STREETS OF CITY
LIKE M1LLRACE
Flood in Stockton Suspends
All Business and Maroons
Residents.
MANY MAY BE DROWNED
Kallroad Tracks Twisted Out of
Shape, Gas Mains Full of Water,
and Telephone System Crip
pled for Many Miles.
STOCKTON". Cal.. March 30 Water is
running through the streets of 'this city
like a millraee. In s6Tne places It is six
feet deep, while In others It varies from
one to three feet, the latter being the
mean average. Ail business is suspend
ed, as most of the business houses are
flooded and the people in many parts of
the city are afraid to leave their homes.
'No portion of the town escaped. Main,
the principal business street of the city,
la the high point, and even here the
water averages nearly a foot In depth.
All the cellars and many of the ' first
floors of the business houses were sub
merged and the loss in the city alone will
run into hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. Danger of Another Storm.
The flood started at about 3 o'clock:
yesterday afternoon and the highest
point was reached at midnight. Since
that hour It has receded slightly, and it
is believed the worst is over. The sky is
still overcast with occasional showers,
and should another storm break at this
time conditions will be more serious.
While the best-resifiental portion of the
nity is under water, few of the houses
have been Immersed as high as the first
floor and In most cases they are several
feet above the street level. Railroad and
streetcar traffic Is at t standstill. The
telephone system is badly crippled. All
the. long distance lines are out of commis
sion, thereby cutting off all news from
outlying districts, the country for many
miles on all sides of Stockton being in
undated. Most of the gaa mains are full
of water and the gas supply is sus
pended. Flood Demolishes Railroads.
The Southern Pacific Railroad tracks
running through the city from north to
south were caught broadside and the
roadbed and rails have been twisted out
of shape by the force of the flood. It
will require many days to put the track
In nnriitlnn fnr trnffif pvpn nfter the
water subsides. The Santa Fe Railroad
fared no better and no railroad commun
ication will be had with the outside world
for at least a week.
It is feared that In the southwestern
part of- the city, which Is low. and the
residence section of many laboring men
nf the poorer classes, many have been
drowned. The police patrol took some
residents out last night and the Court
house Building was a place of refuge for
dorms. The water is receding today,
though slowly. It is feared. however,
that additional heavy rains in the moun
tains will send another freshet down and
more high water is looked for.
MANY TRAIN'S ARB STALLED
Flood Conditions Still Prevail in
Valley Blocking Traffic.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 30. While the
headwaters of the Sacramento and San
Joaquin rivers are falling, flood condi
tions still prevail In the valleys. Many
trains are being held here and at other
terminal points. The Southern Pacific
line east was cleared early this morning,
when the washout at Floriston had been
repaired, and at 10 o'clock the first of the
belated overland trains arrived at Sac
ramento. There are a. dozen stranded passenger
trains' at this place. It is stated at rail
road headquarters that it is not probable
that any trains will go through the Sis
kiyou Mountains for several days. The
Portland line is open from San Francisco
to Red Bluff.
First Death at Reno. -
RENO. New. March 30. The first death
as a result of the floods here was report
ed this afternoon, when Willie Phillips,
one of the most prominent citizens of
Reno, attempted to rescue- John Kelly,
who had been marooned on an island In
the Truckee. Phillips succeeded in get.
ting a cable across the-river and tried to
.cross in a small boat. The strong current
tore his grasp from the cable and suction
pulled the boat beneath the waters.
ROADBED TORN IP BY SLIDE
Traffic Impossible for Two Weeks
on Southern Pacific.
' ASHLAND. Or.. March 20 (Special.)
The continued rains of the past four days
have badly demoralized the main Port-tland-San
Francisco line of the Southern
Pacific for . a distance of 50 miles through
the upper Sacramento canyon region in
northern California. The country most
severely affected lies between Sisson on
the north and Redding on the south.
.'Jn , this section the Sacramento River
hS- " played havoc with the railroad
,roadhel at various points, while at other
places slides of serious proportions have
added to the difficulties with which the
track department Is contending. It Is
predicted . tonight that through traffic
may not be resumed for two weeks.
' At Cantara. a few miles south of the
Weed road Junction, a big slide blocks
the railroad and from that point south
ward there are several serious obstruc
tions. One of the worst is at Castella,
seven miles south of Dunsmulr. where
the river has washed a channel 20 feet
deep and carried away the roadbed for
a distance of nearly 400 feet. A freight
train last night ran into a washout near
Sims and "the locomotive was hurled into
the water, burying the fireman. G. H.
Olmstead. beneath it in the bed of the
river. The engineer. James Dickey, es
caped with severe injuries.
