said to the other:

WEATHER RECORD BROKEN.
Rain Falls Eighteen Days Out of
Twenty-Five.

1t has rained eighteen days out Of
the last twenty-five and more wet
weather may be expected. Incidental
ly the record for the number of rainy
DAYS in March has been broken.
The rainfall is 4.21 inches for the
month thus far. The precipitation in
March, 1879, was S.75 inches; in
March, 1889, 7.7S inches, and in
March, 1899 7.6S inches. The great
est average rainfall for any one month
was in January, 1862. when the pre-
cipitation was 24,26 inches. Last Feb
ruary at Bowmans Dam in Nevada
County the rainfall amounted to more
than 46 inches. The seasonal rainfall
is about normal this year.
The barometer fell slowly Yesterday
afternoon and a southeaster was rais-
ing big waves outside the heads at
nightfall Storm warnings were sent
out broadcast by the Weather Bu-
reau. Professor McAdie says that the
weather for the last three weeks is of
extraordinary interest to meteorolog-
ical students.
The worst feature of Yesterdays
storm was the volume of water it put
into the rivers. The Yuba, Sacrament
to, Bear, Feather and American riv-
ers are all running bankfull as it is
and when these streams get the new
flood to-day the result is likely to be
disastrous, according to McAdie. The
weather was warm enough to melt
the snow in the mountains yesterday
as well. Detrition has already weak
ened the levees in many places. The
Weather Bureau predicts more rain
for to-day for the whole of California.
The snowfall bulletin just issued by
the Department of Agriculture shows
that the precipitation in California is
trifie above the average.

RAILROADS DENY
LOWER RATES
Officials of Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe Confer
With the Orange Growers
SHIPPERS WILL FIGHT
Fruit Men Say That 81 % a
Hundred Is Excessive and
the Industry Will Suffer

LOS ANGELES, March 22-The con-
tween representatives of the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe railroads and
those of the California Fruit Agency
ended at a late hour this evening with
out definite results. The fruit men
asked for a reduction of 25 cents per
hundred pounds in the rate on oranges
from Southern California to Eastern
markets, which the railroads declare
they cannot grant. The present rate
is 81 rs per hundred pounds, and the
orange men assert that they cannot
pay it and make a living in the fruit
business. The matter rests where il
was before the conference, although the
fruit men declare they have not done
with the subject of rates and will con-
tinue their fight for lower rate.
The question of refrigerator charges
was not taken up at to-days meeting,
but will be considered at a later con-
ference to be held in a day or two.
The Southern Pacific was represented
in the conference by J. C. Stubbs, traf-
fic director: G. A. Parkyns, assistant
general freight agent, and E. o. Nc
Cormick, passenger traffic manager.
The Santa Fe's representative were
Paul Morton, vice president; w. B. Bid
die, freight traffic manager; w. A. Bis
sell, assistant general freight traffic
manager; Edward Chambers, general
freight agent, and J. L. Leeds, man
ager of the Santa Fe's Refrigerator
Dispatch. A. H. Naftzger and E. S.
Mculton looked after the interests of
the California Fruit Agency. The fruit
men issued a statement after the con-
ference detailing the matters consid-
cred and ending with the following dec
laration:
Every question bearing upon the
matters in hand was fully and freely
discussed, with the result that the petit
ton for reduction was denied by the
railroads upon the ground that they
could not afford to haul oranges for a
less rate than that now prevailing, viz,
81 % per 100 pounds.

READY FOR TESTIMONY
IN THE GOSTLIN CASE
Jury Is Secured at Auburn for Trial
of the Slayer of e. NJ.
Armstrong

AUBURN, March pa jury was Sc
cured late this afternoon in the trial
of Thomas Gostlin for the killing of
E. NJ Armstrong. Both sides have been
extremely careful in the selection of
the jury, which was not secured until
after the issuance of a second special
venire. Mrs. Armstrong and her sis
ter, Mrs Bowers, arrived from Wood
land, as did also Senator Diggs of
Marysville, who is executor of the
Armstrong estate. Gostlin's brother.
w. H. Gostlin, who is Postmaster at
Hammond, Ind, has been here for
week, and Gostlin's wife and eight chill
dren were also present from Sacra-
mento. Many witnesses were present,
and much interest centers in the case,
as it promises to be the most sensa-
tional trial in Placer County for many
years. The plea of the defense will be
temporary insanity, brought about by
mining troubles with the deceased and
also by the alleged undue friendship
of Armstrong and Mrs. Gostlin. The
jurors sworn in are: 1. d. Clapp. C.
F. Cushman, H. w. Davis, James
Croly, A A. German, r. P Dixon, w.
H. White, S. M. Stevens, w. J. Nc

