East Is to Blame

vicinity during the present month, eSpe-
cially during the morning and evening
hours.
East Is to Blame
"The depression formed in the east
has done much to accentuate this con-
dition and causes the clouds to hang
| on longer than usual. 1t is my opinion
that the present gloomy weather will
disappear within the next thirty-six
hours and we will again have sunshine
in abundance. The storm is passing
slowly because of it's great magnitude
and judging from the reports in the
local Office conditions after tomorrow
will be more settled-unless some un-
forseen circumstance in the weather
arises
Mr.. Wollaber saved himself with that
last clause, and if it starts in to rain
the proverbial cats and dogs he can
point with pride to the fact that the
unforeseen circumstance arose to inter-
fere with his prediction for the weather
that should meet the emergencies of q
young summer in Los Angeles and
Southern California.
Hard Rain in Suburbs
That the rainfall yesterday was much
heavier in the outlying districts than in
Los Angeles itself was attested to in
many ways. Persons coming in from
Hollywood, Colegrave and the different
towns in the vicinity of the city pre-
sented a drenched appearance, while
their fellow citizens who had not been
away from the center of town were in
comparatively dry state.
Last seasons record, so far as total
precipitation is concerned, is still in
tact, as yesterdays rainfall did not
materially increase this seasons total.
Last season 1928 inches of moisture
was recorded as having fallen, while
this season the figures amount to but
1870 inches. Still this much better
than the average rainfall for the past
twenty-nine years, which records 1866
inches as the yearly precipitation.

WEST POINTERS
MAY Be INVOLVED
Wife of Colonel Wants Pay for
Being Barred from Military Acad-
emy After Numerous Mis-
understandings
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HIGHLAND FALLS, N. Y, June L.
After reading a communication from
the war department Lieutenant Colonel
Charles G. Ayres tonight declared that
he would support his wife in the action
she has instructed her attorney to in
stitute against Superintendent Hugh
Scott and other officers of the West
Point military academy
Colonel Ayres returned this evening
from New York and found the letter
from Washington awaiting him. While
declining to discuss it's contents, he in
timated that they touched upon the
course adopted by Mrs. Ayres. He
made it plain that he proposed to see
his wife through to the finish.'
Colonel Ayres said that he would not
make public the letter from the war
department until he had first shown it
to his wife's attorney, in whose hands
it would be placed tmoorrow.
Mrs. Ayres' attorney, Mann Trice of
New York, has been instructed to file
damage suits aggregating 100000
against Colonel Scott, Lieutenant Colo
mel Robert L. Howse, commandant of
cadets; Captain Llewellyn w. oliver.
assistant instructor of tactics, and
Lieutenant Colonel Stephen c. Mills,
inspector general.
1t is understood that Mrs. Ayres
bases her allegations upon alleged dis
courtesies received at West Point and
which eliminated in the colonels wife
being forbidden to enter the reserva-
tion. The Ayres home adjoins the acad-
envy grounds.
Lawyer Has Case
Mrs Ayres said the case is now in
the hands of a New York lawyer and
to tIaA will
be served If the case comes to trial
it is believed that some interesting side
lights will be thrown on the social life
at the academy. Under ordinary cir
cumstances any Observation-Disclosures III
which the officers of the academy or
their wives might become involved
would be threshed out before a court
martial and the testimony never would
be published.
In this case, however, appeal is to be
made to the civil courts, and any tes-
timony probably would be given In
public. Mrs. Ayres is the wife of Lieut..
Col. Charles Ayres, who returned Satur-
day on leave of absence following duty
in the Philippines and Is now stationed
at the academy She resides just out
side the reservation, in Highland Falls,
and under a recent order issued upon
request of the academy officials, Mrs
Ayres is denied the privilege of visiting
the academy grounds.
The order of prohibition, which is
said to have a large place in Mrs.
Ayres complaint in support of her suit
for damages, does not apply to her
husband, or to her son, who is cadet
at the academy. The order of prohibit
tion against Mrs. Ayres, which was
issued before her husband had returned
from the Philippines, followed long
period of misunderstanding between
Mrs. Agres and the academy officials.
The facts are disputed, and it is be-
lieved that interesting testimony may
be introduced by both sides to the con-
tention should the case come to trial.

