TOO MUCH HOSPITALITY
 MAKES SAILORS STALE
Naval Officers Complain of Effect of the
 California Welcoming
In Spite of the Protest Santa Barbara is Prepared for Another Round of Rejoicing Covering the Next Three Days

Santa Barbara, April 26.-The Santa Barbara flower festival In honor of the visit of the Atlantic fleet will be- gin tomorrow, when the floral parade and battle of bouquets will cail to Ocean Boulevard and Plaza Del Mar, practically all the officers of the fleet and an outpouring of Californians for miles around. Today, rest and too much merrymaking it is believed is going to initiate against a strict main tainance of the splendid efficiency gained by careful training and the long cruise around South America. AL ready men are beginning to think more of the pleasure program at the next port of call. according to the officers than to their routine duties abroad.
 Thirty-six hundred sailors and ma rines came ashore today but found little to amuse them. The fighting force on the vessels outnumbers by several thousand the entire population of Santa Barbara. Rear Admirals Thomas, Sperry and Emory in full dress uniform accompanied by their staffs came ashore this morning and officially returned the call of welcome paid to them yesterday by Mayor Boeseke, Rear Admiral McCalla and other members of the local committee.
 Aboard the Mississippi careful in quiry was in progress to determine the extent of the damage done yester- day when the high pressure cylinder head of the port engine cracked and blew out. It is feared that it will be sometime before the damaged parts can be replaced. Fire at the plant of the Newport News Ship Building ocm- pany. where the Missouri was con structed. destroyed some of the detail
 ed plans of the engines, a year and a half ago, and it is said that this will
 result in a long delay. In the mean time the disabled cylinder will be cut out of the triple expansion engine. which win be- compounded to two cylinder basis. It is possible that the Missouri will be left at Mare Island

The Atlantic fleet will sail through the Golden Gate alone, but the ships of the Pacific fleet will join them at Angel Isls9d, just within tho harbor entrance. and the combined force of fOrty-six battleships. cruisers. torpedo boat Gestroyers and auxiliaries will parade through the bay to the re- viewing anchorage.

THE MISSING MEN
 OF THE GLADIATORS
Probably Twenty Eight of the British Cruisers Crew Victims of the Coli- sion.

London, April 26.--The total number of dead and missing of the Gladiator's crew as d result of a collision between the American liner St. Paul and the British cruiser off the Isle of Wight is twenty-eight. The total number of known deaths is five. Twenty three are missing and six are suffering from severe injuries.
 The secretary Of the admiralty eX- presses a fear that there are eight others missing. Divers today searched part Of the sunken cruiser for bodies but were not successful in finding any. The opinion among shipping men and naval officers appears to be unani- nous that the accident was unavoid able.

Maroons- Glendale.


 QuirOs struck out seven men in the first four innings and only thirteen men were up to bat So there is not much of d story. The Beet Eaters scored in the fifth. Two were gone when Johnson grounded to third and was safe: Davis hit by pitcher gave him secoAd and two more third base bobbies let him 10 the plate. Marks famed and SD did Erickson. They were easy in the sixth and got two on bases in seventh by an error at third and a safe hit but were given no chance to score. A review of this ef- fort shows Glendale only got two safe hits off Quiros and that he struck out twelve in seven sessions.

TORNADOES' DEATH TOLL
 FOUR SOUTHERN STATES
Approximately Correct Figures Have Been
 Collected
The Number of Victims is $50 While Many Hundreds are Painfully Seriously Injured Forty-SiX Towns Were Wrecked or Damaged.

New Orleans. April 26.-The totals of death. misery and, ruin caused in four southern states by Fridays tor naio came to hand today in an ap- proximately correct form. They are: Killed $50; injured painfully or ser iously. 1900; homeless, several thou sand. Towns reported seriously wrecked, 46: habitations and business houses practically in complete luins in these towns, about 2,500. These fig ures do not include the wrecking of plantations and farms, scores of which were struck and damaged. The num- ber of dead may never be known ac- curately for the reason that about 300 of them were negroes and they were buried in many communities without careful records being made of num- bcrS.
 By following the wreckage of towns the general direction of the tornado can be traced closely. Apparently the storm struck in three currents each describing the arc oe circle. travel ing toward the northeast. The first of these struck through northern Louis jana. Mississippi and Tennessee, be- fore daylight on Friday morning. The second appeared farther south about : o'clock in Louisiana and Mississippi. This was apparently a portion of the storm which swept through Alabama and Georgia on Friday night and Sat urday morning. The third portion ap- peared during Friday afternoon fur ther south than either of its prede- cessors. This is the storm which de- molished Amite. La. and Purvis. Miss. where the wreckage was the worst.
 Why the fatalities were so large was apparent today from a glance at the photographs which arrived here from many portions of the tornado belt. They all tel the same story. Whole blocks of yFbat were formerly little residences and cabins lie sheared over the ground n separate boards. lf a huge lumber pile had been scattered over these areas the number of boards unattached to anything else. could scarcely been greater. Under the mass of wreckage many persons were bur jed, not one in q hundred escaping without some injury. The homes of the whites held together better than those of the negroes
 Along with the accounts of suffering have come many recitals of many re- markable experiences. Today has been one of relief measures throughout the wrecked district. The ruined towns have been visited by thousands of spectators. many of whom went with few dollars in their pockets to dis tribute among the needy.
 The following is a list by states of forty-six towns representing more or less damage:

Grand Junction, Colo.-A mass
meeting of the land owners under the
proposed government high line canal
was held here Thursday for the pur-
pose of raising 100000 to start the
work on the canal in cooperation with
the government and $25,000 was
pledged at the meeting 1t is expected
that the remainder can be raised in a
comparatively short time. Engineer
Sands stated that it would require
about two months to complete the pre-
liminaries. after which actual construc-
ton would begin. The project will ir-
rigate over 10000 acres of land and
will cost S1,500.000. 1t is estimated
that the population of Grand Junction
will be doubled by it.

