Nov. 2ft.?An effort by students belonging to the various fra- ternities of the University of Califor- nia to raise the scholarship record and to abolish rushing and pledging of freshmen for membership took definite shape this afternoon at a meeting of representatives of the Greek letter so- cieties, which was called by Prof. O. M. Washburn, dean of the lower division. An interfraternlty agreement com- mittee, which Professor Washburn named, arranged several changes in the status of the organizations, which, will be voted on by the fraternities. One change is for publicity of schol- arship records of the clubs and frater- nities. The Call prints all the news all the lime. It is "the paper of authority." Fairness to all, malice toward none is the policy of the New Independent Call. Two members of Berkeley assembly, college towns most exclusive club. Dinners Are Given Preceding Dance of the College Town's Exclusive Club BERKELEY. Nov. 20.?Jn tho pres- ence of thousands from all sections of the state agriculture hall, the new administration building of the college of agriculture at the University of rnia, was dedicated this morning. and Dr. Thomas Forsyth Hunt, one of the leading agricultural scientists of* the nation, was inducted into office as dean of the college and director of the United States experimental station. These ceremonies took place in Har- mon gymnasium and on the sward in front of the new hall. Doctor Hunt delivered his inaugural address this evening, outlining the policy to be pursued to make California the fore- most state in the union in agricul- tural education and in practical hus- bandry. Doctor Hunt is expected to be the leader in an epochal movement in this state. That one of the new dean's quali- ties Is that of vision was emphasized by Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the university, in his speech con- ferring upon Doctor Hunt the robe of office. EFFICIENCY AND INCOMES "Prosperity on the farm depends," Doctor Hunt said in bis Inaugural ad- dress, "largely on moral and ethical ideals. In our new conception of a successful life, we do not have pros- perity without morality, but we do have prosperity because of morality. Efficiency and morality may not be synonymous, but they are mighty good chums." The new policy of the college was definitely explained by Hunt. He said he intended to establish a department of new agricultural industries, while the work of the college in all branches would be continued and extended. "The college of agriculture," he said, ' "has three phases?research, education and public .service. The splendid insti- tution of research for the training of graduate students will be promoted (Riverside), with Dr. H. J. Webber of Cornell, one of the best known teachers of postgraduate students in the coun- try, at its head. Here will be a great graduate school of tropical agriculture. "Secondly, as to education, students L; n the college of agriculture at Berke- ley will, in their first two years, be thoroughly grounded in English, math- ematics, language, history and science, and with reference to their own special work will be trained in the following four agricultural subjects: Agricultural chemistry, soils, plant propagation, the principles of breeding plants and ani- mals. SPECIALTIES SECOND YEAR "After the sophomore year the period of specialization comes. Then a student will have to elect either to specialize in dairying or animal hus- bandry at Davis, or in agronomy at Davis or Fresno, or In horticultural pursuits or landscape gardening at Fresno or Riverside, and eventually, when a department of forestry Is es- tablished, perhaps in forestry at Chico or Santa Monica. This does not mean that they will leave Berkeley for all of the last two years. The program was universally accepted for forestry schools, and will be followed. Stu- dents will as>end eight weeks on the farm immediately after the sophomore year. The whole of the junior and first half of the senior year will be spent at Berkeley and the last half of the senior again at the farm. Unless the ranches of California are to be abandoned or are to be cultivated by foreigners there arc in California at this moment more than 8,000 young men between the ages of 18 and 21 who will some day occupy the land. Fewer EURYDICE CLUB PLANS CONCERT NEXT MONDAY Society Coin posed of Forty Women's Voices aad Soloists Who Have Excellent Local Standing OAKLAND, Nov. 20.?The first con- cert of the tenth season of the Eu- rydice club will be given Monday even- ing at the First Unitarian church.