Traffic has not been obstructed north
or Sisson or on the Siskiyou mountains.
A stub passenger train service has been
Started between Sisson and Ashland, to
connect with service from here northward
.in Oregon lines. The passenger train ar
riving here from the north this evening
m T:.T0 o'clock left Portland last night,
but was delayed by the difficulty at the
Winchester bridge, north of Roseburg.
The stub train from Sisson is held In the
yards at Ashland tonight.
Three Inches of rain has fallen at Ash
land during the storm- up to this time
and it Is still raining here at Dunsmulr.
All streams in this section are flooded
but no serious damage has yet been reported.
Passaic River Floods Taterson.
I NEW YORK, March 20. Karly today
lie Passaic River at Paterson. N. J..
las within four feet of the floors of
h bridges, and till rising. Many oi
the residents on both sides of the river
remained up all night. The only dam
age thus far has been to cellars, store
houses and the basement floors of the
mills along the river.
FRIGHTFUL TRIP OF TRAIN
Passengers Tell of Journey Through
Flooded District.
Scenes that parallel spectacular train
wrecks sometimes put on the stage in
melodrama were witnessed by passengers
on train No. 16, which arrived at the
Union Depot last night at 9 o'clock. This
was the last train to get -through the
storm district in California and people on
board tell harrowing tales of narrow es
capes from destruction.
Many times It. seemed that the train
would be swallowed up In some flooded
stream and the lives of the passengers
sacrificed. Landslides threatened to sweep
the cars from the tracks and hurl them
into some deep canyon.
At one time a huge boulder rolled
down a mountain .side 'and knocked the
pilot from the loco'motlve. Shortly there
after, a section of track that had just
been .crossed in safety, was torn out by
the water and as the passengers watched,
the track collapsed.
Walter Bowen, of Seattle, a passenger
on this train, says he hopes to escape
such experiences in future. For miles; he
said, in the Sacramento Valley, the train
ran over tracks covered with water. The
engineer ran slowty. feeling his way, and
came through the floods in safety. .Near
Shasta Springs. Mr. Bowen says the sen
sational loss of the cowcatcher occurred
and soon after a slide came down on
the track 'just as the locomotive reaehed
the spot. The train plunged into the
loose earth, but was stopped within a
short distance and no damage was done.
Mr. Bowen witnessed the washing away
of the track at one point soon after the
train crossed. He considers it miraculous
that a wreck did not occur. .
Overland trains 13 and 15, due to leave
the Union Station yesterday at 7:45 and
11:30 P. M., were annuled. as had been
No. 14, due to reach here at 11:30 last
night. Two trains arrived In last night,
one at 8:30 and the other at 9, bringing
belated California passengers. It Is not
expected that any overland trains will get
away today, although No. 11 will leave
and will proceed to Sisson, Cal. It is not
known if it can pass that point. The
Cottage Grove "train and possibly one
train from Sisson will come in this afternoon.
Y DODGE DEATH
STRIKERS BUNCO COURT
Rook pile Prisoners Obtain Square
Meal Vnder False Pretenses. '
Notwithstanding the fact that they
are still on strike and accordingly on
a diet of bread and water, the county
rockpile prisoners enjoyed a banquet
yesterday morning. By resorting to
strategy they were able to fill their
empty stomachs and thus prolong the
strike. To accomplish this end the
prisoners pretended to shield to the de
mand of the County Court that they
work more than eight hours a day.
They said they were tired of the strike
and wished to break rock again.
The glad news Quickly spread to the
cookhouse and a big dinner was imme
diately prepared. Good things in
abundance were heaped on the tables
and the prisoners sat down and ate
as they had never eaten before. And
then they said they had no intention
of working. All silently withdrew to
their quarters and resumed telling
stories and playing games to pass
away the weary hours of imprison
ment. The County Court learned of these
facts a few hours later and at once
arranged to prevent a repetition of this
trick. The guards at the rockpile
were Instructed to Issue rations here
after only after a hard day's work.
The strikers not only must yield, but
must demonstrate their willingness to
work. In the meantime bread and
water will be their diet. Up to last
nfelit the strikers were still holding
out.

WAGE SCALE LEADS C3cNTRY
Advance Places Oregon City Paper
Mills at Head.
OREGON CITY, Or., March (Spe
cial.) Both the Willamette Pulp and
Paper Company and the Crown-Columbia
Pulp and Paper Company today an
nounced an advance of 20 cents a day to
apply to all men In their employ, who
did not profit by the raise that was made
March 11. At that time all the men who
were earning 12 a day, received an in
crease of 30 per cent, and it was an
nounced that others would be raised
later.
