PALO ALTO, Cal. September Q, 1905.
The death of Jane Lothrop Stanford
has simplitied matters great deal at
Stanford University, and has removed an
influence from that institution that was all
powerful, but not all-wise. Mrs. Stanford
a noble woman. Her soul was hlled
with the Hottest aspirations and was over
whelmed with a desire to benefit her fellow
man. But her ideas were not always prac-
teal. and the board of trustees often found
1t difficult to convince her of tat fact
The individuality of the Stanford family
father, mother and son-has been stamped
upon the institution with such force that 1t
can never be effaced, but it Is expected that
in time certain changes will be made to di-
vest it of some of the evidences of their
personalities that often suggest criticism,
If not ridicule. This will be Lone gradually
and reverently, and without the slightest
disrespect to the memory of the noble man
and woman whose lives and enormous for
tunes were dedicate to the education of the
sons and daughters of other people because
they were deprived by Providence of the
privilege of educating children of their own.

Museum of Personal Relics.

A section of the museum is filled with
personal relics of Senator and Mrs. Stan
ford and their son, for whose monument
the university was founded The boy evil
IDENTIFY had very bright mind and mature
ideas for one of his age, and while he was
travelling in Europe with his parents he be-
came possessed of a commendable ldea-to
make a collection of the most interesting
things he saw for the entertainment and
education of other boys who were deprived
of the opportunity to travel. This little col
lection of his is the nucleus of the uniVer-
sity museum, and it should be placed where
it can be seen and understood by every per-
son who enters the building; but its signifi-
canoe and the lesson it should teach are
destroyed by placing around it the play
things and clothing of his childhood and
other personal objects which Were pre-
served by the heaTt-brOken mother, and to
her were more precious than the treasures
of the Louvre or the British Museum. The
only PURPOSE which their exhibition can
serve is to show how much Mrs. Stanford
loved her son and how devoted she was to
his memory; but the institution itself is a
sufficient evidence of that affection, with
out exposing il to the redicule OF though
less visitors.
Beside the clothing and personal belong
ings of her son are similar relics of her
self and her husband, which are equally
out of place Some of them-her rare
laces for example, and objects which re-
late to his public life-should be pre-
served but there is scarcely room in any
museum for the old clothes of people of

LABOR FEDERATION ENJOINED
Temporary order Issued in California
at Instance of Connecticut
Hat Makers.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 23.-United
States Circuit Judge Morrow has granted
the application of Dietrich E. Loewe s; Co.
of Danbury, Conn, for a temporary in
junction against the California State Fed
Grafton of Labor and the San Francisco
Labor Council, which is boycotting a local
firm of jobbers in the hats manufactured
by Loewe The injunction pendente lite
was granted on the ground that the unions
had conspired not only to protect them
selves, but to destroy the property and
ruin the business of the comnlainants.
The defendants contention was that they
had used neither force, threats nor intimi-
dation and had only urged upon the friends
of labor the necessity of using their pa
tronage for the benefit of labor-a constitu-
tional right.
"But can it be truthfully said that this
is all that has been done by them in forcing
the boycott?" the court proceeds and points
out that this is the power Of combined
numbers" and that the company is helpless
unless they surrender the management
and control of their business TO a labor or
ganization."
"All employees have the right to quit their
employment, but no right to combine to
quit in order thereby to compel their en-
ployer to withdraw from a mutually
profitable relation with third person for
the purpose of injuring the third person
when the relation thus sought to be broken
had no effect whatever upon the character
of the reward of their services"

MIXUP IN FIRST DISTRICT
Possibility Call for Special Congressional

NO SESSION BEFORE GENERAL ELECTION
Question Also Arises whether the
Two Parties VIII He Under Obli-
cation to Hold COnven-
tions Anew.
CFrom a stan Correspondent.) }

LINCOLN, June 23.-(Special Telegram.)
Republicans and democrats OF the First
congressional district will in all probability
hold no election July IS to select success
sor to Senator Burkett. This because the
proclamation issued by Governor Mickey
calling the special election is, in the opin-
ion OF prominent attorneys. in direct con-
Aict with the statutes and Is therefore null
and void. Section 1Os of the Compiled Stat
utes bearing on this subject reads as fol-
lows:
When a vacancy occurs in the office of
representative in congress or members OF
the legislature and the body in which such
vacancv exiafs will convene prior 10 the
next general election, the governor shall
order a special election to fill such vacancy
at the earliest practical time and ten days
notice Of such election shall be given.
It is claimed the election proclamation is
void for the reason that there will be no
. session of congress before the general cleo
Nion, or at least no extra session Of con-
'gress has been called.
Governor Mickey issued his proclamation
under the impression that there would be
no election in Nebraska this fall and that
President Roosevelt would call a special
session Of congress.
Advisors OF the two candidates, Pollard
and Brown. have had the matter under
consideration all day. but refuse to issue
any authoritative statement, but that both
sides realize the proclamation is void is
evidenced by the fact that not a wheel is
turning in either headquarters and all
operations have been suspended. In fact,
everything politically is up in the air. 1t is
believed by leaders in both parties that
Governor Mickey will rescind his proclama-
tion within forty-eight hours, but whether
he does or not, they say the election will
be void.
May Mean Another Convention.
Should Governor Mickey withdraw his
proclamation 1t Is held by prominent at
torneys that 1t would be necessary for both
the republicans and democrats to hold
again their nominating conventions. Prom
inent democrats tonight said they would
merely renominate Mayor Brown, while
prominent republicans said there would be
a fight for the republican nomination.
Should this be the case II might mean the
defeat of Candidate Pollard, as many of
the Lancaster republicans have not yet be-
come reconciled to him. Should the candi-
date pull off the election anyhow, IL is
claimed that any one who would have his
name put on the ticket at the general cleo
tion and who received any votes would be
declared elected.
Attorney General Brown tonight said he
would prefer to look into the matter fur
ther before making statement. though he
thought II both sides participated In the
election, and a special session should be
called before the general election, there
would be no trouble, Otherwise, he said
the call for the election probably was void

committee had this to say:
