PLAN FOR BIG
CELEBRATION
Two Weeks Series OF Festivities
in Connection With Irrt
CATION Congress.

Feature.
PROGRAM COVERS WIDE RANGE
(By the Associated Press. }

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. A.
Plans for what is expected to be the
greatest irrigation celebration In the
history of this country were an
nounced here today by the board of
control of the Fifteenth Irrigation
congress.
There will be two weeks series
of festivals, celebrations and jubi-
lees held in connection with the ir-
rigation congress, which opens in
this city September 2. Heretofore
the congress has been largely west
ern in its composition. but this year
a special effort has been made to
give it national character. The
program has been arranged to have
very wide range of subjects, includ-
ing much that is of interest to the
east as well as the west.
The principal feature of the cele-
brations which will mark this event
will be magnificent irrigation pa
rade. This will be composed of es-
pecially designed floats, allegorically
representative of irrigation and its
developments in the most ancient
times; other floats representing the
irrigated states and typifying the
spirit of the occasion, and a splendid
train of military and civic Organiza-
tions and other special features. One
of the striking features of the pa
rade will be the great Chinese water
god, Chinese dragon several hun
dred feet in length, carried through
the streets by sons of the fowery
kingdom, whose ancestors looked to
this monster for the waters with
which to food their rice paddys
thousands of years ago. The electri-
cal street illuminations will be the
most elaborate
FestOOns and incandescents will be
everywhere, while prominent corners
will be adorned with electrical wind
mills and other special designs, all
typifying irrigation.
Other features will be fruit feasts
carnivals and harvest jubilees, elabo-
rate musical and social functions,
steamboat and yacht excursions on
the Sacramento and railway excur-
siOns over the state.
The interstate exposition of irri-
CATION land products and forest pro-
ducts which will be the principal
event auxiliary to the congress,
promises a splendid assemblage, es-
pecially of the products of irrigated
lands. The list of trophies for inter-
state competition is now complete
and consists of twenty magnificent
loving cups provided by prominent
westerners at cost of from $3.50
to $1,000 each. Farmers prizes to
the value of many thousand dollars
will be distributed among individual
exhibitors.

ATTEMPTED SEALING RAID
FRUSTRATED BY RUSSIANS
(By the Associated Press. }

VICTORIA, b. c., Aug. AID
vices have been received here of an
attempted sealing raid by the Japan
ese sealing schooners Kaike Maru
and Midori Maru on June /, on the
seal rookeries at Copper island,
guarded by Russians. The schooner
Kaike Maru has returned to Moiaku,
Richuku province, Japan, and re-
ported three of her sealing boats and
twelve men captured by the Rus
slams. The other Japanese sealing
schooner, the Midori Maru, which
had been anchored close to the Kaike
Maru, had been fired upon by the
Russian rookery guard and her mast
had been damaged by the shell fire
from a field gun on shore.
Investigation by the local authori-
ties shows that the two schooners
had gone to Copper island to raid
the seal rookeries and had been sur
prised by the Russian guard, which
had been strengthened and armed
with field gun in addition to rifles
One of the japanese sealers was
shot and twelve captured from the
Kaike Maru, and it was not known
what befell the Midori Maru and her
crew.

.FR|GHTFULLY HURT
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
THREE WELL KNOWN YOUNG
MEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN
A COLLISION.
I'LL NEVER RIDE IN AN AUTO AGAIN"
All Three We're Picked Up Uncon-
sciOus and Taken to Hos

