A SERIOUS ACCUSATION
San Francisco, Jan. i i. A
dispatch from Honolulu says that High
Sheriff William Henry, who was at the
head of the local police when Mrs. Jane
Stanford died there in March last,' has
caused a sensation in the Island capital by
the assertion that the death of Mrs.
Stanford was brought about in the inter
est of Stanford University; that he believ
esthat Mrs. Stanford was murdered. "
I believe," he continued, ' "that Dr.
David Starr Jordan thinks this way. He
is a science crank. He is all ' wrapped
up In science and thinks of nothing else.
The Stanford University at the time
of Mrs. Stanford's death was In most
urgent need of money. When Dr. Jordan
and Hopkins were here to investigate th
qause of Mrs. Stanford's death, the real
purpose they were working for was to
create the belief that Mrs. Stanford ' died
from natural causes and was not murder
ed. I told them to their facee that was
what they were trying to do."
. EXPECTING TROUBLE-
Washington, Jan. 12. There Is a strong
belief that the Government of the United
States has a double object in view In or
dering reinforcements for the troops in the
Philippine Islands. The officials, usually
silent as to reasons for orders starting in
their nature, apparently were willing
that the impression should go abroad tha
the sending of the First and Second In
fantry and two batteries of .artillery to
th Philippines was necessitated by ' the
prospect of trouble in China.
In case of another Chinese outbreak
more troops than are at present In the
Philippines would be needed, but th real
truth of the matter that th Government
is desirious of having additional soldiers
in the island possessions in case of trou
ble nearer Manila than is Pekin.
