Lummis of Los Angeles Delivers an Address to Students. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 8.— Services in commemoration of the found- ing of Stanford Umversity were held to- night in Assembly Hall. The address of the evening was delivered by Charles F. Lummis of Los Angeles, who took as his “Education.” Mr. Lummis said in The university Is but a part of the world and 1 pose 18 to help the individual to e and to distingu Had the world ap- i the same to f us everything would ) agreeable t lang: berty and cannot exist with- a drawing forth, not of the but of the abil- at there would have cation 1 AL emotions nor of the memory, ity to see things In their true proportions, and to make use of them as their value jus- tifies.

Many of the large growers have already’ lost heavily, and if something is not done soon tons of marketable oranges and lem- s will go to waste. The situation is de- ared to be unprecedented. Thousands of dollars have been lost to the fruit grow- ers of Southern California, with more to follow, even under the most favorable circumstances. Unless a special effort is made by the railroads great hardship is certain to resuli to the orchardis Redlunds shippers ave greatly alarmed by the lack of cars to take away the | packed navels stacked up in the packing houses v to leave for the E soon as the cars tc take them a rive. Several packing-houses hav forced to close thelr doors, not because of | any scarcity of fruit, but simply because they cannot get cars. Corona and Riverside packing-houses tell the same tale. Covina orange hand- lers cannot get cars. Fullerton men fear a large part of the crop. will be lost un- less somethi be done immediately. Much of the ked crop is already unfit for shipping ilast and Las been thrown out. Indeed, many of the packers have had their men at work unpacking oranges that were ready for shipment, simply b cause they might keep a littlé longer un- boxed. The reason for the scarcity of cars for fruit shipping is explained as follows: The | Southern Pacific Company has entered into a contract to haul over the Sunset route the entire sugar crop of Hawail. About 100,00 tons of raw sugar will be brought to San Francisco, whence it will be taken over the long haul by rail to Galveston and Morgan City, thence sent [ by the Morgan line of steamers to_the Jaltimore, Philadelphia and New York refineries. To carry out this tremendous contract will strain the facilities of the Southern Pacific transportation department. A great many cars will be required. The shipments are now in progress and long sugar-laden trains are daily passing through Los Angeles. SAN JOSE POLICE CHIEF BARELY ESCAPES ARREST Warrant Sworn Out Against Him for Violating a Signboard Ordinance. SAN JOSE, March 8.—Chief Kidward, who has been particularly vigilant in en- forcing an ordinance relating to sidewalk signs, had the tables turned on him this afternoon and for ten minutes he hustled about to comply with the ordinance and ve himself from arrest. During this time a warrant drawn up and signed was awaliting service in Clty Justice Richard- son’s court. ’An ordinance provides that signs over sidewalks must be crescent-shaped and nine feet from the walk. A. E. White, proprietor of a First-street restauran was obliged to remove a sign by the po. lice. is afternoon, in passing Chief Kidward’s livery stabie on San Fernando street, he espied a_zign hung In violation of the ordinance. White saw a chance to retaliate and at once went before Justice Richardson and swore to & warrant for the Chlef’s arrest. The police were called in, but, trem- bling, tried to avert the serving of the warrant on their Chief. Kidward was communicated with and begged ten min- utes' time to take down his sign. White granted the request and the arrest of the | Chief and its accompanying perplexities were thereby averted.

In closing Mr. Lummis paid a sincere SHERIEF CIVES B TESTIMONY Mansfield the First Witness; in His Suit Against an Editor, Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, March 8.—The taking of evi- dence in the $10,000 libel suit of Sheriff Mansfield of San Mateo County against D. E. O'Keefe of the Redwood City Times- (Gazette began before Judge Lorigan to- day. A jury was sworn in this forenoon and this afternoon complainant took the stand. The suit is based on an article in which Sherifft Mansfield and Judge Buck of the Superior Court of San Mateo were ac- cused of lack of interest in the prosecu- tion of Frederick Desirello, a deputy of the Sheriff, who shot and killed James Johnson, 2 boy, at Colma In March, 18%. | These officials were charged with using their influence to obtain Desirello’s ac- quittal. Two trials of Desirello resulted in disagreements, Mansfield denied the substance of the article in toto. He admitted that he and | Desirello had been friends for years. | Mansfie!d said he did not consider the Sheriff’s duties to be those of prosecutor, and he had done no more than summon the jury. He had asked the editor to re- tract the charges, and O'Keefe refused. He believed his reputation had been dam- aged to the extent of $10,000, and therefore brought sult. On cross-examination by Attorney Rich- ards for the defense, Mansfield admitted that he had summoned the jurors to try his deputy, Desirello, for murder, and that most if not all of the members of the two juries that disagreed were special venire men. In the first trial he had summoned A. J. Fromm, a saloon-keeper, who served | on the jury. This jury stood six to six for | acquittal ana Fromm voted for acquittal. After the jury was discharged, Mansfield | walked with Fromm down to_the lattery | saloon and there “treated” Fromm anu | the crowd. A partner of Fromm, M. Du- |lack, served the drinks. On the second | ury' Dulack served as a juryman and was summoned by Mansfield. Along this line | Mansfield was wiilingly led by the defense. Mansfield admitted that Desirello, while confined in jail, was allowed to eat with the jailer and given other privileges not enjoved by prisoners. It developed that Desirello is an Italian politician at Colma and has considerable influence in that lo- cality, and the defense intimated that this had saved him frem prosecution. Mans- fleld admitted that Desirello had been a member of a Republican convention which named Mansfield's opponent for Sheriff, but while the deputy differed from his chief in politics he was retained in office. The defense had not finished with the witness when adjournment was taken for the day. Of Interest to the Coast. WASHINGTON, March §.—Mary B. King has been commissioned Postmistress at Entiat, Wash.