Little had not open active in the bank's affairs for several months. WALTER ANTHONY In his search for variety, Fred But- ler at the Alcazar, turns up many kinds of drama. "A Colonial Girl," is one kind. It is melodrama, as you will see for yourself from this speech culled from the glowing rhetoric of the thrill- ing third act. The hero, plucking from the pocket next his heart a scented bag, throws it passionately at the heroine's feet and cries: "My life lies ruined at your feet; but remember, you bear my name, and if you betray it I shall come back for revenge, even from the grave!" And the poor girl is innocent of any wrong doing at ail, a3 subsequently is disclosed in the last act. PLAY FILL OF THRILLS "A Colonial Girl" is almost as full of thrills as fine speeches. Like a Bertha M. Clay or a Laura Jean Lihbey story, "it teems with excitement." A grimly determined but beauteous adventuress sows trouble In the very first scene; the liberty boys and the hateful redcoats are at each other's throats during the entire action; a gallant Yankee spy thrice eludes his pursuers by the oiled agency of a pivoted Secret door and once by leaping head first fiom the upper window of the old mill Into the icy waters of the sullen beneath. Such diligence and industry in escap- ing from King George's villainous sol- diers has Its reward in the final act. The hero, fighting for his lady's/ honor against fearful odds, is rescued just in the nick of time by the liberty lads, who capture the mansion on the Hudson wherein the sanguinary struggle is be- ing waged. PIECE GOES WITH SPEED The time Is during the revolutionary war, I need not tell you; the hero Is, it . is also needless to relate, the brave, manly Yankee spy; the heroine is a dauntless and much harassed little rebel; the villain is a redcoat and the adventuress is a very dlshonoiable tory. All the bad folks are British and all the good are not. I half suspect that the origin of George M. Cohan is exhibited in this patriotic play. I think he must be a descendant of the hero and the heroine. The play Tuesday night at the Alcazar went with the speed of Paul Reveres ride. Everybody was up in the.lines, except for a stumble or two; the play- ers reveled in the high heroics, and gave them with the exaggerated man- ner appropriate to the occasion. Charles Ruggles* literally swam in a sea of laughter. He showed the excellent taste of liking his.jvork and played the role of the ardent lover and clan- destinely married husband of the in- genue with mock seriousness and real humor. MISS FEALY IS CLEVER James Durkin was the hero who married his wife on a wager and won her affection afterward at the perpetual risk of making her a widow. Miss Fealy was the pretty little colonial girl whose archaic graces of long ago were fresh and sweet in her delicate ?keeping. A quibbler might have wished that the elements of probability had been better cared for by the authors, but Miss Fealy played her role with the charming gravity of a grownup telling fairy stories to children, and so we all believed In her. The Alcazar manner of setting and dressing its. 1 plays is referred to many of our visiting friends whose ward- robes and whose scenic properties rare- ly match the propriety of the achieve- ments of the producing department of the Alcazar. "A. Colonial Girl," in short, Is dra- matic entertainment for those who like melodrama well played and enjoy the pleasures of released imagination. Its patriotism is as clear as Its morals. The villain is a redcoat and dies like a dog in the last act. The Call prints all the news all the time. It is "the paper of authority." bay included in the invita- tion list.' # * * Miss Myra Hall entertained at a luncheon this afternoon at the Country club, asking her guests to meet Miss Grace Downey.

Alameda Activities ALAMEDA. Nov. 20. ?Miss Hester Catherine Oliver, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Oliver, granddaughter of the late D. J. Oliver and of Mrs. Richard Tobin. and a relative of the late D. O. Mills, became the bride of Frank Frederick de Leslie in Christ Episcopal church this evening. The church service was followed by a re- ception at 1018 Union street, the home of Mrs. A. U. Mills, aunt of the bride. The reception guests were limited to relatives and immediate friends of the couple. The wedding service was read by Rev. Everett W. Couper, rector of Christ Episcopal church. The* bride was given away by her uncle, A. U. Mills, in the absence of her father, who is in Canada on business. She was at- tended by Miss Olive Mills, her cousin. Cyril Tobin was best man. The ushers were Harry Cuthbertson, Charles Byrnes, G. A. R. Hyer and Nlon Tucker. The bride's dress was of white marquisette bridal chiffon and rose point with embroidered designs of pearl and crystal and duchess lace panniers. Her bouquet was of lilies of the valley. The maid of honor wore a gown of pink chiffon over messaline and carried Cecil Bruener roses. Pink and green were the predominating colors in the decorative scheme In the church and home. The wedding trip will include a tour of the large eastern cities and the bridal couple will nqt return to Cali- fornia before next February. The bridegroom is connected with the E. J. Tobin firm in San Francisco. The Oli- ver home is afc'Colfax. BERKELEY, Nov. 20.?The Berkeley assembly opened the season tonight in Masonic temple with a dance, in which nearly the full membership of 200 participated. The assembly is the most exclusive club in the college town, and claims many of its guests from the smart set across the bay. Autumn colors were used in all ap- pointments, masses of brilliantly col- ored leaves lending an effective setting to the beautiful costumes. Among the debutantes who came in for a large share of attention were Miss Mary Gayley, daughter of Prof. Charles M. Gayley; Miss Barbara Sutton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Sutton, and Miss Corona Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Allston Williams, who re- cently was graduated from Vassar, where she was chosen to bear the daisy chain.

