statement explanatory of the bequest
to Dr. Ellinwood.
By the directors It Is asserted that
the property left to Dr. Ellinwood was
to have been used for a medical library.
In this connection the following ex
tract from the last annual announce
ment issued by the college is of in
terest:
Dr. LaDe further projected the founding of a
medical library in connection with the college,
but Ms nntimpl.v death, *>hruarr 18. 1902. and
that of Mrv. Lane. Ausnict 9, 1002. delayed the
oonstruetion of the buildine. However, a suit
sb'-e cite has been secured and it is proposed
by the directors of the college to erect thereon
a library r-uildliij: as poon as the money devised
by Dr. and Mrs. Lane for this purpose shall be
come available.
RELATION' TO STAXFORD
The demand for the money • was
made upon Dr. Ellinwood about one
year after the death of Mrs. Lane, but
it was not forthcoming. Since then
communications on t":ie subject have
X n =n addressed at intervals to Dr.
*iiinwood. but the replies have not
been satisfactory to the directors.
Finally by unanimous vote two weeks
ago Dr. Ellinwood was ousted from
the presidency of the college for want
of confidence.
The authorities said yesterday that
the college would be fn no way im
paired by its failure to receive the
money which It had expected. Since
the retirement of Dr. Ellinwood. Dr.
Taylor, the vice president, has acted
es president.
Dr. Eilinwood attributed the con
troversy In part to the plan to affiliate
\u25a0with Stanford University. He support
ed the proposal, but said that Dr. Tay
lor was the stumbling block, as he had
been engaged In litigation against Mrs.
Stanford. J Dr. Taylor said yesterday
that the proposal to affiliate -with Stan
ford was In no way connected with
the present trouble.
DIRECTORS' STATEMENT
The statement given out yesterday '
by Drs. Taylor, Gibbons and Rixford
follows:
Dr. Ellinwood. having set out as reported in
The Call of Wednesday, the 20th instant, his
excuse for his having dealt with the Lane
moneys in the manner In wlii<-.U he has. and
bavin? declared that there was at present
"strife und jealousy" existing wniong tbe men
•who had removed biia from tb«* presidency of
Cooper Medical College and from the presidency
of the faculty of that college, and having per
petrated tte libel upon the memory of Dr. Lane,
thet he <Or. Lanei had stated to Ulm that the
men connected with the college were beginning
to develop characeristics which would divert
the institution from the purposes for which he
hsd intended It and that lie himself had some
tear of being removed, it becomes our doty to
ejfe In as brief a form as possible the facts of
*ix. and Mrs. Line had long Intended that
Eli the property they should leave at their death
should go to Cooper Medical College, mainly
for the endowment of the Lane Course o£ Medical
lectures and for the building and maintenance
of a memorial medical library. To that end
thpv made wills giving all of their property to
tfce" college. After these wills were made they
were legally advised that only one-third of their
estate could be disposed of by will for the pur
pose intended and that some other disposition
for the benefit of Cooper College must be made.
If possible. Finally they deemed it best to make
matual and concurrent wills under which each
left all of bis property to the other. It being
understood between them that the survivor
would carry out the^wishes of both.
BEQ.UEST TO A COTJSIX
Dr Lane, having predeceased his wue. all
of his property became Mrs.» Lane's by virtue
of his will made In the . manner before men
tioned. Mrs. Lane thereupon made a new
will wherein, for the purpose of carrying out
the ' wishes of the doctor and herself, and so
that If possible the moral obligation of seeing
to It that all of her property, not only that
which she had la her own right but also that
which ehe bad derived from Dr. Lane by his
will, should be received by the college,
provided in her will that a third of her prop
erty should go to the college for the purpose
of a library and the remaining two- thirds to
a cousin of Dr. Lane, which cousin »t this
tltae was fully Informed of the wishes^ of both
Dr Lane and hie wife.
•\u25a0 Subsequently, by reason of occurrences not
necetsary to be stated, Mrs. Lane thought best
to make another will, wherein she substituted
es to the two-thirds of tbe property "Dr. C. N.
FlUnwood, president of Cooper Medical Ool
lere " ia place of the consln of Dr. Lane, leav
ln* 'a third as before, to Cooper Medical Col
lege for the purpose of the library. The will
last mentioned was probated as the last will
and testament of Mrs. Lane, and under It Dr.
Eliinwood received in money about $90,000 and
In. : addition other properties worth at least
\u25a0Wore than a year after the reception by Dr.
Ellinwood of these moneys and properties left ;
by "Mrs Lane Dr. Eliinwood was asked by the
board of directors as to what he intended to
do about the endowment of the Lane medical
lecture worse— nearly tbe dearest thing to Dr.
