ALMOST EXHAUSTED,
ISLANDERS CONTINUE
FIGHT FOR LEVEES

ANTIOCH, Jan. 24-Weary with
watching and numb from exposure to
the cold rain which has been falling
during the last fourteen hours, the men
patrolling the island leVees are almost
exhausted, but making the fight of
their lives against the elements.
Telephone messages from the several
threatened islands state that conditions
remain the same as yesterday While
every embankment is waterlogged, all
are holding remarkably we'll If the
levees can hold out another twenty
four hours it is believed the danger will
be passed.
While J. NJ. Upham and his men
made mighty effort to close the break
in Upper Sherman island, all hope of
overcoming the inrushing waters was
given up last evening. 1t is estimated
that the~water can be removed in about
ninety days. but no crops can be har-
vested this year
Two years ago virtually every river
island was submerged, the acreage
amounting to hundreds of thousands,
and the losses reaching millions of dol
lars. At present only 28,7OO acres are
submerged.

whether Senator Bell of Pasadena
should be admitted to party caucuses
is generally regarded as a fair indiCa-
ton of the future attitude of most OF
the Republican senators on the big
vital questions, such as the race track
bill, the initiative and kindred mea-
sures.
Those who voted to admit Bell are
Senators Anthony Boynton, who con-
Quoted the fight for the Southern Cali
forria man; Birdsall, Black, Cutten,
Reilly, Roseberry, Rush, Savage, Stet-
son, Strobridge, Thompson, Welch and
Walker. The vote stood IA for admiS-
sion to 16 against.
Lieutenant Governor Porter has
shown his hand in the appointment OF
the senate committee on public morals
which consists of Senators Weed, chair
man; Wolfe, Leavitt, Savage and Ken
nedy.
This committee will handle the race
track bill. If the bill gets through this
committee to the senate for action it
will be only after a strong popular up
rising throughout the state.
An utterly new and unanticipated
power is asserting itself here with tell
ing effect. 1t is the Peoples Legisla-
tive bureau, or, as it is more commonly
referred to by the big daily papers, the
Peoples lobby.
For the first time in the history of
California the people of the state are
watching their law makers at close
range by proxy.
Already the Peoples lobby has an
earthed and given to the press the de-
tails of one or two deep-laid plots to
render null the efforts of the decent
element in the legislature.
The first, and thus far the most i'm
portant service to the public performed
by the Peoples lobby is the uncovering
Of the scheme Of the organization lead
ers in the senate to force upon that
body rule enabling fourteen members
to prevent any bill from becoming law.
The performers had hoped to adopt &
rule to the effect that no bill should be
recalled from committee except upon
two-thirds vote of the senate.
The Peoples lobby discovered this
plot, gave out the news to the friendly
press, and tile ensuing publicity put an
end to it.
The second service rendered by the
Peoples lobby directly through the
moral effect of it's very existence, was
seen in the adoption in both houses of
drastic rules prohibiting the presence Of
lobbyists upon the floor.
Although the machine leaders sup
ported these rules in the expectation
that the representative of the People
lobby might be seriously hampered in
his work, the direct contrary has he
suited; and the fact that the HattonS
and the Burkes have been conspicuous
by their absence since the first day OF
the session is evidence of the quality Of

C ACRAMENTO, Jan. 24-The hard

perienced in this section of the
state in twenty years is raging tonight
north of Sacramento and Redding.
Telegraph and telephone wires are
badly tangled north of here and not

The snow blockade is more complete
than the tieup of traffic last week by

Two trains, the first to cross the
temporary tresue over Stoney creek,
which was carried away last week by
the flood, arrived at Redding this
evening, but will go no farther north
tonight, unless the telegraph lines are
recovered.
There has been no communication
with points north of there all day.
A heavy snow fell during the day

Rainfall Toward South
The Sacramento river, regardless of
the fact that a strong south wind blew
most of the day at Sacramento, has
fallen nearly two feet since midnight
Saturday.
1t has Tained steadily since noon
south of Sacramento, but as there is
freezing weather in the foothills and
mountains the streams will only be
required to handle the water which
falls in the mountains.
1t is felt that danger from the flood

