San FRANCISCO Flooded.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-The city was
recently visited by a peculiar storm,
the like of which is not recalled by To-
cal residents. A high wind suddenly
sprang from the northwest, bringing
with it a hailstorm and a deluge Of
rain. For five minutes the rain fell
in perfect torrent, the streets being
quickly converted into rivers and the
crossings lakes foot deep, and the
sewers were suddenly checked. Flash
es of lightning and roaring of thunder
added to the severity of the storm. In
the business district cellars were flood
ed, and in the suburbs street car traf-
fic was interrupted. At Ingleside the
large crowd had difficulty in getting
home owing to street car track trouble.
The weather bureau reports that a
fifth Of an inch of rain fell in five min
utes.

New York, Aug. 16.-Joseph Pulitzer
has provided 100000 to establish a
school OF Journalism at Columbia Uni
versity, this city.
A new building for the school will be
erected on Morningside Heights at a
cost of $5OO,O00 for the school. which
will hold toward the university rela-
ton similar to that of other profess
sional schools, the law school, the
school of medicine and the school of
mines, and like them, will be national
in scope.
An important feature of the organi-
zation OF this school will be an advis-
ory board. nominated by the donor,
which will aid in devising plan and
course OF instruction.
Seven members of this advisory
board have already been named and,
with others to be elected, will be nom
mated by the trustees OF Columbia
University at their meeting in October.
They are: Nicholas Murray Butler.
president of Columbia University. ex-
off1cio; Whitelaw Reid, John Hay. sec
retary Of state; ST. Clair McKelway.
Andrew D. White, Victor F. Lawson of
Chicago; Charles H. Taylor of Boston,
and Charles w. Eliot, president of Har-
ward University.
In making announcement Of Mr..
Pulitzer's gift, the World says
"At the time of the last census there
were in the United States 141, 900 law
yers and 3O.908 persons classed as jour
nalists. The legal profession was pro-
vided with trained recruits by 100 law
schools. with 1.106 professors and in
structors. For fair proportion there
should have been at least twenty-six
colleges of journalism with faculties
291 strong.
There was not one. Not single
one of the 3O,9Os newspaper men and
women in the country had enjoyed
what lawyer would call systematic
professional training.

with persons who are entirely ignorant
as to what is being done In the de-
fense of the case. see nothing to crit
icise In the article.
THE article appears in several
places to intimate that the admins
tration does not appreciate the i'm
mense Importance of this suit. Such
a statement is entirely unfounded and
unworthy; every precaution has been
taken to see that all the interests of
this suit are cared for. 1t is strange
how many people believe they are the
only ones who really know how to do
a thing. 1t will be impossible at the
present time to disclose what arrange
ments have been made. We can not
try such matters in the newspapers;
1t is sufficient to say that they are en-
tlrely satisfactory to the persons whose
finances are involved in the water
rights of the Arkansas river.
"The best legal talent in the state
is secured to aid in this case. This
Office has done all in its power to as
sist in the gathering of evidence.
From our investigation we do not
hesitate to say that the sum appro-
priated is only adequate to cover this
phase of the case. We believe We
more fully appreciate the magnitude
and critical points of this litigation
than do those who would expend this
money in the employment of counsel.
We have been able to handle this suit
more efficiently by not investing the
money in attorneys, needlessly, when
the best can be- had through other
agencies"
Attorney General Miller says that
the state will employ no additional
counsel itself, but that 1t will have the
advice of four of the best attorneys
in the state, who have been engaged
by ditch companies made parties to
the suit. The $4,000 appropriated by
the Legislature he says will be used in
gathering the vast amount of evidence
needed in the case.

TRAINS WRECKED
BY CLOUDBURST

Denver, Aug. ia Republican spe-
cial from Buena Vista last night says:
Twenty-nine passengers were injured
in the Rio Grande wreck at Nathrop
last night caused by the collapse of a
bridge, and two trainmen in the wreck
on the Colorado & Southern. caused by
the same washout.
Nearly all the passengers injured in
the Rio Grande wreck were able to
proceed west on their trips, and the
few who were taken to the Salida hos
pital are recovering rapidly. None is
seriously injured. say the physicians.
To-day the railroad company COM
pleted temporary bridge and track
around the wreck and trains are run
ming tonight on time. 1t has been rain
ing hard again to-day. and in places
the storm was a waterspout, which has
caused the railroads to put extra gangs
Of trackwalkers and repairers out to
avoid another disaster.
That more were not injured in the
collapse of the bridge at Nathrop seems
miraculous, as 243 passengers were on
the train and the two coaches that
were wrecked were crowded.
Assistance was hurried to the scene.
the wrecking crew at Minturn not wait
ing for orders when it heard of the ac-
cident, while both from Buena Vista
and Salida doctors and nurses were
rushed off on special trains. as it was
reported that many had been killed.
The dining car was converted into a
hospital and the injured as soon as
cared for temporarily were placed in
Pullman berths.
In the darkness, with the flood wa
ters of the creek rushing near the
wrecked cars, families were separated
and friends lost in the tumult. and the
wreck seemed worse than it afterward
proved to be.
The wreck on the Colorado & South
ern was caused by landslide which
was started by the same cloudburst and
was only a short distance from the
scene of the Rio Grarde accident. The
two trainmen were caught in the
wreckage, but will recover from their
injuries. The engine and five cars

