STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. 21.— The late Dr. J. H. Stallard of Menlo Park set aside a sum of money to be offered as prizes to the students of Stanford and the University of California. The money is to be awarded to the best two essays, to be chosen by three judges, two of whom are to be selected by Presidents Jordan and Wheeler and the third by Mrs. Stallard. The essays are to be delivered to the secretary of either university by October 1, 1900, In submitting the subject for discus- sion Dr. Stallard makes the following in- troductory remarks: “'As many writers on matters of seciety and politics, both in Europe and America, are at the present time inclined to discredit certain propo- sitions stated in the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and to regard them as the mere dreams of French philosophers, beyond the scope of practical politics, it seems to be a fitting moment to invite & re- examination of the question whether or not these propositions are correct and presently attainable and practicable, and it so, what means they are to be at- tained. Dr. Stallard t hen quotes the celebrated “equal rights” clause from the Declara- | tion of Independence and lays down the oints for discussion: What meaning should be attach- ed to the term ‘right of man? If this phrase is metaphorfral, what should be its literal statement? | " *Second—Are all men created equal with | respect to the rights therein declared to be inalienable? “Third—What are the economic condi- | tions upon which the —r?u)'ment of these | inalienable rights depends? | “Fourth—Is it the function of govern- ments to secure these economic conditions | equally for all men? | “Fl(mh—whmdle attain these ends? | M The best two prizes will respectively | $100 and $50. e Union of Growers and Packers.

NARROW ESCAP BRAKEMAN THOMAS GREEN During a Wreck a Piece of Flying Cordwood Passed Dangerously Near His Head. SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 2L.—Thomas Green, a brakeman in the employ of the Califor- nia Northwestern Railway Company, had one of the narrowest escapes from death ever recorded to-night In a collision be- tween freight cars at the depot east of town. Several drawheads were smashed, air pipes torn asunder, a steam pipe In the engine broken and one car thrown on top of another as the result of the smash-up. The owl freight left Petaluma to-night at 6 o'clock, with Conductor Michael Clancy In charge and Engineer James Donahue at the throttle.

As It was a piece of cordwood hurtled through the air and came within an ace of knocking his head off.

DEPUTY SHERIFS HARROM ESCAPE Bullet in the Neck of| Frank Wilson. e e Special Dispatch to The Call STOCKTON, Dec. 21.—Frank Wilson, a | deputy sheriff of Walnut Grove, Sacra- | mento County, lles at his room in the White House with a bullet .wound in his neck, after a very narrow escape from | death. Several stories have been given as to how he received the wound. Wllson has done all in his power to hush the matter | up, although he says that there is nothing mysterious or out of the way in the mat- ter. The Sacramento officer has been con- fined to his room since last Thursday night, when the accident occurred. Wil- son came from Sacramento here, bringing a patient for the State Hospital. Thursday night, it is claimed, he went | to his room. As he was about to retire | he dropped his pistol to the floor. The of- ficer made a grab to catch It, so the story goes, and the butt struck the_floor just as he was bending over it. The bullet struck Wilson in the neck, plowing around it and emerging back of the shoulder. It narrowly misscd the windpipe and spinal column. Another story says that Wilson tried to commit suicide. It is known that he did not have a doctor until the following day, shortly before noon, hu\\'mq laid bleeding all night. On this theory It is sald that the incident was not so much of an accl- dent as reported. Another story was that Wilson had been shot by another, but he maintains that it was accldental, despite the rumors to the contrary. MISSION MASONIC LODGE. Installation of Officers and Presenta- tion to the Retiring Master and Wife. One hundred and seventy members of Mission Lodge, Free and Accepted Ma- sons, and seventy visitors were present in the beautiful hall of Mission Masonic Lodge last night to witness the instal- lation of the following named officers of the lodge for the current year: Charles A.

Wilson, on behalf of the lodge, presented to retiring Master Gib- son an evidence of its appreciation of ser- vices in the shlfie of a case of silver spoons, forks and knives, and this was fol- lowed by the presentation by members of | the lodge of a fine silver service to the wife of the retiring master. Then there was a banquet In the upper hall, music by Mission Lodge Quartet and responses to a number of toasts suggested by the new master, who presided at the head of the table. _ —— COURT NOTES. The case of M. H. Shepard, clerk for H. G. Prince, agent for the Workmen's Guar- antee Fund Association, charged with em- | bezzling $610 93, was dismissed by Judge Conlan yesterday on motion of Prosecut- ing Attorney Low, as the complaint was defective in alleging that Shepard em- bezzled the funds of the association | instead of the funds of his employer.

