Thunder, Lightning and Wind Accom- pany Rain in San Luis Obispo, SAN LUIS OBISPO, March 24.-*Thun- der, lightning, wind and rain rudely awakened every one in this section of the country at five o'clock this morning. The continuous rain of several days increased during the night and shortly after five o'clock there was a veritable cloudburst, This was accompanied by a high wind and thunder and lightning. The storm, which was a surprise, was the most se- vere that has been experienced here in many years. All streams and creeks throughout the country are swollen and travel in many instances is impossible. The farmers who were wont to ery a dry season are now pleading for a cessd tion of the rain storm as the country is thoroughly soaked and they are already confident of & good and prosperous sea- son. Between p:3) and § a. m, 122 of rain fell. This is considered a record in this section. Although the storm was flerce little or no damage was done to the fruit blossoms. The storm abated shortly af- ter eight o'clock and was followed by glorious sunshine, although a heavy mist covered the surrounding mountains. Rain again commenced to fall this afternoon and there is now a gentle downpour, §UR Ly ABANDON THEIR HOMES. ¥Flood Forces Inhabitants of Elmwood, | Near Modesto, to Move.

The loss of the Pulajanes is unknown. Governor George Curry is missing. Governor Curry, Judge Lobinger and Superintendent of Schools Hoover had proceeded to the town, expeeting to re- ceive in surrender a large band of Pula- janes. It is now suspected that the offer by the Pulajanes to surrender was a treacherous ruse. Reinforcements of constabulary have been ordered to pro- eeed to the district, and Provinecial Treas- urer Whittier of Samar has recommended jhat Federal troops be held in readiness. Governor Curry, whese former home was in New Mexico, was a member of the Rough Riders, reaching the rank of captain. He also was an officer of the volunteer troops sent to the Philippines and became Manila's first Chief of Police under Ameriean rule. Early last year he was appointed Governor of the prevince of Samar, succeeding Governor Feito, who resigned, and was given extraordi- nary powers for the purpose. of bringing peace to the troubled district. WRECKERS PILE ROCKS N PATH OFFAST TRAIN Vandals Try to Ditch a Garden City u Passenger.. SAN JOSE, March 24.—An attempt was made to wreck the 5:30 Southern Pacific train this afterncon ai a point between | Lawrence station and Hollister. Rocks were piled upon the track, but were dis- | covered to prevent an accident. The train -was stopped within a few feet of the barri- cade ana proceeded to this eity after the obstruetion had. been removed. .;.. -1y Only by the watchfulness of Holladay, the engineer in charge of locomotive No. 30, was a serious accident averted. The boulders were placed at a point where the train is usually under great headway, and it was only by applying the emer- gency brakes that a stop was made in | time. Many of the passengers were bad- ly shaken up and frightened by the sud- den stopping of the train, but few real- ized how narrow their escape had heen. As soon as the train reached San Jose Sheriff Ross was notified of the attempted hoid-up and deputies all along the line are searching for the persons placed the boulders on the track. A man was seen in the vieinity walking along the tracks shortly hefore the train passed. | The officers are looking for this man, whe is believed to know something of the | daring attempt. He is described as a | man about 25 years old and clean shaven! He wore a slouch hat and a black suit. The passenger train was in charge of Conductor George Muller and was well filled with passengers returning from San Francisco. Word of the attempt to wreck the train has been sent to all the towns in the northern part of the county, with a description of the suspect, and it is ex- pected that he will be captured tonight, ——————————— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

SPELLIN RULES Andrew Carnegie Explains His Advocacy of Projeet to Reform the Language MANY WORDS UNCOUTH English, Destined to Become Universal Tongue, Must Be Brought Up to Date HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 24—An- drew Carnegie made a statement today, giving his views on the proposed réform of English gpelling. He sald: “From Chaucer's time and before, till now, our language has been constantly changing and improving, not under any rule or system, but simply as occasion has required new words and new spelling. “The great Oxford dictionary now unday publication gives the history of each word and shows that words creep into our language in the most haphazard manner. A new word expresses a new want or an o0ld want better than the word in use did and so forces itself into use. What is slang