the condition that school of Tech

stituting a section authorizing that
$751; 900 be taken from the receipts of
the insurance Department, half Of that
amount in 1905, and the remainder III

voted down and on the third reading
the bill failed by a vote of 5 to %.

900, appropriation, caused consider
able debate. and was re-referred to

Of the attempt to poison her was posi-
lively denied persistent rumors re-
gardinS the matter were revived.
An official of the Morse Detective
Agency who Investigated the first at
tempt by poison on the life Of Mrs.
Stanford, stated that there was some
foundation for the belief that she had
been poisoned prior TO her departure
for Honolulu. Beyond that statement,
however, he would give no particu-
lars.
Mountford S. Wilson, Mrs. STAN
ford's personal attorney, said that in
hi sopinion and in the opinion of
Charles 6. Lathrop. Mrs. Stanford's
brother, Mrs. Stanford died natural
death.
Mr.. Wilson said Mrs. Stanford had
been in poor health for some time
and probably died from heart failure,
apoplexy or some similar trouble.
An autopsy on the remains of Mrs
Stanford was performed thiOS after
noon. The physician who conducted
the autopsy said that the cause of
death was tetanuS of the respiratory
organs, but that he cannot state how
the tetanua was brought about until
after an examination of the contents
of the stomach.
