Is disclosed Here is great university.
AS l understand 1t. it is dedicated to
the higher learning and the making OF
character. The founder of it believed
IN the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood Of man. Mrs. Stanford was
a good woman That Is the best thing
that can De said Of any one.
There Is no greatness ss0 great as
simple goodness. In speaking OF Queen
Victoria at her memorial service one
of the main points spoken Of was that
her departed Majesty was far greater
as a woman wife. mother, widow than
not titular queen, OF course but a
queenly woman, wife, mother and
widow. The Stanford family have all
faded out OF this world: nothing visible
Is left Of them but their tomb, their
memory and the material structures
they erected. This institution and the
fountain they opened will not pass
away. Here Is an enduring monument
and memorial In the far future hun
dreds of young Americans will swarm
through these massive structures. study
In these classrooms, worship IN this
church and go forth to help mankind,
the product Of the far-seeing benefi-
cence of Senator and Mrs. Stanford,
whose bodies, with that OF their son.

MRS. STANFORD LOYAL TO ELks.
Gift to the Order Recalls
Friendship of Years.


The munificence shown by the late
Mrs. Jane Stanford to charity in her
will was generally commented upon
by the public yesterday, but none of
her gifts caused more talk than the
Protective Order of Elks of this city.
est the former generous mistress of
the affairs of the Elks, whom she
always remembered each year by
sending to their annual memorial SER
vices a handsome floral piece as
token of her sincere sympathy with
the charitable purposes of the order.
Mrs. StanfordS interests in the Elks
dated back many years. when her de-
ceased brother, Harry Lathrop, was
a prominent member of the order. in
which he finally rose to the position
of Exalted Ruler. After the death of
Harry Iathrop she became regular
contributor to the order and no floral
tribute to the departed was more con-
spicuous on the platform at the me-
mortal services than the magnificent
piece sent by her. Charles G.. Lathrop
is ilso a member of the Elxs, a fact
which always seemed to please his
sister who often mentioned ii to her
friends. In the esteem of the men,
bers of the order no woman In Amer
lea stood higher than Mrs. Jane STAN
ford and no one will more deeply re-
gret her sad ending than those who
knew of her friendship for them and
each year received her floral contri-
button.

MANY GOOD DEEDS

World Is Robbed of Noble
Christian Being by the
Sad and Mysterious Death
Of the Most Worthy Lady

The noble work performed by Mrs.
Jane Stanford during her long life
was the subject of discourse by Rev.
j. H. n. Williams last evening at the
Simpson Memorial Methodist Episco-
pal~ Church.. During the course of
his remarks the eloquent pastor said:
The death OF Mrs. Jane L. Stanford widow
OF Senator Stanford, and benefactress of Le-
land Stanford Jr.. University came as a great
shock to the people OF this city and State and
fbsyond the State; for throughout the nation
and in other lands she had long been known
as a woman of high moral purpose and strength
of character nobly devoted TO great ideals
cherished by her late husband and fully shared
In by herself. Verify a great and good wom-
an has gone. Her husband. was a man of
great viii and energy consecrated to great
achievements. He knew what il was to face
tremendous difficulties with patience and
perseverance and to triumph over them. Mrs.
@ staniora aiso exhinIted IKE qualities OF mind
large spirit OF philanthropy, but an un-
selfishness in devotion to a great work that is
making a constant and permanent impress for
good on the young life of our State
Possessed of great wealth which she poured
out for the endowment of the university she
was riche- in the possession of those noble
graces and qualities of mind and heart that
constitute nobility OF character Womanhood
eyerywhere is the better and purer for every
noble and womaniy life lived Mrs. stanford, =
life not only had its private and family side,
but its public features Her husband was once
the Governor of this State and was also a
United States Senator. But every where Mrs
Stanford stood for that which was worthy and
good. her life being a splendid embodiment
and expression of noble womanhood.
While the circumstances surrounding her
death are mysterious and sad she had attained
a ripe age and accomplished much. She has
surely Joined the choir invisible of those i'm
mortal dead. who live again in minds made bet
ter by their presence" Such lives do not end
with the parting breath. There is the personal
and CONSCIOUS immortality and reunion with
loved ones in the better land and there is the
continuance of lifes noble influence which in
Mrs. Stanfords case is perpetuated in agencies
established to reappear again and again in
coming generations who will call her blessed
May the institution she and her husband
founded abide in the centuries a fountain
of wisdom. righteousness and power, perpetual
ing not only their name. but helping to bull
wark great commonwealth in its march to a
worthy destiny

PALO ALTO. March 5.-WhiIe this
mornings impressive service in honor
of the memory of Mrs. Stanford was
being conducted In the Memorial
Church Chaplain Gardner, preacher
to the university and favorite minister
of Mrs. Stanford, was lying at his
home In the campus. almost at deaths
door with typhoid fever. His maIady
is so severe and his condition so se-
r1ous that his physicians deem il un-
wise at this critical point of his i'll
ness to break the news to him that his
great friend and helper has left him
forever.
1t is a sad fate that sickness has
laid low the chaplain at this time Mrs
Stanford often expressed the wish that
II death should Overtake her Rev. Mr..
Gardner should be the one to pro-
nounce the funeral service. Provi-
dence had, however, decreed other
wise. and stranger took the place
the favor1te young minister was to
have filled at the solemn service to-
day.
DR.. Gardner came to America from
England and took charge of the little
Episcopal parish in PalO Alto. Mrs.
Stanford. although not a member OF
this church, often attended its services
and she quickly saw the ability of this

Convert to Spiritualism
TELL OF SEANCES IN
BIG NEW YORK HOTELS
Ariel Lathrop, Brother of
Dead Woman, Defends Her
Cook, All Wing, Who Is
Under Surveillance Here
Special dispatch to The Cali.

