the turmoil of civilization, Charles M. ' pathetic incidents marked the wreck on
efforts: Wasco. 1.23; Hatfield Heights.
1.34; Grass Valley, 1.43. and Moro. the
county seat. 1.80. At The Dalles, where
the rainfall is almost always heavier,
.90 inches was recorded as the total pre
cipitation for the same period, according
to Hatfield. He also claims that the
records of Umatilla. . Baker City and
Walla Walla show that at each place
the rainfall from May 9 to May 25 was
considerably less than at The Dalles.
His figures 'show Umatilla. .46; Baker
City, .39, and Walla Walla. .30.
In discussing his purported success,
Mr. Hatfield says:
"Many people look at artificial rain
producing in the wrong light. I do not
claim to be able to make rain. What I
do profess to be able to accomplish is the
attraction of rain from moisture-laden
clouds. My system consists of chemical
combinations working in harmony with
the very law that makes rain m a natural
sense. .
"Nature furnishes ground. Why does
man fertilize the ground? Look at artifi
cial treatment of the skies In the same
light and you have the thing in a nut
shell. Nature supples rain conditions, but
assistance is necessary in bringing about
precipitation."

HATFIELD PLANT AT CROWS LANDING. STANISLAUS COUNTY. CALIFORNIA.
Hatfield, better known as "the Rain
Maker," is busily engaged in the unique
art of manufacturing moisture.
The conditions of nature which have
made Portland one of the wettest cities
In the West has made Wasco and Its
Sherman County environs one of the dri
est. Considering the fact that the two
cities are only 90 miles apart, these con
ditions appeal to the layman as being
remarkable. To Hatfield, however, there
Is nothing strange in the fact that these
two extremes are represented within a
district of less than 100 miles' radius.
The student of meteorology declares that
taking the location of the two cities into
consideration, the conditions could not
possibly be different.
Methods Those of Science.
Hatfield does not claim to be possessed
of any supernatural-powers and. lays the
credit for his results to advanced sci
ence. He explains in full the method by
which he purports to draw rain from the
clouds. The "'rain maker" employs chem
icals and electricity in his work and his
explanation In regard to the results he
claims - to achieve are considered by
many to be more than plausible.
Hatfield, In filling his contracts, locates
himself In the mountains at the highest
altitude In the neighborhood of the dis
trict he has been engaged to secure rain
for. He then erects a derrick in the im
mediate vicinity of an artiticlal water
supply. This water Is evaporated by a
chemical process and treated with elec
tricity, after which it Is liberated. After
liberation, according to Hatfield, the
evaporated water comes in contact with
rain-laden clouds as they are being forced
over the tops of the mountains by the
air current and precipitation follows. The
"rain maker" works on the theory that
clouds containing millions of ' tons of
moisture pass over dry districts, but at
such a high altitude that they fail to
discharge the water within them.
Cct9 as Xear as Possible to Clouds.
i Hatfield declares that his reason for
selecting the-mountains as a base for his
operations is to be in a position to treat
the so-called moisture-laden clouds di-
rectly. He maintains that all cities or"
districts directly east of a mountain
range are Invariably dry. he says this
condition of affairs Is due to the fact
that the clouds, in being forced over the
range by the winds from the west, pass
over the district just east of the moun
tains at a height where the air is too
light to cause precipitation without arti
ficial assistance.
Hatfield, who Is a Californlan, became
enthused In unraveling the mystery of
the clouds when a lad of 15. The drouths
that Southern California had been expe
riencing in those days' started him to
thinking, with the result that he later
took up the study of meteorology. It was
not until April. 1902. a number of years
after he had commenced his investiga
tions, that Hatfield was ready for his
Initial test. This test was made In pri
vate at San Diego, and between the date
of April, 1902. and February. 1904, he
made 18 similar tests without arousing
eusplclons aa to what he was doing.
Tries First In California.
It was In February, 1904. during one
of the severest drouths Southern Califor
nia had ever witnessed, that Hatfield
came to the front and publicly announced
in Los Angeles his ability to bring rain.
He was immediately branded as being
mentally unbalanced and Was for some
time held as an object for ridicule.
Nevertheless, there were a few business
men willing to give him a trial. The peo
ple all over the southern part of the
state were holding prayer meetings and
fasts that the drouth be broken. Condi
tions were terrible. Southern California's
rainy months had practically passed with
out the ground being as much as damp
ened. Hatfield offered to finance his op
erations at his own expense and was to
be paid $1000 if he was successful in fill
ing his contract, which called for 18
Inches of rain between February 1 and
May 1. The average rainfall in Los An
geles since 1877, according to the records
In the weather bureau office, had only
been 8.75 inches annually. Hatfield be
gan operations February 2, and by the
fifth, rain fell. Less his contract time by
30 days. 18 inches of rain fell In Los An
geles and vicinity.
Second Season in Sherman County.
This is Hatfield's second season in
Sherman County. According to the rec
ords. .5 of an inch has, been Wasco's
greatest precipitation In 23 years for the
month of May. Up to May 25 of this
year Hatfield says he has secured 1:23
Inches. In giving this figure he claims
to have counted from the ninth of the
month, when his contract began. He
gives out the following figures to show
what b states are circumstances of his

