Various Opinions About "a New York Rsgi-

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Permit me
TO say few words in regard to the article in
THE Sun on Monday entitled "On Guard in
Brooklyn" While your reporter was evidently
influenced by the kindest feelings toward the
Twenty second Regiment, he has given the i'm
preston that the Twenty-secOnd is Jealous of
the Seventh Regiment. This is not So Between
the two organizations there is the friendliest
feelings. Each of them moves in its own sphere;
neither approaches the other.
The Twenty second recognizes tho position of
the seventh, unique in many respects. and does
not think that to cxalt itself the older organiza-
tion need be attacked. As 70 the march of tho

FOR A GREATER TULARE,
An improvement Association
Organized by Leading
Citizens.
Its Object Is to Beautify the Town
and Advertise Its Varied
Resources.

TULARE, CAL, May s.-For the past
few days there has been much talk among
business men here as to the forming of an
improvement association, which should
have greater significance than mere name,
and the movement erystalized into meet
ing tonight for the purpose of organiza-
ton. The promoters are among the younger
and more enterprising citizens and they
are thoroughly in earnest. To-night's
meeting was not a perfunctory gathering
to pass resolutions and indulge in speeches,
but meant earnest work for the welfare of
Tulare.
The meeting was held at the City Hall.
w. P. Ratliff was elected president and NJ.
C. Zumwalt secretary. The following pros
pectus was submitted as a basis of organi-
zation:
We, the undersigned, for the purpose of aug
menting the business interests of the City of
Tulare and vicinity, increasing its population
and promoting its general prosperity and we'll
being, do hereby associate ourselves together
and do mutually agree TO labor for the accom-
plishment of the aforesaid purposes In wit
ness we hereunto sign our names and pay q
membership fee of 81.
A committee of five was appointed on
permanent organization as follows: J. w.
Davis, A. G. Wishon, C. s. Nicewonger, D.
J. F. Reed, NJ. C. Zumwalt. One of the
duties of this committee is to select a name
for the new organization. The next meet
ing will be held at the chairman's call,
probably by the end of the week. Messrs.
A. O. Erwin, A. P. Hall and V. W. Tyler
were appointed a committee to solicit
membership.
This association will act on the general
plan of similar organizations recently
formed in larger cities. One of the pur-
poses of the association is to make Tulare

half hour in the day different committee
! is in session, and every evening the execu-
tive committee meets and the different
chairmen report progress.
The idea of general carnival origin ated
with charitable organization-the United
Aid Society-which has given rose fairs in
the proceeding springs. But the idea
spread like wildfire, and it has passed into
other hands. Yesterday the United Aid
Society met and by unanimous vote waived
their rights and pledged themselves to the
common cause. Notification of this reso-
luton was sent to President Smith.
DR.. Doyle's offer to write an original
lbretto, entitled "The Masque of Cleopa-
ira, !" was accepted to-day. George Hast
ings will probably write the music. This
will be one of the most delightful parts of
the varied programme.
Drummers, agents, musicians and decora-
tors are coming to town soliciting orders
and positions, and the general manager is
kept busy answering their applications.
The plan of inviting all the prominent
citizens of the State is being attended to
daily. The answer to kilograms of invita-
tion are pouring in. Replies of acceptance
to-day have been received from Major
General William H. Dimond and staff,
Colonel R. II. Warfeld and Colonel w. D.
Sanborn.

ALL HEALDSBURG VOTING
Miss Emma Meiler Suddenly Advances
to First Place in the Carni-
val Contest.

