FROM THE UNIVERSITY Our Berkeley Correspondent Sends Interesting Letter (Correspondence of The Gazette) Berkeley, Jan. 23.—The new year has begun with a registration of 3013 undergraduates, 303 more than on the corresponding day a year ago. This means an increase of eleven percent in a single year in the number of freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors enrolled at Berkeley. Besides these, graduate students enrolled to the number of 381, making a total of 3399 students at Berkeley. The students in San Farncisco, at the university farm, in the summer session, etc., will bring the university's total registration for the year well above six thousand. The good care taken of the health of the students is shown by the fact that there were 11,177 consultations or treatments at the student infirmary during the half-year which ended in December. During the same period there were 197 students who became bed patients at the infirmary, and 24 operations were performed. During the Christmas holidays the university glee club visited the northwest, giving with much success concerts at Portland and Eugene, Oregon, and at Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Hoquiam, Aberdeen, and Everett. The Mandolin club meanwhile visited the Hawaiian Islands on a concert trip. Nineteen essays were submitted in the competition for two prizes of $600 and $400 each, offered by Regent Truxtun Beale for essays on Tolstoi's book, "What Is to Be Done? The prizes will be awarded by a jury consisting of Professors Newcomer of Stanford, Leo Wiener of Harvard, and W. C. Mitchell of the university of California. F. M. Smith of Oakland has provided $3000 to support for two years reduction of import duty on raw sugar was made by the executive board of the Wisconsin state union, American society of equity, in session at Madison, Wis., Dec. 28, 1911. The growing of sugar beets on American farms is desirable because: The crop is less sensitive to weather extremes than many other crops. It is less subject to attacks by plant pests. Compared with intensive crops it removes comparatively little plant food from the soil. It stes as a soil conservator by improving the physical condition of the soil, and adds to the yield of other crops when grown in rotation. It increases diversity and adds assurance to the farm income. It offers a sure market from the fact that sugar beets can be sold at a fixed price, before planting. It increases the opportunity for labor to leave the crowded cities and find employment on the farms. It eliminates the middleman because sugar beets are sold directly from the farm to the factory, and Whereas, A reduction in the present rate of duty on sugar would tend to destroy the beet sugar industry in the United States, and Whereas, It will remove from the American farmer the opportunity to grow sugar beets, and Whereas, The American farmer needs protection because the farm labor in this country costs much more than farm labor in Europe or in tropical countries where cane sugar is produced, and Whereas, The operation of sugar factories during the winter months offers desirable employment to idle farm labor, and Whereas, Sugar is distinctly an agricultural product, therefore be it Resolved, That a sufficient import duty should be retained on sugar to understand that state men handlingings are supplying farmers in the dairy to be paid for by check or in long-term Dr. Keane, state state, has offered in this state free one who cares to might be well for selling or man thie up, before thie up, that these coeds by our very ennarian, as we believe future that a star enacted by the ing all dairy cow tuberculosis tested lie at the pres federal government effect, but as the state it does not work. Another thing that it is very d state will give and the cows that are berculosis. There well to see before contracts that all tested. DEAD BANKER Compromise Effect of Late D.

The prizes will be awarded by a jury consisting of Professors Newcomer of Stanford, Leo Wiener of Harvard, and W. C. Mitchell of the university of California. F. M. Smith of Oakland has provided $3000 to support for two years a Fellowship, the holder of which is to investigate the future needs of Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, and the other communities on the east side of San Francisco bay as to parks, the playgrounds, and similar public breathing-places. For the first of the university meetings of the term, the speakers were William Shakespeare of London, a Fellow of the royal academy of music, distinguished as musician and as composer, and A. C. Miller, flood professor of political economy and commerce, who had been on leave of absence for the first half-year. The Hitchcock lectures, a yearly course of lectures on scientific and practical subjects supported by an endowment provided by the late C. M. Hitchcock, will be given this year by Dr. Richard Mills Pearce, professor of research medicine in the university of Pennsylvania. His fine evening lectures, from January 22 to 26, will deal with Research in Medicine, a subject he is particularly fitted to treat since he has himself made important discoveries in the study of diphtheria, scarlet fever, and diseases of the kidney. The red scale, a dangerous enemy of every citrus region, in fighting which hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent in California every year, is described and means of combating it set forth in a bulletin by Professor H. J. Quayle, just issued by the university, which may be obtained by writing to the Agricultural Experiment Station at Berkeley. Professor Quayle's investigations were carried on at the university's Southern California pathological laboratory at Whittier. Among other bulletins by Professor Quayle which the university distributes are Spraying for Insects, Mosquito Control, and The Grape Leaf Hopper. Sir Robert Ball, long astronomer royal of Ireland, one of the most distinguished of British astronomers has recently expressed high praise for the work of Astronomer R. G.

