VERY ROUGH AT SAN PEDRO
Ocean Roars FuriousIy, but Little
DAMAGE Is Done

The elements were all at war at San
Pedro yesterday. The wind blew fifty
miles an hour and great seas were
rolled mountain high against the rocks,
dashing into foam and spray, which
covered the breakwater, Deadman's S
island and the outer shores of Terminal.
The waves were washed completely
over the wall of rocks that protects the
channel and the inner harbor from tn.
sea and the fierce winds howled dis
NAL dirge through the rigging of the
ships that lay along the wharves.
Early in the morning all the small
craft around Long Beach skurried for
shelter in San Pedro harbor. and yes
sells lying in the stream were brought
to anchor alongside the docks. Row
boats and sailboats were hauled far
up on the beaches or taken to places OF
safety in the inner harbor.
The sea outside presented magni-
ficent sight. great white-crested billows
rolling shoreward in majestic phalanx,
to dash against the cliffs and fall
back, a huge blanket of spray upon
the next.
At 10 o'clock the steamer Hermosa
left her dock and plowed her way
through the channel to the outer har-
Dor, past the breakwater and out into
the open sea. She made slow headway
against the great seas and rolled and
tumbled about like a cork. But there
were no fears felt for her safety, as
she has weathered some heavy storms
and proved her seaworthiness. At
times those who watched her from the
shore until she passed out of sight In
the mists could see her careen until her
propellers and part of her keel were
exposed and the next minute she would
be way down In the trough Of the sea.
almost lost to their view.
The partially dismantled bark Hollis
wood lay in the outer harbor, within
the shelter of the breakwater, tossing
and pitching on the waves. but en-
tirely safe from harm as long as her
anchors held.
The value Of the new breakwater was
thoroughly tested yesterday, and the
answer is the fact that no damage
to shipping In San Pedro worth men
tioning was reported. The outer har-
Dor was somewhat rough. but not
enough TO cause any damage or even
much disagreeableness 10 shipping.

DELAYS HOLLYWOOD TRAFFIC
Telephone and Telegraph Poles Are
Washed Out by Storm

HOLLYWOOD, March 12.-At Holly
wood, following the storm yesterday a
thick coating of mud and dirt from
the hills coated the streets and boule-
wards and made travelling difficult and
dangerous.
The precipitation was heavy and for
a time the cars were compelled to stop
because of the fierce rain and wind.
Wires, both telegraph and telephone,
were in many cases torn down and the
poles washed away.
A heavy drainage came down across
Prospect boulevard from the higher
ground later in the evening, flooding
the car tracks and overf1owing the
walks. With this flood came the mud
and a sticky covering formed across
the tracks of the car line. cutting off
the service. The car service was re-
sumed at late hour last night.

LAUNCH CHALLENGER
IN PERIL, BUT RESCUED
Taken Into Redondo by the Steamer
State of California


REDONDO, March BY reason of
the heavy sea prevailing at Port Los
Angeles today the steamer State of
California, which left here for San
Francisco and way ports this morn
ing. was obliged to return TO this port
this afternoon and land her passengers
here. which she did without the least
difficulty.
When about three miles from Re-
dondo and near Port Los Angeles the
State of California came across the
launch Challenger. owned by Hans
Christensen of this place. The Chal-
lenger was encountering heavy sea
and had disabled engine and the
State Of California brought her safe
into this port.
Redondo port was protected from the
stiff southeaster prevalent today by
the point of land that puts out into
the sea and which separates Redondo
from San Pedro.
Trains ON the Los Angeles and Re
dondo railway did not run on schedule
time, caused no doubt by the foliage

