Regents Postpone the Elec

A. Saucy Letter From Professor
Hayne to Governor Budd
Causes a Breeze.
ROASTISG DAY FOR THE IT.YERSITY.
k'r.d ? Waymire Sharply Oallei to
- Account for Neglect of Official
Duty.
The |regents of the university yesterday
postponed the election of a director of the
Lick Observatory to succeed Professor E. j
W. 11. Hen, whose resignation is in to j
take effect January 1, 1898. Professor
George W. Davidson had victory almost j
in his grasp, when the Governor read a i
letter from Mis. Hearst asking that the
election be deferred until she could at
tend. A vote was taken on the question
to postpone until the l.rst regular meet
ing in January. This motion prevailed,
but it was subsequently amended to pro
vide that a time should be fixed at that
meeting for the election.
- The suggestion was made and put in the
form of a motion by Regent Marve, that
in the interim the president of the univer
sity and the Lick Observatory committee
should cast about to ascertain the name,
of capable and emminent astronomers to
the end that one should be found suitable
in the highest sense to 1:11 the important
office of director.
Obviously this motion was viewed as an
effort or scheme in the interest of some
aspirant for the position, other than Pro
fessor Davidson, so that it was rejected
after spirited discussion.
Governor Budd, addressing Mr. Marye,
asked: "Do you not think that each
regent should act for himself?'*
Mr. Mayre replied: "What is every
body's business is nobody's business."
Governor Budd— Do you want an as
tronomer or a director of business admin
istrative capacity ?
Mr. Marye— l suppose the most eminent
astronomer available should be selected,
and that he should be a man of adminis-
t r ative al.:! il v
■" Regent Hallidil remarked: "We should
fill the position with deliberate care and
thought. We cannot afford to put In a
doubtful an. 1 thould prefer to have the
matter referred to the president of the
University."
Regent Phelps— So should I.
Regent Hallidie— The mar. should be a
d'st nguishea astronomer of tine admin
istrative cat aciiy.
Regent Foote asked: "What more does
the committee know about the fitness of a
man for that position than 1 know? What
more does the president of tiie university
know than I know? Dj w^ want to close
the mind-, o, ihe regents?"
Governor Budd— They want to hear
from Eastern astronomers and to post
pone action on this ca c, as action was
postponed on ti.e Wllmerding School
matter. Wo may not get a director for
Mount Hamilton until a chunk of the bud
falls and blots out the university.
Mr. Marye— Let m- correct the chair
man. There is no desire to close the
mind of any regent.
When the motion was de'eated Mr.
Phelps move I that Professor Schaeberie
continue to act as director until further
orders, lie motion carried.
Mr. Phelps said lie had something
pleasant for the board to near and then
asked the secretary to read this corre
spondence:
Mount Hamilton, Dec. 1. 1897.
Hon. T. G. Phe ps, Chairman Lick Observatory
Committee— Dear Mr. Phelps: It gives me
great pleasure to inform you tnat Mr. Perrine
bas jnst received word fro ■. Paris the the La
lnnae gold medal ot the Frencn Instiute i«
about to be awarded to him for distinguished
Services to astronomy. . have asked Mr. Per
rine for the original letter and inclose the
same herewith sn original translation.
As an illustration oi the brilliant success ol
th.s hardworking young observer aud com
puier. I need only state that since his connec
'-■•'" wit! the Lick Observatory he ha«, ln addi
tion to his duties as secretary, discovered no
less nun live new comets and rediscovered a
periodic comet.
Perrine has not only made and pub ished
10-.g series "'. <ervation ion tnese bo . : .—,
but ne has also computed and published the
various orbits and ephemeridea of the new
comets from his own observations. It is quite
remarkable tnat the last four comets were ail
successively fi unci by the same observer. The
aw-ird of the highest medal of the French In
stitute to Assistant Astronomer Perrine will
be but a just recognition of a most worthy in
gator.
I believe there will be no objection to let
ting the regents know of the honor in store for
Mr. Perrine. The public announcement from
the Lick Observatory will bs made toward the
close of tbe present month, immediately ait
the next meeting ol the institute. Sincerely
your", J. M. fcCHAEBKBLE.
TRANSLATION.
Xi institute of Fra nce. )
Paris, Nov. 11. 18»7. (
The chief secretary desires Mr. Perrine to
apply to the secretary's office •»! the institute
iv order to receive tne Lalrtndj pr.zi; (valued
at 540 Irenes), which comes to Dim through
award from the Academy of .-eiences.
In case you cannot visit I'm:-- you have only j
to intrust to a person of your choice a notarial
power or commission, who nil] receive th.- I
a Love-mentioned 'urn and comply with all
the formalities. You can likewise empower i
our representative-.
Hardly had the interest in the observa
tory topic subsided, when Governor Budd
startled the assembled regents by a sug
gestion that Jud^e Waymire should be
turned down for neglect of duty in failing
to attend the sessions of the board. The
Governor read from the amended rules to
.lie effect that a regent who neglects to'
perform his duties lor three consecutive
months shall te deemed to have forfeited
his office The statutes of the State on
the suoiect of non-performance of official
duties were read.
The records of the secretary were called
for to show that Waymire, without excuse,
had failed to attend the sessions of the
board since last September. The Governor
said; "li was my intention lirst to i sue
a commission to some one else who would
gladly perform the duties, but I have
decided to bave a letter written to Judge
ay mire asking him if Ins course means
that his resignation has been offered. He
i- familiar with the rules. lam a personal
friend of Judge \Vayraire, and entertain
high regard for him, but it is my duty to
call your attention to his prolonged
ab-ence.
Judge Wallace remarked that Waymiie
might have been performing duty aa a re
gent without attending thes.ssious of the
board.
The secretary being applied to to inform
the board what kind ol committee work
Waymire had been doing replied that th;
Judge was not on any commitite
Judge Wallace then asked how Way
mire could be censured for not performing
committee work when he was not on any
committee.
The secretary was instructed to com
municate with Judge Waymire, the senti
ment of board being that the abient
regent should have an opportunity to ex
plain the cause of his absence.
The Governor gave notice that in the
