He issued orders today to Public Printer Stillings that hereafter all messages from the | President and all other documents em- anating from the White House must be printed in accordance with the recom- mendations of the spelling reform com- mittee headed by Brander Matthews, prefessor of English at Columbia Uni- versity. This committee has published a list of 100 words in whi¢h the spell- ing reformed. This list contains such words as “thru” and “tho” as the spelling for “through” and “though.” The President's official sanction of this reform movement is regarded as the most effective and speediest method of inaugurating the system of spelling throughout the country. Not ogly will the printed documents em- is new arating from the President’s office util- | ize the reform spelling, but his corre- spcncdence also will be spelled in the LOEB SENDS FOR LIST. Secretary Loeb has sent for the list of 300 words which have been reformed, and upodl its arrival will immediately order all correspondence of the Pres- White House spelled' in accordance therewith. As the spelling reforin com- wittee adopts new reforms these will| be addea to the President’s list, and | alsc that of the Public Printer. While the order to the Public Printer does not contemplate an immediate re- fcrm in the spelling of official docu- ments from the executive departments in. Washington, it i{s regarded as more than likely that the respective heads| of the departments will fall in line| with the President’s ideas and have| their official documénts printed in the| new spelling.

LILLIAN MAY SCHILLER, whose recent divorce case at- | tracted so much atention in club and social circles, has been requested to resign from the California Women's Club! As yet she has not re- sponded. Unless she complies with the request soon, very soonm, some of the ladies say, her name will be stricken | from the club rolls without further parley. The ladies want to *“let Mrs. | Schiller down easy.” but will not let | their tender hearts stand in the way | of drastic steps in the event that the | fair divorcee does not take advantage | of their willingness to be “nice” to her. “MANFUL” SUPPORT. During all the recent divorce pro- ceedings in which the husband, Otto F. Schiller, ecame out triumphant Mrs. chiller ~had the tacit support of the club. The ladies stuck by her “man- fully,” despite the position in which | they were placed by the torrid testi- mony offered. With the end of the case came the end of their courage. Mrs. | 3. W. Orr, the president of the club, in speaking of the case, sald: “I am very sorry that we had to ask Mrs. Schiller to resign from the club. I think she should have accepted the vorce procesdings and sent in her res- ignation, without befhg réquested to do so. We did not take any‘lc ion during the pm..qu,& We Squirms ce .wy umc the club’s name was mentioned In connec- tion with the case. We did not take any action during the trial for fear that it might prejudice the case. When the case was decided we felt that we must take action. WAIT FOR RESIGNATION. “We waited for some time, hoping Mrs. Schiller would retire from the club. As she did not do so I wrote her a very- gentle, kind note, stating to her that for the best interests of the club I thought it best for her to send 'n her resignation. I did everything T could to spare her humiliation. U i0 the present Mrs. Schiller has taken GAMBLERS BARRED FROM THE FAIR. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 24—The State Fair opens tomorrow afternoon with several interesting events and will con- tinue all next week, thle directors of the State Board of Agriculture having cut out running races altogether. Under the terms of the appropriation by which the Legislature has wiped out the debt which for years has hung over the Agricultural Society there can be no liquor selling or pool selling on the racetrack grounds and this prohibition will be strictly enforced by the direc- tors, even to the extent of refusing re- turn checks to those who leave the grounds to bet on the outside. Much interest attaches to the fair to open tomorrow, for it will demonstrate to a certainty whether a State exposition can be successful with the gambling feature eliminated. Director Charles W. Paine, superin- tendent of the park, has placed the track in fine condition. He has been busy all week superintending the erec- tion of a livestock pavilion where the premium horses and cattle will be shown and judged. Director Paine is confident the livestock division will be the best displayed in many years. Among those who will show herds of premium cattle are Major General W. R. Shafter, Superifor Judge Carroll Cook of San Francisco, the Howard estate of San Mateo, J. H. Glide ot Sac- ramento, P. H. Murphy of Perkins, Thomas Walte of Perkins, Glide vroth- ers of Sacramento, E. Clemens Horst of Sacramento, E. P. Eckdl of Wood- land and R. W. Ashburner. All of these exhibitors will show large herds, and there will be many others show- ing small but select herds. —_— Sue the United Rallroads.

