INSISTSHE WAS POISONED
HONOLULU DOCTORS' OPINION
ON MRS. STANFORD'S DEATH.
They Reply to President Jordan's
Theory and Stand . by" Conviction
That Strychnine Killed Her.
HONOLULU, March 17. Edmund
Shorey, chemist of the United States
Agricultural Station, and Drs. Wood,
.Murray and Uumphris. have signed a
statement replying to Professor Jordan
and Timothy Hopkins, -who recently an
nounced their conclusions that the death
or Mrs. Stanford -was due to natural
causes. They characterize the statement
of these gentlemen as astonishing, and
reiterate their finding that strychnine
was tne cause or the death. They say
that the publication of the Jordan-Hopkins
opinion makes It Incumbent upon
them to reply, and they give the follow
ing reasons why the death must have
resulted from strychnine poisoning:
First Mrs. Stanford died during a char
acteristic strychnine convulsion, which was
ecn by Drs. Humphrls and Murray.
Second A post-mortem showed, rigidity
Identical with that peculiar to cases of this
class of poisoning:.
Third The post-mortem revealed no other
cause of death, from any affection of the
stomach or Intestines. They contained 'no
undigested food and. were in a healthy con
dition. fourth The post-mortem confirmed In
every respect the evidences of authenticated
cases of 'strychnine poisoning:. and these,
combined with, the fact that strychnine was
found in the bicarbonate of soda which was
used by the deceased, furnish a chain of
evidence that will withstand the fiercest as
saults. Continuing, the statement goes on to
discuss the testimony of Miss Berner,
Mrs. Stanford's secretary; of May Hunt,
her maid, and .that of. Drs. HumDhrla
and Murray. It quotes medical author!-''
ties, regarding the symptoms of poisoning
by strychnine, and reaffirms', the posi
tive opinion 'that strychnine ' poisoning
caused the death.
HABBIMA2 STILL FIGHTING.
Objects to Issue of Mandate In North
ern Securities Case.
WASHINGTON. March 17. William P.
Clough, for the. Northern Securities Com
pany, made application to the Supreme
Court today for Issuance of the mandate
in the case of E. H. Haxriman and oth
ers against the .Northern Securities Com
pany In accordance with the decision of
the court Ui favor of the company. He
based It on the; ground that until the
mandate should be Issued, $5,000,000 worth
of property would be tied up by the in
junction of the New Jersey Court and
this was an injustice to the people and
the owners of the property.
Maxwell Evarts, representing the op
posing side, objected to the motion, say
ing that the mandate should not issue
until the opinion of the court in the case
Is handed down. The court took the mat
ter under advisement after directing that
the application of Mr. Clough be printed.
Mr. Evarts' objection to the Issuance
of the mandate was based on the
ground that it would render futile Har
riman's right to petition for a rehear
ing, as the Northern Securities Com
pany intended to Immediately distrib
ute Its assets.

Business Men Refuse to Put Up the
Necessary Money.
HELENA Mont., March 17. At the last
moment Butte got cold feet and this
afternoon announced it would not Join
the proposed outlaw league to be com
posed of Spokane, Boise, Salt Lake. Og
den. Butte and Helena. President W. D.
Fishel, of Salt Lake, and Director C. H.
Williams, of Spokane, arrived here this
afternoon at 2 o'clock from Butte. In an
hour 53000 cash had been put up for a
Helena team and a manager selected.
They were about to call on T. A. Mar
low, who had agreed to put up J3000 if
the citizens put up a like amount, when
they got a telephone message from Butte
announcing that city was out of the
game. When Fishel and Williams left
Butte this morning they had pledges that
Butte would go in. The two left Helena
this evening .for the South with the an
nouncement that the league would have

ATZ' TRUNK8 CAME ON AHEAD
Ballplayers Speculate on Contents of
Shortstop's Saratogas.
BAXER3FIELD, Cal., March 14. Spe
cial Correspondence.) Slowly but surely
the Portland lnflelders are reporting for
duty. Third Baseman Runkle arrived late
last week, and early this morning Harry
Schlafly reached this city after a long
Journey from Ohio.
Three large trunks belonging to Short
stop Atz arrived at the Southern Hotel
this afternoon from New Orleans, and
tonight the ballplayers are speculating as
to their contents. Eddie Householder of
fered to bet that bats and balls were In
the Saratogas, but this guess proved erro
neous, when a Wells-Fargo express
wagon unloaded two large leather bags,
the property of Pitcher French and Atz,
which contained baseball utensils. Little
Jimmy Gleason made a wager for the
cigars with Ell Cates that at least one
of the trunks contained previous averages.
Atz and French were scheduled to play
a big exhibition game with a National
League team at New Orleans last Sun
day. They telegraphed McCredie that they
were, In perfect shape and would leave the
Southern city immediately after the game
for Bakersfleld. The arrival of their bag
gage is taken for granted that the tardy
men will arrive here Thursday morning,
providing no further washouts delay
them.
The Portland players were happv over
the ill-fortune that greeted Mike Fisher
last Sunday. The fierce rain knocked the
baseball game, but the farmers and cat
tleralsers In this city and business men
generally would rather see a rainfall than
a star baseball contest. The Tacoma and
Chicago game, nevertheless, would have
drawn the biggest kind of a crowd, as 1200
reserved tickets had already been sold and
over 1000 other spectators would surely
nave been on hand. The admission price
to the park was o cents, including grand
stand. Although the weather was showery Mon
day, McCredie had all his men on-the field
and they put lp flvp hours of good work.
Today Pitcher Garvin loosened up in great
styie, and Kept some of his colleagues
guessing. St. Vrain went through some
strenuous stations, and all the players
kept busy.
Third Baseman Runkle displays, rare
ADiury in stopping not grounders. He is a
speedy man and exhibits a rare amount of
confidence. Schlafly made his first ap
pearance on second base this .morning, and
though weary from his long journey, re
mained on the field until 5 o'clock this
evening.
McCredie Is working along with his men
in a tireless manner, and it seems likely
that he win occupy one of the field posi
tions throughout the season.
McLean is still on the Initial bat. and
Charlie Coe is being used continuously be
hind the bat. Catcher Swindells is. work
ing out at different points.
McCredie has not yet decided Upon a
field captain. No batting order has been
arranged as yet, and signal maneuvers
have been postponed until all the men
are placed In their regular positions.
Householder is, now at his regular sta
tion In center field, and his actlveness in
running for high ones shows the fine con
dition this husky young man is In. Today
Eddie received -a healthy dividend from
his chicken-ranch property. 20 miles south
of Los Angeles, and was In high spirits.
When not busy playing professional base
ball Householders spends his time In the
chicken coop.

Mr. Frazler says he was entitled to keep
under the law. The expert charged cer
tain uncollected fees against the ex-Sher-1ft
for Sheriffs deeds which he executed.
Mr. Frazler asserts that be did not col
lect these fees because the construction
placed on the statute in operation at that
time by attorneys and others was that
he had no right to do so. Mr. Frazler
on Friday offered to pay 5750 In settlement
of line account. Judge Webster and
County Commissioners Barnes and Web
ster yesterday decided that 52000 would
be about the proper figure. Judge Web
ster admits that there Is a question con
cerning some Items In the report which
he thinks the county Is not entitled to
recover, and he also states that to avoid
trouble and delay the cburt Is willing to
take 52000 and give the ex-Sheriff a re
ceipt In full. Mr. Frazler has not yet
said what he will do In the matter, but
he Is willing to liquidate whatever is
Justly due.
