NO. 173. $1000 REWARD FOR CAPTURE OF RAFFLES MANY LIVES THREATENED BY FLOODS Women and Children Marooned on Islands Conditions Near Capital Even Worse Than on Thursday Thousands of Acres of Various Crops Destroyed and All Kinds of Live Stock Are Suf. fering By Associated Press. SACRAMENTO, March 22.— 1n the rich agricultural districts down the river the people are still lighting With might and main to stem the rush of the waters of the Sacramento river, which threaten to ruin the whole inland country. ,The situation is even worse than on Thursday night, and reports from sev eral down-river towns indicate that if the water continues to rise as it has done during the past two days many more fine levee systems beside those mentioned in yesterday's report as hav ing given way before the flood will break and all flood records be sur passed. Further dispatches to the Union and the local weather bureau show that while the back water is falling that In the river it is still rising, and It Is probable that the crisis has not yet been reached. Many distressing scenes are being witnessed all along the lower stretches of the river. Men, women and children, to say nothing of horses, cattle and sheep, have taken to the levees for pro tection from the flood and are in pre carious positions. Condition Appalling So appalling is their condition that Governor Gillett has authorized Alden Anderson, president of the chamber of commerce, to dispatch a boat to the relief of those who are marooned on the islands and levees, and at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the swift river steamer Fruto will start on a mission of relief, bearing food and clothing to the stricken people and with an offer to bring all who may wish to this city, where they can be cared for until the water subsides and they may return to their homes. Reports from Courtland late this aft ernoon are to the effect that there are four new breaks in the levees between that place and Walnut Grove and that the whole district is being rapidly flooded. The water was rising over the top uf the levee at Andrus island, opposite Ryde, and Supervisor Thisby left this city on a river boat this afternoon in an effort to save his home, which Is right in line with the break. Fight to Prevent Break The water was runlng over the levees at the lower end of Grand island, opposite Islelon, and 150 men are hav ing the tight of their lives to prevent a serious break. As the Grand island levees are considered the strongest on the river the fact that they are in danger Of k<>lm>? out shows the situa tion to be alarming in the extreme. The water at liio Vista, according to reports received by Weather Ob server Scarr, is a foot higher than ever known before. The wator was running over the top of the levees on Brannun, Ryer and Sherman Islands, but they are still holding. The Wltchell and Sutter isl and levees are i>till standing, but the ciest of the flood had not reached them this afternoon and fear is expressed that they cannot hold out against the higher water to come. Tyler Island Submerged Tyler island is entirely submerged. Qreal tear Is expressed for districts 051 and 554, as the levees are holding back about all the water they can re sist and the ter Is still rising. At Courtlandt the water rose two Inches Thursday night ;..id the situa tion in that locality Is still strained. A i last reports Randall island levees were reported to be holding, but shaky. It t.s believed that this and the Pittlson districts can be saved. Across the river In Volo county the water has risen high over the Lisbon and Glide districts, where the levees broke early this morn ing. The two breaks on the Tarry ranch are each about 100 feet wide and are 100 feet apart. They were still widen inn al last reports and it was axpected that they -vould Join. There is a new break St Bryan's landing 250 feet wide and the whole country around Is rap idly rilling up.

Koehler, Fourth cavalry, U. S. A., cavalry com mander at tfolo, Philippine islands. Captain Koehler was charged with using disrespectful language in an ap peal from the action of General Wood, who reprimanded Captain Koehler for making charges npalnst Major Scott, commanding officer at the Jolo military post and civil governor of Jolo, and was charged with conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman in making un founded and malicious statements re garding his commanding officer, and with Insubordination.

