With only short intermis- sions the rain continued all of last night and all day today. Tonight there was such a tremehdous fall of rain that half the street car lines in Los Angeles and prac- tically all the electric lines to near-by towns were put out of business. Pasa- dena people who were in the city were obliged to remain here all night because the two Huntington lines could not be operated owing to the deep water on the tracks and the same is true of persons from Santa Monica, Redondo, Monrovia, ‘Whittier and other places. The damage to the rallroads is not seri- ous, in fact the damage of all kinds, including the flooding of cellars, the in- terference with lighting and power sys- tems and the washing out of streets 1s trivial when compared with the great benefit which will result to .nis end of the State by the reason of the heavy rainfall. The evening observation of the ‘Weather Bureau placed the season’s total for ‘the storm. = Reports from other sections of this end of the State indicate that the precipita- tion was much heavier in the interior. In the Temecula and San Jacinto valleys of Riverside County 3.50 inches fell. At Corona, Riverside and Redlands there was a fall of three inches and in the moun- tains the rainfall was even heavier. At Banning there was a cloudburst, which sent a wall of water against the Southern Pacific track, tearing out a large section of it and blockading the line to Yuma. The break will-be repaired be- fore noon tomorrow. In the San Fernando Valley, north of Los Angeles, the rain continued all day without stopping. Along the coast there was little wind, but the vessels which on Sunday had sought the protection of the Government breakwater at San Pedro remained in the harbor, not daring to venture out. The big clamshell dredge which has been at work deepening the inner harbor at San Pedro, was blown against the rip- rap and sunk in twenty-three feet of water. It is doubtful if it will be pos- sible.to raise it. The dredge was valued at $60,000. None of the crew was on board when the aceldent happened. i U A STREAMS ARE SWOLLE! Santa Clara Valley Faces Critical Pe- riod Because of Storm. SAN JOSE, March 12.—In the opinion of many who give such matters study tonight and tomorrow night will be critical periods with regard to the fruit erop. The heavy storm which raged here this morning ceased soon after noon and tonight the sky is clear. As was expected the wind has died almost completely out and everything points to a severe and possibly a killing frost. An intimation of what might happen this afternoon was given by Weather Observer Connell when he noted the rising barometer and a warning was sent to fruit growers. The storm which raged all last night was severe. Nearly an inch of rain .ell. The rain was ac- companied by a high wind. In the higher altitudes in the eastern range a slight fall of ‘snow took place. The Coyote and Guadalupe rivers were swollen by the heavy downpour in the hills and were rusning bank high to- night. A heavy frost at this time would be serious, as the prune orchards are just coming into bloom. —_— DAMAGE TO BLOSSOMS. Heavy Wind Hurts Trees in County of Sonoma. SANTA ROSA, March 12—Sonoma County has received another heavy soaking during the past forty-eight hours. The total rainfall for the storm was 1.09 inches, bringing the total up to 22.85 inches for the season, as com- pared to 27.04 the same date last year and 85.74 ‘inches for the entire season. . The storm of Sunday will injure the fruit crop to some extent, as the peaches and cherrles are in full bloom, while the prunes and other varieties are partially in bloom. The raln wi accompanlied by heavy wind which blew off the bloom and washed out the pol- len to some extent. The weather to- day is clear but cool. The mountain ranges in all parts of the county were snowcapped this morning, but the cloudy weather has prevented any dam- age by frost. It i much warmer to- night. —_— COLD WIND AND RAIN. Filerce Storm Sweeps Over Bakersfield and Vicinity, BAKERSFIELD, March 12—The wind that had been driving a warm rain from the south since yesterday af- ternoon veered suddenly to the north this afternoon, and tonight a cold wind, accompanied by a heavy downpour of rain, 18 sweeping over this section.

