4 Rev. Brother Genehern, Pioneer of Christian Brothers, Passes Away Former College Presi dent Serves the Church 50 Years OAKLAND. Aug. 18. — Rev. Brother Genebern, a member of the order of Christian Brothers for 60 years, former president of Sacred Heart college of San "Francisco, and president of St. Joseph's academy of Berkeley, died this afternoon at 3 o'clock at his rooms in the academy building, Peralta park. Berkeley. By his death one of the most promi nent figures in the educational circles of the Catholic church on the Pacific coast Is removed. For nearly 40 years Brother Genebern had been active in the -work of the order In California- He xras highly honored In the frater nity, which he had served for more than half a century. His golden anni versary was celebrated last April. Brother Genebern was one of eight brothers who went to San Francisco from New York city In 1869 at the re quest of Pope Pius IX. to take over thp administration of St. Mary's college, which was then located in Mission road. The lay brothers who . had charge from the time Archbishop Alemany founded the institution In ISG3 .had been unable to specialize In their work as the fast growing, needs of the school demanded and accordingly asked to be relieved. "The archbishop accordingly petitioned His Holiness with the result that the Christian Brothers were selected to take over the college. Since the death of Brother Genebern, Brother Sablnlan, at present secretary and treasurer of St Mary's college, is the sole surviving member of the little band of pioneers of the order. " Brother Genebern was appointed pre fect of St Mary's, where he at once demonstrated the possession of rare abilities as a disciplinarian and as a financial manager. After discharging the duties of this position for several years he was appointed president of Sacramento institute in Sacramento, and beginning In 1884 he acted as presi dent of Sacred Heart oollege in San Francisco for the ensuing 10 years. For another year he- was vice-president of St- Mary's college in Oakland, when he was appointed president of 6t Joseph's academy, then located at Fifth ! and Jackson streets. In this city. Brother Oenebern disliked the location of the academy and at once began a cam paign to secure Its removal. In this he met \rith considerable opposition, from other faculty members, as the school had been established in that location many years previously. Never discouraged, he continued his work until finally in 1903 the academy was removed to its present beautiful surroundings In Peralta park. Under his administration its membership has increased fourfold since Its removal and Its affairs at present are In a flourishing condition. Six years ago the pioneer teacher was stricken with paralysis and last year he asked to be relieved of the more onerous of his duties. He continued, as frenoral advisor and actively in charge of the finances. Drother Genebern enjoyed recreation with others yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, but failed to appear at a meet ing scheduled for 4:20 o'clock. On go ing to his room some of his fraters found him apparently. asleep In his chair and efforts to rouse him "were futile. He continued unconscious until his death today. Death occurred peace fully as he had often predicted and as Jip wished. Brother Genebern. was In his sixty-fourth year. In secular life he was Frederick Stelner. He was born in Detroit Michigan, where .he leaves two brothers, both engaged In business. When 14 years of age Brother Gene b»»rn went to Baltimore, * Maryland, where he entered the Christian Brothers' institute. At once he Identi fied himself with the order. He began teaching when he' was 20 years of agp. and occupied .positions In that capacity in Baltimore and later In St Louis until sent to this coast. , For many years he v.as a close friend of the late Arch bishop Montgomery and at the death of the distinguished prelate there was no more sincere, mourner than Brother Genebern. The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning from St Joseph's academy with a solemn requiem high mass. Interment will be in St Mary's cemetery, In Oakland. . — FIREMAN WHO SERVED 32 YEARS IS RETIRED OAKLAND.

THOMAS IS COMING BACK TO INTERVIEW WHEELER Cuts Vacation Short When He Learns of College Man's Opposition BERKELEY, Aug. 18. — The wires carried the news to Charles E. Thomas at Lake Tahoe last night that his chances of being Berkeley's next post master were endangered by the unex pected opposition of President 'Benja min Ide Wheeler. Thomas promptly prepared to return to Berkeley to mend his political fences. At the Thomas home at 2001 Bancroft way, the caretaker said this evening that the master of the house might re turn at any moment, as he had already left Lake Tahoe and that his return certainly would not be delayed longer than tomorrow.. Thomas' first business when he ar rives home will be to interview Presi dent Wheeler and receive from Wheel er an explanation of the charge that he (Thomas) is not likely to make a com petent postmaster. Thomas has been told that .Wheeler awaits him, and that it will greatly bolster up his candidacy if he can succeed in convincing Dr. Wheeler that good service may be ex pected under Thomas' rule in the post office. After that conference with Wheeler the program will carry Thomas along to Representative Joseph R. Knowland, who will hear what Thomas has to say about the situation.' Friends of the Berkeley candidate are expected to also visit Knowland and communicate with him concerning Thomas' candidacy. They are due to provide Knowhmd with cogent arguments to offset President Wheeler's idea that Thomas is not good material for a postmaster. J President . Wheeler insists ' that his sole aim In all of this controversy; Is to procure first class service in the Berkeley postoffice, the university "be ing Interested to that extent In the po litical fight. Dr. Wheeler will not ad mit that he has opposed Thomas per sonally, or that he has recommended Clarence S. Merrill, the chief opponent of Thomas. Merrill has nothing to say. about President . Wheeler's entrance into the fight He Is a "receptive candidate." As assistant cashier of the First.na tional bank, he is not In need of polit ical preferment, and he is further dis inclined to make an active campaign for the postmastershlp by reason of the fact that the bank does not relish, the prospect of losing him, and has so In formed him. * . Merrill's friends are active, however. Captain E. J. Martin is circulating peti tions in Merrill's Interest and hundreds have signed them, notably professors at the university who Join with Presi dent Wheeler In opposition to Charles E. Thomas as a candidate for , George Schmidt's seat in the postoffice. REEVES AND KISER ACCUSED BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 18.—Informa tion charging murder has been filed against John W.
