LOS ANGELES, March 3o.-One of
the heaviest storms of snow and hail
in the history of this part of the State
swept over the orange belt to-d day, ex-
tending from Los Angeles on the west
to the mountains east of Riverside and
San Bernardino and giving to Southern
California the first real touch of winter
after season of unusually mild wealth
er and abundant rainfall.
In Riverside snow fell for half an
hour, but except in sheltered places it
melted as fast as IL fell. On some
streets the pavements were covered.
The storm was much more severe in
and about San Bernardino, where snow
fell for nearly two hours, covering the
streets in the city and giving to the
extensive orange groves an icy coating,
which it is feared has caused consider
able damage.
AT Pomona this evening snow fell and
drifted in such a quantity that it was
possible to make a snow man, the first
ever seen in that city, which is in the
very heart of the orange belt. Children,
hundreds of whom had never seen snow
except on the tops of the distant noun
/ tains, reveled in it, and no pedestrian
was immune from bombardment with
snowballs while the snow lasted.
The storm was accompanied by a
high wind. and this, with the hail, Sc
riously damaged many orchards in the
vicinity of San Dimas and Lordsburg,
the hail knocking off the blossoms from
the trees.
In the mountains the fall of snow was
very heavy. In Bear Valley eighteen
inches fell during last night and this
! morning. The snow line extended far
down the mountainside. Tonight the
weather throughout the orange region
is unusually cold, the wind being di-
rectly off the snow-covered mountains.
II the wind continues the danger of
damage from frost will not be great
but If il is followed by calm there
may be a killing frost in that section
The temperature at midnight in Los
Angeles was ~ degrees.
BAKERSFIELD, March 30-A heavy
hailstorm occurred in this city at noon
to-day The storm lasted for five min
utes and was accompanied by a high
wind. Many of the hailstones were
larger than peas. A cold wind has been
blowing from the northwest ali day.
Hailstorms are reported from several
outlying districts. Snow has been fall
ing in the mountains
SACRAMENTO, March 30-There
was a heavy frost in the upper part of
the Sacramento Valley last night, but
/ 1t is believed that it was not of a kill
ing character. A heavy snowstorm pre-
vailed at Truckee and other points in
the mountains. There was no frost in
this vicinity.

FLINT TALKS
ON NEW LAWS

LOS ANGELES, March 30-United
States Senator Frank P. Flint. in an
Interview to-day on current public
questions, said regarding the question
of railroad rate regulation, that not a
single. member of the United States
Senate, Republican or Democrat, is
opposed to the policy of President
Roosevelt to give the Interstate Com
merce Commission increased power.
On the contrary, he believed that when
the House met in extraordinary ses-
sion in October the subject will be dis
posed of in short order. and a law
enacted that will be satisfactory to the
public, as well as to the vested inter-
ests involved.
Senator Flint said the regular ses-
sion of the Senate will undoubtedly
ratify some sort of treaty with Santo
Domingo, although he admits the sub
ject is fraught with considerable dam
ger to the republic, because of the
principles of international law and
phases of the Monroe doctrine that
are involved. The new treaty to be
submitted will not carry certain of the
provisions embodied in the agreement
that failed a few weeks ago, and to
which serious exception was taken by
majority of the members of the Sem
ate.
AS far as Arizona statehood is con-
cerned, the Senator said he is certain
the Beveridge bill, linking Arizona
and New Mexico and Oklahoma and
Indian Territory into two States, will
be enacted into law by the next Con-
gress, although he will cast his vote
for single statehood, as he is pledged.
He is of the opinion that double state
hood, as advocated by Senator Bev-
eridge, will become part of the Re-
publican caucus policy in the two
houses, and the contest to bring it
about will not be prolonged.
