A house as large as this should have

stair arrangement in this house is
especially good, as it leads directly
from the cellar to the attic with an
easy entrance from the kitchen and a

surely spoil something.
For a great many years architects

and that will not spoil the front of the

extension on the side solves the prob

a satisfactory approach in the hall be-

LABOR DELEGATES
WILL Be A POWER
Expected to Exert Strong In
fluence in Democratic
Convention.

sam De Nedrey, secretary of the Cen
trail Labor Union. and editor of the
Trades Unionist. and John J Purcell
OF the Electrical Workers Local Union,
who have. been elected delegates to the
Democratic national convention 10 be
held at Denver, always have been at
the head and front Of the labor move
ment in Washington. They are among
the best-known labor leaders in Wash
ington. and the United States and in
electing them the labor forces Of
Washington took the initiative under
the famous edict OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and were the first TO
enter the political arena to reward their
friends and rebuke their enemies.
Many other cities are sending labor
delegates 70 the convention, and or
ganized labor will undoubtedly be
power, on its floor. Sam De Nedrey,
known throughout the Southwest as
Cyclone SAM is one or the greatest
characters in the labor movement to-
day. He is a native of the West, and
is proud Of IT, He IS a speaker and
lecturer Of great force and power, and
can handle any subject
He has made q lifetime study of the
temperance question, and then the pro-
hibition movement. and has a fund Of
facgs. figures. and historic data going
back as Tar as the age Of the ancient
Syrians. or several hundred years be-
fore Christ.
Learned Printing Trade.
Mr. De Nedrey learned his trade as
a printer and worked il from the Pa
cifc coast 10 the East and back again
several times Owing TO his great
rover as a speaker. his versatility
and originality he has always been in
demand as a public speaker, and has
been much before the public. For years
he has been organizer for the American
Federation OF Labor. and has had many
thrilling experiences in the old days in
the mining regions OF the West.
John J. Purcell is a native Wash
ingtonian and has spent his life in this
city. He has always been prominent
in the labor movement and in local
politics. He is a conservative leader,
quiet and unassuming, and II has been
said Of him that he understands the
philosophy of the labor movement bet
ter than any other man. and that It
is exemplified in him. He is an able
leader and speaker, and has that rare
quality OF diplomacy SO seldom found
except in men of large caliber. He has
a ready and responsive wit. and is
always sought.
These two men. it is expected, will
firmly establish organized labor as a
power in politics, They are expected
10 take a prominent place in the con-
vention, and TO lead and direct the labor
forces. They are preparing to lay the
foundation for a labor party. should
labor fail TO accomplish its purpose at
the polls next year, and as a conse-
quence again lose the legislation It
has been pushing before the present
Congress.

RIVAL TOWNS TO
GREET THE FLEET
(special to The Sentinel. }

San Francisco. Apr. 30.-Omcers
and men of the Pacific fleet entered
today upon the glorious windup of
their entertainment by the people of
Santa Barbara and tomorrow will
find the mighty battleships again
headed northward with the ports of
Santa Cruz and Monterey as their
objective points.
These are rival towns. and, as the
ships of the fleet will be divided be-
tween them, each will seek to outdo
the other in the lavishness of Its cell
ebration.
1t was originally intended to have
the entire fleet rendezvous at Santa
Cruz, but the people of Monterey
sent up such cry and clamor that
the navy department succumbed and
ordered a division of the fleet.
This did not please the citizens of
Santa Cruz, who desired to have the
whole show to themselves, but Mon
terey is jubilant and its business men
are intent upon showing the rival
city just how a battleship fleet should
be entertained.

There came very near being con-
siderable additional damage done
last night to the fruit crop of the
valley, for, unexpectedly. the tenn
perature took dangerous drop dur
ing the latter part of the night in
several districts.
The unlooked-for drop in the mer-
curry did not catch some of the Or
chardists unaware, for, having been
frightened by previous freezes and
frosts, quite number were on their
guard.
The indications were for night
of fairly high temperature. Conse-
quently, no warning was sent out by
the local weather bureau and no gem
eral alarm was sounded during the
night.
Keep Smudges Ready.
However, as The Sentinel urged
yesterday, all growers in the valley
should keep smudges in readiness
for quick use on any night, and,
whether there is a frost warning
sent out during the day or not. 1t
would be well for all growers to
arrange so that they can ascertain
the stages of temperature during the
night. An orchardist whose crop has
withstood the attacks of the freezes
up to this time wants to run no risk
of losing out right at the last.

ma ascertained that the temperature
was down to So degrees and was

that there was but little danger last
night, he had not had his smudge
pots filed, although he had secured
big supply of oil.
He got busy at once when he saw
that the temperature was falling, and
the oil was quickly distributed; but
before the fires were lighted and
the wicks in shape the mercury was
down to 80 degrees. Then the tenn
perature fell very fast until the 26
point was reached-a very dangerous
point but it was down that low
only few minutes. The fires were
soon burning briskly and in the face
of the freeze the air was rapidly
heated, and soon the temperature
moved up to 2S degrees. Mr.. Tur
pin and his men were soon in con-
troll, and were able to maintain the
2S degrees all the rest of the night.
1t was another clear demonstra-
ton of the advantage of smudging.
and it also added strength to the
contention that heat as well as smoke
is desirable in raising the tempera-
ture.
An orchard can stand 2S degrees
and not suffer seriously. Mr.. Tur-
pin thinks he prevented any addition
al damage to his crop last night. He
has closely examined his trees dur
ing the past two days and feels sure
that he will have big crop.
Other orchardists in Pomona
were aroused last night and started
smudge pots to going.

The letters come from all parts of
the country, from members of all po-
litieal parties, and some are said to
be almost tragic in their earnest
ness. The letters have increased in
volume the last few weeks.
The writers urge that the presi-
dent is in the thick of his campaign
for the establishment of complete
government control over interstate
commerce and other reforms, and
that it will be impossible to trans
fer this work successfully to anoth-
er since President Roosevelt's per-

is the only republican certain to de-
