REAL ESTATE VALUES AT
SAN PEDRO SHOW INCREASE
■
SAN PEDRO, June 12.—The effect
consolidation will have on the value
of property In this city has been dem
onstrated during the past few days by
the increased activity in real estate
transactions. ■-'•. -
The principal sale reported was
made by Richard Qulnn, who states
that the reason for the transfer can
only be laid to the belief that con- '
solidation will carry and improvements
be made here. To Los Angeles parties
he sold the southwest corner of First
and Front streets, the southwest cor
ner of j Second and Front and the
wedge at the junction of Third, Front
and "Orizaba. This property is all Im
proved with building.".. The consider
ation was $37,000. Located on Nob hill
the new purchasers believe that as
soon as Los Angeles has jurisdiction
here the much talked of excavation
of the whole hill will take place and
this property be business property.

DEAD FELINES CAUSE
P. O. FORCES TO SIGH
Much Conjecture Is Result of Un
timely Deaths of Cats, but Im
provised Grave Is Uncovered
and Corpses Removed ■
[Special to The Herald.]
VENICE, June 12.—The force of the
local postoffice is resting and heaving
deep sighs of relief after one of the
most strenuous weeks In the history of
the office. The trouble has not been
from overwork, either. The employes
take pride In the way that they handle
the large summer business of the es
tablishment and are always ready to
do just a little more in the Interests of
a prompt and efficient mall service.
The trouble Is cats, just cats. One
morning' early In the week the assis
tants arrived at the postofflce and
viewing one another with disgusted
looks made audible remarks about eat
ing onions when there was any one else
In town besides themselves. The early
morning shoppers came for their mall
and went away with pained expressions
on their faces. '
"Llmburger cheese," . said "Doc"
White of the Good Government league.
"'Saver Kraut," said an old German
restaurateur, "It's old and It's fine
that way." "Rats," said the owner of
the building and hurried away. "Terri
ble," said everybody, "and getting
worse every minute," until the ther
mometer beginning to climb toward the
ninety mark thickened the atmosphere
to a ..density that could not be en
dured and a delegation of citizens be
gan to circulate a petition to the fourth
assistant postmaster general to have
the postoffice removed to Hyperion,
where it belonged.
While the citizen* of the city were
holding their noses and the I visitors
wishing that the outfall sewer had been
placed a greater distance from the
shore an attache of the health office
happened along and recognizing the
odor as that of "feline en rigor mortis"
proceeded to rip up the floor and then
fled. There was not one but two. Both
dear old tabbies? To be sure. But
dear old tabbies dead and alive are
two different things and after being
tenderly removed from their resting
place, on the end of a long fork han
dle. if their souls have any Immor
tality how their ears must have burned
to hear the mean things said about
them.
However, they are gone both ma
terially and spiritually and quiet once
more hovers over the headquarters of
Uncle Sam at this beach.

REAL ESTATE BROKER
FREED; RE-ARRESTED
ALLEGED FORGER ARRAIGNED
AND REMANDED TO JAIL
Defense Shows No Intent to Commit
Fraud Was Made by Prisoner.
Another Charge Filed
Immediately
[Special to The Herald]
SAN BERNARDINO, June 12.—John
H. Llghtfoot, a prominent former real
estate broker of San Bernardino, ar
rested two weeks ago on a charge of
forgery, was today discharged from
custody by Justice Thomas, after he
had taken the case under advisement.
On Instructions from the district attor
ney's office, Llghtfoot was rearrested
immediately by Constable Allen on the
same charge.
Anticipating that Llghtfoot would be
ordered released by Justice Thomas, the
district attorney had taken steps to
have another charge prepared, which
was filed with Justice Hanna of Colton.
The alleged forger was Immediately ar
raigned before the Colton justice and
committed to the custody of the sheriff
in default of 12600 ball. '1 •
The court room was crowded with
friends of the accused man. Justice
Thomas delivered a lengthy decision In
which he not only reviewed the evi
dence which had been offered but also
other considerations In the case. The
justice spoke feelingly of the relatives
of the man by whose hasty and unfor
tunate act disgrace would be brought
on the wife and young daughter and
aged father If he was convicted.
The complaint charged Llghtfoot with
wilfully defrauding S. Jones by forging
the deed to the latter's land. The de
fense proved there was no Intent to
defraud Jones, and it was on these
ground that Justice Thomas released
Llghtfoot. .i »*•>
It is believed the state never will be
able to convict the forme* broker.
TIME DEEMED INOPPORTUNE
TO EXCLUDE THE SALOONS
SAN BERNARDINO, June 12.—A
meeting of the residents of the city
known to oppose the saloons was held
here last evening.
W. E. Leonard presided, and al
though those who attended are not
willing to disclose the exact results
of the conference or what was done,
It is known the decision was reached
that the time was not propitious for
the move to exclude the saloons.
The meeting was not called by either
the newly organized Municipal league,
although a number of the members of
that "organization were present, or the
Anti-Saloon league. Rev. D. M. Gan
dler, representing the latter organiza- i
tion, however, was in this city to at
tend the meeting. .
It Is understood the meeting was
held for the solo purpose of consider
ing an ■ initiative:,ordinance, and al
though the decision was . reached that
the time was not auspicious, Informa
tion which has been obtained indicates
the- movement will by no means be
dropped, but that at some later date
the question will be brought up and
the voters of the city given an oppor
tunity to close the saloons. ,"■
NEEDLES FEARS COLORADO
RIVER WILL FLOOD TOWN
SAN BERNARDINO, June 12.—Re
ports from Needles Indicate the resi
dents of that city fear disastrous re
sults from the Impending rise of the
Colorado river, which It is thought will
flood the entire lower part of the town.
Already the river is within three feet
of the bank on the Needles side, and
If the reported rise of six feet which
is predicted to occur at the head
waters before the middle of the month
prevails at the bend above the desert
city there Is little hope that the water
will not enter the lower portion of
the town. " *•.
On account of the low lands on the
Arizona side it is hoped by the resi
dents of Needles the greater part of
the flood waters will bo turned against
the lower bank across the river and
the flooding of the city be averted.
If the rise Is gradual In all prob
ability Needles will escape, with but
little damage. The bank on the Cali
fornia side of the river continues to
give way. The water eating into the
light sub-soil allows the heavier sur
face to slide into the water.

