RAINMAKER IS JUBILANT
Hatfleld Pleased With Course Storm
Has Taken
I Charles . Hatfleld, the Inoffensive
cause of all the . deluge, spent the
greater part of the day yesterday en
throned like Jupiter In his rain making
tower in the Esperanza' hills. With the
appearance' of the storm Saturday
morning ■■ Hatfleld went to his tower
from the Esperanza sanitarium, where
he 'has been staying, and started his
observations.
,'" Yesterday morning, upon arising and
finding v the storm , still in progress,
Hatfleld climbed to the top of the hill
and 'spent the remainder jof the day
hurling ; his . clouds of rain down upon
the I already , drenched inhabitants of
Los Angeles and vicinity.- It had been
rumored at the opening of the season
that if Hatfleld fulfilled his promise of
giving 'eighteen inches of | rain during
the ; season ' the people would be very
grateful. They have changed their
opinions, and yesterday , afternoon
thousands of pedestrians were only too
I ready to cry quit.
Late yesterday afternoon Hatfleld '
took: a final measurement of the rain
fall at Esperanza since the start of thn
storm Saturday morning at 8:30 o'clock.
The : measurement registered throe
Inches and a half.'
- i'As a novelty in the rainmaktng busi

With the precipitation of this storm,
an average of about 22 inches for
Esptranza has been recorded, while an
average of from eighteen to nineteen
Inches has been recorded In all parts
of the Espernnaa valley, ' including
Pasadena and other cities.
"This precipitation should . raise the
record In and around Loa Angeles to
more than' fourteen inohes, and I am
confident that the 18-lnch murk will

WEATHER FORECASTER TALKS
Says There Is No Indication of the
Storm's Cessation
Oeorge E. Franklin, In charge of the
local weather bureau, could give only
local reports on the storm, owing to
the fact that the general reports are
not received on Sundays and holidays.
He nald last night:
"The present rain began Saturday
forenoon. The reports show that the
storm prev&Ued at the beginning In the
Colorado valley and _In Arizona and
moved northward, Joining a storm near
the northern coast. While no reports
were received today, It Is apparent
that the storm- has been moving south
ward ( with incseaslng energy, resulting
In ' heavy rain and high southwest
'winds.
"Today, localCy, brisk to high south
west winds have prevailed/- The maxi
mum velocity of the wind has been
thirty-six i miles per hour. That was
at about - the noon hour. During the
afternoon the velocity was twenty-flvo
to thirty miles per hour. The office
records show that the normal velocity
of j the wind in this section for the
month of March Is five miles per hour.
The highest velocity of the wind In
this county since the station was es
tablished in July, 1877, was forty-six
miles per»hour/ That was on March 12,
1881, and the wind was from the south
west. The greatest precipitation in
any month of March was 12.36 inches,
In 1884.
"This forenoon at 10 o'clock the dis
trict forecaster sent out a telegram
notifying all in charge of the display
stations on the southern' coast to hoist
southeast storm warnings. At th«>
time of sending the messages the storm
was at Its height at Point Concepclon.'
"There Is apparently .no Indication