This Increase in wages means an ad
ditional expense to the mills of about
$40,000, and places the Oregon City mills
at the head of all the paper mills in the
country in wage scale. Wages here are
from 30 to 40 per cent higher than in
the paper mills of the East. The first
raise was brought about by threats of a
strike among the men employes, but there
are no complaints of late from the dis
satisfied ones.

who, he believed, was insane in the eyes
of the law because he could not com
municate intelligently with counsel. As
to the charge of unprofessional conduct,
he had heard It for the first time today.
He further said that the defense had
called to the stand Dr. Hamilton, the
man whom the District Attorney be
lieved to know more about the case than
anybody else, and was proceeding to
interrogate ' him when the District At
torney objected.
Hamilton Sustains Jerome.
Here Mr. Gleason took up the discus
sion. He rejected the District Attorney's
assertion that Thaw was unable to ad
vise his counsel and declared it was the
duty of the court to submit that question
to the jury.
"The court will determine its duty for
itself," replied Justice Fitzgerald.
Mr. Gleason next demanded, before the
proceedings went further, that Dr. Ham
ilton be interrogated as to whether or
not he thought Thaw capable of advising
his counsel. Justice Fitzgerald allowed
the question and the witness replied that
he did not think Thaw was capable of
advising his counsel at present:
Must Produce AH Evidence.
Justice Fitzgerald demanded that coun
sel on both sides submit to him tomor
row all the evidence they possessed on
the sanity or insanity of the defendant.
If the defense did not desire to do this,
he said,' he could not compel It and
would have to proceed without such evi
dence from them to combat that to be
offered by the District Attorney. Justice
Fitzgerald even went so far as to dis
cuss the personnel of a possible commis
sion in lunacy. He said he did not wish
to appoint any alienist who had been
consulted in the case by either side, and
desired to be given the name of every
doctor for consideration. It was agreed
that both sides should submit affidavits
tomorrow. ,
When Thaw reached his cell in the
Tombs, he began to write at a furious
pace, saying it would be his statement
to be submitted to the court tomorrow.
DOWN TO QUESTION OF LUNACY
Trial Abruptly Suspended After Ex
citing Legal Argument.
NEW YpRK, March 20. The trial ot
Harry K. Thaw opened today with a de
cided surprise. D. M. Delmas, for the de
fense, withdrew the offer of the letter
which he wanted to put in evidence yes
terday afternoon, written by Harry
Thaw -to J. Denniston Lyon, a banker of
Pittsburg.
Following this, Mr. Delmas turned to
the clerk and said:
"Call Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton."
Dr. Hamilton is the alienist who has
been under subpena by both the defense
and the prosecution at various stages of
the trial. Dr. Hamilton has stated the
belief that not only was Thaw insane
when he shot White, but has remained
so. He does not appear as an employe
of either the state or the defense, but
has held himself ready to take the stand
at any time, and give impartially the re
sults of his examinations. At the time of
the tragedy he was engaged as an ex
pert for the defense, but when Judge CH
cott lef-t the case , Dr. Hamilton also
withdrew.
Dr. Hamilton said that with other alien
ists he had seen Thaw soon after his in
carceration. "Was there any examination at that
time?" asked Mr. Delmas.
"There was a medical examination as
far as it went."
"What was that examination?"
Mr. Jerome objected at once.
Willing to Reopen Whole Case.
"This Is a reopening of the whole case,"
he argued. "Dr. Hamilton's evidence be
longs In the case in chief and not in re
buttal." "The District Attorney," replied Mr.
Delmas, "has on several occasions called
your honor's attention to the fact that he
Is a quasi-judicial officer. He has no
right to come here now and attempt to
shut out the truth in "
"That is not so," broke in Jerome. "If
the objection is made on that ground, I
will withdraw my objection. I am will
ing to reopen the whole case and let all
the truth come out on cross-examination.
But if it is the purpose to bring out only
part of the truth, I shall certainly ob
ject." "I have no conditions to make with the
District Attorney," said Mr. Delmas.
"Then it is you who do not want the
truth to come out," said Mr. Jerome.
Mr. Delmns went on to argue that the
District Attorney had himself subpenaed
Dr. Hamilton.
"Certainly I did," said the District
Attorney. "I have subpenaed Mrs.
Thaw and a dozen more witnesses,
whom I have not called."
Mr. Delmas insisted that Mr. Jerome
had definitely promised to call Dr. Hamil
ton, and had failed to do so.
Mr. Delmas called attention to the
fact that James Clinch Smith was al
lowed to .estify as a matter of dis
cretion after the prosecution had closed
its case in chief.
W ants to Get Whole Truth.
