POMONA, CAL, April IA historic
figure, in the person of Colonel James J.
Ayers, is alarmingly i'll with pulmonary
trouble at his home near Azusa, and his
friends despair of his recovery. He has
been failing for over year, but brief
stay upon the desert last season, where he
breathed the dry, hot air, restored him
temporarily.
Colonel Ayers is one of the argonauts
and one of the best-known men in South
ern California. He was editor of the Los
Angeles Express for years, and later was
editor OF the Los Angeles Herald for
twelve years. He was State Printer when
Stoneman was Governor He was in. San
Francisco from 1850 to 1867 and was init
mately acquainted with the actors of early
days N that City. The colonel was some
thing of an actor himself when young
man, and his recollections of the salad
days of Edwin Booth, Lawrence Barrett
and John Mccullough in the old Cali
fornia Theater are very interesting. He
has spent much of The past few years in
writing his recollections OF men and
events from 1S49 to 1884. and has planned
to publish book, but mis- failing health
has kept him from finding publisher.

POMONA, CAL. April IA. -. Solomon
Gates, founder of Pomona, died here this
afternoon. He was attacked by appendi-
citis on Monday. An operation was per-
formed yesterday and he died in agony
to-day.
Cafes was one of five men who organ
lied the first grange in California, and he
went into every county ana LOCALITY in the
State year after year from 1872 10 1877 in
stiiuting local oranges and adding to the
mem bership OF The order. He was the
best-known man in the grange on this
coast for several years. and was often arbi-
traitor in trouble between farmers and the
railroad company.
In 1879 Gates and several other grangers
bought tract of land where Pomona has
since grown. Their purpose was to cre-
ate here a colony on grange principles.
Gates was permitted to name the new col
ony and he selected Pomona because that
is the name of the officer in the grange

SEATTLE. WASH. April 14-Nearly
all the naval officers in these waters are
of the opinion that the executive officers
on board the Oregon and those in charge
of the Port Orchard naval station will be
fortunate If they escape q court martial in
consequence of the settling of the battle
ship upon a rock or reef in the harbor ap.
proach to the Government drydock on
Sunday afternoon. Certainly court of
inquiry will be held, and if the disclosures
warrant it a court-martlal will result,
dragging in, in all probability, Naval
Constructor Capps, Captain Barker. who
was in com mand of the ship Commandant
Whiting, who has charge OF the station,
and several subordinate officers. Then,
also, the original blame attaching to the
drydock contractors and those charged
with the work of providing safe harbor
entrance to the dock will be placed
To-day's inquiry and investigation fully
confirm the story of mishap as outlined in
these dispatches yesterday. If anything
it will be found that the damages are of
an even m ore serious nature. Yesterdays
expectation of Naval Constructor Capps
that the water would be sufficiently low
cred in the dock to-day 20 disclose the cx-
act nature OF the injury was not realized.
1t was given out this afternoon by Cap
tain Barker that owing to the slow work
OF cleaning The vessel as the water was
pumped out an inspection of the damages
could net be made before Friday after
noon. Meanwhile Com mmander Barker be-
heves they are not serious and in support
OF his opinion he stated to-day that he
would not be afraid to take the Oregon to
sea In her present condition. He made
this declaration in the face OF the fact that
subordinate officer. in letter to a naval
otncer solournlng here, stated that he
never In his experience at sea got such
shaking up in consequence of the Gre
CONS rolling propensites as he did while
the ship was en- route from the Golden
Gate to the rats.
The CALLS correspondent learned to-
night from reliable source that an an
spection of the interior OF the Oregon re-
veaied that the floors and plating OF four
com partments were damaged. One is on
the starboard and three on the port side
While no leaks were sprung, this damage
Is more or less serious, and the full ex-
tent can only be ascertained with the re-
moval of the water from the dock. Two
or three frames were bent and the plating
OF the forward turret and fireroom dished.
Barker is criticized for allowing the Ore
gon to remain m0ored so close to the dock
entrance sthe tide lowered, and the crit
les say he should have had proper sound
lngs made, Notwithstanding the official
declaration and pronunciamento % following
the completion OF the drydock, to the
effect that the shalowest place in the en-
tire harbor at extreme low tide measured
twenty-six feet. or two feet more water
than is drawn by the Oregon.