of a cessation of the storm. The bar
ometer has been falling steadily since
10 a. m."
WINDSTORM ACCOMPANIED
BY RAIN AT SAN DIEGO
Wires Blown Down and Communica-
tion Almost Entirely Inter,
rupted
(Special to Th» Herald.
SAN DIEGO, March 12.— Late this
afternoon rain began to fall, preceded
by one of the most severe wind storms
that has visited ; this section of the
country for . years.' The rain was ac
companied by . thijnder and j lightning
and between 6 and 7 o'clock the pre
cipitation amounted to .65 of an Inch,'
bringing the seasonal fall to 11.30 in
ches as against 2.63t inches for the same
period last year. .';
I The wind storm was the worst that
has visited . here for a long time and
telegraph •< and . telephone wires were
put to the bad all over this southern
country. Communication with Los
Angeles by. telephone was interrupted
at 6 o'clock and the Postal wires went
out about the same time. On the line
of the railroad, the wires , went down
somewhere north of Encinitas and the
Western Union is the . only company
with communication out tonight.
VERY ROUGH AT SAN PEDRO
Ocean Roars Furiously, but Little
Damage Is Done
The elements were all at war *at San
Pedro yesterday. The wind blew fifty
miles an hour and great seas were
rolled mountain high against the rocks,
dashing into foam and spray, which
covered the breakwater, Headman's
island and the outer shores of Terminal.
The waves were washed completely
over the wall of rocks that protects the
channel and the inner harbor from th»
sea. and the fierce winds howled a dis
mal dirge through the rigging of j the
ships that lay along the wharves.
Early in the morning all the small
craft around Long Beach skurried for
shelter In San Pedro harbor, and yes •
sels lying in the stream were brougnt
to anchor alongside the docks. Row
boats and sailboats were hauled far
up on the beaches or taken to places of
safety in the Inner harbor.
The sea outside presented a magni
ficent sight, great white-crested billows
rolling shoreward In majestic phalanx,
to dash against the cliffs and fall
back, a huge blanket of spray upon
the next. •
At 10 o'clock the steamer Hermosa
left her dock and plowed her way
through the channel to the outer har
bor, past the breakwater and out Into
the open sea. She made slow headway
against the great seas and rolled and
tumbled about like a cprk. But- there
were no fears felt for her safety, an
she has weathered some heavy storms
and proved her seaworthiness. At
times those who watched her from th»
shore until she passed out of sight in
the mists could see her careen until her
propellers and part of her keel: were
exposed and the next minute she would
be way down In the trough of the sen,
almost lost to their view,
The partially dismantled bark Holllm
wood lay In the outer harbor, within
the shelter of the breakwater, tossing
and pitching on the waves, but en
tirely/sate from harm as long as her
anchors held.
The value of the new breakwater was
thoroughly tested yesterday, and . tin
answer Is < the fact > that no damage
to shipping In San Pedro worth men
tioning was reported. The outer har
bor* was somewhat rough, but- not
enough to cause any. damage or even
mueh.dlsagr«e(U>lene*» to shipping.
Steady ruin continued throughout