Copyright, 1899, by Seymour Eaton. GREAT AMERICAN STATESMEN. Contributors to this course Master, Professor C Laughlin and others Professor Albert Bushnell Hart, Prof arles H. Smith, Dr. Frederic hnel! v John Bach Me- W. Speirs, Professor Andrew C. Mc- X.—JOHN MARSHALL. | For thirty-five years John Marshall was the head of the United States Supreme Court. He was our greatest Chief Jus- tice and one of the world's greatest mas- ters of judicial analysis. Indeed. so great was the fame he @cquired that he seems to have been destined by nature to be- come & great jurist. Nor were his judi- clal services the only ones he rendered his country. Long before he became a member of the Supreme Court he had won an enviable fame as soldier, legis- lator and statesman. | Mr. Marshall was a native of Virginia, and was born in Fauquier County in 1775. He had excellent educational opportuni- ties in his youth, but was denled the ad. vantages of collegiate training. In place | of college he entered the rough school of | war. Here he studied men instead of books; he strengthened the manliness of | bis character and learned to be self-re- | Uant. He was a soldler for nearly six | JOHN MARSHALL. years and fought in the memorable bat- ties of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth. When his military services were ended he studied law and was soon admitted to practice. He served his State for two years in the House of Burgesses | and was a member of the State Executive | Council for a like period. Mr. Marshall was not a member of the convention that framed the national con- stitution; he was, however, a member of the Virginia ratifying convention. In this body there was a most pronounced oppo- sition to ratification, led by Patrick Hen- ry, George Mason and William Grayson, all of whom were able and eloquent men. The debates tock a wide range. But it was not often that Marshall participated in them; when he did his speeches were devoted to only the most important is- sues, and nearly always were replies to Patrick Henry, He spoke with great ef- fectiveness; his logic was unanswerable, and probably to him more than to any one else is due the turning of the scale in favor of the constitution. When the constitution was ratified Marshall deter- mined to retire from public life and to devote himself to the law. His wish in this matter was not to be gratified. There was still a large minority hostile to the constitution. Some were willing to go so far in ‘their opposition as to defeat, !f possible, the new Government. Marshall believed the new order should have a fair trial and that all the provisions of the constitution should be enforced, and when the opposition set out to secure the anti- federal ascendency In the Legislature he listened to the earmest appeals of his neighbors and accepted an election In that body. He served two terms and brought his great powers to the defense of the federal cause and Washington's adminis- | tration. He was agaln in the Legislature in 179 and 179. At this time the country was excited over Jay's treaty with Eng- land. In the Virginia Legislature the con- stitutionality of the treaty was assailed on the ground that it interfered with the power of Congress to regulate commerce; but Marshall demonstrated the fallacy of this argument so convincingly that the | opposition contented itself with passing a | resolution merely declaring the treaty In- i expedient. In these years Marshall had succeeded | | at the law. His rise had been rapid and | he soon gtood at the head of the Virginia bar with a large and, for that time, lucra- tive practice. He had diligently and pro- | foundly studied both international and public law and so thoroughiy had mas- | tered them that he had no superior in the | entire country and it 1s very doubtful whether he had an equal. His great lvgal ability and the fact that he had beea at all times a powerful defender of the ministration caused President Washing- ton In 179 to invite him to become his Attorney Gerneral. Marshall declined this appointment and also one the rext year to succeed James Monroe to France. When he declined the latter appointment President Washirgton named General Charles Cotesworth Pinckney !n his place; | but the Frerch directory refused to re- celve Pinckn and ordered him to leave the country. Then no other apfointment to France was made during this adminis- | In June following his inaugura- | tion President Adams, hoping to re-estab- | lish diplomatic relations, appointed Pinck- ney, Marshall and Elbridge Gerry as joint | envoys; but the experiment was a failure. | The envoys had not been in Paris |o before secret agents of the Minister ap- roached them, demanding money. These lemands were indignantly repelled. Mar- shall drew up an elaborate paper inwhich, while expressing an earnest desire for maintaining friendly relations with | France, he set forth w.ch froat precision | the requirements of the United States. | This availed nothing and Pinckney and | Marshall, who were Federalists, and as such were supposed to sympathize with England and against France, were or- dered to leave ench territory: Gerry, however, wWho was a republican, was