SOUTHERN CONNECTION
 INDEFINITELY POSTPONED
Rumor of the Going Out of the Yuma
 Bridge.

There is little to say yet of an en- couraging nature concerning communi- cation with the south. Work is pro-
 gressing as fast as possible to restore normal conditions but it will be some time before traffic is reopened. The M. & P. company is grateful to think that no more of its Gila bridge has
 gone since the first breach was made.
 But the river is still so high that lit
 tie progress can be made in the way of
 repairs. The pile driver on this side
 was working on Thanksgiving day and
 managed to drive the piles for a few
 bents, but a break in the machinery
 occurred. That was fixed and opera
 tions were resumed yesterday after
 noon about 2 o'clock. It is a difficult
 matter to drive the piles so they will stay when the water is so high for it
 digs them right out again and nobody
 can tell how long the river will re-
 main high. Once it goes down the
 work will be rapidly done.
 A. J. Hansen was in the city yester-
 day and said he was having a boat
 built and intended to stretch a cable across the river with which to control it. He thinks he will have this work done and his boat launched by Sunday MDen He WILL Dc ItdQy lO uO
 ferry business. The railroad com pany, however, will take no passengers
 out from here as it considers the risk too great and does not wish to encour- age people to take chances. Those who
 are now at Maricopa however, and who on their own responsibility man. age to get across the river, will be
 brought to Phoenix. It may be possi-
 ble therefore, for people to get in from the south on Monday, if they are brave enough to come.
 | A most disquieting report reached here yesterday afternoon from Tucson. l to the effect that the Southern Paci-
 fife bridge at Yuma, over the Colorado | river, had been swept away, or at least portion of it. The rumor was not verified and while it was generally dis believed the destruction of the bridge | is not entirely improbable. The injury to the Santa Fe bridge at Holbrooll
 few days ago indicates that the lit- | tie Colorado river is greatly swollen and beyond doubt Bill Williams Fork and many smaller streams tributary to the Colorado, are unusually high. This | water combining with the most usus-
 ual flood in the Gila and Salt rivers
 may have raised the Colorado at Yuma higher even than during the annual flood water season of that stream. Superintendent w. A. Drake return ed to Phoenix last evening on the Phoenix and Eastern train after a tour of inspection of the line. He said that ! .be damage at bridge IF would be TenTired in about seven days if the water remained at it's present stage,
 or continues to fall. Yesterday pas 1 Sengers from Winkleman were trans l ferred by means of a cable and this will be done each day until the train | is able to cross the river. Tempora- rily the running schedule of the Flor ence train will be changed, leaving this city at o'clock city time. About

OBJECT TO SEPARATE
SCHOOL FOR JAPANESE
Methodist Ministers Deprecate the
Proposed Plan to Isolate Pupils
of Oriental Parentage.

The Methodist ministers of San
Francisco yesterday petitioned the SUI
pervisors that instead of appropriat-
ing $4,000 to establish a separate
school for Japanese pupils a suitable
school be established in some central
location for the aid of backward stu
dents of whatever parentage and ma
tionality. The petitioners believe that
such a course will result in the great
er efficiency of the schools and also
be of great advantage TO large num-
ber of young people other than Jap
anese who are backward in English
branches. The petition continues:
We deprecate any action which would de-
priye the younger japanese children, most OF
whom were born in this country. of the ad-
vantages of our common school system. 1t is
due 10 our country as well as to those children
of other foreign parentage that they be al
lowed the privileges of schools The
japanese children by their cleaniy and studious
habits have shown themselves worthy of as
sociation with American children and with
the large number of Japanese young men
voiuntgGy removed from the schools the
principal and only real objection TO joint
education no longer exists

RAINSTORM MOVES OVER
INTO ARIZONA'S PLAINS
Adds TO the Floods and Washouts in
That section After Deluging
California

The May day rain that proved such
d spoiler of sport for those prepared
to observe the day, remained over the
city all night long. Yesterday opened
cloudy with occasional patches of blue
showing, but a brisk wind drove the
clouds away in the afternoon, and the
latter part of the day was ideal.
The stormclouds were carried south
erly and easterly, touching Los An
eeles slightly in the south and moving
into Arizona, where they added TO the
general prevailing floods and washouts
In that State. The heaviest of the
rainstorm in the State fell on San
Francisco, over an inch having fallen
during the day and night, almost un-
precedented for any one day in May.
The damage to crops throughout Cali
fornia was slight, although there was
fear for the cherry crop If the rain
continued. The downpour proved a
blessing, however. for the small gar
den truck farmers in the southern
parts OF San Francisco and San Mateo
counties.

