Stockton, Cal, March 27.-Hund-
reds of armed guards patrol the levees
of the reclamation districts.
The San Joaquin river is slowly
rising, but it is believed the worst is
over. The lower San Joaquin river is
also rising, but the reclamation dis
tricts are not in danger.
On the Kasson estate 5000 acres
were flooded this morning and 1000
head of hogs drowned. Twenty thous-
and acres on the west side near Ban
ia, are inundated.
The Molen family is in danger of
drowning, and a launch has been sent
to rescue them. Parts of Stockton are
flooded but the business section es-
capped, and the water is now falling
in this city.
City Superintendent OF Streets Oscar
Wright went insane from fighting the
flood this morning. 1t is believed he
will recover.

indianapolis, March 27.-The

disagreement and decided to call
joint conference at this afternoon,

1t is estimated 100000 miners are
affected by the decision. This num-
her will probably strike at midnight
Saturday, when existing contracts ex-
pire.
The immediate cause of the COM
mittee's action is the demand of the
miners for an increase of five and
nine-tenths percent in wages. Their
original demand was for IL and five
tenths. The impending strike will be
the beginning of the greatest struggle
in the Industrial world in historical
times. Both sides are desperate and

QUARRELED BEFORE MURDER.
McVicar's Stomach Taken to Chemist
for Analysis.

Stockton. March 27.-Mrs. Emma
Ledoux, held for the murder of Albert
n. McVicar, whose body was found in
trunk, spent her first night in the
woman's ward at Stockton.
Tangible bits of occurrences imme-
diately preceding McVicar's death are
being gathered. 1t is learned McVicar
and the woman engaged in violent
quarrel, presumably over McVicars
loss of insurance money collected by
Mrs. Ledoux on the death of her first
husband, William Williams. Also
said to have quarreled over the man
ner in which McVicar disposed of the
life insurance he is supposed to have
carried.

The apparent monopoly of the
street paving situation held by the
Warren Construction company in
Walla walla, was entirely swept away
last night when the city council of
that city decided to advertise for bids
on four different kinds of paving
bitulithic asphalt, bituminous ma
cadam and Victor.
The matter of paving in Walla
Walla has been completely tied up by
an injunction for the past two weeks,
because the council had practically
agreed to confine the bids on paving
to the bitulithic only, thus shutting
out competitors who claimed to have
equally as good paving as the btu
lithic.
At first 1t was decided to carry the
Injunction to the supreme court In
hopes of having It dissolved, that the
bid on the bitulithic paving might be
accepted, but upon consideration the
council agreed to not force the btu
lithic, but to open the bids to the four
different kinds of paving and then
accept that kind which showed upon
investigation to be the most durable
and the least expensive.
This opens the bids to the Barber
Asphalt company, which manufac-
lures the asphalt bituminous macad-
am form of bitulthic, and the Vic
| tor, another form of ,bitulithic, and
also to the Warren Construction COM
pany, which manufactures the btu
lithic only.
It is now probable that the paving
of 16 additional blocks in Walla Walla
will proceed as soon as the council
can decide on the kind to be used,
after the bids are in.
The hcief objection to paving and
the cause of the injunction against It.
In Walla Walla, was the fact that the
bitulithic company was the only one
bidding on the work and people OBJ
jected to the monopoly ruling the
council.

SECOND GREEK UNDER ARREST

charges with having broken into a

now two Greeks in the county Jail
charged with that offense. Their
names are George Tsouras and Pete
Vlohas, and they are accused of hav-
ing stolen some lard and other arti-
cles from box car at Umatilla. Thus
far the two men have not been indict-
ed by the district attorney, but the
cases against them are being investi-
gated.

FILL CUTTERS WITH GRAVEL.
Business Men Seek to Abate Stencil on
Main Street.

In order to overcome the stencil
arising from the cutters on Main
street, some of the business houses
have been having the cutters filled
with gravel. Yesterday Manager
Harris. of the Walla Walla Produce
company, had gravel placed in front
of the company's shop and also of the
Schempp saloon. Several other places
on the street have done likewise.
BY filling the cutters with gravel
the standing water and filth is COW
cred up and the stencil abated. How
ever it is but temporary remedy as
the gravel will have to be removed so
as to furnish the proper grade when
the streets are improved.

The chief argument advanced by

to be that the advertisement for bids

bids in that paving is patented and