WILL RECOGNIZE
NEGRO CITIZENS

WASHINTON,G March 12.-The ap-
pointment of a negro to Office In New
York city is only part of a plan of the
president to give the negro the same
political recognition in the north as he
has received in the south, looking upon
him simply as taxpayer and citizen.
In speaking of the proposal TO appoint
Charles W. Anderson collector Of in
ternal revenue in New York city, Sem
ator Depew said:
THE president. spoke to me about the
appointment of Mr.. Anderson. He told
me of his intention to inaugurate the
policy of giving share of the federal
Offices to representative negroes with
out regard to the section of the coun-
try in which they lived. He would
base the selection of negroes on the
proportion they hold in various locali-
ties to the total poulation. In outlin-
ing his views the president mentioned
Mr.. Andersons name and said he had
been considering the advisability OF
making him collector of internal rev.
enue at New York.
Il gave my approval TO the presi-
dents policy and agreed with his opin-
ion that the negro is entitled to his
share of recognition in the distribution
Of public places. did not specifically
indorse Mr.. Anderson, although say
ing that SO far as knew there was no
objection to him."
1t is the general belief Of New York
politicians here that Mr. Anderson win
be selected for the office of collector of
internal revenue.

WOMAN BOWED TO CROWD
Feminine Pedestrian Undaunted by
Attention of Theater Patrons

After the matinee production at the
Burbank theater yesterday and while
the rain was coming down in torrents
a young woman attempted to cross the
flooded street in view of several hum
dred spectators. A rivulet several feet
wide and nearly a foot deep ran be-
tween her and the curb stone.
When she hesitated the crowd jeereG
and then with a toss of her head she
gathered up her skirts and waded. But
alas. as she made a final leap for the
curbing she slipped and fell.
After struggling to her feet as best
she could the young woman turned and
bowed serenely to the interested spec
tators and then disappeared within a
nearby hotel

RAINMAKER is JUBlLANT
Hatfield Pleased With Course Storm
Has Taken

Charles Hatfield. the inoffensive
cause of all the deluge, spent the
greater part of the day yesterday en-
tower in the Esperanza hills. With the
appearance of the storm Saturday
morning Hatfield went to his tower
from the Esperanza sanitarium, where
he has been staying. and started his
observations.
Yesterday morning, upon arising and
finding the storm still in progress,
Hatfield climbed to the top of the hill
and spent the remainder of the day
hurting his clouds OF rain down upon
the already drenched inhabitants of
Los Angeles and vicinity. 1t had been
rurnored at the opening of the season
that if Hatfield fulfilled his promise OF
giving eighteen inches of rain during
the season the people would be very
grateful. They have changed their
opinions, and yesterday afternoon
thousands of pedestrians were only too
ready to cry quit.
Late yesterday afternoon Hatfield
took final measurement of the rain
fall at Esperanza since the start of the
storm Saturday morning at $3.50 o'clock
The measurement registered three
inches and half.
AS novelty in the rainmaking busi-
ness of Southern California, Hatfield
put on a speciality that caused tourists
to cry out that they had been fooled
in the stories of California. The sps.
cialty was several fair examples of
good old thunder and lightning. 'the
kind that mother used to see and
hear" and as the electricity sputtered
across the sky the height of the rain
making science had been accom-
plished.
Shortly after dark Hatfield returned
from his vigil This is some of the
fine spring rain 1 promised you,' he
said; "this storm is a coast storm from

From Goldfelds, Bullfrog, Tonopah
and other mining centers information
is received that the inhabitants are
enthusiastic in their support of the

give them an opportunity to open ur
and develop the wonderful resources OF
their country.
There Is vast area of country to
be opened in portions of California and
southern Nevada, which can only be
done by the building of railroad" said
a prominent local busineae man yes
terday, who recently retu med from a
visit to Inyo county, goind by way of
San Francisco and Reno, Ihen cutting
through the Nevada mirtng district
and down through OWENS valley
Trade viii Come Here
There Is no reason why LOS Angeles
should not enjoy all tie trade of
owens valley and the VIII lie of south
ern Nevada" he continue "and 1t is
great wonder that the people have
not awakened to a realizt ion of this
fact long before now. Ovens valley
alone is capable of sustairyAg hundreds
of thousands of people, All If rail-
road is put in there, such Is will give
the inhabitants adequate II 1lsportation
facilities, 1 have no doub Rbut that a
few years will work woiausrs in the
line of development. ID
"The country is very ric n mineral,
agricultural and other p sducts. In
Owens valley there is an Guidance of
water and all kinds of gr IA, hay, al
falfa, vegetables, etc., foplt ,h. There
are several fine stock rand les in the
valley, but owing to theE enormous
freight rates charged by H1e narrow
gauge railroad developmentks retarded.
Present Facilities Poor
1.-THE facilities of this rof a are very
poor, and there is but ond train each
way a day. 1 am told HAT freight
rates are so high that the Ipeople have
to, pay several times the orth of an
article to get it. In the fmall town
of Bishop, which has POPULATION of
only about 1900 or 1000 and is situated
several miles away from the railroad,
IL is said the freight receipts for one
month amounted to more than 100000"
Continuing, this man says for per-
son to come to Los Angeles from Kel-
Ter, in Inyo county, distance of about
200 miles, he must travel nearly 14O0
miles, remaining on the train about
sixty hours. He says If THE new road
is built Los Angeles can isafely count
on a million tons of freight a year,
In addition to the commef Ire she now
enjoys.