Ex-PREsIDENT or MANUFACTURE
ERs' ASSOCIATION OPPOSED
TO PROSPERITY PLAcARDs.
LETTER TO Mr.. KERN
SAYS NO MANS BREAD AND BUT
TER SHOULD DEPEND ON
HOW HE VOTES.

indianapolis. Ind.-D. M. Parry, ex-
presiden. of the National Association
Of Manufacturers and prominent Re-
publican and manufacturer in Indiana,
in reply to letter from John w. Kern,
Democratic nominee for vice presi-
dent, has announced himself as op-
posed to the posting of so-called pros
perity placards" in factories.
Mr.. Parry's letter In part follows:
my Dear Mr.. Kern:-I have your
very interesting letter concerning the
prosperity placards, and to disabuse
your mind at once Of any doubt as to
where stand on this matter will say
that no such placards will be posted at
the plant of the Parry Manufacturing
Company.
II have had a good deal to say In the
past about the abuse of power by the
labor unions-some people tell me l
have said too much on the subject-but
l have yet to say a word In favor of
any abuse of power by the employer.
And 1t is an abuse OF the power of the
employer to intimate to the employe
that his services will not be needed II
he does not vote a certain way. When
q man is made to believe that his bread
and butter depend on how he votes. he
is no longer free to air his own judg-
ment-hs Is deprived of the most i'm
portant OF his citizenship rights. be-
lieve 1t is our duty to frown down upon
all efforts to sway the judgment of
men other than by methods OF proper
argument and persuasion untinctured
with coercion.
Il am sure that the great majority
OF the manufacturers of the country
will refrain from posting of the objec-
tionable rlacards, and that mainly be-
cause 1t would be taking an unjust and
distressing advantage of the employe.
There Is the further reason also that
most manufacturers run their business
In accordance with the demand for
their products and not in accordance
with the political barometer. 1t is
poor business Judgment, on the face
of it, to post promise to run factory
full time In the event of any ones cleo
tion, for there is chance, you know.
that the promise may have to be made
good In the face Of adverse conditions.
"Shouli the promise for any reason
not be made good the employer would
be guilty of bad faith with his men,
and II the employer does not keep faith
with his men he cannot expect his men
to keep faith with him.
"As for the tariff, think the coun-
try is to be congratulated in that both
parties promise its readjustment am
free to say that the Parry Manufactur
ing Company is willing to see any du-
ties imposed for the protection of the
buggy business go on the trading list
In negotiating with foreign countries
for reciprocity, and there are other
manufacturers in a similarly generous
mood"

gan Monday evening at o'clock, when
the night shifts in every camp of the
state in which the United Mine Work

camps where the miners are not or
ganized. and one of the principal in

The name of Metchnikoff has been
attached to number of interesting
scientific discoveries. 1t hasn't reached
the status of a household word, but is
sufficiently well known to give 1t q
familiar look. Metchnikoff is con-
nected with the Pasteur institute In
Paris and is also student of the hu-
man organism. Metchinkoff's latest
discovery is macrophagoytosis, the
disease of old age-a disease that
Metchnikoff asserts is curable. He
even goes SO far as to say that a
hundred years hence the disease OF
old age will be treated like bronchitis
and diphtheria are treated, and cured.
At the present time. says the Cleve.
land Plain Dealer. our knowledge of
the ailment-no doubt the Oldest and
most fatal the world has known--is
not sufficiently acute to enable us to
attack 1t directly. 1t must be fought
through the diet. by careful and alb
stemious hygiene. by moderate exer'
else. by sufficient sleep. by vege-
tartan diet. by abstinence from the
popular liquids and by close atten.

go to the making up of the sum OF

Certainly the aboriginal Americans

OF Oklahoma which formerly was In
dian Territory has large section of
land which looked good to many
prospective buyers. Under present
arrangements the land is to be
thrown open for purchase by white
settlers on such terms as they can
make with the present possessors. A
party OF speculative gentlemen thought
It would be bright idea to give the
Indians a feast. with all sorts of rel
ishable things In the way of eatables
and drinkables and complimentary
speeches. Then they tried to make a
deal by which they could get the land
ut rates that would make the invest
n1ent highly remunerative. But the
willy red men. who had swallowed the
tempting food and appetizing liquids
as well as the honeyed words. were
not caught. They perceived the anx-
aety OF the spectators to buy, and
they fixed prices that were about
double they had asked before the
spread was given. These aborigines
