to Excitement Throughout
District
Special to The EMU.
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. s.—Ex
citement prevails in the Barstow sec

ether indications which show the pres
ence of oil.
Locations covering over 6000 acres
have already been made and a wide
territory is being tramped over by ex
perts.
That the prospects are bright for a
flowing well is the belief of many who
ore on the ground. Several small wells
have been sunk to a depth of fifteen
feet, and the increasing presenco of
oil In the gravel and sand has been
noted. It is believed that within a
depth of 500 feet an oil vein will bo en
countered.
Among the locators are J. B. Batz.
L. M. Gordan, George K. Squires and
S. C. C. Withers. Some of these men
have oil interests In the Kern river dis
trict, also in Beaumont, Tex. They
caution against excitement over the
Barstow rush, declaring that Whlla
they find good indications and are en
couraged to invest a little money in
testing the field, they would not
advise men without money to go in or
purchano stock of any company that
may be organized to float a stock

EDITOR BRANDS STATE
GOVERNMENT A DISGRACE
Chester H. Rowell Urges Stanford

' —___—.—
By Associate ■ Prcsi.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 5.—
Speaking before a university assembly
this morning, Chester H. Rowell, edi
tor of the Fresno Republican, bitterly
denounced the present state govern
ment and its connection with the South
ern Pacific machine.
"The legislative department of this
state is a roaring farce," said the
speaker, "only saved from tragedy by
Its utter helplessness. The executive
department is dictated to by the hired
servant of a foreign corporation. The
judicial department is now under sus
picion, and that suspicion Is Just.
Even our very sense of crime and in
nocence has given way to class feeling."
Mr. Rowell made a strong plea for
college men to get out Into politics and
tight existing conditions. Incidentally,
he said that unless Japanese immigra
tion was stopped the Pacific coast would
face a race problem far more serious
than that In the soy.th today.
DEATH ADDS TO HOODOO
AND COUNCIL IS SCARED
Bpeclal to Th» Herald.
SAN BEKNADINO, Feb. s.—When
death snuffed out the life of Council
man D. A. Grosvenor it led to one of
the most peculiar situations that ever
arose in a municipal political situation.
Mr. Grosvenor was one of the, new
councllmen, and a series of disasters
followed the administration under
which he entered office. One coun
cilman, within a few weeks after tak
ing his seat, became deathly 111 and for
months his life was in the balance. He
will resign. Another got "cold feet," it
Is said, and also resigned, and the death
of Grosvenor has seemed to mark the
administration as hoodooed. Therefore
a successor has been hard to find.
Though four or five citizens have con
sented to enter the race, each In turn
has seen the writing on the wall and for
superstitious reasons has withdrawn.

San Bernardino County Body Reports
Findings and Adjourns—Was
in Session Twenty.two
Days
Special to The Herald.
SAN ERNARDINO, Feb. 6.—Late to
day the grand Jury for 1907-8 completed
Its sessions, covering: twenty-two days
and costing the county $1036.30, exclu
sive of the cost of witnesses summoned.
It made its final report to the superior
court, and was discharged.
The report, though less volcanic than
some reports of ihe past, handled cer
tain township officers without gloves,
and found Justice of the Peace .Martin
and Constable A. P. Preciado, both of
the Victorville precinct, on the desert,
guilty of "gross negligence jof duty" and
recommended "their immediate dis
missal" by the supervisors.
This recommendation grows out of
sevoral sensational shooting affrays
lately occurring on the desert.
The recommendation Is made in the
list of general recommendations of the
report, which further draws attention
to the positions occupied by Dr. D. C.
Strong, who is county health officer
and superintendent of the county hos
pital, and who also practices medicine
outside of these two positions, which
the report declares makes it impossible
for him to properly fill the duties of
both public positions.
The report then demands the resig
nation of City Health Officer Hurley,
who Is made responsible for a serious
friction which exists between the city
and county health boards.
The report states that the inquisit
ors offer no criticism of Dr. Strong's
management of the county hospital, but
(•el constrained to criticise the action
of any county officer who, after he as
sumes office, engages in other duties
which consume a major part 1 of his
time.
The report praises the management
of the orphans' home, thereby giving
cold comfort to certain cliques of wo
men who have formed an organisation
with the avowed intention of unseating
the management. Other county officers
are also commended.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY
LIKELY TO CLASH

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 6.—The
possibility of hostilities between Rus
sia and Turkey as a result of the
boundary dispute between Turkey and
Persia, a situation that has caused the
dispatch of 6000 Russian troops in the
direction of the Turkish frontier, is
discussed by the Novoe Vremya today,
which professes to believe that the war
might easily come about.
The paper declares the present mo
ment most favorable for Turkey, in
asmuch as Russia is involved in interior
troubles, her army is disorganized and
the Turkish border is without fortifica
tions.