the flay and night. More than two
Inches ' fell. ■
Communication with Avalon by the
wireless telegraph Is entirely cut off
owing to the blowing down of the long
sixty-foot pole And gearing used In
casting messages through the Air to
the Island. The pole was split by the
force of the wind nnd snapped off
about twenty-five feet from the ground,
falling in a tangled mass At Palos
Verdea and Ninth street, where th«
operating station vls situated. The
wlren are crossed, both electric and
telephone, and the Edison Electric em
ployes are busy endeavoring to maks
repairs.
The steamer Hermosa returned to
port at 6:30 o'clock, having made a trip
to Avalon. and return without mishap.
STORM IS DISASTROUS
FOR LONG BEACH
Damage to the Amount of Ten Thou.
•and Dollars Caused by
Heavy Seas ,
Special to The Herald.
LONO BEACH, March 12.— Today's
storm was the most disastrous this
place has «ver known. Four launches
and about a dozen rowboats, aggregat
ing In worth about $10,000, were driven
ashore and completely destroyed. The
first boat to go was the launch Elsie,
owned by W. F. Pascbe. She broke
loose about 10 o'clock this morning.
When Mr. Pascoe heard of her plight
he put out In a small boat with his en
gineer, A. Cobb, to nave her.
When they got aboard her. she was in
the breakers and when they started
the engine it* was of no use.
The boat caught in the trough of
the waves and capsized. Pascoe and
Cobb dived Just before she went over.
The latter got clear and made his
ashore, but Pascoe j was struck by a
timber and rendered helpless. The
Long Beach life saving crew got him
out. He was badly injured about the
breast and may have internal Injuries.
The • Elsie went ashore and battered
to pieces in the sand. •
The rrext boat to go. was the launch
Twilight, owned by Elwin Herrman.
She broke . anchor and crashed into
the pier, snapping in two like a match.
The engines sank and the two ends of
the boat drifted to the beach. The
yacht Evangel, owned by I. McCreary,
then went ashore and was wrecked,
and about the same time a smaller
launch, the Victor, belonging to Roy
Stevens, went ashore and was battered
up close to where the Elsie went ashore.
The rowboats were going ashore all
the morning, and by afternoon the
beach in front of the bath house was
covered with wreckage.
The value of the launches Is given
'by their owners as follows: Twilight,
$2100; Elsie, $2500; Evangel, $2100; Vic
tor, $1000.
The pier weathered the storm well
except that the fish, markets suspended
beneath the wagon deck ' were swept
away; also the steps leading to them.
DAMAGE AT VENTURA
Storm Is Severest j Experienced 'There
Since Winter of 1884
VENTURA, March 12.— The most se
vere storm of rain and wind experi
enced here since the winter of 1884
commenced at 9 o'clock last night. A
high wind from ■■• the . southeast was
blowing and rain came ■ down at inter
vals throughout the night, giving | a
precipitation up to 7:30 o'clock this
morning of .85 of an inch. From that
time on the rainfall Increased until at
noon occurred the heaviest- downpour
since the flood of 1884.
Water came down from the hills in
such volume that nearly every culvert
In town is more or less damaged and
the damage to property will be quite
considerable. At the corner of Main
and Palm streets the situation was the
worst. The water rose so high that
mud and debris were carried over the
sidewalks and flowed into the large
dry ' goods and clothing store of the
Chaftee company. What is known as
the Ash street barranca got bo full
that the culvert at the intersection of
Main street was inadequate and t ho
water broke over into the street, 'carry
ing with it large quantities of debris.
Ash , street from Main became a
roaring torrent and crossings were car
ried toward the sea in the mad rush
of water. The precipitation up to 2
o'clock was over three inches.
The Ventura river Is higher than it
has been for many years. ;
, Fully twenty families living in the
extreme west end of town or the low
land were rescued this afternoon. No
loss of life has been reported but 'the
situation is grave. No trains have ar
rived . from the north today.
■ Shipping, will' undoubtedly be delayed
for several days. The condition of tha
sea is such that no steamers can land.
LAUNCH CHALLENGER
' IN PERIL BUTRESCUED
Taken Into Redondo by the Steamer
State of California
• REDONDO, March 12.— 8y reason of
the heavy sea prevailing at Port Loa
Angeles today the steamer State of
California, which left here for San
Francisco and way ports this morn
ing, was obliged to return to this port
this afternoon and land her passengers
here, which she did without the least
difficulty.
When about three miles from Re
dondo and near Port l>os Angeles the
Btate of California came across the
launch Challenger, owned by Han*
Carstensen of ; this place. The Chal
lenger was encountering a heavy sea
and had a disabled engine, and th.j
Btate of - California - brought her safo
Into this port.
Redondo port was protected from the
stiff southeaster prevalent today by
the point of land that puts out Into
the sea and which separates Redondo
from Ban Pedro. „ , -. „,
Trains on the Los Angeles and Ro
dondo railway, did not run on schedule
time, caused no doubt by. the follagi
of trees blowing agslnstltbe. wires and
seriously Interfering with the power.
On Grand avenue the water. was flow*

