GALE SWEEPING

WIND REACHES HIGH VELOCITY

So MILES AN HOUR RECORDED
Weather Forecaster Notified to Dis
play Storm Signals To-day.
Light Rainfall Yester-
day Morning

The wind blew long and the wind
blew strong yesterday. If the
weather man wore whiskers he
needs must have held on to
them when he examined his in
struments on top Of the Trust building.
The gale reached a velocity of thirty
six miles an hour, the highest speed
for a May wind which has been at
tanned in the history of the government
observatory. During the day 1t ranged
from this maximum to that of twenty
five miles an hour.
Up until yesterday the high record
mark for the month of May was that
OF May 1, 1887, when the wind gauge
read thirty miles an hour.
Storm signals have been displayed
along the coast warning shipping of
danger.
Throughout yesterday the barometer
continued low but stationary, with
rainfall of IA inch, bringing the total
for the season up to 1898 Inches. The
prediction of unsettled weather for to-
day has been sent out by Forecaster

THAW AND BRIDE
At THE VAN NUYS
MUCH DISCUSSED COUPLE ARE
CYNOSURE OF EYES
RECOGNIZED BYACQUAINTANCE
Young Millionaire and Bride Enter
the Dining Room Amid Much
Craning of Necks on Part
of Guests

After six months in the limelight
of publicity in America and in the
old world, Harry Kendall Thaw of
Pittsburg and his beautiful wife, for
merly Evelyn Nesbit, the artists
model, are at the Van Nuys hotel.
They registered there at o'clock
last night, with the hope that for once
newspapers and hotel guests would re-
main oblivious of their presence. The
young millionaire's handwriting was
as in the past almost unintelligible,
but someone had seen the couple be-
fore, recognized them and two hours
later when Thaw and wife, the latter
clad in bewitching gown, entered the
dining room there was turning of
heads and a craning of necks by the
diners, who were anxious to get a
look at the young couple who for
many month have made gossip for tea
tables and talk for clubs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thaw have been at
Catalina island for the past few days.
They will remain in Los Angeles un-
til Friday and will then continue their
trip northward, afterward returning
to Pittsburg.
When the newspapers reported the
secret marriage of the millionaire and
the beauty there were strong remarks
and threats made on the part of the
parents of both households. An AMIGA
BILE adjustment of the matrimonial en-
tanglement came on April 4, when they
were remarked in the presence of the
brides mother and Mrs. ]. C. Holman,
mother of the groom.

ST. LOUIS POLICE CAPTURE
SAN FRANCISCAN
REQUISITION NOT NEEDED
Man Charged With EmbezzIing Sixty
Two Thousand Dollars City Funds
Taken Into Custody While
Boarding Frisco Train
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, May 2.-On the request
of San Francisco police, Edward ].
Smith, the former San Francisco tax
collector, who is wanted to answer to
a charge of embezzling $4,000, was
arrested at the Union station tonight.
Night Chief of Police Gillipse stated
that Smith admits his identity and
announces his willingness to return to
San Francisco without requisition
papers.
Smith had been in st. Louis for two
days. He registered at the Jefferson
hotel as H. Smith and after his ar
rest stated that he had been waiting
for some friends who were to join him
here and with whom he was going to
Los Angeles, where he said he was
going to communicate with relatives
and the authorities in San Francisco.
The friends did not arrive today as
expected and Smith told the police that
he then decided to go west by himself.
He was arrested as he was boarding a
Frisco train at Union station.
Assistant Chief of Police Keely and
two officers with a circular description
of Smith had been watching Union
station for several days. AS Smith
boarded the train he was accosted by
Keely and at first denied his identity.
Almost Immediately afterward, how
ever, he admitted that he was the man
for whom the police were watching and
stated that he would go back without
formal demand by the California
authorities.
He was taken to the local police
headquarters and telegram was sent
to San Francisco notifying the police
there of the arrest.

MAY NOT DIVIDE
WITH SALT LAKE
OTHER ROADS WOULD RETAIN
CITRUS TRADE
NO AGREEMENT IS REACHED
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Say
the Clark Line Must Draw on
Its Own Resources for
Business
NO AGREEMENT is REACHED

With the advent of the Salt Lake road
into the carrying of citrus fruits and its
contract with the Armour company for
5000 refrigerator cars, interpreted by
railroad men to mean that the Clark
road is to enter Immediately into active
competition for such traffic, 1t develops
that only those packing houses along its
right of way will be able to use its
service at the present time.
Arrangements have been such in the
tracks could be delivered at the. will of
the shipper to either the Southern Pa
cific or the Santa Fe but there is no
compact in existence by which the
latter roads are in duty bound to de-
liver such traffic over to the Salt Lake
now that it has an eastern outlet and
is prepared to take care of such freight.
In other words, there is little possi-
bility of shippers on rival lines of the
Salt Lake being benefited this season
by the opening of the road. They will
be told politely by the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe that such is an impossi-
bility as no tariffs or divisions are yet
in effect between them and the Clark
road.
1t is probable that the Salt Lake will
take the same view of the situation and
demand of the packing houses along
its right of way that all their products
go over it's line.
The open routing decision handed
down by the courts does not, of course,
apply as it affects only those roads hav-
ing tariffs and divisions
Asked when there would be an under
standing on the question, high officials
of all three lines said yesterday they
did not know. 1.-THE question has not
yet been discussed" they said.
One official intimated that If the Salt
Lake wanted more citrus fruit trade
than it's present line could furnish, it
might have to build spur tracks into
the different districts as his road was
not disposed to let new road, having
no great traffic to give in return, drain
territory which it had taken the older
road much time and money to build up.

NEW YORK, May 2.-The fate Of
Nan Patterson in her third trial for
the murder of Caesar Young will be in
the hands of the jury early tomorrow.
Assistant District Attorney Rand COM
pleted the closing arguments for the
prosecution shortly before 5 o'clock
this afternoon and the court adjourned
for the day. Recorder Golf announced
that he would charge the jury on the
opening of court tomorrow. 1t is be-
lieved that his instructions will not be
lengthy, and probably before the noon
hour the jury will have retired to con-
slider a verdict.
At the close of the argument today,
after the prosecutor had arraigned her
in the most scathing terms; had as
serted that her silence in this trial
was a confession of her guilt; had de-
clared that her sister had lied on the
stand and that her counsel had made
his plea for her life on foundation of
fabrications, Nan Patterson said she
still felt confident the jury would
bring in an early verdict of acquittal.
''Mr. Rand is fine orator." she de-
clared, "but know those twelve men
will not hang a girl on oratory."
Mr.. Rand consumed practically the
entire day. He devoted large part
of his speech to a defense of himself
and his methods in the present trial.
He declared the charges made against
him by Abraham Levy, attorney for
the defendant, were unjust and mis-
leading. He denied that he had been
guilty of suppressing evidence that
might have helped the Patterson girl.