CAMPAIGN ON
FOR HARMONY
OCEAN PARK PEOPLE NOW OUT
FOR THE DOVE
PEACE SOUGHT BETWEEN TWO
FEUDAL FACTIONB
Kinney-Fraser War May Terminate if
Present Plan of Prominent Clti.
Zens Carries —New Solu

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, Feb. 5— Having as
its object the plan to make a final set
tlement of the factional war which
for several vcars past has been waged
here with bitter animosity, a move
ment has been started by several of
the most prominent local business
men for a harmony campaign.
When Abbot Kinney first founded
Venice, nearly four years ago, many
staunch friends rallied around him to
aid in his gigantic project. On the
other hand, he also had many enemies,
and they soon joined forces to fight
the Kinney faction. A. R. Fraser and
G. M. Jones were acknowledged lead
ers of the opposing faction, and both
sides in gathering strength became
more embittered.
With an election approaching, when
new trustees will be given the reign
of government, each side Is endeavor
ing to elect a ticket and incidentally
to gain control of the city's, manage
ment.
Several weeks ago the Kinney faction
framed a ticket and platform, both of
which are acknowledged by fair-mind
ed men of the city to be good; but the
fact that it Is a Kinney faction ticket
will bring out strong opposition.
Recently about fifty business men—
the greater number of whom are said
to be supporters of Fraser and Jones
met and formed a political club. The
spirit of the organization, It was
claimed, was for a "square deal." Nev
ertheless, the candidates for trustees
who will be selected to run on that
club's ticket will be strenuously op
posed, although not personally, for it
is reported that at least two of the
men likely to be slated were ap
proached and asked to run on the Kin
ney faction ticket at the time It was
framed.
Many Withhold Names
Many prominent local business men
have refused to allow their names to
be used in connection with the po
litical campaign and have refused to
accept a nomination for the trustee
ship, giving as their reason that they
do not. care to be mixed up in the nuid
slingtng politic*] combat which is even
now under way.
It is for the purpose of quelling this
political fight and establishing,
through compromise, a friendly rela
tion between the two factions that a
few of the moat prominent of the lo
cal business men are seeking to start
the "harmony campaign."
David Evans, a prominent capitalist,
made the following statement In re
gard to the situation:
"Harmony should be established at
all cost. Political wrangling threatens
now to do great harm to the city and
citizens. If a compromise cannot be
effected it is time for the men who
want fair play and a square deal to
organize and Btep In between the two
fighting factions, absorbing them as
far as possible and taking the affairs
of government out of their hands by
gaining a majority.
"If a compromise ticket can be ar
ranged and both sides will stand by
It, so much the better. I myself am
for the 'square deal." "
Concurs in Views
Dr. J. M. White, prominently Iden
tified with the clty"B interests, ex
pressed sentiments similar to those of
Mr. Evans. He said:
"The only way It will be possible to
establish friendly relations between
the two factions will be by the elec
tion of five fair-minded men, who, as
trustees, will serve with absolute im
partiality, favoring neither side and
doing what is right and square by
both.
"Such action on the part of the citi
zens would result In a benefit to the
city and would advance Its growth,
which has been retarded by the con
stant bickering of the two political
factions."
Frank Lawton, whose alleged per
sonal enmity toward Abbot Klnney is
said to have recently been openly ex
pressed, also states that he believes in
the "square deal" platform as a mu
nicipal benefit.
"The Interests of the citizens and the
city are at stake," he said, "and If a
harmony campaign can do good, then
the sooner started tho better it will
be for all."
While both Fraser and Jones, lead
ers of the antl-Klnney faction, were
out of the city, it was stated by a
personal friend and associate that both
would wish to be quoted as being; In
favor of the "harmony campaign;"
that It was to their interests as well
as to the Interest of all concerned.