PASADENA IS LEFT -j" : ''M
IN PARTIAL DARKNESS
Several Electric Light Poles Are
Blown Over by the Storm
PASADENA, March 12.— The most
noticeable result tonight of the heavy
rainstorm which has lasted much of
the day and enrly evening Is the par
tial darkness of the city caused by the
electric light wires being blown down
near the power house soon after 8
o'clock. The heavy rnlna caused the
poles to become unsteady, and a sud
den gust of wind carled several over.
Candles, gas and lamps are In use In
many of the homes, while the Streets
were dark until 9 o'clock.
Since the beginning of the present
utorm yesterday noon three Inches of
rain has fallen, two and a half Inches
of the amount falling since 12 o'clock
today, making the total amount for
the season 18.88 Inches In this city. At
Esperanzn, where Charles Hatfleld has
his headquarters, 4.30 inches has fallen
since 8:30 yesterday morning and 3.90
Inches has fallen today. The Mt. Wil
son record up to 6 o'clock shows for
the season 33 Inches. J Mr. Hatfleld is
Jubilant over the fact that he predicted
so accurately this rnln, which has come
as he had hoped from the coast. The
heaviest rainfall , In the whole section
Is along the mountnins from Sierra
Hadre to La Crescenta, precisely In thj
region of Mr. Hatfleld's endeavor. He
Is confident of securing the full eighteen
Inches In Los Angeles by the first of
May. This storm, he predicts, will
continue through the night and tomor
row, showers occurring. A peculiarity
of the storm has been the brisk wind,
lightening and thunder, noticeable all
the afternoon and of unusual violence
in the mountains Just back of Esper
anza. Word from Echo mountain re
ports no damage of any consequence
done there, although there are many
small washouts. The top of Mt. Wil
son could not be reached by phone,
but at the foot it was said that more
water was running in Eaton's canyon
than in the last big storm. The Ar
royo Seco bed is running full and the
noise of the boulders and water can be
heard in the western part of town.
So. much work has been done upon
the city streets since the January
freshet preparing for storm water that
little serious damage was done. Street
Superintendent C. C. Brown was ou,t
all day looking after critical points. All
over town the wind blew over trees
from the loosened earth, tore awnings
and rattled windows. Many ripe
oranges were 'blown from the trees,
although the damage was not enough
to be serious. Orange picking will be
delayed a week probably. During the
first heavy rain between 11 and 12
o'clock electric lights had to be lighted
in many of the churches.
DELAYS HOLLYWOOD TRAFFIC
Telephone and Telegraph Poles Are
Washed Out by Storm
HOLLYWOOD, March 12.— At Holly
wood, following the storm yesterday a
thick coating 'of mud and dirt from
the hills coated the streets and boule
vards and made' traveling difficult and
dangerous.
The precipitation was heavy and for
a time the cars were compelled to stop
because of the fierce rain ' and wind.
Wires, both telegraph and telephone,
were in many cases torn down and the
poles washed away. .
A heavy drainage came down across
Prospect boulevard from the higher
ground later In the evening, flooding
the car tracks and overflowing th«
walks. With this flood came the muu
and a sticky covering formed across
the tracks of the car line, cutting oft
the service. The car service was re
sumed at a late hour last night.
NARROW ESCAPES
FOR PEDESTRIANS
Heavy Boulders Loosened by Rains
Are Dangerous
GARVANZA, March 12. — Heavy rocks
and boulders carried from the water
shed of the hills In the neighborhood
of Garvanza during the storm yester
day caused considerable Inconvenience
to the car. lines.
The preceding rain washed out small
sections of the tracks and , tore down
many telegraph and | telephone poles,
but no material damage was reported
from the residents and merchants of
the city. %
Several narrow escapes were report
ed by pedestrians who passed too near
the base of the hills and were targets
for the bounding boulders.
WOMAN BOWED TO CROWD
Feminine Pedestrian Undaunted by
Attention of Theater Patrons
After the matinee production at the
Burbank ] theater yesterday and while
the rain was coming, down in torrents,
a young woman attempted to cross the
flooded street In view of several hun
dred spectators. A rivulet several feet'
wide and nearly a foot deep ran be
tween her and the curb stone.
When she hesitated the crowd Jeered
and, then with a toss of her head slia
gathered up her Bklrts and waded. But
alas, as she made a final leap for the
curbing she slipped and fell.
After struggling to her feet as! best
she could the young woman turned and
bowed serenely to the Interested spec

Ih received that the inhabitants', are
enthusiastic in their support of the
measure. Anything, they say,.' for a
railroad to Los Angeles, which will
give them an opportunity to open up
and develop the wonderful resources of
their country.
"There la a vast area of country to
be opened In portions of California and
southern Nevada, which can only be
done by the building of a railroad," said
a prominent local busines » man yes
terday, who recently retu ned from a
visit to Inyo county, golm by way of
San Francisco and Rerto, hen cutting
through the Nevada mil ng district
and down through Owen's valley. ■
Trade Will Come (ere
"There is no reason why ,os Angeles
should not enjoy all t c . trade of
Owen's valley and the wh e,of south

a great wonder that the 1 , eople have
not awakened to a realizi ion of this
fact -long before now. <} '* en's ■ vafley

freight rates charged by le narrow
gauge railroad development s retarded.

"The facilities of this ro i are very
poor, and there is but om train each

of Bishop, which has a population ': of
only about 1500 or 2000 anl is situated
several miles away from the railroad,
it is said the freight receipts forgone

NEW YORK, March 12.— Even Uncle
Sam is not immune from the epidemic
of thieving prevalent in Greater .. New
York. The germ has forced Its way
Into Fort Hamilton, and the military
authorities are seeking to recover about
$6000 worth of uniforms, boots, caps,
blankets, guns, gloves and other equip
ments stolen from the storehouse,
Search -is being made for a ) private
whose duty, it was to guard i the store
house and who 1 is, said, to have disap
peared. Provost guards have been or
dered to search for missing; property In
Manhattan and Brooklyn. A..consid
erable quantity has . been recovered
from a saloon . and ■ cafes In Bath
Beach. <,'.-•■
The wholesale robbery was revealed
a short time ago when Lieut. Mitch
ell, placed In command of the q'uvter
master's j department, took" an Invent
tory. .Col. George C. Greenougs , In
vestigated and sent provost guards
under a sergeant qr corporal to Bath
Beach saloons and dance halls. Up to
yesterday • fifteen ■' places had ■ been
raided by the soldiers. I
The first raid was on a Fort Hamil
ton saloon, the proprietor of which was
placed, under guard while the soldiers
worked. Two truckloads of goods were
"recovered. In another saloon , the
soldiers had to smash two doors before
reaching | rooms stocked with Uncle
Sam's property.
Recipients of the stolen property are
believed to have made lurge profits,. as
the thieves .are thought to have. sold
the goods, cheaply. Scores of pairs of
muskrat skin ■ gloves, valued at : $3.2$ a
pair, were among the stolen >' goods. .

WILL RECOGNIZE
NEGRO CITIZENS
, WASHINTON.G March 12.—The-ap
pointment of a negro. to office In New
York city is only part of a plan of ,tho
president to give the negro the same
political recognition in the north as\h«s
has received In the south, looking upon'
him simply as a taxpayer and citizen.
. .In speaking of the proposal to appoint
Charles W. Anderson collector of > In
ternal revenue In New York city, Sen
ator Depew Bald: '.'", '.,r
1 i "The president, spoke to me about the 4 :.
appointment of Mr. Anderson. He told
me of his intention to Inaugurate the
policy of giving a share of the federal*)
offices to : representative negroes , with- ! i
out regard ; to the section of the coun-J,
try In ' which . they lived. , He ■ would';'
base the selection 'of negroes on "; the ■'„
proportion I they hold: In various local!-' I
ties to the total poulatlon. In outlln- _
ing his views, the president mentioned* j
Mr. Anderson's name and said he had
been considering the advisability r
making him collector of Internal rev- '."
enue at New, York. '■ ; % "''
"I ' gave my approval to the, presl-; . '■
dent's policy and agreed with his opln- U
lon .that the 'negro is entitled : to ' his .^'
chare of recognition In the distribution
of public places. I did not specifically-.'
Indorse 'Mr. Anderson, although: say- '
Ing that so far as I knew there was no ,
objection to him." 1 .. . „' .;■■'
It is the general belief of New ■York;,
politicians here that Mr. Anderson 'will 1'
be selected for the office of collector fbf,|
