noon a heavy gale ragged and there
were frequent showers. During the
day AS of an inch of rain fell.
Early this morning the wind was
from the north. Later it shifted sud-
denly to the south. Gradually the
ocean grew wilder until great white
caps covered the bay and enormous
breakers pounded roughly, the spray
flying far.
The owners of light craft moored off
the wharf hurried to the end of the pier
and put off to their launches in row.

feared they would never rench the
larger vessels, the rowboats soaring on
the crest of great swells and then dis
appearing in the deep troughs.
Albert Whitney's 16-foot fishing boat
broke from it's moorings, as did the
Dorothy L., owned by Jack Miller, and
both were washed ashore. The former
boat went on the beach in front of the
Pike. The Dorothy l.. nearly came to
grief on the remains of the old pier.

men ran out into the breakers and
guided her ashore in front of Hotel
Virginia. She will be lifted out of the
sand tomorrow and hauled overland to
the inner harbor.
A dispute which threatened to prove
serious arose between the owners of
the Dorothy L., who appeared on the
scene and others, who said they would
claim salvage.

SAN BERNARDINO, March I'll
en-year-old Henry Fischer the lad
who claims that he drove from Search

slaughter Determine to Secure
His Release

SAN BERNARDINO, March 21.-It
was learned today that the attorneys
for J. E. Whitehead, recently found
guilty of manslaughter and who is
charged with having shot Charles
Euhro to death at Chino, will make
an effort when the convicted man is
arraigned for sentence tomorrow
morning to secure his release on pa
role.
The district attorney has not ex-
pressed his sentiments in regard to the
matter, but it seems to be the belief
he will be willing, owing to circum-
stances which surrounded the shoot
ing, to allow the prisoner to be pa
rolled for a period of years equal to
the time of his sentence.

THE BATHROOM

Many people find tiled walls for the
bathroom beyond their means, but the
room may be made both sanitary and
attractive by the use of wall paper
that comes for the purpose.
The paper has been treated to a coat
of varnish, but it is just as well to give
it another after it is hung, and so make
assurance doqbly sure.
This will stand any amount or
washing.
A non absorbent floor is necessity
in this room, but thing Is not the only
thing having this desirable quality.
Linoleum is to be had in mosaic pat
terms as well as tiled effects and is
both durable and pretty.
Appropriate rugs for use on the floor
here are the hand-woven cotton rugs
that wash satisfactorily and last long
time.
OF course no bathroom, no matter
how costly. is pleasing to the eye unless
it is kept perfectly clean, so there
should be as little as possible of
dust-catching nature, the rods used for
curtains being perfectly plain and the
washable curtains hanging only to the
window sill.

Stipulation Accepted
[Ry Associated Press. ]

PARIS, March 21.-The great strike
of the employees of the postoffice de-
partment. which virtually has isolated
Paris and cut off France from COM
munication with the outside world for
the last week, collapsed today. :,
The strike committee decided to call
off the employees and made the first
move to effect a settlement, virtually
suing for peace. The government Will
meet the committee half way.
Representatives of the linemen called
today upon NJ. Barthou, minister OF
public works, ostensibly for the pur-
pose of protesting against the charges
that they had cut the wires, but during
the course of the interview they COM
municated to the minister the terms on
which the allied associations collective
ly would resume work.
These were, first, the resignation OF
M. Simyan, under secretary OF posts
and telegraphs; second, that no en-
ployes should be dismissed on account
Of the strike.
Want Direct Dealings
They desired also the assurance that
the delegates of the association here
after should be permitted to lay their
grievances directly before the minister
of public works.
M. Barthou received the deputation
in a conciliatOry spirit. he SAID tnat
the government could not discuss the
resignation of an official except with
parliament, but he gave the delega-
ton the satisfaction it demanded on
other points.
Premier Clemenceau met the deputa-
ton later and confirmed M. Barthou's
statement with regard to the attitude
of the government.
At the conclusion of these private in
HI 4. vfxaflr
committee met and decided upon the
resumption of work tomorrow. This
decision was announced at mass
meeting at which 5000 strikers were
present.
Already the strikers are returning ia
work.
An official statement which was
issued this evening reports that more
than a third of the strikers resumed
work in Paris today.

GRINDING OF THE MILLS.

The old and trite saying that the
Mills of the Gods grind slowly but
they grind exceeding fine" is brought
to mind by the publication of a news
item from Lisbon stating that the
law books of w. S. Potts had been
sold on execution. Years ago Mr.
Potts was the publisher of the Ohio
Patriot of New Lisbon and was a
power in politics. He was very abus.
i've with his pen and made many rash
and uncalled for statements concern
ing those of whom he had cause to be
Jealous. Today reports are that he is
a broken old man seeking the charity
of his friends to aid in securing a
position under Gov. Harmon that will
enable him to leave Lisbon and seek
new fields. The worst enemy of this
unfortunate man could hardly ask for
a worse situation than confronts him
in his declining years. 1t is a lesson
that should serve as an example to
the rising generation to not permit
their tempers to run away with better
judgment. Mr.. Potts is to be sympa-
thized with and while his present con-
ditiOn may be but the legitimate re-
suit of his own making yet if he can
be placed in a position of comparative
affluance where his disposition, even
if not toned down by adverse fortune,
can not cause harm to himself and
others it would be a consumatlon
devoutly to be wished. If he ever
deserved punishment for his acts he
has been certainly punished enough
and none but craven would refuse
to lend a helping hand in this hour
of his affiictiOn.
