In for his share of the blame, as, being

BILE influence, he was not successful in
averting the apparent jobbery of those in
command. Ex-Lieutenant Ralph who

and who is acknowledged to be as good a
tactician as there Is in the Seventh regi-
ment, telegraphed his application for the
second lieutcnantship, when informed by
Captain Thomas of the condition of at
fairs, but nothing has been heard from
headquarters to date. However, from in
formation that can be gathered from those
who have heard by letter or otherwise
from the Preside, 1t appears that the
scheme as planned was successfully ex-
ecuted before Senator Androus or anyone
else realized what had happened. so con-
fiaent were the general public that Lieu

RAISED $500

an Emergency Fund
RIVERSIDE. May 12.-Nearly $500 was
raised yesterday and today by public SUBJ
scription to be sent to Company M to be
used by the boys in cases Of emergency
when they are far from home, fighting in
the Philippines. The subscription paper
was circulated but very short time before
the money was raised, all of which indicates
that the Riversiders who stay at home are
determined that their representatives at
the front shall be remembered in a SUBJ
stantial way. The money will be for
warded to the officers of the company to-
day by wire, so that 1t can be in their hands
before orders to go are given.
One effect the present war will have is 10
keep many Riversiders who spend their
summers at the coast at home or else send
them to the mountains instead. Many have
given up the notion of going to the coast al
ready, and are fitting out for a camping trip
in the mountains, where they are sure tina t
the very best guns the Dons have cannot
reach them.
Some weeks ago ]. A, Simms offered 10
build and fit up quarters for the downtown

quarters for about $50 a month, in which
case the city is likely to accept.

Users of Artesian Water to Make a
Desperate Struggle

SAN BERNARDINO, May 12.-The al
legged attempt of Riverside parties and Los
Angeles bankers--the latters through their
Cotton orchards-to rob the people of this
valley of the artesian water is to be fought
most bitterly in the courts, and, If the peo-
pie do not get their rights there. II Is evil
dent the fight will be carried further BY
placing heavy pumps, attached to large 10
inch wells, the capitalists are draining all
the artesian wells of the valley, and, unless
stopped, 81, DOC, 900 will not begin to pay for
the loss to the settlers, for it will make the
whole valley a desert. A meeting was held
and a committee appointed to commence
the fight, but the committee thought it
would take $4,000 to carry the case through
the courts, and at meeting last night re-
rorted that it could not raise the money
and asked to be discharged. This was
granted and another committee of five was
appointed to make the fight on the idea that
much less money would be necessary. This
committee is to report Saturday evening rs
to the most feasible move to be made. 1t is
claimed that, as it is domestic water that is
being taken, the law will prove to be on the
side Of the settlers, and they fell very sure
of winning and of being able to put stop
to the pumping of the water from the ar
tesian belt and the taking of it outside for
other uses.
