STANFORD ALUMNI
SUPPORT STUDENTS
Resolution Asks Committee That
Suspended Men May Re-
instate Themselves
Report Condemns Penalty as
Excessive, While Deploring
Features of Parade

Nearly zoo alumni of Stanford univer-
sity attended meeting last night in
Jefferson Square hall to consider the
report of the special committee ap-
pointed a week ago to investigate the
recent breach between the faculty and
students of the institution.
After adopting the report the alumni
passed a resolution requesting the COM
mittee on student affairs to permit stu
dents who desire to reinstate them
selves TO do so upon giving proper as-
surances of submission to university
discipline.
Copies of the committees report,
together with the resolution, are to be
sent to the board of trustees. the presi-
dent of the university, each member of
the student affairs committee, the presi-
dent Of the associated students and the
executive committee of the alumni as
sociation.
The committee of investigation. con-
sisting of Louis s. Beedy, C. NJ Fickert,
P. NJ. Downing and DR.. A. B. Spaulding.
was made permanent and authorized to
continue Its efforts TO settle the contro-
versy.
In order to prevent a recurrence of
the trouble the alumni adopted a recon-
mendation that the presidents confer
ence should request the alumni associ-
alton to appoint representatives TO be-
come members of the body.
The committees report declares that
the demonstration of March II was not
a protest against the efforts to rid the
university of drunkenness. but against
Chairman Clark and antiquities of the
committees statement
The committee deplores certain ac-
tions of the students, but states that
the stand taken by Ciark's committee
was out of keeping with the seriousness
of the offense and condemns the punish
ment given as unjust. The final con-
clusion reads:
I'm view of these facts we condemn
the action of the student affairs COM
mittee and consider the penalty infiict-
ed excessive and out of proportion to
the offenses committed"

HEIRS OF ADOLPH SUTRO
RESUME LEGAL COMBAT
Dispute Over the Rebuilding of
the Cliff House Is Carried
Into Court

Another round in the fight between
the two factions OF brothers and sisters
who are heirs of the late Adolph Sutro
was fought out In Judge CofYey's court
yesterday. 1t related TO the application
of DIR. Emma Sutro Merritt, executrix of
the estate, to spend $4,000 in addition
TO the $47. 600 insurance money in re-
building the Cliff house Associated
with DIR. Merritt in the family quarrel
is her brother, Charles Sutro. while op-
posed to them are the other children of
Adolph Sutro-Mrs. Kate Nusbaum, who
arrived a day or two ago from Ger
many; Mrs. Rosa v. Morbio. Mrs w. J.
English and Edgar Sutro-
The four heirs who are opposed to
DR.. Merritt and her brother. Charles.
were represented by Garrett W. Me-
Enerney and Charles S. Wheeler.
McEnerney said that his clients did
not oppose the use of money from the
estate for the rebuilding of the Cliff
house. but that they demanded some
voice in deciding how the money should
be expended.
Judge Coffey pointed out the advan-
tages of rebuilding the Cliff house of
concrete rather than of wood. the place
having been twice burned down already.
Finally he took under advisement the
petition for leave to spend $4,000 in
addition to the insurance money.

Among the horsemen at Emeryvilie
yesterday there was nothing but sym

From Stanford Until April 10

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April L.
The announcement made yesterday by
DIR. w. F. Snow of the department of
public health of Stanford university
that over 200 students would not be al
lowed to continue with their academic
work until April Is.
The men have been notified that they
must be vaccinated at once. They will
not be allowed to enter college until
April S in order that the students here
may not be exposed in any way to any
cases of smallpox which may arise
among the unvaccinated.
An additional case of the disease was
found today. but as the student infected
had returned to his home in San Jose
last week. before the disease reached
its determinate form, it is not antici-
pated that any more students have been
exposed.

REFS TRACT NOW IS
AT MERCY OF FIRE
Last Drops OF Water Let Run to
Waste by EmpIoye of
Company
Strong Protest of Residents
Leads to Petition Urging That
Pipes Be Confiscated

With the big water supply reservoir
empty and the last gallon of liquid
drained from the pipes and mains by
the County Line water company. the
houses of the Refs tract were abso-
lutely without fire protection yester-
day and last night and the 800 OF more
families that make their homes on the
San Mateo county line are dependent
upon about 20 private wells for drink
ing water.
The water, according TO a notice
served several weeks ago. was shut
off at o'clock Tuesday evening. Yes
terday the engineer of the station
opened a hydrant at the lower end of
the town TO drain the pipes and what
little water remained in the bottom
of the reservoir.
CROWD UTTERS PROTEST
A crowd OF indignant Refs tract resi-
dents gathered and entered a yigor-
Gus protest at what appeared to them
to be a useless waste. Heated words
were exchanged with the water COM
pany employees. but rumors of clashes
between armed men proved groundless.
T. B. Potter, president and chief own
er OF the concern. has asserted that
he was losing thousands OF dollars
annually in supplying water to the
residents of the tract at the rates fixed
by the supervisors. Potter says he
has offered many concessions to prop
erty holders, but none of them has
been accepted. In a statement issued
yesterday Potter repeated his offer to
donate his plant to the city provided
the city would furnish water at the
rates fixed by the supervisorial board.
PROPERTY OWNERS SIDE
On the other hand. some OF the prop
erty owners maintain that when Pot
ter sold them the land on which they
have since built their homes he verbal
" guaranteed them a first class water
supply. although their contracts pro-
vide only for the laying of street
mains. They argue that instead of
losing money Potter has made money
rapidly during the time he has operated
the water plant and they offer to show
figures to bear out their assertions
A movement to have the city assume
the responsibility of furnishing water
to the tract was started yesterday aft
ernoon. when a petition requesting the
supervisors to eonfiscate the pipe lines
of the water company was drawn up
and presented TO the property owners
for signing.
Edward Jarvis, president of the con-
sumers' association. took the matter up
with Chairman DIR. A. Fl. Giannini of
the supervisors public utilities commit
tee and will have the petition in shape
TO be presented at the meeting of the
board Monday. At a meeting to be held
tonight by those affected the matter
will be discussed by prominent men
who have been advocating municipal
ownership of all public utilities.

Out With the
AdenOids

CAT least two-thirds of all
cases of earache and, indeed,
hve-sixths of all cases of deaf
ness in children are due to
adenoids. They also cause
arrested development and ap-
parent stupidity" So says
DR.. Woods Hutchinson, in this
weeks issue of THE SATUR-
DAY EVENING POST.
Back in your throat, and so
high up that you can't see it,
there is a place that says,
"Welcome, adenoids." But
if your children are keeping
these undesirable guests you
should get them out of the
way, without return ticket.
A prominent educator says:
When ] hear a teacher say
that child is stupid, my first
instructive conclusion is either
that the child has adcnoids or
that the teacher is incom-
petent."
By a very simple operation
these adenoids are removed,
and many suffering, "dull"
children are restored to health
and mental vigor.

the South DO understand each other
better now, but it must be recalled
that in those days even members of
the same household were divided on
the questions at issue, and the state

President Lincoln, but gave the Con
federacy President Davis. Lincoln
went north to a life of struggle and

went to the south, to the governor

Thanks mainly to the martyred
President William Mckinley, and to
the incidents of the Spanish war,
nearly all sectional feeling enge1der-
ed by the Civil war has been wiped
out in the United States. During the
administration of Theodore Roose-
welt the captured Confederate flags
have been returned, and in a special
message to congress only two weeks
ago the President declared that the
men of the North and the men of the
South alike valiantly battled for the
right as it was given each to see the
right.
