NEWS NOTES OF SAN PEDRO
Steamer MarshfleId Will Try to Save
Remainder of Lumber on the
Schooner j. M. Coleman
Special to The Herald.


SAN PEDRO, Oct. 4.-The steamer
Marshfield came in for fuel oil this
afternoon. She is on her way from
San Diego to San Miguel island, and
will make another attempt to get the
balance of the lumber still remaining
or the wrecked schooner J. M. Cole
man. The latter is in a bad condition
and cannot be saved. One of the
Banning lighters, while partly loaded
with lumber from the Coleman, was
driven ashore by a sudden squall and
badly damaged. The Marshfield sue
ceeded, after two weeks operations at
the island, in getting about three
fourths of the cargo, which she took
to San Diego.
The Rev. George Steed has been re-
assigned to the pastorate of the Meth
odist church I'm San Pedro.
Japanese divers were at work this
morning on the partially submerged
schooner Muriel to locate the extent
of damages and make the necessary re-
pairs. The damage is considerably less
than at first believed. The hole in
the bow is about three feet in diameter
and has a large rock tightly wedged
therein. With the removal of the rock
the hole can be patched and 1t Is likely
the vessel can reach San Francisco
under her own sail, where she can be
placed on the dry dock and repairs
completed The discharge of lumber
is at present proceeding rapidly at
the San Pedro lumber wharf.

Plea for Pure Foods

foods.
"a subject of vital Importance to all
of us is the pure food question" she
said. "It has become national move

preparation of healthful and nutritious
food.

authorities in enacting pure food laws.

to ask for goods of known or suspected

Could Not stand 1t.

"One night some three or four
years ago / was a witness to q
scene OF such dramatic interest in
q Chicago theatre that the recol-
lection of it has remained fresh In
my memory" said Mr.. T. O.
Kempton, of New Orleans, to the
Washington Post.
81 do not now recall the name
Of the play, but it was one of the
popular war dramas that were
then in vogue and that made a
great hit with the public. Close
to me was sitting good looking
man, who might be put down as q
prosperous country merchant on a
visit to town to buy goods. In
fact, that was, as / afterward
learned, his true status. His
dress and whole appearance salts
fed me that he was a conntryman
Of mine; he looked the typical
southerner from head to toe. 1
noticed, too, that he had been
looking into the flowing bowl, al
though he was extremely decorous
in his bearing and conduct.
"The play was interesting and
my fellow southerner seemed inn
mensely absorbed in it's develop
ment. There was nothing excit-
ing, however, until the episode
where the Louisiana girl, in love
with the federal officer, betraya Sc
crets that were apt to iniure the
cause Of the South. at this point

words the play stopped and the

secret that would have hurt the
confederate cause, ana, therefore,
this whole yarn is pure product
of the imagination Of an internal
lie.'
"With that Mr.. ]. ID. Brown,
from the banks of the Brazos, sat
down, and a mighty yell Of ap.
plause went up from the audience.
It was plain that the man had
been INDUCING a bit too much, but
his honest speech was that touch
OF nature that makes the whole
world akin and so great was the
uprOar that it was a long while
before the play could be resumed.
