' The Californian, the college dally,
also paid a tribute to Professor Syle In
the editorial columns this morning,
saying of him "that his name is dear
to hundreds of students who have had
the opportunity of listening to him in
the classroom."
President Wheeler of the University
of .California presents a eulogy of the
late Professor L. Du Pont Syle, form
erly professor of English literature and
dramatic art, in a memorial letter pub
lished to-day at the university. The
letter, reads as follows:
The untimely end of Professor Syle's
career as scholar, and teacher must
bring pain to every one who had occasion
to know his brilliant gifts and to expe
rience the helpfulness of his instruction.
He possessed undoubtedly a rare sense
for the fineness and dignity of English
dramatic literature and had shown unus
ual tact and good taste in giving English
plays a worthy setting upon the college
stage. Any one who saw the Charter
Day play of .1900 could not fail to know
that a master hand was in control. It
would. I believe, have given highest sat
isfaction to his talents and to his ambi
tion could he have developed here a de
partment of dramatic criticism and art,
using the actual representation of plays
as the concrete and practical form of
instruction, through which the theoreti
cal and ideal might be given body and
form. His natural talents as a teacher
were greatly enhanced in value by a,
natural interest which he took In the
Interest and the points of view of those
he taught. There are hosts of students
from many classes who bear thankful
ness toward him in their hearts, not only
for what he taught them, but for the In
terest he showed in their troubles and
perplexities as well as in their joys and
successes. In the face of these sunnier
memories of his work and desire we for
get the shadows that ill health brought
upon his mood and life; for the sunshine
is there forever, and the shadows are
but for a day.

WASHINGTON/' Nov. 16.— Governor
Brodie of Arizona in his annual report
to the. Secretary. of the Interior urges
that the. Interior Department aid in se
curing the passage of an enabling act
for the admission of Arizona to State
hood. He says, however, that the peo
ple of the Territory would rather fore
go Statehood "ihan accomplish it by
union with any other State or part of
any other State or Territory.
The Governor recommends that Con
gress reimburse Pima County for $318,
275 for what the Governor calls "an
injustice committed by Congress in
passing an act validating certain Pima
County narrow gauge railroad bonds,
after the entire issue of such bonds
had been declared by the Supreme
Court of the United States to be in
valid - and void, and for which Pima
County had never received value.".
The Governor recommends that the
Indian school facilities In Arizona be
increased and that measures be taken
to more properly care for the gradu
ates of these schools by finding for them
proper employment; that a levee be
built to prevent the overflow of culti
vated land along the Colorado River
by the annual freshets; that a. system
of tree planting be inaugurated by the
Division of Forestry for the benefit of
the watersheds of the Territorial
streams and that irrigation projects be
pushed. \ •
The total population of Arizona is es
timated at 155,000. The total taxable
wealth aggregates $43,088,041 and the
total Territorial indebtedness is placed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.— The .pro
test of Paymaster Briscoe and Lieuten
ant Williams of the navy regarding the
' language used by Rear Admiral Evans
In reviewing the findings of the court
which tried Assistant Paymaster R-
Nicholson presented to the Navy De
partment a knotty problem. The pro
test went direct from the Bureau of
Navigation to the Secretary of the
Navy without the judge advocate gen
eral passing on it. After considering the
matter in all its details, it is said. Sec
retary Moody concluded to sustain Ad
miral Evans. Later the Secretary
changed his mind and at Secretary
Moody's instance Assistant Secretary
Darling took the matter up. It is under
stood he takes the position that Ad
miral Evans in unequivocal terms at
tacked the integrity of the members of
the court, and that, having done thia,
and if he had the evidence at hand to
sustain his charge, it was his duty at
once to order a court-martial of the
officers to whom his remarks were di
rected. Not having so acted, it is un
derstood, Mr. DarHngr holds that the
admiral was derelict in hla duty and
should be reprimanded. The matter
had reached this stage when Secretary
Moody determined to enlist the legal
talents of Secretary Root, who. It is
understood, has given his view of the
case.
It is said to-day that it is Secretary
Moody's present intention to return to
Admiral Evans the findings In the
Nicholson case, with a notification that
he had decided to dismiss the protest
of the two officers, Briscoe and Wil
liams, but warning the admiral not to
repeat the 'offense.
The matter contained in the envelopes
complained of is what is purported to be
a Register and Directory of Qualified
Veterinary- Surgeons in the State of Cal
ifornia, which list has been widely cir
culated among the stock owners through
out the State, in which purported list
the undersigned names have been pur
posely omitted, for the reason that the
undersigned did, during the session
of the last Legislature, oppose certain
measures that said association was lob
bying through the Legislature of this
State.
We ask that a hearing of this matter
be accorded us and that we be allowed to
present evidence as to improper and un
just acts of said C. H. Blemmer.
We fire, most respectfully,
GEORGE W. STIMPSON. M. O. C. V. S.,

ALAMEDA, Nov. 16.— Dr. Tom Car
penter, Dr. George W. Stimpson and
Dr. \Y. L. Williamson, veterinary sur
geons, believing that their names were
with malice omitted from tfle roster re
cently published by the California State
Veterinary; Association because they
opposed the enactment by the last State
Legislature of certain measures pro
posed by the association, have forward
ed the following charges against State
Veterinarian C. H. Blemmer to the
Governor:
ALAMEDA. Nov. 10. 1903.
