"Pharoah's Gold'-Here is presented an

Only the entrance is represented with stat

the subject of this float. Moses, with the

1t was the intention to continue 1.-THE

MARK Is POSITIVE
That the Court Of Inquiry Report Is
Correct


NEW YORK, March g. Lieuten-
ant-Commander Mark. Judge-Advocate
Of the Court of Inquiry into the
cause of the Maine disaster, has
resumed his duty as officer Of the receiv-
ing ship Vermont.
The commander, released from the oath
Of office in relation to the blowing up Of
the battleship, has this to say:
1--WE know that the Maine was blown up
by mine as surely as physician knows a
man was poisoned when he finds him suf-
fering from the effects of such poison"
I suggested that the conclusion of the
board seemed hased on circums tantial evil
dence.
Surely" exclaimed Mr.. Mark, "you
have not read carefully the report Of the
board or you would not feel particle of
doubt as to how the Maine was destroyed.
The evidence was circums tantial, it is ture,
in the sense that we did not find any rem
nant Of the mine or find the person whose
hand caused the explosion, but it is con-
elusive.
1.-THE Names keel was found blown up
ward. her plates were blown inward, and
nothing on earth except a mine could have
produced that result. The effect of the
explosion of mine on a ship is as well
known as poison upon the human system.
"The wreck Of the Maine was the mute
incontestable evidence Of the explosion OF
a mine, and after exhaustion of all avail.
able evidence the board has so reported"

mated cost of this main building Is $35, 900,
and the balance of the $4,000 appropriated

Medical superintendent from $500 to
$4,000, the assistant physicians $4,000, and the
second assistants $1,000. Salaries for the

Judson Brings Good News to jackson,
Pininr in Jail

Pining in Jail
RIVERSIDE, March SID. T. jackson,
the alleged swindler. was lodged in the
county jail last night, having failed to fur
nish the $1,000 bond Imposed by the exam
lining magistrate who held him for trial in
the superior court. jackson tried to get
bondsmen in San Bernardino. but the boys
over there are afraid of him, and he will in
consequence have to take his chances in
the Jug with the rest of the hobos and
hard characters.
A. F. Judson Of Cotton, who is quite
friendly to jackson, was here today to fet
the latter know that he Judson) had re-
ceived a letter from M. w. Clay, the king
pin swindler of the bunch, and that Clay
stated that he was coming out here with all
kinds Of money for the purpose Of fighting
the accusers Of both him and Jackson.
When jackson received this word he braced
up, and It was easy to be seen that he still
entertained hopes Of acquittal.
1t is needless to add that the officers here
take no stock In the alleged letter which
Judson says he has received. They do not
think for moment that Clay is going to
place his precious body In position to be
gathered in and Jailed. One thing is GER

the alternative of going or being sent to

Benjamin johnson, brother of Oscar
Johnson, the Swede, who was found MUIR
time ago, is in the city, having come from
Cripple Creek to settle up his unfortunate
brothers business. The dead man was the
owner Of some very promising mining pros
poets in the Corn Springs mining district,
and it is believed that 1t was the desire of
the murderers to get Johnson out Of the
way SO they could jump his mines when the
crime was committed.
Harry Thornton and Patrick Tierney,
who broke jail here some time ago, but
were recaptured before they could get
away, were placed on trial today.
Robert Hathaway, the Temecula rancher
who was arrested a few days ago on a
charge of resisting an officer, was today
sentenced to serve a term of nine months
in the county jail as punishment for his
crime.
The Sunset Telephone company has been
quietly securing through right of way for
its main line between this city and Cotton
and today the company's agent here placed
on record deeds for a complete right of
way. This is over a somewhat different
route from that which the lines of the
company has SO long occupied. The COM
pany has been at work for some time i'm

part of the general plan Of improvement.

THE STORIES OF GOLD
FIESTA FLOATS AND THE SUB
JECTS REPRESENTED
TWELVE GORGEOUS TABLEAUX
California and the Golden Gate--The
Treasure House Of the Pha-
raohs-The Cave

