Collins is accused by, Barry and
Clough of having appeared as counsel
for both plaintiff and defendant in the
action of the Hibernia Savings and
Loan Society vs. Charles H. Robinson.
Collins made sensational ; charges sev
eral days ago of incompetence and bias
against Superior Judge Kerrigan, who
decided the case, and will endeavor to
have the juris't removed- from the bench
by filing charges with Governor Pardee.
In his letter Collins says the charge
is willfully, maliciously and viciously
false and was known [ to be false and
untrue- by the persons who made it.
He declares that at no time and in
no manner, either verbally or in writ-
Ing, did the defendant consult or in
terview him or did he advise the de
fendant in reference to the claim. The
allegation of his accusers that the
promissory note in the case is ficti
tious or fraudulent, Collins says, is ab
solutely false. In closing, he asks the
Bar Association to take notice of "these
Outrageous and willfully false accusa
tions of my opponents" and investigate
them. ' •¦? «'

Mr. Garnett is the son of a wealthy

bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
W. Ammand, formerly of Berkeley.
BERKELEY, March' 29.— Hugh M.
Garnett of the class of '03, University
of California, married Miss Emma
Ammand in Portland three weeks ago
and nobody knew anything about it
until a few weeks ago, when the news
leaked -out through a casual remark
dropped by one of the interested
parties.
It seems that the bride met Mr.
Garnett soon after his arrival in Port
land, where he went after his gradua
tion to take a position, and from that
acquaintance grew an engagement.
The young people kept the engage
ment a secret and when they "married
they kept that a secret, too. Now that
the news is out and all parental objec
tion overcome it is announced that Mr.
and Mrs. Garnett will reside in Port

COLLEGE MAN SURPRISES
FRIENDS BY MARRYING
This overt act on the part of the
sophomores is more than likely to
end in another attempt at rushing:
It amounts to a challenge to the
"freshles" to knock the chip off the
"sophs' " shoulders, and hostilities
may be precipitated at any moment.
In anticipation of such a thing. Pro
fessor Cory has trimmed the wick of
his peering searchlight and picketed
a guard around the hill. With the
dawn may come a list of dead, dying,
wounded and prisoners.
That '07 was as a red rag to a mad
bull to the sophomores, the traditional
enemies of the freshmen, and a band
of them charged up the hill. In a lit
tle while, there being no opposition,
the sophomores had changed the '07
into '06, life size. When the shades of
night lowered over the campus this
evening the '06 was still there.
BERKELEY. March 29.—"Resolv
ing" and "whereasing" seems to have
resulted in some satisfaction to the
juniors at the' University of California,
for when -Professor CJ L. Cory, chair
man of the students' affairs commit
tee, arrived at his office this morning
and found the' set of resolutions
adopted by the claps vesterday, he
immediately made up his mind to re
turn all the jewelry and letters and
key rings that his imported policemen
took from the would-be rushers last
Charter day eve.
Professor Cory called the six or eight
recalcitrants before him, and, after
reading them a lecture, gave them
back their property. This was emi
nently pleasing to the students, and
they are all so glad that they were not
"fired" . forthwith - that they couldn't
kow-tow enough to' the professor. Now
the account' is square again.
There is a promise of more- trouble,
however, in the developments of the
day. For on its way across the campus
this morning the college population
discovered some numerals on the for
bidden Charter Hill. They were the
figures '07 in big white letters of lime,
visible from every point in Berkeley.
The freshmen class had planted them
there in the night.
Edward K. Clarke, the capitalist,
who is suing for the annulment of his
marriage to Rosalind H. Bower-Clarke,

The action is brought by Mary
Tobin, v ho states that in IS 93 she and
Tobin held up their right hands and
ewore they would take other for
better or for worse. The formality of
a wedding ceremony was dispensed
with, but this was in the days of con
tract marriages. They afterward lived
together for a period of eight years
and passed as husband and wife and it
is urged that this made the marriage
a legal one.
About a yea* or so ago Tobin's fancy
Ftrayed. He left his partner, and some
time afterward married a second time;
then the first Mrs. Tobin began her
action and asks for a division of the
community property, which she al
leges amounts to about $2000 cash.

