DR.. and Mrs. Jordan in
Serious Runaway
Accident.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. a.
President and Mrs. David Starr Jordan
had a marvellous escape from serious, If
not fatal, injury in a runaway accident
yesterday afternoon.
President. Jordan had just received q
span of trotting horses from San Fran
cisco and started in his carriage with
Mrs. Jordan to try their mettle. While
driving through the foothills west of the
university DR.. Jordan noticed several
stray horses coming at full speed down
the road. He stopped his team, got out
of the carriage and held his horses by
their brides.
The horses, however, became frighten-
ed, reared up and threw President Jordan
headlong into a ditch by the roadside
They then tore over the bank and into a
fence, the impetus of the collision throw
ing Mrs. Jordan from the carriage, which
was completely wrecked.
Both President and Mrs. Jordan es-
capped with slight cuts and bruises.

Mackay Says No Other
Terminus Is Under
Consideration.
Expects to Handle Messages
From Mainland to Hawaii
Next Autumn.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27.-John w.
Mackay, president of the Postal Tele-
graph and Gable Company, is here for a
weeks rest and recreation. In Mr.. Mac
kay's party are his private secretary, R.
V. Dey, and his attorney, w. S. Wood, of
San Francisco. Coast Manager L. w.
Storrer of the Postal met the party on
the arrival of the Owl from San Fran
cisco.
81 am not here for the purpose of seek
ing terminus for the proposed cable, -
said Mr.. Mackay. 1--WE have already
chosen San Francisco for the terminal.
No other place has been seriously consid-
cred. We expect to get the bulk of our
business from the northern city and the
saving in distance in locating the termi-
nus in Southern California would be more
than counterbalanced by the overland
tolls to San Francisco.
The work of laying the first section of
the cable from California to Honolulu will
be started as soon as the cable can be
finished and shipped to the two starting
points of the section. This ought to take
about seventy-five days, and Geographic
communication with Hawaii may conf
IDENTIFY be looked for by early fall
Mr.. Mackay added that the United
States Government would have no pro-
prietary interest in the Trans-Pacific ca
BILE. In times of war the cable would be
turned over to the State, War and Navy
departments for Government business.
and Government messages would always
have precedence over all others.
