Assembly District. The committee de-
sires an immediate response from the
citizens. The appointment of district
committees will not be made until all
the. voters have had opportunity to
identify themselves with the league
Considerable progress was made
last night in the work of selecting
a committee of forty on finance. There
is not the slightest doubt that the
money necessary for conducting an
active and methodical campaign for
the betterment of the city will be pro-
vided by the patriotic taxpayers OF
thee town. The sentiment is daily
growing deeper and stronger that
something must be done TO wrest the
control of the city government from
the grasp of grafters and looters- It
is believed that the response Of the
people to the manly call of the league
will clearly demonstrate that the
forces ready to unite for the better
ment of local affairs will prove in-
vincfble at the polls.

STORM BURSTS
UPON MAYDAY

The sudden downpour of yesterday
upset many programmes that had been
arranged for May day. The festivities
which were to take place in Golden
Gate Park were postponed and many
children who arrived early were
drenched by the breaking loose of the
storm.
In the evening, when the storm in
creased in intensity, streets in many
parts of the city were inaccessible and
two families were rescued from their
homes where the flood had come in
upon them. The homes of T. Bergner
and Otto Streit. 2034 and 2036 Folsom
street, were flooded and rescue party
carried the families to places of, safety.
About o'clock last night, when the
storm was at its height. sudden flow
of water, as if a dam had caved in.
came gushing in upon the tenants.
Shrieks' of terror and cries of help at
tracted several persons from nearby
stores. The Mission police station was
notified and 1t sent the patrol wagon
and policemen to the scene. Policemen
M. McCue and James Nyhand. with
several other men, assisted the families
in getting out of their homes. The
water was two feet deep and the
rescuers were forced to paddle through
the slush and carry the women and
clllQren TO St1Ie pldceS.
In the Streit home were Mrs. STREET..
her two sisters and six children. the
Oldest being under ten years. Tables
and other objects were sought as safe
spots, but the inmates were thoroughly
drenched during the first thrush of the
water They were taken in the patrol
wagon to 715 Valencia street. where
they were given shelter in the home of
Mrs. Brown.
-
four children when the flood came in
upon her. Her carpets and furniture
were ruined and when the storm ceased
the neighbors assisted her to force the
waters into the street so .she might
occupy her home during the remainder
of the night if the storm should abate.
The houses are one-story shanties
situated on the northeast corner of
Seventeenth and Folsom streets. They
are old structures and are three feet
below the street grade. In the evening
when the storm increased the sewers
were inadequate, so the sidewalks and
streets were overf1own in this vicinity.
Many children that went to the Col
den Gate Park yesterday to take part
in the May day festival were thor
oughly drenched by the sudden down
pour. About 1000 persons had gathered
around the platform that had been
erected for Maypole dances when the he
storm broke over the city. The May
day committee at once decided to. aban-
don the programme.
Children and their parents rushed for
shelter and the cars and awnings in
the vicinity Of the PARK entrance were
inadequate to keep the crowd from get
ting wet Each car which came into
town was packed with human freight
and it is likely that many of the
youngsters will suffer colds from the
thorough drenching they received.

Kuroli's Soldiers Create japanese
Scenery for a Fete.
HEADQUARTERS GENERAL KU-
ROKI'S ARMY, May 1. - The ami
versary of the battle of the Yalu was
celebrated by General Kuroki's army
to-day with spectacular fetes. Sol
diers representing all military organi-
zations managed the decorative work
with remarka BILE effect.
The valley in which the headquar-
ters is encamped was transformed ID
into a park by utilizing streams, grass
plats and hillsides. for the reproduc-
ton of Japanese scenery
An altar with a tablet in memory
of the army's dead was erected on the
summit of a hill. The approach to the
altar was a wide avenue through a
grove Of trees studded with artificial
cherry blossoms and crossed by tri-
umphal arches. Other features of the
decorations were an equestrian
statue, representing General Kuroki
and a reproduction of the Yalu battle
field. Shinto Buddhist services in
memory of the dead soldiers were
held at the altar. with troops massed
at the foot of the hill.
Race. tracks, theaters and pro-
fusion of unique decorations were laid
out on the plain. Several hundred Of
ficers took luncheon at tables spread
under the trees. and the amusements
which followed included a procession
representing the Samurai warriors and
followers Of feudal times. Horse
racing, theatricals and wrestling COM
pleted the days programme.

Jacob Schiff Withdraws
From the Contest Waged
Against the Powerful
Hill Railway Combination
DESPERATE FIGHT :
FOR UNION PACIFIC
Management May Pass to
New Hands at the Meet
ing Of Stockholders to
Be Held Next Friday
Special Dispatch to The call.

