Commuters FEAR
SCHEDULE Change
San Jose to Be Sighted for Los
Gatos Residents; Homes
in Market
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

SAN JOSE, March 10.-A change in
the Southern Pacific schedule which
goes into effect tomorrow will mean
the sale of homes of more than a score
of well to do commuters living in this
city and doing business in San Fran
cisco, according to the statement OF
Attorney A. II. Jarman tonight.
One of the best trains running out
of San Francisco, leaving there at 5:eG
and enabling local people to sit down
at the dinner table in this city shortly
after Z o'clock, will be diverted from
the peninsula line at Los Altos here
after for the accommodation of resi-
dents of Los Gatos and the pretentious
suburban homes along the western rim
of the Santa Clara valley. San Jose
commuters will have to take a slower
train following the Los Gatos train and
will not arrive here until after their
regular dinner hour.
Jarman said that the local commuters
were rather blue over the change, and
il they can not get service as good as
dispose of their homes and move to San
Francisco They believe there is a
scheme afoot to develop the western
part of the valley at the expense OF
San Jose and the eastern side, and will
ask the Chamber OF Commerce to regis
ter a protest.
San Jose also will get the worst OF a
change in the morning schedule. They
will leave this city at the same time
that they always left-7:20--but will
not travel as fast. arriving in San
Francisco at $50 instead of $40. The
price charged the local commuter is
entirely satisfactory and the service
that they have enjoyed heretofore il
praised.

Crothers Explains Defects

STOiu-TS EApldlHS DcIeClS
In his explanation of the state in
which much of the Stanford affairs
were found to exist and of the subse-
quent work necessary to straighten
them out, George L. Crothers said at
the banquet:
1T is true that the act under which
Stanford was founded provided only for
the original founding and contained re-
strictions which would have been un-
fortunate had they not been eliminated
so far as Stanford was concerned The
Founding Grant did not conform in all
respects to the act, but it was in all re-
spects confirmed by a constitutional
amendment drawn by us and amended
so as to meet all possible requirements
OF the university for all time. Until
approved by constitutional amend
ment, Mrs. Stanford's amendments to
the Stanford trust, which constitutes
its charter. were open to question. But
her amendments were subsequently,
carefully revised and their validity was
established by judicial proceeding in
Mrs. Stanford's life time The pro-
visions of the constitutional amend
ment the decree referred to above and
the decree of final distribution in the es-
tate of Mrs. Stanford, and the various
conformatory grants of Mrs. Stanford
establish beyond any question the va
lidity of the title and trusts of Stanford
university.
'The enabling act and founding grant
left the organization of the trustees as
a board in an unsatisfactory condition.
but this was rectified by the comforting
of corporate powers by special act un-
der the terms of the constitutional
amendment. The amendment permit
ted a large exemption OF the university
property from taxation by the legis-
lature, and the university has never
asked for the exemption of any uni
versity property other than the college
buildings, not including any land and
bonds held as part of the endowment.
Enabling Act Transcribed
The legislature passed an enabling
act March 3, 1885, providing legal
means for the endowment of an insti-
tuition of higher learning, such as STAN
ford was to be. This act was passed
at the behest of Senator stanford. 1t
is an explicit law. However, in many
of her acts for the betterment Of the
university Mrs. Stanford transcribed

LoophoIe for Railroads


Another point raised over section II
is wherein it affects only railroad con-
trolled ships engaged in interstate COM
merce or commerce between any points
within the territorial jurisdiction of the
United States. A loophole is given here,
it is contended. For example, a railroad
boat may sail from Pacific coast port
to Vancouver, then to the canal. This
maneuver, it is believed would place
the vessel outside the provision con-
corning ships engaged in interstate
commerce, because it will have touched
at foreign port
Although on the surface it appears
that the bill would prevent a monopoly,
it is seen that lines of the railroads,
such as the Pacific Mail. may use the
canal and in time gain a monopoly by a
reduction of rates because of the sew

Eope Rests in Senate

There is yet hope, they say. that the
senate will force the house to concur
in measure which will protect Amer
lean shipping against foreign interests
and protect Independent companies
against monopoly by railroad steam
ship companies.
One well-known shipping man de-
clares that section IL, concerning the
railroad boats, contains joker. 1t
means, he believes, that it must be
proved that the lines which may be
owned by railroad are being operated
in restraint of trade. He says it will
be difficult matter to prove operation
in restraint of trade in any court, and
more difficult to prove it in the courts
of the canal zone. This, he declares,
nullifies the intent of the section--if
really it was it's intent-to prevent a
probable monopoly by the railroads

Made Known at Banquet

known at tie second annual Founders
day banquet of the Stanford Alumni
association. which was given Saturday
night at the st. Francis hotel. Eng

Backward and Crothers to the toast
The University and the Alumni
The several legislative acts, including
constitutional amendment. which
were passed between the years 1897 and
1905, were for the most part for the
purpose of adjusting the state law in
such particulars that the Stanford
grants would be legal and not subject
TO attack by adverse claimants who
might arise among the heirs of the
founders of the university.
1t was even discovered by Crothers
and his brother that in 1897 Stanford
university had no corporate name nor
existence and that any gifts received
subsequent to the original trust could
not be included in the original endow-
ment fund, but would have to be ham
died as a separate fund by a separate
board of trustees.

Alumni Learn of Danger That
Threatened Institution for
Many Years
COfOunder Had to Make Recon-
veyance of Property to
Protect Endowment

Alumni of Stanford university learned
for the first time Saturday night that
for many years prior to the death of
Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford, cofounder
of the great institution, the validity of
great gifts to the university was in
question, and that the first deed of
trust made by Mrs. Stanford conveying
her immense property to the university
which she and her husband. Senator
Leland Stanford, had founded, was an
illegal document. To protect the in
stitution. Mrs. Stanford had to make an
entire reconveyance of her property.
No adverse action or threats of con-
test were made during the period the
endowment was vulnerable, and before
Mrs. Stanford's death the defenses were
strengthened and made impervious to
assault.
Announcement of the danger that at
one time menaced the university was
made by John F. English, an alumnus,
and was further explained by George
f. Crothers, another graduate of Stan
ford and the only alumnus who is
member of the board of trustees of
the university. English gave to Croth-
ers and his brother, It. G. Crothers,
attorneys, credit for discovering and
rectifying the errors which had crept
into the many documents bearing on

etc.); another of the parks, public buildings, etc.; and so on. In each department the commissioner Is supreme, responsible only to his associates in their collective capaci- ty, and to their representative, the mayor or general superintendent. Each has and exercises the power of selection of his own subordinates, without interference. If a man does not suit the commissioner dis charges him and employs another. If one is faithful and efficient the commissioner advances him when. ever opportunity offers. The busi- ness of the city is run just as are the business houses whose proper ties are taxed to pay the cost of government. The commission it. self is responsible to the people, and as the recall is usually in good working order in the progressive communities which have adopted the system, an incapable and in- efficient commission can be called to account and replaced as readily as a commissioner can oust an in efficient and incompetent subor- dinate.
 Everywhere the commission sys- tenn has been tried it has operated admirably, and it will not be many years before it will be in operation in all of the cities of the United States.
