THE intent of the universities is to
confine their work to their proper func-
tion-professional. technical, educa-
tional and research training. The two
years of the junior college must be
given In some other place; 1t does not
matter where. so long as it is well
done. OF these possibilities there are
several:
-First-The small college. This is,
on the whole, the best place. 1t would
then have two Acknowledgements cul-
ture and preparation for the unfversi-
ties. those destined for the latter to
leave at the end of the sophomore year.
In California the change at Stanford
would strengthen the small colleges
and would enable them to raise money,
ceasing at last to be small They would
then become feeders, instead of rivals
of the large Institution.
"Second-The junior college. col
legiate institution or an academy could
graduate students without degrees at
the end of the sophomore year.
Third The polytechnic schools
could do the same with engineering stu
dents. Some of the best private schools
could easily be raised to junior col
leges.
"Fourth-The state normal schools.

In the large cities. These would do two
years work beyond graduation; all this
work, except classics, is now done In
the Los Angeles Polytechnic, and nearly
all (mechanic arts and the like ex-
cepted) by the Los Angeles high school.
A separate building and few more
teachers would carry the students
through the sophomore year. 1t is for
each city to decide whether 1t wishes
to pay for a supplemental high school
or not.

give UP the junior college work and to

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April g.
President David Starr Jordan of Stan

today, explained more fully his plan
to completely revolutionize the lower
class work of this university by either
eliminating the freshmen and sopho-
mores from the curriculum or establish
a preparatory college. According TO
the executive head of the university no
additional tax burden will be shifted
upon the high schools by this plan.

fense, and show of sentiment in op-
position to the immunity contracts

OF supervisors were features of the
first days session OF the third trial or
the streetcar company's official before
Judge Lawlor yesterday.
Assistant District Attorney John
O'Gara, who single handedly conducted
the initial proceedings for the state,
made the promise of new evidence
when one of the talesmen raised the
technical point that he considered Ford
had been placed in jeopardy once be-
fore.
A. A. Moore. senior counsel for the
defense, took occasion to utter slurs
on the integrity and honesty of Judge
Ben Lindsey, the famous innovator OF
the juvenile court of Denver, Colo, and
Judge Samuel r. Artman, the Chicago
temperance orator, who recently con-
tested sharply with Judge Beatty the
variance between moral and statutory
law. The attorney-did not mention the
names of these two public men. but
there could be no doubt of the objects
of his insidious attack. The passage
came during the examination of John
d. Mansfield. the first juror provision
ally accepted.

COOPER COLLEGE
Addition of Medical School and
Lane Hospital Strengthens
This University
Enrolment at San Francisco In

Immediately
SPECIAL DIsrArcH TO THE CALL

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April p
Cooper medical college and Lane hos
pital of San Francisco have been added
unconditionally to Stanford university.
The announcement of the transfer was
officially made today.
With the addition of Cooper college
and Lane hospital the Stanford medical
department will outrank that of
any institution on this coast and will
rival many of the great eastern uni
versities. The details of the medical
course will be decided upon by the
academic council of the faculty. DR..
Jordan has prepared a working plan
which will probably be followed very
closely in the administration of affairs
at the San Francisco institution and in
the. preparatory department here. This
will be fully outlined later
The students who are at present en-
rolled at Cooper will not come under
the control of the university. but will
complete their courses under the old
faculty and management. No new stu
dents. however, will be enrolled at
Cooper after September. 1908,
As soon as the class sof 1912 grad
yates the faculty ana directors OF
Cooper viii resign and transfer the
school with all its equipment and en-
dowGlent to the board of trustees OF
the university. Many of the present
Cooper faculty may be reappointed
under Stanford control
Beginning next year students will
be permitted to register at stanford as
medical majors and it is probable that
members of the present freshman class
will be permitted to change their
majors to medicine If they so desire.

tion, says:

best schools of its type, an institution

NO ILL EFFECTS
Taft Feels Happy and is Now a Full Pledged Steam
 Shoveler.

Cincinnati, O., July 29.-William H. Taft will remain at the Taft resi- dence throughout the day and leave with Mrs Taft and General and Mrs Henry c. Corbin for Hot Springs, Va, tonight. MT Taft this morning said he felt no effect whatever of the ex- ertion of notification day. His voice, which had undergone considerable strain, was not husky.
 The first thing on the programme with MT Taft to-day was a confer ence with Arthur l. Vorys, his chief of staff. The understanding reached yesterday whereby Ohio will get the benefit of the work of the national committee in the same manner as all other states, brings up many things for present discussion. This decis- ion was joyfully received by state leaders.
 MT Taft was early to-day formally made an honorary member of the Steam Shovelers' union. The induc- tion into membership took place at the Taft home and was conducted by a committee from the shovelers' organization.

SEVERED HAND MYSTERY.
Men Engage in Fruitless Search for
 Body of Victim.

Granby, July 29.-The people of Granby and East Granby are still dis cussing the mystery connected witE the finding of severed right hand near the railroad. tracks a little north of the East Granby station last Friday. Men have searched the woods near the tracks for some trace of the man to whom the hand be- longed and dogs have bee. employed but nothing has been found which gives any clue to the matter.
 Yesterday party of twenty-five men with several dogs spent the day in a vain search for the man whose hand was found Friday, and yester- day another party was sent out, but nothing has been found. When the hand was first found trace of blood was thought to be visible from the place where the hand lay to a poin. in the woods not far away, but the rain of Friday and Saturday removed that. ..
 There are many theories for the strange find, but none of them seems to fit in with the facts available. Some persons think that the owner of the hand had committed some serious crime and that he voluntarily put his arm on the track and allowed his hand to be cut of so that his physical appearance might be changed. Against this can be urged the fact that no sane man would sacrifice his right hand in any such matter or run the chance of being caught at 1t, as all of the passenger and most of the freight trains over the line pass through the town by daylight. The theory that the victim might have been a tramp who fell from a freight car, is opposed by the fact that tt. hand was apparently that of a man who cared for his finger nails. It is the opinion of most persons in town that the victim wandered away into the woods and finally bled to death.
