Diaz, however, claims that Garcia a year ago set fire to an out building on the Diaz premises and that since then he has repeatedly threat ened to kill him and destroy his house. Diaz also claims that Garcia called on him yesterday afternoon, flourish ing a revolver and pruning' knife, and threatened his life. Ho says Garcia, also declared he would: burn him out during the night, and that caused him to be on his guard. Diaz claims Oarcia's enmity arises from jealousy of his wife.

' SAN PKnitO. March 31.— Following Is the frill text of the report sent to the clly trustees by the cummittee of citi zens srnt to Investigate proposed chungps In Innor harbor plans: To the Honorable Hoard of Trustees of the City of Sim Pudro— The under signrrl comtnltten appointed by your honorable body to Investigate find ro port to you ns to the effect of the changes In tho harbor lines of tho Inner harbor, uh proposed by the .South ern Pacific anil Knit Lake railroads and the Banning company, beg to respect fully report uh follows: Wo proceeded to Los Angeles and ex amined tho rnnpS on exhibition at the office of the government engineer. And hero wo desire to return publicly our thanks to Capt. Charles McKlnstry, the government engineer In charge, for the courteous and painstaking manner In which he explained to us the nature and effect of the proposed changes and briefly stated the government engineers established bulkhead and pier head lines along the Terminal Island and Wilmington shores, leaving the Inter vening space open for dredging in the future whenever the need of commerce desired It. t Railroads' Plan The Southern Pacific, Salt Lake rail roads and the Banning company desire these lines chunged and that a bulk head be built some seven hundred feet from either side of the proposed fill from three hundred to one thousand feet In width. And that the proposed fill in the center of the channel be given to the above companies. In short they propose that instead of dredging the harbor from Mormon island to north of Wilmington, the above named companies ask that over half of the available dredging' space bo filled in by tho government and given to them In perpetuity. At the meeting of this committee XI. D. Sepulveda offered the following resolution which was unanimously adopted: Itesolved, that we consider it for the best interest of the harbor of San Pedro that the lines as now laid down by the government engineers from the north erly limits of the city San Pedro to a point south of Wilmington, should be maintained- as they now exist. And that the people of this community and the city of Los Angeles, who are equal ly Interested with us, should use their utmost endeavors In opposing the scheme proposed ' by the Southern Pa cific, the Suit Lake railroad and Ban ning company as antagonistic to the best Interests of the people residing in the country tributary to the harbor of San Pedro. Charges Exorbitant And further, that this committee re spectfully calls the attention of your board to the present exorbitant wharf, unloading, loading und switching char ges exacted by the Southern Pacllic railroad from the merchants of San Pedro and earnestly urge that you ap point a committee of your own mem bers to Interview the railroad authori ties and endeavor to obtain a reduc tion of the same, to a reasonable rate, and that failing therein you appeal to the State Board of Railroad commis sioners, asking them to investigate the same. Respectfully submitted, JOHN T. GAFFRY. R. D. SEPULVEDA. WM. W. BURKE, W. W. THOMAS. Hotel del Cornnndn is tho society rosort.
