San PEDRO As, A HARBOR,
OPINION OF A NAVAL OFFICER
FAMILIAR WITH THE
COAST
It's LOCATION Is FAR SUPERIOR
TO That OF SANTA
MONICA.

Los ANGELES, Feb. 26.-"It is a shame
that the people of California do not unite
on the location of a harbor," said Lieuten-
ant-Commander r. NJ. G. Brown of the
United States navy yesterday.
He had just returned from trip to San
Pedro and Santa Monica and on his re-
turn to Washington will make an unofficial
report to the Commerce Committee of the
Senate on the harbor site.
Lieutenant Brown has been in the
United States Navy thirty years. He was
the navigator of the Trenton when it went
ashore in the terrible storm at Samoa.
"Now, l have not one cent of interest in
the selection of a harbor for Los Angeles.
and so far as l know, no friend of mine
has any interest in the matter Having
been navigator for years. know all the
charts, currents and winds on this coast
and l know the wash of the harbors,
both improved and unimproved, along
this coast. In saying what 1 do l don't
know whether hurt friend or not, but
as naval man and an expert tell you
that San Pedro is your deep-sea harbor.
ut is the only place you can build har-
Dor. Santa Monica looks nice, and people
who know nothing about the undertows,
the hidden currents and the dangerous
winds of the Pacific-winds that only blow
once in while, but when
they do blow they wreck every
thing--people who know nothing
about these things might go to Santa
Monica on fair day and to San Pedro on
as fair day and come back and say Santa
Monica is the place. But if they knew
much about the Pacific Ocean they would
say San Pedro is the place.
Huntington knows that the Govern.
ment will never build harbor at Santa
Monica. Why, the breakwater would have
to be twenty miles from shore, and then it
would not afford a secure harbor.
''At San Pedro it is different Much work
has already been done in the right direc-
ton in that harbor by the Government
and you people should quit fighting about
location and join hands on San Pedro.
81 tell you Huntington only shoves Port
Los Angeles or Santa Monica forward as a
bone of contention. Any honest board OF
engineers will decide in favor of San
Pedro.

Regulating Washington Railroad Rate.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. 26.--The House to-
day passed the Morgan railroad bill,
making the maximum freight rate SIS rs
per ton for agricultural products and
passenger rates 81 cents per mile. The
bill also makes reduction of 25 per cent
on hogs and other livestock, shingles,
lumber, logs, coal, hops, fruits and wool.
To determine the reasonableness of the
rate the bill provides for court of seven
judges, the one in the county where the
action is brought to call in six others.
