Steps Taken to Provide a HarbOr For
Deep Vessels.
A bill has been prepared at the sug-
gestion of the Niagara Falls chamber of
commerce, which will be presented to
the New York legislature, providing
for the amendment of the city charter
SO that the city can bond itself for
500, 900 to build docks, wharfs, slips,
piers and basins and retain title in the
property thus acquired. It provides that
the name of the port be changed from
that of "the port of Suspension Bridge"
Z to "the port Of Niagara Falls. " Plans
and surveys have been made. Owing to
the fact that three basins can be provid-
ed for a harbor, with a dock and wharf
frontage of about five miles, the United
States government will be asked to
make an appropriation large enough to
deepen the channel thereabout so that
the heaviest draft lake steamers can
go to the docks.
Elevators for grain, coal trestles and
| lumber docks will be constructed and a
bid made for the traffic in the products
| in addition to ore and other freight.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Formal Opening of the New Register for
1896
The large register which will be used at
the chamber of commerce for the year
1896 was formally opened yesterday morn
ing. The book is the largest of its kind in
the world, and is well worthy of notice for
that alone. When, however. it is consid-
cred that such volume is necessary TO
contain the names of the great number
who visit the institution during the year,
the fact is of especial significance. W. C.
Patterson, president of the chamber of
commerce, headed the first page with his
signature, and the space below was filled
bv the direc ors, the secretary and the en-
ployes about the building.
The t,tai registration of names for the
day amounted TO 175, completely filling
seven of the large pages. Of this nuInhs r
many were from the city and surrounding
towns, but the majority were tourists.

VICTIM OF FEE GRABBERS
Robert Welch Is Made to Suffer by
Them
Redondo Beach Justice Olives Him Ton Days
for Vagrancy Despite He Has Written
Proof to the Contrary

Robert WeIch, a veteran of the late civil
war, is the last victim of the fee-grabbing
officials of this county which has been re-
ported to date. Welch is SO years of age
and is doing ten days time in the county
Jail for vagrancy.
The facts surrounding the arrest and inn
prisonment of Welch go to illustrate fully
the methods which prevail in official cir.
cles in this county to get a few dollars in
fees out Of the county treasury.
Welch is an inmate OF the soldiers home.
One week ago today he left there on a
thirty-day furlough. He took with him his
blankets and clothes. which he had tied in
bundle, and went to Redondo Beach.
AT kedondo there is constable named
Blanchard. Being on the lookout for a
fee, he promptly arrested Welch for
vagrancy and took him before Justice
Wtherell for trial. Despite the fact that
the man had on his person prima facie
evidence that he was no vagrant, his fur
Tough from the Soldiers home being proof
of the fact, he was found guilty and sem
fenced to serve ten days in Jail. This gave
the constable a fee and mileage for con-
veyng him to the county bsstile.
but not content with this, Blanchard,
when he arrived with his prisoner, a poor,
harmless old man, but perfectly sane, tried
to create the impression that he was in
sane. If he old veteran had been so de-
clared he would have been sent up to the
asylum and that would have ended his
case.
AS it is Justice Witherell and the con-
stable are going to have it made decidedly
warm for them. 1t is bad enough to be
guilty of an act which looks as though it
was simply bold attempt at fee grabbing,
but TO add to that the commission of rank
injustice to a war veteran is going to far
The Grand Army members in this city
have taken hold of the case of old man
Welcb, and they propose to see to it tina.
he is not made to suffer because of the fee
grabbing propensities of Redondo Beach
justice and constable. The money was
raised yesterday to secure the services of a
competent lawyer and the case will be ap-
pealed to the superior court. Justice With
erell and Constable Blanchard will be
called down.