NARROW ESCAPES
FOR PEDESTRIANS
Heavy Boulders Loosened by Rains
Are DANGEROUS

GARVANZA, March 12.-Heavy rocks
and boulders carried from the water
shed of the hills in the neighborhood
of Garvanza during the storm yester-
day caused considerable inconvenience
to the car lines.
The preceding rain washed out small
sections of the tracks and tore down
many telegraph and telephone poles,
but no material damage was reported
from the residents and merchants of
the city.
Several narrow escapes were report
ed by pedestrians who passed too near
the base of the hills and were targets
for the bounding boulders.

LIVES OF C0-EDs
REMARKABLY LONG

ANN ARBOR, Mich. March 12.-Ann
Arbor co-eds live three times as long
as the average woman, and their
chances of getting married are one
third less than their noncoIllege sisters,
according to the statisicilan who has
been at work upon tn, record of the
University of Michigan graduates.
Statistics are available only for the
first thirty classes of ths university. In
the literary department, the women
graduates for these years numbered
1884. Sixty-five are dead and 415 are
married.
OF those who completed their college
work the first two decades, so per cent
have undertaken matrimony. The pro-
portion of marriages decreases as the
graduates take higher degrees, thus
raising again the question whether
scholarship in girls wears them from
wedding. One hundred and fifty-seven
alumnae have taken the masters de-
gree, and of this number only thirty-six
have married, while of the nine who
have received the doctors degree, only
four have husbands.
While the majority of the alumnae
ceased to be breadwinners when they
entered double harness, there are
thirty-two exceptions to this rule.
OF the alumnae engaged in an occu-
patton, $50 are teachers. OF the teach
ers POS do not report ON the nature of
their work, but of the others 24S are in
high school, twenty-folr are deans or

MoSLEMS HATE ARMENIANs.
Indictment to the Widespread Havoc
Near Baku

cable from st. Petersburg last night
says: The first and principal cause of the
disorders at Baku is the Moslem hatred of
the Armenians. This feeling Is of long
standing and is never absent.
The Armenians have been detested as
parasites and exploiters of the Mohamme-
dan and other populations IN the Caucasus
and for several years the Russian authori-
ties have had much difficulty In restraining
the Tartars from cruel ana bloody reprisais
The Armenians understood the situation
and, aware of their danger. armed them
selves
The Baku massacres in February showed
how well they could defend themselves
This was evidenced again in the last seven
days by the large numbers of Tartars killed
in the riotings. The Tartars. however. seem
bent on exterminating the Armenians. The
Armenians have the upper hand In COM
merce and industry in the Caucasus. This
superiority gals the Tartars and Increases
their hatred.
The government continues to be severely
criticised here for its incapacity in dealing
with the Baku situation The absence of
intelligent and energetic administrators in
the Caucasus Is said to be responsible for
the outbreak. The threatening conditions
in the Caucasus have long been known
This outbreak was predicted almost to
day three months ago. but the government
even forbade the refinery owners to organ
ize private militia for the protection OF
their property. The losses are so great that
they Will be felt all over Russia The need
of crude and refined oil will be felt In In

Oil In Russia for year, but the supply OF

Regarding the possible importation OF
American oil to Russia, II was explained
today that the oil used In Russia as fuel Is
residue of oil of which the Russian crude oil
after refining gives 20 per cent. while the
American crude oil after refining gives only
20 per cent. Therefore American crude Gil
would not meet the Russian demands.
