Shock to University.

|. Stanford, University, Cali, March 1.-Dr. Jordan, president of Stanford University today said:
 The sudden death of Mrs. Stanford has come as great shock to all of us. She has been brave and strong that We hoped for her return we'll rest ed. But it was q joy to her to have been spared so long-to have lived to see the work of her husbands life and hers firmly and fully established. All her thoughts were of the Univer- sity and of the way to make 1t effec- tive for wisdom and righteousness. No one outside the university can under stand the difficulties in her way in the final establishment of the university and her patient deeeds of seIf-sacri- flee can be known only to those who knew them from day to day"
 What Dillon Says,

Dillon, Profesosr of Materia Medica at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. when informed of the autopsy on Mrs. Stanford's body. said that the adminIs- tration of strychnine in fatal doses was always followed by tetanus Cstiffening) of the respiratory organs, but other agencies might cause such artificial tetanus.

 The body of Mrs. Stanford will be returned from Honolulu on the first steamer. Until its arrival 1t is prob- ably the university will remain closed The funeral will take place from ths Stanford Memorial Church and inter ment will be made in the Stanford Mausoleum on the campus.
 The death of Mrs. Stanford will stop all student activitiveS that have been scheduled for the neyt few days.
 Jordan Interviewed.
 President David Jordan when inter viewed this morning stated that the death of Mrs Stanford would result in no change whatever of the policy of the university, that things have been in the hands of the board of trustees for sometime past and that the trus- tees are in entire sympathy with Mrs. Stanford's wishes.
 Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford was born in Albany, N. Y., in 1925. She married Leland Stanford. who later became one of the builders of the Central Pacific Railroad and accumulated an immense fortune. As the wife of Governor dnd later Senator Stanford, Mrs. Stanford for many years took a prominent rart in social affairs. She co-operated with her husband in the founding of Le- land Stanford, Jr.. University and af- ter Senator Stanford's death devoted herself ahaost entirely to the inter ests of the university. Although the immense endowment of nearly twenty million dollars made by Senator and Mrs. Stanford to the university was placed in the hands of trustees, Mrs Stanford until the time of her death had control of the funds and the ap- pointment of the trustees.
 Almost the entire Stanford fortune now goes to the university. Mrs. Stan ford had but one child. son, who died at an early age and In memory of whom the Lelanf Stanford, IT,, Uni. versity was founded.
 Montfo-d S. Wilson, attorney for Mrs. Stanford, stated to the Associated Press that he thought Mrs. Stanford had died from natural causes. While not denying that an investigation had been made here of Mrs. Stanford's ill., ness he said that the stories circuia. ted about 1t were sensational and with out foundation.
 Chief of Detectives Burnett stated today that his. department had not in . vestigated the story of the allegel att tempt to poison Mrs. Stanford lust before she saile3 for Honolulu. He said that no complaint had been made to his department and if any investJ- gation had been made 1t was done by private parties
