THE HALF MILLION CLUB.

A Peculiar state of affairs exists at

Million Club has been formed, osten-
sibly for the purpose Of booming CAL

this famed clu3 has done is to benefit

lion Of money expended by other peo-
pie who have fed them with big din

in return.
In the meantime the State of Cali
fornia has experienced an insurance
war, which, while it is a good thing
for the people who want cheap insur-
ance. has all but ruined half a dozen
companies On top of this the San

surance companies and they have
declared that they can't stand the

INTERVIEW WITH A BURGLAR.

Made Proposition to Divide the
SDoHs with Him.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 12.-James r.
Boyd of Rossland, Wash, speaking of the
interview he had in the Spokane jail with
w. B. Witherow, burglar, said: "Withe-
row said his chances for going over the
road were good unless he could get out.
He wanted me TO aid him to escape, and
said that if I would do so he would make
1t an object for me. He said that he had
cached in a sack in certain locality near
Hope sum of from $4,000 to $4,000 in
cash, the proceeds of train robbery. He
said that if | would furnish him with the
means to escape and divide the money
with him he would give me the secret of
his hidden treasure. l told him that
would consider his proposal and let him
know that evening. He said that when
returned. if I had concluded to be his
friend. he would furnish me with a map
showing the exact spot where the treasure
was located. Now, l am an honest man,
and ingratiated myself in this mans con-
tidence only to recover this money for the
rightful owners"
Boyd took the map to several of the Off
cials, who examined it closely, with the
result that they became convinced that
Witherow, if he was lying about the treas
ure being hidden at the point designated,
was certainly very familiar with that part
of the country. as his description was
recognized as being perfect.

Lawton and Stevens Said to Be
Probable Aspirants for
the Place.
TOM FOX STANDS a CHANCE.
He Would Draw the Support of the
Leading Democrats if He En-.
tered the Race.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec. 12.-Sacra-
mento Democratic political circles have
been stirred to their depths by the pub
lished statement of the probable resigna-
ton OF Postmaster Leake, to accept
position under A. B. Spreckels. as man
ager OF his extensive business interests,
and in ali quarters the question is being
asked, Who will be able to capture the
plum? While there are numerous aspir-
ants, many of whom are already engaged
in wire pulling, there can be no certainty
as to who will become Leake's successor.
w. D. Lawton, who ran for Mayor on
the Democratic ticket at the late city elec-
ton, has aspirations for the position, and
could probably gather considerable in
fluence in his behalf among the ranks of
his party. There is also a strong Ikell-
hood that r. D. Stevens may take place
in the race, although IL is not thought
that he could or would receive any po-
litical aid from Leake, who is conceded by
all to be the strongest and shrewdest po-
litical wire manipulator in this city.
Knowing this there are many politicians
who have no hesitancy in saying that
Ed Tade, deputy postmaster, would have
good fighting chance for the position,
should Mr.. Leake espouse his cause.
But without doubt, should his friends
succeed in persuading him TO compete, the
most popular aspirant for the position
would be Tom Fox, who has been promin-
emily identified with Democratic politics for
years, and has always been foremost in pro-
noting his party's interests. Should he
l.
the backing of the county and city CEN
tral committees, and can bring TO bear the
weight of nearly the entire Democratic
faction in this city. His high standing in
the order of Native Sons will assuredly be
no detriment to him, and it is said that he
would experience but little difficulty in
obtaining the good will of the executive,
owing to the prominent part he took in
managing his interests III this city during
the late campaign.

ing up resolutions and preparing some
plan to forever eradicate cheating among

ing up resolutions and preparing some
plan to forever eradicate cheating among
students.
The resolutions were read by Cathcart
'96, and he began the support of the resolu-
tions. A dozen students, one side or the
other, argued with zeal unusual in the
quiet student body meetings. The special
committees proposition met with one OBJ
lection, which threatened to ruin the
whole plan; that objection was to the
clause providing that the name of any one
informing on a student who cheated
would be kept secret.
All the opposition centered on the cow
ardice of one who. might inform without
being known and forcing an accused stu
dent to clear himself without knowing
who made the complaint. The plan was
SO amended as to make it obligatory on
the committee to make public the name of
the informant, and motion also prevailed
that thereafter it be the sense of the stu
dent body that he who informs the COM
mittee of any specific case of cheating
shall be approved by the student body"
With this amendment the resolutions
and plan passed, and in their final form
were as follows:
WHEREAS, The absence OF dlstrustful esplon-
age and the existence of cordial relations OF
personal friendship between professors and
students to degree almost unprecedented in
educational history have heretofore formed
one of the most attractive features of Stanford
University life; and whereas, the continuance
of this invaluable spirit here is greatly jeopar-
dized by the indifference which we, as student
body have displayed toWard "a irequent viola,
such rela- tionship can be maintained; be it
Resolued, That as student body we do regret
our past apparent indifference toward cases OF
dishonesty in examination, which has largely
caused the increase OF such cases, and do
hereby express determination that from this
time forth, such dishonesty shall cease among
u.s. that to this end we Will use our pu bile and
private influence to prevent further violation
OF good faith.
