EVENTS IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING ON THE BAY OF SAN FRANGISGO
U. C. ESTABLISHES
CHAIR OF SPANISH
Important Faculty Change Pre«
pares for Opening o!
Panama Canal
BERKELEY, Aug. 11.— Looking for
ward to the opening of the Panama
i^gnal and the time when the commerce
o? California and the Pacific states will
demand an adequate knowledge of
Fpanish-Aincricaa countries, their lan
guage and institutions, the regents of
the university have established a chair
of Spanish and Dr. Rudolph Schevill of
Yale university lias arrived to assume
the professorship. It is now but a
step to create a new* department of
Spanish by withdrawing its faculty
from the general department of Ro
mance languages and institutions, ami
it is predicted that this will take
place within the next two years.
All departments of the university
welcome the creation of the chair of
Spanish. Prof. Henry Morse Stephens
f»ees in it the greater development of
the history department and an added
stimulus to the study of history of
Spanish-American countries on the
part of the university students. The
oommffciiil benefits, he believes, will be
tremendous- to the state and coast.
"The opening of the Panama canal,"
he said, "will bring to this coast com
merce now^n its infancy. With the
growth of trade will come the demand
for men and women with a knowledge
of Hie Spanish language and the eco
nomic needs of the Latin-American
countries.
"It is most gratifying that a pro
fessorship of Spanish has been estab
lished here to m*-et the ncet for stu
dents with a thorough knowledge of
Spanish to aid in the development of
international commerce with the south.
"The benefit to the history depart
ment will bo equally as great, and I
regard the establishment of a chair of
Spanish as a distinct gr>in for all stu
dents who desire to do original re
search In the history of these countries,
which bore such a close Velationship
with early California."
Anticipating the need in commercial
ii<M*i« for graduates who should help
rMiild up a commerce with the countries
of Central and South America. Dr.
Wheeler and the regents have \u25a0 been
active in the last three years in up
building a department of Spanish which
will rill future" wants.
For many years the study of Spanish
was conducted under one instructor, and
only a half dozen courses were given
by him. There was but one section
open to the students of the depart
ment entering: the university, and there
were few opportunities for ""grouping"
on this subject as a major study.
Three years ago there were four
sections opened to entrants beginning iii
Spanish. Last year these had been in
crejLsed to six sections for beginners
and 12 courses in the department. Prof.
John T. Clark C. 11. Howard were
named to assist Instructor Carlos
Brnnsby in the work of the depart
ment, but the jnujor part of their du
ties lay in the French department.
This year the regents have increased
the sections for beginners to seven and
a new course lias b«?en added, entitled
"Modern Spanish Prose," which will be
given for the first time here by the
new professor.
He arrived h^re a few days ago to
outer upon his new duties for the term,
after service at Yale university, which
won him credit. Professor Schevill
was for three years assistant professor
of Spanish at the Xpw Haven institu
tion and was regarded as one of the
ablest members of the faculty. His
brother is a well known American his
torian who has lately completed a
masterpiece.
Profesor Schevtll is an alumnus of
Yale and a graduate of the University
of Munich; Germany, where he took his
•J^gree of doctor of philosophy.
Assisting him in the rejuvenated de
partment will be Assistant Professor
j. T. Clark and Dr., Carlos Bransby.
both of whom have ben connected with
the work in previous yrars.
B^sid^s the regular courses outlined
for students of th« lower classes, a
number of courses for seniors will be
given, and for the first time an oppor
tunity wiH be had to take honors in
the Spanish department.
Honor courses, in which only stu
dents who wish to devote considerable
lime to the stu.Jy of the language can
enroll, will be announced by Professor
Schevtll on the opening of the univer
sity.
The separation of the department of
Spanish from that of the Romance
languages, of which 5t has long been
a part, is a matter of little consequence
now that a professorship of Spanish has
been established.
The first step in the separation pro
cess was taken a year ago when Prof.
Lueien Foulet was appointed head of
the French department. He was given
the title of professor of French lan
guage and literatures and not that of
professor of Romance languages and
literatures, the title of his predecessor,
the late Prof. Victor Paget.
Xow that a chair of Spanish has been
established and Professor Schevill
named to fill it. the complete separa
tion of the departments is a matter of
but a short time. It is probable that
in actual operation the Spanish de
partment will this year, for the first
time, be under the direction of the new
head.

LOW BID ON WALL
MAKES BOARD WARY
Contractors Must Show. Ability
to Perform Work Before
Contract Is Awarded
OAKLAND, Aug. "'.-11.-— Ten bids out of
12. for the contract to build the estuary
quay: wall were rejected by the board
of public works, today as too high, and
the v contract probably wilTbe, let, to
one of „ the "remaining: two concerns to
morrow-afternoon. - ; *. \ "
The companies now in the -race are
the Metropolis:: construction company
and the Carterra contracting company.
The Carterra company's bid is $60,000
lower than the- Metropolis company,
and it may lose the job for that reason.
City Engineer Turner, has advised
the board that lies believes the work
can not be \ done for the 3 figure named
by the bidder. ; The board ordered rep
resentatives of the Carterra \u25a0. company
to appear^ tomorrow to show that it has
facilities for building the wall accord
ing to specifications. In addition, the
methods; of construction must be' ex
plained, to the satisfaction of the city
engineers. , • ' ..'^: .' **?'\u25a0• '\u25a0\u25a0: :"-'-y< .-" -
This action was taken as a matter
of caution because of the difficulties
of excavation and construction which
will confront the workmen. The ex
cavation-will be a trench 40 feet deep
and 2,ooo: feet long. The nature of the
strata is such that much of the dig
ging must-be by hand and bidders must
explainv what* machinery they will use.
The bid of the Carterra company
was $109.75 a linear foot for sections
1 and 3 of the quay wall and $116.99
a linear foot, for sections 2 and 4. 'The
Metropolis company -tiid $145 a linear
foot for the same work in. all sections.
The total cost" of the quay Tvall from
Myrtle to Clay streets, for which a
contract Is- to .be awarded tomorrow,
is estimated by the city engineer at
$350,000. The" two bids accepted are
far below that figure. 'The quay wall
Is the nucleus of estuary water front
development ..which was provided for
in the bond issue of last November.

suit. brought In 1902 against Dalton by
the county of > \u25a0 Alameda to recover
money^pald him for furnishing a copy
of his 'assessment -rolls to, the "city of
Oakland. - The outcome of the suit" was'
that^ Dalton had ..to pay the county
$1,999 that he had received from the
city.':, ': : : , '• b: ;>-":--* ' : . -.

In 1902 Dalton • deceived $2,650 in this j
way. -.:'; :\u25a0\u25a0 \ . \ : \ -. \ . j
• The charge was made at that time i
that he had charged $2,563.33 more than*
the work had: actually cost. him. and
that.he should . turn^ln- the excess to
the :. county treasury. ;T; T Demand' was
"made; upon hi mand he refused to pay
it,- following which the then district
attorney, -John . J.; Allen, 'brought suit
against him. V Judge Melvin decided in

sessment rolls. ' The' work was done by
H. H. Miller, he 'said.^who charged him