the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis-Electric
Railway last night. A. H.
Schultz, Jr., W. L. Norton and J. W.
McDanlel, all of Baltimore, met death
while sitting by their wives, who did
not know of their losses until being
taken to the hospital. Traffic Manager
Slaughter, whose injuries are more
serious than those of any of the others,
was taken to the hospital in an uncon
scious condition. When his senses re
turned he was told that his little
daughter had been killed at his side.
One of the first bodies taken from the
wreck was that of a young woman
dressed in a pink ball dress. She has
not been identified.
- Many of the passengers on the special
from Baltimore were coming to this
city to attend the graduation ball at
the Naval Academy. A few of the pas
sengers caught a glimpse of the other
car, as it approached, and rushed for
the rear of their coach. Perhaps that
6aved some lives, for a moment later
the collision occurred.
Traffic. Manager Slaughter . was ter
ribly injured, his head being swollen to
nearly twice Its proper size, and his
body being badly cut and bruised. He
may lose the sight of one eye. The
bodies of many of the dead were ter
ribly mangled. One of the least dis
figured was that of Motornvan O'Neal,
notwithstanding he was hurled 50 feet
by the impact of the cars.
Responsibility for the accident has
not yet been definitely determined, but
it was caused. It is said, by a confusion
in the orders as to where the cars
should pass.
WOODMEN FILE BIG CLAIM
Seek to Recover $350,000 From
Banker Crocker's Estate.
CHARITON. Ia., June 6. Head
Banker H. C. McNider, of the Modern
Woodmen of America, has filed a claim
of J350.000 against the F. R. Crocker
estate, Guilford Crocker, administra
tor, on the ground of an alleged de
posit that the Woodmen head banker
had in the defunct First National Bank
here. Crocker was cashier and man
ager of the bank.
A copy of the famous Woodmen bond
is attached' to the claim. This bond is
the security Head Banker McNider had
against .loss of money In the bank and
is for $400,000. The names of the fol
lowing persons are signed to the in
strument: F. R. Crocker, A. L. Mallorv,
J. M. Thayer, G. J. Stewart, E. S.
Baker. G. W. Larimer. John Bennett,
L. R. Bennett, George Bennett and J. S.
Miller.
This bond was sent by Mr. Crocker
on July 25. 1905, and it is now prac
tically proved that all the names on It
except Mr. Crocker's were forged by
him. All the men whose names appear
state positively that they never signed
a bond.
noon and are now at the Angelus Ma
rine Hospital.
The names of the dead interred are:
A. Reinhold. George Wood, G. W. Meek,
E. C. Boggs and E. J. Burns.
The injured now at the hospital here
are Walter S. Burns, A. Hayes, H. Fitz
gerald, S. Stamatis, F. S. Maxfleld and
J. P. Carroll. All of these men are
suffering from frightful burns and at
least two of theni are not expected to
recover. The condition of Maxfleld and
Carroll Is very serious. Both men are
burned and scalded from head to foot
and are suffering also from severe con
gestion of the lungs and respiratory
organs, caused by the Inhalation of
steam. All of them suffered the loss
of a large amount of cuticle, so severe
in softie of the cases that it is feared
It may not heal. The three others who
sustained injuries in the accident. Rut
ledge, Corns and Watson, are on board
the Tennessee, being cared for in the
hospital of the ship. Their injuries
are not serious.
A funeral service over the bodies of
the five dead was conducted on board
the Tennesse today, prior to the serv
ices held at the cemetery In the pres
ence of the whole ship's company. The
service was remarkable for Its simple
impresslveness and for the manifesta
tion of feeling of both officers and
men, from the Admiral to the sailor
of the lowest rank. The flags of all
the vessels in the harbor as well as
those in the little City of San Pedro
floated at halfmast throughout the
ceremonies.
A message was received this after
noon from President Roosevelt, ad
dressed to the commander-in-chief, ex
pressing his sympathy and concern
over the accident on the Tennessee.