FREA CARNDN ON THE CAMPLS Students Cause Wholesale Destruction of Win- dow Glass. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, March 8—Twenty mischiev- ous students at the Washington Agricul- tural College at Pullman created a sensa- tion last night by firing the cannon pro- vided for the use of the cadets and de- stroying $30 worth of glass in the ar- mory bullding. The cannon was fired by the use of a long fuse, which allowed the students to get into their rooms in the dormitory before the explosion. The con- cussion broke every pane of glass in the armory hu(ldln{. thirty-five windows be- ing shattered. When the night watchman reached the scene he found no one, as all the students had escaped. Night Watchman Gregg is accused by the students of playing detective and he was accordingly punished by having nu- merous buckets of ice water thrown upon him from windows above when he r(;::thf'd the boys' dormitory to investi- gate. Since the announcement in the Council meeting that students had been frequent- ing saloons, poolrooms and cardrooms the proctor of Ferry Hall, the boys’ dormi- tory, has made a rule 'that students who live 'there shall not leave after 7 p. m., except on Sun d: 2 without & permit. ay evening, This order has caused ecomes weak and decrepit | | considerable feeling among the students, | the building | main entrance to the bullding, on which | was printed in_large words, “Ferry Prison. called ‘‘cells the inspectors and the proctor ‘‘warden.’” black letters the “keepers" The rooms are !

Vital was convicted of the murder of several Chinese in Santa Barbara County in the early nineties and sentenced to be hanged. Before the time for his execu- tion arrived he became a maniac.

The resolu- tion to rescind was introduced by Cutter earller in the day, and was taken up to- night. s Cutter opened the discussion by re- ferring back to a bill of $14,000 incurred by a former committee to investigate the prisons, and predicted a similar, if not a larger, expense should the resolu- tion adopted on February 20 be allowed to stand. Belshaw followed him. He spoke first of the need of such a committee and of the willingness of the Senate to adopt a resolution providing for its appointment only a few days ago. Then he said: I consider this attempt taken.to rescind the action taken as a personal slight needlessly put upon myself and a direct slap at me, delivered by the Governor of this State, and I do not propose to take such a slap from any man. 1 am my own master here. I take orders from no one, and that is the reason this resolution is going to be put through. I am of one branch of the government: the executive of this State is of another; and if he is to run all branches we have a poor form of republican government. It would be much bet- ter if were a monarchical government.

If the Governor of this State were assailed unjustly and without cause T would be the first Senator upon this floor to get behind him and uphold him. I am with him when he is right; I am against him man shall say I sha lieve he is wrong.

I as I please and I ask no man's permissic no man—I care not who he = course: and the ¢ force me to vote for a measure which to be wrong. There was a long silence as Belshaw sat down. There had been no passion in his voice, but as he proceeded with his arraignment he became deadly in earnest and his words thrilled with the sup- pressed excitement that held him. He used no invectives, but his charge was clear and to the heart of the condition of things at this Legislature. He de- manded that the Governor stay within the powers and province of the Execu- tive "and leave legislation to those in whose hands the constitution has placed it. It was a bold and a dangerous thing to do, but as those who afterward voted against him enviously sald, “Belshaw doesn’t have to live by polities.” Fellow-Senators Criticize. Shortridge followed him, saying the Senator from Contra Costa had mistaken the meaning of the motion. Smith of Kern sald nothing had hap- pened In this sesion which would cause so much regret as the ‘“intemperate of the Senator from Contra n he is wronz. and no support Curtin regretted the “lack of good judgment,” and Senators who have bills in the Governor's hands, or bills going there, stood up and thrust the iron into the man they knew had expressed the conviction of them all Cutter again declared that there was no personality in the matter, and the dis- cussion drifted upon the merits of the measure. The motion to rescind _the resolution was passed by a vote which showed the Contra Costan’s words had not passed unheeded. The roll call was as follows: Ayes—Bettman, Corlett, Curtin, Cutter.
