Do HARM IN
Los ANGELES
Los Angeles and Southern
California Inundated by
5 Inches of Rain

LOS ANGELES, Jan. lit is i'm
possible to learn the full extent of
the damage done in southern Cali
fornia by the rainstorm which ended
early today, after precipitating five
inches Of water during a period Of 20
hours, an almost unprecedented rec
ord for southern California.
The railroads have been the heav-
lest 10 er=. long stretches of road bed
and numerous bridges having been
washed away~or SO badly weakened
that trains cannot pass over them I'M
til repairs are made. Over but one of
the several routes by which this city
is reached, are trains running, on any
thing Ike scheduled time tonight and
some trains from the east that were
due to arrive in this city on Friday
last are still stalled in mountain
passes or on the desert, and will not
reach here until Tuesday or Wednes.
day
The county of Los Angeles has lost
two costly bridges, both Of which
spanned the San Gabriel river. and
many miles of highway have been
badly damaged by the floods.
Rancfers Suffer Loss.
Ranchers along the course of the
Santa Ana and San Gabriel rivers
have suffered great damage from the
floods, both in Los Angeles and in
Riverside and Orange counties.
No lives have been lost as far as
reported as a result of the storm, but
there have been several narrow es-

partially submerged farm houses.
Several cloudbursts in the Sierras
above Pasadena and towns in the San
Gabriel valley added great volumes Of
water to the streams which flow from
the canyons, already swollen, until
their banks were overlooking and to-
night the two rivers are pouring into
the sea a greater volume of water
than has been seen in them for 20
years.
Communication RestabIished.
After being isolated for 4S hours,
partial communication is again estab
l:shed between Los Angeles and the
outside world, although it will be
many days before the damage
wrought by the transforms of the past
four days is repaired and all lines of
communication are restored to their
normal conditions.
At GAS o'clock tonight the Golden
State limited train of the Southern
Pacific route which had been stalled
at Indo for two days, arrived here.
Trains and 10 were sent east late
today via Ell Paso, with prospects of
getting through unless further dam
age occurs.
Some of the belated trains on the
Southern Pacific and Salt Lake roads
are expected to arrive here tomorrow.
The Southern Pacific coast route is,
however, the only one to this city over
which trains are running on schedule
time.

Double Cycle Riding.

The Commissioners should promptly
heed the suggestion of the corOner's jury
which investigated the death of the little
girl who was killed in this city the other
night while riding on a bicycle with an
other child, and write police regulation
prohibiting the use of a bicycle motor
cycle by more than one person, unless
definitely built for two. 1t was obvious
from the testimony in this case that the
wheel was unmanageable owing TO the
fact that two girls were riding it. Had
it been ordinarily occupied the accident
would not have happened. A police reg
ulaton may not be always effective in
warning children. but IL would help ma
terially in teaching the lesson that this
is a dangerous practice. \ few arrests
for double riding would be of value in
enforcing the suggestion. II is espe-
cially desirable TO write prohibi-
ton of this kind with reference to motor
cycles. A few months ago such a rule
was suggested by the serious burning of
young woman who was riding as a
passenger on one of these machines pro-
PEELED by man. Her dress was fired by
the overheated engine, and she suffered
injuries from which she Is even now
barely recovered. Although this case
plainly pointed to the need of some pro-
hibitive regulation. nothing was done in
that direction. and now the matter re-
ours in view of the death of the little
girl the other night. 1t is to be hoped
that no more time will be lost before

Kings in Exile.

FROM the New York Tribune.

cided to settle in England, the tradi-
tional friend and ally of the country
which has deposed him. Necessity has
OFTEN made England the chosen refuge
OF deposed kings. 1t was absolute ne
cess1ty apart from all question of
prediction, that drove Napoleon III
thlther, for he would have been unwel-
come elsewhere. 1t was necessity pure
and simple that sent Louis XVIII there
after he had been ordered to leave
Russia and, had been informed that his
continued presence in Prussia would
be unwelcOme and embarrassing to it's
government In Vienna he was as
heartily disliked as Napoleon himself.
Charles X, remembering his brother's
hum1i1ating experiences, naturally re-
turned to the country that had shell
tered them both before the restoration.
and Louis Philippe had nowhere else to
go in turbulent Europe of 1S4S. But
even If England has been in these in
stances necessity rather than a choice
for depoSed rulers, it has offered them,
and offers them today. advantages
which they can find nowhere elsa

interests of the state, security of per-
son and life and, last and best, an I'M

fed hospitality, the hospitality which
is of the genius of the race, and which
is balm to the self-respect and wounded
pride of the royal recipient.

The Smoke Nuisance.
the Indianapolis Star.

From the indianapolis Star.
October in Indiana is almost invariably
a beautiful month. to many minds the
most delightful of the year. with its
wildly blue skies and it's clear atmos-
phere that stirs the blood like wine. That
is, it is a beautiful month and it's skies
are blue and clear outside of the cities
The weather for the last two weeks, with
the exception of two or three days OF
rain, has been almost perfect. but the
people of Indianapolis have not had il
at its best because of the smoke from
innumerable chimneys. In the mornings
the heavy pail of this smoke rests ovel
the city in such density that it is not
until the sun is two or three hours high
that the people can be sure whether OF
not the heavens are cloudy or clear 1r
the evening it is as bad, and at midday
the air is not clear from flying SCOT and
an observing haze which is by no means
the normal haze of purpling autumn OIL
Indian summer. Even rainy days are
made more dismal and uncomfortable b,
the mixture of smoke tlnit the moist
air carries with it.