OXE ADDED TO DEATH LIST
Burns Succumbs to Scalds Official
Inquiry Is Begun. .
SAN PEDRO, Cal.. June . One more
name was added to the list of those
who lost their-lives in yesterday's ex
plosion on board the armored cruiser
Tennessee, making the number of
fatalities up to date, five. E. J. Burns,
a coal-passer. New York City, suc
cumbed to his injuries early today,
after a night of terrible suffering.
Early today six of the seriously In
jured men were brought off In a ship's
barge and sent to Los Angeles on a
special electric car in charge of Dr.
Coffman, of the Tennessee. Those
removed were Walter S. Burns, a coal
passer. New York; R. W. Watson, tire
man, second class. East St- Louis, 111.;
A. Hayes, water-tender, Brooklyn, N.
Y. ; H. Fltzpatrick, fireman, first class,
Brooklyn, N. Y.; S. Stamatis, fireman,
first class, Norfolk. Va. ; F. S. Maxfleld,
fireman, second class, Toughena, Pa.
The injuries of R. F. Rutledge, a coal
passer, of Athens, Pa., and of G. M.
Corns, fireman, second class, Hartford,
Conn., are much less serious, and these
men were not removed from the ship.
Business in San Pedro was practically
suspended during the funeral of the dead
sailors. A naval guard of honor con
sisting of marines and sailors of the fleet
accompanied the bodies from the Fourth
street landing to the cemetery. Large
crowds have been attracted all day today
at the landing where the ships' boats are
plying back and forth.
The official board of Inquiry to deter
mine the cause of the" explosion convened
on board the cruiser this afternoon. The
board is composed of Captain C. E. Fox
of the South Dakota; Lieutenant-Commander
Ofley, fleet engineer, and Lieu
tenant S. D. Raby. chief engineer of the
South Dakota. The board began the
hearing of the testimony of officers of
the Tennessee and will also hear the
stories of the survivors frem the fire
room. The members will also make a
thorough inspection of the exploded
boiler pipe and fireroom. The inquiry
will last three or four days and the find
ings will be telegraphed to Washington.
The bursted tube will be replaced with
a new one immediately and the speed
trial, which was interrupted by the ac
cident, will be resumed next Monday. It
will not be necessary for the Tennessee
to go to the Navy-yard.

of Investigation appointed by Admiral
Sebree.
Admiral Sebree bas wired a report
containing practically the same Infor
mation as the newspaper dispatcnes. ,
The four-inch boiler tube burst, he says.
at 4:11 A. M., while the vessel was
under full way. The injured men are
to be conveyed to the hospital at 1.0s
Angeles this morning. Following the
accident the Admiral communicated
with the first division of the Pacific
fleet to obtain additional dressings for
the wounded men, and then proceeded
to San Pedro. , The Admiral's report
gives the list of dead and injured prac
tically as given in the press dispatches.
Several months ago there was an
accident to the boiler machinery on
the cruiser St. Louis while off the Pa
cific Coast, caused by the unwelding of
a water leg. This, however, was not
as severe as the' accident on the Ten
nessee, five men being badly scalded,
but recovering after 10 days' treatment.
There have been a number of serious
accidents te naval vessels In recent
years, but the officials claim that the
number is smaller and results less seri
ous than in foreign navies.
A statement prepared by -the Navy
Department regarding the firemen who
lost their lives gives the following in
formation: Walter Wood, water tender, enlisted
at Philadelphia, home address Scranton,

QUITS STAGE FOR PULPIT
Reginald Barlow, 30 Years an Ac
tor, Takes to Preaching.
NEW YORK, June 6. After spending
30 years as an actor, Reginald Barlow,
son of Milt G. Barlow, once a prominent
actor, has announced that he is to enter
the ministry. Giving 'as his ambition
the reconciliation of the church and
stage, Mr. Barlow announced that ho
would assist In conducting the service
in the Church of the Ascension, Green
Point, tomorrow evening. The news
came as a surprise to his friends.
"In my opinion, every actor, when he
becomes 50 or 60 years of age if he
still Is in the profession, should become
a minister," said Mr. Barlow.
"His natural vocation has been ap
pealing to all sorts of men and women,
and he has seen all kinds. It is per
fectly natural, also, that when a man
has devoted the greater part of his life
to making people laugh, he should want
to get down to serious things. There
Is bound to come a time in the life of
every man and woman when he -or she
must think of serious things."
Influenced by Rev. Walter Bentley.
organizer of the Actors' Church Alli
ance, Mr. Barlow is planning to enter
the general theological seminary in the
Fall as a resident student, although it
is probable that he wll undertake
"layman" preaching under Bishop Dar
lington. In the first position he will
start on a low salary.
Mr. Barlow is 39 years old and he
made his debut when a boy of 9 years.
While in Winnipeg in 1900 he Joined
the Royal Canadian regiment and
served in the Boer War. For his serv
ices In rescuing his Captain when
wounded, he received a medal from
Queen Victoria.
Condon Will Celebrate July 4.
CONDON, Or., June 6. (Special.) Ex
tensive plans are being made for an old
fashioned Fourth of July celebration. The
committee in charge consists of Hallie
Rice. Oscar Veatch and Campbell Mor
gan, under the chairmanship of Mayor
Farnsworth. One of the features of the
celebration will be the holding of a mar
ket day such as has been in vogue in
other Eastern Oregon pities. There will
be plenty of baseball and a number of
carnival features will be added to give
sprightliness to the occasion. It Is ex
pected there will be broncho-bucking contests.
