OIL FEVER BREAKS OUT NEAR BARSTOW OVER 6000 ACRES OF LAND AL. READY LOCATED Wells Sunk and Good Prospects of Petroleum Found, Which Leads to Excitement Throughout District Special to The EMU. SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. s.—Ex- citement prevails in the Barstow sec- tion over discoveries of oil sand and 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 scheme before a flowing well Is en- countered. EDITOR BRANDS STATE GOVERNMENT A DISGRACE Chester H. Rowell Urges Stanford Students to Enter Politics and Fight Present Cor. ruptlon ' —___—.— By Associate \u25a0 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. Shot by Brother.in.Law By Associated Presa.

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 By .tuoclatxA PrtM. 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.

Zens Carries —New Solu- tion Offered 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.

' —___—.—
By Associate \u25a0 Prcsi.STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 5.—
Speaking before a university assembly
this morning, Chester H. Rowell, edi-tor of the Fresno Republican, bitterlydenounced the present state govern-ment and its connection with the South-ern Pacific machine.
"The legislative department of thisstate is a roaring farce," said thespeaker, "only saved from tragedy byIts utter helplessness. The executivedepartment is dictated to by the hiredservant of a foreign corporation. Thejudicial 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 forcollege men to get out Into politics andtight existing conditions. Incidentally,he said that unless Japanese immigra-
tion was stopped the Pacific coast wouldface a race problem far more seriousthan that In the soy.th today.

Another got "cold feet," itIs said, and also resigned, and the deathof Grosvenor has seemed to mark theadministration as hoodooed. Thereforea successor has been hard to find.Though four or five citizens have con-sented to enter the race, each In turnhas seen the writing on the wall and forsuperstitious reasons has withdrawn.

GROSS NEGLECT OF DUTY IS
CHARGED AGAINST THEM

Special to The Herald.
SAN ERNARDINO, Feb. 6.—Late to-day the grand Jury for 1907-8 completedIts sessions, covering: twenty-two daysand costing the county $1036.30, exclu-sive of the cost of witnesses summoned.It made its final report to the superiorcourt, and was discharged.
The report, though less volcanic thansome reports of ihe past, handled cer-tain township officers without gloves,
and found Justice of the Peace .Martinand Constable A. P. Preciado, both ofthe Victorville precinct, on the desert,guilty of "gross negligence jof duty" andrecommended "their immediate dis-missal" by the supervisors.
This recommendation grows out ofsevoral sensational shooting affrayslately occurring on the desert.
The recommendation Is made in thelist of general recommendations of thereport, which further draws attentionto the positions occupied by Dr. D. C.Strong, who is county health officerand superintendent of the county hos-pital, and who also practices medicineoutside of these two positions, whichthe report declares makes it impossiblefor him to properly fill the duties ofboth public positions.
The report then demands the resig-
nation of City Health Officer Hurley,
who Is made responsible for a seriousfriction which exists between the cityand 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 actionof any county officer who, after he as-sumes office, engages in other dutieswhich consume a major part 1 of histime.
The report praises the managementof the orphans' home, thereby giving
cold comfort to certain cliques of wo-men who have formed an organisationwith the avowed intention of unseatingthe management. Other county officersare also commended.

CAMPAIGN ONFOR 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-
tion Offered
Special to The Herald.OCEAN PARK, Feb. 5—Having as
its object the plan to make a final set-tlement of the factional war whichfor several vcars past has been waged
here with bitter animosity, a move-ment has been started by several of
the most prominent local businessmen for a harmony campaign.
When Abbot Kinney first foundedVenice, 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 andG. M. Jones were acknowledged lead-ers of the opposing faction, and bothsides in gathering strength becamemore embittered.
With an election approaching, whennew trustees will be given the reignof 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 factionframed a ticket and platform, both ofwhich are acknowledged by fair-mind-ed men of the city to be good; but thefact that it Is a Kinney faction ticketwill bring out strong opposition.
Recently about fifty business men—the greater number of whom are saidto be supporters of Fraser and Jones-met and formed a political club. Thespirit of the organization, It wasclaimed, was for a "square deal." Nev-ertheless, the candidates for trusteeswho will be selected to run on thatclub's ticket will be strenuously op-posed, although not personally, for itis reported that at least two of themen likely to be slated were ap-proached and asked to run on the Kin-ney faction ticket at the time It wasframed.
Many Withhold NamesMany prominent local business men
have refused to allow their names tobe used in connection with the po-litical campaign and have refused toaccept a nomination for the trustee-ship, giving as their reason that theydo not. care to be mixed up in the nuid-slingtng politic*] combat which is evennow under way.
It is for the purpose of quelling thispolitical fight and establishing,through compromise, a friendly rela-tion between the two factions that afew of the moat prominent of the lo-cal business men are seeking to startthe "harmony campaign."
David Evans, a prominent capitalist,made the following statement In re-gard to the situation:
"Harmony should be established atall cost. Political wrangling threatensnow to do great harm to the city andcitizens. If a compromise cannot beeffected it is time for the men whowant fair play and a square deal toorganize and Btep In between the twofighting factions, absorbing them asfar as possible and taking the affairsof government out of their hands bygaining a majority.
"If a compromise ticket can be ar-ranged and both sides will stand byIt, so much the better. I myself amfor the 'square deal." "
Concurs in Views
Dr. J. M. White, prominently Iden-tified with the clty"B interests, ex-pressed sentiments similar to those ofMr. Evans. He said:
"The only way It will be possible toestablish friendly relations betweenthe two factions will be by the elec-tion of five fair-minded men, who, astrustees, will serve with absolute im-partiality, favoring neither side anddoing what is right and square by
both."Such action on the part of the citi-
zens would result In a benefit to thecity and would advance Its growth,which has been retarded by the con-stant bickering of the two politicalfactions."
Frank Lawton, whose alleged per-sonal enmity toward Abbot Klnney issaid to have recently been openly ex-pressed, also states that he believes inthe "square deal" platform as a mu-nicipal benefit.
"The Interests of the citizens and thecity are at stake," he said, "and If aharmony campaign can do good, thenthe sooner started tho better it willbe for all."
While both Fraser and Jones, lead-ers of the antl-Klnney faction, wereout of the city, it was stated by apersonal friend and associate that bothwould wish to be quoted as being; Infavor of the "harmony campaign;"that It was to their interests as wellas to the Interest of all concerned.
