Although the City Was Not in the
Right Mood for Soaking, Ranch

Although Jack ashore did not ap-

day ON land yesterday, all Californians
wore the happy, contented look of pros
porous citizens. AS for the San Joa-

the air and then forgot to pull the
sombrero down again.
AS customary, when rain falls in
Southern California, the local office of
the United States weather bureau was

"This is the first good rain since
February g. 1908, when 1888 inches fell.
We have had several rainy spells since,
but none of any consequence.
Reports of rainfall in the San Joa-

"At Chino, San Bernardino and Riv-

Los Angeles got but .o2 inch more,

From our storm warning station at

quite choppy."
The following report on the rain was

ARE VERY ANXIOUS
ABOUT YACHT RACE
HAWAIIANS FEAR CALIFORNIA
is DELINQUENT
Island Builds Sailing Graft by Popular
Subscription, but No Competitor
Has Been Named for
June 1

With a s25,OOO yacht built by popular
subscription to come to California
waters to try to win back the cup won
by Commodore Sinclair's Lurline
of the South Coast Yacht club last
year, the Hawaiians fear that since no
cup defender has been named by the
local yachtsmen so far that there may
be no race.
So great is their anxiety over that
matter that they have communicated
with the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce regarding 1t.
AS a result yesterday the following
committee was appointed by that body
to help arrange for a yacht race to be
run between the new Hawaiian chal-
lenger, the Hawaii, and some local
racing craft: DR.. James Barlow, Q. A.
Sumner and James Slauson.
Lloyd Childs, agent for the Hawaii
promotion committee for Southern
California, with headquarters at the
Chamber of Commerce building, Los
Angeles, said yesterday on this mat
ter:
This race is looked upon as an an
nuaI affair between Hawaiian and Cali
fornia yachts. The date set for the
race this year is June II and the new
Hawaiian challenger will arrive in local
waters two weeks before that with her
crew of eleven men. She was built
by popular subscription and christened
by Miss Mary Kaui Wilcox. The de-
sgner of the craft Is that famous boat
builder CroWninShield.
Any Yacht Is Eligible
"Any American craft belonging to
any recognized yacht club is eligible
for entry. The idea is, in lieu of the
hard times through which this country
passed recently, not to ask any indi-
Vidual yachtsman to undergo the eX-
pense of the race, amounting to $4,000,
but rather to have some yacht club.
like the South Coast, for instance. to
manage the affair.
''The date for the race this year is
June IL at San Pedro. All Hawaii is
anxious to win back the handsome cup
which Commodore Sinclatrs Lurline
won in the run to Hawaiian waters last
year.
TT will be big event and of in
terest to the public generally and to
yachtsmen all over the world.
"The Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce is doing all in it's power to
have some local yacht club enter rae
ing boat to defend the cup. Hawaiians
will be bitterly disappointed If they
have no opportunity given them to at
tempt to win back the trophy.

sued by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney

I'VE have received frequent COM
plants about auctions that are being
conducted in Los Angeles" said Ford,
land from now on every law relating
to auctioneers will be vigorously en-
forced.
Several months ago I had num-
ber of persons engaged in mock auc-
tions come to my office. I read them
the law regarding transactions of that
character and warned them they must
quit that kind of business. They prom
ised to be good and have been up to
the time the fleet arrived. Now have
received complaints from persons who
have bought goods said to be gold, but
really nothing but gilded brass.
"Those engaged in that business will
be prosecuted If they continue to sell
articles of jewelry that have been mis-
represented

notwithstanding the additional
work imposed upon the police because
of the crowds in this city during the
stay of the fleet, the officers have been
investigating number of establish
ments. The representatives of the
prosecuting attorneys office and the
police are working together and we
will endeavor to rid the city of this
class of merchants"
The state law provides that aue-
tioneers must file a bond and secure a
license before they have legal right
to sell goods. If convicted of viola
tion of this law, the penalty is severe.
For selling goods at mock auction,
if convicted, the auctioneer's license is
revoked and he is forever barred from
securing another license within the
state. The law also provides a penalty
of not more than three years confine-
ment in state prison, or one years
Imprisonment in the city Jail, or a fine
of not more than $1,000, or both impris-
onment and fine.
Harris, Thorn and Horowitz were
arraigned in police court yesterday
afternoon and will again appear lin
court today to plead to the charges
against them. Their bail was fixed at
$100 each.
