There were, actually, a few more than
237 additional names received to the
MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS URGING IMMEDIAIE ACTION FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A HARBOR AT SAN PEDRO,
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA,
To the Congress of the United States:
The undersigned citizens ol the United States, residing in Southern California
and adjacent territories, wonld respectfully represent:
L Tbat a deep sea harbor on the coast of Los Angelss connty is a matter of
urgent necessity, not only for tbe commercial needs of this section, but also for
tbe uses of tbe national government.
11. That three boards of government engineers have examined the different
harbor sites suggested, and have in each case unanimously decided in favor of San
Pedro as the best location, their reasons for selecting it being in each case set
forth at length in their reports to the war department, which reports have been
laid before your honorable body.
111. The only opposition to San Pedro emanates from Collis P. Huntington, the
president of tbe Sonthern Pacific Railroad company, wbo for his own selfish ends
desires tbe selection of Santa Monica, where bis corporation haa a monopoly of
tbe water front, and whore competition by other railroads ie an impossibility.
IV. In view of these facts and conditions, we earnestly urge your honorable
body to take immediate action and make such appropriation as will enable work
on tbe proposed deep sea harbor at tbe present session of congress.
In support of our petition we would call your attention to the reports of the
government experts authorized by your honorable body at various periods during
tbe past three years to select a location for a deep sea harbor on the coast
of Los Angeles county; to the memorials of the state legislature urging the con
struction of a harbor at San Pedro ; to the action of Trpnamisaissippi congress of
1893-4; to numerous petitions of the chamber of commerce of tbe city of Los An
geles, resolutions of city councils, bosrda of snpervisnrs and commercial organiza
tions of Southern California; to petitions of tbe citizens and commercial bodies of
every principal city and town of Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, all urging ap
propriation for the construction of a deep sea harbor at San Pedro; and to tha
resolutions embodied in the platforms of the county conventions of all political
parties of Loa Angeles, favoring tbe proposed harbor.
The undersigned respectfully submit that there can be no valid objection nor
feasible opposition to the proposed harbor, and that the urgency of tbe measure
at tbis time is in the nature of an emergency.
Signature • Residence :
. t
San Pedro memorial yester lay, but it
being Sunday and moat uf the clerical
force enjoying a holiday, not quite all of
those received wero counted. Indeed
tbe 227 names that were counted came
as a surprise. It was hardly expected
that there would be any more receipt*
nntil Monday morning, though of coarse,
the signing of the blanks would go on
with tbe usual zeal. It was > welcome
surprise, however, and Tun Herald ap
preciates tba energy and earnestness
tbat led soma of the mora enthusiastic
ones to forget at least a part of tbeir day
of rest in order to help swell the graat
rolls. All in all, it makes a total o( very
nearly 6500 signatures for tbe first six
days' work—truly a most excellent
showing. The Herald is proud of it
and thinks all Southern California has
good cause to congratulate Itself npon
tbe unselfish efforts of the citizens.
IT SHOWS A UNITED PEOPLE.
And when yoa take into considera
tion tbe faot that these initial 6500
names represent bat the starting of tbe
movement—merely an earnest, as it
were, of what mtr fairly be expected
within the next 10 days—then, indeed,
is it rleir that there is cause tor rejoic
ing at the chowing made last week.
And whatever the memorial may or
may not accomplish when it reaches
congress in the way of stimulating that
body to immediate action, at least thia
much it will prove, once and for all
time: That the citizen* of Southern
California nro practically a unit on the
harbor question.
Someone asked Saturday, Where do
all tbe names oome from? The question
could hardly bo answered iv detail—o»r
tainly not without a vast amount of
clerical work. From everywhere would
