Rain is badly needed in the south. South of the Tehachapi, one tele- gram says, it has so far been the lightest fall in many years. In Fresno there are no_indications of approaching downpours. On top of that Sacramento is feeling a little bad because the weather is inter- fering with the plowing; not that it is in- terfering very much, but the farmers up there want to be heard and also to let their brothers further south know there is_plenty falling around the (‘flglld]. The weather bureau declares the rain is the first a two-part shower that is coming in from the ocean over the north- and has turned southward to The first part has passed, it o take us says, and the second is due, but like the Southern Pacific trains the time of its arrival is somewhat problematical. It will be along in a day or so anyway, and it is believed the second instaliment will travel farther than its forerunner as well as farther inland. In the central and northern parts of California_the rain has been pretty gen- eral, and it has inspired everything with any vegetable ambition at all to come up over the ground and show itself. Weeds and thistles have already accepted the implied invitation and grass is rapidly following. The southern end of the State is still walting, however, with the exception of Santa Barbara, which, in order to go its neighbors one bette inveigled a few drops to cross over the county line and fall where they would at least make a ENDEAVORING T6 DUNCTURE THE CLoups -- PREPARING For - THE RAIN Tmrr's"jup.sm(.onel THE SOUTH. record if not a reputation. It was only a suggestion, but it served to make Santa Barbara an exception to the dry rule, There has been some snow on a few of the higher of the southern mountains, but that does not count, although later on it will serve for helping along with the ir- rigating ditches, for if something is not doing skyward pretty soon the ditches Will be the only resort of the parched farms. Much is expected of the second half, however, and if it lives up to hopes it wili rise from the dignity of a shower and become quite a respectable storm of rain. It can hardly be too much down south, but if it plays on all alike it will drown out the northern end of the State while it 1s fllling the ground down south. Tha Weather Bureau has hopes, however, that it will distribute {ts favors.

RIGHTS OF CITIZENS MUST BE PROTECTED Clash Between Police and Crowds at Open-Air Meetings Renewed and Two Arrests Made. Storekeepers in the vicinity of Market street and Grant avenue have been pro- testing to the police against the crowds that congregate on the corners nightly, s they interfere with their business. On nday night there was a Salvation Army meeting on one corner, a meeting of So- cialists on the other, and a few yards farther morth a patent medicine vendor was haranguing a crowd. Policeman Kramer cleared the sidewalk, but as soon as he got to another place the crowd surged back, and finally Kramer arrested J. D. Mardis for obstructing the idewalk. A crowd followed the officer and his prisoner to the patrol box and Mardis characterized his arrest as an out- rage and asked if any citizen would back bim up. gaid_he would appear as a witness for Mardis, and Kramer promptly arrested him on the charge of interfering with an officer. The cases were called in Judge Cabanis’ court yesterday. Mardis sald he was walking past the corner and halted just for a moment to see what was going on, when the officer jostled him roughly and told him to move on. To his astonish- ment he was grabbed by the collar be- se he to.u the officer he was “too uick,” and was dragged to the patrol box. Condon and other witnesses corrob- ted him and the Judge dismissed both es. Attorney Ryan, who represented Mardis, wanted the Judge to rebuke the officer, but the Judge replied that he was not a police censor. Judgment Kowalsky. Judge 8. K.

