DRAG ENGINE TOWARD FIRE
Runaway Team at Pasadena Takes
Proper Course Although Driver
Misses His Seat
Special 70 The Herald


PASADENA. Aug. IA slight blaze
in the rear room of the 7Bassett Bros.
barber shop on East Colorado street
late this afternoon afforded the occa-
sion for a very spectacular runaway,
in which the Dayton street engine horses
figured.
When the alarm was received the
prancing horses were hitched to the
big engine and started out of the front
doors at the engine house with such a
rush that Driver Fuller failed to reach
lines trailing beside the running harses
and endeaVored to stop them.
Just east of the Dayton street engine
house a deep ditch is being dug to lay
some pipes, and the pluclSy driver was
jerked into this ditch in the twinkling
of an eye, forcing him to relinquish his
hold.
fire, with no one to guide them through
the crowded streets.
At Raymond avenue they turned
northward. People generously yielded
the road to the runaways.
Several persons attempted to capture
the horses. Robert Mercer was among
those who tried to stop the running
horses.
He caught the bit of one horse.
and although dragged for full block
clung desperately until others came to
his assistance a few yards north OF
the Colorado street crossing, where
the team was brought to standstill
Luckily nothing was broken and the
run to the fire was delayed only a few
minutes. the horses taking the general
direction toward the fire.
The fire was quickly extinguished,
with but slight loss.
August is perfect al Coronado Tent city.

THEATER STANDS
OUTSIDE LIMITS
SANTA M0NICA'S BOUNDARIES
AGAIN IN DISPUTE
Los Angeles theatrical Men De.
mand Recession Of Lease and
Beach cltys Hopes Go
ollmmerlna

The old dispute over the boundary
line between Ocean Park and Santa
Monica, which has fathered many
suits In the local courts, yesterday ap-
peared as the leading factor in a suit
for recession of lease filed with the
county clerk by H. c. Wyatt and John
A. Mason, theatrical managers of Los
Angeles, against the G.. N. Brundage
company, r. l.. Somers and d. G..
Crookshank.
AS a result Of the suit the people Of
Ocean Park and Santa Monica are to
learn the answer to a question which
has been asked hundreds of times by
them:
when are we going to have a COM
pany at the new theater in Ocean
Park?" and the answer, If determined
in favor of Wyatt, will be, Never"
Some months ago Wyatt, according
to his complaint filed yesterday, agreed
to furnish a good company for thea
ter at Santa Monica, provided that
Crookshank and Somers built to suit
him.
Completed Year
The edifice was erected and the peo-
pie of Ocean Park rejoiced, for 1t
graced one of the best streets of the
little beach city. The building was
completed almost year ago and Man
9ger Wyatt was called upon to place
the theater in the list of his circuit
and trot out a good company.
But Wyatt thought differently, and
after looking over the theater he in
formed the officers of the Brundage
company, who had taken charge of the
theater, that he would not accept the
building because 1t was unsafe for the
people.
Wyatt now alleges that no alterations
have been made in the theater and that
as it stands it is not safe for the pub
lie and would not be passed by fire
Inspector.
Furthermore, Wyatt alleges that an
other article of agreement has not been
observed, because the theater, instead
of being built in Santa Monica, as or
dered, has been built in Ocean Park.
In that particular the suit only adds
another victim to the list of suits oc-
casioned by the peculiar conditions in
the beach district.
Cities Overlap
Santa Monica overlaps Ocean Park
so that the city limits of Santa Monica
form one of the main streets in the
heart of Ocean Park, and Ocean Park
extends into Venice, so that it is hard
to tell whether or not a building is
erected in one city or the other, and
even old residents of the beach cities
do not know whether they are living
in Venice, Ocean Park or Santa Monica.
Wyatt now alleges that the theater Is
over the line and in the limits of Ocean
Park and that the contract is worth
less, being made so by the men, who
built the theater.
So, for the remainder of the summer
season the case will be fought out in
court and the pretty beach theater will
be untenanted, and after that, should
the Wyatt faction win, it is doubtful
whether the beachers will ever be
treated to more than some amateur
performance inside their show house.

BELL DEFEATS
HOLTZ ON FOUL
Special to The Herald.


VENICE, Aug. 1.-The first of the
preliminaries in the races for the Pa
cific coast one-mile roller skating cham-
pionship held here tonight resulted in
Ray HOltz, the holder of the title, losing
on a foul to Artie Bell.
At the crack of the pistol Bell jumped
to the front and had a lead of full
three yards at the first turn.
Holtz closed up the gap before the
second turn was reached, and from then
until he fouled Bell on the fourth lap
was foiled repeatedly in his attempts
to take the lead.
Holtz apparently could not get by
Bell without humping him, and several
times he was forced to put on brakes
to keep from running Bell down.
At the beginning of the fourth lap
Holtz came alongside of Bell, but had
to give way on the turn and as the
men, inches apart, started into the
stretch Holtz brushed by, Bell imme-
diately going over on his side to the
floor and claiming a foul, which, ac-
oording to the agreement entered into
by the men, had to be allowed by the
judges.
About 400 persons witnessed the race
and the general opinion seemed to be
that Holtz proved himself the speedier
skater.
Tomorrow night there will be a race
between C. w. Downs and Spencer Ed
wards, and on Friday night T. Doody
will meet an unknown.
The judges of the race tonight were
C. e. Perkins, Jack Wade and t. Hut
ton; timekeepers, Dunham Patton and
r. Daniels.
On Saturday night the finals will be
raced and a purse of 500 will go to the
winner, along with the championship.