Cook says that Senator Stetson of that county put through the bills establishing a registrar. In most counties the compensation is such that the natural arrangement will be to make the clerk the registrar of voters. In Alameda county the compensation is $3000 a year, and Cook says that the bill was designed to take the business away from him by making the compensation enough to appoint a separate officer. He says the "exigencies of the political game" so arranged it. He has started a referendum petition to change the law.. He asks all county clerks to aid in circulating the petition. County Clerk Williams is satisfied with the new law and will not take any part in the referendum matter. FULLERTON The city trustees have employed Sloan & Robson, municipal engineers of San Francisco, to make preliminary surveys, plans and estimates of cost for a municipal water works system and sewer, for which bonds will probably be voted when the issue is presented to the voters. The city is at present served by the Fullerton domestic water company, a private corporation in which Tarver Montgomery is the principal owner. The improvements are expected to cost at least $100,000. That there has been in the contest of Mrs. Thomas, therer who died last in the recording of Mrs. Jennie C. To Marian S.

Sir Robert Ball, long astronomer royal of Ireland, one of the most distinguished of British astronomers, has recently expressed high praise for the work of Astronomer R. G. Atiken of the Lick observatory in having discovered and determined the positions of more than twenty-four hundred new double stars. That the enormous beds of kelps which grow along the Pacific shores of the United States represent an undeveloped source of great national wealth is suggested by Professor W. A. Setchell, head of the department of botany of the university of California, in a report to the United States bureau of soils. At present the United States imports more than fifteen million dollars worth of potash yearly, from Germany. Professor Setchell estimates that a million tons of potash, worth forty million dollars, might be obtained, not once only, but every year, from the kelp beds along the California, Oregon, and Washington coast. Besides potash, to be used for fertilizing farms, this seaweed could yield also, he says, iodone, glue, shellac, paper, and food for both man and beast. AGAINST REDUCTION OF DUTY Wisconsin Society Adopts Strong Resolutions The following protest against the WARNING TO DAIRYMEN How the Tuberculin Test Affects Dairymen The tuberculin laws seem to be surrounding the stockmen closer and closer every year, and recently the city of Los Angeles passed an ordinance prohibiting milk from coming into the city unless the cows have been tested for tuberculosis. It is probably this drastic law that has caused some dairymen to change from shipping sweet milk to making butter. We now have a State law, passed by the last regular session of the legislature, prohibiting dairy cows and all cattle for breeding purposes from coming into California unless they are tested for tuberculosis by a government inspector or the state veterinary from the state from which they are shipped. A duplicate of the certificate must accompany the railroad billing. The great irrigation projects now in construction in California will eventually cover thousands and thousands of acres which can be grown to alfalfa, necessitating cutting up of those tracts into small farms. We Rothenhoefer over to Policeman started after two months of the year helps to make little of merchandise know a whole lot and we would raise results of an ad carried on in almost merchants than the results es. In flush time get anyway. It's pond so full of fish any old bait. Buterman finds himself a stream pretty begins to get oment of flies. He gets right down Y Same way with Do it when the o The less business er you ought to see how it works a winner, just b chants do try it thing, as we have the big success.