ALBANY. N. Y, March 5.-Ariel
Lathrop, heir to the income of S1,000,00O
of Mrs. Stanfords estate, does not be-
lieve his sister was poisoned. He
stoutly defends the Chinese cook, All
Wing. and declares that so far as he
knows no employe of Mrs. Stanford's s
would have harmed her. Incidentally,
Ariel Lathrop and Albany people who
were slightly intimate with Mrs. Stan
ford say she was a confirmed spiritual
ist. When Lathrop was told by a Call
correspondent of his inheritance by his
sisters will he expressed no surprise.
The fact that he had received a be-
quest did not seem SO important as the
report that Miss Bertha Berner had
pointed to the Chinese servant as the
one she suspected of having admins
tered poison to her mistress.
Poor All Wing is as innocent of
poisoning Mrs. Stanford as a new born
babe" said Lathrop. No one thought
more of her than that faithful Chinese
servant. Poison her? Why, he would
have laid down his life for her at any
was poisoned, was Lathrops positive
declaration.
II know of no one that could possi-
bly, gain through her death unless it
was some servant, and dispatches show
that the largest. sum any servant re-
ceived was $4,000 left to Miss Berner.
l believe the results of the investiga-
ton will show that Mrs. Stanford was
not poisoned. 1t seems strange to me
that the chemists are so slow in COM
ing to conclusion in their investiga-
tions. Perhaps they are holding some
thing back.
Mrs. Lathrop confirmed her hus-
bands report that Mrs. Stanford was a
spiritualist, citing in support of that
statement the fact that Mrs. Stanford
had told Mrs. Henry E. Highton, who
happened to be in Honolulu, that she
had even thought at one time of hav-
inge~a psychtcal department in Leland
Stanford University. Mrs. Lathrop
herself had experiences in the line OF
spiritualism with Mrs. Stanford, but
thinks the subject one too delicate to
discuss at this time. Friends of Mrs
Stanford's living in this city tell most
interesting stories of her experience
with spiritualism and say positively
that she was confirmed believer in
that faith.
They relate instances when Mrs.
Stanford was living in New York City
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and the
Astor House. At that time she re-
ceived frequent calls from Mabel Lor,
"a medium, and also had MANY con-
tferences with Rev. Mr. Newman and
his wife. There was also a medium
named Mrs. Stryker and a Miss Car
roll, who called regularly at Mrs STAN
ford's apartments. Mr. Stanford him
self attended these spiritualistic SCI
ances with his wife. Intimate friends
of Mrs. Stanford's say that Miss Ber-
ner is a medium.

HONOLULU, March 5.-Great sur
prise was expressed here last night
when il was learned that the body of
Mrs. Stanford is TO be shipped to San
Francisco for burial next Thursday
morning on the steamer China. Miss
Bertha Berner, the secretary, and
Miss May Hunt. the maid, will accom-
pany the remains.
II was the general opinion all along
that the BODY would not be shipped

representatives, Of the estate would
arrive on the steamer Alameda on Fri
day morning. Just what prompted this
sudden move is d mystery. as none OF
the officials or others interested in the

REGARDING the peculiar action
II was we'll known that President
Jordan Of Stanford University left San
Francisco on Saturday morning for
Honolulu with the avowed intention Of
accompanying the remains TO San
Francisco. He was of the opinion shat
the body would not be shipped for two
weeks at least. and. acting on this IN

When the news was spread around
town hast night much excitement pre-

II was given out tonight that the po-
lice had something to say in regard TO

HONOLULU, March 5.-The conduct
Of the police in the case is inexplica-
BILE. The suggestion is made in some
quarters that those interested In the
estate Of Mrs. Stanford are having
great influence in the management OF
the local inquiry on account of pos
sible will contest raising the question
of sanity.
Most rigid inquiries are being made
regarding every detail of Mrs. Stan
ford's life while here The police con-
tinue every effort to preserve secrecy
concerning incidents connected with
the case.
Judge Stanley had another long con-
ference to-day with Miss Berner, Mrs.
Stanford's secretary.
1t is believed that unless there is
very positive proof of poisoning the
strongest efforts will be made to secure
from the Coroner's jury a verdict that
death was due to natural causes.
Judge Stanley, who is representing
the Stanford estate, and the Police
Department are apparently working
closely together.
Judge Stanley has been present at
most of the interviews with Miss
Berner and Deputy Sheriff Rawlins.
There are some indications that ef-
forts will be made to continue secrecy
and withhold the chemists report un-
til the steamer Alameda arrives from
San Francisco with representatives of
the Stanford estate and detectives.
Though High Sheriff Henry has re-
peatedly promised to give out the find
ings of the chemists when made, it is
known that he has been in possession
of them since last night
Miss Berner is quite i'll from the
strain of constant. examinations and
the shock of Mrs. Stanford's death.
