LAW IS THE MAJOR STUDY OF ONE, WHILE THE OTHER IS IN THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT AT PALO ALTO. . i * X3 TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 14. Never before has so much inter- est been shown at Stanford in the Carnot debate, which will occur at Berkeley in February. The fact| that a Stanford man last year won the | annual medal offered by Baron de Cou- bertin has kept up enthusiasm and every one is well satisfied with the showing | made by the successful trio of debaters who won in the final try-out. The Stanford team is peculiarly representtive, two of the debaters being fraternity men and the third and the alternate g Independ- ent. 'Two of the four are law majors, one registers in the department of history and the fourth in philosophy. Herbert C. Jones and Edward W. Rice are students in the law department, Fletcher B. Wagner is in the bistory de- partment and Leon L. Loofbourow, the tention, and that only after the meeting on_the bridge were all aware of it. | The lynching party returned to the ho- | tel, some of the men, including the wit- ness, remaining outside. Hutton said that Claude Brown and Louis Polmanter went to the side of the hotel, got a mfie left there and went inside to guard the doors; whereas in his_direct examina- | tion Hutton had said that Morris and McDaniels got the rope and went back | into the kitchen to guard the doors. | Counsel for the defense began reading his testimony on direct examination from | an urofficial copy and the prosecution | protested. Raker said that the defense | had asked for a certified copy and had | been unable to get it. Further discussion | followed, and Judge Harrington asked | Raker to show the court the copy in his | Possession. Raker refused. on the ground | that it was private property of the de- | fense. The Judge became very angry at | what he called the ungentlemanly con- duct of the defense, and said that he | woulg not permit him to proceed. It was [ the first time, he said, that he ever | heard of counsel refusing to permit the Judge in a case to look at any paper. | The court refused to lef the witness ex- plain any discrepancies in his testimony. Raker: then offered the paper to the | court, but Judge Harrington refused to look at it. Spencer offered to show the paper to the witness, asking Hutton if the portion objected to was his testimony. Post | cbjected, saying counsel knew it was | wrong for a lawyer to show a witness | any paper not a document of the court. Spencer replied that all the counsel for the prosecution knew could be contained in & small primer and would then be un- intelligible. Spencer explained that the defense had two papers, one a personal copy and the other notes of an official reporter. Raker protested that the de- fense was unable to get a certified copy of the reporter's mnotes, as the court would not_order it. This caused Har- rington to become very angry and to say: “Raker. you are getting too obstreper- ous end your remarks regarding the court are ungentlemanly. I'll put you gut of this case if you don't beh&ve your- self.” 5 Dispute Becomes Triangular. The prosecution then took a hand in a triangular row and the air was warm for a few minutes. / Official Reporter Doane finally certified to the copy of his notes in the hands of the defense and the examination of Hut- ton proceeded. The question as to who was the leader of the mob came up, calling for a protest from Post, who said that it had been pro- viously answered, Hutton having testi- fied that Claude Brown was the leader. Hutton sald that five or six of the party went in for old man Hall, but he did not remember any conversation, or who charge of the old man. Hall asked what was wanted, and some one replied: “We'll show you pretty soon.” The lynch— ers went to the bridg udge e, Myers, Constable Carpenter, Sidney Goy- james Brown standing on the hotel.

LOS GATOS, Jan. 14—Hereafter the la- dies attending the Los Gatos Methodist Episcopal Church must remove their headgear so as not to obstruct the view of those behind them. This is the edict that has gone forth from the board of trustees of the church. It was read in church last Sunday and caused mno little stir among the fair sex. The resolution recites that: Many times many who attend church are annoyed and inconvenienced by having their view of the minister and pulpit obstructed by large and spreading hats or bonnets worn by those =itting in front of them, and the effect of a good sermon, address or song is lost by not being able to view the speaker or singer, and as the State has recognized the Justice of the above by passing laws regulating the same in public places of amusement * * '+ we most earnestly and respectfully request that all persons remove their head. dress during the entire service of the church 50 as not to Inconvenience or obstruct the view of any person behind. Many of the ladies of the church de- clare this is unxind of the trustees and the church is liable to suffer from a falling off in attendance of their sex. Besides, Easter is so near, and what wiil that oc- casion be with new and showy hats held in the lap or tucked away under the seat?

