WORKING FOB SAN PEDRO.
Los Angeles Citizens Attach Their Sigma
lures TO Petition for Free
H0rbor

LOS ANGELES, CAL. Nov. 23.-Ever
since word came from New York that G,
P. Huntington had conference with the
National Harbor Commission the free
harborites here have been on nettles
Prominent business men, who believe San
Pedro is the proper site for the deep-sea
harbor, got together several days ago and
decided tha something had to be done to
checkmate Huntington's scheme. Chief
Engineer Hoods temporary presence here
added to the uneasiness and spurred the
friends of San Pedro to action.
Accordingly petition in favor of San
Pedro, because OF its natural advantages
and accessibility, was started in circula-
ton this morning. Nearly all the promi-
nent wholesalers and shippers sigEed it
without murmur. Only about half
dozen refusals were met with the dissent
ers being avowed Santa Monica men. The
circulators of the petition at first moved
with the greatest secrecy, but after they
encountered few Santa Monica adher-
ents the cat was soon out of the bag. 1t
is understood that the petition is not to be
presented to the commission unless it be-
comes manifest that Huntington has been
trying to exercise undue influence to de-
lude the commissioners with the idea that
the majority of the business men here
favor Santa Monica.

TRAGEDI At VENIUR1.
Wiiitdns Green Wounds Anto,ae KIens ent
and Kills Himself

VENTURA, CAL, Nov. 23.-WiIliam
Green, tailor, shot Antoine Klement, his
employer, infiicting an ugly wound, and
then put bullet through his own brain,
dying in less than an hour. The tragedy
occurred in Klement's tailor-shop this
morning at II 80 o'clock. Green had been
working for Klement for nearly two years
He had some trouble with Klement about
taking goods from the shop. The two men
were alone when the shooting took place.
Green fired three shots, two at Klement
one taking effect in the left cheek and
coming out under the jaw. He then put
the revolver in his own mouth and pulled
the trigger. Klement is not DANGEROUSLY
hurt, but has a bad wound. Green was
about % years old and native of Rou-
mania.

P0RTLAED'S P0LYGAMY CASE.
Romance Back of Suit Brought by a
Man Against His Wife and Her
Former Husb1nd

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. pa some
what romantic story of the supposed dead
returning to life again came to light in
justice McDevitts court to-day when
Henry Dodge of Woodburn Wood LAWN
caused the arrest of his wife and her
former husband, T. Stephenson, on a
charge of polygamy. A curious combina-
tion OF circumstances will be unfolded
when the tale is told in court tomorrow.
Henry Dodge, the complaining witness
and husband of the woman, Mrs. S. R.
Dodge, wants to know who his wife's $
rightful husband Is. According to her
story she has been Henry Doidg wife
Tor nearly twenty years, supposng all the
time that her first mate, Stephenson, was
dead
twenty years ago Mrs. Dodge was Mrs.
stephenson. Stephenson was in poor cir
cumstances and he decided to go to Texas
to make his fortune. Husband and wife
corresponded regularly for while. He
fell i'll among strangers and in course of
time, hearing nothing more of him, Mrs
Stephenson believed him dead. From
that day husband and wife were lost to
one another. Finally Stephenson drifted
back to the north and went to W ork on the
Astoria-Goble Railroad.
One day woman came to the camp to
cook for the railroad hands. She formed
Stephenson's acquaintance and told him a
story OF the wrongs and abuse inflicted
upon her by Dodge, who. she said, neither
supported herself nor her six children.
This woman was his first wife. Stephen
son came to Portland and began to pro-
vide for his former wife and children.
Dodge could not DE expected to like this
state OF affairs very well, and so he had
both of them arrested. partly because of
| resentment at his wifes former husband
assuming to provide for his neglected
family, and because, also, he would like to
know whose claim is valid.

