But do not the questions themselves reveal quite as much, in their very inception? Here is a questionnaire approved by a large committee of ministers presumably in good standing, which can be answered in the affirmative by a multitude of persons who would have been refused admission to any1 orthodox church in. America even a generation ago. By these questions, one can qualify as a good Christian if he thinks Christ merely more divine than "Buddha and the scrip- IIIIIMIIIM Ill CHOWING an increase of over the same period last year, Oakland stood third in amount of bank debits among California cities during the week ending Wednesday, December 8, according to figures released today by the California Development Association.

according to Theodore Roche, defense attorney." Roche expected to call 20 witnesses and intimates that an. entire week will be needed to present the defense case to the jury. The government's case, consumed four days, ended yesterday. The, court dismissed two of the 11 counts against Green and will rule Monday on a third motion of the defense to strike out all of the charges. The defending attorneys contended that the corpus had' not been established.

In addition, the court was requested to strike out another count of the liquor embezzlement Indictment, because Colonel Green, as prohibition administrator, it is claimed, had the right to move and possess liquors. This will be decided by Judge St. Sure Monday. Counts three and six were dismissed upon motion of United States Attorney Eugene D. Bennett.

These had to do with a package of liquor Green is alleged to have carried from the enforcement offices December 5, 1925, and two bottles of whisky alleged to have been taken December 1. Louis V. Crowley, of the defense counsel, declared that the government has at no time proved that any of the liquor alleged to have been taken, by Green, was con sumed either, by the defendant or anybody else. Agricultural Branch Of University Banned BERKELEY, Dec. 11.

Establishment of new branches of the University of California college of agriculture throughout the state other than for purely temporary measures will meet with opposition from the agricultural legislative committee, the board of regents of the university was informed today. In explaining this startU to the regents; A. C. Hardison, chairman of the committee, said: "We are opposed to the establishment of any more permanent centers of research In California. We urge that when investigators are sent into any country to work on any agricultural problem, that their work be strictly on a temporary basis; and that they be withdrawn promptly when their research Is completed."

Herbert Fordham, of New-York, member of the commission on character and fitness of applicants to the bar, lias resigned his position because he can not find out. If it is a. learned profession, he says, four out of five of those admitted to it in New York have no qualifications for membership in such a profession.

They never heard of Jolyi Marshall, Daniel Webster or Chas. E. Hughes; they know nothing of American history and institutions, and they never read any standard English books. Iflt is a skilled trade, they have served an apprenticeship at that and acquired its notions. "Character," apparently, consists In not having been convicted of crime, and "fitness" has never kept anybody permanently out, no matter how grotesquely ignorant of everything except the technique of his, craft.

If these are the only qualifications for admission, after passing' the examinations. Mr. Fordham doesnot see why a grown man should sit further on a commission to determine them. a a IS It not about time ror tne standard of legal education to undergo the transformation which has taken place in medical education during the past twenty-five years? The change, in fact, has already come in the leading schools of law. They admit only educated men, and they turn out scholarly lawyers.

But only a small part 'of the actual candidates for the bar have had this training. Most of them have learned trade, rather than prepared for a profession.

HOSPITAL TO OF OR. BUTEhU A bronze plate will be placed at thp entrance of the surgery at Mer-vtft hospital as a perpetual memor-iTf to Dr. Samuel H. Buteau, who was president of the Merrltt Hospital, association and institution's executive head at his death last October. Dr.

Buteau was a trustee of the hospital for 18 years. Following a heart attack he was taken to the Hospital, where he died on October 29, in the place which had ben the scene of his long period of work in relieving the sufferings of others. bronze plate was approved 'iit a meeting of the board of trustees of Merritt. hospital, at which thamembers expressed the unanimous view that 'a bronze mmorlal was the most fitting tribute that could, be paid to Dr. Buteau in cert.

slderation of the importance of his. service to the institution and his work in surgery. The plate bears the following legend: SURGERY 864 1926 SAMUEL HAWKINS BUTEAU Surgeon Tbe guiding spirit In the development of this Department In Affectionate Memory The Staff of Merrltt Hospital And His Friends At the meeting in which the memorial was approved trustees Dr. Peter Wheeler, Dr. George Relnle and W.

B. Mosley -were present, and the Merritt hospital staff was represented by Dr. W. E. Mitch.ill and Dr.

Charles Dukes. The friends Of Dr. BUteau were represenieu Dy Frank J. Edoff, Harmon Bell and "Everett J. Brown.

Dr. Buteau lived in Oakland about 40 years, having come here from Missouri. For six years he was a member of the Oakland Park board, from which ho retired in 1921. He was first president of the Surgeons' Society of Oakland. HONOR II is.

"If I these standards had been in a. force in his time, Abraham Lincoln could never have been ad mitted to the bar." But he would! If schools had been as accessible in his time as In ours, he would have gone through them. Even without them, he acquired the qualifications which Mr. Fordham's aunlicants lack. He knew the things of which they are ignorant His Cooper Union speech is not merely a revelation of knowledge of American history; it is an actual contribution to it, which would be accepted by a modern university as original research by a candidate for the doctor degree.

Abraham Lincoln, unschooled. was a learned member of a learned profession. WThat he did for himself, without help, any young man of, brains and determination can do much more easily, with a multitude of helps. If he lacks brains and energy, or has not suitably used them, why be a lawyer? There are other good trades, which require chiefly skill in the craft. SHALL men be bent to institutions, or institutions to men? Evidently it is the human factor that must yield.

We have, for Instance, the comparatively new Institution, Jnn.Xhe world of nationalism. But, new as it is, we treat it as eternal and unchangeable. Since it will not work except with a homogenous population, we make populations forcibly homogeneous, whatever the human consequences. The Greeks in Turkey and the Turks in Greece were better off where tley were, and both countries were better cultivated and more prosperous for them. But the nationalism of the Turkish and Greek governments did not work so well.

So there were forcible deportations, both ways, with unlliplted sorrow, suffering and loss to everybody. The same thing Is taking place all over the Balkans. Everywhere else if no body is being put out, everybody Is at least kept. out who is unlike those already In. That Is the meaning of our own immigration laws.

Where, as in our Southern States, the situation can be neither prevented nor undone, we set up a caste system to divide the social structure, and condone the government of one race 6ver the other. But nowhere do we bend institutions to fit men. Evidently human lives are more pliable material than legal fictions. CIVIC LEADERS IIT BITES Funeral services for Dr. Pauline S.

Nusbaumer, for many years one of Oakland's leading physicians, who died Thursday night, were held this morning from the home of her niece, Mrs. Harry M. Lawrence, 7 Estrella avenue. Piedmont.