I'll NEVER RIDE IN AN AUTO AGAIN"
(By the Associated Press. J

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Three well
known young men were frightfully,
If not fatally injured today, when
their automobile was struck by sur
face car and after being showed
along for a distance of thirty feet,
was smashed to fragments against
an elevated railroad pillar
The victims are Swift Tarbell, son
of Gage e. Tarbell, who was former
ly vice president of the Equitable
Life Insurance society; Edward L.
WOOdson and William C. Cutching
Tarbell has broken leg, disocat-
ed shoulder, gasoline burns on the
face and body and is black with
bruises. His companions suffered
similar bruises and Cutching also
had leg broken, shoulder dislo-
Gated, and what appears to be frac-
ture of the skull. Woodson was the
most fortunate of the three, but is
badly off through shock.
On the way to Bellevue hospital,
where the injured were taken, in
Guiding Tarbell, who owned and
drove the car, Tarbell regained his
senses and inquired whether the ma
chine had been ruined. Upon being
told that it had been, he commented:
I'm glad of it. I'll never ride in
an automobile again.
The party was bound for Garden
City, Long Island, where the three
were to meet the elder Tarbel. Their
forty horsepower machine was COM
ing down the incline on East 34th
street as fair speed, when, at the
junction of Third avenue a surface
car crossed their path. The automo-
bilists say the street car was run
ming beyond control, while others
say that Tarbell attempted to beat
out the trolley at the crossing. The
car struck the automobile squarely
and jammed it against the railway
pillar with such force that the car
was derailed, the automobile torn to
pieces and it's occupants held fast in
the wreckage. Cutching was thrown
under the surface car between the
trucks and wedged between the
brakebeam and the pavement. Had
the rear trucks moved a few inches
further, they must have cut him in
two. Tarbell was caught between
the running board of the Car and one
side of the wrecked machine. His
broken leg had been pushed through
the spokes of wheel. Woodson was
pinioned under the trolley's forward
trucks. 1t was necessary to raise the
passenger car before the injured man
could be taken out All were un-
conscious.

WELLMAN POLAR
EXPEDITION DELAYED
SPITZBERGEN. July 25.

SPITZBERGEN, July 25,
via Tromsoe, Aug. 1.-The
Wellman Chicago Record
Herald polar expedition has
been hampered greatly by a
high wind, which at times be-
came a violent gale, threat
ening the balloon house. The
damage done has been re-
paired and as arrangements
now have been perfected and
the gas apparatus has been
found to work most satisfac-
torily, it is hoped, unless fur
ther accidents occur, to start
for the pole about the middle
of August.
The imitation of the balloon
will begin tomorrow. The un-
usually bad weather has pre-
vented ships reaching Spitz-

shows no stirring of activity and
bond dealers are not able to report
any important absorption for demand
investment. An incident of the week,
however, was the sale by the Atch-
ison, Topeka G Santa Fe railway to
J. P. Morgan & Company of the un-
subscribed portion of the $26,00O,-
900 of per cent convertible bonds,
which had been offered to stockhold-
ers at par, the residue thus sold be-
ing stated at about SIS, 100000, and
the price to the bankers is supposed
to be about 98. The transaction was
regarded as evidence of the contin-
ued difficulty of securing capital, but
the fact that the attempt was saved
from failure was made the subject
of professed qualification on the part
of the principals.

JAPS DISCUSSED

Writers in English Weeklles Express
Curiosity as to Americas Plans
in the Far East-Germany
Also Slow to Act
By Associated Press.


LONDON, May 31.-The European
policy in the far east and the friction
between the United States and Japan
is engaging the attention of the weekly
reviews of London. The Spectator this
week comments upon the absence of
America and Germany from the system
of alliances now embracing Great Brit
ain, France, Russia and Japan, and af-
ter dealing with the various reasons
that animate America and Germany in
holding aloofs the paper says one object
of these alliances is to enable Europe
plus Japan to press its advance on
China with irresistible weight. This,
however, as a means of preserving
peace in the east, will not be possible
unless Europe is united, and tie Spec
tator therefore urges that Germany
should be courteously invited to enter
the European ring and that an inquiry
should be forwarded to Washington
whether America intends to await
events or join Europe and Japan in a
scheme for securing in the far east
long period of opportunity for peaceful
and fruitful advance.
The Saturday Review, in an editorial
article dealing with the relations be-
tween the United States and Japan,
draws attention to the great sympathy
of Latin America toward Japan as indi-
Gated by the welcoming of japanese
immigrants to South America and the
fostering of trade and commerce with
the island empire.
This review then dwells upon the as
sumed identical ethnic origin of the
Japanese and the Indians of Latin
America, and says that perhaps among
the surprises of the future will be the
development of widespread japanese
influence on the Latin American conti- |
nent, based on unsupported ethnic
grounds which may terribly upset that
manifest destiny Of supremacy over
the American continent which Ameri- |
can statesmen have been 0roclaiming |
since the early days of the republic.