RAIN FALLING
IN The SOUTH
Heavy Precipitation Begins
at Los Angeles With Pros
poets for Good Drenching
DAMAGE IN THE NORTH
Country About Vallejo Is
Saturated and People Are
Fearful Of the Floods

Los ANGELES, March 22.-The heav-
lest rainstorm of the season began in
Los Angeles at 1 o'clock this afternoon
and has continued steadily ever since
At 10 o'clock tonight the rainfall was
very heavy for half an hour and the
downtown streets We're impossible to
pedestrians. The low-lying residence
section of the city will probably suffer
damage from the flood waters if the
rainfall continues throughout the night.
Street cars on many lines are expe-
riencing much difficulty in making
their way over their routes. The rain
was not much needed at this time, but
will insure crops of every description.
Reports from other points in Southern
California tell of heavy rainfall.
SAN DIEGO, March 22-After sew
eral light showers during the afternoon
and evening, rain began to fall steadily
at 10 o'clock tonight.
FRESNO, March 22.-Fresno was
again blessed with a good rain to-day.
Nearly the whole day long the rain
has come down steadily, and at times
the downpour has been very violent.
The streets are filled with water and
things are wetter than ever before this
season. Many smiles can be seen on
the streets as the farmers of the COM
munity think of their crops and the
good that the rain will do them. Up to
o'clock this evening it has rained rs
of an inch and the storm is not yet
over The prospects for the county are
Frightening with the March showers.
SAN JOSE, March 22.-Heavy show
ers have fallen here this afternoon and
tonight, the measurement at IL D. m.
being 80 of an inch. Total for the sea-
son 11.03 inches; last year 1929 inches
VALLEJO, March 22.-With the
country hereabouts already thorough
ly saturated with water heavy rain
storm has been prevailing during the
past seven or eight hours and is rag
ing heavily tonight.
It seems certain that much damage
will be done to railroad and other
property. Much low land in this sec
ton is flooded and the roads are almost
impossible. The rainfall for the sea-
son exceeds seventeen inches.
HOLLISTER, March 22-Hollister
is having bounteous downpour. The
total rainfall is now over eight inches
at Hollister and in some parts of San
Benito County is as much as fifteen
inches. The orchards and alfalfa fields
are all being irrigated from the canal
with water taken from the river.

SAYS KILLING
WAS ACCIDENTAL
w. j. Singleton, Accused of
Murder in San Jose, Tells
Story for the First Time
ADVERSE TESTIMONY
Witnesses Declare Victim
Could Not Have Been Shot
as Defendant Says He Was
Special Dispatch to The Can. !.

SAN JOSE, March 22.-Accidental
killing is the defense urged by William
J. Singleton, the surveyor who is on
trial for the murder of Simon Bojor-
CUES on the night of November % last.
To-day the defendant went on the
stand and testified that what had every
appearance of a cold-blooded crime was
merely an accident
On the night of the murder Singleton
entered the saloon of Benjamin Bros,
corner of First and Market streets, in
this city. In. the place was Bojorgues,
Joe Patron, John Higgins and Joe Ben
jamin. Singleton had been drinking
He sat down at the table, and taking
a large revolver from his pocket placed
it on the table. Singleton imagined the
others present at the bar were talking
about him. When Bojorgues tried to
explain they were not, Singleton shot
him in the neck, death resulting in
stantly. Singleton then drew a big
dirk knife. Joe Patron, cousin of the
deceased, jumped on Singleton and
gave him a good beating. The murder
er then ran home, and a half hour later
when the police arrested him he was
asleep in bed.
Singleton. who was the only witness
for the defense, took the stand in his
own behalf. He said that when he en-
tered the saloon he removed the revoI-
Yer from his pocket and placed it on
the table because he could not sit down
with it in his pocket. He had gone
there to meet Charlie Desimone He
said those in the saloon were friends
of his. Benjamin asked him to place
his gun in his pocket, and he said he
could not. Bojorgues then came over
where he was and attempted to take
the pistol. Singleton declared that while
they both had hold Of the weapon *
was accidentally discharged. On cross
examination he stuck to his story of the
killing being accidental. This is the
first time Singleton has spoken of the
killing, his mouth having been sealed
to the police and reporters. His mother
and sister were present in court and
wept while he related the story.
Rebuttal testimony was introduced
showing that it was almost impossible
for Bojorgues to have been shot fin the
manner stated by Singleton.
Argument viii commence in the
morning and the case will probably go
10 the jury tomorrow night.
