ROBBERS CACHE FOUND
ON STANFORD CAMPUS
Stolen Bicycles Hidden in the Tunnel
Leading Into Frenchman's
Lake

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. July "a
strange storage place for stolen bicycles
has been discovered on a remote corner
of the campus. About ten days ago two
bicycles were stolen from the residence
of Rev. J. w. Graybell in Palo Alto and
no trace of them could be discovered. This
week the two wheels were found by some
students secreted in the underground tun-
mel leading into Frenchman's Lake, back
of the university. They evidently had
been hidden there until they might be
safely disposed of.
The tunnel is a curious one, having been
built years ago by the old Frenchman,
Peter Coutts, to whom much of the pres
ent campus once belonged. The use Of
the tunnel has been the subject of spec
ulation. and whether it was for the pur-
pose OF developing water, or whether 1t
constituted an elaborate system of hiding
places for defense is not known. A Stan
ford student two years ago took up the
matter for independent research. but be-
yond locating one or two new caverns he
discovered nothing.
The present instance is the first known
where the tunnel has been used as rob-
bers' den.

Anniversary of the Birth of
Mr. Claus Spreckels

APTOS. July 9.-Claus Spreckels, who IS
spending his summer vacation at his coun-

birthday to-day. There was quite an as

intimate friends who had gathered TO eX-
tend good wishes for the future and con-
gratulations upon the successful rounding
of another milestone in life's pathway.
Mr. Spreckels' unimpaired vigor and ac-
tiyity were the cause of much comment
among those who visited Aptos in honor
of the occasion, and ii was a frequent re-
mark that he bore the weight of his three
score and eleven years more easily than
most of the business men of the present
day bear the half-century period in their
lives.

EARLY PLANS FOR
THE STATE FAIR
Board of Agriculture Is
Active.
MANY FEATURES IN SIGHT.
SACRAMENTO COUNTY LENDS
ITS SUPPORT.
Entries for the Harness and Running
Races Will Include the Best
Stock in the
West.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, July Appropriations
are under way for the forthcoming State
Fair season, and the clerical force of Pc
ter j. Shields, secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, is kept busy filtuG
and answering applications from intend
ing exhibitors in the several departments
of the annual exposition. The Sacramento
Chamber of Commerce has taken a hand
and has appointed a committee to Coop
crate with the agricultural directors in
providing attractive features for the lair.
Various days are to be set apart and
their observance made popular events at
both the race course and the pavilion.
The agricultural directors have met the
Chamber of Commerce committee in the
most cordial spirit, and they will without
doubt work IN perfect harmony 1or me
success of the exposition this year. Here
tOfore the local merchants have not taken
as much interest as they should In the
pavilion display but the belief Is general
that there will be further ground for
criticism against the business men of this
city, who appear resolved TO contribute
their full share toward improving the
pavilion features.
Had it not been for the loyal enthusiasm
of Mrs. E: NJ. Shields, a well known or,
chardist, the county of Sacramento would
have gone unrepresented at the pavilion
display of farm and orchard products last
year. This year, however, the Patrons Of
ty, have shown a desire to manage the
county display. Many members of Po-
mona Grange No. appeared before the
Board of Supervisors yesterday and ar
gued that its members should have the
control of the county exhibit. 1t was
shown that other oranges In the county
had met and passed resolutions favorable
to the application. In recognition of the
past services Of Mrs Shields, however,
the Board of Supervisors stipulated that
she should be the chairman Of the com
mittee of three which it would appoint.
the two others to be members of the
grange. Chairman Curtis then appointed
Mrs. Shields chairman of the county ex-
hibit committee and John A. Read and
Thomas Waite, both of Pomona Grange,
as the remaining members.
1t is the intention to have a Changers
day al the fair. and no doubt it will prove
a noteworthy event.
The State Fair will open on September
4 and continue to the 10Th. inclusive. On
Saturday next entries to the twelve $1,000
stakes and two $500 purses offered by the
Agricultural Society will close. 1t IS be-
lieved the list of entries will be larger
than that of any other association on the
coast. The entries In the nomination

named by August IS. The two $500 purses
are free-for-all stakes and will. it is be-
lieved. bring some of the fastest flyers on