Vermont and the Senate.

In these days of evolution, devolution,
and wild-eyeu gossip about revolution,
the story from Vermont comes to sootne
and to encourage. All is not lost. There
Will be cakes and ale after November, no
matter what happens on election day.
In the Green Mountain state yesterday
the legislature chose d United States
senator, and the vote was unanimous.
The candidate was d republican, but
even the democrats voted for him. \
democrat presented his name.
Well, why not? The man was worthy
commission but short time, but is well
known at home through service in other
offices. The people of the state feel that
they can trust him, and democrats and
republicans alike improve the opportunity
to do so.
Given the right conditions, therefore,
and there is still such a thing as unanim-
ity, even in our politics. Vermont, it is
true, is a small state. and the democrats
are few. The republicans, simply by
standing together, could have elected
anyb body. But they put up "a man alto
gether worthy, and thus invited the CO.
operation of the opposition.
This comes pleasantly at time when
senatorial speculation in other states is
far from creditable. In New York, New
Jersey and Ohio, for instance, where the
Senate enters into the calculation, some
queer suggestions are made. Charles F..
Murphy for Mr.. Depew's seat, George B.
Cox for Mr.. Dicks, and James Smith,
jr., for Mr.. Keans. Anything senatorial
there? Nothing. Democratic success in
New York would not mean Mr.. Murphy
for the Senate, nor republican success in
Ohio Mr.. Cox. Democratic success in
New Jersey might we'll mean Mr.. Smith,
for, 1t did mean him once upon a time.
He has served term in the Senate
But even campaign gossip should be in
a higher key. The Senate is great
body. Its business is of the most i'm
portant character. Members should rep
resent the best their states have to be-
stow on the public service. The mere
boss has never succeeded there. Whether
he came from east or west, he failed.
Whether mute in his seat, or noisy on
his legs, he betrayed his deficiency for his
senatorial duties.
He has never been numerous in the
Senate, and there is no likelihood that
he ever will be. But even one is too
many. In some way he should be kept
out of a place which is far above his
usefulness and so much desired by men
of the right stripe.

avail. The republicans i'm good faith as
sisted in the defeat of the Patterson judi
cial ticket. OF course in doing so they
served themselves. AS citizens of the
state they were interested in high-claSs
judicial selections But at the same time
they served the anti-Patterson democrats,
who in addition to desire for the right
kind of judges wanted to strike blow
at the Patterson machine.
l. Besides, the republicans in making their
gubernatorial nomination invited re-
ciprocation of the favor they HAD rendered
their democratic allies. They nominated
first-cIass man. quite the equal in point
of ability of any political leader in the
state Not a fiowery orator or captivating
entertainer like Mr.. Taylor, Col. Hooper
possesses every qualification necessary to
a successful discharge of the duties of
governor.
Ordinarily, Col. Hooper would have had
as large a majority at the polls as had
the anti-Patterson judicial ticket in Au-
gust. But is that possible now? With the
democratic national committee shouting
regularity at them, and pointing to the
general political temper of the country,
will all of the men who promised CO.
operation with the republicans before
Maine went democratic and the New York
republicans became embroiled stand pat?
Some of them will, but how many?
When it was announced that the Presi-
dent desired the success OF Col Hooper,
Gov. Patterson said in substance: NO
outside pressure. Let Tennesseans settle
their own affairs in their own way" Now
the shoe is on the other foot. What does
the governor say to this invasion of the
state by Chairman Mack, with words of
threat for all democrats who refuse 10
vote for Mr.. Taylor? Mr.. Mack's pres
sure is from the outside, most decidedly.

A Misuse of Poker.
From the Chicago Post


Without attempting to speak as pro-
fessonal, we would yet question the ad-
visibility of seeking to establish a tesla
tors sapty on the ground that he played a
good game of poker This effort, now being
made In disputed will case in Phila-
delphia, seems to have been inconclusive,
and We must indorse the referees eau
tious attitude, For excellence at poker
is by no means a trait of commonplace
everyday sanity. The ability to tell
whether an opponent has four kings or
four-fush is something supernatural
1t is eerie, weird, creepy. 1t does not
make its possessor stand out as .'of
sound mind" but rather as of mind that
is beyond the comprehension of ordinary
mOrtals. Were evidence being offered as
to excellence in the coldiy intellectual
game of bridge, the court might listen
with respect, but as to poker the case is
far different. Genius is always too near
akin to insanity to figure as a test OF
reason.

Chairman Mack and Tennessee

Senator Taylor is being assisted I'm his
race for Governor of Tennessee by the
democratic national committee. Chairman
Mack in his official capacity has appealed
to all democrats of the state to vote the
ticket. He indorses ii as both regular
and worthy. Forget Patterson, and think
OF Taylor. Bury all differences, and clasp
hands again as brothers.
The playing of this card Is the confess
sion OF very great danger. Undoubtedly
the democrats today fear defeat. They
have done what they could to repair the
damage inflicted by the Patterson nomi-
nation. In substituting Mr.. Taylor they
drafted the strongest man I'm their ranns.

they found something lacking. and now
they have invited and obtained outside
help. VIII II avail?