TIME weather man reclined at ease in

-HE weather man recljned at ease in
his office in the Trust company S
4 building. He gazed through the
spacious windows down onto the sour
rying, umbrellaless crowd, and smiled
in satanic satisfaction whenever he saw
a summer clad maiden or a straw
hated man making a bee line for the
shelter of the awning.
For it was raining-and in mid-June,
too. Mr.. Wollaber, the weather mau,
knew he was responsible for the Whole
thing, but as an armed force stood
guard at the door of his offices he knew
that there was no danger of an 1nva-
sion or being lynched by a justly in
furiated mob.
whats this you're handing us?" Mr..
Wollaber was asked wnen the outer
guard had finally been passed and the
inner sanctum reached. Don't you
know that there is a law against rain
in June?"
This brought the weather man to his
feet. "Who told you it didn't rain IN
June?" he replied, reaching for the
dope box" Just take a look at this"
and Mr.. Wollaber hauled out string
of figures long enough to reach to the
north pole.
Weather Not Exceptional
Last year was exceptionally pleas
ant, for we had sixteen perfectly clear
days in the month of June. Nine were
partly cloudy, while the other five days
in the month were altogether cloudy.
"The preceding year, 1905, was also
exceptional. as we had no rain what
ever. All the years between that ana
1900 we had traces of rain during June,
and in 1903 .02 of an inch of rain fell.
June in the year 1899 was one of
hard rains, as .5S of an inch was pre-
cipitated The record for the month,
so far as thirty years of records in this
office are concerned, came in the June
of 1884, when a grand total of 1.39 inches
of rain fell in Los Angeles.
$50 don't tell me that we're having
an exceptional June-so far as it has
gone, anyway. Today's rainfall, in
which .01 of an inch was precipitated in
Los Angeles, according to the instru-
ments in our office, was caused by
disturbance which is lowering over the
entire western half of the country. 1t

SMALL AUDIENCE
HEARS GOOD MUSIC
HAMILTON HILL, AUSTRALIAN
BARITONE, DELIGHTS HOMO
LULU MUSIC LOVERS.

About three hundred persons attend
ed the recital of Hamilton Hill the
Australian baritone, at the Opera
House last evening. The singer de-
served a much better crowd in point
of numbers, for this work was we'll
worth hearing, but he could not COM
plain of the reception accorded him by
those who were present Moreover
the audience was representative of Ho-
nolulus musical element, and the
hearty applause accorded each number
sung denoted keen and discriminating
appreciation.
Mr.. Hill sang twelve numbers, and
responded to no encores. His pro-
gram was made up almost entirely of
familiar classics, which by repetition
never grow old. They also covered a
considerable range and gave the singer
opportunity to prove his quite admir-
able versatility Mr.. Hill has strong
voice and well controlled, and he puts
a great deal of energy and expression
into it. incidentally this interpreta-
ton on the part of the singer tested the
ability of the accompanist, Mrs. w. l..
Whitney, who however, was fully
equal to the occasion. Her clever and
sympathetic playing added much to the
effectiveness of the vacalist's efforts.
Three we'll rendered piano selections
were included in the evenings pro-
gram, played by the well known local
artist, Carlos Caceres. He was warm
ly applauded and responded to one en-

KOREAN MONARCH

TOXIC, June 1S.-The fact that the
Korean Emperor prevented the Cabi-
net from meeting before the throne and
subsequently refused an audience to
the Japanese Premier on the pretense
of illness causes unpleasant reflections
here as to the progress of reform. 1t
is deemed unfortunate that the EN-
peror, after approving the personnel
of the new Ministry, should again re-
lapse into his chronic willingness TO
listen to ex-Ministers and court syco-
plants
The Jill Shimbun urges radical re-
forms in the Corean court The Japa-
nese it is said, are pleased with Mar
quis Ito's reorganization of the adj
ministration, whereby the powers and
functions of the Cabinet have been en-
larged, and the attempt of the court
to interfere with the administration
will be checked and the Government
enabled to stand Independent of out
side influence This, concludes the Jill
Shimbun, is a long step toward a con-
stitutional government.