Mr. Jerome declared .counsel had
made many unjust and unfair insin
uations against him.
"I offered to waive alt objections to
Dr. Hamilton's testifying so long as he
was allowed to tell an. But I wanted
the stipulation that the District Attor
ney must not be stopped on cross-examination
from getting at the truth
of the story. The learned counsel from
the Pacific Slope offered to throw open
the doors at the beginning of the trial,
but when I put the photographer on
the ttand to fix dates by which I could,
prove an alibi for Stanford White, the
doors were shut tight."
Mr. Delmas repeated his arguments, and
after he had finished Justice Fitzgerald
said: -'
"This is not a discretionary matter
On the record in this case, I must rule
according to the law. The objection is
sustained."
Mr. Delmas offered to state, as a mat
ter of discretion, what he intended to
prove by Dr. Hamilton.
Mr. Jerome again objected. but Justice
Fitzgerald instructed Mr. Delmas that he
might state in general what he wished
to prove, but he might not go into facts.

"Now, your honor," said Mr. Delmas, "I
appeal to your discretion "
"I have already said' interrupted Jus
tice Fitzgerald, "that I have absolutely
no discretion upon the record of this case.
I must rule according to law."
Mr. Delmas said that as Justice Fitz
gerald had ruled on only one question put
to the witness, he would proceed to ask
others, and did so.
Hamilton's Evidence Blocked.
t
"How many visits did you make to the
defendant?" asked Mr. Delmas.
Dr. Hamilton said he had visited Thaw
four times, on June 27 and 2S and July
7 and 8.
'In your opinion," asked Mr. Delmas.
"in view of the knowledge you acquired
as to the mental condition of Thaw from
the four visits you made to hin did he
know the act set forth In the indictment
was wrong?"
Mr. Jerome's objection was sustained.
Mr. Delmas repeated the question in
various forms. He was met each time
with an objection of Mr. Jerome, which
Justice Fitzgerald invariably sustained.
Mr. Delmas 'said that Mr. Jerome had
repeatedly stated in court that if h& were
honestly convinced that Thaw vras in
sane when he killed "White he would not
take up the time of the court in trying
him.
"We propose now by your own wi t
ness,'; said Mr. Delmas, "to honestly con
vince you that' Thaw was insane.''
Says Thaw Is Paranoiac.
At this point Justice Fitzgerald said he
thought the jury should retire. It did so
and Mr. Jerome began an impassioned
address to the court in an effort to show
what his offer to withdraw his objections
and allow Dr. Hamilton to testify was
based on. He said:
Tour Honor knowa what my position has
been here all along:. We have no ripht to
be here trying this man if the real facts
are known. Your honor knows that I have
tried ever since this case opened to bring
out these facts, and that I have not been
able to do mo.
If the real facts as to the mental condi
tion of this defendant can be brought out,
the court would be chocked and horrified and
would stop this trial instanter. So deeply
have I been Impressed with all -this that I
have served notice upon the attorney of rec
ord that, when this caee is over. If I am con
vinced that they -possess facts that I believe
they possess, I will lay Ihe matter before the
appellate division of the Supreme Court.
There is not a man who has seen th-la de
fendant sitting" there at the table who be
lieves he is capable of advising counsel. We
are today trying & man who is Insane, while
under the law he is sane. He is a paranoalc,
and. while he is insane, he is not dnsane in
the eyes of the Jaw, for, strictly speaking,
he knows the nature and-quality of his acts.
A man named Taylor went to death under
exactly similar conditions. The Appellate
Court said he was Insane, but he was para
noiac, and, while his act was committed as the
result of a delusion, this delusion was not
such as would have made his act justifiable
had It been true. It was one of the most
gruesome acts that have ever been.
In five minutes' time I can show you that
this man Is incapable of advising: his counsel
as he eit here In court. I will present facts
which wiill prevent this trial from going; fur
ther. Judge Demands All Evidence.
"In view of the statement made by
the District Attorney," said Justice
Fitzgerald. "I now ask that I be given
all the information in the possession
of ei titer counsel all the evidence as
to the defendant's present state of
mind which can be presented to the
court. I do this before Instituting
the proceedings I understand have
been asked for."
Mr. Delmas wanted to know Jf a
commission in lunacy was under dis
cussion. "The court is asked to hear
testimony while the jury is out of
the room and to determine Its course,"
said Justice Fitzgerald.
"All of my experts. Dr. Bingaman,
the family physician, and Dr. Deemar.
the physician to the Copley family,
have informed me," said Mr. Jerome,
"that this man is suffering from para
noia. This paranoia is characterized
by systematized delusions. "While suf
fering from one of these insane delu
sions, this man shot and killed Stan
ford White."