Lane's heart at the time of his death. Dr.
rillnwood replied that Mrs. Lane intended that
•he lecture course should be endowed ont of
the proceeds of the Broadway block, and de
clined at that time to make any endowment,
\u25a0i! though be had at that time in cash nearly
fc'iuO.OoO received from Mrs. Lane's estate; and
quite recently be has declared to the directors
that the lecture course was a failure (he alone j
of everrbody connected, with the college b«- 1
ftis of that opinion), and that he did not now
s C least Intend to. endow that course.
t •:? Ff-VD STILL IXTACT
Out of all these great properties received
by Dr Ellinwood he has paid $6000 for the
purchase of J3.000 rolnmes of medical books
(the New York Academy of Medicine, from
whom the purchase was made In the name of
Cooper College, greatly faTorlng the educational
Isr.lrutfcm in the mstter of price); and even
as Jo this, purchase Dr. Ellinwood exacted as
» -condition that the allege .should pay the
freight on the books from New lork. Dr.
::iliawood has also paid $8000 to lecturers In
the Lane medical course, the total of his ex
penditures on behalf of the college amounting
to scarcely more than the Income derived from
the properties received by him: be therefore
today. so far as expenditures by him In the
Interest of the collece are concerned, holds vir
tually Intact all tbe moneys and properties
received from Mrs. Lane's e«tate.
The etatement of Dr. Ellinwood -that in
his annual report as president he stated
•that he •' intended to endow" the Lane
lecture course permanently to the extent i
of about $00,000 Is untrue. At that
time he mentioned no specific sum and merely
etid rhat he "hoped in the near future that
he mitht l>e able to \u25a0 make a permanent en
dowment.' \u25a0
EiLI.WVOOD'S DISMISSAL,
Be. Elllawood's statement that "strife and
3<"*!ac,-r < * , exist between the: men ..who had
tfz>'/tt<'. him from the presidency Is untrue, and
now tliat he is no longer a factor In 'tbe. life of
Cooper Medical College and of Lane Hospital,
never has there been a better feeling among
the men engaged in the work of the college
end lionpltil . than there .Is jww.
"It might be well 1 to Slate that Lane Hospital,
"S*.not an institution Independent of Cooper Mcd-
Ice.l. College, and that all the ftospital, property
belongs to tbe corporation- of -Cooper ; Medical
College, and Is an adjunct of that college, the
hospital being managed by the same board of
directors that manages the affairs of Cooper
Medical College.
We have pone Into the facts, of Dr. Ellin
wood's connection' with the Lune moneys simply
because of Dr. Ellinwood's public statements
which we obrlonsly could not pass by without
refutation. ; Cooper College. has never carried on
Us work for profit either to it or to Its fac
ulty, nor will It ever lower its standards to nny
money basis. Dr. Ellinwood was without a dis
senting vote . dismissed from tils offices because
all confidence in him bad been lpst, and his
further continuance in office would have been
greatly prejudicial to the best Interests of the
college.
REPLY OF ELLINWOOD
After reading the foregoing state
ment Dr. Ellinwood said:
The conclusions arrived at in the signed
articles of tbe Cooper College controversy are
matters of opinion and imagination. Mrs.
Lane's will speaks for itself with more force
and exactness than any one can do by the imag
ination. Tbe courts have SPttled the question
years ago. The Lane medical lectures I have
always advocated and maintained since Dr.
Lane's death. The course of 1000 did not com
mand the attention of the medical profession
nor the Interest of the faculty as It ought to
have done, and probably this is accounted for
by the catastrophe and the conditions then ' fol
lowing. Over 3000 Invitations were 'extended
to the profession to attend the course, and only
hi answers were received, and of these 34 were
acceptances. The attendance at i the lcturs was
very small, greatly to the embarrassment of
the lecturer as well as myself.
After seeing the result of this course, I ex
pressed myself as discouraged for the course of
1907 and advfeed a comprehensive postgraduate
Instruction, which I thought might appeal morn
forcibly to the wants of the medical profes
sion. My advice was not well received and I
said no more about it. Never at any time have
I thought best that the Lane lecture course be
discontinued except for 1907. I have so far
provided for the maintenance of these lectures
and, as I nave frequently announced, I expected
to provide for them In honor of Dr. Lane and
for the advancement of the science and art of
medicine.

Regal Shoe Company In

500,000 of 7 Per Cent Pre
ferred Stock, to Be Used in
Extending Vast Business
BOSTON, Feb. 20. — Not in years have
financial circles t:hown such interest
and curiosity as have been aroused by
the announcement that the great Regal
Shoe Company, which has grown ;3O
phenomenally from a modest beginning
14 years ago, will at once offer for pop
ular subscription 51,500,000 of its 7 per
cent preferred stock. ; Prophecies are
freely made that the invitation will
meet with a ready, wide-spread re
sponse, as a tribute to the high stand-
Ing and uniform prosperity -of the con
cern.