To the Hon. George C. Pardee, Gover
nor of California: We, the undersigned,
most respectfully call your attention to
the following unjust and improper acts
of C. II. Blemmer, State Veterinarian of
California, and charge the said Blemmer
with prostituting his official position by
causing literature of a private Institu
tion, the California State Veterinary
Medical Association (which literature is
intended' to injure the business of and
destroy the good names of the under
signed, regularly licensed graduate vet
erinary surgeons, as well as others), to
be inclosed in envelopes bearing the fol
lowing print:
'California State Veterinary Medical
Association. Dr. Charles H. Blemmer.
Pres., State Capitol. Sacramento, Cal.."
thus making it appear that this private
association is an accredited institution
of this State, with headquarters at the
Capitol.
EULOGIZES LATE
PROFESSOR SYLE
Miss Henniger accompanied Fred Strub
ble, a neighbor's son, to a supper and so
cial given at the country schoolhouse,. a
short distance from the girl's home, Sat
urday evening. ..When she failed to re
turn her parents were greatly alarmed,
but as neither she nor Strubble could be
found, it was supposed that they had
eloped and would be heard from in a few
days. The discovery of the girl's remains
aroused the community, but all efforts of
the authorities to locate Strubble'a where
abouts have proven unavailing. The con
dition of the body Indicated a desperate
struggle. The girl was the daughter of
Newton Henniger, a prominent farmer.
PEORIA, 111., Nov. 16.— Miss May Hen^
niger, a prominent young lady of Bishop,
who was supposed to have eloped, was
found dead' to-day in a pasture near her
home. Her body was mutilated and half
burled.
TAKES OFF TWO
THROUGH TRAINS
A plea for mercy was made by Dun
bar's attorney, T. V. Eddy, who stated
to the court that the prisoner had
saved the, county the expense of a trial
and also that he was the only surviv
ing child of an aged mother. Judge
Ellsworth in reply said the most pain
ful part of his duty was the infliction
of suffering upon innocent persons
through the wrongdoing of those con
nected with them. For the good of the
public he stated that he believed it his
duty to put Dunbar where he could do
no harm.
John Smith, a pal of Dunbar's and
charged with the same offense, bur
glarizing a room In the Windsor Hotel,
withdrew a plea of not guilty and
pleaded guilty. He was represented by
Attorney Arthur Mack of San Fran
cisco, who asked that sentence be post
poned until next Monday.
While Dunbar is not yet 30, he has
already established a reputation for
himself as a crook and is known to
every policeman in ' San Francisco,*
where he has done most of his work.
He has seven prior convictions against
him, and his admission of two of them
in connection with the present charge
was responsible for the severity of the
sentence imposed upon him. |
The girl that fainted looked hardly
out of her teens and wept bitterly. Be
fore Dunbar can again enjoy his free
dom he will be an old man.
George Dunbar, a self-confessed bur
glar, was sentenced to twenty-five
years in j San Quentin this morning by
Judge Ogdeh. Upon hearing the sen
tence a young girl,- whose identity was
not disclosed but who was evidently in
terested in the young criminal, fainted
and had to be taken from the court
room. Dunbar himself gave no evidence
of unusual feeling in regard to the sen
tence. He did not see the girl. She re
fused to give her name or acknowledge
that she knew Dunbar.- A girl friend
who was with her,' however, said they
had come to see what "would be done
to him."
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1118 Broadway, Nov. 16.
The addresses by the other players
were brief and referred mainly to the
work of the team in Saturday's contest.
Trainer Christie had something to say
about breaking the training rules and
appealed to the co-eds to help out in
the future.
Captain Overall was cheered when he
said the team had done its level best.
It was lucky and yet unlucky that the
team scored and was scored o gainst.
"The main thing," he said, "is to look
out for next year. We lose many of our
veterans. Stanford retains most of
hers. We must get a team together
that will beat them."
The varsity football men were given
a royal welcome at an Impromptu rally
this morning on the sward opposite
Harmon Gymnasium. Instead of the
regular Monday morning: drill the
"rooters," assisted by the "co-eds,"
"rooted" for the men who tried so hard
to bring back victory after last Satur
day's fight on the field. The "ifs" and
the "might have beens" were all
omitted, so that there would be more
room for the more encouraging words.
Yell Leader Philip Carey, perched
upon a box on the field, led the deep
throated and the shrill-piped. The
"oskl wows" were a little hutky, but
loud enough to be heard at Berkeley
station. Brief addresses were made by
Presldent Wheeler, Orva! Overall,
"Sam" Stow, "Little" Mini, Colonel
George C. Edwards, Walter Christie
and "Jack" Whipple.
"That was a good game Saturday,"
President Wheeler said. "The team
represented us and j, we are going to
stand by It. I have nothing to criticise
and no one should be allowed to criti
cise anything. I saw Stanford make
her first touchdown Saturday. And I
don't want to see her do It aeain. I
once saw California make a score of
30 to 0. I like 40 to 0 better. Let's
make it 40 to 0 next year.
"We have good material for a team
here next year. It grieves us to lose
a man like Overall. Not altogether be
cause he is a good football player, but
also because he Is a good man. We
will have to get somebody to fill his
place and the places of the others. We
can do it. We don't have to tave all
four-year men. A few good ones will
form the bulwark of the team and we
can develop others who will Improve
in time." •