The aid of orchardists of the State is
solicited by the College of Agriculture
in the study of the moth, by making
observations in their own localities of
the facts upon which the timing of the
applications in each of these cam
paigns must be based.
"In the lower portion of the Pajaro
Valley the danger of poisoning the fo
liage is so great, even when the maxi
mum of lime is added, that we cannot
recommend the use of paris green at
all, but suggest the substitution of the
lime orjead arsenite."
When and how to spray are questions
which Professor Woodworth says must
be answered by the orchardist himself.
California is of such diversified climate
that no precise rule ttill obtain in any
two parts of \the State at the same
time. Every part requfres a different
kind of campaign, differently timed
and differently executed. Here is what
Professor Woodworth says:
AH the spraying operations should be made
to dcoend upon data, determined for each
region as to certain essential facts In regard
t;j the history of the codlinc moth and of
the tree?. These facts are not difficult to ob
tain and there is no reason why any grower
of eprles might not make the necessary ob
servations to determine the proper time for
these sprayinc operations. ;^'K ¦
Under tfct worst conditions ttaere will be
the necessity of making three campaigns each
sf-a?on acair.5t the Insect. In many regions
one or tvso of these might be omitted. How
raufh may be omitted will have to be de
termined by the conditions and the locality.
The firrt campaign is intended for the pcison-
Ins of the calyx cup of the apple and re
quires spraying from above and more than
':¦,.' application, if the blossoms are not uni
form in time of opening. The second cam
psign is timed by the appearance of the moth
in the spring and requires a method of spray-
Ing different from that of the first cam
paign, the idea being to cover every part
ef the leaf and fruit with poison. The third
campaign is for the . later worms and the
times of beginning and closing this attack
are determined by the production of pupae,
from which moths will hatch that season, and
lay eggs for another brood of worms. The
danger to foliage by poison Is greatest during
this period-
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, March 29.
Full directions for destroying the
codling moth, the enemy of the apple
trees of California, are contained in a
bulletin issued at the University of
California to-day by Professor C. "W.
Woodworth of the entomological de
partment of the College of Agriculture.
Professor Woodworth directed the war
with sprays against the tenacious lit
tle insect all of last season in the Pa
jaro Valley and is therefore qualified
to tell the orchardists of the State the
way out of loss and ruin.
The campaign demonstrated to Pro
fessor Woodworth one thing and that Is
that arsenical sprays are the only real
remedy for the codling moth. There
fore he lays considerable stress on this
point in his bulletin. Of all the* many
suggestions that have been made for
controlling the insect, none but the
arsenical sprays have yielded any re
sults ,worth mentioning. The others
have been tried and found wanting.
His advice to the orchardist is that he
not attempt to experiment with any
thing else, unless it be on a small scale.
Paris green. Professor Woodworth
finds, is the most effective arsenite in
dealing with the moth. It is trae that
there* are some places where paris
green is likely to injure the tree, an
injury that might result in greater loss
than any that the moth might inflict,
and even affect the crop of the follow
ing year. But in most of these regions
the danger of injury can be avoided by
the addition of lime. On this point Pro
fessor Woodworth says:
'"The amount added to the spraying
mixture should be the greater the more
susceptible the trees are to injury. The
regions in which the trees are most lia
ble to injury are those where dews and
fogs are most prevalent. Five or ten
times as much lime as paris green is
the proportion recommended in the
most moist regions. The amount of
paris green commonly used and found
very satisfactory is one pound for 150
gallons.
Policeman John P. Scanlan wa» ar
rested to-day on a charge of battery
preferred against him by John J. Mul
vey, a crippled newsboy, and a com
plaint has also been lodged against
the patrolman with the Police Commis
sioners, charging Scanlan with conduct
unbecoming a peace officer. The po
liceman and Mulvey quarreled over a
bet made on the Britt-Ccrrbett flght,
which Scanlan won. Mulvey was not
on hand with his money the next day
and it is charged that he was accused
by Scanlan of "welching." and that
when this was denied it angered the
officer and he attacked Mulvey and
kicked him, injuring him to such an
extent that he had to take to his bed.
When arrested on the battery charge
Scanlan put up $30 bail and was given
his liberty. '¦¦'.'.

