A voluntary collection of funds has 'ust been sent to General Artemlo Rlcarte, recalcitrant insurrectionary leader, known as "The Viper." Rlcarte Is one of the few Filipinos who, following the crushing, of the Philippine insurrection, refused to take the oath of allegiance to the United Failure of the San Francisco annnlnt a commit SANTA CRUZ. May 1J. The chamber of commerce has pur-phased thlrtv-slx acres of land with May IS. The attainment of a. doctor, of philosophy degree by a blind student featured yesterday's commencement at the University of Call-fornla and won an ovation from the vast audience for Donald Whitney Wheaton of Berkeley.

Wheaton, who, was graduated from the university in 1919, obtained his master's degree In 1921 and for the Past year has been university teaching fellow In history. The subject of the thesis which won his Ph. D. degree yesterday was the political history of the state of California from to 1898. Wheaton was the last candidate to receive his degree and as he was led across the stage by a fellow student, the big audience tendered applause which lasted a minute or more.

Wheaton, resides at 2709 Dwight Way-, Berkeley. Autoist Lacerated In Oakland Crash T. E. Mertens of San Francisco was cut by flying glass in an automobile collision at Third avenue and East Twelfth street early today when the car In which he was riding collided with one driven by Austen E. Archer, 2445 Twenty-sixth avenue.

William Anderson was driving the other machine. Henry Creed, 1012 Fifty-ninth street, was treated at the Emer tee to confer with the East Bay municipal utility district on Hetch Hetchy caused Marston Campbell, president of the district, to send a letter asking action, to Acting Mayor Ralph McLeran. At the recent conference in San Francisco the San Francisco au-1 thorltles agreed to name a com-' mittee on May. 12 to confer with the Eastbay directors on the unsettled details of Hetch Hetchy co-operation, and according to liiiiiilliliiiiii 'a frontage of 2000 feet on the Southern Pacific railroad, to used as sites for Industrial enterprises which may desire to locate in this city. The action was taken when a two-acre tract which the board of directors desired to purchase as the site for a manufac-' turlng establishment which it Is i probable will be located here, went up over night nearly one hundred per cent.

At the same time the directors of the chamber of commerce announced that $15,000 had been subscribed to the budget' of the chamber of commerce In a single day without solicitation. system In the Philippine. He has completed the fifth grade elementary school course and has a fair knowledge' of English. Though only 30 years of age, he has shown marked political talent and Is a fervent advocate of American reforms. Only a clairvoyant could possibly tell what becomes of bills introduced In the Philippine legislature once they meet the eyes of the bosses.

Everything is left ror action until the final hours of th 100-day session, not counting Sundays and holidays, when bills, resolutions and various other documents are rushed through In hectic haste and apparently without syntem or ordeiv.That explains, perhaps, why Director of Posts Jose Topacio is today asking, "What has become of the bill appropriating funds for the opening of forty new telegraph stations, which, I was told, has been passed by both Houses, but which doesn't appear on the list submitted to the Governor-General for action?" Evidently the bosses think yiat government money can be put to better uses than the installation of telegraph offices and have probably ruled that the bill didn't pass, though members present assured Mr, Topacio that It had passed. However, anything can happen in the utter confusion of the last-hour session, and bills can be lost In the Bhuffle without anyone being the wiser. Of the 1000 municipalities in the Philippines only 490 have telegraph stations. Wenceslao E. Retana, who died in Spain recently, was probably the foremost historian.

This scholarly Sta'es. He is living In Japan, where he ekes out a precarious living teaching Spanish. He and his family were hard hif by the recent earthquake and file, which destroyed their home in Tokyo. Hence the collection. i Rlcarte is still hopeful of seeing an Independent Philippines and is constantly engajed In spreading propaganda for the Independence cause.

In 1913-14 he attempted to organize an insurrection In the Philippines, to the islands surreptiously. He worked through the Dimas-Alang secret society, but his movements were so closely watched by the Military Secret Service and the constabulary that the uprising was nipped in the bud on Christmas 1914. Talking to Narcoso Papus, a Filipino, who recently visited Rlcarte In Japan, the arch-insurrecto declared, "I shall return to the Philippines when the light of liberty sends forth Its rays across the borders of my fatherland. Then I shall request the Filipino government to concede me the privilege of heading a delegation to Washington to give thanks and extend the gratitude of the Filipino people to the President, Congress and the MARTINEZ.
