Deemed NeceSsnrX


STAMFORD University, Cal, Feb. "a
DR.. David Starr Jordan president of Le-
land Stanford Jr., university, discussing
the report of the committee of economics
on the dismissal of Prof Ross from the
university, said:
THE statement of Profs Seigman,
Farnum and Gardiner, is not as might
be inferred from the newspapers, the re-
port of an authorized committee of the
American economic association. If we
are correctly Informed. this body declined
to appoint a committee of investigation
These three gentlemen from a self-con,
Stituted committee represent only mi
nority of this association.
1.-The facts at their disposal were none
other than those already made public by
Prof Ross and his friends and the atti-
tude they hold in regard to these mat
tiers is evidently that of partisans.
at may be regretted that they did NOT
sec fit to publish the letters which they
obtained from the president and the com
nittee. at Stanford. The following is the
statement sent by the president and
states the chiefest facts in the whole af.
fair:

STIRRING Up CUBA.
HOT TALK INDUCED IN AT INDIE
PENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION.

HAVANA, Feb. 24LIndependence day
was celebrated with professions, mass
meetings and general demonstrations of
rejoicing. This morning there was a
parade of 10000 school children bearing
Cuban flags They were reviewed by
prominent politicians. Gen. and Mrs.
Wood were showered with flowers by the
children as they passed.
The Republican party held a meeting
in the Tacon theater. Senior Capote, who
presided, said there was never more
need than now to be quiet. The United
States was the only country that had
helped Cuba in her time of trouble and
he did not believe that the Washington
government was now deceiving the Gu
bans. The work Of intervention was
long and difficult, but. in his opinion,
everything would be settled satisfactorily
to the people Of the island.
Senior Zayas gave q revolutionary tone
to his remarks by asserting that the
present Cuban leaders should initiate
the martyrs of the past. He declared
that the trick which the Americans
have been playing upon the Cubans is
the cause for the non-development Of the
island"
He predicted that the end of all would
be dissatisfa ction, adding that indie
pendence could only be attained by the
machetes of liberators.
Cuba" he exclaimed, should be pre-
served for the glories Yof the Latin race"
Senior Juan Gaulbe1,to Gomez arraign-
ed the advocates of annexation as trait
ors to. the cause of Cuba He said he
had more faith in independence now
than he had had in 1895, and the United
States could not rob Cuba Of independ-
ence unless by force of 100000 men.
Speaking of the future relations be-
tween Cuba and the United States, he
said that this matter was only a mere
incident; that all the important prin-
ciples were embodied in the constitution
and, in spite Of evidences to the con-
trary, he believed everything would be
settled in conformity with Cuba's de-
mand for independence in the near fu-
ture.
At the meeting of the National party
the speakers were SENIOR Bravo, Senior
Lacrete and Senior Alfredo Zayas, the
last named opposing the proposal to
grant the United States naval stations In

judgment as to the position of the uni


Versity.
ut will be necessary for you to assume
my knowledge of all the facts. also the
Interpretation herewith presented is au-
thcritative from the university stand
point.
'First-Prof. Ross was not dismissed
on account of his views on Oriental i'm
migration, nor on any of his opinions on
any economic question.
'Second-PrOf. Ross was dismissed
because, in the judgment of the univer-
s:ty authorities, he was not the proper
man for the place he held The re-
sronsibility for the correctness of this
judgment belongs to the university :au-
thCrities, and to them alone.
II hird.-No ground exists for any in
depreciation of his dismissal resting upon
his private character, of which your let
ter seems to imply fear.
'Fourth-The Judgment that Prof.
Ross was not the proper man for the
place he held is not incompat ible with
my appreciation of many good qualities
he possesses, nor with my wishes or ef-
forts at any time to further his pros
poets. / have been neither ignorant of
his professional shortcomings, nor inap
preciative of his good qualities. OF sn5h
appreciation. Prof. Ross has himself re.
ceived several expressions from my let
tiers.
Tn the hope that YOU may find in the
above substantial answer to the oueso
lions involved IN your inquiry I remain
Very truly yours.

THOSE GROVE REPORTS.
Chief Donahue's Denial Bulletin An.
pears Every Day.

OMAHA, Net., Feb. 24-Chief of Police
Donahue tonight said that if Pat Grove
was hiding on Bellevue island. the police
had no knowledge of it, and that he
very much doubted If it were true. He
knew that Grove had been at Bellevue
where he has relatives, a week prior to
the abduction of young Cudahy. but he
did not think he has been there since that
time.
The story that Grove had been traced
to Bellevue island and was being watched
there, probably originated from the fact
that he has a brother-in-law living in
the vicinity and that the island has been
the scene of a number of captures Of
counterfeiters and other criminals. tor
which it affords an inaccessible hiding
place.
