No such efforts to stamp out the plague were ever takcen mn China or Manila as have been taken in Honolulu. The drastic measures adopted here for the extermination of the plague would not be tolerated in the States. Dr. Carmichael said that Federa officers were very much hampered in the efficiency of their work because territorial laws are not y a measure powerless to act. He believe that now the center of infection had b destroyved an early death to the plag would resuit. He applauded the very rigid house to house inspectlon because every suspicious case could be isolated at once and infection be reduced to the minimum. He believed the local Board of Health was cntitled to a great deal of credit for the manner in which it had handled the situation. But for its thor- oughness more serious results could have been apprehended. Notable Deaths of the Day. Special Dispatch to The Call.

S STOCKTON, Jan The teuring down of the yoof above a woman's head while she slept or half dozed in a drunken stu- por on a mattress was a scene which oc- curred yesterday afterron on Lafayette street, in this city. Some weeks ago a man of Spanish extraction walked Into Dr. Fisher Clarke’s office and died while sitting on a couch. His identity was not known at the time, but became revealed when the body was removed to the | Morgue and a woman visited that place to view the remains. The woman claimed the dead man as her husband. The house in which the couple lived and In which the woman has been living since the death of the man, was tne property of George S. Ladd. A few days ago the owner announced that he was about to tear down the house, and the woman moved some of her meager effects. She left there, however, an old mattress, and yesterday she went back to the house in a maudlin condition and took up a post- tion on the couch, The workmen were em. ployed all around her, but left the front room in which she iay until the last. As the shingles and boards came down one by one the woman met the workmen with a curse. At last they reached the front room and commenced tq unroof that part of the house. The woman would not arise and Officer Walker was sent for. He was unable to see the woman, and would not arrest her in a place of which she held possession, as she was committing no dis- turbance. ' It was decided to let her leave of her own accerd and then tear down the remainder of ihe nouse before she could return. The woman left some time last night, and this morning the structure was demolished POLITICS IN SCHOOLS. Professor Jordan Says the Moral and | Educational Effect Is Bad. Spectal Dispatch to The Call STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 31— President David Starr ~Jordan to-night | addressed the students upon the subjeet, “Politics in the Public Schools.” The noted orator took a decided stand against the use of personal or political “pulls when the public must pay the penalty. The system which allows private political debts to be paid with public trusts was sharply criticized, while the teacher who knows more of mistry than of psy- cology and is in the profession until she | can marry out of it came in for her sharce, The influence of such persons upon the children that come under them can be but the worst. In pointing out the remedy for the existing evil Dr. Jorcan said: “We need first boards of trustees that have the interest of the schools at heart and who will give the time and thought necessary for proper administraticn Second, ‘superintendents of schools who teaching on the other, who shall know educational aims and ' ideals and the means by which they may be carried out. Third, a corps of trained and able ers, whose knowledge may be a sc information for the pupfl and -vh character will be inspiration. When we have these th from political or personal influences we shall have reason to be proud of our taking “Teaching as a Profession” as his topic. e THIEVES GOT DRUNK. Capture of Two Men Who Brokse Open a Freight Car. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 31.-This morning a freight car in a train standing on a slding at Davisville was broken open and a quantity of goods stolen, including wine, sardines, shoes, e Railroad Detective Willlam' Ahern was sent from this and he found footorints leading away from the car and in the d!rz‘n'!hwngufasa(:‘{ ramento. Following up the trail he came upon two men in the brush near the track with an empty bottle lying by them and some -of the stolen articl cattered that was re-echoed from the shore. There was will and heart behind the cheers for Uncle Sam’s very efficient officers who had done so much to ease the worry the passengers felt during a time of trouble and trial.
