LIBRARY TRUSTEES ARE

Los Angeles Mayor Warmly Cham
pioning the Cause of Mrs.
Wadleigh

LOS ANGELES, March 24.-The merry
war between the trustees of the Public
Library and Mrs. Harriet C. Wadleigh,
librarian, into which Mayor Eaton has
injected himself. continues. Mayor Eaton
has asked for the designations of the IL
brary board.
II do not believe" said the Mayor 1.-The
present board is doing the public any
service. The sooner it's work is brought
to a close the better for everybody. Ger
tainly the board members are not doing
themselves any good by a continuation of
this fight. I have asked them to resign.
l am confident they will do so at to-mor-
rows meeting. If they do not, 1 will
make an effort to see that they are re-
moved
1t is whispered around the City Hall
that Councilman Toll tried to get the
members of the Council together for a
special meeting, If he had been able to
round up his colleagues and induce Presi-
dent Silver to call the meeting there
would be no library board to-day. Ger
tain members of the library board for a
time were ION the anxious seat" Some
were closeted early In the office of Presi-
dent Dockweiler. The board members
are not anxious to be forced out.
When President Dockweiler approached
Mrs. Wadleigh and demanded the keys,
books and papers, Mrs. Wadleigh replied
with emphasis:
II absolutely decline to turn over the
keys to you, Mr.. Dockweiler, and further,
l wish to say that l refuse to recognize
your demand on the ground that you have
failed to observe your own laws. The
board has declared that ! am no longer
librarian, but it has not shown that good
cause which it's laws demand and which
right and justice demand. Until that

CITY Water Mains Carried
Out by the Waters of
CoIaboose Creek
Special Dispatch to The Call.

RFDDING, March 24.-After steady
downpour extending over several days
a series of rain squalls of unprecedent-
ed violence broke over this city TINS
afternoon and flooded the streets with
an inch and a half Of water within
couple of hours. 1t was the haroest
rainstorrn experienced in years Inc
damage at this hour is hard to calcu-
late. So far as arc lights are concerned
the town is in darkness tonight. Inc
Sacramento River has reached a stage
which renders the water power plant
useless. Back water has flooded the
pump rooms. BY use of the auxiliary
steam plant the incandescent circuit is
working all right, but an alarming
feature has now presented itself by the
breaking of the city water mains.
Should a fire break out the town would
be at its mercy.
Calaboose Creek, which flows through
the city, taking up all the flood waters,
has become a torrential stream, wash
ing out 200 feet Of the water main lead
ing from the pumping station into the
city. 1t will be several days before the
damage can be repaired.

die Creek is under water in many
places ana Ddd WdSLoulS eA0 SPo4 -

DAMAGE DONE
BY THE FLOOD
AT SANTA CRUZ
Electric Power Is Shut Off,
Leaving the city in
Darkness.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA CRUZ, March 24.-It has
been raining all day, and at times the
rain fell in torrents. San Lorenzo
River has receded, but news comes
from all parts of the country of dam
age from the storm. The Big Tree
road is impossible between Santa Cruz
and FELTON,. There was an immense
slide at Rocky Point, and all the
travel is over Graham Hill road. A
citizen from FELTON, estimates that it
will take $1,000 to repair the road. The
road between FELTON, and Boulder
Creek is washed out. Telephone and
mail service between these places has
been cut off. Boulder Creek reports
sixteen inches Of rain for this storm up
to this morning, and for the season
5O.65 inches, against 1878 last year at
the same time. FELTON, reports sixteen
inches for the storm.
At Gold GuIch the mountain side
seems to be moving, and an avalanche
is feared.
The road up the coast is in bad con-
dition. The water at Liddell Greek
washed the county bridge out TO the
ocean. The Bonny Doom road is impas-
sable, and the mail carrier for the first
time since the postoffice was estab-
lished could not carry the mail.
On account of the high water at Big
Creek no electric power is furnished,
and in consequence Santa Cruz is in
darkness and without electric car SER
vice or any power to operate the powder
works. At the powder works a por-
ton of the fume has been washed
away and the dam of the Him Water
Works on Branciforte Creek has been
carried out.
The narrow gauge road is still
blocked and no trains arrived or left
this city to-day. The broad gauge was
almost as uncertain. The San Fran
cisco morning papers did not arrive un-
til after o'clock this afternoon, the
train being over two hours late. The
track beyond San Andreas was under
water for two miles, and passengers.
express and mail were transferred on
handcars.
At one time to-day all the telephone
lines to San Francisco, San Jose, Wat

Pools

Virginia Fair is to occur on April q. gave
his farewell bachelor dinner tonight at

off the main ballroom. Here was arranged
an oval table, hollow in the center, the
space being largely filled with two pools
Of water, in which swan ducks and gold
fish. Between the pools was cluster of
azaleas, in the midst of which played an
electric fountain. Around the inner edge
of the table was a border of potted
daisies and spring violets. The walls of
the palm room were covered with growing
vines of Japanese asparagus, and here
and there were hung cages containing
canary birds, which sang throughout the
dinner.
There was an Hungarian band stationed
just outside the palm room, but no other
music. Mr.. and Mrs Oelrichs, Miss Fair
and Mrs o. II. P. Belmont dropped in
for short time about an hour before dim
ner to take a look at the table
