r. Stubbs spoke in the auditorium
here last night to a fair sized audience
and many of his points were heartily
applauded. He dealt largely with the
issues represented by Roosevelt and
Taft and defended the measures he
advocated in the last session of the
legislature some of which became
laws. While the sentiment here is
probably more pronounced for Leland,
Mr.. Stubs created a friendly feeling.
Very few farmers were in attendance.

MRS. MARTIN WILL
CROSSKAM|NF SON
More Apt to Shake Baby
Johns Testimony Than Any
One Else, Says Lawyer

OAKLAND, Aug. Mrs. Isabella j.
Martin will have her way and will be
allowed TO conduct the cross examina-
tion of Baby John Martin, her fos-
ter son, on whose testimony she was
held for trial In the superior court on
a charge of blowing up Judge #. B.
Ogden's house. Attorney Burton Wy
man. who was appointed by Judge
Wells to defend Mrs. Martin, after she
had failed to engage an attorney for
herself, made the announcement today.
The issues involved In this case"
said Wyman, "and covered by Baby
Johns testimony at the preliminary ex-
animation are so wide and the rami-
fications are so minute that with her
personal knowledge of the facts, Mrs.
Martin is better able to cross examine
the boy than any attorney could be.
The transcript of the testimony filled
500 typewriter pages and 1t would re-
quire two months study for an attor-
ney to thoroughly familiarize himself
with all the testimony Mrs. Martin
has been studying II steadily. Her own
unaided preparations for trial have
been marvelously painstaking"
Wyman was asked regarding Mrs.
Martins ability to cope with the legal
aspects OF the questioning and was con-
fident that she would be equal to the
task.
Make no mistake about Mrs Mar
tins mind" he said, 'for she has a
remarkable mentality With coaching
she will be able to hold her own, and
am confident that she will shake the
boys testimony IL 1t can be done"
From other sources it has been
learned that developments of interest
VIII ensue at the trial

|PI BETA PHIS TO
BUILD NEW HOME
Stanford University Sorority
Will Erect Chapter Hall
on Campus
Trustees Attempt to Revoke
Lease, but Are Persuaded
to Abandon Plan

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. L.
The Stanford chapter Of the Pi Beta
Phi sorority is contemplating the erec-
tion of new chapter house on the
campus. At present the members live
in Salvatierra street in the leased
house which has been used by them
for a number OF years.
Some time ago the local chapter put
in an application to the university
authorities for a lease on the lot OF
ground directly below and northeast of
the Gamma Phi Beta house in Lasuen
street. The board of trustees has
granted the lease, extending over a
number of years.
The Pi Beta made plans for imme-
diate construction Of the building and
were surprised to learn that their
lease was in danger OF being revoked.
1t seems that Charles Lathrop was In
the east when the lease was signed.
The board of trustees supposed that 1t
would be perfectly in order TO grant
the lease, but on the return OF Lath-
rop 1t was learned that there had been
other plans for the disposal of the lot
and the lease was therefore to be re-
voked. The Pi Betas. however. took
their lease to lawyers and were as
sured that 1t could not be revoked in
any such summary manner. When af-
fairs assumed this aspect the idea OF
revoking the lease was abandoned by
the authorities.
Work has already begun on the chap
ter house and Will be rushed to compile
tion as soon as possible. the idea be-
ing to move In toward the latter part
of November. The house will be two
stories and a half and will have Is
rooms 1t has been planned along dis
tinctly original lines by Architect Ben