Mallison reported to the police and

REDONDO'BEACH, June 12.—One
hundred members of Ramona parlor
No. 109 of Los Angeles, Native Bona
of the Golden West, celebrated the
twenty-second anniversary of the par
lor this evening with a banquet and
high jinks at Hepburn & Terry's at the
Pavilion.
They made the building ring from
the time of their arrival until their
departure, taking relays at the roast
chicken and stuffed clams, rising to
impromptu toasts, greeting their fa
vorite .tosher with catcalls and Jibes
and having a good time generally.
The feast was under the general di
rection of "Poncho" Palomares, who
In his lucid Intervals holds down the
desk of assessment clerk at the city
hall. "Slaughter house" Houser, com
monly known as "Pinkie," circulated
the room making impassioned appeals
for donations to the Elks "Booster"
fund. Edwin Meserve was there—
fact he was all there, and very little
In the edible line got by him.
Lyle Pcndegast amused himself
trying to detect clams In the chowder
and scored his usual Sherlock Holmes
results. x'
Bert Farmer circulated around—that
Is, he circulated around his share of
the roast chicken and any he could
get that belonged to anybody else.
Asa Keyes and Guy Eddie laid aside
their law duties long enough to In
dulge In a discussion as to whether
clam chowder a la Bryanteau consti
tuted a libel or not. One contended
that as the person whom the caterer
intended to honor was not connected
with the clam family there was a dis
tinct libel.
Marshall Singleton was another
devotee of roast chicken a la Kc-k
--stromeau and wasn't afraid to say so.
J. N. O'Rech was Johnnie on the spot.
and the spot had to do with a liberal
share .of the raspberries and cream
rolls. City Clerk Lelande and License
Clerk Lovie were both present, as was
Gas House Stamps.
After the mob had destroyed aM of
the supplies that the management
would turn loose they were willing to
sit and absorb the oratorical stunts
that the program committee had billed
for the occasion, which was printed on
the program as follows:
Toastmaster K. A. Meserve, giving
each speaker his cue; F. A. Steven
son, Ramona parlor; J. N. O'Rech,
California; K. B. Lovie, Pioneers; H.
C. l.iehtenhcrger, Our Order; Nathan
P. Bundy, grand parlor. A cornet solo
by Mat Grennen was listened to with
growing Indignation, which was only
quieted by his threatening to play an
encore. ,' •"," ;i*'
The menu which invited the guests
to partake of the toothsome dainties
was In the shape of a California bear
and read as follows:
Clam chowder a la Bryanteau, fish
a, la Palomari. stuffed clams a la
Dunl, roast chicken a la Eckstromeau,
salad a la Edgertoni, cream rolls with
crushed raspberries, wafers, cheese,
coffee, refreshments, cigars.

ing, which Is two stories tall and cost
120,000, stands at the corner, of Marine
street and Ocean Profit, and enters in"
the general color scheme of the Front
to perfection.
One of the attractive features of the
building itself is the exterior decora
tion. The outside is figured in the
vivid colors of the Moorish period of
architecture, and the gilts and blues of
the general scheme add greatly to the
general holiday effect of the section in
which the building stands.
The Interior Is fitted with up-to-date
furnishings, and is said to be the latest
design of any moving picture house In
the United , States. Upholstered opera
chairs of the most comfortable pattern
are placed in the gallery and on the
main floor, | while the facilities for
quickly emptying the house In caso of
an emergency are equal to those of any
first-class theater in the west.

est and best moving picture exhibitions

Post syndicate films, and has engaged
some of the best talent to 'exploit his
Illustrated songs, ■''■'■

Able to Come Out '
Each Day
HOLLYWOOD, June 12.— city of
Hollywood will have two daily papers
instead of two weeklies, beginning next
Monday, and it is predicted one of the
papers will fail. The city ordinance
provides that the city advertising must.
be done In a daily paper, and as an un
usually large contract Is promised this
year the Hollywood Sentinel and the
Hollywood citizen have both announced
their intention of starting a daily paper
and of endeavoring to underbid each
other for the contract. The fight, which
promises to be a hot one, will result ill
the city's printing being done at | a
greatly reduced figure, probably below
cost, and in forcing the losing paper
to the wall. „,, , .;•-. ,;.--,. aMJ
Charles B. (Hosteller, managing editor
of the Hollywood Sentinel, said yester
day afternoon that if the Hollywood
Citizen gets the contract for the city's
printing for the coming year it will do
it at a figure which will put the paper
on a losing basis. The advertising for
the paving of Prospect avenue will>be'
in Itself a large contract, and several
others are anticipated.
The Hollywood Sentinel has already
installed a new printing press, prepara
tory for Monday's issue. The bids will
come before the city council about the
middle of July. Both papers are mak
ing strenuous efforts to secure adver
tising from the local merchants.' .