PARIS, March 22.— The entire session today of the chamber of deputies was devoted to a discussion of alleged atrocities and tortures which, It is claimed, have caused a permanent mu tilation fn many cases, and even death to many soldiers serving In the dis ciplinary battalions in Africa. Pascal Cecil, Radical Socialist, and others demanded a commission of in quiry to allay the public anxiety on the subject. Replying, War Minister Plcquart de clared the reports from Africa were grossly exaggerated, and that much of the information concerning the battal ions emanated from unreliable sources. He declared that the only soldiers who were known to have bad charac ters before they recruited were drafted into the disciplinary battalion. He admitted, however, that In a few Instances the regulations had been over stepped and abuses committed, the authors of which would be subjected to an Investigation and eventually pun ished, and promised to suppress some of the more severo forms of discipline. The minister of war suggested the passage of the bill introduced by him self for the doing away with the dis ciplinary battalions in order that all opportunity for these severities would cease to exist. By a vote tho chamber rejected M. Cecil's demand tor a com mission of investigation. LOS ANGELES CITIZENS ARRIVE IN HONOLULU By Associated Press. HONOLULU, March 15 (via San Francisco;, March tl— The steumship Ohio, currying an excursion party of 246 people from Southern California, under the auspices of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, arrived here at 8 o'clock this morning from Hilo.

SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 23, 1907. THAW CASE NOW AT A STANDSTILL Justice Fitzgerald's Decision Eagerly Awaited Affidavits Furnished to Show Prisoner Is a Paranoiac Women of Defendant's Family Appear in Court — Jurymen Dismissed Until Wednesday Morning By Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 22.— The district attorney's office tonight made public several letters supposedly written by Harry K. Thaw and to which TMtsrlct Attorney Jerome had referred in court and had marked as state exhibits. These are expected to figure In the hearing of the lunacy commission If Judge Fitzgerald decides to appoint one. The letters have to do chiefly with the letters personal to Thaw and are of no special interest except as they may have a possible bearing on the state of mind of Stanford White's slayer. Affidavits have been handed In by the prosecution to show that Thaw Is a paranoiac who, although legally respon sible when he killed Stanford White, is not in a state of mental sanity, as he is unable to consult intelligently with his counsel, and should not be on trial for his life. The defense is preparing Its affidavits to the contrary, and the matter will come before the court Tuesday. Mean time the Jury is excused until Wednes day. Decision Problematical What the judge may decide regarding the appointment of a commission in lunacy is not known. Explanations by counsel took up most of today's ses sion Those were on the question of personal privilege raised by District At torney Jerome's conditional threat of calling counsel of record for the de fense to account before the appellate division for unprofessional conduct should it appear that he had knowledge of his client's alleged mental incapa city. Speaking on this point today Mr. Je orme referred to the tension under which he had been working, and denied any Intent to charge Mr. Hartridge, the Thaw counsel of record, with unprofes sional conduct. All of the women of the defendant's family were, awaiting him in the court room today when the proceedings opened. Evelyn Nesbltt Thaw, his wife, sat between Mrs. William Thaw and the countess of Yarmouth. The Jury, which had filed In at 11 o'clock, was instructed by the judge to return Wednesday, and left. It was arranged by Mr. Jerome and Mr. Hartridge that the defense's affi davits should be In the hands of the district attorney by 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. It was agreed that Mr. Je rome should be permitted to file addi tional matter on Monday. TRAIN WRECKED; NO ONE INJURED Chicago Limited Goes In the Ditch Near Plttsburg — Rails Found to Have Been Tampered With ly ABSociuted Press. PITTSBURO. March 22.— The Chicago Limited from New York to Chicago, on the Pennsylvania road, while golnt; about thirty-five miles an hour, wus wrecked at Stewart, seventeen mlltl east of here, today. The engine and the first of the cars were derailed, but no one wus hurt. The passengers were transferred to the thrill rear cars and brought to this city, where another train was made up and they continued their Journey. It Is said that evidence leading to the belief that the track has been tam pered with was found at the scene of the wreck. An Investigation by the railroad of flcluls showed that the tish plates had been removed at the rail joint, the bolts having been taken out and the rails bent Inward. A clawbar and several other tools, not property of the rail road company, were found nearby, and it la believed that these tools were "used by the wreckers. The train was derailed on a straight truck, and tci this was due, beyond a doubt, Hie escape of the passengers from serious injury. The officials attribute the work of the wreckers to either malloe or an attempt to loot. Uiu tralu and pumtouKeri*.

