OCEAN PARK, Sept. 1.-Fire broke
out in the rear of Wilson & Co.'s cleo

at noon today, and in five minutes
after being discovered the embryo city
looked as If the inmates of a mad house
had taken possession of fits streets.
Somebody sounded the fire alarm and
Immediately the "Venice fire depart
ment" became busy, but In their haste
the firemen got the hose tangled up
and when the knots were taken out it
was found to be too short to reach from
the fire pump to the scene of the con-
1agration. Finally, after much excite
ment and hubbub, the flames were ex-
tinguished and the damage ascertained
to be of little consequence.
An addition is to be built at once

LOCAL FEELING RUNS HIGH

Greatly Exercised Over Appoint
ment, Which Threatens to
Widen the Breach
Special to The Herald.


SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 1.-THE
announcement that Speaker F. C. Pres
colt is to become registrar Of the land
office has created some surprise here
among the Republicans who expected
Prescott to be rewarded for his flop to
Flint, but hardly looked for him to get
the land office job. Whether any at
tempt will be made to prevent the ap-
pointment by President Roosevelt does
not yet seem to be settled. But it Is
safe to say that this appointment only
opens wider the breach in the Repub-
lican ranks in this county, which is
already causing all sorts of apprehen-
sion in the minds of some of the Re-
publican leaders.
Some strange malady has attacked
the horses in the Highland district,
They are suddenly taken i'll and in a
few hours die in frightful agony. Five
died in one day this week, all of them
being valuable animals. Whether 1t Is
the hay or what the cause is has not
yet been determined. The animals give
evidence of cramp collie, and it is pos
sible that the intensely hot weather has
something to do with 1t.
The possible failure to get a fran
chise in this city for the freight car
rying privilege Of the Rialto electric
line has caused the inception of a
scheme on the part of Cotton people to
build a line from Rialto to that city.
The matter is receiving encouragement
from the business men of the Hub city
and If the project should fail here it Is
more than likely that the Cotton line
will be launched. An effort will be
made to have the matter taken up by
the Cotton chamber of commerce.
Charles Andrews, a Santa Fe brake
man, had narrow escape from instant
death. He was riding on the top of
low hanging telephone wire. The wire
struck him in the face, cutting him Sc
verely, knocking him fiat on the car
top and stunning him for time. The
wonder is that he was not dragged off
the car top and killed instantly He
will be laid up in the hospital for some
time.
Rector's Resignation Accepted
The resignation of Rev. P. H. Hick-
man as rector of st. Johns Episcopal
parish in this city has been unanimous
ly accepted by the church vestry and
q move will at once be made to secure
a new pastor. 1t is possible now that
Rev. Rennison of Los Angeles will be
selected as the man who will endeavor
to draw the scattered elements of the
church together.
Some weeks ago the friction between
the various elements Of the church
reached the point at which an appeal
was sent to Bishop Johnson to remove
Rev. Hickman to another field. The
yestry refused to accept the pastors
and he went to San Pedro,
to spend the summer, but
n reality to look over new field with
1 view of locating there. The state
nent was then made by The Herald
correspondent that Rev. Hickman
would without doubt never return here
Us pastor. This prediction has proven
correct, as the leave Of absence was
lntil September / and last night his
was accepted.

JUDGE FITZGERALD TELLS OF
WATER DEAL
BUILDING RECORD FOR AUGUST
Two Prominent Pasadenans Dead.
Bicyclists Fined One Dollar Each.
Use of Preservatives Being
Investigated

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Sept. 1.-City Attorney
Fitzgerald made public this afternoon
a carefully prepared statement of the
present attitude of the administration
upon the proposed purchase of the two
local water plants. In opening his de-
desire to act as spokesman for Mayor
Waterhouse and the city council. The
statement goes into the history of the
negotiations leading up to the special
election at which the people voted to
bond the city for nearly a million dol
lars for the purchase of the properties
owned by the Pasadena Lake Vineyard
Land e. Water company and the Pasa-
dena Land & Water company. 1t calls
attention to the delay of the former
council in advertising for bids for these
new bonds and to it's rejection of all the
bids submitted and then goes on to the
two suits begun against the second
named company by South Pasadena
anu the
contemplated sale, the said suits being
still in the courts and prohibiting the
company from giving an unclouded
title.
Then the judge proceeds to later de-
velopments and tells how the two water
companies have asked the city to agree
to pay nearly $4,000 for permanent i'm
provements, made or about to be made
on the properties of the two companies.
He says that the city council has been
trying to get itemized statements of
these expenditures in order to safe
guard the people, but that the repre-
sentatives of the companies have de-
layed giving them, under one pretext or
another.
The statement Of the city attorney Of
fers the following reasons for delay in
acquiring the water companies prop
erty: First, suits against one of the
companies which forbid its sale until
the courts pass upon them; second, the
people having voted to purchase both
plants, the impossibility of proceeding
to the purchase of the one plant with
out the other; third, It would be ex-
tremely unbusinesslike to issue the
bonds voted by the people and sell
them before the property is ready to be
bought; fourth, the attitude of the two
companies in demanding money for
permanent improvements without taxi
ing the peoples representatives into
their confidence so far as to tell them
what these proposed expenditures are.
In concluding Judge Fitzgerald pro-
pounds the following questions to the |
newspapers which have been loudest IN
criticising the administration for negli-
gence in concluding the purchases au-
thorized by the people:
1. What, If any, act or acts has the
present mayor or city council done in
relation to the water plant matters
that were not proper?
g. What has the mayor and council,
or either Of them, omitted to do that in
your opinion should have been done in
this matter?
3. DO you advise that the bonds
should be sold at once and the money
paid on the purchase Of these water
