J. H.'N. Williams last evening at the Simpson Memorial Methodist Episco- pal- Church.- “During ‘the course of his remarks the eloquent pastor said: The death of Mrs. Jane L.

The suggestion is made in some quarters that those interested in the estate of Mrs. Stanford are having great influence in the management of the local inquiry on account of a pos- of sanity. Most rigid inquiries are being made regarding every detail of Mrs. Stan- ford’s life while here. The police con- tinue every effort to preserve secrecy concerning incidents connected with the case. Judge Stanley had another long con- ference to-day with Miss Berner, Mrs. Stanford’'s secretary. It is believed that unless there is very positive proof of poisoning the strongest efforts will be made to secure from the Coroner’s jury a verdict that death was due to natural causes. Judge Stanley, who is representing the Stanford - estate, and the Police Department are apparently working closely together. Judge Stanley has been present at most of the interviews with Miss Berner and Deputy Sheriff Rawlins. There are some indications that ef- forts will be made to continue secrecy and withhold the chemist’s report un- til ‘the steamer Alameda arrives from San Francisco with representatives of the Stanford estate and detectives. Though High Sheriff Henry has re- peatedly promised to give out the find- ings of the chemists when made, it is known that he has been in possession of them since last night. ss Berner is quite ill from the straln of constant examinations and the shock of Mrs. Stanford's death. —— e T Greek Ministers Re-elected.

He has been asked by the San Francisco police to observe:as much secrecy as possible, conse- quently the story that he had no faith in the poisoning theory gained credence. It is believed here that the High Sheriff is confident that the wealthy California woman was foully murdered, and that all miessages he has sent to the San Francisco police are to that effect. results of the chemists’ analyses are expected hourly time to the detectives who are seeking evidence in California.

Y, March 5.—Arfel of Mrs. Stanford's estate, does not be- | lieve his sister was poisoned. He stoutly defends the Chinese cook, Ah knows no employe of Mrs. Stanford’s would have harmed her. Incidentally, Ariel’ Lathrop and Albany people who were slightly intimate with Mrs. Stan- ford say she was a confirmed spiritual- ist. When Lathrop was told by a Call sister’'s will he expressed no surprise. The fact that he had received a be- quest did not seem so important as the report that Miss Bertha Berner had pointed to the Chinese servant as the one she suspected of having adminis- tered poison to her mistress. “Poor Ah Wing is as innocent of poisoning ‘Mrs. Stanford as a new born babe,” said Lathrop. No one thought more of her than that faithful Chinese servant. Poison her? Why, he would have laid down his life for her at any time. I do not believe Mrs. Stanford was poisoned,” was Lathrop’s positive declaration. “I know. of no one that could possi- bly gain through her death unless it was some servant, and dispatches show that the largest sum any servant re- ceived was $15,000 left to Miss Berner. I belieye the results of the investiza- tion will show that Mrs. Stanford was not poisoned. that the chemists are 8o slow in com- | ing to a conclusion in their investiza- | tions. thing back.” Mrs. Lathrop confirmed her | band’s report that Mrs. Stanford was a spiritualist, citing in support of that statement the fact that Mrs. Stanford had told Mrs. Henry E. Highton, who happened to be in Honolulu, that she had even thought at one time of hav- ing-a psychical department in Leland | Stanford University. - Mrs. Lathrop ['herself had experiences.in the line of spiritualism with Mrs. Stanford, but | thinks the subject one too delicate to discuss at this time. Friends of Mrs. Stanford’s living in this city tell most interesting - stories of her experience with spiritualism and say positively (that she was a confirmed believer in ‘that faith. They relate instances when Mrs. Stanford was living in New York City at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and the Astor House. At that time she re- ceived frequent calls from Mabel Lor, a medium, and also had many con- ferences with Rev. Mr. Newman and his wife. There was also a medium named Mrs. Stryker and a Miss Car- roll, who called regularly at Mrs. Stan- ford’s apartments. Mr. Stanford him- self attended these spiritualistic sel ances with his wife. Intimate friends of Mrs. Stanford's say that Miss Ber- ner is a medium. ] MRS. STANFORD LOYAL TO ELKS. Magnificent Gift to the Order Recalls Friendship of Years. The munificence shown by the late Mrs. Jane Stanford to charity in her will was generally commented upon by the public yesterday, but none of her gifts ‘caused more talk than the '$10,000 bequest to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of this city. Few probably knew of the deep inter- est the former gemerous mistress of the California street mansion took in ‘the affairs of the Elks, whom she always remembered each year by sending to their annual memorial ser- vices a handsome floral piece as a | token of her sincere sympathy with the charitable purposes of the order. Mrs. Stanford's interests in the Elks dated back many years, when her de- ceased brother, Harry Lathrop, was a prominent meniber of the order, in which he finally rose to the position of Exalted Ruler, After the death of 'Harry Lathrop she became a regular contributor to the order and no floral tribute to the departed was more con- spicuous on the platform at the me- morial services than the magnificent plece sent by her. Charles G. Lathrop is #ilso a member of the Elks, a fact which always seemed to please his sister, who often mentioned it to her friends. In the esteem of the mem- bers of the order no woman in Amer- ica stood higher than Mrs. Jane Stan- ford and no one will more deeply re- gret her sad ending than those who knew of her friendship for them and each vear received her floral contri- bution.

