SANTA MONICA SURPRISED
AT HER REGISTRATION
Special 10 The Herald.


SANTA MONICA, Oct. 20.-The report
o. the recent registra tion of this dis
trct showing a voting population of
1873 has caused considerable surprise
and disappointment here, as the figures
are far below general expectations and
only sixty-two in advance of the regis
tration two years ago.
The falling off in numbers has all
taken place in the districts now known
as Nos. 1, and 3, but which at the
former registration We're all contained
in what was known as district No. 1.
This territory at that time extended
south from Front street as far back as
Eighth street, and contained Gil voters.
The same territory. as well as all the
section back to Seventeenth street,
which was taken i'm by recent anneXa-
tion, is now divided into three districts,
but the present total voting population,
as shown by the great register, is
only Az.
An increased registration is shown in
all other parts of the city.
The registration by precincts is as
follows: No. l, 212; No. 9. 1885, No. 8,
80; No. 4, 251; No, 5. 3o2 No. G, 1871; No.

PASADENA, oct 2O--Pasadena had
about ali the weather 1t could stand
this afternoon and as a result of the
strenuous breeze fifteen-acre section
of Altadena was entirely burned over
and a four tory construction tower,
Slpon which We're three workmen, was
blown down.
That no residences were burned in
Altadena and none Of the workmen
Killed seems almost a miracle.
The Altadena fire started late IN
the afternoon and ragged from half
block south of Piedmont avenue to
Palm ON the north and from Los Ro-
bles on the west almost to Santa Anita
avenue on the east.
The weeds had grown to great size
in this section and the small fire was
quickly famed into a roaring furnace
by the wind.
Back firing was resorted to In part
and some OF the residents, the mem
bers Of the amateur fire brigade OF
Altadena, used sacks soaked in water
to beat the flames. Even with these
exertions the flames were not checked
until the boundary, streets were
reached
Fortunately there was no residence
within the limits to which the fire was
confined.
The tower which blew over was
built of light timbers to aid in the
construction of the new Braly build
ing. 1t arose sheer from the center
of the building site for nearly fifty
feet.
Ralph Gavel was working upon the
top of the tower with Walter Perkins
and another workman lower down.
Suddenly a gust of wind, increased
in violence nv being confined among z
the tall buildings surrounding the
Braly block, came along and the en-
tire tower was toppled over
Gavel's life was saved by a single
fact The distance from the base of
the tower 70 the side of the Hender-
son-King building was orly about
fortv-two feet whereas the tower was
fifty feet tan. It's top caught on the
Henderson King block and Gavel
jumped to the roof. Even then he
had a fri~h +ful full. as the Henderson,
King building is but two stories high.
Gavel was thrown clear across the
roof of the building and he suffered
many cuts and bruises. besides being
badly wren ched about the hips. His
body WIS considerably c"t bv sp'int-
