MRS. sTANFoRD's DEFENCE.
Revives the Old University Row Over
the Dismissal Of Prof. Ross.

San Francisco, July 29.-Mrs. Jane La
throp Stanford, one of the founders and
chairman of the Board of Trustees Of
Stanford University, has made public an
address which she delivered last April
before the trustees, giving the facts and
all the correspondence III regard to the
forced resignation of Prof. Edward A.
Ross. This removal of Ross resented by
others in the faculty, and over Il dozen
professors and tutors resigned, the most
prominent of whom was DR.. Howard,
head of the history department. Mrs.
Stanford published this address to set
herself right with the public, which
blamed her for deposing Ross.
The correspondence printed shows
clearly that she disapproved of Ross be-
fore President Jordan appointed him, but
was influenced by DIR. Jordan to take a
better view. Ross offence. in her mind,
was political partlsanship, and she espec-
tally resented his addresses at several
meetings lere. Then she insisted upon
his discharge Aut gave DR.. Jordan full
power to name the time. The letters
from Dr. Jordan to her are very bitter
against Ross. whom the President calls
dime novel william and boy without
conscience" He cabled to Mrs. Stanford
to use parts of her letters to justify his
course in discharging Ross, but she re-
fused, leaving him to bear the burden.
Friends of Stanford University can't
understand what led Mrs. Stanford to
publish this address, as it will simply
revive the old wounds that have healed
and been half forgotten.

KINGS HEALTH IN WATER.
Edward VII Deports from Tradition
Demanding Wine.

London. July 29-King Edward has
given the temperance advocates great
cause for rejoici: 2. He has officially de-
clared that his health may be drunk in
water as we'll as in wine. Information
to this effect was conveyed in the follow
ing reply from Sir Francis Knolys to a
naval officer last week.
His Majesty will be glad if it is cir
culated privately that he considers chat
his health is as much honored by those
who drink it in water as those who
drink it in wine.
In referring to this occasion Arch
deacon Sinclair said
THE Kings happy statement will be
quoted in the temperance organs through
out the land. Especially will it do good
in army and navy CIRCLES where there
has been kind of feeling that the Kings
health must be drunk in wine.
His Majesty is always so thoughtful
and his wise and judicious decision will
at once remove any feeling of reproach
that some of his subjects may have had
when honoring the loyal toast with
water

New York, July 29.-Opefatiofls in the

of rains i'll the Southwest and the re-
sulting weakness in the grain market was

eye is kept upon all news bearing upon
the condition of the corn crop. There
was no evidence of renewed liquidation
of the forced character that has cQost
the market so dear for some time past.
But the demand for stocks, nevertheless,
showed signs of satisfaction and the sell
ing though light, was sufficient to force
prices backwards again. The recovery
has reached sufficient dimensions to in
duce some profit taking by the specula-
tive buyers for a short turn who We're

Strange Way After 81 Years.

New Brunswick. N. j., July 29.-After
separation of 81 years. Mrs. Aleta NC
Cullough has been united with her son
John in a manner suggestive OF the
modern novel. When an infant the son
was adopted by Mrs. Ellen Smith OF
Plainfield, N. ]. Mrs. Smith nursed the
child tenderly. but did not conceal from
him the fact that he had been adopted.
He spent years in an unsuccessful en-
deayor to find his mother, seeking her
in several parts of the country. Ten
months ago he arrived in New Bruins
wick, and sought work at the carpet
weaving establishment owned by Mrs.
Mccullough Recently he discovered
that his employer was his own mother
and made known his identity to her. AT
first Mrs. Mccullough refused to believe
the relationship. but was hnally COLI
WINGED and has taken him into ner
household as her son. For long time
mother and son lived within 80 miles OF
each other without knowing it.

5000 PIECES OF SKIN.
Given by Masonic Brethren Save
Mans Life.

Plainfield. N. j., July 29.-With more
than 5000 pieces Of live skin contributed
by 100 brother Masons taking root and
growing in the wounds which disflgure
his body, William s. Frederick, bust
ness man. Mason and railroad wreck
victim, is fighting his way back to life
and health in the Muhlenburg hospltai
here. When he leaves-and the sur
geons now say there is scarcely DOUBT
of his recoverable will be in point of
cuticle human composite, for it Is ex-
pected that so or so other Masons will
contribute their skin to the success Of
the remarkable operation before the
wounds are healed.
Frederick was hurt in the wreck near
Graceland, N. j., last January, when
Jersey Central express train from New
York to Philadelphia ran into the rear
of the Easton local, killing 81 and injur-
ing more than so persons. Frederick
was pinned in the wreckage and was
being roasted and scalded alive when
rescued by a party led by DR.. Albert
Pitts, brother Mason and close friend.
After they had extricated the man who
was undergoing such torture, he was
taken to the Muhlenberg hospital and
put in a private room on an air bed.
Two trained nurses from New York
were engaged to assist in the fight for
life.
1t seemed hopeless for the scalds and
burns had practically cooked the left
side of the face, the left arm, both ears,
and both legs from the groin to the shoe
tops. When the sloughing ceased,
Frederick was practically denuded of
skin on one arm, one side of the face
and both legs. The idea of skin graft
ing seemed preposterous, but DR.. Pitts
decided to try it, and he has worked
what is regarded as a wonderful feat in
surgery.
He consulted first with Louis I. Van
Alstyne, master of Anchor Lodge of
Masons in Plainfield, to which both he
and Frederick belongs. The doctor told
the Masonic master the only chance lay
in obtaining skin in large quantities.
Mr.. Van Alstyne. prominent business
man in New York and Plainfield,
brought the question up before Anchor
Lodge. All the members volunteered
to contribute their share. Jerusalem
Lodge of Plainfield followed the lead
of Anchor Lodge. Many volunteers
were rejected because of infirmities. So
eager were those disqualified that they
begged the surgeon to at least let them
contribute one piece to the success of
the operation, but he took no chances.
For weeks the work of contributing
and grating has been going on, and
employees Of the United States Express
Company of which Frederick is chief in
tho office at No 40 Broadway Manhat-
tan, gave their skin willingly when the
surgeon had taken all he dared from
the Masons. Now three-fourths of the
scalded area is covered and the recov-
cry of the injured man is assured.