luture he should act by eiving a commis
sion to a new man a, id allow the question
° tI" % l ° the offlCe lo be Bettleu iv court.
lhe Governor had yet another sensation
no his sleeve. The ions that Waymire
received was nothing compared witn i lie
red hot broiling administered to Arthur
r. Hayne, assistant profess of viti
culture and olive culture.
Professor Hayne has had it in for the
Oovernorever since the latter vetoed some
allowance for forestry ana viticulture
made at the last session of the Legislature.
A few weeks ago the Governor desired to
ascertain the acreage in vines and wrote
a letter to tbe Agricultural Department
requesting the information. Hayne did
not miss tne opportunity to get bark at
the Governor, as this letter will show:
University of California, ,
Department of Agriculture. J
Berkeley, Cal., Nov. 30.)
James 11. Jtudd, Governor of California— Dkab
Bib: Answering your returned lorm oi the
29th inst. to Proiessor Hilgard, concerning
tne acreage of bearing vines in California, tin
amount of vines produced, etc., beg to say
that It is impossible lor us to furnish you with
the desired information. I send you the .mi
data on the subject compiled by the Villcul
tural Commission. It only goes '.. igg <
in the interview I had ihe honor of having
with you at the California Hotel in Snn Krau
cisco. December last, i stated the need oi com
piling such data, and you agreed with me, and
it was the intention 01 the department to u«e
part of the appropriation you recommended
in your message for that purpose Your veto
of the appropriation has left the College of
Agriculture with insufficient funds for such
work I regret this very much, as I deem such
data of great value io the|viucultural Interests
of the State, but we have no money vow to
lett it. Very respectiullv.
ARTHUB P. HaYJ-TE.
Assistant Professor in Cuarge 01 Viticulture
and Olive Culture.
The Governor with some warmth and
asperity remarked that this inlormatlon
winch could not be supplied by the Agri
cultural Department ol the university had
been obtained by himseif at a cost of 4
cents. "I got the information for 4 cents
which Hilgard and ilyne could not sup
ply because they were not allowed $10,000."
Jud^e Wallace — Where did you get it.
if I may inquire '.'
Governor Budd — I got it from Mr.
Crocker of the Wine-growers' Association
ana Clarence Wetmore. Here are ttie
figures. The acreage is 157,000. In wine
grapes 75.000 acres, raisin grapes 72 000
acre?, and tab graphs 10,00-d acres. The
value is $85,000,000 Yet a department of
the university says no data since 18' JO are
obtainable.
The desire of Hilgaid and Hayne to slap
the Governor was the cause of lively com
ment.
Regent Foote said that nothing like in
solence should bo tolerated from the pro
fessors.
John E. Budd observed that Mr. Hayne
was one of the most capable professors in
the university.
Regent Foote — I know he is a capable
man, and he is one of my most aitec ionate
friends, but the insolence should no; b.-i
tolerated.
So action was taken on Hayne's letter.
It is probable that the offendine professor
will be left to the tender mercies of Presi
dent Kelloeg.
Regent Denicke directed tbefattenticn
o: the board to good work which tho un'
versity might do in the development of
dairy and poultry interests.
Dr. Rowell of B'resno had a good word
to say for the agricultural department,
an 1 mentioned that the farmers in his
region had been benefited by the institute
lectures.
After all the talk it was decided on the
sugeestion of Regent Reinstein to bold a
special meeting on Saturday, January 15,
to consider the university. "].,
session is to be open and each re
gent may be expected to speak his mind
freely concerning the delinquencies and
extravagance of the institution. Mention
was made several times yesterday of the
constant Increase of salaries beyond the
mates of the budget. Mr. Reinstein
spoke of the proposed session as _ meet
ing to discuss the standing and future
policy of the university.
During the session yesterday, while
President Kellogg was reading some rec
ommendations to allow i'rofe.-sor Armes
$103 for editorial work and to increase ex
penses in other directions, Regent Hell
man came in, and was obliged to move
aside the chair from which the president
had just arisen. The chair wa-, not re
placed in its position, so w i. en the presi
dent begun with slow and careful delibera
tion to seat himself he gradually went
down out of sight behind his desk. The
fall was so .low that the president hardly
noticed the change.
The loard decided to appropriate (150
to get a.i abstract of title to tne block of
land on the P drero given to the uni
versity for the site of the Wllmerding
School. The Wllmerding fund now
amounts to $418,000. The interest since
the gift was made amounts to $43,000.
The regents attending the session yes
terday were: Governor Bud. l, Phelps,
Miller, Hallidie, Martin, Denicke, Hough
ton, Rodgers, Wallace, Rowel i, Jeter,
Reinstein, Jonn E. Budd. Foote, Coomb-,
Chase, Kellogg, Marye, Slack, Black and
Hellmau.
MANY MISSING COINS.
Lead Instead of Silver in the
Treasury of the United
States,
Bags of Coins From the San Iran
cisco Mint Have Been Tam
pered With.
A report reached the city yesterday
from the United S ates Treasury at Wash
ington, where the coins in the vaults there
are being counted, that in some of the
sacks of silver dollar-* tent from the Mint
of Ean, Francisco coins had been abstracted
and shot sub-diluted to make good the lost
weight of the precious metal.
Prank A. Leach, he superintendent of
the Mint, said yesterday that he could not
understand how the bags of silver dollars
that were sent from the Mint here to the
TreaMiry in Washington could bare been
tampered with and shot substituted in
place of the missing coins. He said that
if such a thing was done it wa3 after the
bags of dollars left his hands.
The bags are filled at the Mint here un
der the inspection of at least five of the
officials oi the Mint and then tied and
sealed with a leaa seal that would make
it impossible for the ba<rs to be opened and
saaied again in less than a quarter of an
hour under the most favorable circum
stances. The bags are then stored in the
vaults and no one can reach t hem ex cept
under tlie eyes of men held responsible
for their safety. To abstract the coins
from the sacks several persons would
have to bo in collusion, and then the
seals could not have been broken without
there being some mean of detecting t.
Superintendent Leach was of the oiinirn
that if any coins r.-pr<. abstracted from tin
sack- sent from San Franci-co it was done
in the larger vaults of the Treasury build
ing at Washington.

