STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Slarch 29. —
The junior class of Stanford University
will appear to-morrow night in As
sembly Hall in the annual class opera
of the third-year students. The piece
which will be produced is a catchy bit
of local music, woven about a familiar
college setting:, composed by \V. G.
Bateman '07, registering- in the depart
ment of chemistry from Salt Lake
City, and entitled "Stanford — The Life
Strenuous." The present junior class
contain^ same of the best talem in col
lege, and a high-grade show Is ex
pected. Miss Hazel L Moise and Miss
Claire C. Pedlar, both of San Francisco,
\u25a0u-ill take the leading roles. They have
taken part in class productions before.
J. M. Ward '07 and R. S. Kellogg '07
will take the leading male parts. Jack
Darling and Harry Careless, respec- 1
tively. j -*?*
The plot, which is centered about the
Btanford campus at the time the annual
festivities are in full swing, takes up
the predicament of the hero. Jack Dar
ling, who has invited his fiancee, Gwen
dolyn THpp, to attend the "junior prom,"
which is the 'important function of the
year. In the meantime he is arrested
for "lifting" silver ware at a hotel in
Ban Francisco, and wires to his frater
nity brothers to help him. They at
tempt to save him from the predica
ment, substituting a fellow classmate
as the real Jack. Jack turns up, and
the complexity of the plot thickens, but
is finally cleared. The story is appro
priate, as the junior opera is i part of
the regular programme of which the
junior prom is a part. The cast is as
follows:
Jack DarHr.*, J. M. Ward '07: Harry Care-

Preparations for an Active
Campaign in Thirty-Sev
enth Assembly District
FEED .JONES IN PERIL
Colonel Forbes of the North
Is Organizing a Large
Syndicate of Newspapers
Politicians are hinting: that A. Ruef
Intends to make trouble ;fo.r- Arthur G.
Flsk, William J. Ruddle kand v George
D. Clark in the Thirty-seventh Assem
bly District. If Ruef should happen to
get the upper hand in that district Fred,
Jones/p rospects of re-election, to the
Legislature would not foe improved.
More than a little . significance is at
tached to a call for a meeting at Young
Men's Hebrew Hall on Page street," near
Stanyan, for the ostensible purpose
organizing the Western '" : Improvement-
Club. The evening of April 5 Is des
ignated as the time for the meeting.
Leaders In the movement for progress
are Ben Salomon, J. C. Calrne; Dr. Sals
field and J. J. Donovan. The last
named was chief clerk in the Sheriff's
office under Peter Curtis. In \u25a0 the lower
end of the Thirty-seventh Bob- Dennis
and the Gallaghers are said to be mass
ing under the banner of Ruet; A'sim
ultaneous; advance " from \u25a0 both lends
against the center, where Fisk is in
trenched, may be contemplated. \ -
Las; summer Postmaster Fisk went
In and wrested control of the old Re
publican county committee lrom Ruef
and delivered the goods through Herrin
to the organizers of the fusion cam
paign. Ruef is obviously getting. ready
to Invade' the Thirty-seventh and re
taliate. .It is surmised ' that : , Senator
Wolf and Charles Morris of the Thirty
eighth will extend sympathy, if not
help, to the Ruef forces in the Thirty
seventh. ~\
NO RAILROAD CANDIDATE.
The contest in the Thirty-seventh
will not have special bearjng on the
gubernatorial contest.' Hcrrin will
stand a good chance, of controlling the
delegation if Fisk and Huef break even
or either wins out. At the present time
the Southern Pacific has no candidate
for Governor, but this apparent apathy
does not signify that a. Republican dele
gation from the Thirty-seventh or any
other Assembly district would, not be
acceptable at railroad headquarters.
Delegates chosen to nominate a Gov
ernor may also have the privilege of
nominating Railroad Commissioners
and members of the State Board of
Equalization. The Southern .! Pacific's
definition of a sauarc, honest delega
tion is one that will take , the entire
programme at the first station and go
the whole route. It remains to be seen
whether a delegation of that kind from
the Thirty-seventh can be delivered.
The views of: Colonel E. A. Forbes. of
Tuba will surely count for something
in the. political campaign this year. It
is rumored that he intends to organize
a formidable newspaper syndicate. -He
now owns or controls" the Marysville
Democrat and Marysville Appeal, the
Chlco Enterprise and the Chlco
Rumor goes that he is negotiating for
the purchase of a newspaper in Colusa
and one in Orovllle. \u25a0" W. P. Hammon,
the "gold dredger king," who*" Is re
ported to be Colonel Forbes' choice for
Governor, is said to be richer than
Warren Porter of Santa Cruz.
HAVES HOLDING BACK.
In reply to an inauiry The Call can
state v that the name of J. O. Hayes of
Santa Clara was not embraced In the
list of aspirants for the Republican
nominatioa for Governor for the rea
son that he has not authorized any one
to announce his candidacy. Four years
ago at Sacramento the .J. 0.. Hayes
lightning rod was visible .from every
section of the convention hall. For a
few seconds the gubernatorial lightning
zigzagged above the rod; but- did not
strike it. Perhaps at this time J. O.
Hayes figures that his brother. E. A.,
may want another term in Congress,
and therefore it might be prudent as
well as profitable for one of the broth
ers to remain at home. Moreover, the
Hayes brothers are young men and
California Is not half developed.
As a stopkgrowcr. and Judge of cattle
E. B. Edson of Slsklyou has achieved
deserved renown, but as an aspirant for
gubernatorial honors he has yet to win
eminence. 'Four years ago he was de
luded by his managers' into the belief
that a majority of the delegates in the
convention heartily desired his nomina
tion. The truth was not revealed to
him until Edson and some of Edson's
coin were separated. Henry T. Oxnard,
an aspirant for a seat in the United
States Senate, subsequently made a
similar mistake. Revelation of the er
ror-did not enlighten him untlPhe had
expended a considerable sum of his
money. . \u25a0 .

Jacob Cossmann was brought back from
New- Orleans yesterday morning by De

passing a fictitious check. In February
last he passed two ; checks for $75 each
on Haas Brothers^ cqnfOcticners, and one
for $C 0 on Clarence Culnian, the .hatter, all
drawn on the American National Bank.
He fled and was captured in New Orleans.
:- A few. days ago .Cossmann,- on reaching 1
the age of 31' years, "'becamee came heir to 120,000
marks left him by a' rich' -jncle' '.n Ger

here thatshe was going, to, Germany to
claim I ithe'o inheritance and borrowed
money from. them to pay his expenses. He;
Aid not consider the amount sufficient, and
passed the fictitious' checks.
Cossman was sent ; here from' Germany
by .his people to, get him away • from . evil
companions. \u25a0> He . received regular remit
tances, but-.tb increase his income he re
sorted to forgery, and in 1902 he was con

*A few. months .ago" Cossmann cut a
merry swath in'the city, not only among
the . social" contingent ' and >\u25a0' medicos, but
also those who trail , along; the rosy path.
For. some time .:he ; posed as Dr. Graef.
Under this : cognomen he visited many of
the leading social : families of^lthe city.
And J under this~ name he became friendly
with the' physicians of St. 'Francis Hospi
tal.-Here-he-courted-and won the affec