be almost a fair an.aiver. From as far
north as Bokersfield the lists have come.
Yesterday a few n»tne br mail from Ari
zona. Ventura has ,snt some namoa
and will send more, and San D:ego haa
not been backward, Even Santa Mon
ica has been graciously beard from in a
substantial manner.
WHERE SOME LISTS C:ME FROM.
Mr. Toomnv brought in another list
Saturday. He is employed by M. M.
Siglie & Co., the wholesale wine and
liquor merchants at 221 West Fourth
street. His tirm is taking nn active in
terest in the canvass. Hie names are
all those of down town bnainess men.
He upends a few hours each day and
cornea iv before dark with soma yards
of numen,
A. J. Horn, of A-uju, seat in a goi.J
list yesterday, and will send mora next
waak. 0. Hendrioki, ot Santa, Ann, did
likewise. Tbe Santa Ana people bava
dona well so far and are going to do bat
ter. From Barstow came a faw yards ;
W. D. Woolwioe, caibier of tba Cali
fornia Savings bank, cent in a long list.
Another long ono oame from tha Amer
ican Short Order restaurant, compiled
at tho instance of F. A. Burnham, the
proprietor. Remember that you can
sign tha memorial there. From Boyle
Heights came a long list. Grocer J. M.
Obrisman, of Santa Ana, gent a faw
yards. From Downey Sam C Hammer
eeut n rousing list, tbat is only a fore
runner. And so on to the end of a long
etory—too long, in troth, to tall it all in
one issue of The Herald.
We're only waiting for your oame
now.
There's r?po«e enough to mention jast
a few more placet. M M. McOoriaiok
of Newhsll sent in a good sized list.
From Anton came hitlf « hun ;.» . sigaa
tore? or more. Tba Veutura contributor
was W. M. Ursnn, tha merchant tailor,
who says the people ol his pretty little
seaeosst city are about of ons mind ou
tbe subjsot and »ll willing to nign.
From Alhanibra a Bmo.ll Hat came—
with ths promise of a larger one.
THK NEW YORK KITCHEN LIST.
Itßhould ba remembered by everyone
that the Sun Pedro memorial may be
signed at the New York Kitchen, 120
West First street. It's n good luncheon
place and thousands patronize it in tbe
conrse of a wank, Presently a ronsing
big list will ba forthcoming from there.
THK COUNTRY PRESS.
Though there wore not many ex
changes received Suuiay, yet from the
few that did coma it is quite plain that
the press as well ns the pihlic of South'
crn California is neeply interested in this
movement for a deep sea harbor at San
Pedro, ior the oommercial advancement
of tii-, entire southern section of the
state. Here nre a couple pointed and
quite apropos utterance! from tba out
of town proas:
' Tho Loo Angeles Herald is gutties
signature* to a memorial to congress,
asking tbat great body to take immedi
ate action on wn appropriation bill for a
deep-water harbor at San Pedro," cays
tho Etsinore Press. "The memorial
had 2000 signer* in two days. It re
mains to be seen Whether tbe wishes of
eovoral thousand enterprising citizens
will have as much weight with congress
an the influence ot Colli* P. Huntington,
the Southern Pacilic magnate, wbo ie
lighting the bill."
Ttie Chino Valley Champion says:
"The Loa Angeles H ERAI - D is opening
up a vigorous campaign against the
Southern Pacific Kaiiroad company and
ita scheme to secure a goternment ap
propriation for Santa Monica harbor.
The Hkrald is circulating for signatures
to a memorial asking congress to im
prove San Pedro harbor,"
It's not ao hard to make an uphill
fight when the support is so generous
and spontaneous. In fact, it's a pleas
ant work, when the applause ia not
withheld and ths proper aid forthcom
ing. And, really, it's not a Herald
fight. It'a the fight of the whole people.
No newspaper conld make tba light for
tbe people. They mnat make it for
themselves. All that any newspaper
could do, and all that This Hkrald haa
done, is to point out tho way, est the
ball rolling—preßs the button, as it
might be aaid. Tbe people must do the
rest. The Herald couldn't write the
nnmsi on the lists. The citizem must
do that for themeelvea. And they ere
doing it, doing it splendidly, doing it by
the thousand.
ONLY WAITING FOR YOU.
We're only waiting for your name
now. Be prompt, and remember that
time is tbo great element in this mem
orial. It must contain 20,000 names. It
must reach congress before adjourn
ment. It must reach thia present con
gress. This moans quick work. The
Herald furnishes tbs blank lists; you
muat fill tbem out.
SHIPPING TO CHINA.

