PARDEEs ATTEMPT TO HEDGE

After his strenuous vote-hshing eff
fort in the southland, Governor Pardee
returned to his oakland home and COM
muned with himself. Then ne took his
pen In hand and wrote to the effect
that in statements made by him in Los
Angeles concerning the ovens river
water matter he Inadvertently omitted
to say that he was merely quoting Inyo
county opinions He wrote. further,
my knowledge Of Los Angeles water
necessities causes me to realize that
city must Immediately have adequate
water supply" Then he sent the OUT
put by telegraph to one Of his Los An
geles henchmen, for perusal by this
community.
The governor might as well have
saved the cost Of his telegram. Not one
Los Angeles person in a hundred cares
a Ventura county bean what George G.
Pardee says or thinks. and but little
what he does. He done his level best
to balk the water project at a critical
time when It was possible for him to do
LUIS AHkeleb an Injury. me llIle VI
such possibility has passed. His recent
appearance here as vote seeker was
an amazing display OF gall, and his
subsequent proceedings interested no
citizens except the little coterie who
have gubernatorial axes to grind.
But 1t chafes Los Angeles on the raw
to see the governor add insult to in
Jury" In the assumption that he could
subdue the local ire by declaring, at
this late day, that he realizes "Los An
geles must Immediately have adequate
water supply" 1t is not matter of
the slightest concern to this community
what the governor realizes at present.
What he will realize later, however, is
another matter. On or about next No
vember he will realize that the people
OF Los Angeles have none of the canine
characteristics that accept caress in
return for a kick

ALREADY A WORLD PORT

The port of San PEDRO will be SER
the end Of the present month. That is
an assurance derived from the report
OF the United States engineer, in charge
of the harbor work, for the month of
completion, but the accommodation will
be ample, within a few weeks for the
types of the largest class Of vessels
that floated only few years ago.
According to the engineers report
the outer harbor work, at the end of
this month, will afford a clear channel
to the inner harbor 400 feet wide and
twenty-five feet deep at low tide. That
vessels plying across the Pacific with
the exception of a few immense craft
recently put into service on San Fran
cisco and Seattle lines. Adding the ad-
ditional depth afforded by high tide, of
which advantage is taken at most ports
by vessels of deep draft. the San Pedro
channel as described would admit any
vessel that piled the Pacific three
years ago.
San Pedro harbor may be rated now
as ready to handle such commerce as
is carried by nine tenths of vessels
that enter Pacific coast ports. 1t is not
necessary to wait longer for start in
establishing direct trade between San
Pedro and the Japanese and Chinese
ports which are termini of established
steamship lines.
But will 1t pay" to sprout such COM
mercial lines at this stage of harbor
and trade development? Six years ago
the Santa Fe Railway company demon
strated that it was a paying proposition
to operate a steamship line between
San Diego and the oriental ports. The
company brought immense quantities
OF cotton from Texas to Los Angeles.
hauling it thence 100 miles to San Diego
for shipment because there was no
suitable harbor nearer. Within the six
years since that time San Pedro harbor
has been made available, the business
and population of Los Aneles have
doubled, and third transcontinental
railway feeder has come to the port
All conditions are ripe for be-
ginning in the development of trade
relations between San Pedro and the
orient, and also between that port and
the ports of Central and South America.

POLICE SELL ICE CREAM
BRICKS; SURPRISE OWNER
HE WAS TRYING TO GET LICENSE
IN MEANTIME
Ignorant Of City Laws, Small Mer-
chant Set Up a Stand and the
BIuecoat Was Compelled to Do
His Duty

When Thomas Wiley, who conducts
small news stand and ice cream
table at Third and Hill streets, was
asked to go to the police station yes
terday afternoon in custody of an Of
fioer he little realized what a stroke of
business 1t was.
Wiley was arrested for doing busi-
ness without license, but on his plea
of ignorance of the city ordinances he
was permitted to go to the city hall
and obtain a license.
His table was taken to the station,
together with an ice chest filled with
tiny ice cream bricks.
While Wiley was being instructed
about the law by the prosecuting at
torney the officers downstairs institu-
ted an ice cream sale. Big Jailer Nc
Caulley, appointed as auctioneer, rapid
ly sold the ice cream at five cents a
brick.
The day was hot and the officers were e
all in need of a cooling repast Those
who were without change promptly
borrowed the money from the desk

BY the time Wiley came downstairs
his ice cream was sold and he was
presented by big Mac" with the pro-
ceeds of the sale.
Wiley was overjoyed at the kindness s
on the part of the policemen, and said
they had raised more than enough to
pay for a license.

