NO FUNDS FOR Il SCHOOL.
MIL TaIley's Educational Institutio,
Man BE Closed for The Vinfer.


MILL VALLEY, CAL, Nov. 22.-Great
CONSERVATION has been created here on
account of bulletin given out by the
Trustees of the public school announcing
that it will be necessary to close the school
for period of three months because of a
lack of funds. The school has regular
attendance of about ninety, ana an effort
will be made on the part of the people here
to devise means to raise the money neces-
sary to keep the school open. Last year
this same thing occurred, and the school
was closed for over three months. Charles
Hughes, the principal, says that he would
be willing to continue his labors on a
greatly reduced salary if it would be pos
siole to keep the school open during the
winter. A number of citizens have come
forward and offered generous subscrip-
tions toward a fund for the relief of the
school, and it is not improbable that suf-
ticient will be raised to keep 1t open for a
month or two longer at any rate.

ASSAIL THE GRAND JURY.
accused Persons Seek to Have the Body
Declared Illegal.

Declared Illegal.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. pa very
determined effort will be made here to
knock out the present Grand Jury and
have it declared illegal. The body is doing
some very efficient work, SO it is thought.
1t is going to the bottom of the thievery,
corruption and extravaganza that has
characterized official life at the Court
house for some time, and disclosures that
made public are said to be astonishing.
The bosses want the Grand Jury to be
declared an illegal body, and then they
will be safe. This, it is said, will be the
defense of Frank Lowery. Upon the tech
nical ground that the Grand Jury was not
properly drawn, Lowery will seek to escape
from the allegation that he stole the PEG
pies money.

OF ECONOMICS
Stanford University Has Sc
cured a Man for DR.. War
ner'S Place.
RI. II. Powers, Now in Europe, the
Young Man Recommended by
Professor Warner.

Professor III. H. Powers of Smith College
was recently offered an independent pro-
fessorship in economics at Stanford Uni
versity, and he has just accepted the posi-
ton created for him.
AT Palo Alto little is known of Professor
Powers except that he was fellow in
economics at Johns Hopkins University,
and when, several years ago, Professor
Ely was called to the head OF the eco
nomics department at the University of
Wisconsin, Professor Powers went with
him and accepted position in his
department.
Professor Powers is a young man. He is
now spending his summer vacation in
Europe. AS soon as his whereabouts was
learned the offer was telegraphed to him
from Palo Alto, and he has wired his
acceptance.
The university is elated at having Sc
cured him, because he was the first man
DIR. Warner named as competent to fill his
own position, which he cannot yet resume.
DIR. Warner is the head of the economics
department at Stanford, and President
Jordan considers him the strongest man
in his line in the United States. Professor
Warner has been absent from the uni
verSlty since last winter, and IS now in
Colorado, refraining entirely from work.
His physician warned him to stop study
and classwork for time, as he was in
danger OF going into consumption, brought
on by too much application to work.
The Endorsement of DR.. Warner is con-
sidered sufficient recommendation for the
young. professor, otherwise comparatively
little known on this coast. DIR. Ross,
professor OF the economics department at
Stanford, was equally little known when,
only four years ago, he received his
doctors degree at Johns Hopkins, but
now, though he lacks year of being 80
years OF age, there is no college professor
on this coast better known for his educa-
tional work in and out of college.
1t has been the policy of Stanford
University to secure young men of
promise who are still students while they
are teachers, and who have not yet
arrived at that stage where they may feel
that they can rest upon their oars because
OF reputation already acquired elsewhere.

MAGDALEN ASYLUM.
Judge Slack Renders Decision as to
the Legality of Holding Female
Minors There.


A question involving the legality OF the
commitment of minor females to the
Magdalen Asylum was decided by Judge
Slack yesterday in the case of May Nc
Cam.
Attorney Writ applied for a writ OF
habeas corpus on August to the Superior
Court, and it was made returnable before
Judge Slack. The case was argued on
August 6 by Attorney Writ for the de-
PENDANT, and Assistant District Attorney
Hosmer for the people.
1t was argued for the defendant that she
should be discharged from the Magdalen
Asylum on four grounds: Flrst-Because
the complaint did not state facts sufficient
to constitute public offense and crime.
Second-The inferior court exceeded Its
jurisdiction. in rendering the particular
sentence therein. Thrd-The defendant
has served six months imprisonment, the
maximum term fixed by law. Fourth
The Sheriff was not the person allowed by
law to detain the defendant.
For the people it was argued that the
Magdalen Asylum as an industrial school
is City and County institution-in effect
a County Jail for minor offenders, and If
no superintendent has been appointed the
order of the board is not for that reason
rendered nullity, as the only reference
in the order to the law is to determine who
may be imprisoned there. 1ffrom economy

and Children.
Nathan C. Carnall, prominent in the
real estate business in this City, died at 3
o'clock yesterday at the Lenox Hotel,
Suffer street, of internal Inflammation.
He had been suffering for some months
past from complication of troubles, and
with the hope of finding some relief left
his former place of residence at 1907 Market
street, accompanied by his wife, for Shasta
about five weeks ago. He apparently failed
to find any amelioration in the change of
climate aud surroundings, and returned to
this City, taking up his residence at the
Lenox Hotel, although he has an elegant
home at Berkeley.
Deceased was a native of Missouri, and
for time sought to win fame and fortune
in Texas. He came to California about
twentythree years ago, and was best
known as the president of the now defunct
Carnall-Hopkins Company. He leaves a
widow and four children, the youngest
about 10 years of age.
