Washington, Nov. 1s.-At the cabinet

It has been known for some time that

dents cabinet, but the presidents ur-
gent request for all the members to re-
tain their portfolios, made at the meet
ing week ago, was thought to have
changed his mind on the subject. His

TALE OF cANNIBAL1sM.
0chooner Mascot Brings strange
story From south sea.

ochooner Mascot Brings strange
story From south sea.
San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 16.-The
schooner Mascot, which has arrived
here from the South sea, brings tales of
cannibalism and the massacre OF blacks
on the Savange islands. For the past
two years the Mascot has been trading
between the Solomon Islands. New Gui-i
nea and New Ireland. Its deck rails
and sails bear the. marks Of cannibal
spears and bullets.
The schooner arrived at Kemall. in
the Admiralty group. just after the
murder Of Herman Matzke. the trading
agent there. This was on Aug. 90. Capt.
Macco and boats crew went ashore
and found the Copra house had been
looted and the traders home was a
wreck. In the yard Of the latter big
pot was sttll sisxlinE. over the dying
smbers 81 q ffe and IN the pot were
found some OF the bones of the trader.
s The cannibals had not gone far. They
had found the agents house guns and
with these they suddenly appeared and
opened fire on Capt. Macco and his
crew. A hasty retreat was made to the
schooner. The bullets from the island
ers riddled the rails and the foresail.
Capt. Macco brought into play a small
gun, and its noise, more than effectiive-
ness, scared the cannibals off. The
Mascot, which is an auxiliary schooner,
steamed to kusia. In the Carolines, and
notified the officers Of the German sloop-
of-war of the murder.
Both the schooner and warship re-
turned to Komali, ard the native vil-
layers were shelled, Eighty villages
were destroyed by fire, sixteen natives
were killed and twenty were taken pris-
oners.
In June the Mascot put into Matey
island, in the Solomon group, and two
traders went ashore with the cargo. A
great crowd OF natives, scenting a big
feast made for them and filled the all

CALL ROSS MARTYR.
students at stanford Angry at En-
forced Resignation of a Professor.

forced Resignation OF q Professor.
San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 16.-Stan-
ford University continues to be highly
excited over the enforced resignation
of Professor Edward Ross, head OF the.
department Of sociology. The students
and the majority Of the professors re-
gard the Ross resignation as direct
blow to freedom of thought and speech
at the university and they don't hesi-
rate to say so frankly. One Of the
things which has attracted students te
Stanford was its entire freedom from.
all sectarian and conventional re-
straint. Perfect freedom was allowed
in the choice Of studies and the profess
sors have always felt at liberty TO ex-
press their views fully and fairly.
Professor George E. Howard, head OF
the department Of history, in place of
his usual lecture on the French rsvolu-
ton, yesterday devoted the hour to the
discussion OF Ross, resignation and its
meaning. He declared that the forcing
out of Professor Ross was blow at the
fundamental right Of free speech and 6
disgrace from which the university
would never recover.
He said further:
The greatest martyr to any cause Is
the man who surrenders his position
because of his belief. It Is far better
for DR.. Ross to go out into the world
without single thing to do and tc
trust to his own brilliant mind to fur
ther his aims. than to remain here. with
his power of speech abridged and his
science for himself alone and not for
the world
President Jordan said:
In regard to the resignation Of DR..
Ross. 1t is right that should make q
further statement. There q not the
slightest evidence that ne is q martyr
Ito the freedom Of speech. Nor Is there
any reason to believe that his with
drawal has been due to any pressure OF
capital or any other sinister influence.

driving in an open carriage to the Curl

mediately arrested.
The woman's name is Selma Schnapke.
She occupied a place in the front rank Of
spectators. on the side furtherest from