Sixtieth street and Shattuck avenue, which will be open to the public. Rosseter made the accompanying pic- tures during a tour of Siberia.

OAKLAND, Nov. 20.?Supervisor Mur- phy announced today that the Locke Construction company had been reor- ganized financially and that work on the new county bridge at Niles would be rushed to completion. The com- pany's cotract expires December 1, and the work is about one-quarter complet- ed. Murphy criticized the company strongly for lack of organization and efficiency in the work so far done. County Surveyor Haviland reported to the board that there was danger of floods from Niles canyon. As the county has paid $30,000 for work com- pleted on the piers for the bridge, Haviland said that floods carrying away tho false work which will have to be erected might entail total loss of this sum by damaging piers. Haviland ad- vised the board to consider stopping the work until low water next year, as in his opinion there was no possibility of completing the bridge during the existing state of low water. Murphy said that the company seldom had more than a dozen men at work. A..C. F. Locke, head of the contracting firm, reported today that with increased financial backing a big gang would be put on the job and that there would be no stopping until the bridge was completed. The New Call is for San Francisco and California ? independent in all things. OAKLAND, Nov. 20.?Pearl E. Man- ning served heavy dumplings for dinner to William S. Manning and he bom- barded her with the delicacies. Mrs. Manning testified in Judge Harris' court today. The dumplings were in fine condition at the regular dinner hour, but Manning was late, she said, and they rapidly increased in density until he declared them uneatable. Mrs. Manning explained that the dumplings made substantial ammuni- tion, but did not carry well. Later he threw a package of meat at her and tried to choke her, she alleged. Judge Harris gave her an interlocutory de- cree of divorce. Mrs. Margaret Hill was given a similar decree (rom R. B. Hill after three attempts had been made to settle their trouble. Hill got the first inter- locutory decree, but this was set aside. Then Judge Murphey declined to grant a decree to either after an extended hearing. At the third trial today they started off with a jury hearing the ac- tion, but the jury was dropped, and Judge Smith finished the case alone. Mrs. Hill said her husband had beaten her and had tried to force her to give him a mortgage for $4,500. They were married as a result of his advertising "object, matrimony." Judge Smith refused decrees to Mrs. Juanita Thomas from Arthur L. Thomas and to Mrs. Katharine Shirley from Elmer J. Shirley. Mrs. Thomas testified that three clays after her marriage her husband admin- istered a beating in a jewelry store in Stockton and that he was so violent, the clerks hid. She also said that when they went up town together he took alleys which paralleled the streets on which she walked. Mrs. Thomas lacked corroboratory testimony. Mrs. Shirley accused her husband of having a grouch and of expressing strong dislike for her children by a former marriage. The accusations did not constitute grounds for divorce, Judge Smith held. Bertha May Staehler obtained an in- terlocutory decree of divorce from Otto C. Staehler, a painter. She testified that Staehler deserted her for two years and had an affinity when he returned. ODD FATE OF BROTHERS Three Members of One Family Shot at Various Times by Policemen CHICAGO, Nov. 20.?Irving Farrall, 20 years old. was shot and Instantly killed by Policeman John Homan while resisting arrest in the basement of the Farrell home early today. Farrell was the third of three brothers to be shot by policemen within five months and the second to be slain. His brother Earl was killed by a policeman on June 23 after he and others had attacked the officer. Another brother, Edward, was shot at that time, but not seriously wounded. than 600 are now receiving instruction in agriculture at Berkeley and Davis. -no. where the university I of land, there la an ? rtunity to build tip the most ex- tensive, most varied and best Instruc- tion in horticulture, both for farm school and university, that is to bp found in the world.

Governor Johnson, an invited guest, could not attend and sent Regent A. W. Foster, who made the brief dedicatory speech. A telegram from the governor was by President Wheeler. ?Since I have been governor," the executive wrote, "one of my dreams has been to make of this particular de- partment the most useful adjunct of all to the people of the state?the place where every man who tills the soil, or deals In its products, or is interested in its productivity or possibilities, will go for information and for guidance and will find all that he seeks." Prof. E. J. Wickson, retiring dean, unveiled a bronze bust of his prede- cessor. Dr. Eugene Waldemar Hilgard, one of the pioneers in America of ag- Itural education. The image was a gift of the Agricultural club of the university, Prof. R. H.