Motorman and Conductor Said to
Have Been Discharged by
Trolley company-All Vic
Tins Recovering

No action has been taken so far by
the district attorneys office to issue
warrants charging manslaughter
against A. l.. Smith, conductor, and
Silas Perkins, motorman of the Sierra
Madre car which was wrecked Satur-
day afternoon near Oneonta Park.
Deputy District Attorney McComas,
who is in charge during the illness of
Captain j. d. Fredericks, said yester-
day no move would be made against
any of the carmen unless on complaint
of some responsible party.
1t was intimated a warrant would be
issued If one was asked for but the
office did not feel inclined to take the
initiative, especially during the absence
of District Attorney Fredericks.
Three Men Discharged
1t is understood both men have been
discharged from the employ of the Pa
cific Electric company and will prob
ably leave Los Angeles soon in search
of other employment.
Motorman w. r. Peiffer of the Pico
Heights car which crashed into a Grand
avenue car Saturday night, resulting
in the death of A. A. Umann, is also
said to be out of employment.
The coroner's jury found him guilty
of gross carelessness, but made no
recommendation of criminal action.
The funeral of Mrs. Flora Zobel, one
of the victims of the Oneonta Park dis
aster, was held yesterday morning from
her late residence, 1143 Westlake ave-
nue.. Burial was in the Jewish ceme-
terry.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral of William Kellogg, who
died Monday night from injuries sus-
tanned Saturday afternoon. His father,
William e. Kellogg of Seattle, is ex-
pected to arrive today. His son was
visiting with his sisters at Sierra Madre
and were returning to their home at the
time of the accident.
All Will Recover
1t is believed no more fatalities will
result from the Oneonta Park collision.
Miss Blanche st. George recovered
consciousness at the Pacific hospital
yesterday morning and was able to
speak to her physician, DR.. M. L.
Loomis. She sustained conclusion of
the brain and her life was despaired Of,
but now it is thought she will recover.
Other victims of the wreck are rapidly
recovering.
Coroner Trout said last night he hopes
to continue the inquest, begun Tuesday,
early next week.
A number OF the injured people will
be able to testify by that time, 1t is
thought, and clear away the doubt as
to which of the car crews was directly
responsible for the accident.
A. M. Smith and w. e. Hickey, line
men for the Edison Electric company,
who were witnesses of the accident, will
be summoned to testify at the forth
coming inquest.

PRINTING QUESTION IS
SETTLED AT SAN PEDRO
special to The Herald,

SAN PEDRO, Aug. 1-At the meet
ing of the board of trustees held last
night the perplexing printing question
was at last settled. The contract had
been awarded to the two papers of
the city at previous meeting of the
board, but the document had not been
signed by the chairman, and it was
thought that he would refuse to affix
his signature to 1T. A new city attor-
ney has been appointed, and he has ex-
pressed an opinion that the contract
is illegal. The question was discussed
at length, with the result that the
trustees signed the necessary docu-
ment. Much dissatisfaction is expressed
with the action of the board, but it
will probaly now stand.
Two special, Officers were appointed
by the board to act on police duty.
They are Sanford #. Love and Clyde
Davenport. Plans for taking care of
the city's garbage were also consid-
cred to the end that a team and wagon
VIII be purchased by the city and a

FAIL TO LAND ON
MEX|CO'S COAST
SAN PEDRO STEAMER BACK
FROM STRANGE TRIP
Customs Authorities at Ensenada Mo-
titled the Voyagers That They
Would Have to Proceed to
Definite Port
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SAN PEDRO, Aug. IA deputation
of men who had gone to Mexico a
short time ago on a special errand,
returned to this port yesterday and
acknowledged their trip a fruitless one.
Last Thursday, July 26, the steamer
Orient, under command of Capt Ed
Duffy, was chartered by three men
from Los Angeles, f. Falco. s. Rudio
and John Smith, all naturalized
Frenchmen, to make a trip to the
Mexican shores for a purpose which
these men would not make public.
A crew was taken aboard and the
little steamer which is the fastest boat
of its size on the coast, provisioned for
a twenty -five-day trip.
Yesterday afternoon the vessel and
men returned with the story that it
was mining expedition they had gone
on, but that they were thwarted by
the Mexican authorities at Ensenada.
They had expected to go to a point
on the coast about 300 miles below En-
senada, but the customs men at that
port told them they would not be al
lowed to land at that place, as there
was no collector there, but that they
would have to go on to Domingo, some
distance beyond.
AS this would necessitate a ride over
mountains and hills on mules for some
fifteen or twenty days, the three men
concluded that they did not want to
go that way and would return and
try and make the trip some other way.
What the three men wanted to do
still remains a mystery, as they stated
to the captain Of the boat that they
did not desire to remain at the point
where they wanted to land more than
one day.
Mining interests, however, are sup
posed to be the magnet of attraction.
August is perfect at Coronado Tent city