Denver, Col., Jan. 13,—Colorado re
filled silver bullion ia being aliippod by
local ameltera direct to China. No ex
act detaile obtainable, at silver men de
cline to give any figures. Cut it is posi
tively known that several hundred
thousand ounces have been shipped
lately. The Omaha and Grant and
Globe are the smelters engaged in the
trade.
It is not a new market for Colorado
silver by any means, but the fact that
it is shipped direct from Denver and
not through eastern or foreign agencies,
shows that the business men oi the
west are endeavoring to eeoure to tbem
eeivea all tbe prolits to be made in the

Ban Francisco, J»n. IS.— Two monitor
mass meetings wera bald \i tbia oity
tbis afternoon to protest against tbe ap
pointment ofM. A. Gnnat as police com
misiioner, to denoanoe local politioal
corruption and to protest against Dis
triot Attorney Knight for not causing
tbe arrest at C. P. Huntington. Tba
drat two subjeots oame in for the greater
attention. Dr. Elbert Dill* addresssd
the big audience that crowded Odd Fel
lows' hall to the doors, filling gallery
and floor until there was not a seat left.
Thia was held at the instance oi the Law
and Order leagae, and lt was a signifi
cant and entbaaiastic demonstration
marked by emphatio and stirring
speeches that were followed to the olose
by the hearty accord of a gathering
wholly in earneat.
lilt EAGLE AND THE LIZARD,
Dr. Dille compared the government of
a repnblio to a pyramid. "Only two
things can get to the top—tbe eagle and
the lizard—and in oity affairs the rep
tile gets there, leaving ita slimy trail
behind.
"All th* gamblers and all the vioioua
element," said he, "are eaying, 'We
have found our Moses. We've got San
Francisco and a fence arouud it, and
our Moses to lead as into it.'
"With boss rule, tbng rule, corpora
tion rule and the diffidence of good citi
zens this has become a government of
the worst, by the worst and for the
worst.
"The wicked flee when no man pur
sueth," said the preacher, with script
ural reminiscence,"but tbey make vastly
better time when there is a good man
after them," and the audience laughed
and obeered,
GOVERNOR MARKIIAJI's BRAND.
"Why ia it common talk," want on
Dr. Dille, "that the highest office in th*
state was put up for a stake among tha
gamblers, and when this man loat be
waa given office to recoup him?"
"Yon have done thia to plsase the
liquor men and tbe gamblers. Tbey
bave put their brand on yoa, and you
are their man," was Dr. 0. O. Brown's
message to ez-Governor Markham. Dr.
Brown continued: "Tbe mark he has
put on himselt is indelible. This is an
immortality of infamy. From this hour
Governor Markham stands convicted aa
a man who socks the approval of tbe
dregs of society.
"He has thrown a mantis of shame
over the closing hours of a wreck ed ad
ministration."
One leading aentiment .run tbrough
all the speschaa: "We want anew
charter." ,
"Good will oome of the Gunat ap
pointment," eaid Dr, Brown. "Out of
it will corns a new charter and we will
see to it that the whole minerabls police
oommiasion ie wiped out of existence.
We do not want a police commission in
fraternity with the Kamblers, saloons
and brothels.
4 SPASM OF VIRTrjH.
"No man has any business on ths po
lice commission who has any connec
tion with gambling aod pool selling.
"This appointment says to the gam
blers: •lioy", you can go on about your
business, and I, as a police commission,
will wink my eye on that side' "
Dr. J. C. Smith hoped the people
wonld not go to sleep after one of these
"spasms of virtue which strike us about
once in two years." He wanted a strong
and permanent central organisation that
would hold in view the good government
of the city.
Attorney W. F. Gibson, one of tho
freeholders, was emphatic in his state*
ment tbat the appointment of Mosee,
Gunnt was o::e of the most obnoxions
that could be made. He was free to
admit tbat Mr. Gunst hat good qualities.
"He ia good to hia friends. He is
very friendly to his friends, and right
here lice tbe vice of the appointment.
That very element of standing with
frienda would cotas into play and the
police would be paralyzed." The rem
edy wag a new charter, and the piscina
PRICE FIVE CENTS
of tbs appointing power in an officer
resident among as and within tha
reach of home eplnion.
T. Gilbert Dexter advised th* people
to let party politics go to tbe dogs In
mnnioipal affairs. Mayor Sntro was
elected by tha people, and if every
officer was co elected we would bsra a
good city government.
HUNTINQTON HAS THE SAT.
Another freeholder, Dr. Jerome An
daroon, did not confine himself wholly
to the local situation, bnt inquired: "Il
there any man in thia andiencw wbo
does not know tbat whoever Oollia P.
Huntington says shall be senator will b*
senator?"
Rev. Dr. McClesh wound up the pro
ceedings witb an address eoncsived in a
broad and sympathetic spirit. The
chairman of tba meeting was X, J.
Truman, Mr. Truman in bis opefuing
address remarked tbat "When tba
devil was kioked out of heaven be was
not permitted to name his luccest/or."
The audience met the allusion with a
bearty round of obeers. A* for Borne
he pointed ont: "It ia history tbat thia
man was a defaulter in the only two
offices he ever held. Is it not a sham*
that this man should have tba ait* ol
Markham?"
Many prominent ministers and ollt
zens were seated on tha platform. Res*
olutions were adopted favoriag the
adoption of a new charter; asking thai
tbe tenors of police commissioneis ba
limited and admitting no man to 111 tba
position against whom throe re
sponsible citizens shall allege in
fluence of vios. Another res
olution wbich was adopted,
petitions the legislature to investigate
the appointment of M. A. Ganst as
police commissioner, and devise means
for the removal and proaecation of all
officers and attaches of th* polite ds
partment found by their official candaoi
and business interests to be unfit far th*
positions held by tbem.

and a dozen men trampled over her.
Jast bsfore the preacher oame upon
the atage a woman carrying an infant

"I want yoa to baptize my baby, dot*

"Bat, my dear woman, than art
thousands in front of thii stage who ara
impatiantly waiting for aervioei to be«
gin, Oan't you bring tbe baby back ia

"I am afraid, doctor, it will then ba

The preacher caught light ot the pal*,

"Baby will be baptized new," he laid,
and while the vast audience in front lm«
patiently waited, tha dying infsnt wag
baptized behind th* scenes and the
mother went away contented.