that, although he spoke quietly, he
stumbled over his words.
Mr.. Fairall your conduct is bois-
ferrous, offensive, insulting and con-
temptuous. 1 adjudge you guilty OF
contempt of court, and as punishment
for it it is ordered that you be con-
fined in the county Jail in the city and
county of San Francisco for a period OF
twenty-four hours
II thank your honor. l think that Is

contempt of this court and as punish
ment therefor 1t is ordered, adjudged
and decreed that you be confined In the

period of forty-eight hours. Now, Mr..
Campbell, will you proceed?'
Juror Bray, one of the eleven sworn,
was the next to draw the fire of the
prosecution, to whom had been con-
veyed the information that he was re-
lated by marriage to the mayor. Bray
could not say whether this was fact.
He had heard that it was. Schmitz
himself, though he had been refused
audience earlier in the day by tl-1 court
came to the rescue. He rose and made
this statement:
IF your honor please, the relation is
this, as 1 can trace it down-and l
would not want to see a relative of
mine sitting on my jury-the relation
is that this gentleman's wife is related
by fourth cousinship to a gentleman
who married my wife's sister-a man of
the name of Murphy"
Everybody laughed and Judge Dunno
threatened to clear the court If the Of
Tense were repeated. Bray was excused
from the jury, the court holding that
no matter how distant the relationship
with the defendant, 1T disqualified him
Bray himself had asked to be dis
charged.
Juror Harris was excused peremptori.
ly by the prosecution, and Juror Arms
assistant chief engineer of the Union
iron works, by the defense. Juror Rich
ard Curtis, who had been accepted anG

sworn.

RENTS AND LIVING
HIGH IN NORTH
High Wages Demanded in San Franz
cisco Because Laborers Have No
Other Alternatlve-ScaIe Is
Higher Than Elsewhere
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-That
rents and the cost of living are too
high and are primarily the cause of
the high wages demanded here and that
the percentage contract system was
largely responsible for the demoralized
conditions in the building trades were
the conclusions arrived at this after
noon at a meeting of a committee ap-
pointed by the Builders exchange and
committee from the realty board.
The two committees had been ap-
pointed to consider ways and means
for bringing about a restoration of nor
NAL conditions in the building trades
in this city. The committee from the
Builders exchange, headed by Secre-
tary James A. Wilson, submitted
table showing the scale of wages paid
in the thirty-five leading cities in the
United States. In nearly all trades it
was found that the scale paid in San
Francisco was from 212 to 15 cents an
hour higher than that paid in Seattle,
where was paid the next highest scale.
1t was found that plumbers, steam
filters and gas filters were paid 6A
cents an hour more in Seattle than in
San Francisco. With these exceptions
this city pays the highest wages in the
country.
The committee from the realty board
admitted that the prevailing rents
asked in this city were too high and
that these must be reduced if labor
was to be asked to submit to a reduc-
ton in wages.

UNION BEER IS
THING Of PAST
By Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 31.-The last barrel
of union" beer in Chicago, and the
whole country, according to an edict
of the American Federation of Labor,
will be manufactured today. At mid
night the Brewery Workers union will
cease to exist in the eyes of the ma
tional labor leaders, and the 100000
organized workingmen in the United
States will be asked to get on the
water wagon" or use some other kind
of beverage.
The brewery employees have rebelled
against President Gompers and the
national labor executive council, and
they are to be disciplined. The method
adopted is that of expulsion.
The trouble has been growing for
several years Two months ago the
national labor council met in Wash
ington and gave the Brewery Workers
union until June l to comply with an
order to oust all engineers, firemen
and teamsters from it's organization.
These men were under the protection
of the Brewery Mems union, who took
vote and 9S per cent of the member
ship favored resistance to the order,
which brought about the present sit
uation.
Secretary Kemper of the local union
said that 5000 brewery workers in Chi
cago will go on brewing beer whether
the American Federation of Labor re-
CARDS it officially as union" product
or not.

GEORGE AND FRANK
GOULD TO AID BROTHER
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 31.--When Howard
Gould is hailed into court by the suit
for separation brought by his wife, for
merly Miss Katherine Clemmons, it IS
likely that his brothers, George and
Frank, will be called to testify in his
behalf. 1t was announced yesterday
by an intimate friend of Mr.. Gould
that although it would be distastetul
to members of the family to appear in
court the two brothers had expressed
their willingness to do so.
From present indications it seems
assured that the whole history of the
domestic troubles of Howard Gould
and his wife will come out when the
case is finally taken into court. Mr..
Gould himself says that there will be
no change in the present plan of pro-
cedure that he will face the charges
of his wife in court and will retaliate
by plain speaking in regard to her con-
duct during the years they lived to-
gether.