JUST WATCH US GROW"

The local postoffice contributes some
evidence, that will not be disputed,
bearing on the question whether Los
Angeles was affected injuriously by
the earthquake-fire calamity at San
Francisco. The postal receipts of the
local Office for July footed up $705 538. .64.
For the same month last year it was
$52,6766O. That is a percentage of SS 80
increase within year. a fraction bet
ter than one-third. At the same rate
of increase the business of the postof-
flee would double in little less than
three years.
1t should be noted, just here, that no
month in the year is less favorab BILE
than July for showing increase in the
city's postal business The tide of
tourist visitors is at the ebb in that
month, and considerable element of
the residential population is out of
town. The percentage of gain for Los
Angeles was greater than for any other
of the fifty most prominent cities of
the United States. although there were
gains in all the rest except Columbus,
Ohio.
There is no doubt that the splendid
showing Of this city's postal business
for July is I'm part due to the large
influx from San Francisco during last
month of homeseeksrs and business
men. It is known that the number Of
persons from that city seeking resi-
dence here has been much larger with
in the past few weeks than 1t was at
any former period since the calamity.
And the volume of such arrivals is
still increasing, as is shown by the
number of San Francisoans that have
come here in the first two weeks of
August,
II is intimated that the new city di-
rectory, now nearly ready to be issued.
viii indicate a present population of
Los Angeles well above the quarter
million mark. But that is not strange
when we remember that the building

THREE BLONDES
LOST TO FRIENDS
ALL ANSWER DESCRIPTION OF
TEMESCAL VICTIM
Friends, Wishing to AvoIr NotorIety
Conceal Names-John Chapman
Says Slain Woman Is
Mrs. Powers

Three blonde women, all of whom
have gold-filled teeth and who answer
descriptions of the Temescal canyon
victim, are being sought by Los An
geles county officers in the hope of
establishing the identity of the mur-
dered woman.
Missing Nurse
One of the missing women is Miss
Mcdonald. Her mother is a nurse, and
as there are half dozen nurse Nc
Donalds in Los Angeles the detectives
are seeking additional information.
A young man who refused to give his
name asked the detectives for a de-
scription of the body buried at Santa
Monica. He was directed to confer
with Sheriff White, Coroner Trout and
Undertaken Guidinger at Santa Monica.
The informant declared Miss Nc
Donald had gold-filled teeth.
The second woman reported missing
was last seen by a male friend two
months ago at 42O South Grand avenue.
He said a local dentist had filled an
eye tooth for her. The landlady at 42O
South Grand avenue declared that none
Of her women guests was missing, and
added that the rumor was a malicious
one.

Capt. Broadhead was visited two
months ago by blonde woman, who
asked him for advice In escaping from
man who threatened to kill her IL she
did not continue to supply him with
funds.
She met him in San Francisco last
winter. When he borrowed what
money she had saved she began to feel
that he was not the ideal friend she
first regarded him, and she came to
Los Angeles. The woman sold dress
patterns. She appeared to be really
afraid that the man, who had followed
her to Los Angeles, would take her life.
She Informed the captain that she
had relatives in Michigan. He advised
her to send word to the man that she
then to continue her work of canvass
ing. She has failed since to report the
result to Capt. Broadhead.
Says He Knows
John Chapman of Santa Monica de-
clared that the woman found in Temes-
cal canyon by "Posey" Horton, his
brother-in-law. was Mrs. Emma
Powers, whose disappearance was re-
ferred to in The Herald last week.
Chapman made this statement:
"If they will pay me enough 1 will go
and place my hand upon the murderer.
The man who killed Mrs. Powers met
her while she was working at my
boarding house He left day or two
before she disappeared"
Beyond this Chapman would give no
facts.
Deputy Sheriff Gilbert again saw Mrs.
Chapman. who is a sister OF "Posey''
Horton. Monday. She told him the
story about Mrs. Powers. and, 1t is be-
lieved, gave him the name of a man
she suspects. Gilbert is in the country
hunting for this man. He took the
murdered woman's skirt with him in
cidentally and will try to find out If any
woman wearing such a skirt was seen
at any dances recently.
