STANFORD TO REBUILD

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, April 25,
1906.-Because of the havoc wrought by
the earthquake at Stanford University,
and the CONSERVATION felt at the loss in
the surrounding country, it has been de-
cided to discontinue college work until
the beginning of the fall semester.
The following special announcement
has been made by President Jordan as
the result of meeting held by the ad-
yisory board of the faculty:
sin view of the result of the earth
quake of April IS, it's effects on the uni
versity and the community at large, it is
ordered that all class work in Stanford
University be suspended for the rest of
the college year, and professors and in
structors shall report the credits earned
by the members of the classes, as though
the years work were completed.
"Students of doubtful standing may re-
ceive special examinations either at once
or at the beginning of the fall term. No
one should be reported as passed unless
the inspector is certain that each report
is deserved. Each professor will indicate
at once when and where he will meet his
students for consultation or examination.
Students entitled to degrees on the basi;
of the reports received will be granted
their diplomas in due season"
The next term will open on August
%. 1t has been decided to begin imme
diately the reconstruction of the uniyer
sity buildings so that they win be ir
readiness for the opening semester
Quick estimates have been made and il
is thought that 100000 will rebuild fol
all regular purposes the outer and inner
quadrangles. with the exception Of az
arch and memorial church. Roble Hal
will also be restored at once and will not
be at all changed in plan.
1t is impossible to determine al, yet
the amount of loss the university has suf-
fered, but it has been hastily estimated
at between 100000 and $40O. 600.
The great cracks in the walls of En-
Gina Hall have widened as the hugs
building has settled and there seems no
doubt that it will have to be reconstruct
ed from the foundation. In the rebuild.
ing the high chimneys will be omitted, 60
that there will be no risk Of a repetition
Of Wednesdays disaster. in which the
only death among the students was caus
ed by a falling chimney.

July "A. Judge Blair, of the County
Court of Comon Pleas, who will name,
tae new Commissioners, ought to have
no difficulty in selecting the right kind
of men. There will be two Republicans
and two Democrats, on the Board. From
what can be learned Pagan Republicans
and Fagan Democrats who are among
the applicants for Commissionerships will
not be given much consideration. Judge
Blair is an organization Republican, and
while it is not likely that political con
siderations will influence him in the ap-
pointments. it is only natural to suppose
that he will give the preference to Re
publicans and Democrats of the stalwart
kind.

North Hudson friends of Thomas Usher
have not abandoned hope of landing that

they argue that the appointment would
be recognition Of the constant loyalty
of the Democrats of the northern section

While the Faganites are trying to force
a number of faithful fremen out of the
department by pensioning them, they are
grieved to think that Inspector Samuel
Archibald should contemplate retiring on
half pay. They insist that the Inspector
is fully. competent to perform the duties
of that office and declare it is an injus-
tice to the taxpayers that he should go
on the pension list. Funny, isn't it?

The secret of the opposition TO Inspec-

Faganites don't seem to relish the propo-
sition of the Inspector beneatting him
self by retiring from the Jersey City de-
partment. -
