STANFORD GOODS
RESENT ED|CT
UP IN ARMS AT NEW RULES
MADE BY DEAN OF WOMEN
STUDENTS.

San Francisco, Dec. 9.-Seven fresh
cardinal sins have been enumerated
and marked for avoidance in the deca-
lOgue of Stanford university by Mrs.
EVeline Wright Allan, dean of women
students. AS a consequence the goods
are up in arms at what they call an
attack of their privileges, their dig
nifty and their taste.
Following are the rules:
Women students must not appear
ON the quad or about the university
buildings wearing froufrou skirts.
Light dresses, and particularly,
peekaboO waists, should not be worn
at university exercises.
Women students must not wear
hosiery of light or pastel shades.
Men and women students must not
stroll together in the evening in
single couples.
Lights in dormitories and house
clubs must be eXtinguished by 10
O'Clock every evening.
Students of the university must
satisfy themselves with fewer social
activities.
All men students calling on women
students in the evening must have
said their good-bys and taken their de-
partures prior to 10 o'clock.

.K|ERAN'S ARREST
IS LOOKED FOR
LIST OF REGULATIONS GROWS
AND MANY SUFFER FROM
HIS DISHONESTY.
AUTHORITIES HAVE WARRANT
AND EXPECT TO LAND
HIM SOON.

PittsDurg, Dec. 9.-Pittsburg police
have had a warrant for the arrest of
P. j. Kieran of the Fidelity Funding
company of New York for the past
three weeks. The affidavit charges
him with larceny and false pretense.
A local charitable institution of the
Roman Catholic church, the name of
which attorneys in the case decline
to make public, is an alleged sufferer
through the populations charged, and
$4,000 and $4,000, According to the
attorney representing the institution,
Kieran placed a loan upon liberal
terms several years ago. When this
loan became due a partial payment
was accepted and the balance re
neWed upon equity liberal terms.
Those managing the institution, how
ever, failed to take up the first note
when the second was given, it is
claimed, and since both have been
presented for payment.
Another local firm of attorneys, it
is reported to the authorities, now
hold claims for collection amounting
to over 100000 against Catholic
churches and auxiliary societies in
this diocese, growing out of loans
placed through Kieran. Whether
these are duplicated and fraudulent,
as charged in the case of the organ
zatiOn which caused the issuance of
the warrant, ha. not been fully es-
tabished, as all the notes and securi-
ties have passed into the hands of
third parties, who have sent them
Eere for collection.
Local police We 'terday heard that
Aieran was in Washington and asked
for his arrest there, but, it is said, he
left the capitol before the me ssage
was received. The authorities last
night said they had information which
leads them to expect Kieran's ar
rest in New York before morning.

MURDER MYSTERY
FROM ST. LOUIS
FRANCIS D. HIRSCHBERG SHOT
IN HALL OF HIS OWN
HOME.

st. Louis, Mo, Dec. 9-FTancis D.
Hirschberg, prominent in the Roman
Catholic church and personal friend of
Archbishop Blennon, also well known
in club and bu-iness circles and as
director of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition, was shot and killed at his
home, 3818 LindeIl boulevard, early
yesterday.
Members Of the family aver that he
was the victim of a burglar. The pO-
lice Investigators take the other view,
declaring that there was no evidence
of the presence of intruders in the
palatial home.
A trail of blood stains on the snow
white stairway leading from the re-
ception hall on the frlt floor indicate
that Mr. Hirschberg was shot at the
foot Of these stairs and then turned
and walked back to his bedroom on
the second floor From there he
crossed a hallway and passed through
his Wife's room to the bedroom. AS
room, Mrs. HirsChberg awoke just in
time to see him sink to the floor I'M
conscious, according to statements
made to the police
Mrs. Hirschberg had her husband
carried to his bedroom where he died.
He made no statement as to how he
was shot. So far as the police could
learn no member of the household
was on the lower floor. 1t was ex-
planned that deafness of long standing
prevented Mrs. Hirschberg from hear
ing the report of the revolver.
Mr.. Hirschberg was a prominent
Roman Catholic layman, and it was
largely through his instrumentality
that the site for the archiepiscopaI
residence adjoining the Hirschberg
home on the west was purcha ed. He
was Archbishop Glennon's closest per
sonal friend among the laity-

TAFT AND CANNON
ARE IN AGREEMENT
SUCH is SUPPOSED TO BE THE
STATUS REGARDING TAR
IFF LEGISLATION.

Washington, Dec. 9-PreSident-eleCt
Taft expects TO have an interview to-
day with Speaker Cannon. In view
of Mr.. Taft's announced determine
ton that the forthcoming revision of
the tariff shall be a thorough work
and that the promises of the party
s,halI be specifically performed with
reference thereto, the interview be
tween the two statesmen attracts par
ticular interest.
Concurrence of opinion between the
two men on this question, which has
come about by the heretofore an
nounced positiveness of the president
elect has led to an unofficial and i'm
personal understanding that both gen
tlemen hold similar views on this sub
ject. The contemplated peruonal in
terview will undoubtedly eradicate
any future uncertainty regarding the
relations that will hereafter exist be
tween the president-eleCt and the
speaker
1t has been represented to Mr.. Taft
that Mr.. Cannon is heartily with m
in carrying out the pledges of the re
publican party and that no cause ex-
lists for the semblance OF a misunder-
standing. Should these representa-
tons prove correct through the test
of a personal interview, it may be CON
ceded without doubt that Mr.. Taft
feels assured that his ideas respect
ing the tariff and other Legislative
promises in the platform will receive
no hostile opposition from the repub-
lican organization of the house in the
G1st cOngre. S.