some of the old-timers will be pulled out
of the slough and put in commission be-
fore the month Is out.
Yesterday the City of Stockton brought
down 200 tons of wheat for the General
Millenet The ship was hot ready to re-.
ceive ii, and even if she had been the rain
would have prevented the unloading
Consequently the Stockton had to go to
the seawall and unload there. Eppinger
d Co. will thus nave to pay double wharf
age, and to say that the head of the firm
was angry does not adequately descri be
the scene.
Tne Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
Orzaba has more freight offering than she
can carry for Mexican ports. In conse-
quence Goodall, Perkins & Co. will put an
extra boat on and all the Christmas goods
due in the Gulf of California next month
will get there on time. The chances are
that the Coos Bay will make another run
on the southern route.
Piper, Alden, Goodall & Co.'s steamer
Sunol has received thorough overhaul
ing and is again on the Vallejo route
Chief En- gineer Pryor saw to it that her
engines were in thorough repair. and he
is now willing to bet dollars to doughnuts
that the Sunol can beat the Herald twenty
lengths in straight mile run.
The Spreckels tug Reliance, with her new
corrugated" propeller, he'd a brush with
~.
6preckels was on the Active. so it goes
without saying that both vessels did their
best. The Reliance started about three
boats lengths behind the Active and beat
her out boats length in the run to
Sausalito.
In consequence Mr.. Spreckels ordered
one of the new wheels put on the Czarina
as soon as she is ready for it on the dry-
dock. The new wheel takes the water
quicker and makes more revolutions going
astern than any propeller that has vet
been fitted to tug. Captain ''Gill''
Brockaw is enthusiastic in his praise of
the invention, ami says that now the Re-
lance can beat any tug in the bay, either
in speed or towing.
Captain "Pete" OFT, one of the pilots,
reports the loss of the whistle from the
whlstlIng- buoy, and the Lighthouse in
spectors have sent out the following:
Notice to Mariners, San Francisco Bar, Cali
fornia-lt is reported that the whistling buoy
outside San Francisco Bar, California, is not in
working order. the whistle having been
broken. This buoy will be replaced at the
earliest practicable date.
ms notice affects the List of Beacons and
Buoys, Pacihc Coast 1895. page 18.
The steamer City of Sydney was to have
sailed tor Central American ports on the
18th inst, but owing to the amount of
freight offering, the date of her departure
has been postponed to Decem ber 1. Can
tain Frank Johnson is more than thank
full, as he will now be able to thoroughly
digest his Thanksgiving dinner before he
again goes to sea.

RAIS DAUNts THEM NOT
Berkeley Football Nen Practice in tn.
Muddy Street.

BERKELEY, CAL, Nov. %. The
Berkeley football men are practicing for
their Thanksgiving game with Stanford
rain or shine, and will continue to do SO
I'D to the very last moment. Notwith-
standing the torrent which fell all after
noon and the wet and slippery condition
OF the ground the Varsity eleven came out
: and went through series of eyolutions
with the ball which extended over an
. hour. The practice field being so yery
muddy the roadway to the rear of North
AND South halls was selected for their
emaneuvers.
:. The heavy pounding work of the season
having already been finished, the men de-
voted themselves to sharp, snappy signal
practice, and to the perfecting of several
new new plays which will be sprung on the
Palo Alto men in the intercollegiate. The
players seemed to put enough energy and
dash into their work, but the inattention
;. 10 signals was a marked defect in their
. play. On account of his not making the
play as indicated by the signal, Captain
=: hansome received an ugly cash over the
right eye by coiliding with one of the men
If. front of him. While the wound will not
disqualify him from playing in the
Thanksgiving game, it will be source of
much discomforture to the great fullback.
and will probably prevent him from do
ing as eIIectlVe KICKING as ne might under
other circumstances.
Eddie Sherman was not well enough to
practice this evening, and Whipple was
put in.his place at half.
: Almost at the last moment fortune
seems to have turned against Berkeley,
for both of her star players-Sherman and
Ransome-have had their injuries and
ailments redoubled, and, though both will
enter the game, they will not by any
means be up to their normal form. The
disabling of some of the best men on the
team almost on the very eve of battle has
ever been Berkeley's misfortune. for it
happened last year and the year before
and still the year before that.
Though it will not be definitely known
until lew hours before the great game
who will constitute the team, yet from a
study of the men and their ability rea-
sonabiy accurate conclusion can be
reached. The following men lined up to-
oay on the Varsity eleven, all of whom
MI MIL probably play in the team, excepting
WnIpple and WaIlthail, some doubt ex-
Istlng as to the putting in of the latter on
account OF his comparatively poor condi-