Rio Vista reports tonight that the
river there has fallen six inches and
that all levees are standing, with no
probability of submergence Of any Of
the islands.
The wind was strong there in the
afternoon, but fell when the sun went
down.
IsletOn, Walnut Grove and Courtlano
gave equally encouraging reports and
there is general feeling that danger
from high water is at an end.
The water is still pouring into Sher-
man island. AT the present rate it
will take five days to fill it,
No crop can be grown on Sherman

estimated at million and a half.

UNCLE SAM HOPES
TO Be ABLE TO END
MINE EXPLOSIONS
Miniature Coliery Is Fitted Up and
Filled with Poisonous Gases
While Men Rescue
Dummies

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-In it's eff
fort to stop the appalling loss of life
in the coal mines Of the country, the
United States government has now
in full operation an experiment station
at Pittsburg, with the purpose of dis
covering the causes Of mine disasters
and suggesting remedy. Within the
last few days it has been demonstrated
that many of the so called safety
explosives are anything but Safe-in
fact, that the miner takes his life in
his hand every time he touches off a
fuse.
1t is the purpose of the government
to continue these experiments until
the explosives of the country are STAN
dardized.
Every effort is being made at the
station to come as close to the condi-
| tions in a mine as possible. The tests
of various dynamites and powders used
in blasting coal are being made in a
mammoth boiler plate cylinder which
has previously been filled with gas or
coal dust.
The, cylinder is 100 feet long and six
feet in diameter. Safety valves have
been placed all along the top and are
| left unfastened in such a manner that
whenever there is an explosion the
valves fly open on their hinges.
In addition to the actual experiments
in testing explosives, important expert
ments are being made in rescue work.
| One part of the station has been fitted
up as a miniature coal mine. This is
a large glass incased. air tight room
which contains difficult passages, such
as are found in coal mines.
There are also various distractions
similar to what would be found in q
mine after it had been wrecked by an
explosion also dummies weighing $50
! to 200 pounds, representing asphyxiated
miners.
| This room is filed with deadly gas,
and a rescue corps of men who are be-
| ing trained in the work enter daily
clad in helmets which supply them
with oxygen while they work.
The men remain in this chamber for
| two hours, removing distractions,
picking up the dummies, placing them
on stretchers and carrying them away.

SAN FRANCISCO AGAIN is
VISITED BY TRANSFORMS

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-Despite
forecasts to the contrary another storm
broke over this city and vicinity today,
rain falling at intervals.
The Southern Pacific company has
reopened many of its routes blocked
by waShouts and dandslides and tenn
porary repairs on the American river
bridge above Sacramento were so far
advanced today that overland traffic
via Salt Lake is now routed that way
The Sacramento local line on the
west side of the river is still blocked
and the Stockton route is being used.
The coast line is open to Santa Bar
bara, but blocked by a landslide near
Ventura. Los Angeles traffic is being
routed via Fresno and Mojave over
the valley line.
In the flooded section about Stock
ton, Sacramento and Antioch condi-
lions are improving and no further
damage is anticipated. At Antioch
the levee guards have successfully
fought back the flood for days and il
they pass tomorrow without new
breaks they believe all danger will be
over.

Capt. Fourier, when he was informed
of the call, and for the next six hours
he sent his ship tearing through the
fog at the dangerous speed of twenty
knots, which brought her to the scene
shortly after the hour of noon.
Then and until nightfall La Lor-
raine steamed slowly about in the mist,
searching for the water-logged Re-
public, whose ship bell could be heard,
so near was the French steamer to the

All this time La Lorraine was in
close wireless touch with the White
Star liner Baltic, which also had has

Finally as night was falling the Bal

on La Lorraine that the passengers of

the Italian liner Florida.
This, coupled with request from
the Baltic to follow the Florida into
New York, sent La Lorraine on her