"Did your own experts tell, you
that?" inquired Justice Fitzgerald of
Mr. Jerome.
"They certainly did.' replied Mr. Je
rome, "but from the record ' of the
case I was prevented from bringing it
out. There is heredity in this man
which he .cannot avoid."
Oppose Lunacy Commission. '
Mr. Delmas again inquired if a
commission in lunacy had been applied
for.
"I so understand it' said Justice
Fitzgerald.
"If the court shall so decide, we are
prepared to combat that application,"
said Mr. Delmas.
"I have made no formal application,"
explained Mr. Jerome. "I submit to
your honor the fact that, as he sits
thftre, the defendant is incapable of
directing his defense. I leave tho
matter entirely to the court."
Mr. Delmas declared Mr. Jerome's
charges were entirely unsupported. He
said he understood Mr. Jerome to im
ply unprofessional conduct upon the
part of the defense in suppressing tes
timony. Mr. Gleason here asked to be heard
in behalf of the defense.
"I desire to say," said Mr. Gleason,
"that, when this case began, I at
tempted to Introduce evidence upon the
very point which the District Attorney
now demands, but it was ruled out on
his own objection."
"I remember," said Justice Fitzger
ald, "ruling out such testimony upon
the ground that it was in relation to
collateral lines."
"We have made -a perfect defense
here," continued Mr. Gleason, "and it is
the duty of the court to submit that
defense to the jury."
"The court does not need Instruc
tions as to its duty, interrupted Jus
tice Fitzgerald. "All I want is all of
the Information I can get on this sub
ject" All Lawyers Talk at Once.
For a moment all the lawyers were
talking excitedly at once. Finally Mr.
Jerome made himself heard, saying:
"The court has asked for all the
facts I have in my possession and I
will willingly furnish thera. I will
give them In the form of an affidavit.
I will also furnish the arfldavit of Drs.
Mabon and McDonald and, if his pro
fessional privilege itt waived, T will
have an affidavit from Dr. Hamilton."
At this point Mr. Gleason again broke
in, saving: "I wish before this court ad
journs to ask one question of Dr. Ham
ilton." Turning to Mr. Jerome, he con
tinued: "No man can come Into this court
and accuse me of unprofessional conduct.
I have practiced In hls country for 28
years and no such charges have ever be
fore been made against me."
"Go ahead." Bald Justice Fitzgerald.
"Ask him all the questions you want to."
"Dr. Hamilton," said Mr. Gleason, "in
your opinion, is this defendant incapa
ble of advising counsel V
T think he is." replied the alienist,
"because of his mental condition."
"Did you not tell me recently that he
was capable of doing so?" asked Mr.
Gleason.
"I don't think so," replied the witness.
Says Tliaw Is Capable of Directing.
Then another argument followed, all
the attorneys gathering in an excited
group in front of the Judge's bench. At
the -end of the argument. Mr. Jerome said
to the court that, when he had stated
that there was a part of the case to
which he would call the attention of the
appellate division of the Supreme Court,
he did not mean to charge any of the at
torneys of the defense with unprofession
al conduct.
"I want to state here to the court,"
broke in Mr. Gleason, "that I believe
this defendant perfectly capable of in
structing his attorneys, and I know that
all qf his counsel think the same thing."
"I will be glad to have any affidavits
along those lines which you care to pre
pare," said Justice Fitzgerald.
. Mr. Jerome then stated that he. would
be able to have his affidavits ready by
tomorrow afternoon and asked the court
to adjourn the hearing until that time.
All of the attorneys for the defense
agreed. The jury, which had been sent
out when tho discussion in favor of a
commission began, was called back and
excused until Friday morning.
Mr. Jerome asked that the hearing go
over until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Justice Fitzgerald was willing, but in
sisted on having the consent of each one
of the defendant's counsel. All a greed

Don't you believe that the doctor who devotes
his entire time to certain ailments to-1 the ex
clusion of all others should know a little more
about them than trie doctor who attempts to
treat everything? Of course you do. Tou know
that a man who writes sift'ns can do It better
than the man who paintc houses. Tie man who shoes
horses exclusively will turn out better work In his
line than the general blacksmith. It stands to rea
son, therefore, that a doctor who has spent his life
in the faithful study and treatment of diseases of
men is qualified to cope with their ailments. . You
must not, however, mistake quacks for physicians.
The man who advertises something he does not ex
pect to do or that which people know he cannot af
ford to do eets no practice any one else would want,
and fails to give satisfaction1 to even that class of
people. We engage in no delusive propositions.

drug clerk, but consult a specialist who knows his business. We cure
