RUSSIANS TO COLONIzE
FOOTHILLS OF MERGED
Four Thousand Subjects OF
Gar Want California
Grain Lands

The colonizing OF 500 Russian fam
ilies-about 1000 Industrious subjects
of the Czar-upon the rich grain lands
in the foothills OF the Sierras. in Mer-
ced and Stanislaus counties, is a pro-
ject in which W. NJ. Coward of Stockton
is interested. Coward is at the Palace,
with a Russian interpreter and COM
mittee representing the Russian fam
lilies. who have just returned from an
inspection of the acreage beyond the
Turloek and Modesto irrigation, dis
tricts. Among the sights they saw was
the great dam at the head of the irri-
CATION canals, and with the exception
of the English Governments dam on
the Nile it is the highest overflow dam
In the world. This and the grain fields
and the warehouses impressed the Rus
SLAMS favorably, and it is likely that
they will decide to settle their country
men in that section
The 500 are now at Los Angeles, and
about forty families are here. More
Russians. at the rate of forty or fifty
a week, are arriving at Los Angeles,
and as soon as they select a locality
the colonization scheme will be placed
in charge of the trustees and zoo acres
will be allotted to each family. They
seek only grain lands. They are pro-
vided with means enough to make the
venture a success. and If the first
colony likes 1t at least 100000 farmers

MYSTERIOUS DEATH Of
LODGING HOUSE PATRON
Man Gives Name of Craig
and Says He Was Hurt
by a Streetcar
FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
Removed to Receiving Hos
pital' Where He Dies
Unidentified

A tragedy of a cheap lodging house
and a mystery carried to the grave by
a man who did not give his full name
could be identified will probably be-
come a subject for police investigation.
At II o'clock Saturday night a we'll
dressed laboring man, wearing patent
leather shoes, and with a bruised and
bleeding head. applied to the night
clerk at the ST. George clearinghouse
in Howard street. between Eighth and
Ninth, for a room. He said that his
name was Craig and that he had been
injured by being scraped from one
streetcar by another in passing. The
clerk thought the man was Intoxicated
and gave him a bed. Craig left in
structions that he should be called at
o'clock yesterday morning. At that
hour the bedmaker, Fred Cringle, went
to awaken him, but Craig did not re-
spond to the call. At 3 o'clock Cringle
returned and shook the man, who
would not awaken. Becoming alarmed,
he summoned Policeman McMurray,
who found Craig fully dressed on the
bed, with his face swollen and blood
oozing from his ears An ambulance
was summoned and the unconscious
man was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital, where he died last evening with
out having regained consciousness.
In removing the injured man from
the hotel difficulties were encountered
which show the surprising construc-
ton of the place. The room was so
small that stretcher could not be
taken in -and the man had to be first
carried into the hall the hall was so
narrow and the door of~such small
dimensions that the stretcher could not
beEcarried through 1t was only by
showing it through tiers of cots in a
room crowded with them that an exit
was finally made. The man was in
room 135, which indicates that more
than 200 sleepers are accommodated in
this three STORY structure.

ROCKEFELLER PREPARES
FOR PR|NCELY GIT is
May Leave $250,Ooo,O 900 in
His Will for Education
and Charity

NEW YORK. March 1s.-The Herald
says that according to a member of
John d. Rockefeller Jr.'s Bible class,
who is also personal friend of John
D. Rockefeller and in position to
know of affairs, the latter proposes to
make princely gift to New York City.
1t will amount to at least $50, 900, 900.
1t will be partly charity and partly
educational The Herald adds:
This man said that when Rockefeller was con.
ferring with his son at Lakewood, N. j.. fort
night ago the meeting was not for the purpose
of discussing any immediate gift but was on the
subject OF Rockefelier's will, which document the
oil king was then completing with the aid OF his
son and HIS lawyers. 1t was said that this docu-
ment will astonish the world when 1t s made
public Ii will, II is declared, give no less than
$3.50 600 900 for charitable and educational pur-
poses and il will be bestowed that the bene-
at therefrom will almost be perpetual.
The manner in which these bequests VIII be
bestowed is said to be mainly educational and
Charitable While there are some contributions
for religious purposes 1t is said that Rockefeller
does not think It necessary to extend any great
financial aid to churches. He thinks the churches
are growing steadily stronger and that there is
no danger that they win ever need any great
financial assistance from one man.

GREATEST DAMAGE IS
DUE To MUD DEPOSITS
Crest of Ohio Flood Is in
Sight and Worst Now
Believed Over

CINCINNATI, March 17-with a
stage of 81 feet at 5 o'clock this even
ing. it was believed that the crest of
the Ohio food was not far away.
Forecaster Bassler has placed the prob
able crest at not less than 60 feet, but
his estimates anticipated it's arrival
some time tomorrow afternoon. The
damage done by the food may far ex-
ceed that in the January flood, because
of the unusually large amount of mud
carried by the river at this time.
The present flood, however, has come
from unprecedentedly heavy rains on
a soft soil, the result being an ex-
cessive amount of mud which has set
tied on all that II covered so that the
loss will go far in excess of a winter
food. The suffering has probably been
somewhat lessened by the milder
weather, although many thousand per-
sons have been driven from their
homes and caused great loss and suf-
fering by the rising water
It is understood that the worst is
over at points above here The city
suffered a loss of about s150.000 early
In the day by the collapse of the
Eighth street viaduct over the rail-
roads OF the Mill Creek section of the
city. Three fifty-foot spans of this
yiaduct went down into the flood, but
the high water is not believed to have
been the sole cause Of the disaster.
Various traction lines using the via
duct are put to much Inconvenience.

PEACEMAKER IS SLAIN

German Cabinet Maker
Killed During Row
in the Mission

Joseph Barlacker, acting the part of
peacemaker. tried to dissuade John and
Frank Voris from their intention to
''go. after" an enemy He met the
usual fate of the peacemaker. He was
shot and almost instantly killed by
John Voris, a cabinet-maker living at

place last night about $3.50 o'clock at
Twenty-sixth and Bryant streets. in

Rose, and at the door Of the rooming-
house in. which Barlacker and his wife
lived.
According to Rose and Mrs. Barlacker
the two brothers came into, the saloon
about 9 o'clock and talked excitedly
about some man who was alleged to
have been the object of John Voris'
wifes affections. They said they would
"get him." Mrs. Barlacker claims she
overheard part of the conversation
when she came into the saloon from
their rooms above to get some beer.
She hastened to her husband and ad-
vised him that his two friends were
about to do something rash. He went
down stairs at once and, according to
Rose, attempted to get the men to
abandon their intention. They refused
and a quarrel resulted which was con-
tipued in the street in front of the
saloon. There were no witnesses when
the shot was fired by John Voris, who
with his brother escaped to their home,