BRI ONE LIFE IS LOST, Great Dnmage Is Done by Storm in San Bernardino. SAN BERNARDINO, March 12.—The rainstorm has been serious in this valley. Near Bast Highlands a small house was washed away and the occupant, an un- known man from Los Angeles, Is sup- posed to be lost.” Searching partles are out tonight. Six power plants of the Edi- son Company located in Mill Creek Can- yon and Santa Ana Canyon are out of business with high water pouring through the buildings. It is estymated that 100,000 inches of water is coming down Santa Ana River, 60,000 down Mill Creek and Lytle Creek is out of the main channel and pouring’ into the west fork, greatly endangering San Bernardino's water main from the reservoir. The rainfall in Mill Creek Canyon at noon was 4.4; in Santa Ana Canyon, 3.35, when telephone wires broke and there has been no news since. A drove of hogs was washed away and drowned at Harlem Springs. The Santa Fe loop line is tied up by heavy sand and mud washed over the tracks near Highland. There will be no trains through tonight. The rainfall in this city at 8 o'clock to-night measures 2.04 inches and is 5thit coming down. —_— STOCKTON, March 12.—The crop out- look for San Joaauin County this year is the most promising in many seasons past and the farmers and fruit growers are jubilant. So far the season has been almost ideal. The rain has come at the right time. Last year four inches fell here in September and a lot more fell before Christmas. That started the vegetation and the farmers had a lot of sod to plow under. The grass sapped the soil and the grain went a great deal to straw and rust. This year the rain came late and at op- portune times. Most of the seeding has been done, though there is still some barley being sown on the low lands. The orchards are all in bloom, and there have been no frosts to injure the fruit. After a week of sunshine, a ltght rain began falling.yesterday morning, con- tinuing at intervals throughout the day. The precipitation last night was heavy. The records show .63 inches for the storm, 1.29 for the month and 10.24 for the season as against 12.52 for a corresponding date last year. B ERERT E T MOUNTAINS AS PROTECTORS. Keep High Winds Off Farms in San Luis Obispo. | SAN LUIS OBISPO, March 12.—Dur- ing the last forty-eight hours this sec- tion of the State has been blessed with two and a half inches of rainfall. The mountains, which surround the city, protected it from the high winds that played havoc elsewuere. At Port Har- ford this morning a gale prevented vessels lading, but the storm sub- sided this evening. It was succeeded by a gentle calm. A sandstorm prevalled at Surf yes- terday and though eighty Japanese la- bored all day they could not prevent the tracks becoming blocked, delaying the southbound trains with the conse- quence that their late arrival in Los Angeles delayed their departure for the north six hours. This section of the State has derived considerable benefit by the rain and a prosperous season is aésured. | has been very heavy. —_—— PEAKS WHITE-CAPPED. Heavy Fall of Snow in the Town of Ukiali and Vicinity, UKIAH, March 12.—Snow fell here today and on the surrounding moun- tains, Several times during the day an old-fashioned Eastern snowstorm pre- valled. White flakes were so thick that one could see less than a block away. In the valley snow melted as soon as it struck the ground, but on the moun- talns it is several Inches deep.

He said that there was no wanton slaughter of women and children in the fight, though many of them were killed by force of necessity, because the Moros used them as shields In the hand-torhand Tghting. Major General Wood declared that many of the women wore male attire and their sex could not be distinguished. Another confusing cause was the des- peration with which the women fought, the priests having worked all of the Moros to a religious frenzy. Mauny of the Moros feigned death and butchered the American hospital men who were | relieving the wounded. . General Wood | said either .in this nor in any fight has an American soldier killed a woman or child except in close action when it was impossible to distinguish sex.” Secretary of War Taft cabled for a | full explanation concerning the deaths | of the women and children, and General Wood has sent a leng reply, of which | the foregoing is the substances o x Placerville nearly two inches and Lin- coln .92 of an inch.

RENO, March 12.—The most destruc- tive wind storm that ever blew over the Comstock struck that place last night. Many buildings were overturned and dozens of fences and telegraph and electric light poles were thrown to the ground. The city was in darkness dur- ing the entire night. Among the build- ings wrecked are a Chinese store, three | flats and several barns. The wind had | been high all evening and soon assumed the proportions of a hurricane. Shin- gles began to fly and houses to shake. The entire front of three flats on D street was blown out and carried away. In one of the flats A. M. Kirschner was sleeping, but he escaped uninjured. All over the city chimneys were blown off and window lights shattered by the foree of the wind. All traffic on the Oregon Short Line was completely tied up for six hours last night and this morning on account of a severe sand storm and blizzard which raged on the desert. So strong was the wind that the trains were un- able to make any noticeable headway against it and in places the sand was piled on the track to a depth of more than a foot, and it required the work of several section gangs to remove it after the storm had passed. All pas- senger trains arrived in Reno many hours behind the schedule timé. Rail- road men state that never before have they witnessed such a fierée blizzard. P ST O DEMOLISHES A JAIL. Storm in Arizona One of the Flercest Record. GLOBE, Ariz, ' March 12.—The h storm which prevailed here all dly°:;5 continues this evening unabated has swelled Pinal Creek, which runs through the town, to proportions of a river. Be- low the rallroad depot the creek cut away the east bank and at 5 o'clock. this even- ing undermined the rear wall of the tem- porary jail, which fell to the street, and a few minytes later the entlre structure of brick fell with a crash. Officers had been watching the encroachment of the creek and before the walls fell had re- moved the prisoners, numbering upward of forty. One, a man, was released, and the others were placed in & public hall under heavy guard. Four prisoners charged with murder and several with grand larceny will probably be taken to Bolomonville and kept {n the Graham County Jall until court meets here next June. A temporary jail will be efected as quickly as possible. X A stage coming from Roosevelt stalled crossing Pinal Creek and the driver cut his horses loose and sayed Wi and Globe Ralilroad, on which there has been' a partial freight blockade for two ‘weeks. Rallroad trafiic and telegraphic com- munication have been seriously inter- rupted in several directions. Tralns are badly delayed on many of the roads.

THE WHO BUENOS AYRES, March 12.—The death of Dr. Manuel Quintana, President of the Argentine republic, yesterday was due to catarrhal pneumonia. The end was somewhat sudden, although President Quintana had been In delieate health for some time®* He had grown very feeble and was not strong enough to leave the city for his country home. Between 2 and 3. o'clock this afternoon enormous crowds were admitted to view the re- mains and there is general mourning everywhere throughout the republic. Dr. Quintana was Tl years of age and for many vears had been regarded as one of the ablest lawyers of his country. He was a prominent figure in national politics from early life. He was the legal adviser of many of the important cor-| porations. He represented the Argentine republic at the Pan-American Congress at Washington in 18%. He was regarded as an exceedingly able and just official. At the election held on June 6, 1904, Dr. Quintana was chosen President, and Fig- ura Alcorta Vice President for a term of six years. They assumed office In Oc- tober, 1904. Vice President Alcorta, the new Presi- dent, recently announced that he would make no change in the ministry during the President’s {liness.

LABOR WANTS RE ELECTIONS Samuel Gompers Speaks on the Need of Legislation to Protect the Ballot COCKRAN'S NEW IDEA A el Would Not Limit Size of Campaign Contributions, Provided They Were Publie WASHINGTON, March 12.—Perry #bi- mont, president of the National Publicity Bill Association, addressed the House committee on election of President, Vice President end Representatives in Con- gress today on the purification of political campaigns by preventing secret contribu~ tions. Belmont said Griggs, who had just been elected chairman of the Democratic Congressicnal Committee, was willing to publish all contributions he may receive in the approaching campaign. President Samuel Gompers of the Amer- jcan Federation of Laber, who also ap- peared before the committee, said the continuation of great contributions to campaigns was inimical to the liberty of the people. He said the patience of wage workers was about exhausted and they were very much interested in any meas- ure to purify election: General James S. Wilson of Wilming- ton, Del., said his State feit especially | the need fer legislation to' purify elee- tions. He said a man behind prison bars was the best argument in favor of a T forrn movement, and urged a more strin- gent bill than the McCall bill. One man alone, he said, was generally believed to have spent $1,000,000 to control Delaware politics. Unless stringent legislation bde obtalned he expressed apprehension lest only rich men would be able to obtain office in the near future. Representative Bourke Cockran spoke in support of a bill he had introduced, which provides that individuals giving more than $50 to a campaign fund shall be required to make a statement before a County Clerk and cause the gift to be announced in two newspapers. He de- clared that secrecy should not surround any contribution. “If Mr. Rockefeller wants to give $1,000,000 to a committee, I do not think there should be any law agalnst it, but the public should be advised as to whers the contribution came from. And I do not think any committee would see fit to take a contribution of §1,000,000 from Roek- efeller if the fact wers to be made pub- lic,” sald Cockran. “Publicity is what is required.” —_—— OFFICIALS OF SANTA CRUZ GIVE UP BODY AND END ROW Monterey Coromer Takes Charge of the Remains an Holds am Tnquest.