HEALDSBURG, CAL, May 8. - The
voting contest is on in earnest now. Miss
Emma Meiler came forward to-day as a
formidable opponent, taking the first place.
Miss Mary Livernash received enough bal
lots to keep her in second place. The
friends of Miss Emma Widlund succeeded
in retaining that popular belle in third
place, with Miss Lena Zane fourth and
Miss Zoe Bates fifth.
The closing hours of the contest will wit
ness a merry battle. Indeed, so great is
the interest taken in the selection of a
queen that it is expected not less than
1000 votes will be cast to-day and to-
morrow.
The executive committee of the Healds-
burg Floral Association held an impor-
tant meeting tonight, which was largely
attended by others interested in the three
days fiesta. The committee on decoration
and parade made an encouraging report.
The business men, without exception,
will decorate, and the thoroughfares, in
Guiding the Plaza, will present slightly
appearance The carnival colors-old gold
and blue-will be largely used, and from
every flagstaff "Old Glory" will be un-
fur led.
Perhaps the most extensive decorations
will be on the public square, the floral
tower in the center being an important
feature. Eighteen hundred feet of wire is
being hung, and from it large numbers of
incandescent electric lights will illuminate
the center of the tower. Open-air concerts
from the bandstand, Immediately below
the tower, will be held.
The Healdsburg College will participate
in the parade, sending a handsomely
decorated float, upon which the young
lady students will ride, while the gentle
men attending will march. The entire fire
department will be in the pageant, all the
apparatus being profusely decorated.
The knighthood tournament has ten
contestants, embracing the most expert
horsemen in the county.

Roscoe Rooeer Conrtcted.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May S.-The jury
in the case of "Kid" Thompson, on trial
for train robbery and murder at Roscoe,
after having been out forty y-eight hours,
to-day returned verdict of guilty, and
recommended that Thompson be hanged.
Thompson had been charged with the
crime in confession of Alya Johnson, who
assisted in the raid.
Thompson, who was as pale as corpse,
turned to the jury when the verdict fixing
the penalty at death was announced, shook
his head carelessly and forced his pallid
lips into a sardonic smile. When he was
conducted back to Jail he said:
Nothing worse than being hung; but
I'll fool them this trip. Before go to the
gallows will cut my throat from ear to

DROWNED NEAR ASTORIA.
Tsco Fishermen Caught IN the Breakers

Ttco Fishermen Caught In the Breakers
at the Mouth of the Columbia.
ASTORIA Or, May Sired Peterson
and his boat-puller, both fishing for Kin
ney's cannery, were caught in the breakers
off Peacock Spit, near the mouth of the
river, this morning, and drowned. A heavy
wave threw them both out of the boat at
the same time, but the next breaker
brought them back to it and they managed
to clutch the side. They were seen to
hang on for minute, until another wave
smashed the boat to pieces and threw them
under the water. Neither of them rose,
and though the lifeboat reached within $50
yards of where they disappeared its crew
never caught sight of them again.
Peterson was one of the oldest and best
fishermen here, and has long been noted
as a man who would take any kind of
chances to get fish, however dangerous the
locality. There is no hope of recovering
the bodies, as they have undoubtedly been
washed out to sea.

berry.

NAPA, CAL, May 8.-Posses are scour-
ing the country in pursuit of the highway
men who robbed the stage near Mirabel
yesterday. They do not believe the rob-
bers had an opportunity to leave the vi
cinity and are confident of capturing
them. 1t appears that the holdup took
place on the border of Napa County and
the officials of that county have Joined in
the search.
Oscar Sutro, nephew of Mayor Sutro,
passed through here on southbound
train tonight for San Francisco. He said
the stage was held up in Napa County and
that he was also stopped by the robbers
only few minutes after they finished the
work on the stage passengers. He was
riding horse on the county road and met
the two masked men. who ordered him to
dismount. He quickly obeyed, but they
did not take his valuables and soon let
him go on.
Sutro afterward saw them as they passed
his uncle's place, Arcadia, after they had
taken their masks off. He says they were
both very yOung-looking men. One, he
noticed particularly. was smooth shaven
and very much tanned from the sun. They
were also seen by negro who was work
ing on the Sutro place, who saw them go
out oyer the trail leading toward Bear
Valley, in Lake County. That section is
now the main point of interest to the
searching parties.
The Sheriff of Lake County and Marshal
Nash of Calstoga think they know who
the parties are. Nash returned to Calls
toga tonight, but will not give out any in
formation. Sheriff Mckenzie left here to-
night to join the search, his interest in the
hunt having much increased when it ap-
peared that the work was probably done
in his own county.

Grady stated that he had arrested sail

Thomas Andrews, who served as a
special officer for some time, testified that
the chief and sergeant had asked him to
share with them the reward he obtained
for arresting drunken Indians. He also
swore that gambling was being carried on
openly in Chinatown. His evidence
caused sensation, as the chief and pre-

scarcely any gambling now in the city.
