ToReERsEN,s PREsENTIMENT.
Boy Who Found Hays Body Tells
Strange Story.

Strange Story.
Following the statement of James
Sharp that he had a revelation that the
body of James Hay would be exhumed
within twenty-four hours in a field
near Mortensen's home, comes the
story Of another strange presentiment.
Frank TOrgersen. the youth who dis
covered the grave and brought to light
its CHASTITY contents. says that he also
had revelation or suggestion.
Had not young TOTgersen resisted
this force the shocking sequel to James
r. Hays disappearance would have
been known within a few hours of the
commission of the crime that cut short
his life. 1t has been demonstrated that
Hay was killed about 10 o'clock Mon
day night. Before that hour Tuesday
morning the fact Of his disappearance
was under discussion at the Forest
Dale grocery and market near by, when
TOrgersen stepped in. Something
swept over his mind impelling him to
search a tract down the railroad track
where there is heavy growth Of bulrs
He went so far as to climb on the
fence and peer over the field. Had he
not overcome the inexplicable desire
within him his course would have taken
him TO the spot where Hay lay buried.

WORK FOR SAN Pedro HARBoR.
Efforts Being Made in Congress to
Improve Port.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, Jan. 24.-CongreSsman
McLachlin of Los Angeles. Cal, made
statement today regarding the eff
forts southern California members Of
congress are making in behalf of the
inner harbOr improvements for San
Pedro. His views are particularly in
teresting in the light of the proposed
construction of the San Pedro, Los
Angeles & Salt Lake railway.
Mr.. McLachlin said:
My great interest in this congress
is in securing an appropriation for the
improvement of the inner harbor at
San Pedro. According to the reports Of
the engineers already published, by the
expenditure of $1,000, 600 on the in
side harbor at San Pedro we will
have there one of the three or four
best harbors in the world. I do
not believe that the full appro-
priation of $2.000000 can be Sc
cured at this session. but I am espec-
tally anxious that liberal apprOprIa-
ton shall be made to begin that irQ-
provement according to the plans of
the engineers above referred to. From
the information I already have 1 have
reason TO hope that my ambition in
this direction will be fulfilled.
If we can secure an appropriation of

! cording TO the engineers plans, Sail
/ be satisfied with the work at this ses-
! sion. Mr.. Burton, the chairman of the
! port committee, has strong personal
| convictions that the large appropria-
| ton for the building of the breakwatei
/ at San Pedro was q mistake, and If he
/ could have had HIS way that monty
would now be devoted to the improve
ment Of the inside narbor. That. how
ever, is out of the question. Since the
| visit Of Mr.. Burton TO Los Angeles last
summer he is more favorably inclined
to the Improvement OF the inside har
Dor and is giving the matter very Sc
rious and careful consideration. In
| fact, he believes that money should be
| wisely and Judiciously expended upOr
that enterprise and I am led to believe
from conversations with him, though
! have no positive assurance of the
same, that he will favor an appropria-
| ton to begin that work.
We are having daily hearings be
fore the committee at the present time

mittee to close such hearings by the
18th of this month and 10 report the
bill by the 9Th OF February next"

generosity:
