LELAND STANFORD AND
 CALIFORNIA; BIG FOUR

country. Of the four Stanford was Il best educated in the conventional sens Before going to California he was a law yer in Wisconsin. He was also the one of the number who had large political abilities and ambitions. He was a delegate to the convention which nominated Lin coin in 1860; the next year was elected governor of California, and in 1885 to the United States Senate. In the last year also, he, together with his wife, now dead, founded the Leland Stanford Junior university at Palo Alto, Cal, in memory Of their son of that name. who. had died in 1884 at the age of r years They con- veyed to the university landed property representing an aggregate value of many millions, and Senator Stanford when he died left it a bequest of s2, 100000. Appar- ently in fulflment of his wishes. Mrs Stanford turned over to it practically the whole of the estate, so that the total endowment was toward $30, ,O00, ,000 The un- iversity is thus the most magnificent me- morial ever raised by paternal and ma ternai love in pious memory of dead son.
 Mrs Stanford gave also the chief thought and the most anxious solicitude of her later years to the management and development of the memorial university She was practically the master spirit in the enterprise. and as such she did not escape criticism of her conceptions of its educational needs and the methods to be adopted in its administration and instruction. It was complained that the trustees of the university were merely her subordinates and that she herself was a woman of eccentrcities which in- terfered with the wise scholastic de- velopment of the institution.
 None of her critics, however could deny that she was woman of remark able ability and strength of character. Her devotion to the university erected as a memorial to her only son was abso-
 ute in it's unselfshness.
 Both Mrs. Stanford and her husband were natives of Albany county. in the state of New York. and in age they were only one year apart. he having been born in 1924 and she in 1925. Besides her munhcent gifts to the Leland Standford university, she built and endowed a children's hospital at Albany and gave large sum to kindergarten schools in San Francisco. Maternal devotion was thus a passion with her whie no lapse of time after the death of her son. twen- ty-one years ago, had served to cool. for practically all her benefactions were made as memorial to him.

sea. It proposes to meet an open War rior and play the water game to the limit
 It is very pretty proposition, bus there are obstacles to be overcome. The hard-headed legislators of Geor- gia who are not in the seheme-who do not live in Atlanta-may not be willing to surrender big rentals for the purpose of conducting a railroad at loss. There is a good deal Of Georgia outside of Atlanta. An open Chattahoochee is a better scheme than the rail-and-riyer plan that Atlanta IS pursuing at present.

Japan's Civilization.

"The wonder of the world at present" said a philosopher at the Hillman last night. ''is Japan. The appreciation of that remarkable people is rising daily through out the rest of the world. And to think that the little country cooped up on mountainous islands, should be able to accomplish so much in forty yearsl
 But 1t will scarcely do," he went on to explain, Ito say that Jaran's civiliza- tion is but forty years old. It is far older than Americas. and that civiliza- ton is not much better today than it was three hundred years ago. The people were as patriotic and fatalistic three hun dred years ago as they are today. The only difference is, they have scooped on assimilated western nations and methods, and mechanical contrivances, and they are handling them even more effectively than the west does. Japan holds great people and she will surely dominate the far east"

snrlnn Weather.

'The weather has been ideal" said man yesterday. "It has given an impetus to trade that is most gratifying, and the streets are thronged with people morning, noon and night the entire week Saturday the streets were so crowded that stranger asked me If there was a circus in the city, that he had no idea there were so many people in Birmingham except on a circus day.
 This time of the year the weather is, of course vital to baseball and I am frank to confess that am more of fan than a business man, and at that l have a pretty extensive business The weather just naturally makes a man want to travel to West End to see Old Father Vaughan's boys take game from Newt. Fisher.
 "The weather brings joy to the hearts of many. It helps the sick to improve, and those just recovering from an illness can get out in the fresh air. This weather Is just right for them. On Sunday families can enjoy the solid comfort of the front porch, and yesterday I saw hundreds of families sitting on the porch.
 "A car ride in balmy weather Is a per- feet tonic. It is not so hot that one need move from side to side of the car to avoid the sun and it is not too cool to make it disagreeable. took my babies for ride Sunday afternoon to East Lake, and the little tots seemed to gain strength and animal spirit.
 In other words this weather brings smile to the face of all and happiness Irix ly towards all humanity. I always cast a vote for the early days of spring when they are like this"

Chance for a Censor.

If Birmingham had censor of public morals he would have a fine opportunity to use his authority against the owners or managers of certain cigar and to- bacco store on prominent street." said gentleman from Mobile. This store makes a practice of keeping bizarre pie lures in its windows in order to attract the attention of pedestrians. All these pictures exhibit female charms in vari- ous ways. Some of them are not es- pecially harmful but a new work of art has been added recently that is about the most suggestive poster l have ever seen paraded before the public. It hangs there in the window where every woman and child who passes is confronted with it's Haunting obscenity. Such a picture you would expect to find on the wall of a cheap gin mill but certainly not in place of business which is supposed to be respectable.r

Warsaw, March 6--11 p. m.-This city is gradually resuming it's normal aspect, and troops are being with drawn. The carnival season. which began almost at the same time as the labor troubles, will close tomorrow.

 There was not a single ball during the season, and the opera and theatres have been empty A pastoral letter from the bishop of Warsaw was read in all the churches yesterday, urging the strikers to return to work, and give no heed to dangerous agitators.

 for Adams and the laboring people in his section of the state were for MT. Adams, and he told Governor Adams the same thing; that the pressure was so great from the Peabody people that they might drive him out of the state if he did not vote with them, as they were browbeating and bulldozing many republican members of the legislature. and making threats against them in busi- ness and politics; that he was convinced that the Peabody people had no case. Mir Morgan stated that he had been of fered $300O by Peabody people. and he ought to have 5000 if he stood by Adams and incurred the enmity of the Peabody people. I told him not to pay members of the legislature to vote one way or the other in the governorship contest. Mir Morgan was very inslstent and finally said he would take $500 I absolutely refused to have anything to do with him. and he went away. Mir. Sullivan was present during the entire conversation.

Sullivan Makes Statement.

Senator Morgan approached me sew eral days ago. said Postmaster Sulli- van, "and told me in the presence of witnesses that he was anxious to vote for Governor Adams because Peabody had failed to make case. told him that I had always believed that he was tied up to the Peabody side, but he ve- hemently denied the charge. He plead ed with me to take him to MT. Herbert, and while I suspected that he was not honest with us I could see no harm in permitting him to have talk with MT. Herbert. Fortunately l was in the room during the conversation and heard him solicit the bribe and MT. Herbert em- phatically declined to consider it"
 q do not believe the charges Gov ernor Adams said in reply to a question. And I believe that they are made sim ply as part of the political game. Sem ator Morgan came to see me of his own accord on March ?, the day on which he says bribe was offered him, and he volunteered the information that he would vote for me. I thanked him for his vote. and he said that he was con- vinced that I was honestly elected and entitled to the vote"

President Roosevelt Decides That He
Cannot Probe Insurance Com
panies' Affairs.

Washington, May ~. - President
Roosevelt, as heretofore noted, has
been urged to take steps looking to a
government inquiry into the opera
lions of life insurance companies, and
especially the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society Of New York concerning
which embarrassing complications
have developed during the past few
months. After careful consideration
of the subject and inquiry into, the
legal phases Of such suggested in
vestigation. the president has deter
mined that under the circumstances
the government has no authority to
take up the matter, either through a
special commission or through a bu-
reau of corporations.
Investigations may be instituted and
carried on by the state governments in
the states where the companies do
business. These inquiries may be
made as rigid as is deemed necessary
to develop the facts. Upon state in
vestigations, therefore, the government
officials are of the opinion that the
people must rely for information as to
the conduct of the insurance business.

BLOODSHED IN WARSAW.
Riots in the Jewish Quarter in Which
Eight Persons Are
Killed.

Warsaw, May 26.-The Jewish dis
orders here Wednesday night arose from
an attempt of the Jewish socialist organ
izatfon called the Bund to purge the He
brew district Of Warsaw of all disrepu-
table persons. The Bundites, with the
view of expelling their undesirable CO.
religionists, commenced to wreck dis
orderly houses, cafes and other resorts.
Eight persons have been killed and 100
wounded, 10 seriously. The damage to
property has been considerable. There
has been no pillaging, but the destruc-
ton of the furniture in the various
houses has been absolute. The mob,
armed with axes, smashed the doors and
windows and brought the furniture out
on the streets, where they broke it into
small pieces. The owners of the furni-
ture in attempting to defend their be-
longings were attacked, beaten and even
killed.
