sent TO the war department"
Again white called attention 10 a poetic
sfztemenf made by Frye yesterday as TO
waves forty or nifty feet high
Frye sptritefiy rejected the statement
that he had ever spoken OF waves forty or
Fifty feet high. He knew ~ much about
waves. he said. as the senator from CALI
fornla- He explained TIA, his reference
vas to the dashiax Of Pacific waves ON
the rocks and breaking forty or nifty feet

yea" ssid white saresstically. 'the
rocks might bs 100 feA high"
Frye took up the evidence given by Hun.
eington. This was the man" sald the SEN
afer, referred to By White A. AN indiv:d-
ual.' and by Berry as "a man OF greed He
s. not builing the stock markets nor bear
Ing them. He 10 engaged In great enter
prises. and In all Of them he II successful,
90 that even II he be an Individual and be
greedy. the reasons that Induced him 10
change from Fan Pedro to Santa Monica
are worthy Of the confederation Of tho SEN
ose."
The senator read At length from the evil
denee Of Huntington. also the reports OF
Engineers Hood and Cortheli. When In
cldentsl reference was made 10 the fact
that the people Of Los Angeles did 10,
want = harbcr At Santa Monica. Frye said
no did not caro- what the people OF Los
Angeles wanted: they did not know what
they wanted One day they favored one
locality, tho next another. One year they
chose congressional candidates on a Plat
iorm favoring Gan Pedro: this year they
hsd chosen one on q platform favoring
Santa Monica
Berry interrupted to say that the recen,
"a Monica. but declared In favor Of all hsr-
DO projects.
This" declared Frye. was equivalent
20 an Endorsement OF the Santa Monica pro-
5ect now proposed. and was so understood
by the candidates"
Frye was followed by Perkins. who on.
posed the Santa Monica site and warmly
resented fsye's remark that the cry
asains, HUNTINGTON was "the slogan OF the
fornla.
Vest followed In favor OF settling ,ha
question on It's merits and not as a Hun
tington issue.
White closed the debate. opposing the
santa Monica proposition.
