to-day rejected the suggestion Of David
r. Francis as a possible Vice Presidential
nominee or as a possible manager Of the
Democratic Presidential campaign. Mr..
Brinton, OF Denver, Colo. one OF the

Bryan in the interest Of the Francis
hackers. Bryan told him that Mr.. Francis
would not be acceptable so far as the
Nebraskan himself is concerned, either
for the second place on the national ticket
or as the campaign manager, because Of
his Standard on interests.
Senator Joe W. Bailey. Of Texas, also

CALL HALT ON JORDAN.
Trustees of Stanford University
CurtafI Power of President

San Francisco, June 26.-By an enact
ment in the annual report of the board of
trustees OF Stanford University. which
will be published shortly, the long reign
OF President David Starr Jordan as the
absolute dictator of the tenure Of office Of
the members of the faculty will be
brought to an abrupt end. Hereafter no
professor can bo dismissed by the head
of the university without the right Of ap-
peal TO the board Of trustees.
The measure is said to be so drastic
that the question OF the competency Of
the faculty members is to be the only
thing left to the discretion Of the presi-
dent. This action on the part OF the
trustees is the direct result Of the recent
dismissal Of DR.. Julius Goebel as the
lead of the department of Germanic Lam
guages. Or. Goebel has the reputation Of
being one Of the most brilliant German
scholars in America. No charges were
preferred against him. and his demands
for a public trial were not granted by
President Jordan.

report that Mr.. Cleveland has made his

They have handled an immense

They are located just south of the
