Football EuChre,

We are glad to see that a movement
has been inargurated to bring about a
reform in this healthfql and intructive
American game by which it's roughness
and brutalites shall be abolished. Real
sports who love a clean game will heart
lily work for this end. The national foot
ball enchre club met last week in Chi
cago and passed a series of resolutions
to begin this needed reform and we
hereby give them below as followsi
Resolved LIST, That the euchre scream
shall be so moderated as not to be heard
beyond a mile.
Resolved End, That the PLAYERS shall
not be allowed to kick or knock each
other in a cruel manner, nor pull from
any n head more than a hand full of
hair during n evening.
Resolved Bird, That no player shall
grab another's cards or accuse her Of
cheating to get the prize.
Resolved 4th, That the punch served
at games shall contain nothing stronger
than wine and that no member shall
drink more than a pint of same during

Resolved 9th, That no game shall be
extended beyond a reasonable hour, say

gled for life, gasped and died in
this last hour. Four years ago
Senator Carter, of Montana. cele-
brated his retirement by talking to
death a fifty-million dollor river
and harbor bill. His swan song
was a word-painted picture of the
iniquity of that bill, and the drag
ging moments which marked the
dissolution of the Fifty-sixth Cong
ress were chiefly remarkable for
Senator Carriers talk against time,
for which service to his country
he was duly rewarded with the
presidency of the Board of Govern
ment Commissioners for the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition.

insufficient importance to seriously

ed, and there was a quick rush of
those possessing the coveted paste
boards for points of vantage from
which to view the forthcoming
ceremonies in the red carpeted
and mahogany furnished pit below.
The galleries filled quickly and
overfiowed into the corridors. The
gay frocks of the women relieved
the dull background of the walls,
and with their varied colors formed
a picturesque frame for the scene
below. Among the early arrivals
were Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Fairbanks, who took seats in the
Executive gallery.
The arrival of distinguished
guests on the floor soon offered all
the interest the galleries could de-
sire. First came the Supreme
Court of the United States, led by
the venerable Chief Justice; then
the diplomats, with the Russian
| ambassador in front; headed by
Lieutenant General Chaffee; some
sixteen Governors of States, with
members of their stats, justices
and judges of high rank, and many
others whose positions or attain
ments entitled them to recognition
in this assemblage of the favored.
AS each succeeding detachment
arrived announcement was made
by the Sergeant-at-Arms, so that
the galleries readily kept posted on
] their identity. The formal annaun-
cement, however, was due to no
such charitable incentive, but was
intended solely to lend pomp to the
occasion. Most of the reserved
spaces were now filed, and all that
was left was quickly gobbled up,
when, at ten minutes to twelve,
preceded by the jaunty figure of
Uncle Joe," the House of Repre-
sentatices appeared. Then the

the conduct OF McInturff."
Judge Warren did not pronounce
sentence upon the Jap this morning.
Judge Marshall appraised the court
of his intention to make motion
for new trial and he desired more
time In which to prepare his argu-
ment. He said human life was at
stake and he thought he ought to
have as much time as Is given coun-
sci In civil actions.
Judge Warren then announced that
counsel could have additional time.
The Jap will not receive his SEN
tenos until Judge Warren returns
from term of court he is to hold
In Coiville beginning Monday next.
He Is to preside there at murder
trial which will probably consume a
week.
In connection with the criticisms
heard freely expressed today. not only
by Judge Marshall but by members
of the bar and leading citizens, In
reference to the conduct OF Bishop
McInturff, 1t Is stated that his action

fded in the manner Bishop Mclnturft

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-Be-
yond the departure for Honolulu to-
day of Detective Harry Reynolds, of
the city police force; Captain James
Callundan, head of the private de-
tective agency employed by repre-
sentatives of the Stanford estate;
David Starr Jordan, president of the
Stanford university, and Timothy
Hopkins, one of the trustees of the
university, the morning developed
nothing new in the great Stanford
mystery.
Rumors are followed by prompt
denial. Tangible facts are absent.
The first rumor denied was the al
legged finding of bottle of strych-
nine in the Stanford mansion. The
police declare that in Fridays search
only a few simple medicines were
found Another rumor was to the
effect that it was authoritatively an
nounced that styrchnine had been
found in Mrs. Stanford's stomach.
Neither the police, Mrs. Stanford's
brother nor the counsel for the STAN
ford estate have any such informa-
ton and all deny the report on the
work thus far accomplished by the
analytical chemists given out either
In Honolulu or cabled to San Fran
cisco.
Miss Berners admission that she
purchased a bottle of bicarbonate of
soda and that the purchase was made
after the first poisoning and three
days before the time she says it was
packed away to remain untouched un-
til Mrs. Stanford arrived in Honolulu
is considered fatal to her side of the
case. In fact, Miss Berner's many
contradictory statements and bad
memory have not helped to dispel the
impression that she is attempting to
shield the guilty person.
The police department Is still rest
ing on it's oars, but is ready to make
arrests as soon as information comes

from Honolulu that poison was actu.
ally found in the stomach of Mrs.
Stanford.
There can be no question that a
number of former Stanford servants
now cooped up in the Stanford man
sion and perhaps two or three other
Stanford employees will be taken into
custody as soon as 1t is definitely as
certained that Mrs. Stanford was poi
soned.
Before sailing the detectives had
officials. They were instructed not
only to escort Miss Berner and Miss
Hunt to San Francisco, but to bring
other material witnesses If it was
found to be expedient. All tangible
evidence will be turned over by the
Honolulu police to the San Francisco.
police.
The fact that the strychnine found
in the Poland water of which Mrs.
Stanford partook when she was first
poisoned is identical with the strych-
nine used about the Stanford stables
to kill rats is conceded to be a most
important discovery.
The police anticipate no difficulty
in learning the identity of the per-
sons who could have had access to
the poison kept in the stables and
believe the clew will lead direct to
the person or persons responsible for
the presence of poison in the bicar-
Donate of soda.
1t is persistently reported today
that the name of the actual instiga-
tor of the crime has not yet appeared
publicly. The police, it is stated.

BISHOP M'|NTuRFF
IS DENOUNCED

Ex-Judge Marshall, senior counsel
for Henry Arao, the Jap who was
lately convicted of the murder of
Sam Chang, expressed himself freely
and forcibly this morning at the
courthouse in reference to the con-
duct OF Bishop McInturff in maxi
ing public an alleged confession of
the condemned Jap.

Stands on the central portico,
extending to the tribune wherein
the ceremony occurred, covered an
acre. From the central entrance
of the Capitol to the seats of honor
surrounding the pagoda-like trib-
redune was laid carpet of Grim
son plush. Long before the cere-
monies in the Senate, where Vice
President Fairbanks was taking
the oath of office, were concluded,
most of the reserved seats had
been filled by ticket holders.
Four years ago there was an en-
barrassing misunderstanding be-
tween the members of the Supreme
Court and the Diplomatic Corps as
to precedence in the march Of nota-

diplomats found no seats for all,
but the justices went ahead and
the diplomats follawed.

tice Fuller, who is almost heroic

the eye of the vast crowd. Thanked
