figures are somewhat larger than the
number OF sheep reported in the as
sessment would seem TO justify, but
the wool is reported to be actually
shipped from here. The explanation
is that perhaps a good many sheep on
the ranges escape the assessor.
The hay crop is perhaps one-third
below the average in volume, but the
value is not materially affected. In
comparing the hay estimates Of this
department with those of the agri-
cultural department of the govern
ment, remember the government does
not take account of our very valuable
crop Of wild hay"

HIGH NAVAL OFFICERS AT
CAPITAL MOURN DEMISE
McCaIIa'S Record Marked by
Heroic Acts

WASHINGTON, May 6.-High naval
officers in Washington, when they
learned today of the sudden death OF
Rear Admiral Bowman Henry McCalla
at Santa Barbara, Cal, were unani-
nous in their expressions of sorrow and
praise of the dead officer.
Rear Admiral McCalla was born at
Camden, N. J., in 1874, entering the
navy in 1861. His service during the
almost thirty-nine years of active duty
in all parts of the world was noted by
conspicuous heroic acts. His most bril-
liant achievements were in connection
with the war with Spain, and with the
Picking relief column, for which he re-
ceived signal recognition in the form
of a congressional medal for distin-
guished service in battle, and also in
ternational acknowledgment of his Ia
Dor through the bestowal on him of the
order of the Red Eagle by the German
emperor, and of the Chinese war medal
by the king of England. All of this
was after his excellent record in the
Civil War
Admiral McCalla was made mem
ber of the Loyal Legion. decorated in
other orders and advanced in rank in
the navy.
His last active service in the army
was as commander of the naval train
ing station at Mare Island, Cal, and of
the navy yard there, and he retired
June 10, 1906. For some time he had
been living in Southern California with
his family,

Watts Woman Thinks Fowl Was
Cooked After Exciting
Scene at Fence

A little red hen that strayed away
from home, got into the wrong coop
and can't get back; and a broom that
went to it's rescue and stuck in the
enemys barbed wire fence would have
have formed the basis of criminal
complaint yesterday if Deputy District
Attorney Blair had not devoted an
entire day of his time to persuading
Miss Mathilda Cornwall, so years old.
pioneer and property owner of Watts,
to get a writ of claim and delivery
against her former friend and neigh

a warrant that would have hailed the
good woman into a Justices court,
charged with theft.
Miss Cornwall recognized the hens
cackling cry for liberty, and arming
herself with a broom, was in the act
of storming the enemy's back fence
when Mrs. Goldstein is said to have
used an ironing board to resist the
charge. Miss Cornwall saved herself
from falling, but lost her broom. In
milder terms she demanded her prop
erty. Mrs. Goldstein, she said, sneered,
and seizing the disputed fowl, declared
she would devour 1t that night. Miss
Cornwall told Mr.. Blair that she
smeiled burning chicken that night;
suffered the humiliation of being hit by
flying chicken bone the next morning,

The "show me" movement in Los
Angeles is now to advance by leaps

About 200 of the sons of Missouri gath

chamber of commerce yesterday after
noon and determined, themselves, that
they would organize themselves.
The following organization committee

P. j. Chase suggested that o. M

SANTA MONICA IS GOOD
NAME, BUT OVERWORKED
Street Bobs Up After Two Ave-
nues, and the Sign Posts
May Be Changed

Whenever there was any doubt about
the proper name for street in the
early days the pioneers called it Santa
Monica This passion for hitching the
name of Santa Monica to so many
streets is causing trouble, now that Los
Angeles is spreading out and taking in
any old street that happens to be in a
district it wants to annex.
Santa Monica street has bobbed up,
as the two Santa Monica avenues did a
few weeks ago, and wants it's name
changed. People who live on the street
filed petition yesterday in which they
asked that the name by changed to
Clinton street or that Santa Monica and
Clinton streets be called Bellevue ave-
nue.. They describe Santa Monica
street as extending from Powers to
Hartford and from Cover to Vine, one
block south of Melrose avenue. This
street, they say, is practically a con-
tinuation of Clinton street.
AS matters now stand, there is
Santa Monica street, Santa Monica
boulevard and Santa Monica avenue, all
In different portions of the city. The
streets and boulevards committee is
shuddering for fear some one will dis
cover a Santa Monica court, Santa
Monica place and Santa Monica way
before the committee can beat them
to it.

STANDS ON HIS COCOA
UNTIL CHAINED DOWN
County Jail Prisoner Does Aero

Guardians

Don Patterson, for many years an
acrobatio performer in Ringing Broth

county JAIL has developed a new mania
which is causing the think tanks of
the Jail attaches much concern. Pat
terson was recently discovered stand
ing on his head in rigid position
on the floor of his cell. At every op-
portunity he assumes this position. His
only excuse is that he is keeping in
good form for the next show.
Jailor Gallagher called in physician
who handed down an opinion to the
effect that Patterson through some
strange freak of nature has suddenly
lost his sense of gravity and would
rather stand on his head than his feet.
Patterson, on. the other hand, emphat-
ically denies that his noodle is out or
commission.
Patterson is guest of the county
because he originally developed
mania for the purloining of silver
spoons. The police found his trunks
filled with them. He appeared sane
in every way and was sent up for a
turn on the roads. Shortly after his
confinement trusty found him stand
ing downright in. his cell. He called
Chief Clerk Brown, who watched the
performance for some time and tnen
called Chief Deputy Nolan. Nolan

audience. Then an Investigation was
instituted. He scoffed at the idea that
his tank leaked and offered to answer
any questions they put to MN. But
the next day they found his feet In
the air in the same old way. His jail
ers scratched their heads and held a
council of war. They pleaded with
him to abandon the practice, but he
only laughed at their concern. I'm
not off me nut" he told them. But
I'd rather stand on me noodle than
eat. Besides it kills time and puts
me in good form fer de next show,

But they have devised way to keep
Patterson off his brain pan. Chained
TO two iron balls he is gently reminded
of the natural force of gravity and is
bewailng an unkind fate that forces
him to do as other men do. But stand
ing on your head in the county jail
gets on the jailers' nerves. They
would rather see things right side up.

]. Foy has asked the city council to
pay him that sum, in a petition filed
with the council yesterday. He claims
his leg was amputated by reason of
an accident he met while employed on
the aquecduct as helper on a traction
engine.
Foy's attorney, who presented the

the engine and rolled under the wheels
so that his body was badly bruised

young man and had bright future
before him but that by reason of the
fact that he will have to finish up his