— ANAHEIM GAZETTE understand that many of the real estate men handling these small holdings are supplying these new beginners in the dairy business with cows to be paid for by half of the cream check or in long time payments. Dr. Keane, state veterinary of this state, has offered to test any dairy in this state free of charge to anyone who cares to have it done. It might be well for the man that is selling or man that is buying cows to see, before the contract is drawn up, that these cows have been tested by our very efficient state veterinarian, as we believe in the very near future that a state-wide law will be enacted by the legislature compelling all dairy cows in this state to be tuberculosis tested. In fact, we believe at the present time that the federal government has such a law in effect, but as the law is only interstate it does not affect the local work. Another thing to be remembered is that it is very doubtful whether the state will give any compensation for the cows that are condemned for tuberculosis. Therefore, it would be well to see before drawing up these contracts that all cows have been tested. DEAD BANKER'S PROPERTY Compromise Effected Among Heirs of Late D. H. Thomas That there has been a compromise in the contest of the estate of Daniel H. Thomas, the Santa Ana banker who died last year, is indicated by the recording of a deed last Saturday. Mrs. Jennie C. Thomas, the widow, to Marian S. Monaghan all interest in the home place at the northwest corner of Sixth and Main streets, in Santa Ana, and the deed includes a clause relinquishing all claim by reason of the homestead filed on the place by the widow. ASKS FOR RESTRAINING ORDER Neighborhood Row Over Road in West Country O. B. Conway brought suit against two of his neighbors, Lyman D. Twogood and J. H. Hanes. He asserts that they are plowing up a roadway for which he has a right of way deed and that in the last two weeks they have put fences across the road. The complaint was filed by Attorneys Tipton & Cailor. It states that the right-of-way is for a twenty-four foot road along the line between the Twogood and Hanes places. This right-of-way is alleged to date back to 1877 when W. H. Bentley bought twelve feet from Miles Fawcett and a later owner, John H. Cole, bought another twelve-foot strip from M. M. Thompson. Conway states that he has had an undisputed roadway to his ten-acre ranch, but that now his neighbors are encroaching upon it by plowing it up and throwing fences across it. Conway estimates his damages at $300 and asks judgment for that amount and for a restraining order prohibiting Twogood and Hanes from interfering with the road. YOUNG FOLKS TWICE WED Parents Insist Upon a Second Ceremony Harry D. Hossler, 18 years old, and Ruth C. King, 15, were married the first of the week by Superior Judge West. It was their second wedding in two days, which for young people, it is conceded as going some. The second wedding was the result of certain scruples of the parents of the young folks concerning the wedding that was performed in Los Angeles the day before. Young Hossler and his sweetheart went to Los Angeles and to overcome the foolish objections of the officials there in regard to issuing a license to minors, stated That there has been a compromise in the contest of the estate of Daniel H. Thomas, the Santa Ana banker who died last year, is indicated by the recording of a deed last Saturday. Mrs. Jennie C. Thomas, the widow, to Marian S. Monaghan all interest in the home place at the northwest corner of Sixth and Main streets, in Santa Ana, and the deed includes a clause relinquishing all claim by reason of the homestead filed on the place by the widow. The will of D. H. Thomas left this property to a daughter, Mrs. Monaghan. Owing to a pre-nuptial agreement, Thomas left no property to the widow. Mrs. Thomas filed a homestead, and entered the contest in court. She failed to get alimony, but she got a decree giving her the use of the property. The Thomas interests took an appeal, and after that the compromise was entered into. Mrs. Thomas gives up the property. The terms of the compromise are not made public. BATTLE WITH THIEF Santa Fe Officer Engages in Conflict With Robber C. E. Rothenhoefer, a Santa Fe special officer, and Policeman S. P. Hamilton had an exciting encounter with a boxcar thief in the Santa Fe yards at Santa Ana at an early hour on Friday morning, in which Rothenhoefer escaped probable instant death by thrusting his hand in front of the hammer of the thief's revolver as the latter pulled the trigger. The two officers were in the yards when a freight train pulled in, and saw that the door to one of the cars was broken open. Rothenhoefer went to the door of the car and called to whoever was inside to come out. A man dropped to the ground with a bundle containing about two dozen ladles shoes in one hand, and a revolver in the other. He pointed the gun at the officer and pulled the trigger, but Rothenhoefer seized the weapon and the hammer came down on his palm, tearing the hand badly. Rothenhoefer turned his captive over to Policeman Hamilton, and started after two other men who, in the