prisoners, are now put at 10000. Those

The war party is still active. Some
of the bureaucratic papers demand the
dispatch of Gen. Dragomiroff with 4OO,-
900 men, but the liberals maintain that
this is a physical impossibility.
Gen. Popoff, member of the general
staff, says: Taking it for granted
that Kuropatkins retreat has not been
cut off. there remain 100000 defeated,
exhausted troops, without weapons,
without ammunition, without food and
without guns, against double that
number of victorious and plentifully

TUCSON, Arfz., March 13-After
completing his confession in the case
against Ezra Bartlett, John f. Har-
court was today taken before the dis
trict Judge and released on his own
recognizance. His bondsmen were re-
leased. Ex-Governor Gage and Horace
Appel, his attorneys left tonight for

Harcourt's testimony that Epes Ran

mia, brought influence to bear to secure
his extradition, and that he and w. r.
Bacon, attorney for Steinfeld in Los
geles, had endeavored to persuade him
to turn states evidence and tell Bry-
sons connection with this case. The
defense has summoned several wit
nesses to testify at the continuation
of the hearing next Friday and have
avowed their intention to prove that
Steinfeld put up Harcourts bond indi-

Worst Storm In the History of Many
Years Destroys Property Worth
Nearly Million

The storm which swept Los Angeles
and vicinity yesterday and Sunday
was general Old timers say it was
the severest of it's kind that has Wis
tied the south coast in many years.
Reports from different points along
the coast, extending from San Diego to
San Francisco, indicate that piers
have been washed away in many in
stances, entailing the loss of much
valuable property. Cloudbursts in ana
around nearby towns greatly damaged
the country roads. The rivers and
streams all over the southern country
have been rising steadily and in some
instances it is feared the crops will
be completely ruined from overfiows.
With the exception of the casualties
resulting from the collapse of the Sew
enth street bridge in Los Angeles, but
one other fatality has been reported.
That was near San Bernardino, where
Mexican laborer was carried away
in a swiftly running stream and
drowned.

is safe to say that the figures will not

SEARCH FOR MURDERERS
st. Louis Police Hope to Find SIayers
of Mrs. MiIburn
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
ST. LOUIS, March 13.-Chief of De-
tectives Desmond today began a
search for the murderers of Mrs. Nancy
Milburn, whose body was found on
the sands at Ocean Park, near Los
Angeles, Cal, February 26 phe local
officer is in communication with the
authorities who are working on the
Los Angeles end of the affair, and It
Is thought by all concerned that the
criminals who perpertrated the crime
are headed this way if they have not
already been here since it was COM
mitted.
Just before Chief Desmond an
nounced his determination to COM
mence a search for the criminals in
this vicinity he received a visit from
W. A. Glore, brother, and John Deit-
rich, brother-in-law of the murdered
woman. New clews were laid before
the chief, but he declined to state their
nature.
One thing which Glore and DIETRICH
asked Chief Desmond, was to locate
Mrs. N. E. Smell Baker, who was as
sociated with Mrs. Miburn in the man
agement of the Altamont Heights tent
city. The relatives of the dead real
estate dealer think Mrs. Baker may
be able to shed some light on the
enemies of Mrs. Milburn.
The detectives are also seeking q
mysterious male friend with whom
Mrs. Milburn is said to have had busi-
ness dealings. 1t is expected that
when he is found one phase Of the
mystery viii be cleared up.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-Rumors today
Indicate that the coming investigation
of the federal grand jury into the beef
trust will turn into a battle royal Of
the trust against the Schwarzschild S
Sulzberger company and other inde-
pendents. The Sulzbergers are sup
posed to have acted Independently of
the trust since Judge Grosscup's in-
junction was issued and to have done
many things in the trade inimical to
the trust. Inspired information from
Washington is that the SchwaNzchild
e. Sulzberger company is in danger Of
being caught in the tolls of the grand
jury and the big five" is disposed 20
help the case against the firm.
In this connection it is reported the
"Big five" recently made an offer of
$4,000, 900 for Schwarzschild & Sulzber-
gers interests. This offer was refused
and the big five" thereupon decided
to fight.
The independents naturally will side
with Sulzbergers. Some of their prom
1nent representatives nave NoiuiiteeiS'A
to give the grand jury information
they consider valuable.
over two hundred witnesses have
been summoned to appear before the
grand jury, which begins it's delibera-
tions week from today.
The beef trust representatives deny
they are fighting the Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger company, but it is believed
the inquiry will disprove their asser-
tions.

