BIG AMERICAN FLEET
tContinued From Page one.)

San Diego has the most equabie cli- ty years has the thermometer fallen to 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 1t has never gone lower than 32. The ex- tremei limit of warmth is 90 degrees. and that has been reached only twice fin forty years. And this is not the humid heat of the East. where even eighty degrees makes men drop in the streets. but a general mixture of the warm, dry, desert air with the delight of the cool sea breezes. Ninety de- grees of temperature here Is more toi- erable than IS degrees in Boston. New York and Philadelphia. The climate or San Diego more closely resembles that of Naples. ItalyS than any other in the world.
 San Diego is called the best "show town" of it's size on this continent It supports seven theatres, running seven days each week, with prices running from ten cents to three doI- lars for seat.
 This town has the finest State nor nal school in California. and is just completing a high school building at a cost of s200.000 and beginning con struction of another grammar school to cost s50,0o0. There are twenty-one public school building and nearly 5000 pupils. There is public library which cost $50 900 and which holds 30. .00o volumes. At Point Lorna, across the bay, is the famous Raja Yoga school, conducted by the Theosophical Society, of which this is the worlds headquarters.t One of the two Greek theatres in the United States is at Point Lorna. The other is also in Cal ifornia, at Berkeley. There are few places in the United States. outside of California, where such a theatre would be possible-an openair theatre-a theatre on the plan of the ancient, Creeks.
 Tn the matter of hotels, San Diego offers a wide field of choice, ranging from the U. S. Grant Hotel and the Hotel Coronda, to the humber apartments of modest prices. The U. s. Grant hotel is now in its final stage of construction. It is of reinforced concrete, nine stories high, cost mill lion and a half and belongs to U. S. Grant. Jr. son of the great general.
 San .Diego's railroad facilities have hitherto been insufficient, as there was but one transcontinental road touching here, and this road, the Santa Fe, took travels east by a wide detour to the north. A new company is now building a direct line to the East and the Southern Pacific is preparing to extend its rails to San Diego and through this city and county to.sthe | peninsula of Lower California. There | are three short local lines, which are | being extended each year. One of | these is building to Los Angeles. and | the others are. completing their inter | urban service between San Diego coun- | ty towns

 The body of H. Q. Daniels, drowned in the Alabama River Saturday night has not yet been found. In spite Of the fact that every available means are being employed to discover the body. no trace of if has appeared up to the present time. Many searchers are bending every effort towards Its location. and with. drags and dynamite are exploring the river for many miles unavailingly.
 It is supposed that the body is still below the surface of the river within several miles of the. wharf at Mont gomery, and a constant watch is being maintained that it may not drift down the river unseen. The fact of the dis covery of Walter Smith leads to some fear that the body of Daniels may have floated down the river in the darkness of Sunday night. It Is hoped however.,t to discover 1t within the next few hours. Meanwhile the search con- tinues.

 City at O'Clock.

Floating slowly down the Alabama river. the body of Walter Smith. drowned Saturday night. was discover ed at o'clock yesterday afternoon by Elizar Frazer. a negro fisherman. near Duncan's Eddy, about five miles below Montgomery. A large party of search CTS were nearby and they immediately rendered aid in removing the body to the shore.
 With unceasing vigilance searchers have, for the past two days. been on the lookout for the body of the drowned man. During the large part of yester- day. they were located near Duncans Eddy where the body was discovered. knowing that if 1t had not already arisen to the surface 1t would not be found further down the river than this point. In gasoline launches, bateaus, and craft of every kind they were pat rolling the waters in that vicinity, and were on the point of becoming dis couraged when the negro fisherman pointed to the corpse placidly resting on the surface of the muddy river.
 It is stated that in all probability the body remained below the surface of the river until about o'clock yes- terday. Had it arisen before that time. said one of the searchers, it would have been certainly discovered earlier.
 As soon as possible, word was sent to the Undertaker's that Smiths body had been found. and the hearse was dis patched to the scene, the body arriving in the city shortly before s o'clock A pecpliar incident noted was that the vest which Smith was known to have been wearing at the time of the ac- cident was missing. It Is supposed that he pulled off the vest in his drowning struggles. Except for . slight disfigurement of the face. the tion.

 It was an enjoyable afternoon given by the Montgomery Driving Club, surprisingly large crowd attending the first matinee of the season. The wind and rain during the latter part of the afternoon delayed things so that it was late when the last race was finished, but the entire program was completed. Besides the Fisk colt Mir Burnett's speedy trotter. Tony Boy, took his race in straight heats though the finishes were pretty close both times with the Cox mare, Pearl C.
 The only race that went into extra heats was the Class C.. pace. The Elk. Ben Whitehead's horse. and Bonnie Quinn, MT. Rice's pacer, fought 1t out. The first heat of this race was the prettiest thing of the afternoon. the two horses being almost lapped in the stretch turn and making a hot race down the stretch and the Rice horse got the decision at the wire. The next two finishes were close. but The Elk la nded them both.
