ment of the work of the government

The men of the Sigma Xi society have
thoroughly investigated the acts of Drs.
Blue. XV. C. Rucker and John D. Long
of the federal health service staff and
their approval of the work Is expressed
:d en unstinted manner in the report.
After stating that two deaths from
plague have occurred in Berßeley the
report says;-:-,.;
Thi» condition does not iD *tb«» l*»gt justify
continued ln»ctivity on tb« part of B^rkelpy res-
Kent*. The plague Is close to us, infected rats

at once and effectfTely carried on that Berkeley
will ::# la great danger of a rlsitatkm from Use

TJus following recommendations are
made:
L That an *mertreary fund should be prorided
by th« eltixens of Btrkeley large enough to begin
esd carry oa. la accordance wltn the plan Biyr-
C-sted by Dr. Long, a rigorous fight against

S. That this money be expended by the citi
tudu' committee under the direction of Dr. Long,
who fca* offered h!s aid.
«. That the citizens of Berkeley ho!d. at tfae
earliest possible date, a special election to an
thvrize a tpecial tax of at least (40.000 for the
csrrncg oa of this campaign.
5. That no part of the money raided by this
rpecial tax should be used In making permanent
lnproraments. euch «s the incinerating plant.
6. That the Unite 4 States goTcrnment be re
quested to detail an «fScer of the public health
iind marine hospital serrlec to take charge of the
work In Berkeley.
The report deals with a complete ac
count of the Infection of man by the
fiea of an infected rat. The scientists
declared there can be no doubt of
th/» relation between the infection of
the human being by the flea of the
plague stricken rodent. The number of
cases of infection in rats caught is
shown, however, to be increasing in the
three principal bay cities, according to
quotations from thja report from the
Tnited States public health and marine

DRINKING WOMEN
ALL NEUROTICS
Physician Testifying in Soder
berg Case Declares No Normal
One Touches Liquor
OAKLAND, March s.— That no normal
woman drinks intoxicating liquor, and
that any woman who does so is a neu
rotic, were opinions advanced by Dr.
J. WV Robertson of Livermore during
the trial of Erland Soderberg for the
murder of his mother in Judge Melvin's
court today. The position was. taken
by Dr. Robertson in "answer to a ques
tion by Attorney J. J.- Allen whether, a
woman could drink as heavily as Soder
berg's mother was said to have done
and be in her right mind.
"Decidedly not." said Robertson." VA
woman does not drink unless she has
inherited a strong tendency that way.
Sad in my opinion a woman who does
drink is a neurotic"
During the day Dr. Robertson was
asked regarding various forms of In
sanity, and gave interesting opinions
regarding the actual condition prevail
ing in various forms of mental disturb
ances. -?I>- :•\u25a0 •-• : "
"There Is no such thing as a danger
ous maniac, If he Is-left alone. If per
sons afflicted with mania are disturbed
they frequently are capable " of doing
great injury, evenjnurder, and not re
member It . Insane persons are like
children, and should be treated as such.
"Persons suffering frdm ' what is
known as drug poisoning, from alcohol,
or the use of hasheesh or morphine, are
dangerous. There is a condition known
as alcoholic trance; in which a man
may not remember what he has done
during a week or a month, though ap
parently he has been normal to ordi
nary observers. People -who appear in
unexpected places without knowing
bow they got there are often of this
class.
"Alcohol saturates the brain -with
blood by affecting the nerves and blood
vessels, and in this state the brain Is
like a water soaked sponge. The center
of gravity in a man probably is located
at the base of the brain, and a dis
tended brain affects this center and
the owner staggers.
j "Epileptics often develop *from heavy
drinkers, and they should be locked op
for life as they are extremely danger
ous," Robertson concluded.
The physician was placed on < ihe
stand by the prosecution to offset the
testimony of Dr. Conn, who testified
that he thought Soderberg Insane.
The arguments In the case will b«
opened Monday, and It is expected that
Soderberg's fate will be In the hands
of the jury by "Wednesday. '
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE A
LIE, SAYS PHILOSOPHER
Noted Austrian Scholar De
nounces System as Built Upon
a False Foundation
STANFORD UNIVERSITY/, March 6.
That Christian L Science and New
Thought were founded . principally on
falsehood was the assertion made by
Prof. Wlncenty Lutoslawski of the
University of Kroetow, Austria, who
gave a special lecture before a large
gathering of undergraduates and fad
ulty members this afternoon. Upon the
topic of "The Training of Mind and
Body." the scholar, who is one- of the
best known philosophers in the world,
and co recognized by the leading uni
versity authorities of this .country,
gave an interesting discourse.
"The trouble with the Christian Sci
entists." eald. Lutoslawski, "is that they
try to believe what our common sense
tells us Is not so.
"This system," he continued, "is
founded primarily upon\the Yogi sys
tem, and therefore is largely un-Chris
tjan in character," despite the name it
bears. The Christian Scientists are
optimists' of the advanced state.; They
are, in fact, so optimistic, as to be
fanatical..- They believe in the virtue
of affirmations, but bluntly we would
only cay these affirmations are lies." ; -
Dr. Lutoslawski now, is an exilefrom
his native country, where his teaching;
have been widely published.

Strikers at Goldfield
Lose Their Fight
Make terms With Certain Mine
Owners and Elect Conserv
ative President
GOLDFIELD, Nev., March 6.— Local
220 of the western federation of min
ers by referendum vote today decided
by 455 to 256 to accept the. Tonopah
scale of wages and* declare the strike
off as to those' properties which would
pay the Tonopah scale.
Representatives of 13 leases agreed
some days ago to pay the Tonopah
scale, \ "Which.-, is ,50 cents a day less/
than the former Goldfleld scale, but
50 ' cents more than the scale adopted
recently, by the mine operators' asso
ciation. The different leases "which are
a party to ,the 'new deal met a week
ago and I agreed to pay. the Tonopah
scale^rif the miners' union would ac
cept. : The vote was completed late this
afternoon.' .
The mine operators' association
"stands pat" on its scale and will not
grant the advance. The association
companies own all the big mines #f the
camp and against these the strike is
still in effect.
The miners elected today an ultra
conservative president by a- vote of
4 to? 1 against ; the ;iradieals,\. which
sho^s, according to the'min'er operators'
association,'; that "the"^ federation has
virtually gone-' to pieces and that no
compromise is necessary as to wages

MILLS COLLEGE ENDS
ITS SEMINARY WORK
Preparatory Department Will
Be Discontinued by Motion
of Its President
OAKLAND, March s.— Mills college
will do away with its seminary depart
ment, corresponding to a high school,
as rapidly as possible, and become
wholly a college for young women who
are graduates of .high schools or who
have finished their secondary education
elsewhere.' The motion bringing about
this departure was made before the
trustees, by Mrs. Susan L. Mills, the
venerated president of the Institution.
The Idea in thus abolishing . the
lower seminary grades is . to : put Mills
college on a. plane with the best east
ern institutions,' such as Vassar,'
Wellesley and Smith. In accordance
with this ; decision there will be no
junior class after the close of the pres
ent semester, -though students already
in the seminary - department will . be
allowed to finish their course and stu
dents from secondary /schools will for
the present be received as heretofore.
r/The, passing qf Mills seminary marks
an epoch in the educational history of
California. Its inception was at Be
hicia in 1860, though the school then
formed was. not acQuire^i; by Dr. .and
Mrs. Mills until 1865, after which it
was removed to its present location.