During the morning session of the
institute a short address was delivered
by President David Starr Jordan of
Stanford University on "The Broad
Mind." Addresses were also delivered
by J. W. McClymonds, S. D. Water
man, F. T. Moore, D. R. Angsberg and
Dr. Sarah Shuey. Just before ,the
noon recess the following committee on
resolutions was appointed:
Perhaps th» most important work under
taken by the government of the Philippines
Is that designed to provide for the Filipinos
an opportunity to learn the Knglish langua?p,
the knowledge of which it is proposed to con
vey with a distinctly practical purpose in
view. The Spanish policy of preventing the
Filipinos In many Instances from learning the
Spanish language and of looking v.ith distinct
disapproval upon the use of this language by
the natives is a policy Fometlmes pursued to
make a subject peoplft feel Its subordination.
One of the practical advantages of a. knowl
edge of the English language for the • people
of the Philippine Islands la that It will supply
a common medium of communication where no
such medium formerly existed, and in view of
what has already been achieved .the task of
giving the educated part of the people the
practical use of a new language appears new
much less difficult than at first. It is as
practicable as teaching a community the use
of new tools.
It is our educational policy that gives us a
chance of distinction, and it might be
said that on it hangs the justification of our
control of the Philippines. But If we turn
this business over to politicians of the ordinary
sort, with their indifference to the school
teacher and the cultivation he represents, we
shall be likely to lose the distinctive feature of
the administration that has been established,
with very little chance of showing in any
other direction a superiority the world will ap
plaud.
PURPOSE IX VIEW.
The government of the Philippine Islands
ha». therefore, aimed to impart such knowl
edge as would put. the Filipino in touch with
the practical ideas and- affairs of modern civil
ization. It has believed, moreover, that this
might be done without educating him dut of
his race, for the Japanese have found a thor
ough adoption of Western arts and sciences
and Western practical methods quite consist
ent with an uncompromising retention of their
race spirit. They have not lost their essential
characteristics because they build steamships
and railroads and no longer commit hari-kari,
•nd there Is much In Japanese history to sup
port the idea, that the Philippines may be led
to accept many of the arts and practical
methods of the West, while still retaining
many of the distinctive qualities of their race.
The educational policy of the Government
of the Philippine Islands differs from that fol
lowed by any other Ruropean nation in Its
Oriental dependencies, and this is and must
continue to be the distinguishing feature of
American administration of dependencies.
Without It. It might be difficult to show
wherein our government of these dependencies
Is likely to be superior to that of other na
tions.
The work undertaken by the Government In
the Philippines involves the problem of one
people educating the members of another, and
an alien race, whose thoughts are not our
thoughts, and whose motives in conduct It Is
not always easy for us to understand. There
fcre at the foundation of our educational ad
ministration In the Philippine* He the facts
of racial distinction and the question of the
relation of one race to another.
The professor said In part:
The system of education Introduced
by the United States Government in
the Philippine Islands was explained
this afternoon by Professor Bernard
Moses, under whose direction the sys
tem was inaugurated In the islands, in
a lecture before the Alameda County
Teachers' Institute at Hamilton Hall.
The topic of Professor Moses* address
was "The Establishment of Public
Schools In the Philippines," and in his
introductory remarks the professor
outlined the history of the laws passed
regarding the establishment of schools
in the islands, and the division of the
archipelago into the • present school
divisions, thirty-six In number, all ex
cept four of which are under the di
rection of a regular division superin
tendent. These superintendents are
under a general superintendent ap
pointed by the Government, who is
authorized to keep in the service of
the insular Government a force of one
thousand trained teachers for the
primary schools. In addition to these
there are a number of teachers in the
employ of the various municipalities.
Professor Moses pointed out that the
work undertaken by the Government
through the Department of Public In
struction was new to Americans, and
was in. some respects different from
the course pursued by other nations In
carrying out their colonial policies.
