MISS BERNER INNOCENT.
DR.. Jordan was seen at noon yester-
day and asked if he had anything new
to say on the subject. He replied:
| No: that matter is being taken up
entirely by Mr.. Hopkins and the detec-
tives. I'm not a detective. you know
that is not part of my education.
''Who could benefit by Mrs. Stan
ford's death, presuming she was poi
soned? Certainly not Miss Berner. She
was it is true a beneficiary under the
will of Mrs. Stanford but by Mrs.
Stanford's death she loses a position
she has held for twenty years posi-
ton which pays her we'll in salary, eX-
penses, and she has her home always
with the good woman who is now dead
She is a loser in the end
THE interest on the $4,000 would not
be as much as she would receive in
the employ of Mrs. Stanford, living?'

MISS BERNER INTERVIEWED.
Detectives Callundan and Reynolds
of San Francisco, who came yesterday
on the Alameda to take up the threads
of the Stanford mystery, were objects
of interest as they walked the streets
Yesterday That two detectives of
high repute should walk the streets like
anybody else was matter in which
the hoi polloi took decided interest.
Of course the great Pinkerton has been
here. but he merely passed through

were then prepared to ask her ques-
lions. The interview lasted about two
hours.
The detectives then went to the Of
flee of High Sheriff Henry and were
closeted with the latter and the At
torney General for a short time.
The detectives first visited the High
Sheriff shortly before 9. They were
afterwards escorted up stairs to the
District courtroom where police court
was being held. Reynolds met two of
his old friends there-Attorneys ]. ].
Dunno and Douthitt.
In the afternoon they visited China |
town in a hack. 1t was natural to
them to go to Chinatown, for both Of
ffcers have spent a large part of their .
official lives in playing the ferrets in
San Francisco's Chinatown. /
High Sheriff Henry has now handed .
over all the Stanford matter to the
detectives. and will put his attention
TO his own departments matters.
the detectives, not the High
Sheriff will be the men to give out
information-if they should fail into
that notion.

It has been arranged to hold funeral
services over the remains of the late
Mrs. Stanford at Central Union church,
IN Wednesday. March Is, at a. m.
President Jordan may deliver an ad-

cave until 10. All Californians are in