Curtin | i TO DESERT THE DUDES Grand Opera-House Company Soon to [ Depart for Los Angeles and Re- | main Indefinitely. Deep sorrow fills the breasts of local | chapples. Thelr grief s inconsolable, for 11he news has gone forth among them that the forty beauteous maidens who airily | trod the boards at the Grand Opera-house will shortly desert this city for the smiles of the gay youths of Los Angeles. Eut | one more month remains for the chorus | 8irls to carry welghty revolvers for pro- tection against the annoyances of fresh “willle boys” of this town. On April 1 the company now playin, ‘Aladdin Jr.” at the Grand will o’mfnf the Burbank Theater, Los Angeles, and Wil remain there for an indefinite period. | Manager Morosco is now in the East try- | ing to secure a company suitable to fil the vold caused by the transfer of the lo- cal favorites, but it is feared he will be unsuccessful. Mr. Morosco may engage gclever comedians and sweet singers fo | fill the principal roles, but the local agire gation of “mothers’ darlings’” .feel that he can never replace the chorus wi so ruthlessly tears from their n'xldll;..kh e One youth whose eyesight &ave out from continued peering over the glaring fot- lights at his particular “mash" humming the sweet refrain about leaving | | his happy home for her, and it is certain | that if he wishes to whisper sweet noth- ings in her pearly ear he will have to fo!- low the company to southern pastures. A are loth 1o number of the dainty chorus | leave this city, and only threats of loss of position will gain their consent. For the past year the com, has charmed local theater-goers by its render- ing of popular operas. As will be remem. bered, the aggregation came to this city shortly after the close of the Melba Sea- son. A Mr. Southwell chaperoned the strangers, and although himseif and com- pany were unknown to local fame the ex- | cellence of the company soon won it fa- vor, | and it has ever since played to big houses. At the end of the first twelve weeks Mr. Morosco purchased Mr, Southwell’s inter- est in the company and since thed operas have been produced under his manage- ment. Having secured the Burbank T'hes. ter at Los Angeles, Mr. Morosco decided | charges 90 000000 00060600000060000000000000000. to book the local company for that play- house, and he is now in the East to secure an opera company to continue the per- formances. During its stay in the citrus belt the company will be in charge of Mr. Wolff, who will act as stage manager, comedian, business manager and settler of disputes between members of his aggregation. 1f inducements are offered the company it may visit Honolulu, but that is so far in the future that it may not come to pass. At all events the expected departure of the chorus has thrown a_damper on the local dudes, and there is walling and heart-burnings on every hand. Some of the tribe vow to follow their lady lovas to Los Angeles, as they cannot bear to exis« without their smiles. e e—— Police Commissioners Meet. At the regular meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners held last night the of extortion preferred against Patrolmen Rice, Riordan and Robinson of the Chinatown squad were dismissed. The case of Patrolman James Norton, charged by Patrolman John Porter with having refused to aid him in making an arrest, was taken under advisement. Pa- trolman John F. Bagley was fined $10 for failing to report for duty on time. The usual amount of liquor license business was taken up. —_———— To Celebrate Washington’s Birthday.

REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE FOR THE FALL CAMPAIGN l. J. Truman Jr. Elected Chairman of the Executive Committee. Measures Adopted for Taking Active Part in the Selection of Delegates to the Next National Convention. HE new executive committee of the Republican County Committee held its first meeting last evening and organized by the election of L J. Truman Jr. for chairman and James A. Wilson secretary.

The pistol has not yet been found, OHN JONES and Anthony Taronta, boys residing at 320 Vallejo street, were on the beach at Lands End yesterday forenoon gathering sea surf that was breaking upon the sandy shore. One of them waded Into mouth with thin lips. The eyes were gray or light blue. The deceased was well dressed in a sult of black cassimere, light stockings and laced tan shoes. An examination of the corpse at the Morgue disclosed a bullet wound in the back of the head, between the top of the ears and the top of the skull. There was also a bullet hole in the palate about an inch back of the front teeth. This was evidently the point of entrance of the bullet, and the hole in the skull was no doubt the point of exit. These wounds led to the belief that the ferred that the body had been in the water not more than two or three days. No person of the description of the dead man has been reported at the Morgue as missing. There was nothing in the man’'s pockets that would indicate his identity, but his appearance is that of a man in fair circumstances. An autopsy performed last night by Dr. Leland showed that the bullet had entered the palate and passed out through the back of the head. This clearly establishes the theory of sulclde, and it i physician that the man must have placed the tance inside his mouth.

Local Committee. | The motion to appoint a committee was | seconded by Mr. Hennessey. In support of the motion Mr. Bouvier remarked that it was common report that some of the members of the Congressional committees in the Fourth and Fifth Adistricts had been named by bosses outside of the con- vention. He thought it was time to in quire why the county committee repre- senting the Republicans in these Congres- sional districts should not have a voice in forming the State and Congressional District conventions.

Lieutenant Mooney and Policemen McGrayan, Laws and Conlon were detailed on the case, and when they reached the room they found twenty- seven women there and two men. When the women saw the officers there was the wildest excitement, as they all imagined they were to arrested. Tga place was run by Jones & Johnso at least, these were the names they gave, and they denied that they sold pools on races, as was expected, saying they dealt only in margins on the Eastern markets, There was no evidence of poolselling ob- tained to warrant any arrests, and after taking a few names of the women, which were all fictitious, the officers withdrew. The Chief, however, ordered that the lace should be blockaded, and an officer Ena been stationed there since. ——— A New Deal.
