upon tomorrow to.settle a controversy
that' has, been raised at the university
in , regard to an order of Dr. A.F.'Gilll
han;.medical: examiner"; of, the students
In, charge of the students' infirmary, to
the effect . that Inmates of the students',

the exclusion of all other physicians. :
:.. As "the result -of the order a number
of ..students : have left the university

mediately, after their illness, and have
sought treatment elsewhere. Dr. Gll

the of outside- physicians.
Dr.* Relnhardt is traveling in Europe
and Dr. Gillihan is acting as examining
physician . for' the students during his

The disagreement which President
Wheeler will settle tomorrow had Its
beginning early In the term, when a
number of complaints were made by
students confined in the infirmary to
the president of the student body,
James Burke. No action was taken at
•the: time, as it was thought the matter
wouldadjust itself. -'
\u25a0[ So raanj^ complaints have been re
ceived Yin the last few weeks that, the
student leaders will take the matter to
President Wheeler tomorrow, with the
endrih;- view of hla revocation of the
rule in dispute between the medical
examiner and the students.
Two recent cases are those of t Hugh
Hunt, the freshman football player
whose leg was broken In the game
with Santa Clara, and W. M. Hollister.
suffering from typhoid fever. Hunt
when he received the injury was placed
in the care of Dr.. Frank Simpson and
removed to the students' Infirmary. Dr.
Gillihan would not allow Simpson to
attend Hunt at the infirmary. Hunt
was then removed, to the Roosevelt hos
pital. Hollister is prominent In fra
ternity circles at the university. When
he was taken ill his family ordered
that the family physician be called to
attend him. Dr. Gillihan declared that
no physician besides himself would be
allowed in the building unless called
for consultation. ,-
IIolllst«r's case will be determined
by the head of the university tomorrow
upon the appeal of James Burke, presi
dent of the student body. V V:^

BERKELEY POSTOFFICE
SITUATION UNCHANGED
Committee Calls on Repre
sentative Knowland to
Discuss Matter
TALK OF COMPROMISE
New Candidate May Be In
jected Into Fight Over
\u25a0 Postmastership
BERKELEY, Oct. 7. — Representative;
Joseph -R. Knowland has reached a
frame of mind toward the- Berkeley
postofflce situation . which indicates |
that he has decided he does not want
to" fight President Roosevelt too hard
over the .appointment; of- Clarence S.
Merrill as . postmaster. Knowland is
paving the way to talk compromise.
That his candidate. -Charley Thomas.
is absolutely out of It -was made cer
tain today, when a delegation, of lead
ers in business and professional life
in Berkeley waited on Knowland at
his \u25a0 Oakland office in company with
the postmaster. -r
Merrill went to pay his respects to
the congressman. The others went to
urge Knowland to favor Merrill's ap
pointment when ha should reach Wash
ington, this winter. \u25a0
To that proposition Knowland was
quite emphatic in his refusal "at this
time to consider it." But he was not
so insistent when the suggestion — just |
a peep of a suggestion — was made dur
ing a three- hours' conference that a
thlro* person might be selected as a
compromise candidate.
K/iowland was assured and was told
that Merrill was the choice of the
Berkeley residents, and that so far as j
that was concerned the man named 1 by
President Roosevelt as a recess ap
pointee was a most satisfactory selec
tion. Knowland said that his position
was unchanged thus far. He had sent
In Thomas* name and had yet to hear
anything against the nomination.
Knowland told the committee that if
Thomas* appointment should prove to
be impossible that a^third man might
be chosen, in short that Merrill was
only a recess appointment and could
bo withdrawn.
But the Berkeleyans said that Mer
rill had resigned a position to take
the postmastership and they, therefore,
desired that he should be retained.
After the conference It was announced
that the Berkeley committee told
Knowland that 75 per cent of the resi
dents in the college town were for
Merrill. At the conclusion of the con
ference Knowland assured his callers
that he would investigate carefully all
of the angles of tho situation.
Among those who went with Merrill
to Knowland were Assistant Postmas
ter JW. P. Phillips and a citizens* com
mittee composed of J. L" Barker, E. E.
Newton. T. W. Foss, E. R. Hallett, E. J.
Martin (chairman) and Professor Irv
ing Stringham.
OAKLAND COMMERCIAL
MEN FILE GRIEVANCE
Ask City Council .to Amelior
ate Intolerable Switch
ing Conditions
OAKLAND, Oct. 7. — Affirmation of
the account published in The Call of
the chicanery practiced by the South
ern Pacific company in its switching
agreement with the Santa Fe was
brought to the attention of' the Oak
land city council this evening. Many
manufacturers and merchants who are
excluded from Santa Fe freight ser
vice owing to the terms of the agree
ment petitioned the city council to
make the Harriman corporation rectify
Its agreement with the Santa Fe before
It could obtain further favors from the
city.
The Santa Fe railroad, which has
its terminal at Fortieth street, con
tracted for the Southern Pacific to han
dle its cars within the latter com
pany's yard limits. By adroit cur
tailment .of those limits the Southern
Pacific was able to put a large terri
tory beyond the pale, and shippers af
fected would have to pay a rate
amounting to a 20 or 25 per cent in
crease to get their goods handled by
the. Santa Fe. The excluded district
lay north of Sixteenth street and east
of Alice. :
The resentment of the affected ship
pers: became manifest when The Call
published exclusively the details of the
difficulty which faced them. They re
tained Attorney Robert N. Fitzgerald
of the firm of Abbott & Fitzgerald to
presents their grievance. The , com
plaint, which was filed with the city
council this evening, is based entirely
on the facts presented in The Call's
article on the subject.
It is the purpose of the petitioners
to call to the attention of the city coun
cil the arbitrary, regulations fixed by
the ' Southern Pacific, which have the
effect/ of preventing competition, and
to request the council to force the
Southern! Pacific to ameliorate the con
ditions resulting from the switching
agreement; \u25a0.-•-*\u25a0
The city council passed to print to
; night an : ordinance granting to the
Western Pacific railway a franchise for
a strip of land 1,000 feet wide north
of and adjoining the north training
wall. .; The executive council of the
.harbor league offered a resolution that
the city. council provide for an 80 foot
roadway over the, strjp. but this was
not considered, feasible.;
