Real Estate Jumps In Response to Harbor
Reports
SAN PEDRO, Feb. 16.-Since the
statements appeared in the daily papers
that San Pedro was to get the deep
sea harbor the city has been fairly alive
with strangers, and the real estate
transfers are being summed up in large
numbers. People here, Of course, feel
somewhat elated over the bright pros
poets of getting the harbor. Your cor
respondent saw a telegram from S. M.
White to San Pedro citizen, received
this morning, stating that as yet moth
ing definite was known but all was ia
vorable for San Pedro.
Last night at 10 o'clock the county Of
fcials rounded up trio of burglars on
board the sloop Dawn. The Dawn rides
at anchor near Terminal island pavilion.
Capt. H. L. Ward left the Dawn with his
brother at $3.50 last night for this side,
and as they were about to get out of
their boat they looked toward the Dawn
and saw light aboard the craft. They
thought the vessel might be on fire, as
they left no light, so they put back to
the Dawn. They heard noises in the
hold of the vessel and quickly closed
down the hatch. One of them went for
the officers, who soon arrived upon the
scene. IL was FOUND when they tried
to remove the hatch that the burglars
below had secured 1t from the inside, so
the officers had to force 1t open, and
there were three hard looking toughs be-
low; one was about naked and was
just going to put on a suit of clothes be-
longing to the captain. They refused
to come on deck, and threatened If the
officers did not vacate they would set the
vessel on fire and take their chances.
However, at the persuasion of revolvers.
they were taken to the city jail, where
they will await preliminary examina-
tion on charge of burglary They gave
their names os John Doe, etc,

"Had You Ever a Mamma?"

A bright and pretty child not more
than years old and with deep blue eyes
and big blond curls hanging down her
back entered the Third precinct police
station in Newark Saturday in timid
way and asked:
Where is the man that sent my
mamma to jail?'
She meant Judge Eggers. He hap
pened to be within hearing, and kindly
asked her what she wanted.
Tears came to her eyes as she looked
at him. and she cried:
ooh, did you send my mamma to
jail?"
II don't know" he answered. what
is her name?"
Mrs. Wilmuth," said the child.
Then the judge remembered that a
short time before he had imposed a six
ty day sentence upon a Mrs. Wilmuth
for drunkenness, and he told the child
so. Then she astonished him by saying:
Judge, had you ever mamma?"
When he had answered her the child
broke down completely and piteously
begged for the release Of her mother.
Your mamma has been very
naughty" said the judge. "She gets
drunk and abuses her neighbors."
but she is so good to me, and love
her," sobbed the golden-haire pleader
land if you'll let her go Ill won't
let her be naughty any more. I love
her so. Please, please, oh, please let
her go!"
That was too much for the gray haired
kindhearted magistrate, and as he
turned away to order the release of Mrs.
Wilmuth he used his handkerchief Wig
orously, and his voice was husky from
bad cold" which he declared had
suddenly developed.
Several policemen and Lieut.. Dowling
too, were busy in efforts to conceal their
feelings for such scene is strange
and pathetic, even to men who are be-
lieved TO be accustomed to such things
When the woman came from her cell
Judge Eggers said:
There, my little one, take your
mamma home" and then he turned into
his private office. The child sprang
into her mothers arms, there was
kiss and quiet sob, and then they went
away hand in hand.-New York Herald.
