LONG BEACH CROWDED WITH
SIGHTSEERS
NO FURTHER ARRESTS MADE
Officers Have Three Suspects Under
Surveillance and Developments
Hourly Expected-Trustees
Meet This Afternoon

Thousands of visitors thronged to
Long Beach yesterday from all points
in Southern California to view the re-
suits of the work of the dynamiters and
firebugs who have created reign Of
terror in the beautiful beach city. 1t
was probably the largest Sunday crowd
at Long Beach in its history and the
streets in the vicinity of the homes Of
Marshal Conklin and Mayor Emo were
thronged all day with the curious
visitors.
There were no further arrests up to
last midnight, although three suspects
are under constant surveillance of the
police and will continue to be watched
until the detectives conclude investiga-
tions which now tend to implicate them
with the outrages.
Developments are expected today,
when it is probable that two Of the sus-
poets will be arrested. Evidence so far
collected encourages the belief that the
dynamiting was committed by at least
two persons, and others are suspected
of having guilty knowledge of the
wrecking of Conklin's house and the
attempt to burn Mayor Eno's home.
Mayor Emo has not arrived at a
definite decision regarding his resigna-
tion, but 1t is not expected that he will
take any action in this regard for sew
eral weeks, if at all.
Urge Mayor to Continue
Numerous citizens called on the
mayor yesterday and protested against
his consideration of any thought of re-
offering a guard Of citizens as
a protection for his property and to
allay the fears of his aged parents for
his safety.
The return Of the mayor and express
sions of friendship by his business as
sociates have tended to quiet the fears
of his parents, and Mrs I. L. Emo, his
said last night:
"I do not want people to think my
son is afraid to do his duty and I think
now he should continue in his office
Friends, in urging him to remain in
office, pointed out the fact that his
resignation at this time would not ap-
pear so much a surrender to his politi-
cal enemies as 1t would be the unload
ing Of dangers and responsibilities upon
another man, Trustee Oakford, chair
man Of the police and sanitary COM
mittees and vice chairman of the board
Trustees Meet
The trustees meet this afternoon and
will consider steps to be taken in aid of
the officers in apprehending the persons
guilty Of the repeated outrages against
public safety and private property with
in the last few months.
1t is probable that the action Of the
police committee in offering $500 re-
ward for the arrest OF the culprits will
be indorsed and the amount increased
to probably $1,000.
An attempt will also be made to
untangle the police muddle. Marshal
Conklin's thirty days allowance in time
will expire August 27 and the ONCE viii
become vacant on that day. The trus-
tees Will appoint his successor In the
meantime to permit him to qualify and
take once promptly.
TO secure harmony in the department
1t is urged by all factions that person
who has not been identified with either
the conklin or the Folsom factions be
chosen. conlSlin will not be reinstated,
and friends OF Folsom on the board win
not consider him in the race. so It is
evident that the successor to Conklin |
win be selected from outside the circle
OF political friends OF either man.
Another question which viii come
before the board IL the election to hs
held Wednesday TO vote upon the propo- |
sition OF annexation Of Terminal Island |
