Association — citizens and prope owners of the Noe Valley distr held spirited meeting las night at Rolando’s Hall, Twent eighth and Castro streets, for the pur- pose of ¢ muning the offensive rock-crusher now operated by Gray Brothers in the Noe Valley. The protest of the citizens will come up before Mayor Schmitz to-day and they are doing all in their power |to have the Mayor abolish - the nuisance. He previously vetoed the | ordinance, and should he take similar ’.ullul to-day and be upheld by the m pervisors, the residents of the Noe | Valley say they will appeal to the hlf‘r(hxr‘ s’ Association for relief. A lengthy set of resolutions con- | demning the rock crusher and asking |al residents of the district to work for its abolition was unanimously passed. A delegation from the asso- ciation will be present when the ques- |uc.n comes up before ®he Supervisors MYSTERY VEILS ATTACK | American Jail | strange | crops submerged and much other | 'Delegates Arrive on All in the Grand Parlor didly Entertained by VALLEJO SHOUTS HER WELCOME T0 GOLDEN WEST'S NATIVE SONS the Boats to Participate Session and Are Splen- the Citizens of the Town - i oy 3 — G BT ALV PROMD OFFICERS OF THE NATIVE S OF THE GOLDEN WEST, WHO ARE IN ATTENDANCE AT THE SESSION OF THE ORDER BEING HELD IN | VALLEJO VALLEJO, April 24—The morning|is to furaish music for the soclal func- | and noon boats to-day brought in dele- gates from Native Son parlors through- out the ate and they were warmly greeted by committées of fellow mem- bers and citizens. The Vallejo lodge of Elks, with char- acteristic hospitality, hung in front of the club rooms a banner with gigantic lette announcing the location of “headquarters.” Here members of the local arrangement committee receive | incoming members, have them properly registered and assign the visito! t rooms. Heac s for visiting ladi have been established at McCalla Hall. Many additional decorations were put up to-day adding to the attractiveness of the town.

A large number of people turned out to enjoy | the fine music and delightful weather. The excursion that will be given | from here to San Francisco next| Thursday morning to afford the visit ing delegates and others who may wish | to attend an opportunity to witness the launching of the armored cruiser Cali- | | fornia will prove a novel and attractive feature of the week's programme to many of the visitors. Thomas L. Floyd, who won the prize |in a notable contest among the Native Sons four years ago, is still a resident of Vallejo. At the time the order held the big celebration of Admission day in San Francisco in 1900 a town lot in the then obscure hamlet of Point Ri mond was offered as a prize to the Native Son having the largest family | of boys. Mr. Floyd at that time had | | eight boys who called him papa and he won the prize. The lot was then worth $75 and is now valued at $400. RUNAWAT HORSE ON PARK ROAD While the main driveway in Golden | | | ! | { | yesterday afternoon a horse driven by | T. Van Stein ran away and caused in- | jury to several people. Mrs. Eddie Gra- | ney, wife of the well-known referee, | who was riding horseback, was thrown to the ground. The animal on which she was mounted was badly injured. Van Stein and a lady who accompanied him were pitched to the roadway, escaped with slight bruises. T. H. Brown, a pedestrian, was also knocked | down, but not badly injured. Van Stein and his companion had started to drive from the boathouse when the animal became unmanagable. !The driver did his best to remain in the road, and for a time succeeded in | doing so. Narrowly missing other ve- hicles, the maddened animal dashed along and it seems a miracle that fa- talities did not result. When the run- away horse reached the main drive- way Van Stein turned him in the direc- |tion of the city and the dash con- ! tinued among the many carriages and buggies that were on the road. The | excitement was intense for a time and | mounted police followed in an attempt to gain control of the horse. | The runaway had gone but a short | distance on the main driveway when he | collided with a saddle horse on which was seated Mrs. Graney. The lady had been unable to reach a place of safety and the force of the collision knocked her to the ground. Her horse, which is a valuable one, was severely cut and in- jured. Mrs. Graney refused to go to the hospital and was removed to her home, At this time Van Stein's ve- hicle was overturned and both its oc- cupants were tossed out. A moment later the horse swung into the bicycle | path and knocked down