Harvest Prospects

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S.-The fol-
lowing is summary of the Weather
Bureaus bulletin Of the crop and climate
conditions throughout the State for the
week ending January 18th:
The rainfall for the past week was gem
orally below the normal. In the northern
portion Of the State naturally the de-
ficiency is most marked. The rains of
the 18th and 18th were widespread, and
while moderate in amount were very
beneficial, and served to allay somewhat
the anxiety of the farmers. A good, soak
ing rain is, however, much needed. The
rain of the week permitted the resump-
tion of plowing and seeding, which in
many localities had been stopped.
The temperature was below the aver
age, and in many sections as much as s
degrees colder. Frosts were frequent,
but the damage appears to be slight.
The cold weather has also retarded the
growth of feed, and in some localities
the outlook for feed and hay is discour-
aging. The cold weather will prevent
premature budding of fruit trees. Or
chardists and vineyardists are pruning.
A little grain has been rotted in the
ground, but on the whole, 1t is doing
fairly we'll. Orange growers are busy
picking fruit and shipments will be
large.

RAIN FOR THE FARMERS.
Showers Are Expected Within the
 Next TWenty-four Hours.

The severe westerly winds that blew over the city yesterday will in all proba- bility be the effect of causing a general rainfall along the coast. Acting Forecast Official McAdie claims that if the present condition of the atmosphere continues the rain will undoubtedly fall within the next twenty-four hours.
 The wind swept over the city yesterday afternoon a the rate of thirty-sfx miles an hour, and causing regular typhoons around the corners Of large buildings. At Mount Tamalpais the velocity was regis tered at thirty miles.
 Although it blew heavily along the coast the winds were general throughout the entire State, being caused by bank of high pressure existing inland:
 A slight rain fell at Red Bluff last even ing and was still falling at the time the last forecast was taken at 5 clock yes terday afternoon. At Eureka .02 of an inch fell. but was the result of showers entirely, there being no indication of a heavy rainstorm. It is anticipated that showers will fall throughout the State generally, but whether they will be severe enough to satisfy the present dry con- dition of the crop Is a matter or con- lecture.

privilege enjoyed by the others, and should it be necessary to take such action the company could, in short or der be in a position to fulfill it's guar antee to the Mayor to save the city 1000 year on public lighting
 This is not the first time the Mutual Company has had to make legal fight for its rights In 1896 the Board of Su- pervisors instructed Superintendent of streets AshWorth to prevent the com- pany from erecting poles around the Blythe property in order that 1t might carry out a contract with the lesSeeS for lighting the premises. Application for an injunction restraining Ashworth from interfering was dismissed in the Superior Court, and the matter was carried to the Supreme Court. In an opinion written by Justice Temple and concurred in by Justices Henshaw and Macfarlane, overruling the decision Of the lower court, it was stated that the opposition to the plaintiff was clearly shown to emanate from the Edison Electric Light Company, since absorbed by the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company, and that Ashworth and cer- tain of the Supervisors had admitted such to be the case. The opinion says in part: That discrimination is unlaw ful, and therefore the Board of Super visors and the Superintendent act ille- gally when they order the arrest of plaintiffs employees for doing that which is freely permitted to the rival and favored company"
 This decision in itself would seem to give the rival company full authority to proceed with the extension of it's service wherever it may see fit to do so.
 Meanwhile the big company is prom ised some distressing times with its patrons regarding it's Quick-consump- tiOn meters.

CONSUMERS OPEN REVOLT
Victims of Quick Consumption Meters and ExOrbitant Rates Pre-
 pairing for War.

The San Francisco Gas and Electric Company is making desperate efforts to choke off all competitors for the con- tract for lighting public buildings and outside districts.
 The guarantee of a rival company the Mutual-to perform the same serv- ice at an annual saving to the city of $40, ,000 has caused the greatest conster- nation among the officials of the big corporation, and they are bending every energy to prevent their oppo- nent from placing itself in a position to carry out the terms of the contract. This guarantee, which is undoubtedly made in good faith, also serves to show the taxpayers how a large amount of money has been drained from the treasury in the past that could have been saved had the former Board of Supervisors dealt honestly by the peo- pie and allowed competition to enter the field.

INSANITY TO
 BE HIS PLEA Haynes, the Murderer of Lieutenant Burke, in
 Court.
Arrangements for the Funeral To-Day Have Been Com
 pleted.
Conduct of Policemen Wilkinson, Kennedy, MarlOwe and Merchant
 to Be Investigated.

Theodore Park Haynes, the murderer of Lieutenant Burke, appeared in Judge Conlan's court yesterday morning. The Judge instructed him as to his rights and asked him if he had an attorney to represent him.
 How long have I been in the ser vice?" replied Haynes, as he placed his right hand to his ear.
 The Judge wants to know if you have a lawyerl" shouted Prosecuting Attorney Mogan.
 Yes" replied Haynes. Sweeney"
 Attorney Sweeney was in court and asked for continuance of a week, as by that time the Coroner's inquest would have been held and then he would be ready to proceed. The con- tinuance was granted and Haynes was taken back to the prison.
 His attorney makes no secret of the fact that the defense will be insanity. There is no other hope for him, but Chief Lees is not afraid of being able to combat successfully such a plea, as he believes that Haynes is as sane as the man he killed.
 A lot of curious people, men and women, visited the prison yesterday to have a look at the murderer. To any of them who spoke to him he was ready to talk of the way the police and everybody else tried to rob him of his land. and he did not express the slightest regret for the cold-blooded murder he had committed.
 All arrangements for the funeral of the dead lieutenant were completed yesterday by Chief Lees and Captain Gillen. A detachment of fifty men from Companies A, under Captain Whitman, B, under Captain Spillane and D, under Captain Gillin, will as- semble at the residence of the de ceased, 23S Shotwell street, at 9:3o cession will start from the residence to the church of St. Charles Borromeo on Eighteenth street at 9:45, where requiem high mass will be celebrated. The service will take from forty five minutes to an hour. From this church the cortege will proceed to Valencia street and along that street to Twenty fifth street, where the steam cars will be in waiting to convey the party to Holy Cross Cemetery, where the in- terrnent will take place. Captain Spii- lane will proceed with thirty-five men to the cemetery and the other men will return to their different divisions.
 The pallbearers will be Lieutenants | Birdsall. Bennett, Esola and Hanna and Sergants Price, Mooney, McManus 1 and Donovan.
 The conduct of Policemen Wilkin- son. Kennedy Marlowe and Merchant. who were with the lieutenant when he was shot, was harshly criticized by the public and officers in the depart ment yesterday, and it was reported that Ii will form the subject for a thorough investigation by the Police Commissioners.

Mrs. Holmes Loses Her Case.

William F. Holmes was railroad em- ploye of the Southern Pacific Company, and while coupling cars near Peralta sta- tion, Oakland, he was crushed to death between two freightcars. His widow, Lil- Han Holmes, brought an action for dam ages against the company. alleging that her husbands death was caused through the negligence of the defendant. The latter denied being negligent, and as serted that Holmes had been guilty of contributory negligence. The principal contention was upon the construction of the two cars and their couplings, which were of different standards. The widow won the suit in the lower court. but yes terday the Judgment was reversed by. the Supreme Court, which took the position that the switchman should have been familiar with the couplings of the cars he was to have joined, especially. as the company's rules insisted on his having that knowledge.
