WEST COAST STORM FURY 1S ABATED ‘Waves Dash Over Buildings| . in Record Tide—Sailor Killed on Warship. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, December 13— Partially clearing weather was promised for the Pacific Coast today after a Period during which it experienced tains of Northern and Central Cali- fornia, 30 inches being repo: Summit, in the high Slerras. Some of the highways in Siskiyou Cbunty, at the northern end of the State, were under four feet of snow. Railroad lines re- mained open. High wind struck the Sacramento Valley yesterday, tearing | down trees, fences and two small build- | ings. Other parts of Central California | were drenched with rain. | _ Rain, driven by wind, visited parts of Southern California. ‘Two _battleships of the Pacific fleet, which had been out for gunnery practice, were driven into port at San Pedrio, one bringing the | body of a seaman who had been killed and the other to make repains to dam- aged rigging and booms. Robert Hart of Berkeley. Va, of the U. S. S. New York was the victim, being crushed to death between a small boat and the side | of the ship. | The battleship Arizona came in for repairs to her rigging and to unload a rted at | Oreg. - THE EVE highest tide in the history of Newport, ., swept the beaches yesterday. ‘The unusual noise of the incoming tide attracted hundreds of persons. Great rolling breakers swept wreckage more than 100 feet farther up the beach than at any time in recent years. The breakers lashed the natatorium, throwing water over the tops of the buildings. Rock pinnacles and sand banks that had weathered many storms tumbled into the sea. Fishermen said the tide was 14 feet. Re-elected B. & 0. Chief.

By the Associated Press. Aeronautical development is felt now even in the field of high explosives and naval gunnery, and “aviation ordnance” has become a recognized branch of the | Navy's technical services. Anti-aircraft batteries for battleships, improved airplane flares and torpedo and bomb racks for airplanes and new | parachute release devices furnished much of the material for the annual Navy. “Special attention during the year,” the report said, “has been direct- ed toward the improvement of pro- jectile fuses, bomb fuses, tracers, pro- jectiles, torpedoes, mines, smoke-pro- ducing’ devices, aircraft flares, pyro- technic signals and aviation ordnance.” The report stated that naval factories produced daily 10,000 pounds of smoke- less powder, or 3000000 pounds for the year. Special emphasis has been laid on the construction of underground am- munition storage magazines as a pre- caution against accidental explosions. Father and Son Sentenced.