Mr. Brown, who was on foot. Brown, like the oth- ers, refused the attention of the hospi- tal surgeons and went to his home. The horse was captured soon afterward !and returned to a stable on Mission street, from which it had been hired. | The buggy was a wreck. | | Tributes to Dead Congressmen. WASHINGTON, April 24. — The House was in session for more than lnve hours to-day for the purpose of paying tribute to the memory of the late Senator Marcus A. Hanna, the late Representatives Thompson of Alabama and Skiles of Ohio. Appro- priate resolutions were adopted. Gate Park was crowded with vehicles | but | MAGNATE WILL - VIEW (T OFF President E. H. Harriman of the| Southern. Pacific Company 4nd his| party of New York financiers departed | vesterday for the East in their unlntmh train. They left this city at 11:30 o'clock in the morning by way of the | Ogden route, with the intention of in- | | specting the recent work of straighten- | ing out the Central Pacific and making | a trip over the Lucin cutoff, which is | ;causlng much worriment to Harriman |and his engineering and operating | forces. It was expected that President Harriman would remain here until Tuesday. In fact he had made several engagements for the early part of the week, but was compelled to cancel them. Before leaving his offices yesterday | the railroad magnate and several of his officials, including Director of Main- | tenance and Operations Kruttschnitt, | General Manager Markham and Man- | ager Agler had a long conference, dur- | ing which many changes in the operat- ing departments of the company, which | may result from the absorption of thc, California Northwestern and the North; Shore roads and the compact entered into between Harriman and Ripley, were discussed. [ It is generally understood that sev- eral new divisions will be created in the | northern part of the State, one of ich will include the two small roadsi | | recently acquired by the Southern Pa- | cific and a proposed new connecting ' branch between the California North- | western and the Napa division and an- | other of the small branches of the Sacramento division, which is getting | toc big for one man to handle. Of course these changes wiil not be made for some time, but when that time comes General Manager Markham wilt be prepared to submit a plan to Di- rector Kruttschnitt, who is very fami- iar with the situation. It is reported that the improvement of the roadway of the California Northwestern will be one of the first pieces of new work or- dered by President Harriman. Who will assume charge of the two coast roads is a matter yet to be decided on by Director Kruttschnitt. It is com- mon talk in railroad circles, however, that President Foster of the California Northwestern is soon to leave on a trip to Burope and during his absence | it is believed that whoever is appointed | to take charge of the road will eventu- ally assume its management as well as that of the North Shore and carry out any changes that may be suggested by Director Kruttschnitt, | bruised and scratched. 1of Mrs. P. S. Fisher was next struc! | house of W. | Arnold and his | woman visiting them were all painfully injured. J. P. Castleberry was serfously | | found to-da; !from the city. HAYOC IN PATH OF A TORNADO Funnel-Shaped Cloud Sweeps Over Kansas Town Causing Much Damage to Property MANY PERSONS INJURED | —_—— One Family Barely Escapes ‘When the Storm Strikes | the House Demolishing It McPHERSON, Kas., April 24.—A tor- nado struck McPherson this afternoon, demolishing six residences and causing other damage to property. Three per- | sons were injured, one seriously. Much damage was done in the country north | of here. A funnel-shaped cloud approached! the town from the south, following the course of a ravine. The residence of S. W. Rieff was first struck and the house, barn and outbuildings destroy- | ed. All the members of the family escaped except a young man, who was | The residen The bullding was picked up and car- ried a considerable distance and de-| molished. The family had seen the| approach of the storm and escaped. The | large Fisher apple orchard was ruined. The large residence of Archie Brown, next in the path of the storm, was wrecked and two of Brown's daughters injured. One, struck by the stove fall- | ing on her, was seriously hurt. The residence of Peter Sellberg was next wrecked, the family escaping. After wrecking the slaughter house of 8. G. Grantz the storm lifted and passed south, traveling in the direction of Lindsborg. Beyond McPherson the tornado fol- lowed the ground taking the path of an old watercourse. The tornado passed | four miles east of Salina, wrecking tele- | phone and telegraph poles and farm property. Efforts made to follow the course of the storm by telephone were | made, but all the wires are down. It is a miracle that great damage was not done at McPherson and many per- | sons killed, as the tornado barely miss- ed the thickly settled residence district. MOUNT VERNON, Tex., April 24.