    Doctor Hunt is expected to be theleader in an epochal movement in thisstate.

    That one of the new dean's quali-ties Is that of vision was emphasizedby Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, presidentof the university, in his speech con-ferring upon Doctor Hunt the robe ofoffice.EFFICIENCY AND INCOMES

    "Prosperity on the farm depends,"Doctor Hunt said in bis Inaugural ad-dress, "largely on moral and ethicalideals. In our new conception of asuccessful life, we do not have pros-perity without morality, but we dohave prosperity because of morality.Efficiency and morality may not besynonymous, but they are mighty goodchums."

    The new policy of the college wasdefinitely explained by Hunt. He saidhe intended to establish a departmentof new agricultural industries, whilethe work of the college in all brancheswould be continued and extended.

    "The college of agriculture," he said,

    WALTER ANTHONYIn his search for variety, Fred But-

    ler at the Alcazar, turns up many kindsof drama. "A Colonial Girl," is onekind. It is melodrama, as you will seefor yourself from this speech culledfrom the glowing rhetoric of the thrill-ing third act.

    The hero, plucking from the pocketnext his heart a scented bag, throws itpassionately at the heroine's feet andcries:

    "My life lies ruined at your feet; butremember, you bear my name, and ifyou betray it I shall come back forrevenge, even from the grave!"

    And the poor girl is innocent of anywrong doing at ail, a3 subsequently isdisclosed in the last act.PLAY FILL OF THRILLS

    "A Colonial Girl" is almost as full ofthrills as fine speeches. Like a BerthaM. Clay or a Laura Jean Lihbey story,"it teems with excitement." A grimlydetermined but beauteous adventuresssows trouble In the very first scene; theliberty boys and the hateful redcoatsare at each other's throats during theentire action; a gallant Yankee spythrice eludes his pursuers by the oiledagency of a pivoted Secret door andonce by leaping head first fiom theupper window of the old mill Into theicy waters of the sullen beneath.

    Such diligence and industry in escap-ing from King George's villainous sol-diers has Its reward in the final act. Thehero, fighting for his lady's/ honoragainst fearful odds, is rescued just inthe nick of time by the liberty lads,who capture the mansion on the Hudsonwherein the sanguinary struggle is be-ing waged.

    PIECE GOES WITH SPEEDThe time Is during the revolutionary

    war, I need not tell you; the hero Is, it.is also needless to relate, the brave,manly Yankee spy; the heroine is adauntless and much harassed littlerebel; the villain is a redcoat and theadventuress is a very dlshonoiable tory.All the bad folks are British and all thegood are not. I half suspect that theorigin of George M. Cohan is exhibitedin this patriotic play. I think he mustbe a descendant of the hero and theheroine.

    The play Tuesday night at the Alcazarwent with the speed of Paul Reveresride. Everybody was up in the.lines,except for a stumble or two; the play-ers reveled in the high heroics, andgave them with the exaggerated man-ner appropriate to the occasion. CharlesRuggles* literally swam in a sea oflaughter. He showed the excellenttaste of liking his.jvork and playedthe role of the ardent lover and clan-destinely married husband of the in-genue with mock seriousness and realhumor.MISS FEALY IS CLEVER

    James Durkin was the hero whomarried his wife on a wager and wonher affection afterward at the perpetualrisk of making her a widow. MissFealy was the pretty little colonialgirl whose archaic graces of long agowere fresh and sweet in her delicate

    ?keeping. A quibbler might have wishedthat the elements of probability hadbeen better cared for by the authors,but Miss Fealy played her role withthe charming gravity of a grownuptelling fairy stories to children, and sowe all believed In her.

    The Alcazar manner of setting anddressing its. 1 plays is referred to manyof our visiting friends whose ward-robes and whose scenic properties rare-ly match the propriety of the achieve-ments of the producing department ofthe Alcazar.

    "A. Colonial Girl," in short, Is dra-matic entertainment for those who likemelodrama well played and enjoy thepleasures of released imagination. Itspatriotism is as clear as Its morals.The villain is a redcoat and dies likea dog in the last act.

    The Call prints all the news all thetime. It is "the paper of authority."