The California Club election passed

The California Club election passed
off like a Methodist love feast.
AS there was but one candidate for
president on the printed ballots the
zest of a contest was absent, in fact,
the day would have been deadly dull
had it not been for the election of the
board of directors. which kept up
some show of interest. The ballot was
built upon the plan of the municipal
ballot, giving the ladies an object les
son in the art of putting their crosses
where they would do the most COOL.
The polls closed at 5 o'clock and the
work of counting the ballots kept the
election committee at work until
1920, when the final results were an
nounced by the secretary, Mrs. Mas
ten, as follows:
President Mrs Aylett R. Cotton; first vice
president Mrs. E. F. Baldwin: second vice
president Mrs. A W. Scott: for directors
Madame Emilia Tojetu Mrs. E. p Schell. Mrs.

SLOW PROGRESS
ON The BUDGET
Finance Committee Ignores
Two of the Members of the
Board of Public Works
AIGELTINGER IN FAVOR
Several Items Are to Be
Considered With but One
Of the Commissioners

The Supervisors Finance Commit
tee yesterday began consideration of
the estimate of expenditures filed by
the Board of Works. The proceedings
were very brief Commissioners Macs
tretti and Eagan and City Engineer
woodward were asked If they had
anything to say regarding the various
items asked for, and they replied in
the negative. The hearing became des-
ultory and no agreement was reached
on appropriations The strained rela-
tons existing between the Board of
Works and the Supervisors evidently
mad something to do with it.
City Architect Shea asked for four
additional building inspectors and
other extra help, which would bring
MS estimate up TO S37,9l0, against
$lS,900 for last year, and an adjourn
ment was taken.
The committee informed Aigeltinger
that 1T would consult with him in pri-
vate about the estimate
Earlier in the meeting a committee
of bricklayers urged an increased ap-
preparation for repairs of sewers; main
sewer repairers petitioned for an in
crease in their. wages of 81 so per day;
the City Hall janitors asked that their
wages be raised from $74 to $50 per
month, and sewer cleaners pleaded for
%o Pci uoy. L Hc pctlllOuS were Idken
under Amusement.
Similar action was taken on the petit
ton of number of ladies that a strip
of land on Forty-ninth avenue be pur-
chased for park purposes, and on the
request of the North Central Associa-
ton that sewer be built in CONNER
cial street, from Sansome to Drumm.
James E. Britt, president of the Mas
ter Plumbers Association. informed
the committee in communication that
the standard minimum rate of wage
| for journeyman plumber is s5 per
| day.
| B. Joost of the Central Improvement
| Association urged that an appropria-
| tion be made to extend Market street
| from Seventeenth to the ocean. around
| Twin Peaks by easy grades. The i'm
provement would cost about $500. 900
| While the committee appeared favor
able to the plan, II doubted If the nee
sary funds will be available.
| The Board of Works filed a supple
| mentary request that $500 be allowed
to repair the roof of the City Hall and
| s1260 for three buggies for the use OF
| the Commissioners.

AigeItinger May Have to Pay

Commissioner of Works Aigeltinger
put man and team to work in con-
nection with side sewer repairing last
month, but when the demand for $73
was presented to the Finance Commit
tee il was rejected because the sewer
repair fund is exhausted. Aigeltinger
will have to pay the money out of his
own pocket, unless the Finance Com
mittee relents- Aigeltinger's fellow
commissioners say he should have had
the man<put to work by the Board of
Works and not have hired him on his
own account. The contracting firm of
F. M. Yorke & Co. had nothing to do
with the matter.

ALL PARTIES
ON. THE BALLOT
Supreme Court Directs Stock
toms City Clerk to Ac-
cept Lists of Candidates
RETALIATION A FAILURE
Attempt to Keep the Civic
League Ticket Off Voting
Slips Is Unsuccessful

y All parties concerned in the coming
city election in Stockton will be repre-
sented on the official ballots, the City
Clerk being compelled to give place to
each by the Supreme Courts decision
yesterday. Last Saturday three petit
tions for writs were filed in the court,
the privilege of argument was granted
and the hearing set for yesterday. Two
of the writs were to compel City Clerk
Ellis to place the names of the Re-
publican and the Democratic candi-
dates on the ballot, and the other writ
was to prohibit putting thereon the
names of the Civic League candidates.
The writs of mandate were not de-
Tended by the City Clerk and were
granted Immediately, while the writ
of prohibition, after an hours argu-
ment, was denied.
The issuance of the mandates is the
outcome of one of the hottest politi-
weeks the Republicans and Democrats
have been actively preparing for the
campaign, while the Civic Leaguers
were laying low In the heat of
preparation both parties forgot the
technicality of filing a list of the
names of their candidates with City
Clerk Ellis within the period pre-
scribed by law.
The Civic League party noticed the
oversight, and at the last moment filed
its list and was therefore, it claimed,
the only party legally entitled to have
the names of its candidates on the
ballot. When the old-line parties pre-
pared to have their candidates placed
on the ballot the City Clerk. who is a
candidate for reelection on the Civic
League ticket. refused.