A titter went around the room; Judge Harrington declared a recess, and what might have been one of the sensations of the day was spoiled. After recess the question as to how Hut- ton’s memory was refreshed was dropped and Hutton was questioned as to the re- sistance made by Frank Hall. Next the defense took up the position of the moon on the night of the lynchers, Hutton hav- ing said it was high in the heayens. Harris, for the defense, produced an almanac for May and Spencer desired to introduce it. The court refused the re- quest and the debate grew very warm, but the court would not rescind his order.

He spent much time in inquiring as 1o the length and intimacy of Hut- ton’s acquaintance with certain members of the lynching party. The defense pro- tested. Later, when Post asked Hutton if he had played baseball with friends, Raker protested that the court had ruled against the defense when it asked Hut- ton if he had gone swimming with them. The court would not sustain the objection. Raker remarked that “God is not trying this case,” to which Judge Harrington re- plied, “No, God and you are enemijes.” In answer to Post's questions, Hutton said he had not been restrained his liberty and that he had not been tutored for his story. Raker objected to these questions and {he_court sald: “Mr. Raker, you make a lot of high- flown side play for the benefit of the gal- lery and I want you to stop it.” On recross-examination Spencer brought out the fact that the lynchers had met at the Alturas racetrack to arrange and agree on the story to tell the Grand Jury, 50 that body would believe that they weré not the lynchers, Hutton testified further that he resided in the Grand Hotel and made that hotel his stopping place out of his own choice. had _dis- ter, to which \ ‘Lively Campaign at Stanford.

PRESIDENT WILL AGT - PROMPTLY Appeal of AdmiralSchley Is Soon to Be Dis- posed Of. Roosevelt Examines Testi- mony and Forms an Opin- ion for Himself Chief Executive Proposes to Definitely Settle the Famous Naval Con- troversy in His Own Busi- ness-Like Way. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—President Roosevelt will, ‘unless he changes his | present plan, dispose of the appeal | Rear Admiral Schiey within forty-eight hours. His action, he is confident, will definitely settle the naval controversy. In making such a prompt disposition of the | appeal of the rear admiral Roosevelt will | spring a surprise not only upon the ap- pellant but upon the Navy Department. Secretary Long had expected that the PresiGent would await the receipt of the Lrief which Rear Admiral Schiey's coun- sel is now preparing. Rear Admiral Schley has gone south, believing that the President will do nothing in his case un- til the presentation of the document on January 20. According to officials outside | of the Navy Department, who claim to | have knowledge of the Prestdent’s course | in connection with the Schiey case, Roose- velt has been priming himself for action ever since Rear Admiral Schley appeared | at the White House. He immediately seént for a_copy of the testimony adduced dur- ing the investigation by the court of in quiry. He also obtained other Informa- | tion” concerning the views of the cap-| tains of the fleet immediately after the | battle of Santiago. He has talked with | Captain Clark, who commanded the Ore- | gon; Rear Admiral Taylor, who command- | ed the Indiana; Rear Admiral Evans, who | commanded the Iowa, and Mr. Graham, | the press correspondent who was on board the Brooklyn. Hears Defense From Schley. From the lips of Rear Admiral Schley | he heard that officer’s defense. When he | began his investigation Roosevelt brushed | aside all previous opinions he had enter- | talned. As far as possible he placed his | mind in a condition to fairly consider the facts which he hoped to develop. He has not consulted Secretary Long or any other official of the Navy Department, because | he wanted to make a decision which | would be accepted by the country as his | own. The Presldent has about satisfied | himself as to the character of the con- duct of Rear Admiral Schiey during the | war with Spain. | He is allowing no inkling of his opinion to get out and nothing will be made public | until his action is announced. Naval offi- | cials profess to feel confident that the | President will uphold Secretary Long and the findings of the court, with the excep-, tion of those Individually expressed by | Admiral Dewey. If he fails to do this, he will be charged with having given way | to popular clamor, for before Long acted upon the findings of the court he sub-i mitted his indorsement to Roosevelt and the latter approved it. If the President | acts in the Schley case before the rear | admiral submits his appeal, as his pres- ent plan contemplates, friends of the com- mander of the flying squadron will charge him with unwiilingness to consider the points which will vindicate their hero. | This charge was made by them against | Rear Admirals Benham and Ramsay. Un- | mindful of criticism that may be made, | however, Roosevelt has made his investi- | gation and _he proposes to act conscien- tiously, believing that the country will ac- cept his verdict as that of an honest and impartial man.
