POWERS OF STANFORD'S
PRESIDENT ARE RESTRICTED
Board of Trustees Forms a New Or
ganization for the Internal Man.
agement of the University.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April
27.-The board of trustees of Stanford
University has adopted detailed
form of organization for the internal
management of the university. The
plan was considered and accepted at
the last meeting of the board of trus-
tees which was held on March 81,
but the adoption of the new scheme of
faculty organization was not published
until to-day. BY it the duties of the
officers of the university are clearly
defined and lines of work are laid
out for fourt III standing commit
tees.
The powers of the president aof the
university are materially restricted
by the new organization. The presi-
dent is to be the executive officer of
the university and responsible for the
discipline of the institution. He is ex-
offfcio chairman of all committees
and the medium between the faculty
or students and the board of trustees.
But he is controlled in his acts by a
new advisory board, consisting of nine
professors, elected by the academic
council, the latter composed of the
faculty of the university. The plan
of organization sets forth that all
executive acts of general Importance,
such as recommendation for appoint
ments, promotions or dismissals are
to be submitted by the president to
the advisory board for approval be-
fore they become operative or before
they are submitted TO the trustees for
action, when such action is necessary.
The advisory board is privileged to
make such recommendations to the
president regarding policy as it may
deem expedient, but cannot recon-
mend in the case of appointments,
promotions or dismissals"
The university is further divided
into five general departments, as fol-
lows:
1. English, Germanic languages,
Latin, Greek, Romantic languages.
q Zoology, physiology, hygiene,
entomology, botany, geology.
8. Mathematics. physics. chemistry,
psychology.
4. Law, history. economics, educa-
ton.
5. Engineering. applied mathemat-
les, drawing.

SLIGHT WOUND ON LIP
RESULTS IN LOCKJAW
Samuel n. Matthews, Prominent
Cattleman of Monterey County,
Is Suffering From Tetanus.

SALINAS. April 27.-Samuel N Mat
thews, a prominent cattleman and
rancher of Monterey County, with vast
interests in Mendocino, Humboldt and
other counties, was taken to San Fran
cisco this morning for treatment for
lockjaw. While talking with friends
last evening he was suddenly attacked
by cramps in the muscles of the jaw.
The attacks became more frequent, and
finally his jaws became firmly set The
attack is supposed to be the result of
an accident which occurred two weeks
ago, when Matthews was on the Topo
ranch. A horse he was riding suddenly
stopped, causing Matthews to bite his
upper lip. The wound. though slight,
was slow to heal, and physicians now
believe it caused the tetanic seizure.

BUYERS ARE NOTIFIED.

The latter notified all buyers that il
they persisted in patronizing the Grow
ers' Agency they would not be allowed
to procure supplies Of berries, oranges
or other fruits which the growers did
not handle. The retailers Immediately
organized for their own protection and
entered into a compact with the COM
mission merchants association, known
as the Wholesale Fruit and Produce
Merchants Protective Association, the
purpose of which was to fight the grow
ers. 1t was agreed that the wholesalers
would not sell to any dealer who was
not member of the retailers organ
ization and all of the commission men
put up a bond of 500 with the retail
ers as guarantee of good faith The
retailers in return agreed to boycott
the Growers Agency.
All retail fruit men were obliged to
join the association or go out of the
business, as no storekeeper could buy
IL the wholesale fruit market unless he
could show a card of membership in
the retailers combine. Everything ran
smoothly under this agreement for a
while, and at regular intervals lists
were issued containing the names of
storekeepers who were backward about
paying their dues to the retailers as
sociation, and these men were unable
to secure supplies until they had set

DEALERS
DO NOT AGREE
Members of Local Retail
Organization Are Divided
and Some of Them Quit
IN DANGER
Wholesalers Are Drawn Into
the Fight and Serious
Trouble Is Now Expected

The Retail Fruit Dealers Associa-
ton, an organization composed OF men
who retail fruit in this city, and which
has been in existence for about two
years, is threatened with disruption,
and several Of the members have al
ready left the organization. The trouble
seems 70 lie in the fact that a large
number of the members are of the opin-
ion that the association is Of no benefit
to the trade in general and that the
funds created by the imposition Of dues
and fines are put to no practical use.
The dissatisfied members claim that
the association is controlled by few
dealers, who are running the organ
iZation to suit themselves and in their
own interests. The names of the men
who dropped out have been placed on
a black list, and the officers of the as
sociation declare that they will be pre-
vented from securing supplies in the
wholesale market and thus be forced
to retire from business unless they pay
up and secure reinstatement.
The association was formed. about
two years ago when the war between
the Sacramento River Co-operators and
the local commission men was on in
the wholesale fruit market. The river
men opened a store in the wholesale
quarter, where they handled large lines
of limited variety of produce and
made deep cuts into the profits of the
commission men,

BUTCHERS SHOULD SELL
NATIVE MEAT EXCLUSIVELY
Would Build Up Cattle Industry and Help Sa
Vannah, Says Former Butcher.

]. Robert Creamer clerk of Coun-
Gil, who was for a number of years
in the butcher business, thinks the
packing house strike will prove a great
thing for this section of the country,
if it again puts the native meat, in
stead of the Western product, in the
local markets.
Now is the time, Mr.. Dreamer thinks,
to begin an active fight for native
beef. The local market can be easily
supplied with it, he says, and it is
better than the Western meats.
Il should like to see the matter taken
up by the Chamber of Commerce"
said Mr.. Creamer. IF Savannah peo-
pie ate no Western meats, cattle-rais-
ing would soon become one of the
biggest industries in this section of
the country and Savannah would be
greatly benefited in consequence.
II remember the day when there
was not a pound of Western meat sold
in Savannah. When it was first in
troduced you could not get the people
to take it. What accounts for its be-
ing used now? Why. simply that it
is easy to handle and can be gotten
at any time. The butchers have forced
it on the people. with the exception
of a very few dealers. the native meat
is not sold here at all.
Native Meet Is Better.
During the strike. the butchers will,
of course, have to sell the native beef
II they would all advocate the contin-
uance of it after the strike is over
1t would be a great thing for the cat
tie industry in this section, and the
people would get the sweetest. purest
and healthiest meat.
There is no doubt about native beef
being preferable. Let all the butchers
sell native beef and continue to sell
il, and we will have an industry that
viii mean much for Savannah. and
this section. Why, before Western
meats were introduced here there was
quite a large trade in hides and tai
low. All this has gone row.
When the Butchers Protective As
ISOLATION was organized. and ! went
into II at the time. the idea was TO
buy home cattle There we're butch
ere IN II then. Most butchers now are
not really butchers they are mere
~ meat cutters. The organization now
Is supposed 10 be on the same line
as was originally intended, but they
have all gone over TO the packing
