HERALD Of yesterday morning, thu citi-
zsns of Santa Monica assembled in
msso meeting for the purpose OF de-
nouncing this papsr.
Ths animus OF the meeting was ex-
pooed in the following circular dis
tributej previous to the gathering:
The object of the meeting is to refute the
slanderous statements of the Los ANGELES
HERALD respecting our harbor. THE HERALD
is the enemy OF Santa Monica and stops at no
falsehood to injure us. By its lying insinua-
tons it seeks to do us harm. Shall we permit
this personal organ OF san Pedro property
owners and the criminal monopoly to continue
its lies about Santa Monica?
