The three cruisers-the flagship Ten

as i.aturally as if they were fixtures IN
side the breakwater. Shortly after day
light a fourth vessel of Uncle sam s

Justin is a veteran in this service, and
she gave the California her supply be-

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March
17.-Twefve students were suspended
today by the faculty committee on
student affairs of Stanford university
as a result of the unusual demonstra-
ton last week in which 800 undergrad
yates showed their disapproval of the
prohibition edict.
The students for the greater part arc
prominent upper-class men, and their
dismissal has caused one of the biggest
sensations in the history of undergrad
uatism.
In explaining the radica' action of his
committee Chairman Lal publishes
statement, as follows:
"At a meeting of the student affairs
committee. March n, 1908. twelve stu
dents were suspended from the univer-
sity for the remainder of the present
semester for participation in the So
called parade of Thursday evening,
March Il. 1908.
THE committee finds three offenses
in the conduct of the so-called parade
of Thursday evening:
a. The action of the men concerned
on the premises of member of the fac
ulty.
20. The procession through the IL
brary.
"S. The proceedings in Memorial
court.
"The committee finds the students in
the demonstration generally seemed
disposed to regard it as a means OF
protest against the recent committee
letter on the drinking question. The
committee takes no stand against the
protest and dissent as such. expressed
in a proper manner, but as representing
the disciplinary authority of the uni
versty the committee fells impelled to
state that 1t cannot tolerate offenses.
or insulting conduct or rowdyism as
method of dissent.
"The committee realizes that indivtd-
uaIs who take part in such a demon
stration differ greatly in their conduct
and intentions, but since it finds no
practicable and certain means of dis
eliminating between individuals, it inn
poses an equal penalty on all partici-
pants identified"
A meeting of the student body was
held tonight, at which a petition was
drawn up and signed by the. 300 stu
dents present and who took part in the
parade The petition states the twelve
students suspended were no more
guilty than the 300 who signed their
names, and said they had participated
in the parade. The meeting was at
tended by about 1000 students.

FIGHTING BOB" FAVORS LONG
STOP AT SAN PEDRO
David Evans Brings Word Direct from
Admiral Evans That Inspires
Local Committee-Court
House Reception

According to David Evans. chairman
of the Santa Monica bay reception
committee, Admiral Evans great fleet
will reach San Pedro harbor April IL.
and the fighting admiral wishes to stay
about ten days, if possible.
This welcome news was delivered to
the executive committee of the fleet
reception committee of Los Angeles at
its meeting at the NJ. and M. rooms
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Evans had just returned from
Magdalena bay. where he talked to the
admiral about the reception plans here.
He says he found Fighting Bob much
interested in Southern California and
very anxious to spend as much time as
possible in the salubrious climate. Ac-
cording to the present intentions of
Admiral Evans the fleet will clean up
ready for sea after it's target practice
April 5.
1t is his intention to leave on that
date from Magdalena bay and he in
tends to reach San Diego April at 3
o'clock in the afternoon. He will re-
main there until Saturday, April IL,
when the entire fleet will steam to
San Pedro harbor. Probably on Sun
day there will be single line parade
of the warships along the coast, pass
ing Long Beach, Redondo, Ocean Park
Santa Monica and all the other beach
towns. Turning at the end of the pa
rade, the fleet will drop one division
of four ships at each place, where they
will remain until they steam for Santa
Barbara and Santa Cruz.
Mr.. Evans reported that the admiral
was well informed as to the welcome
being prepared for him and expressed
the hope that he and the officers and
men of the fleet would be able to do all
they could for California in return
the parade feature he regarded as one
of the returns" for the hospitality,
but expressed the hope that he would
be able to do much more.
Has Plenty of Time
Leaving Magdalena bay April s. Ad-
miral Evans will have twenty-five days
in which to reach San Francisco should
he wish to enter the northern port on
the tenth anniversary of Dewey's vic
tory at Manila-May l. Should he not
desire to reach San Francisco before
May s. the date fixed by the committee
of that city as the reception date, he
will have one month along the Cali
fornia coast. This will give him ample
time to spend about ten days in Los
Angeles. which seems to be his wish.
This news from Mr.. Evans corrobo-
rates the special dispatch to The Her
aid, fixing the dates given by Mr..
Evans by the admiral and which were
published yesterday morning.
This leaves the executive committee
much freedom i'm making its arrange
ments. 1t is determined to have the