meantime, had come out of the car, but they made good their escape. The arrested man was taken to the county jail, where he gave the name of John X. Gorden. ADVERTISING Was Man Killed at Richfield One of Bank Robbers? "I hope God forgives me, and I forgive everybody. She is coming. This is horrible." These words were scribbled in a diary found in the pocket of a man who some days ago committed suicide by throwing himself in front of a passenger train approaching the depot at Richfield. According to an entry in the diary the man's name is Frank Kelseath. There is an intimation that the man has committed a crime, just what may only be conjectured. The man had been hanging about Richfield for two or three days. He went to the depot and asked the agent, N. M. Durker, when the next train went through. Durker told him that the train to Los Angeles would arrive at 3.02 o'clock. The man left the depot and walked up the track about 200 yards. Engineer Litterer was bringing his train into the station when he saw the man step toward the rails and deliberately dive in front of the engine. The body was thrown to one side of the rails. Part of the side of the head was torn away. Deputy Coroner Mills went to Richfield and took the remains to Santa Ana. A search of the man's pockets "My imagination is great. My mind is wandering. I would rather be dead than live in shame." The last words have a ring of insanity about them, just as the preceding words have a ring of something in the way of crime committed. There was not a coin in the man's pockets. The man wore a brown suit, a soft much-solled shirt, a light-colored crushed-in-crown hat of 7-1-8 size. He was 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighed about 150 to 155, had brown eyes and black hair, and was about 34 years of age. Because of the fact that the man was killed near the place where the Newport Beach bank robbers were last seen, and because of the intimation of crime in the man's diary, the theory was advanced that he might be one of the bank robbers. However, he does not fit the description of any of them and it is not likely that he would be penniless were he one of the men who got away with $600." ADVERTISING Nearly all the men who have made big business success come their way, have done something out of the usual. There is a custom of merchants not to advertise heavily during dull months of the year. Of course, this helps to make trade duller. We know little of merchandising, but we do know a whole lot about advertising, and we would rather guarantee the results of an advertising campaign carried on in a dull season, when most merchants are not advertising, than the results of one in good times. In flush times, trade is easy to get anyway. It's like fishing in a pond so full of fish that they bite at any old bait. But when a wise fisherman finds himself on the banks of a stream pretty well fished out, he begins to get out his best assortment of flies. He quits fooling and gets right down to fishing. Same way with advertising, folks. Do it when the other fellow doesn't. The less business in sight, the harder you ought to go after it. Try and see how it works. You will find it a winner, just because so few merchants do try it. It's the unusual thing, as we have said, that makes the big success.—Stockton Mall. Deputy Coroner Mills went to Richfield and took the remains to Santa Ana. A search of the man's pockets found nothing by which the man could be identified other than the writing in the diary. A little tobacco, cigarette papers, three matches and a freshly sharpened pencil were found. The diary was a new 1912 pocket diary. In it was written the following: "My true name is Frank Kelseath. I am from Mississippi. The last name I gave in Los Angeles is the name of a friend of mine who died in B.C. I knew all about the people and am sorry their name was mentioned. In the last ten years I wandered about the country. Always meant to do good but my nature was too weak to uphold the principles. I am just as good as the average man, and I know something about human nature. "I am sorry for the people of Mr. Bullion. Had I taken their advice all this would not be my fate. "The only time I have thought seriously of my mother was in the last few days traveling through the hills. I hope she never knows anything about it. I hope God forgives me and I forgive everybody. "She is coming. This is horrible." On another page is written: NGE COUNTY WINE CO. wholesale in quantities, from one-fifth of to a carload. A large variety of well-stock at right prices.