one year is correct English a few years later. Thus our language is en- riched. It is a slow process, but a steady and sure one. All the struggles of pur- ists are helpless against it. “The organized effort I have agreed to finance is not revolutionary. Far from it. Its action will be conservative. Word after word, it will endeavor to improve the spelling and the language; slowly, of course, but hastening the pace when pos- sible. “The editors who are disposed to ridi- cule the effort themselves use words and especially spellings which their predeces- sors of a century ago weuld have de- nounced as degrading literature. The editors of the next century will, in turn, marvel at the uncouth spelling of eur present scribes. “Since our language has been eon- structed through unceasing change lit- erary men should weleome new words and new spellings with a favoring eye, since It is by these alone that further im- provement can come. Scholars de- nounced plow for pleugh, for instance; but plow has been accepted. Se with many words that will readily occur to the reader. “Our language is likely to prevail in the world and we may hope it is to be- come finally the universal language, the most potent of all instruments for draw- ing the races together, insuring peace and advancing ecivilization. The forelgner has the ‘greatest difficulty in acquiring it be- cause of its spelling. This is,. at least, his chief obstacle, for its grammar is easy. “Hundreds of scholarly men have agreel to use imvproved spelling for twelve words. These words are already well started in actual use. Other simpli- ficatlons will be suggested. If meritori- ous they will be accepted. i “'Teachers ye assured me that ehil- dren would be saved more than a year's instruction ifiour spelling were simplified. Why the perverse ‘ough’ spelling should be contfined I cannot understand. We understand. ‘thy’ and it expresses exactly iz;;§amg sense as ‘though’ and expresses the’ seund better. The change is at once obviously advantageous and I find many already using it in writing and some of | these are British authors. Indeed, ‘tho,’ with the §upsFuous dpom?ha."munds in British authors from Addison down. We just drop the apostrophe. That ‘tho’ will ‘get into general use is certain. Our successors will smile at the ‘ough’ spell- ing as we do (\'hw at what we called ‘the queer' gpel,hig of Chaucer. “In trying to hasten the use of simpli- fied spelling and to improve our own language fer the struggle for first place, which is even today upon us, we are en- gaged in a mest useful work. I hope that thoughtful people will give this im- portant and conservative reform eonsid- eration and resplve to use at least two or three simplified words and thus range themselves with us in our effort to carry on the uneeasing work of improying our mother tongue and adapting it fer its noble purpose and high destiny.” ALANEDA COUNTY NENS OPIUM CAUSES DEATH.—Haywards, March 24.—Quin Dye, & Chinese laborer, died in hig cabln today, supposedly from an oyerdose of oplum.

He is going to make him work or make his life a burden to him. Under his supervision a departmental committee has been studying the Weary ‘Willie and his ways for some time and has just issued a report suggesting a practical method of improving him off the face of the earth. As the tramp question is always an aecute one in Amerijca, a fairly full outline of the readers. The basis of it lies in exercising a judieious discrimination between the robust vagabonds who infest the high- ways and whine at back doors in towns and eities and the honest workmen who are driven to go “on tramp” by mis- fortune. The former are to be placed in Jabor colonies, where they will be compelled to submit te the primal law, “He that will not work neither shall he search for work. The committee pro- poses: A new and harder regime under po- lice control instead of the poor law for the “casual’; “Preferential treatment and real “as- sistance” for the bona fide worker when he takes the road; and For habitual vagrants the establish- ment of walled-in labor colonies. LABOR COLONIES, Magistrates are to be empowered to send habitual vagrants to labor colonies for from six months to three years. They will bear a considerable resem- blance to the Chinese compounds in South Africa, which have been so much diseussed lately. Certainly they would net become popular institutions with professional tramps. There will be no coddling in them. For the occupants a scientific eubsistence dietary has been drawn up which, it is estimated, will cost only 80 cents a head per week. It is as follows: Breakfast and supper—Bread, eight ounces; cocoa (made with cocoa husk), one pint. Dinners for a week: Two days—Bread, eight ounces; pea or lentil soup, one pint. Two days—Bread, six ounces: cheese, two ounces; potatoes (cooked), six ounces. Two days—Bread, two ounces; broth, one pint; suet pudding, twelve ounces. One day—Bread, ¢ight ounces; stew, one pint. Salt for table—One ounce per five men daily. It is proposed to make the labor colonies self-supporting. The labor is not to be re- stricted to agricultural work only, for that might not pay and might be inter- rupted by inclement weather. The inmates will be given opportunities for earning small sums, and by demonstrating that they have conguered the shirk-werk habit and the born-tired feeling may obtain an early release from the colony—or eom- pound. The *casual vagrants’—the class that have not yet become habitual loafers and will do an occasional honest day’s work— will be detained for two days and will re- ceive a more generous diet, but will have to work for their meals. On their dis- charge they will be given sufficient food for a midday meal. * GENUINE WORKERS. The genuine worker tramping is to be granted a way book by the police giving his personal description, his usual trade, his reasons for wishing to travel and his proposed destination, and containing his signature and possibly his finger prints for the pur] of testing identification. It will cofltal: spaces on which can be stamped the name of each casual ward visi , 3 “With this book,” says the committee, “the man would go to the casual ward and be entitled to a night's ledging, sup- per and breakfast, and after performing two heurs’ werk to help to pay for his food and lodging he should be free to leave. “The name of°the next ward on the di- rect line of his route should be entered in the book, and if he arrived at that place he sheuld be treated in the same manner. “For him there should practically be no detention and he should generally have better treatment and accommoda- tion than the ordinary vagrants and be kept as far as possible apart frem them. And it should be open to him to remain at the ward for another night if he desires a rest on his journey."” These books will enable the public to discriminate between their poses- sors—the work seekers and the horde of vagabonds who simply roam about the eountry to escape work and live by petty thefts and mendicancy. That in turn will eperate to check the indis- criminate giving of alms which, more than anything else, creates vagrancy. Sir Bric Buchanan, who has made study of the question, estimates th: London alone $500,000 is given every year to beggars, THE GERMAN METHOD. The propesed plan of dealing with vagraney is in its essential features similar to that which has proved so successful in Germany and Denmark. The German worker's right to “tramp” in"search of work is recognized by the State, and he has also the right to de- mand relief ‘'on his travels when he is without means. But by the German penal code vagabonds, beggars and those wha refuse offers of work which they could perform can be imprisoned or fined or compelled to work in state institutions, where they are carefully separated from free labarers. In Denmark there is a special class of penal workhouse for the professional vagrant. When he is caught he must earn his dinner every day befors he eats it, and it is not a luxurious meal even then. He is further confined in thi institution for a period of six months and if by that time he does not show signs of amendment he can be placed under a yet Severer regime. The mere existence of the penal workhouses, it has been found, is sufficient to put a stop to the vagrant nuisance, thus set- ting large sums free for the relief and assistance of the ‘re-‘}ly! :el:rvlng‘ Thg' Denmark has solve e tramp prob- lvmmt: Joz:‘numl intends it shall be solved in England. ———————— - .

Deeplte the fact that he is supposed to hold the key to hidden miilions in Death Valley “Scotty” was hurried to the City Prison and thrown into the tanks. The arpest was made at the request of the Sheriff of San Bernardino County. It is the outcome of “‘Scotty’s” last trip to the desert about a meonth ago, when an alleged fight between “‘Scotty,” his brgther and a man named Johnson and a crowd of bandits occurred. Johnsen afterward declared that the fight was “ribbed up” by “Scotty” for the purpose of keeping people from forgetting him. Bcotty protested vigorously at being put into & cell, but was told that no excep- tion could' be made in his case. Late last night his att , John Greely, had him brought = befo! Judge Graham at his honor’s home and the miner was released on a writ of habeas corpus, with ball at $500, which was put up by Walter Camp- bell of the Grand Opera-house. ‘When the crowd left Judge Graham's home $cotty ‘asked them to have a drink. Everybody had visions of wine and pop- ping eorks, but Scotty announced that it was a case of steam beer or nothing. He will appear at the Grand Opera-house today.