— The worst> tornado ever known in this section struck Mount Vernon from the | southwest to-night. Eleven houses were blown down, the residence of J. H. Mayors, vice president of the First Na- tional Bank, being completely demol- ished. Mavors was seriously injured. and Mrs. Mavors and C. H. Harp and | son and daughter were injured. The W. Arnold was shattered and strewn for hundreds of yards, and wife and a young injured in the destruction of his house. Trees, fences and wires were blown +down and other damage done. The path . of the storm was narrow and it passed | over quickly. CENTRALIA, Mo., April 24.—A tor- nado struck near here to-night. Several residences and other property were | damaged, but no one was killed as far as reported. —————— BODY OF MISSING STUDENTS IS FOUND Salt TLake Lad Disappeared Two Months Ago and Presumably Froze to Death. SALT LAKE, Utah, April 24.—The body of Alfred Peterson, the Latter Day Saints’ University, in a canyon three miles Two months age he disappeared and all efforts to find him were unavailing. It is supposed he wandered away while temporarily de- ranged and perished in a snowstorm. He was 21 years old. a student in ; [VER CUTS INTO HEART OF A CITY Torrent of Water Ten Feet in | Depth Rushes Through the | Streets of Fort Scott and | Does Immense Damage HUNDREDS RESCUED ! WITH DIFFICULTY [ Residents Are Forced to Flee | From Their Homes and the | Flood Leaves a ILarge! mber Without Shelter Il | FORT SCOTT, Kans., April 24.—Fort | Scott is experiencing the most serious {flood in its history. Marmaton River| and Mill Creek, which runs into (he| | former stream here, have risen ten feet | in the past twenty-four hours, the re-| | sult of heavy rains. Several hundred | persons have been rescued in boats. As | far as known to-night no lives hnvev | been lost. The estimated loss in live stock drowned and property damaged is $100,000. | The two streams began to rise at 10! o’clock last night, and to-day the city | was divided into three sections and al- | | most completely isolated. Normally | ‘NIHI Creek runs into the Marmaton | River northeast of the city, but be-‘ 1cause of the rapid rise they formed a | new channel that cut across one end | of the city. To-night the entire north- ern part of the city is cut off and part | of the city is inundated. Ten feet of | water is rushing through the streets in that part of the city, and several hun- | area persons in what is known as Bell- | town have been forced to leave their homes. Many were taken away in boats. i There were several narrow escapes from drowning. Late to-day an aged | couple named Lemore living a mile | north of the city near the river were | rescued in boats. They were completely | hemmed in. Rescuers were out all to- day under the direction of Fire Chief Ausman, Mayor Congdon and Chief of | Police Mendenhall, and they succeeded in saving thousands of dollars worth of | property, as well as the hundreds r)t' inhabitants of that district. Many who refused to leave Belltown will still have to be taken away in boats, as all avenues of escape have‘ been cut off. | The gas works is three feet under| water and has closed down. The en-| gine and pumps at the water sfation are twenty feet under water. The| Southwestern Wholesale Grocery Com- | pany's warehouse is flooded and the| water has reached the office. The wholesale district is completely sur- rounded and merchants are removing | their stocks of goods. All the railroads {arP tied up, bridges being threatened }and tracks covered. Washouts are re- ported in all directions. In the low farming lands the water is from five to | ten feet deen, and much stock has been drowned and heavy damage to prop-, | erty caused. It is estimated that 300 | persons are homeless. | The storm is unprecedented in this part of the State. The rain has fallen incessantly since last night and it is still raining to-night, with no imme- diate prospect of cessation. It is esti- | mated that eight inches of water has . | fallen. | e e { Patchouli, the perfume, is made from | the leaves of the Pogastemon pachouli, | grown for the purpose in Java. ADVERTISEMENTS.
