SAN DIEGO, Dec. Sword has been
received by the police of this city that
the Los Angeles authorities are inclined
to the belief that fugitive Fleishman had
passed through this city on his way to

officers have no part, because FIeishman

Lower California, the avenues to civil

easily watched. No trace of him has
been found here and inquiry at the Mex

W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Members of
the Senate and House interested in the
American merchant marine are much
pleased with the Frye ship subsidy bill.
Friends of the bill assert that it meets

votes of those Senators who favor legis-
lation to advance American shipping, but
who could not bring themselves to vote
for former bills. 1t is admitted on all

therein set forth by virtue of the
authority In me vested as president

Stanford University, and also as
member of the board of trustees for my

900 worth of property, thereby making it
one of the richest seats of learning in the
United States, and adding another stone
to the arch of fame which for years has
been in course of erection in honor of the
young man after whom the great uni
versity was named.
There were but few present when the
transaction took place, but the scene will
live long in the memory of the witnesses.
The wishes of her dead husband have
guided Mrs. Stanford in her every act
since his death, and she knows that it was
his aim to make the great institution,
which he founded during his life and to
which he gave the name of his only son,
monument which would stand forever.
She has carried out his wishes to the very

efforts other than the knowledge that she

Every Gift Is LOCALIZED.
The documents turned over to President
Leib yesterday have legalized every gift

given to the university including the uni

the fact that local banks have fire..
duently been obliged to borrow con
siderable sums In the East, while this
year he believed they had been able

the sale of large blocks of securities

ter of fact, the situation had strength

securities had been announced. He
also expressed the opinion that II was
more preferable to have this money

"PRESIDE."
The Word Is Often In
correctly Used,
But There Are Reasons For Not
Being Too Critical.

In a recent announcement of Tues
day Musical club concert, the express
sion, "Prof. Andrews will preside at
the Organ" was used and the same
expression was used by the Democrat
In writing of the concert. An enthus-
iastic but critical friend of the Demo
crat criticised the use of the word
preside" in this manner and wrote to
the magazine Correct English for the
opinion Of its editor upon the subject.
The latter, Josephine Turck Baker, re-
replied:
The definition of preside, hardly ad-
mits of its use in the sentence to
which you refer. Thus, preside as
recorded in Century and Standard
means,-to be set over others; have the
place of authority as chairman or d.
rector; direct and control as chief Of
ficer. usually denoting temporary su-
perintendence and direction: as to pre-
side over a society; to preside at a
public meeting. TO exercise superin-
tendence and direction, having guild
ing and controlling influence as, the
fates preside over mans destiny. The
verb play properly expresses the
meaning, but as this Is suggestive oi
Johnny Morgan and his organ, the
verb preside has been pressed into ser
vice; and in as much as 1t is generally
employed, 1t should hardly be censured
However, as have indicated, the def
milton does not seem to admit of thi
use of preside, consequently it canno
be regarded as strictly correct usage

His Opinion as to the Attitude Of North

His Opinion rs to the Attitude of North
ern and Southern White Men.
New York, April 28.-The Rev.
DR.. Charles II. Parkhurst preached
today at the Madison Square Presby-
terrain church, on topics come cted
with his recent trip South. he said the
conference held at WinstOn-Salem,
in North Carolina, was characterized
by the utmost frankness on both
sides, and yet from first to last, not
an embittering word was spoken.
Referring to the estimation in
which the people Of the South and
those of the North hold the negro,
DIR. Parkhurst said: "The South
erner does not like the negro any
better than the average Northerner
does, but the two carry themselves
toward the negro with just about
the same amount of Christian con-
siderstion-only of the two, the
Southern white man has perhaps
this advantage, that he does not
make quite so flamboyant pretense
of loving the negro as his Northern
brother does. The Southern white
man dislikes the negro, and owns
up to it. The white man in the
North dislikes the negro and lies
about it,"
