RAIN GENERAL
IN CALIFORNIA
Heavy Precipitation in
Many Sections.
THE SAN JOAQUIN BLESSED
DOMINIQUE IN PORTIONS OF THE
VALLEY.
Indications Announced by the
Weather Bureau for To-Day Are
That the Showers Will
Continue.

San Francisco got another drenching
yesterday. For few hours the clouds
opened and not only this city, but the
entire State from Oregon to the Mexi-
can line, got share of the
golden drops. The rainfall here for
twenty-four hours, as reported by the
local forecast official, amounted to .3S
of an inch. At San Luis Obispo the
heaviest fall occurred. At Los Angeles
rain fell last night, while at Fresno
there was but a trace of rain. Portions
of the San Joaquin Valley were in the
path of the storm, and at Bakersfield
there was heavy fall of rain.
The storm moved rapidly northeast
ward and is now central in the British
Possessions north of Washington.
Rain is billed generally for the
coast to-day, with light, variable winds.
The winds on the coast incline west
erly, but the pressure continues to fall,
thus indicating that it will be safe to
carry an umbrella for the greater por-
ton of to-day, at least.

DID THIEVES FIRE
THE WINDSOR HOTEL?

NEW YORK, March ia mass of
testimony is accommodating tending to
snow that the Windsor Hotel fire hor-
ror was of incendiary origin; that the
motive was robbery, and that in some
cases at least the thieves were success
full. From all sides come corroborative
evidence of the presence of thieves in
the building at the very beginning Of
the fire. They sprang up on the differ
ent floors with the flames, and even
cloaked their purpose under pretense of
assisting those in distress.
Startling as any that has come from
a survivor of the fire is the story told
by Mrs E. w. Sherwood, a writer
Mrs. Sherwood was In the apartments
OF Mrs. Abner Mckinley, who had in
Yited her to share a view of the st.
Patrick's day parade from the windows
OF her rooms. Mrs. Sherwood's apart
ments were on the sixth floor on the
Forty-siXth-street side of the hotel and
did not command a good view Of Fifth
avenue. Mrs. Sherwood gladly accepted
Mrs, Mckinley's offer and was seated
at one of the windows when the alarm
of fire was given.
Mrs. Sherwood dashed from the Nc
Kinley apartments and sought escape
through the hallway. 1t was then
comparatively free from smoke and she
could see without difficulty. In the ex-
element of the moment she stood near
the door of the rooms she had Just
left, thinking which was the nearest
and safest exit. Mrs. Sherwood is
wealthy and has, or had, many jewels
Diamond rings were on the fingers of
both her hands. A man ran up to her
and making a pretense of assisting her
seized one hand in both of his and be-
gan trying to slip the rings from her
fingers. When she realized his real mo-
tive she screamed, and being strong
and agile for person of her years be-
gan to beat the thief off. The thief
fought with her for possession of the
rings. No one for an instant paid any
attention to either of them in the ex-
element. A fireman finally dashing
through the hall went to Mrs. Sher-
woods assistance and the thief beat a
retreat.
Mrs. Sherwood says she is positive
the hotel was set on fire in several
places at once by thieves for the pur-
pose Of plundering.

not willing to let this last chance 60
1t was like the recent rain TO the Iar-

they had pledged themselves only the
night before to make no requests for
a postponement Wolfe rose to see what
he could do as a last effort.

suppose this is the only thing in order?
Is there no other course open 10 US put

we could do something more than
merely print in the journal these SEN
timentS which come so forcibly from
the Governor. They are the senti-
ments of every good and true Repub-
lican in California, and how Will we
look our constituents in the face fair
~ after ignoring such a plea as this? Is
there nothing else we can do? Is there
no other way? Must we pass this by
with no further comment or action
than to order it printed in the
journal?"
1t was as close as Wolfe could get to
the line without breaking the pledge
so solemnly, if unwillingly, given last
night Had there been a word of en-
coura cement, even the faintest promise
of support, the pledge would have been
in the air and the battle would have
been on again to rage to the last flying
minutes of the session. But there was
no support for him and the only one
who spoke was Boyce.
Il believe the Republicans will justly
and fairly judge US for what We have
DONE" was all he said, and the silence
which followed seemed to indicate that
he voiced the sentiments of the Senate.
There was no roll call. The ayes were
put and brought a few responses. The
call for the noes met only silence. and
the Governors message went off to the
printer and the journal.
