 The excellent band from the fiagship Texas discoursed music alternately with a local organization. and the spacious club rooms, which have been the scene of many former entertainments to distin- guished visitors, never contained a more brilliant gathering.
 The local committees had striven to out. do all previous efforts in the entertain ment direction. and no one will doubt that they were successful.
 The battleship Missouri had sailed out the day before the club had settled upon the entertainment. and this was very much regretted by the club membership and the officers of the big battleship.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

Los ANGELES, March 2-Rendered
insane by a street railway accident for
which he was responsible and believ-
ing that the Huntington system owed
him thousands of dollars which he
could not collect, Joseph Stark tried to
enforce payment by threatening to kill
II. E. Huntington and his son and to
blow up the power house and offices
of the Pacific Electric Railway Com
pany. After having been shadowed for
weeks by the detectives Of the COM
pany and after having once tried to
carry his threats into execution, Stark
was arrested tonight for insanity and
is confined in the County Hospital.
Stark was formerly an employe of the
Valencia-street line in San Francisco
and when he came here he secured en-
ployment on the Los Angeles street rail-
way. In March of last year he was
struck by car while he was riding
on the wrong side of the street and
thrown to the ground with such vio-
lence that his skull was fractured He
was in hospital for weeks and finally
recovered, but his reason was gone
The accident was due entirely to his
carelessness and when he visited
lawyer after lawyer they told him he
had no basis for suit for damages.
Then he began a systematic study of
explosives and, having mastered that
subject, again appealed to lawyers to
take his case. When they refused he
stated that he would blow the Hunt
ington shops and offices out of exist
ence. When reminded of the penalty
he replied that he knew he was crazy
and that nothing could be done to
a crazy man. He stated that he had
priced explosives and all that he de-
sired to complete his work was to find

March 2.-Governor Rafael YsabeI of
the State of Sonora and General Lo-
renzo Torres, in command Of the Fed
eral forces, returned to this port to-
day from an expedition into the Santa
Ursula Mountains against the Yaqui
rebels who have been infesting that
unsafe on the surrounding ranches, pill
Laying, killing and burning. A con-
certed effort was made to dislodge the
Indians. and as a result they were sur
rounded, being defeated after a sharp
engagement. Fifteen Indians are now
known to have been killed and almost
a hundred braves taken prisoners The
few who ~~caped will hardly trouble
the ranchers longer.
General Torres and Governor Ysabel
personally led the expeditions against
the Indians in response to many ap-
peals which had been repeatedly sent
out from this district after each new
outrage committed by the savages.
The forces were brought as far as
Batamotal on the Sonora Railroad and
from there taken to San Jose de Quay
mas by boat. In addition to the Fed
eral and State troops a volunteer force
was organized at San Jose de Guaymas

a mounted force at the ranches in the
district.

field with the force organized at San
Jose The Indians felt safe in the re-
treat as they had always been success
full in eluding the small forces sent out
against them. The location OF the
Yaqui's camp had previously been de-
termined and the forces under General
Torres and Governor Ysabel formed the
advance Those under Colonel Navarro
and Presidente Parodi went by round
about road to cut off the Indians re-
treat
The country is rough and they, hav-
ing been recruited in the vicinity. knew
the trails. The plans of the leaders
carried well. The Indians were sur
prised in their retreat. overwhelmed
by the numbers sent against them and
after a short but sharp fight in which
many fell, killed and wounded, they
retreated in great disorder. A large
number surrendered TO a pursuing
force, while party of thirty retreated
