UKIAH, April 2.-Word has just been
received here that James Brown of
Moody was frozen to death near that
city during the recent storm. With
Lee Reid he went hunting in the hills
near the coast. They were overtaken
by a snowstorm and got lost. When
night fell they sat down close together
beside a large redwood to try to keep
warm, as they had no matches with
which TO start a fire. AS they saw they
would freeze they tried to light fire
with their rifles tearing up portions of
their clothing and shooting into the
rags in the hope that they would catch
fire, but without success. Early the
next morning Reid started out for help,
finally reaching McKee's sawmill
where he dropped exhausted. AS soon
as he could tell his story a relief party
started out, but Reid was so bewild-
cred he could not tell from which di
rection he came. The men hunted
around aimlessly all day and were just
starting for home when two of the
party decided to take one more look.
They went into a heavily timbered
canyon and there found the body of
Brown.

FEAR Of FLOOD
IS D|SS|PATED
Sacramento River Falls
Foot, Relieving Anxieties
of Farmers in Lowlands

SACRAMENTO, April 2-Today
brought revived hopes among all the river
residents who had passed a sleepless night
in dread of a recurrence of the disas-
trous Edwards break of two years ago.
Yesterday the swollen Sacramento River
was dashed into surging sea by fierce
north wind, which sent waves breaking
against the insecure leyees at various
points down the river, and in some in
stances melted away their front for a dis
tance of hundreds of feet. Today, how
ever. the north wind ceased entirely and
the river fell almost a foot, thus reliev
ing the high tension of the past twenty
four hours.
The only points along the Sacramento
River where danger appeared were in
the vicinity of Freeport, where the water
either ran over low parts of the levee or
percolated through gopher holes which
had escaped the vigilance of the patrol
men.
Two large dredgers, one the property of
the Grand Island reclamation district
the other owned by the Sacramento
Southern Railway, performed splendid
service, throwing up new levees at
threatened points, and such was the i'm
provement in the situation late today that
II appeared the crisis had been safely
passed and that the rich land along the
river south of this city VIII be saved from
the slightest danger.
MARYSvILLE, April 2.-Conditions are
serious in Reclamation District No. 20. in
Sutter County. High water is being
dashed against the levees by a heavy
north wind, and the farmers within the
district fear the embankments will give
way and allow the waters to flood the
entire district and ruin the seasons crops.
A large number Of men were taken from
this city this afternoon to assist in pro-
tecting the levee. The trouble is caused
by the water from the Sacramento River
and Butte Slough. Several bridges have
gone out.
COLUSA, April 2.-Clear and cold, with
a heavy north wind, this morning The
Sacramento River registers % feet 6
inches, but is stationary. All the levees
on the Colusa side are still unbroken. The
water there stands against the levee on
a level with the water in the river. The
land on the east side opposite Colusa is
completely submerged. The grain planted
there is a total loss. The river will re-
cede slowly on account of the water being
unable to run from the breaks on that
side of the river.

BOGUS BARONETS
IN HOT WATER
Movement Is Started in Eng
land to Rid Society of the
Presence of Pretenders
Special Dispatch to The Can.

LONDON, April 2-Some surprising
revelations are likely to result from the
Investigations Of the baronetage commit
tee, which has just settled down to work
under the craftsmanship Of the Earl Of
Pembroke. Its main object Is to rid the
order Of spurious claimants to the dig
nifty and establish some form of legal
procedure by which such imposture can
be prevented in future.
Genuine baronets welcome the investi-
cation. They want to be ''sat upon"
They have been agitating for years for
an official inquiry into their status. 1t Is
not to be wondered at. in view OF the
amazing fact that there is really moth
ing to prevent anybody from adopting
the style of baronet. So. at least, the
present Chancellor OF the ExcheQuer de-
clared in his argument before the COM
mittee on privileges just prior to the
coronation. when a. great fuss was be-
ing raised over the question OF prece-
dence According to the ofacials Of the
College of Heraldry, II Is open to any
man to look up an extinct baronetcy Of
his own name, or make his own name
fit a lapsed title. and iaunt his spurious
title before an unquestioning world.
There are substantial advantages to be
gained from it. Shopkeepers give longer
credit to a name that carries the prefix
"sir" than to one unadorned. Snobs do
homage to it.. The title will carry a man
far even in America, and in the matri-
monial fish pond. where heiresses are
angied for, 1t makes excellent bait In
fact society across the water Is just as
much interested in the suppression OF
bogus baronets as society here Those
who have studied the subject assert that
on the existing roll Of baronets, which
numbers about thousand, there are
something like four-score pretenders,
who can easily be spotted. 1t is prob
able that there are at least as many more

Fraud.

The sausalito Municipal League, an or
ganization that has been recently organ

that those who voted for the poolroom
candidates were paid for their votes The
