This is a fact; RAIN' GLADDENS THE GROWERS Showers in Northern California. HEAVY FALL IN SECTIONS THE DOWNPOUR COMES AT AN OPPORTUNE TIME. Bouth of Tehachapi There Has Been No Precipitation, but the Indi- cations Are Favor- able. Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Nov. ~Special tele- phone messages rece this morning from points throughout San Joaquin County and from Modesto and Merced show that the rains of last night and this morning have been general all over this part of the valley. In many places the wheat is half in, and the ad- vantage to that and to lands which have yet to be plowed has been great. Up to 10 o’clock reports showed that an average of a half-..ch of rain had fallen. The rainfall at Stcckton amounted to .30 of an inch. SAN JOSE, Nov. 19.—At 5§ o'clock this morning rain began to fall. The fall gradually increased to -a good downpour at 9 o’clock, when it ceased. The fall was .55 of an inch, making the total for the season 2.63 inches. To the same date last year it was 1.21 inches. The rain comes at a most opportune time. Much uneasiness has existed be- cause of the continued clear weather, lest there might be another dry winter. But little plowing has been done in this county. Here and there a few acres were sown to grain after the early rains, but this is generally dead. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19.—The weath- er to-day is cloudy and cold and there are favorable indications for rain, al- though none has fallen. Crops are suf- fering for water and a soaking rain is wanted to start winter operations, Sup- plies of water for irrigation are being carefully hoarded. Dried out fruit trees are in need of rain and oranges require irrigation at times when rains should supply them with abundant moisture. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 19.—There was a generous downpour of rain in this vicinity at an early hour this morning, the precipitation up to 10 o’clock being .40 of an inch. The rain caused general rejoicing, as farmers feared there would be another dry season. On ac- count of the lack of moisture there was a scarcity of feed and stock raisers were complaining. The moisture will not only set the plows to running but will provide green feed for stock. Ship- ments of Tokay grapes are practically ended. MARYSVILLE, Nov. 19.—Early this morning there was & heavy fall of rain, the guages shc -ing .66 of an inch pre- cipitation for the storm, which prom- ises to continue to-night. The farmers are well pleased with the prospects, and the fears that the dry season of last year would be repeated are now allayed. NEVADA CITY, Nov. 19.—Two inches of rain have fallen since 9 o’clock last evening, and the barometer is low. ‘All the mines .f the district have been without water for hoisting and milling since the 1st inst., and had been noti- fled that they could not have water for pumping after to-day. They will re- sume operations on Monday in all de- partments. BAKERSFIELD, Nov. 19.—The rain storm reached this place from the north amounted to about .15 of an inch. The indications are that there will be more to-night. The storm was preceded by a strong wind. i SANTA CRUZ. Nov. 19.—Rain fell here this morning. SUISUN, Nov. 19.—At 2 o'clock this morning rain commenced falling throughout Solano County. It contin- ued until 7 o’clock. Orchards,especially were benefited by the downpour. AUBURN, Nov. 19.—An inch and a half of rain fell here last night and to- day. During the fall the temperature was warm, but to-night it is much colder. Rain is badly needed in this section and the littie that fell to-day will prove a blessing. There is no feed and those mines operated by water powér have all shut down. FRESNO, Nov. 19.—The farmers in this vicinity were made happy to-day by a good rainfall, which was greatly needed. Twenty-four hundredths of an inch fell, and the indications are that the storm is not over. The rain did no damage as the raisin crop is nearly all harvested. What has not been mar- keted is under shelter. The young grain was just beginning to suffer, but the growing crop has been greatly bene- fited by the timely downpour. MILTON, Nov. 19.—Rain commenced falling at 2 o'clock this morning and showers continued until noon, when the total precipitation was a half inch. Sheep and cattle were showing the effect of lack of feed. ALMOST COME TO BLOWS. Excitement in a Solano Republican Committee Meeting. SUISUN, Nov. 19.—The Republican County Committee met in Suisun on Fri- day and came near having a free-for-all fight. A resolution was Introduced ex- pelling Editor D. H. McDonald of the So- lano County Courler from the committee owing to the stand he took in the late campaign, supporting an independent for Sheriff. The reading of the resolution filled McDonald with ire. He assalled the entlemen from Vailejo, and for a time t seemed that the meeting would break ? in a pugllistic contest. Chairman athaway finally restored order and th: meeting adjourned to meet in Vallejo at § o'clock p. m. . The precipitation | next Friday. NEITHER NURSES NOR DOCTORS Neglect of Convales- cents on Trains. MEN LYING UNCONSCIOUS INTERESTING TESTIMONY BY A VOLUNTEER. Lieutenant Edwards Tells How He Was Technically Starved for Four Weeks After Recov- ering From the Fever. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—When the ‘War Investigating Commission met to- day General Dodge, the chairman, an- nounced that the sessions in the city would probably continue ten days. General Dodge declined to give in ad- vance the names of those he expected to examine, but it is said that invitations had been sent to Colonel Roosevelt and other members of the _ough Riders. Miss Margaret Garrard of Morris- town, N. J., a volunteer worker among the sick at Camp Wikoff, said she visit- ed the camp for the first time after the arrival of troops on September 13. Be- fore then she had visited the trains | carrying soldiers from Montauk Polnt and found many evidences of neglect. Men too weak to help themselves were found lying unconsclous in the streets of Long Island City, and in every in- stance where she made inquiry she learned that there were neither doctors nor nurses on the trains of the con- valescents. Lieutenant Charles Edwards of the Seventy-first New York Regiment, and a professional nurse, in reply to ques- tions by General Dodge said: “I was technically starved for four weeks after I recovered from yellow fever, but that was the best treatment for the disease. Many of the deaths in Cuba were due to the ignorance of the men affected. The doctors told them ‘If you eat you die.” Still they ate. The volunteer la- dies who went to Montauk as nurses did more harm than good. Their inten- tions were all right, but they did not accomplish their purpose. They had at their quarters soda-water, ginger ale, champagne cider chicken and bread and butter. They svmpathized with the men landing from the transports and invited them to eat and drink. Of course the men wanted to eat, and the volunteer ladies gave them chicken and other edibles. A few days later the men would be dead and the ladies would go around blaming the Govern- ment.” At 4 o'clock Dodge adjourned the further hearing for lack of witnesses. The commission will convene again at 9:30 o’clock Monday morning. As soon as the ordinary witnesses are heard the commission will call upon the higher officers of the United States service. PARSONS IS GENERAL MASTER WORKMAN President of the National Association of Letter-Carriers Honored by the Enights of Labor. CHICAGO, Nov. 19.—At to-day’'s meet- ing of the Knights of Labor John W. Parsons of New York was elected Gen- eral Master Workman by a close vote over the present general master work- man, Henry H. Hicks, who is also a New Yorker. : J. D. Schonfaber of Baltimore was se- lected a8 a member of the general execu- tive board in place of Henry Bostock of Muncle, Ind. Boston was chosen as the place for next year's convention. All the other general officers were re-elected. The opposition to General Master Work- man_Hicks is said to be based on his al- leged lack of energy. The delegates want- ed a leader who would be more active and pushing in advancing the interests of the organization. Their new leader is presi- dent of the National Assoclation of Let- ter Carrfers, and has been prominent in labor_affairs. J. D. Schonfaber is a former master workman of the district assembly of Bal- timore and a former editor of the journal of the Knights of Labor. OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.
