On it were a watch engraved “A. H. B.” and two handkerchiefs with the same mark. The body was buried by the Coroner, unidentified. After having searched all through the Oakland and San Franeisco sanitariums and hospltals wwith no trace of the miss- ing brothér, Charles Bieger sought the ald of the police yesterday.

OAKLAND, June 26.—The Grand Jury today took up the consideration of matters left unfinished at its last meet- ing prior tp the earthquake, including that of the defaleation of the late County Treasurer A. W, Feidler. Deputy Treasurer Charles Husband, it is sald, hae been offered a position in the Rast and wishes to leave town and wants the investigation disposed of be- fore he goes. Bome testimony has been offered to the effect that he had knowl- edge of what Feidler was doing and that he had madé himself liable by not informing upon him. Ldte tuls afternoon the Grand Jury had Judges Elisworth, Ogden, Waste and Harris in consultation, but no defi- nite action was taken in the matter. Husband's statement to the Grand Jury was to the effect that he discovered that Feidler had used some of the funds | of the county for hi¥ personal use, but | that he had made the amounts good. | When he finally began to dip into the | funds welonging to Itigants in the | courts Husband's claim is that he had no way of knowing whether the fund was short or not, as Feldler had this | money in his own keeping. | el heCmnosconiy | ANDREWS’' JEWELRY SOLD. | OAKLAND, June 26.—The jewels left | by Milton Franklin Andrews when he and his women compenion, Nulda Pe- | trie_Olivia, met death in a McAllibter- ree¢t lodging-house last winter, were 10,- | \ | PERSONAL.

MANY ATTENDING SUMMER SESSION Falling Off_. in Enroll- ment Not So Large as Expected. Registration—for School on Opening Day Is_644. BERKELEY, June 26.—The univer- sity authorities jubilantly announce to- day their belief that the summer schoel will almost equal in point of numbers the session last year, and this in spite of the cloud that was cast over the prospects of this year by the disaste in San Francisco. The recorder issued the following statement, including figures, today: The summer session of the Univer- sity of Californfa opened with a total registration of 644, as compared to 751 registered on the opening day of last ear. THhe Jate registrations last year tought the total up to 785. There will be a considerably larger per- cenufia of late registrations this vear than last owing to the fact that the Bastern students will avall themselves Thtes which were effective of the chea June 25. From present indications the attendance at the session this year will be nearly the equal of and may possibly exceed that of last year, not- wuhg'mndhm the fact that many peo- ple were deterred from attending on account of the San Franclsco fire. Con- trary to the expectations of some the students have all secured accommoda- tions at the same average rates which tevailed last year for board and 0d fi Fh,ere are still plenty of -«?- commodations for all those who wil come, e special rate of one fare Yestetrday afternoon the cases of five Chinamen charged with gambling were | set for hearing Before Justice of the| Peace ‘Cone, but again the magistrate !fuxleq to appear.

OAKLAND, June 26.—A sensation was | sprung in the trial of Percy Pembroke | this afternoon when George Blaker and | | John Sechneider, both serving life sen- ;tencefl for complicity in the crime, re | fused “to take the stand and testify |against Pembroke. Under the rule of |law that the testimony of a witness glven at a former trial cannot be read as long as the witness is within the | jurisdiction of the court it precludes | the vidence of the two youths getting before the jury. Distfiot Attorney Al- len finds himself in a ition probably never paralléled. Both youths are un- der life sentence and cannot be pun- |ished for contempt of court, and .it |looks as though the important evi- dence given by them will be lost to the prosecution. Blaker's testimony was most impor- tant, for in all the confessions made by | Pembroke and Schneider neither pre- tended to say what actually took place when Thomas Cook, their victim, gave {up the moriey sack. Pembroke says that he ran away when he saw Blaker and Schnelder strike the first blow. | Schnelder says that he ran away when |he saw Pembroke and Blaker attack | Cook. In this way what actually trans- | pired after the first blow was struck and who took part in the attack were | matters left to the imagination of the |jury. Blaker at Pembroke's second |trial went on the stand and detafled | the entire crime, and it was mainly {upon his testimony that the prosecuiton was relying for a conviction. In explanation of their action Blaker and Schneider state thatithey are fear- ful of the workings of the “kangaroo ecourt.” While the court at San Quentin is a thing in name only, they state men are killed there for 1 and they in- tend to take no chances. Pembroke’s case, in the light of ta- ! day’s developments, looks much bright- ,er. With the elimination of the strong- ‘est ovidenee against him his attorney, Lin Chureh, and the boy’'s family have taken on new hope and a determined effort is to be made to clear him of the charge. The fathers of the three boys were all in court this afternoon, and a no- ticeable thing was that friendly rela- tions have been established among them. S —— e —— “GO-OP” STORES A SUCCESS. BERKELEY, Juné 26.—President Wheeler has written to J. B. Themas Jr., president of the college stores | corporation, a letter certifying to the prosperity of the “Co-operative” store on theé campus here. Thomas has used the letter, with communications from other universify presidents on. the subject, in a book desoriptive of the rise and growth of the co-operative, idea in university stores conducted for the benefit of students. The co-oper- ative store on the campus at Berkeley is the oldest in America, according to this booklet, having been started In 1884, two years beforé Harvard organ- ized its store. Yale gtarted such a store three years ago. Princeton's store is only a year old. President Wheeler's opinion regard- ing the “Co-op” here in his letter to President Thomas 1s as follows: “Déar Mr. Thomas: Our co-opéra- tive store at Berkeley is a thorough SucCess. We could not get along now without ‘it. It is well manag: and provides many supplies, such as text books, which it would not be easy on aceount of the isolation of Callfor- nia to get through ordinary shops. Its prices are reasonable and tend to pre- ‘vent overcharging on the part of shops in the town. At the same time the prices are not put as low as to inter- fere with other people's business. “An 8 per cent ate to purchasers at the end of the year has been‘found possible for the last three years, and meantime the stock of goods has stead- 1ly increased and improved."

His work on osmosis In plant cells is a classic whieh has riof only proved of fundamental importance to botany, but has led to far reaching generalizations in physical chemistry. The theory of solutions developed by Arrhenius, Van't Hoff and Ostwald is largely founded on the work of De Vries. His theory of heredity, founded on the pangensis the- ory of Darwin, has attracted wide at- tention among biologists. The devel- opment ef this theory led him to the conclusion that evolutisg must take place by sudden changes or leaps.

His masterly | grasp of the great body of facts In- volved In the study of evolution is equaled only by his patience and skill| in following up the obscure and frag- mentary clews which have eventually led to such brilliant success. Selen- | tists since Darwin have been able to| do little more than pile up accumula- tions of lifeless facts. De Vries by a single stroke of genius has vivified this great mass and put new meaning into the theory of evolution. He has ac- complished what most Darwinians be- lieved impossible. He has shown that evolution may be observed and ex- perimented with in the same manner as any other life process. Henceforth ev- olution is reméved from the limits of indfrect observation and speculation. The time has now come When it may be investigated by the sure and tried methods of direct observation and ex- periment. ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. FAILS TO FREFE GRANT.—Oakland, Jiune 20. Attorney R. E.

Each county is _now under tremen- | dous expense for the restoration of its | public buildings and may not be in a | position to ccatribute as largely as was | promised to the fund. For that reason the interested parties have proposed [that a less costly structure be built | and the expense adjusted so that the counties wouid not feel it se severely. | By some mew arrangement it is | hoped that the bridge, which is neces- |sary to the development of \’ur“ | Pale Alto and the outlying districtsd lmay be built during the summer.