WASHINGTON, March 22.— Secretary Taft has reconsidered his original opin ion of March 7, relative to the eight hour law in Its application to employes on rivers and harbors works. Then he held that the law applied to every person connected with the work on dredges and steamers of various kinds, while now he is of the opinion that It affects only mechanics and la borers and does not change the present hours of work of enptatns, cooks, deck hands, pilots and the like. Therefore he has directed the following memoran dum to the chief of engineers: "I have received a communication from the heads of certain bridge work ers' union In reference to the applica tion of the eight-hour law to the dredg ing done directly by the government and under the control and supervision of the engineering bureau of this de partment. "I am also Informed that the attorney general has taken the position and that the attitude of the government In court. Is that the men engaged in dredging on the steam dredgers are within the ope ration of the law and should not work for more than one shift of eight hours a day. "I am also advaispd that this ques tion is pending in the supreme court from the decision of a Massachusetts federal court. Commissioner Nelll thinks that It is an inconsistent position for the government to have been work- Ing under a theory of the law at vari ance with which it has taken before the courts and which has been sustained by certain of the lower courts. "In this view I concur, and you are therefore directed to order all subordin ate officers having in charge work upon dredges to work all employes whose du ties are In effect those of mechanics and laborers but eight hours a day until tho supreme court shall otherwise decide. If It does so decide, with such exceptions as you may satisfy me are necessary to preserve the government property as it Is."

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.— 1t was stated today at the prosecuting attor ney's office that Patrick Calhoun, president of the United Railroads com pany, would upon his arrival here from New York be given an opportunity to appear before tho grand Jury in con nection with that body's Investigation of the alleged bribery of the board of supervisors in the matter of an over head trolley franchise granted the United Railroads last May. From the same source it was also learned that a number of secret In dictments, which have not even been trusted to the secret file for fear that their contents migh leak out, are pot all against one person, but are said to contain the names of several. To the Associated Press Abraham Ruef said today that he Is considering the preparation of a statement to the public and he declared that when he tells his story it will contain sensa tions equal to the disclosures made by the alleged confessions of the super visors. He expressed the opinion that the in vestigation now going on was in fur therance of an organized attempt to seize the municipal government, and asserted that it was "government by indictment" instead of "government by injunction." No Bench Warrants Issued The sixty-five charges of bribery against Ruef were today assigned by Presiding Judge Coffey to Judge Dunne's department of the superior court. They will be placed on the cal endar tomorrow and arraignment set for some day early next week. To avoid possible conflict between the chief of police or sheriff and Ellsor Biggy no bench warrants would be Is sued on these indictments. It may be the irony of fate that tho former residence of Mayor Schmitz, In which he resided when elected and often entertained and dined Ruef, where the mayor and the political boss laid many of their political campaign plans, may become Ruef's prison for some months. The present owner is attempting to rent It to Elisor Biggy as a place of detention for Ruef when he takes the latter away from the St. Francis hotel. The true reason for the determina tion of the prosecution to take no im mediate steps removing from office the supervisors was disclosed this after noon. District Attorney Langdon stated that In order to remove them it would be necessary to prove the charges made against them. Langdon Explains This would compel the prosecution to briii^ forward all ltH evidence ami thereby disclose Its entire hand before the trials of those who are or will be Indicted. Assistant District Attorney Heney declared that the mayor, having the appointive power, could fill the vacancies created by the removal of the supervisors with men on whom the in vestigators had no hold. To overcome this obstacle it would be necessary to first remove the mayor, and this Heney admitted the prosecu tion was in no position as yet to do. It also developed that the district at torney's office would run counter of the same law that defeated the attempt of Ruef and Acting Mayor