police Judge Samuels: at the City Hall. During all t.e weary months of waiting Freelanger kept the marriage license that he pro- cured in the southern city in 1904. Freelanger is a painter and decorator and was employed at Los Angeles when he met Miss Carson. They became en- gaged, the wedding day was set and the marriage license issued when Miss Car- son's brother returned from a trip to Mexico. Carson and Freelanger were not friendly and the brother refused to coun- tenance t! magrriage. The would-be groom left Los Angeles and the girl he had intended to make his wife, but they had a secret understand- ing that some day their marriage would be solemnized. He went to San Fran- cisco and later Miss Carson went to that city to live. Neither was aware of the presence of the other until after the fire, when they met in the refugees’ camp at Golden Gate Park. Quietly they came to Oakland today and found Judge Samuels in his court- room. Freelanger presented the old mar- riage license from Los Angeles County, but he was told that it was worthless here and he called upon Deputy County Clerk Johnstorf, who issued another. Then the happy couple were united. BT il i b e LONGWORTH PLAYS " HOOKEY FROM HOUSE T0 SEE BALL GAME Captured and Taken to the Capitol to Help Make Up a Quorum.