Starting in 1893 as a pioneer tannery
to-consumer institution — a distinct in
dustrial novelty at the time — the com
pany is only following a Regal tradi
tion in its present enterprising step.
With an authorized capital of $5,00Q,,000,
one-half of which is 7 per cent pre
ferred stock and one-half common, |100
par value, full paid and non-assessable,
only three-tenths of the total capitali
zation is offered, according to the an
nouncement. As this 15,000-share issue'
Is not dictated. by any necessity or idea
of meeting any. indebtedness, but solely
for the purpose of enlarging the capa
city of Its factory and, taking care- of
business already in sight, the success
of the plan is trebly -assured.

1007JEIGHTH: STJREET.
SACRAMENTO,- Feb.. 20.—^Governor
Glllett, this "afternoon received Jarge
delegation of : leading men of Berkeley,
Oakland arid Alameda who .are-striv
ing to secure the removal of the capital
from Sacramento to Berkeley. The
Governor admitted to 'the visitors that
there was merit . in the arguments ad
vanced by them, but : refrained from
further committing himself as' to the
proposal. He promised; to give it can
did consideration. Louis Titus, presi
dent of the Berkeley Development Com
pany, delivered an address to the Gov
ernor oh behalf of the delegation.
Prior to the meeting with the Gover
nor the delegation held a conference
with' Lieutenant Governor .Porter, . who
declared that he would contribute 'his
support to the removal provided he was
shown that it could be accomplished
without Incurring ; a burdensome debt
to the State. , Porter , eaid r that the
State, with the capital at Sacramento,
was not exercising the best of economy.
He declared tnat the contention ad
vanced by the delegation concerning
the evident unreasonableness of main
taining headquarters for -State officers
and commissions in San Francisco was
unanswerable. He thought, too, that
Berkeley would be a much . more de
sirable capital in every way than Sac
ramento.
BEE STINGS THE MOVE
While the people of Sacramento are
naturally opposed to the project of hav
ing the capital removed to Berkeley,
they are adept at concealing their re
sentment. The Evening Bee has a
characteristic editorial today, which
says in part: . .' ' ;'; '
For years this Journal has held it would be the
best thing that ever happened to Sacramento if
the State . capital were removed. It has never
had any sympathy for that section . of our cit
izens who, at- every recurring session of: the
Legislature, plead 'with the legislators to be so
kind and good as not to take away said State
capital. There is no danger of the State capital
ever being removed from Sacramento. . The peo
ple of the State would never vote for such an
expensive proposition. .The more is the pity,
however, for the change of the seat of govern
ment from this city would be a benefit to tbe
community. ri'^^Jft \u25a0
WOULD BEAR EXPENSE
The members of the Alameda County
delegation declared after their Inter
view jtoday with Governor Gillett that
they 'were prepared to provide the
building as well as the site for the
capitol if that should become neces*
sary. They dined at a French restau-.
rant this evening and between' courses
discussed the project In detail. Enough
money was represented at the dinner to
Invest the talk about providing a capi
tol free of change to the State with
significance.
• Arrangements, were , completed -this
evening for bringing -members of Ithe
Legislature Interested in ~ the project
to Berkeley on Friday. A special 1 car
will, be provided, and automobiles will
meet the lawmakers at the: Berkeley
station and take them to inspect the
site offered for the capitol.
Among the delegation which waited
on .the Governor today were Mayor
Mott of Oakland, Anson Blake, Robert
Greig, F. TV. Richardson, A. W. McDer

FRANCHISE EXTENSION
PROVIDED FOR IN BILL
Railroad ControL of Sacra
mento River Front
Alleged Motive:
SACRAMENTO, Feb. . 20.— Caminetti
of Amador declared there was a big
centipede in the bill of McCartney of
Los Angeles concerning- the extension
of franchises wheYi it ; came up for
third reading in' the Senate today. The
bill provides that corporations, may
extend : their 'franchises, any time; prior
to their, expiration for: a period of fifty
years from the day of extension. , ;
Caminetti drew attention to the fact
that the franchise of the Southern Pa
cific.- on the Sacramento 'water front
would expire In 1911. He recited how
this franchise had been granted by
legislative act to the Central Pacific
in 1563 and was meant to run. for fifty
years : from the time Its charter was
granted, in ISSI.
Caminetti offered an - amendment* to
the bill providing that: the extension
"in no event shall be construed to pro
long or extend the period?of : any fran
chise or privilege heretofore granted to
any corporation or joint stock company
by legislative act." \
McCartney .declared the amendment
uncalled for and unnecessary. Heated
debate followed, Caminetti .-;i charging
that the j measure was aimed | primarily
to give the Southern Pacific something
that it should not lawfully enjoy. • , .
Wolfe of San Francisco. ended the
debate by moving that s the amendment
be printed in the journal and further
action on the bill be deferred.
