CALIFORNIA STORM
MOVING SOUTHWARK
FLOOD CONDITIONS, HOWEVER,
STILL SERIOUS.
There Is a Slight Improvement of
Traffic Conditions.

san Francisco. March S.-The storm
which as held all northern Cali
fornia in it's grip for the last
four days is rapidly moving
southwark. Though more rain is
indicated below Tehachepi tomor-
row, the worst of the storm is be-
lieved to have passed, according to
the forecast of the weather for to-
morrow in northern California val
leys. Southern Pacific officials re-
ported that the overland trains which
were held up on the Sacramento di-
vision by snowstorms have cleared
y transfer of passengers held up
there to trains on the other side
will be made tomorrow morning
Train No !, for Los Angeles, has
been stalled since Monday morning
Flood conditions continue serious in
various sections. Heavy rains are
still falling at visalia. and the Ievees
there are threatened.
Coalinga is reported waterbound
and no trains are expected there until
tomorrow night. San Benito county
suffered heavy damage, as thousands
of acres of land have been sub
merged. From San Luis Obispo re-
ports came of the drawing of two
boys. Many bridges i'm that valley

farmland devastated

MILITIAMEN INVITED.
That Forms Cause for Still Another
Guess.

Washington, March S.-Militia Off
GERS of all the states viii be invited
To participate in the operations of the
army at San Antonio was the an
nOuncement made at the war depart
ment tonight. coupled with the state
ment that the invitation viii be extend
ed with view of giving the officers
of the national guard practical field
experience There are about 5000 OF
these officers, but as the acceptance of
the invitation is optional il cannot be
foretold how many will avail them
selves of the opportunity to participate
The announcement gave rise to
further speculation at Washington in
connection with the unprecedented
movement of troops. The dearth of
officers Of the army and the fact that
the war department has been knocking
at the doors of congress for additional
officers gave ground for the conjecture
that the real purpose of the invitation
is to use the national guard officers
to command the regular troops. The
need Of the army for officers led color
to this version. Congress at the last
session passed a bill authorizing 230
additional officers.

DETAIL PLANS FOR
R0OSEVElTs VISIT
Big Folks Will Gather on Plaza, Chill
dren at Central School, Boy
Scouts at Y. NJ. C. A.

Daily the committees are working out
the smaller details of the arrangements
for the visit of Colonel Roosevelt
Herewith is given the program for
Phoenix as i is now planned.
Colonel Roosevelt will arrive i'm
Phoenix not later than IL. 80. from
Mesa City, on the forenoon of March
20. and will be taken direct to the city
hall, where shortly before II o'clock
he will deliver his address to the pub
lie, assembled on the plaza. The
speaking stand will be an extension to
the front of the regular city hall
entrance. The stand will not be large
one, provided with reserved seats for
two or three hundred favored citizens
as in the case of the visit Of Pres-
dent Taft. but will be exclusive to the
few who Will have to do with the cere-
mony, leaving a greater area in front
for the crowd.
Immediately after the speaking Mr.
Roosevelt will be taken in an autOmO-
bile with the Y. NJ. G. a. building as
his objective point. where he is TO be
the guest of honor at a luncheon En-
route, however. he will stop on the
east side of the Central school build
ing. on Central avenue, where the
school children will be assembled just
as they were on the occasion of the
visit of President Taft. There will be
this difference, however When the
president was here somebody got
frightened at a little incident of
pressing crowd and the presidents body
guard ordered the machine to proceed
so the children were cheated out of
their speech. This time there will be
no fear of such an incident and Mr..
Roosevelt will positively stop and speak
to them for a few minutes. They will
have better chance TO see him there
than at any other place.
Proceeding. when the Y. NJ. c. A.
building is reached the boy scouts will
be lined up in front of it and when
he reaches the steps he will stop there,
turn and address them for few min
utes.
Then will follow the luncheon. which
is scheduled for l o'clock. Immediate
ly after the colonel will be ushered into
one of the larger rooms of the building
where he will devote thirty minutes to
shaking hands with his formec Rough
Rider comrades. This will be sort of
an executive session as nobody Will
be admitted except members of the col
Oners former regiment.
As soon as this session is over the
colonel and his party will be turned
over to the automobile transportation
committee under the direction of
George Purdv Bullard and i tour of
about two hours duration will take
the visitors around the city, ont to the
capitol and through as much of the

EIGHT WERE SAVED
OF WRECKED SHIP
MANY MORE WERE LEFT IN
PERIL.
A Hope That Morning Would Find
Them Alive.

Norfolk. Va, March S.-UndaunteC
after a day and night of battle with
one Of the worst storms the coast
has experienced in years, the life
savers rescued tonight eight Of the
thirty or more men stranded on the
steamer Manchuria, which lies 900
feet out on the beach, three miles
south of Little Island. Blinded by a
terrific snowstorm, with a northeast
gale dashing waves on the decks of
the ship. to which chung the crew.
the lifesavers tried to shoot a line
to them. The lifesavers We're often
caught by the angry waves and
dashed high on the beach.
Finally they made a life line fast,
shot a basket out to the stranded
ship and brought ashore one by one
eight of the crew. The journey to
the shore was almost entirely under
water. The storm increased in fury
until the waves beat back on the
beach several hundred feet, and the
lifesavers. recognizing that it would
be suicidal to attempt to take off
any more of the crew. abandoned the
work Of rescue for the time. The
ManchUria signals flashed that the
ship was leaking. but it will prob
ably last through the storm tonight.

Sixty persons have already joined the

ANOTHER BREAK
IN THE COLORADO
Hope of Repairing II Before the An
nual Rise.

Yuma, March S.-A serious break
in the partly constructed dam across
the channel of the Colorado river has
occurred. Government officials say
that about 175 feet of the trestle
and rock dumped on each side has
been carried away While they ex-
press confidence of being able to re-
pair the break, it is recognized that
the season of high water is ap-
preaching and that the water may
break into the Salton basin, as it did
four years ago and threaten the I'm
perial and Coachella valleys. The
work of repairing the damage has al
ready been started in the hope of
closing the break before the river
rises. The dam is in Lower Califor-
MIA. twenty miles below the boundary.
ana is built by the United States with
the approval of the Mexican authori-
ties. The purpose is to force the river
back into its channel

UNIFORMED
Consequent Anxiety Of Ii
mantour and Bdrfd
A MEETING IN NEW YORK
Ambassador Wilson Also
There Without Informa-
ton Concerning Purpose
of This Movement of u. S.
Troops-No Conjectures.

New York, March S.-The Mexican
ambassador to the United States. the
United States ambassador to Mexico.
the Mexican minister of finance and
the representative here Of the Mexican
insurrectos protested themselves I'M
| able to offer any explanation today
of the movement on the Texas Dor
der by the formidable United States
army. All alike are unwilling to be-
lieve that Intervention is imminent
Barra, the Mexican ambassador. is
CHEEKY. if baffled. Wilson is guarded
and reticent. Limantour, the Mexican
minister of finance, is terse and rath-
er sombre. He does not disguise his
uncertainty and anxiety over the fact
that the latest reports from Mexico
brought word that the people there
are restless and puzzled Madero. a
brother of the provisional insurgent
president, is voluble and excited.
Barra returned to Washington after
he was closeted with Limantour until
late tonight. At o'clock he gave the
newspaper men what he called lust
parenthesis," a brief interview, which
outlined the matters discussed at that
time.
AT o'clock" he said. | am going
back to Washington" but shortly aft
erward there arrived Cayteno Romero,
the Mexican consul general, hurrying
with a long dispatch in cipher, and
when O'Clock came the Mexican
minister did not depart, nor at 6, nor
:, or s. Limantour sent down word
that he was unable to grant an inter
view. He said that Barra did not
not know whether to spend the night
night here or not. In lieu of a prom
ised interview, he gave out through
his secretary a brief statement
NO representations had been made !
to the Mexican administration" ran
the statement, by either Great Brit |
ain or France, that they would in
tervene in our affairs unless property |
was better safeguarded, nor have /
there been any limitations that they |
would apply to the United States to |
intervene. | have heard again today |
that Diaz' health and appearance re- !
main wholly what they have been in /
the past-excellent"
Barra. i'm the afternoon interview,
said that there were three reasons
for believing that the explanations
given out at Washington should be
taken at their face value.
First" he explained, the relations
of the two countries have been most
cordial for years; second, the deal
ings between the two administrations
have been uniformly candid; third,
the insurrection in Chihuahua was
not important enough to justify any
such steps as some persons would
wish to infer. The so-called revolu-
ton has been confined to the state
Df Chihuahua. 1t began on Novem-
Der 90. At that time there had not
been one desertion from the federal
army on account of the invasion of
the rights of those arrested, not say
taken prisoner. There has not been

Those arrested had the right of cOun-
sci and justice in the federal courts
This is not revolution. There
may be what may be called a great
awakening among the middle classes
and a demand for greater activity in
the affairs of state. This awakening,
may say, is most convenient for the
interests of democracy" The ambas-
sador was not pressed for an expla-
nation of this phrase, and he cOntin-
ued:
This phase has continued, and dur
ing this evolution of popular intelli-
gence there has been no hostility
shown by the classes mentioned to the
government of Diaz."
Barra confirmed LimantourS dec
laration that the Mexican government
had heard of no official demand from
any quarter for Intervention. either
by the United States or any other
power. Neither he said, had there
been any protest against the SNUG
Cling of arms and ammunition across
the border by Americans.
Herein he differed from Limantour,
who in the morning said that the
smuggling of men and arms was con-
stantly going on; that this was not
right and had caused justifiable dis
satisfaction.
When did you first learn" Barra
was asked. that the American troops
force would be sent to the border ~
Not until yesterday afternoon he
answered
You didn't hear until yesterday

The ambassador hesitated and
smiled: Not officially" he replied
President Taft. he continued, had en-
trusted him with no message. and he
and Limantour has Just discussed the
situation" The United States, he said,
had always been fair to the insur-
rectOs.
Ambassador Wilson was asked about
the rumors that Diaz was on the
verge Of death. Il can only tell that
DiaZ is SO years old, but as far as |
know. his mind is still keen. When
he misinterprets a question his replies

The past week has witnessed quite a
change in the cattle market prices at
western markets, although conditions
here remain about the same as week
ago In the north, at river points in
general, cattle prices showed a very
weak undertone last week, Chicago
being from fifteen to twenty-five lower
on all kinds.
In Oklahoma City the short supply
and growing call from the packers
has, to certain extent, made this
market immune to the currents Of
northern points, where receipts last
week showed big increases. Best
prices here the past week were: Steers
$3.50; heifers, s5.S5; cows, $4.75; bulls.
$4.S5, and calves $7.75. Bullocks
weighing from 1000 to 1,1O0 lbs. have
brought without trouble five to five
and half cents. Anything with kill
will find good demand. On she stuff
the slaughter house interests have
maintained more than steady mar
ket. Bulls have been very scarce, as
have calves for which steady to strong
Iprices are being paid.