Gallagher hist fall to remove District Attorney Lang don and apoint Kuef in his place, While summary proceedings oould Ie taken to remove the mayor, the Issu anoe of 8. writ of probable cause by Some Judge WOUld aol as a stay of pro ceedings during appeal and by resort ing to technicalities, the settling of the appeal might be delayed until the mayor's term of office had expired. No Indictments Expected The grand jury did not meet today, but will hold a short session tomorrow, at which time the investigation of the alleged telephone deal will be resumed. No Indictments are expected to be filled tomorrow. The same care and watchfulness that has marked the custody of Ruef will be exercised in guarding tho Jury against any possible outside in fiuences when his trial begins. Instead of a bailiff or the sheriff having charge of the Jury, Pistrlct Attorney Langdon stated today that the Jury will be placed In charge of Elisor W. J. Biggy. This Is said to be the first time in the legal history of the United States that an elisor has been appointed by a court to apprehend a defendant and given such power to keep him in custody dur ing trial. ■ Up to the present time the ordinary functions of an elisor have been per (I uuiluu.il oa t*ac« Two.) MYSTERIOUS MR. RAFFLES OF NEW YORK ARRIVES IN THE CITY OF ANGELS WILL DEFY BOTH POLICE AND POBIJC To Get $1000 Reward It Will Only Be Necessary for You to Identify This Marvelous Person, Who Will Mingle With People Every Day and Night IN an effort to demonstrate con clusively to the peolep of Los Ange les the absolute inefficiency of the present day method of criminal identi fication as practiced by the local police bureau of this city, the Los Angeles Herald, at an enormous expense, has succeeded in inducing George Harris Donohue, "the mysterious Mr. Raf fles," to invade Los Angeles and give a. practical demonstration of his re markable effort in this city. For the first time in his experience Raffles has consented to match wits with the clever sleuths of the. Pacific coast. During every presentation of his spectacular career In the east, George Harris Donohue has been con fronted with but the elementary elects of the real police business. Immediately following the initial pre sentation of the mysterious Mr. Raffles in the Evening World nearly three years ago the Los Angeles Herald en deavored to Induce George Harls Don ohue to visit this city and present his game before the readers of this news paper. At that time, however, Donohue had been taken in tow by the Star Pub lishing company, which incidentally at the present time is operating the Los Angeles Examiner, and was induced by David Carvahlo, the money man, to go to Chicago. Imitators Are Weaklings Since that time George Harris Dono hue has been imitated In this country on fifty-seven different occasions. Pe culiarly enough, however, no one who has attempted to reproduce any one part of the man of mystery's work has been able to reach the public in the manner which Raffles himself has at all times been able to do. In other words, in presenting the mysterious Mr. Raffles to the people of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Her ald takes the specific distinction of an nouncing the fact that it Is the only newspaper west of the Mississippi river to induce George Harris Donohue to carry out his spectacular game of hide and seek for the benefit of its readers. After having gone through New Or leans for a period of twenty days, dur ing which time he succeeded in intro ducing a humorous element of munici pal discord in the Crescent City, Raf fles Jumps into Los Angeles with a defl to any person who can Identify him after he has declared his intention of maintaining an incognito. Is a Man with Rare Nerve He is here today. He has looked this town over with the sagacity of a crim inal expert. He has declared to the management of this newspaper that It will be impossible for any member of the police department, any operative connected with any private detective bureau, or any man, woman or child inconversant with police business to capture him, and declares his capture impossible. The mysterious Mr. Raffles has his nerve with him. The Los Angeles Herald likes a man with nerve. The Los Angeles Herald, liking the mysterious Mr. Raffles, will offer a re ward of $1000 to the first man, woman or child in the city of Los Angeles who can identify this marvelous man of mystery immediately after his per sonal announcement of his official dls a| pearance. The game of the mysterious Mr. Raffles, in a nut shell, Is ho will talk to you, he will give you a chance In dividually to annex the reward of $1000 offered for his capture by this news paper and he will make the capture bo easy that every, man, woman and child in the city of Los Angeles will imme diately become enrolled on tho local detective