FIERCE BATTLE
WITH STRIKERS

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. 16-A clash
occurred early to-day between the
striking machinists and about twenty
five non-union men who took their
places in the Riverside plant Of the
United States Steel Corporation. The
battle was started Saturday night. De-
spite the fact that more than 1000
shots were fired there were no fatali-
ties and only a few persons were
wounded.
The machinists have been on
strike for several weeks and the stu
alton was becoming critical for the cor
poration until they imported about
about twenty men. The strikers last
night attacked the boarding houses of
the on-unionists. The houses were
heavily barricaded and many volleys
were fired into the structures. Finally
well-directed shot fom within the
house wounded one of the strikers. and
he was carried away. Clay Hoover, a
spectator. was also shot in the knee.
A number of other persons who were in
the building with the non-unionists re-
ceived wounds.
Tonight the strikers. who are lying
in the hills. fired on Peter Silatek, who
was passing that point, the strikers
mistaking him for a spy. The man
was seriously wounded.

Important Ditch Question,

The Denver Republican of August
18th says:
State Engineer Carpenter yesterday
received notice of an Injunction
against the state engineers office to
be issued by the District Court of Lar
inner county. The notice states that
the Larimer-Weld Reservoir Company
is about to ask for an Injunction. j.
l.. Armstrong and ]. ]. Armstrong are
included in the proposed injunction
and it is asked in the application to
the court, with which Professor Car
penter was served yesterday. that the
State Engineers Department be re-
strained from preventing the reservoir
company from taking water from its
ditch near Fort Collins. The ditch is
and the company claims the right, un-
der one and one-half shares it owns
in the ditch, to store water.
This same company some years ago
made similar application on another
share and a half which it owned at
that time. The matter was taken into
the courts with the result that the
company was not allowed to store the
water Now it comes into! court
again with the same question under
different share and half and will
ask that it be permitted to store this
water.
The land to be irrigated by the
ditch in question and the crops grown
thereon are of such a nature that the
water can not be used at every sea.
son of the year and the company be,
lieves it ought to have the right to
store the water when it can not use
it. By this means it can get all the
water that is coming TO it out of its
priority rights.
But it is contended on the other
hand by others interested in the wa
ter flowing into the ditch, that if the
water can not be used when it flows
through the ditch that the company
has no right to store it under its pri
ority rights. The matter will come uI

If Warden Cleghorn of the State
Penitentiary at Canon City executes
Harry King. the condemned colored
man, he will be, according to the
claims made by the prisoners attorney,
guilty of murder, as they argue that
the law fixing death as a penalty for
murder is unconstitutional. King was
found guilty of the murder of his wife
at Colorado Springs and was sentenced
to be hanged in the first week of No.
vember. Judge r. l.. Hubbard and C.
w. Dolph have prepared a petition to
the governor asking that the sentence
be commuted to life Imprisonment, and
if this is not granted they will at once
sue for an injunction against the war
den restraining him from carrying out
the order of the court. Their conten-
ton is that the bill was passed by the
Senate before the amendment provid-
ing for the infliction of the death PEN
atty by hanging had been placed on the

Shortage of State Funds.

According to an estimate prepared by
Auditor Holmberg. says the Denver
News Of August 14th, not one of the
state schools and but few of the state
charitable institutions will receive any
money this year under the new appro-
priation bill The recent action of the
state board of assessors in cutting the
valuation of property in accordance
with the cuts made by the state board
Of equalization on the corporate in
terests in the state. has decreased the
revenue for this year something more
than $150,O00.
The legislature, at the extra session.
appropriated money nearly $2000,000 in
excess of the expected revenue, and
this with the S150,000 reduction made
by the assessors shows $350,0O0 in
funds lacking to meet the items in the
appropriation bill.
The worlds fair appropriation is one
of the most important of these. This
appropriation is in the fourth class.
and there hardly seems hope now OF 1t
being paid. Commissioner-in-Ch Chief
Paul Wilson says, however. that Gov
ernor Peabody has assured him that
the money will be forthcoming, and he
is going ahead with his work.