Charles Gardner Hovers 1 Between Life and Death IGNORANT OF FATE OF PHILANTHROPIST Physicians Refuse to Break the Sad News to Divine for Fear Terrible Shock Would Prove to Be Fatal PALO ALTO, March 5.—While this morning’s impressive service in honor of the memory of Mrs. Stanford was being conducted in the Memorial Church Chaplain Gardner, preacher to the university and favorite minister of Mrs. Stanford, was lying at his home in the campus, almost at death’s door with typhoid fever. His malady is so severe and his condition so se~ rious that his physicians deem it un- wise at this critical point of his ill- ness to break the news to him that his great friend and helper has left him forever. It is a sad fate that sickness has laid low the chaplain at this time. Mrs. Stanford often expressed the wish that if death should overtake her Rev. Mr. Gardner should be the one to pro- nounce the funeral service. Provi- dence had, however, decreed other- wise, and a stranger took the place the favorite young minister was to have filled at the solemn service tos day. Dr. Gardner came to America from England and took charge of the little Episcopal parish in Palo Alto. Mrs. Stanford, although not a member of this church, often attended its services and she guickly saw the ability of this Oxford graduate. When the Memo~ ria 1 Church was completed . three years ago and Dr. Heber Newton came from the East to take charge of the religious interests of the univer- sity Mrs. Stanford appointed Rev. Mr. Gardner as chaplain and assist- ant. Since Dr. Newton's departure he has assumed entire charge of the pastorate. is disclosed. Here is a great university. As I understand it, it is dedicated to the higher learning and the making of character. The founder of it believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Mrs. Stanford was a good woman. That is the best thing that can pe said of any ome. “There is no greatness .se:great as simple goodness. In speaking of Queen use his money that he can give his ac- count with joy and not with grief. THE REAL MONUMENT “It is- not alone the marble and the stone that make the monument—it Is the great life-giving influences that make it a monument and a memorial. It is this, this great life-giving influ- ence, that makes this splendid univer- sity what it is. It is this life-giving in- live a monument forever. “Millions and millions of people in this country logk upon the multi-mil- lonaire as a sort of highway robber | who gains his wealth and flaunts it with ostentatious pride before the peo- ple, as the result of having robbed it away from the earnings of the poorer classes and to the cost of the common people. Many of these people. I have no doubt, believe it is their passion and their creed to think that by the multi- millionaire they have been robbed. To- ward these millions of people it has caused unrest and distrust, and they look forward to the time when there shall be an ypheaval and a downfall of this class. If more of these so-called multi-millionaires had devoted their wealth in the manner in which the Stanfords did. to build up an educa- tional institution like this, which throws out nothing but goodness to maénkind and to the world, hatred and malice would be turned to thoughts of love. “Here is founded one of -the most fully equipped educational -institutions on the earth, where the child of the | humblest home may have the test advantages at the least cost; where the moral influences are in the highest de- gree wholesome and dominant; where many hundreds of the youth of the commonwealth are already gathered and many more hundreds are to bc' gathered in the future, A LIVING MEMORIAL. “This is a living memorial of Sena- | tor and Mrs. Stanford. It is hard to| believe that there is one man in this whole land who hated Mrs. Stanford. Who could look upon her with mean jealousy, still less with flendish hatred? ‘What had she ever done for the op- pression of the poor or.for the hurt of mankind? What flend from the pit would want to murder, or put her in distress? The very devil of the Puri- tans, it seems to me, would have Vietoria at her memorial service one of ‘the main points spoken of was that her departed Majesty was far greater as a woman, wife, mother, widow than as-a Queen. Mrs. Stanford was a queen, not a titular queen, of course, but a queenly woman, wife, mother and widow. The Stanford family have all faded out of this world; nothing visible is left of them but their tomb, their memory and the material structures they erected. This institution and the fountain they opened will not pass away. Here is an enduring monument and memorial. In the far future hun- dreds of young Americans will swarm through these massive structures, study in these classrooms, worship this church and go forth to help mankind, the product of the far-seeing benefl- cence of Semator and Mrs. Stanford, whose bodies, with that of their som, shall rest in peace and honor in yonder mausoleum, while their souls have gone to be forever with that God whom they honored and whom they served.” o —_——————— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE, ARRIVED.