Hastings, lpl'ipder of the Hastings College of Law, was one of the reigning beautles of a score of years ago, died in London yesterday morning. Her death puts an end to the contest she had Instituted against the will of her mother, who left the bulk of her estate to' the two children of Mrs. Daniel, Harry and Elizabeth Hastings. The children were with ’their mother in London. As Miss Coghlll the deceased was a leader In San Francisco's soclal life, a position she maintained after her marriage to Robert P. Hastings. Two children were born to the couple, and then the husband dled. The widow came in for a substantial fortune and the children now hold a half interest in the $1,500,000 trust estate of Judge Hastings. In her widowhood :Ilr.l. Hastings went to England and there met and in 1892 married James White- man Daniel, who was a man of a good family. The marriage was not looked upon with favor by the bride’s mother, and in her will she carefully made restric- tions to prevent the pair from getting her wealth, which she left in trust for the Brandchildren. The estate was put in trust with Willlam . Hoefler as trustee. Dr. Heamphill was nomi- nated guardlan of the children and Willlam Giselman was named as ex- ecutor. After the death of Mrs. Hemphill, which occurred recently, no will could be found, although it was known that she had prepared her testament. An attorney’s copy ot the will was filed in- stead and a contest had been begun against this substituted document when the real will was found and en- tered for probate. The contest against the estate |l still pending in Judge- Coftey’'s depart- ment of the Superior Court. —_— Missour! Linemen Strike.

General Greely in his report regarding his ex- periences in San Francisco during the earthquake, sald: “It developed many instances to show that a dual command is not the most efficient.” This is regarded as a criticlsm of General Funston, who was in command at San Francisco immediately after the earthquake. General Greely, who was in command of the Department of the Pacific, was on his way East to attend the wedding of his daughter, and be- fore he returned to San Francisco Gen- eral Funston had earned all the glory.

Southem Pacific to Abandon Shasta Route to Oregon. Will Carry Passengers to . Portland Via : Klamath Fa]ls. Buys Lumber Road in Order to Make New Connections.: HE Southern Pacific has decided to abandon its through passen- ger and freight service to Port- land om the Hne extending | from Weed, Cal, to Natron,” Or. oyer | the steep grades of the Siskiyow moud- | tains. It comsummated the purchase yesterday of the California Northeast- | ern Railway, = forty-mile line extend- iing north of Weed with a right of way through to Klamath Falls. The Har- Timan engineers will rush this lumber line to’completion and connect it &t Klamath Falls with the Oregon and Eastern railway, now being built from Natron, south. With the joining of these two lines all through traffie from San Francisco’ and poi south of Weed will be carried to Portland and the north via Klamath Falls, although the present Mount Shasta line will be maintained for local service. The Southern Pacific purchased the California Northeastern for the pur- | pose of securing the line with which to tap the richly developing Klamath country and 4t the same time get a route which will avold the steep grades of the Siskivous. The pertion of the present line between Weed and ¥Natron has been improved in recent years at a cost of milliens of dollars, but even with this expenditure it Is still the costliest division for the South- ern Pacific to maintain. . Three engines are used on every train in making the grades and often four and five are re- quired. The Klamath route, which will take | the place of the present line, will give ‘me Southern Pacific an easy grade and m;ht curves over the mountains. The m to be crossed are just as h* ‘as those on the Mount Shasta division, but the slopes are moré gradual Extra | engine service will probably not be | required and the cost of carrying freight and passengers will be reduced one-half. The new line will be nearly 100 miles longer than the present route, but the running time will be lesséned because of the milder grades. The Southern Pacmc expects to have the Klamath routé ready within two years at the | outside Jimit. The lumber road whs buflt ten vears | & e ‘eed Lumber Company. ‘mu )ear it was sold to the California }.\’orthentern.

Aug. 24.—President Roosevelt's attitude regarding his suc- cessor was discuased today by a man who is in a position to speak by the card. “You can put it down as a certain- ty,” he declared “that the President will not seek a renomination in 1908. What he will do in 1912 is another qQuestion. Meanwhile Speaker Cannon need not bank too heavily on the sup- port of the President, despite the ap- parent boom and announcement, ‘You will be our next President, Mr. Speak- er.’ “Secretary Taft is the President's real choice as his successor In the ‘White House, and with a view to dis- posing of the third term bugaboo it is the purpose of the President to do all in his power to promote the interests of Secretary Taft and Insure the car- rying out of policies already outlined.” A.