Comforting Remark That
Capron Said He Lis
tened To.
Mrs, Holly's Interesting Gossip
About the Testator's Step
daughters.
Testimony to Show the Old Man
Was of Sound and Dis
posing Mind.
It was not a very comforting remark
James S. Capron overheard his step
daughter say one evening, but he thought
enough of it to repeat it to Mrs. Martha
N. Holly, who told it to Judee Coffey
yesterday when she was called to the
stand.
The stepdaughter?, Madge, Hattie and
Mamie, were in the kitchen of their home
on Eddy street when the old man, at
tracted by their voices, attempted to
enter. He paused at the door long enough
to hear Madge say how everything was
fixed; when stepfather was dead they
would have everythinc they wanted, and
then the girls all clapped their hands,
and Huttie said, in an ecstacy of expecta
tion: "Oh, don't 1 wish he was dead
now!"
The old man did not like the remark
perhaps it was the grsmmar, or maybe
the air of sincerity in whicfc it was ut
tered nnd accepted— but any way he told
Sirs. Holly about it, and then he added a
few fee s of his own to even things up.
When Madge whs married he was gla 1
to have her off his hamis ;.e told Mrs
Holly. He thought Madge was saucy.
He told Mrs. Holly, too, that Madge was
principled and vicious, and he thought
Hattle would be all right if only -he bed
not the i:iflu?.'ice of Madge over her. A
to Matin .-she didn't know enough to . o
or be anything unless under Madge's di
rection.
He confided further to Mrs. Holly that '

no friends were allowed to see him, and
she. Mrs. Holly, was not to call as she
would surely be insulted if she did. He
thought anyway he would have to go to
Ban Jose to live as his home was not com
forts
This tale of woe Mrs. Holly poured into
the judicial ear for the edification of a
crowded court-room, and she finished by
saying that to her Capron seemed of per
fectly sound mind, His doctor had told
bin be was good for years yet, whereupon
She suggested that ne come to San Jose
to see her doctor. But the reason ;or this
pertinent ami somewhat obscure suggest
ion was lost in the hour for adjournment.
Before Mrs. Holly reached the stand
with her budget of gossip Charles C. Wal
lace and Oeorge W. Baker testified that
they had had frequent dealings with
Capron and they considered him of sound
mind. Wallace aad d that Capron had
told him of his uiimen's and of the mor
phine habit he had acquired ana how
hard it was to cure himself of it, and he
told how Capron had said ne did not see
much in life for him.
Thi? was after the remarks in the

License Collector Bonnet is preparing to
address the Board of Supervisors on the
subject of the opium and morphine order
recently offered by Supervisor Delany as
a substitute for tne one that has been
recommended by the License and Order

Mr. Bonnet is of the opinion that the

it would be betterto let the matter remain
as it was. The license on the sale of