bureau. Defies the Great "Bill" Watts Raffles has laughed nt Commissioner McAdoo in New York city; he had given "Tom" McQualde of Plttsburg the "merry ha ha"; Superintendent Potter of Philadelphia threw nineteen tits a minute, Chief of Police O'Neill of Chi cago went after this man with a ten sity of no distraction, Chief Inspector Watts of Boston had his fling with the usual "good day" by Raffles, and last but not least, one Inspector Whittaker of New Orleans, whom Raffles reduoed to an absolute nonenlty In his own town. In bringing George Harris Donohue the Los Angeles Herald Is actuated with a desire to int. k-rs and at the same time to Instruct in the faster methods of police work as is now being practiced in the east. When the Lob Angeles Herald Offers a reward of 31000 for the capture of the man, who is not at the present time wanted by the police, It must be taken right rapidly that this newspaper knows what it is doing. Oefles the Detectives In presenting George Harris Dono hue, the mysterious Mr. ttaftles, boforu the readers of this paper The I .>s Au geles Herald has thoroughly, invcatl PRICE: SINGLE COPY 5 CFNTS gated the record of this marvelous man of mystery, and in offering this reward this newspaper feels confident that as n educational factor alone we are supplying our readers with a feature worthy of intense consideration from the minute of this man's disappearance to the second of his capture. Raffles came into the office yester day afternoon after having looked over the city of Los Angeles in his cus tomary manner. In answer to a series of pointed questions as to the maintenance of a complete incognito, he said: "This town looks good to me. New York was difficult. Chicago was easy. Why? Because the town was so intense there was no answer to It. "I don't know much about your police here In Los Angeles, but I suppose they are about the same as In any other town. "You know I am an immune. The police all over the country tried to get me. If they offer $1000 for my capture in this city I discover right rapidly where there will be warm times be fore some one annexes that handy lit tle bankroll. "If the people of Los Angeles start after me they will have to go some. I have gone over the town and they all look pretty good to me, but— l am the mysterious Mr. Raffles." Is the Original Raffles The Los Angeles Herald in present ing the mysterious Mr. Raffles to its readers takes this opportunity of Im pressing thia one particular fact: We are not bringing before you an imi tator. On the inception of the first Raffles production in New York the San Fran cisco Bulletin attempted a duplication of the mysterious Mr. Raffles. That presentation met wth a limited suc cess and its liter reproduction In this city by another amateur was simply a farcical replica of ljonohue's work in Chicago and New York. Raffles, the man of mystery, declares his ability to thoroughly hoodwink every man, woman and child in this city. Can such a thing be possible? The cleverness of George Harris Donohue Is rdmitted. The Los Angeles Herald is satisfied it has many thousand clever -readers among Its subscribers. The Los Angeles Herald, while it appreciates the cleverness of Donohue the mysterious Mr. Eaffles, has just this one little bee In Its bonnet: That In Los Angeles Raffles will discover himself against a series of local amat eur detectives inimical to the success ful presentation of nis remarkable game. The Los A geles Herald, after a serious consideration of local condi tions and the close parallel between New York and this city, has come to the conclusion that It will be practi cally impossible to maintain a complete Incognito in this city longer than one day. Thinks the Police Are Easy "This one-day proposition makes mo laugh," said Raffles last night. "I could take the people of this town and make them all look like 30 cents. I don't know much about the police of this town, but they look pretty soft to me. If you like police work Just trail in and follow me for at least a day or two, and if any one of you people get me I will give you $1000." George Harris Donohue, after having had an opportunity of thoroughly siz ing up local conditions in this city, will tomorrow elucidate for the special edification of those Interested in mat ters pertaining to detective work in the Sunday Herald his Initial preamble covering the work he is about to do In this city. For Raffles to write his Is a remarkable effort. T mystery is comprehensive, : castle, volatile and at all t esting. He is there with t when a knock Is needed an clever enough to entertain, You Just listen to vs — re;i day Herald tomorrow and Raffles has to say to you. thousand dollars reward if y It's easy money to some of for the celebrated man of i THE DAY'S FORECAST For Southern California: Cloudy Saturday; brisk southwest winds.
