MARINE COMPANY SEEKS
SAN PEDRO FRONTAGE
Trustees VIII Decide Important Fran
chise Question at Meeting
Toniuht

Trustees of San Pedro will decide to-
night whether the Yacht and Marine
Supply company is to be given the
privilege of bidding in a franchise for
dock frontage of 800 feet on the outer
harbor a proposition which the Ban
ming company is fighting bitterly. The
frontage is directly west Of the 1900 feet
given to H. e. Huntington a month
ago and his position is believed to be
the same as that of the Bannings.
President Wier and Trustee Martin
would comply with the request Of the
supply company. Trustee Mahar,
agent of the Bannings, and Trustee
Tilton oppose the proposition. The
question will be decided by the vote of
the fifth trustee, George H. Peck who
returned to San Pedro yesterday after
long absence.
The Yacht and Marine Supply COM
pany, which now has property inter-
ests at Terminal island, acting through
its president, Joseph Fellows, seeks the
frontage for the purpose of building a
marine railway for the docking of ships
UP to 1900 tons.
If the franchise is put on sale and
he is the successful bidder he offers to
commence work within six months and
to expend $4,000 with the expectation
of increasing this amount three fold
before the railway is fully completed.
H. E. Huntington obtained his fran
chise for fifty years as gift from the
citizens of San Pedro. Fellows asks
merely that he be given an opportunity
to purchase a twenty year franchise.

CITY ATTORNEY BEGINS
BIG SCHOOL BOND SUIT
w. 3. Mathews Goes North to Fight
Case Before Supreme Court
of California

City Attorney w. B. Mathews left
yesterday afternoon for San Francisco
to personally represent the city before
the supreme court Of the state in the
school bond suit.
Owing to the fact that the supreme
court of California had never decided
on the constitutionality of the issuance
of bonds by school district, Dillon &
Hubbard, the New York bond attor-
neys, declined to put their official rec
ommendation on the $4,000 issue made
few months ago by the Los Angeles
school district.
AS the Endorsement of this firm is
practically necessary before eastern
capitalists will take UP bonds the su-
pervisors of Los Angeles county re-
fused to issue the bonds. The school
board, In connection with City Attorney
Mathews and with the cooperation Of
the supervisors, decided to bring a
mandamus suit before the supreme
court and thus have the question set
tied at once and for all time.

She heard Remarks sharp COM

the same moment that the sound Of
ripping and tearing iron reached her
ears. Then some one hurled her to-
ward a window in fog of roaring
steam. She felt the damp burning
breath all about her, and tearing of
her coat, held it before her face.
Hours seemed to pass while the
stunning, shaking blasts of escaping
steam rent the air Then suddenly
they ceased, and in the awful silence
q voice could be heard giving steady
ORDERS:
"Holding herei Close boiler stop

She could hear the sound of run

tiled floors, but though she felt the
wind Of passing figures she could dis

Of the place had something awful
about It, and the hot, moist, clinging
clouds enveloped her in their horrid
folds.
At last came the sound of opening

smiled pleasantly at Kennard across
