RAIN AUDIENCE PLEASED WITH JAN KUBELIK Bt I hate to contradict The Cail, but “Fri- day, cloudy,” did not quite truthfully describe terday's weather. Perhaps “cloudbursts” was meant? It at any rate came nearer the particular atmospheric | deviltry Mr. McAdie arranged for the second Kubelik concert. In fact. yester- day’s audience was the wettest within memory. It swam Eddy stréet, under a | rriages availed nothing. From curb to Tivoli door the drench “got” the car- riage crowd quite impartially. But there o s inside. The theater home on a wet r Leahy's new decora- had something to do with it.

There was music, as usual, Bernat Jaulus directing, as usual, music and director at no more than their usual level—they had no need to be. But Kubellkk was all admiration. “It is no wonder,” he told the director, *that mu- sical taste is so high in San Francisco, ben you have music such as this in the afes, i remember hardly any so.good anywhere.” That is the way Kubelik played Handel yesterday. He played it as the poet lays his song before his mistress. He played it as ene bringing pearls to the gods; sure,, consumumately sure,of oyr under- $tanding, our gratitude, our sympathy. And wonderful as was Kubelik's playing it was no finer than San Francisco's won- derful hearing. To & single hand-clap the applause was gloriously right. Not only that. With the first measures of the sonata the atmosphere became charged with sympathy. Every note was followed with a Gelight that was almost a thing palpable. And every phrase—the word of Han The same with the succeeding Bach Pre- lude. Afterward we brought him back. Then again—twice only they invited Ku- | belik's return after the Lalo Symphonie | Espagnole _on Wednesday let it be re- membered.” Then again, a third time. And again—for Handel and Bach—and when Kubelik walked out to an encere there was a salvo that sounded like ‘the best ‘the storm was doing outside: It was the apex of the enthusiasm yester- day, to Mr. Kubelik's credlt, as well as to ours. He was at his best—his'most personal— in the Bach and Handel. His Mozart, one imagines, must be exquisite. All the clarity, balance, polse, reserve, polish, required are here in uttermost measure. Ang it ig the Hellenic purity, both tonal and dynamic, that Kubellk has to give. The romantic school finds him wanting. Pathos he achieves, but not tragedy; sentiment, but not passion; elfishness, witchery, but not deviltry. I fancy the violinist would rather not have had the Ernst Pathetique concerto to play to us yesterday, with its tuppen- ny themes and wretehed. waste of: fire- works. He did not play it to us as he played the Handel, though what he made of the thing would make me a fabulist in the telling. There seems to be no “thou shalt not” technical, to this man. His technique is a challenge as his tone is a miracle. Just Kubelik’s way of fining off & note intc an incredible tenuity, I have never before known. You would swear you could see through it! But it is all wonderful. He does most things techni- cal in the Ernst, double-stopping; mad, glittering, arpeggi; trills, , anything,. verything, and afterward two encores, “Zephyr” (Hubay) and “Berceuse” (Cui) were_given. The last group included: “Serenade Melancolique” (Tschaikowsky), Bpanish Dance (Sarasate) and. “La Cam- panella” (Paganini) encored with Sdint- Baens’ “La Cygne” to satisfy the demand. As befor¢ Mr. Schwab, who accompa- nies, was there “with the goods”—that is the notes, and at the psychological move- ment, but the Kubellk-Schwab conjunc- tion is not a happy one. It suggests, fum- inously, that of an orchid and a cabbage— with all respect to the cabbage. Miss Ag- nes Gardner-Eyre played the piano, which I cannot think signifies anything to any one but Miss Eyre. Sunday sees the of them all.

The general | boundaries of the flooded district were from Howard to Kansas streets and from Fourteenth :to Nineteenth streets, al- though in other low-lying places adjacent there were many muddy pools of water. It was about 2 o'clock in-the: afternoon | when the sewer became overtaxed and the water suddenly backed up and spread | raNdly in all direct:ons from the cgm- | mon center near Harrison and Fifteenth streets. The householders in that locality hastily packed their effects and moved them to the upper floors. At the first alarm Captain M. O. Ander- son of the Mission station sent out his mounted men -from the station house, | which was by that time an island, to the aid of the water-swept inhabitants. horses floundered through water up to their girths and in many places the ani- mais were nearly swept from their feet. | Had the flood occurred at night there would have been great loss of property, but squads of men from the police station were sent out in the patrol wagon, hub de€p in water, to ald in protecting prop- erty. . Every ‘time the wagon left or returned | to the station the vehicle was handied like a lifeboat, the policemen assisting in its launching and helping the struggling | horses to keep their feet. Fortunately, | ndtwithstanding the excitement, no per- { sonal injurfes were reported. The trolley cars on Folsom, Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets were delayed and the passengers placed in danger of re- ceiving electric shocks from the metal Inspectors were sta- They tell me that the | tioned at the ends'of the streets where | tife “wateér was encountered and gave the { motormen instructions to go through the | sheet of water awith the current shut off, | the car ¥eing carried through by momen- | tum. s | TRACKS UNDER WATER. | Thetracks of the Southern Pacific Rail- way on Harrison street were submergcd and“the trains incoming and eoutgoing plowed their way through the muddy wa- ter, zehding off a vellow wake from each side of the pilot. By 5 o'clock the waters began to re- cede and the flooded district presented a topsy-turvy sights All kinds of refuse and d@ebris left behind by the retreating | waters strewed the ground. Gangs of | men, assisted by housewives with shovels and brooms, attacked the reeking mass | and cleared spaces about their doorsteps | and gardens,- leaving the streets to the care of the city. A stallion valued at $500, belonging to Joseph Sorroco of Mill Valley, was badly hurt by stumbling over a curbstone that was hidden in the water at 1816 Folsom street .and suffered lacerations of the forelegs and shoulders that may cripple it for life. Veterinary Surgeon Thomas R. Crecley sewed on large patches of skin that had been torn off the animal. The forecast given out by the Weather Bureau for yesterday was “cloudy.” Not only did the heavens open in San Fran- | cisco anA let loose torrents. The storm stretched along the whole coast from San Diego to the British fine, but was heaviest about San Francisco Bay. To the observant eve of G. H. Willson, weather forecastér in the absence of Pro- fessor McAdie, the storm was moving easterly, but from the manner of yester- day's deluge it appeared that the rain- clouds were hovering in a bunch over the | city. And a similar brand of weather has been ordered by the bureau for to- day. RIVERS ARE RISING. San Francisco has not been the only part of California to suffer, however. The Sacramerto and San-Joaquin rivers are | dangerously full and should both ap- proach .the delta gt the same time with their flood tides there will be great dam- age. According to Forecaster Willson it |is seldom that both rivers have been at flood at the same time as they are at present. There is 207 inches of snow at Summit and the white flakes sre still falling, while in other places along the ranges the thaw is threatening to fill the al- ready overcharged streams. The present st covered the coast from end to end and from the Slerra to the Pacific. It is moving slowly east- ward, gently propelled by a shifting westerly wind, and shows no sign of abatement. Last evening the wind fresh- ened, Point' Reyes reporting sixty-five miles an hour and.the. Farallones fifty- six miles an hour.

Whitescarbor, who was ar- rested at Stockton Wednesday, is now in | jail at Red Bluff, Tehama County, to which place he was taken by Sheriff Richardson.