per. Marshall | s and was everywhere received with demon- Patrick Henry | Tell Marshail T | and acted as a | Almost Im- | mediately after Mr. Marshall's return | President Adams offered him a seat on ! the Supreme bench that had been made | vacant by the death of Judge James Wil- son. This Marshall declined and then the appointment was given to his friend, Bushrod Washington. As the time for the Congressional elec- tlons of 179 approached, Marshall was strongly urged to become a candidate. Much against his Inclination he consented and was elected. He served but one ses- sion. During this session the republica: made a bitter and determined attack up- on the administration. This was becagise of the action of the administration In the case of Thomas Nash, a British subject, ch,:rd with the crimes of mutiny and murder. Satisfactory evidence of his criminality being furnished, he was deliv- ered to the British authorities. Then he was tried by court-martial, found guilty and sentenced to death. The fact that he had falsely claimed to be an American citizen led the republicans to introduce resolutions into the House of Representa- tives censuring the President and Judge Bee, the Federal Judge who presided at ad- | wrote a friend, g love him Lecause he felt pletely refuted the assumptions of law on which they were based DThls was the first case in the United States of the ex- tradition of an alleged criminal that arose under International law, and was recog- nized and enforced by ‘a treaty. Mar- shall's speech is still regarded as an au- thoritative exposition of international law on this subject; it settled the principles that have since guided the United States Government In similar cases. This ses- hi slon of Congress continued till May Seven days before Its expiration Marsha was nominated as Secretary of War to succeed James McHenry, who had re- signed. Before his nomination was con- firmed, however, he was appointed Secre- tary of State in'place of Timothy Plcker- ing, -who, because of differences with President Adams over our difficulties with France, had been dismissed from office. Marshall administered this office with eat abllity. His state papers were clear, ogical and unanswerable This fs trus especially of the instructions he wrote Rufus King. our Minister to England, relative to our difficuities with that coun- try as to the right of search , In November of 1800 Chief Justice Eils- worth resigned. President Adams offered the place to John Jay, who declined it; then he Secretary 1, whowas unanfmous- Iy confirmed. Mar- shall was now years old, and il now had never held & judicial appoint- ment. The task con- fronting him was a most difficult one. There were no pre cedents and he could efve but little as. ance from books, but with a profound mind, a patient und untiring ~ industry and that strong com- mon sense which is ever th basis of greatness. he laid the foundation reared “a vast edll fice by wholly new rules. under entirely novel exigencles and for ends and pur- ever hefore From of the himself head He real court pronounced the most important decisions of the court. rils de- cisions are found in some thirty v.l- umes of the reports, and these are \uments. They are characterized rness cf thought and soundness by of they are, too, the standard and au- on all constitutional questicns they treat. After Marshall went on the bench the incidents of his life of public importance are few. In 1807, with Judge Cyrus Grif- fin, he presided at the great state trial of Aaron Burr. Burr was charged with treason and the trial, with some inter- ruption: counsel was employed on.both sid liam Wirt representing the pro: and Luther Martin the defel President Jefter was very anxious for Burr's conviction and did what he could to se- cure it. Marshall, however, was not to be influanced by thi: He preserved “the most rigid impartiality and exaet justice throughout the trial, acquitting himselt, as always, to the public satisfaction.” In 1529 Virginia called a convention to re- vise her State constitution. Marshall was a member of this body, as were also ex- Presidents Madison and Monroe, both of whom were much enfeebled by age. Mar- thall, too, had grown old, but there was no impairment of his wonderful mental powers. His chief interest was in the in- dependence of the judiclary, and to cure this for Virginia he gave his best energies. He did not speak often; when he did it was with the same great ef- fect as in earller life. He remained on the bench six years longer. In the spring of 1835, his health being Iimpaired, he went to Philadelphia for medical advice; he received little benefit, and died there on the 6th of July, In person Marshall was tall: he dressed plainly and is sald to have been “some- what awkward in appearance.” His pri- vate life was without a blemish and was characterized by “unassuming plety amd amiability of temper.”” In 1753 he had mar. ried Miss Mary Willls Ambler, the daugh- ter of the State Treasurer of Virginia, and lived with her for nearly fifty vears. His home was the constant object of his affections, and from all its inmates he had the warmest love and the deepest veneration.
