There the body was taken from erno | the hearse and laid in the main room the ives, Stanford mansion. The rela- friends and student representa- who had accompanied the re- om San Francisco passed in file through the room and looked s f gl | for a moment at the closed coffin. Then they passed out of the house and drove aw leaving the body of Mrs. Stan- ford in charge of Charles G. Lathrop, the dead woman. Stan- by procession to the but, accompanied son, she was driven di- »me in the foothills back ity. In her lap she car- Y of fresh tropical fruit, brought the way from Honoluiu. Mr. Wilson helped Miss Berner from the carriage and then hurried to catch the return train for San Francisco. There was no demonstration at the when the funeral train pulled lo Park depot. The crowds Alto, where, since were at iting for the arrival of the en at last the train stopped at Palo Alto the tired throng gazed disap- pointed at the empty coaches. EMPLOYES GATHER. At the Menlo Park station were gathered about fifty persons. Many of these were the old employes of the stock farm, who had been told the body would be removed. As there the car the company stood with bowed ir hats clutched in their , many of them with tears run- down thelr wrinkled cheeks. difficulty was experienced in raising the coffin into the hearse, and when these hardy employes saw the trouble they stepped forward with one accord the bler, each man anxious to do some little service for his dead mistress. The servant who took the death of Mrs. Stanford most to heart was Charley Wooster, the aged coachman. For forty years he has been in the Stanford service, coming out from New York with them in the early days. He sat on the box of the same car- riage in which he had driven his mis- tress to the station on the fatal day that ghe salled for Hawall. The old @river was weeping when the ‘train came in, and although he tried his best to hide his emotion, when the coffin lifted into the hearse his large frame shook with sobbing. He would | not drive the hearse, but he followed | close behind with the carriage of Mr. and Mrs, Lathrop. Detective Gibson was the first man train at Menlo Park. He was on the steps be- fore the cars stopped, and he hurried forward to the baggage car, where Close be- hind him was Detective Collundan, These two stood beside the coffin as it was taken from the train. Presi- dent David Starr Jordan and Timothy Hopkins came next, both looking tired and worn. ' Then followeq the funeral escort, composed of representatives from the faculty, alumni and students of the university. MISS BERNER ARRIVES. A flutter of excitement passed through the small crowd at the depot when Miss Bertha Berner stepped from the train. The little secretary was dressed in black and heavily veiled. She did not stop to look at the bier nor at the people gathered about her, but, supported by her brother, who had met her at the lapding of the boat, and by Mountford Wilson, she walked quickly to a waiting carriage and was driven direct to her home at Alta Vieta. The last persons to leave the funeral train were Mr. Lathrop, Mrs. Lathrop and Miss Jennie Lathrop. Both of the ladies were heavily vefled. Mr. Lath- op showed on his careworn face the n that the pest weeks of work and -vorry have brought to him.

The Board of Education has direct- ed that the flags on all school build- ings in the city shall be at half-mast on Friday, the day the funeral services will be held at Palo Alto. This tribute in honor of Mrs. Stanford’s memory is actuated by appreciation of the im- portant part she has taken in Califor- nia’s formative history, particularly as a factor in educational upbuilding. B SETES Schools to Show Respect. VALLEJO, March 21.—The Vallejo Board of Education has issued orders to the principals of the several public schools in this city to display the American flag on the school buildings at half-mast on Friday, the day of Mrs, Stanford’s funeral. It is likely that eulogies of the deceased will be a part of the exercises of the day. - NARROW ESCAPE OF EAST TRAIN BAKERSFIELD, March 21.—News of the averting of what might have been an appalling railroad catastrophe two miles east of Mojave on the Santa Fe last night reached this city this even- ing.

Miss Ber- ner, who is a delicate, refined little woman, and had borne the frightful strain of the last three weeks with re- markable composure, at the sight of her brother was hardly able to restrain herself. For three weeks, since the death of her patron and friend, she has been alone in a foreign land among strangers and without one friend to whom she could turn for comfort and relief. The death of the one she has been in constant company with for e ) rible blow to her, even if that death were caused by natural causes. however, the causes were found bv the Coroner’s jury to have been from pois- oning and that suspicion naturally must fall on those in and about Mrs. Stanford’s household, her anguish was extreme. All this agony and suspense she suffered among strangers, and it was only natural that she should give way when she was once again repos- ing in the strong arms of her brother Robert. Sister and brother retired to a quiet part of the dining-hall, but it was several minutes before they spoke. Miss Berner’s first inquiries were for her aged mother, after whick she lapsed into silence and quietly waited for the time to come when Mrs. Stan- ford’'s body should be removed from the vessel and she should take the train bound for her home at Palo Alto. Miss Berner, like the others interest- ed in the case from Honolulu, was close-mouthed. She had nothing to say upon the subject. Timothy Hop- kins, however, immaculate in tall silk hat and long black coat, said he would speak for Miss Berner. He announced this fact as he came up on deck from the hold, where he had been superin- remains of Mrs. Stanford taken on shore. He said it was hot in the hold and climbing the stairs had put him out of breath. In relation to Miss Berner he said: “You can say this from me for Miss Berner if you like. | She has told everything she knew about the incidents appertaining to the death of Mrs. Stanford. She told all this to the Coroner’'s jury in Honolulu. She has nothing to hide and she has hid nothing. Her statement to you now is the same as she made before the jury, and the public has been apprised of this through the press. She went into the matter there fully and com- pletely. She answered every question put to her and she threw every pos- sible light upon the subject. We have told her not to talk, but there is noth- ing more for her to talk about. If she should ever be called upon to say any- thing more here in this case she can only repeat what she has already i glven out.” St L A TESTIMONTAL FROM MILLS, Young Women Students and Faculty Feel Keenly the Loss. | At a meeting of the faculty and stu- dents of Mills College the following ! resolutions were adopted: | _ Whereas, in the providence of God.

REDDING, March 21.—The citi- zens of the smelter town of Kennet were greatly excited last night. Light~ ning put the lights out and the town was in total darkness. The trouble was added to by a band of hoboes that threatened to make a disturb- ance. It is thought the hoboes cut lthe wires in order to commit crime under the cover of darkness. The |tramps were driven from town, this morning. ———— SPECIAL TRAIN ACCOMMODATIONS San Francisco to Palo Alto Account Funeral Services Late Mrs. Jane L. Stanford.
