JORDAN INCENSED.

Dr. Jordan and all those who have
the interests of Stanford at heart are
highly incensed at sensational article
printed in one of the San Francisco pa
pers in which the charge of graft has
been made against those who have had
to do with the construction of the Uni
versity. 1t was claimed that many of
the buildings were merely faced with
stone and constructed mostly of brick.
This is true, but it was necessary to do
this ewing to the fact that the supply
of stone was beginning to run short.
Architectural weaknesses have been
discovered, it is true, which can now be
remedied, but they are weaknesses only
in the face of a great earthquake, and
it is surprising that more damage has
not been done when it is known that
there have been over forty shakes here
in the last two weeks.
The contractor, John McGilvray, who
built the University, also constructed
the Emporium, Flood Building, Call, st.
Francis hotel and also the Alexander
Young hotel of Honolulu.
The published article referred to was
an anonymous one, and since its publi-
cation, investigation by the newspaper
and the authorities here have failed to
reveal the author, but it is presumed to
be newspaper man in Palo Alto.
The following statement by Presi-
dent Jordan, issued shortly after the
earthquake, is authoritative so far as
the University is concerned and gives
in detail the damage done, with the ex-
ception of the $4,000 arch at the en-
trance to the University, which was to-
tally destroyed.

ENTY OF STRUCTURAL

STEEL Is PROMISED.
Six men representing all the allied
companies of the Steel Trust have ar
rived here from the East. The party
assembled in Chicago within a week
after the fire and started for san Fran
cisco in their private car. In the yards
of the American Steel and Wire Com
pany, at Sixteenth and Folsom Streets
they are camping in that car-an oasis
of luxury in the desert of ruins.
The presence of that car with its
cargo of mil}ionaires means that the
work of rebuilding the new city has
already begun. The conferences that
are being held daily are the first steps
in the gigantic task that will make Sam
Francisco sound like 50 many square
miles of boiler shops for the next three
years.
Il is good news that these men have
brought to the city that lies in ashes
the best news for the city that is to rise
from the ruins.
Structural steel is to be furnished san
Francisco for the next three years as
fast as it is needed faster than it
can be riveted together in the frames
of the buildings that are already being
planned. More than that the steel
Trust promises to do. Credits on past
business will be extended, and pay
ments on new orders may be deferred
to the longest limit to which individual
builders can 'egitimately be entitled.

Many stories have been told of
Southern chivalry, but the palm ap-
pears to go to story told by former
governor OF Kentucky while visiting
in this city recently.
According to the narrator a genuine
Kentucky colonel boarded a street car
which was very crowded, and some
how he stepped on the foot of very
pretty woman. OF course the woman
expected the Colonel to apologize, just
as did everybody else who heard her
give a mouselike squeal when the
Colonels foot came down.
And she looked as though she ex-
pected an apology, but the Colonel,
divining her thought, doffed his hat
and said: mo, madam, I'm not going
to apologize. When the good Lord
was so gracious as to make women
so beautiful and charming and with
such wonderfully small feet that a
man has to tramp on them to find
them, then I don't think that an apol-
ogy-"
The compliment was too graceful
for the woman to resist, and all that
followed was smiling acknowledg-

THE DAYS or CANDLES

in these days of electric lights, with
all their capabilities for brilliant IL
Elimination, it is amusing to read what
the subjects of George II. considered
a dazzling effect. A Frenchman Wis
iting in London at the time of the
coronation of that monarch in 1927,
writes enthusiastically in praise of
the lighting of the city, as well as Of
a banquet display.
Most of the streets writes Mon
sieur Saussure, "are wonderfully well
lighted. In front Of each house hangs
lantern, or large globe of glass. in
side Of which is placed lamp, which
burns all night. Large houses have
two of these, suspended outside the
doors by iron supports Some even
have four"
How one arc light would have daz-
zled the good people OF that day!