WOMAN 'SCOLLEGE
FOR LOS ANGELES
EDUCATORS MAY FOUND NEW
INSTITUTION
Congested Condition of Stanford and
Berkeley May Be Relieved by
Segregation, Girls Attend-
ing,in Local School

Shall Southern California have col
lege for women?
This is the question which is being
discussed in educational circles. Ger
tain prominent and influential men
have taken steps toward securing an
answer and with this in view a meet
ing has been called for Thursday even
ing at the Westminster hotel.
DR.. Norman Bridge, who is one Of
the promoters of the plan, is in posses
sion of two letters, one from Benjamin
Ide Wheeler of the University of Cali
fornia and the other from David Starr
Jordan of Stanford. The letters both
express the sympathy of the two col
lege presidents with the movement and
set forth reasons why such a college is
necessary.
The crowded condition of the state
they contend, sufficient ground for the
establishment of a college which will
be for women only, allowing the men
to have free scope in the northern in
stitutions.
woman, who is an alumna of an
eastern college and is interested in
this movement, said yesterday:
Men Crowded Out
"It is something which is bound to
come up for consideration sooner or
later, and is an educational problem
which we cannot shirk. The desire for
higher education is becoming so pre-
valent among women that the applica-
tions for entrance into the state uni
versities are getting more numerous
all the time. This necessarily means
the crowding out of the men.
1.-The University of Chicago had to
try the system of segregation. North
western university has also faced the
problem and discussed reactionary
measures.
1.-THE problems which have to be
faced here in California are essentially
the same as those which have been
met in the east. Co-education destroys
to certain extent, the close friend
ships between men and this is detrl-
mental to the qualities which a man
will need in business life. Social dis
fractions are more or less apt to enter.
The time has come when women are
considering the real trend of the COM
petition with men and they realize that
certain influences are impossible in a
educational college,"
Bishop Joseph Johnson, who is an
other of the promoters, says that rs
yet the plans are somewhat visionary,
but hopes that after the meeting of
Thursday evening they will be given
definite shape.
Many prominent people of Pasadena,
as well as Los Angeles. are interested
in the founding of a woman's college,
and several beautiful tracts of land.
some of them near Pasadena, have
been spoken of as ideal locations.
Mrs. Johnston Of Raymond villa.
Pasadena, has been one of the most
active workers in arousing interest,
and among others who are forwarding
the meeting are Henry e. Huntington.

With a rumble and roar, carrying
tons of wreckage in it's wake, the Los
Angeles river dashed out of its bank
early yesterday morning and, leaping
upon the piers and supports of the
Seventh street bridge, hurled the struc-
ture into the water, completely demol-
ishing it and sweeping fourteen pedes-
trians from the bridge into the water.
Two young men were drowned, their
feeble efforts to save their lives prov
ing of no avail against the dashing
waters. Their lifeless bodies were car
ried on down stream and have not as
yet been recovered.
Six other victims occupy cots at the
receiving and emergency hospitals,
while others are at their homes, re-
tanning the memory of an experience
the shock of which may remain with
them for life.
The accident occurred shortly after
o'clock just after number of people
had arrived at the bridge to view the
waters of the river as they piled high
against the structure, carrying along
many logs, shakes and planks. A
number of workmen were on the bridge
watching the unusual violence of the

for this judgment He says: Last

back which troubled me very much.
In the morning could hardly straight

The Weavinu,

She gazed at the weaving SADLY
The warp and welt in the loom
Where the bright colored threads in the
fabric
Seemed always o'ershadowed by a,oom.
And ever she saw the tangles
Of threads, SO often astray,
And it grieved her heart sore that the
Weaver
Used only few bright and gay.
So one day she cried in sorrow:
Oh, tell me, Weaver, / pray,
Dost t ht'a ID care if the threads are so
And SO many SO somber and gray?
st pray thou wilt weave me, Weaver,
In warp and welt of thy loom,
Only colOrs like tints of the Autumn,
With never a shadow of gloom.'
The Weaver worked on, in silence,
Unseen by the eye of man,
And he lovingly fashioned the fabric
According to pattern and plan.
At last. when the web was finished,
One late Summer evening tide
With the hands that had guided the
weaving,
He beckoned her to his side.
And there. all complete, he showed her
From every tangle free,
That the web of her life had been woven
In heaven-wrought tapestry.

A QUESTION OF INFERENCE.
Substitutes Teacher Asked for Point Of
information.

Substitutes Teacher Asked for Point Of
Information.
1t was at the summer school for
teachers. The professor of sociology
was young and good-looking, also he
was lecturing
At the end of the first form sat the
substitute teacher. She, too, was young
and her gown of shimmery stuff was
immensely becoming to her. OF the
latter fact the substitute teacher was
entirely aware, so she sat with down
cast eyes and seemed demurely uncon-
scious when the professor of sociology
addressed some of his most brilliant
remarks directly to herself.
The professor of sociology was
speaking of marriage; but something
his youth perhaps, or the subtle in
fluence of the summer weather-had
lightened the gravity of his theme in
such wise that he handled it playfully,
and half reverently, half humorously,
he quoted the final sentences of the
ceremony used by the church. His
voice was pleasant, the last words of
the well-known formula falling melli-
f1uously from his lips. AS he ended, he
turned again with a smile and bow
TO the substitute teacher.
'There!" he said impressively. "See
how easily you are given away?"
The substitute teacher raised he1
shy eyes. "Am lam l to infer" she
hesitated innocently, that the gentle.
man in the case has been sold?"-The