BOSTON, May 1.-The next man to
follow Gould in resigning from the di-
rectorate will be E. H Hartman. This
resignation need not be expected in a
week, or possibly month, but it will
come, as there is good reason for say
ing that the man who was the real
head of the Union Pacific two months
ago is not the real head to-day.
Two weeks or so ago the prediction
was made in these columns that when
the smoke of battle cleared away in
the Northern Securities-Union Pacific
fight it would be found that Morgan,
Hill, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Frick,
Baker, Rogers and Stillman were on
were on the other. The forces are to-
day lined up as here stated, except that
Schiff has gone back on Hartman.
If Hartman wants to fight Hill he
will be obliged to conduct his fight un-
aided. The others have arrived at the
conclusion that there is room enough
and business enough for all and Har-
lieve that Hill could beat them to
death" in case of a railroad fight.
Hartman is desperately working to
get every available proxy for the
Union Pacific meeting on May 5. He
sent four representatives to get proxies
on one large block which were first Of
fered to Morgan and declined. Harri-
man, who was seller of Northern Sc
curfties at twenty points above the
present prices, is now buying them
back. About ten days ago a certain
member of the so-called Rock Island
party privately transferred to the Har-
riman party large block of Union Pa
cific, but what the sale means is still a
mystery.
There still exists cloud of mystery
about Union Pacific. Scores of rumors
are afoat ard the same tremendous
private dealings in the stock continue.
The New York Central will shortly
announce plan to issue new stock
and give valuable rights to stockhold-
ers, and this may prove to have some
connection with the original Union Pa
cif1c- Chicago and Northwestern.

QUESTIONS FRENCH FAITH.
Japan Believes Indo- China Still Har
bors the Russian Warsllips.

TOXIC. May lit is believed that
Admiral Rojestvensky continues to
use the ports of Indo-China for the
purpose of obtaining coal and other
supplies, and for maintaining commu-
nication with st. Petersburg, and the
Japanese press is again questioning
the faith of the recent assurance of
France. The Government here is 81
lent, but it is believed the Ministers
are preparing to reopen the neutrality
question with France.
PARIS, May 1.-The renewed agi-
tation in the japanese press relative
to alleged n-observance of neutral
ity by France attracts attention here,
but the Foreign Office says no further
official consideration of the subject
has occurred that France has given
ample assurances that she intends to
observe neutrality, and that these are
being fully carried out. Consequently
the governmental view is that the
question is closed SO far as France is
concerned, as she has done everything
within her power to secure the observ-
ance of neutrality. This doubtless will
be the response if Japan makes fur
ther representations, which, however,
has not been Indicated by any action
on the part of DR.. Motono, the Jap
anese Minister.

GROWS WEARY OF LIFE

Joseph Darling, a Former Califor-

Necessary Bail

WASHINGTON. May AFTER
weeks of cogitation on the subject,
Joseph S. Darling, the former Califor-
MIA lawyer in Jail at Guatemala City,
has decided to get himself out by pro-
ducng the necessary bail of S120.
Darling was imprisoned for con-
tempt of court. Instead of purging
himself of contempt or putting up the
bail required to entitle him to a trial
before Judge other than the COM
mitting magistrate, Darling appealed
TO the American Minister and cursed
the Guatemalan Government
Darling at first thought he would
rather die in Jail than apologize or put
up bail. He has come to the conclu-
sion that he cannot longer be a neigh
Dor. to the two-inch. cockroaches with
which his cell is infested. He has
therefore offered suitable bail

JAPAN LIKES HER ALLY.
Trying to Strengthen the Alliance
With Great Britain.

NEW YORK, May l. - Korekigo
Takahashi, financial agent Of the
Japanese Government, who arrived
from London yesterday after nego-
tiating the recent Japanese war loan,
said to-day that Admiral Togo would
not offer battle to the Russian feet,
because he had too much at stake
and was not willing to risk all on the
first throw of the dice.
In his opinion, the most important
matter under consideration by the
Japanese statesmen is the enlarging
of the scope of the alliance now existing
between Japan and Great Britain. He
considers that Russia will be SO weak
ened by the war that it's influence in
the Far East will not be seriously con-
sidered for ten years.
When he was asked if he thought
there was any possibility of an alli-
ance between Russia and Japan for
the imposing of a Monroe doctrine in
the Far East he said:.
That is French idea, which has been given
birth owing to the alarm the French have felt
over the encroachment of the Emperor of Ger
many in China OF course. there is nothing pre-
posterous about the idea of such alliance,
but at present the Japanese statesmen con-
sidering ways and means or effecting great
offensive and defensive alliance with Great
Britain