The Fiesta floats are fast approaching
completion. 1.-THE Stories of Gold" are be-
ing told, and each bit of history, legend or
novel is lavishly adorned with gold leaf and
gliding. 1t has been the idea of the float
committee to touch history, poetry, fiction
and folklore in 'The Stories of Gold,'' to
reach the widely different taste of the pub
lie in the twelve tales told by the moving
pictures. To this end each float is COM
plete story and has no connection with the
others, and the sketches from the ancient
days of early Greece to the Klondike are in
teresting to each and all.
The students of the Los Angeles Business
college have most kindly consented to pose
as the living characters on the floats, and
the public knows how admirably they car
ried out their part Of the program last
year.
Five Of the twelve floats have already
been described In the columns of The Her.
aid. the subjects being as follows: 1.-The
Golden Fleece 1.-THE Rhine Gold" "The
Alchemist," 1.-THE Golden Spurs and ''The
Klondike Gold"
The seven remaining floats are quite orig
inal in conception and are well carried out
in their design and execution.
California the Golden state, leads
them all. Enthroned upon car Of state,
with Pomona upon her right and Ceres
upon her left and the bear at her feet, CAL
ifornia looks with prophetic eyes out across
the Golden Gate, which glitters under the
rays of a very realistic setting sun. A
group Of miners is in the foreground, and
the golden poppy is blooming riotously at
the base of the car Of state.
1.-THE Golden Age'-This pretty float de-
picts a scene from Bernardin de Saint
Pierre's Paul and Virginia." A lovely spot
In the Isle Of France. where the mountain
echoes ever repeat the sough Of the wind
and the roar of the surf upon the rocks
peace is in the air and upon the waters. In
the soft light rise waving, broad-leaved
bananas and the towering palmetto trees,
while flowers and birds and butterflies add
to the landscapes charm The float repre-
sents the entrance to forest glade, where
in the opening vistas we see Paul and Vir-
ginia swinging together. The charm of
youth and beauty and grace is in the youth
full figures and childish abandon of happy
enjoyment.
1.-THE Monte-Cristo Gold"-Here is repre-
sented scene from Dumas Count of
Monte Cristo." The float is the secret grot-
to where Edmond Dantes discovered the
great treasures on the Monte Cristo isle.
He has burst the fastenings Of the Golfers
and the blazing piles of golden coins are
all around him. Diamonds, pearls. rubies
and jewels are touched with the magic of
moonlight. Monster crabs and Holsters
and other sea life form details at the base
of the float.

PROSPECTS FOR FRUIT
Not As Much Damage From Frost As
Was Anticipated


SAN BERNARDINO, March 31.-Reports
have been coming in lately from different
sections In regard to the damage to the de-
ciduous fruits by the late frosts. and pros
poets are much brighter than was antici-
pated. The most serious damage was to
the almonds, which blossom early and are
almost entirely destroyed for this year.
This, however, cuts but little figure in this
county, as the output is very light an al
monds. Apricots come next and among
the Royals the damage was considerable
in cold belts. as the unnaturally warm
weather the first of the month forced the
apricot trees to bloom before It was safe
to do so. the result being that while partly
in blossom, and in some localities fully so,
the frost came and destroyed uhe fruit.
Later varieties are still safe and even the
Royal will be nearly II not quite half the
usual crop. Peaches are but slightly in
jursd, as the trees had only commenced to
bloom when the cold wave came, and they
are now making up for lost time. s. A.
Pease, horticultural commissioner, spent
two days in the western end of the county
and finds the prospects for decduous fruits
in that section far ahead of what was ex-
pected. In prunes and plums there will be
4 very full fruitage If no more frosts &C.
cur. Especially is this true about Ontario
and along the foothill region.

work of development. Messrs. Collins and
Noble hoe been in the bicycle business

vote their undivided time to their mines.
Mr.. Johnson is a capitalist. who recently
arrived here from British Columbia, where
he made fortune in mining. The parties
have just received an assay report from
the mine, which places the value Of the
ore at 8 ounces of gold and 20 ounces of sill
yer to the ton. The ledge is eight feet thick,
which would indicate that the company has

GERMAN HUNGER
Would Make Slice Of Liberia Very
Welcome

NEW YORK, March S1.-Joseph Hart
zell, an American Methodist Bishop in At
RIGA, who has just arrived from the Dark
Continent, says that while he was in Ii
IBERIA a German gunboat arrived ,and de-
manded s11, 500 indemnity for an alleged
offense to a. German subject. The indem-
nifty was calculated as follows: For dam
age to property $500; $500 for threatening
to stab the German, and $45OO for the ex-
pense of collecting the money with gum
boat.
President Coleman refused to pay, where
upon the commander of the gunboat told
him that Germany would waive the claim
for the indemnity If treaty was entered
into placing Liberia under Germany's pro-
tectorate.
This was also declined, and President
Coleman authorized Bishop Hartzell to en-.
deavor to move England and the United
States to back Liberia in its effort to re-
main independent of German and French
interference.
The Bishop says he has laid the matter
before the British government and now
intends taking 1t to the government at
Washington.
