Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, July 17.-with ship.
ping making such gains in the past
year at this place it has been decided
that ship foundry is much needed and
steps have been taken to have one
constructed at once.
The Marine Supply company which
has done business here for several
years in a small way, will now be
greatly enlarged and a foundry for the
casting of iron repairs for ships and
engines will be placed therein. In con-
nection with the foundry will be a pat
tern shop and cupola large enough
to take care of the largest iron work
needed. This will include the work
that may develop from any contem-
plated shipbuilding. bulkheading,
dredging, leveling of hills or building
of wharves. A speciality will also be
made of brass work.
1t is currently reported that the
Metal Stamping company, a large con-
cern, has made arrangements with the
owners of the land lying east of Will
mington whereby 1t will get possession
of large tract and on it erect fac
tory. The officials of the works state
that they will employ a large number
of men and the payroll will be in excess
of $4,000 per month. While the works
will be on Long Beach territory it will
be much closer to San Pedro, and the
latter city will be benefited thereby 10y
the men spending their money here.
The passenger steamer Anvil, which
had been purchased by the California
Southern Steamship company, and
was expected to ply between this place
and Ocean Park, stopping at interme-
diate points. has been libeled at San
Francisco to the amount of $1,000 for
repairs and viii not come now. 1t is u
likely that another vessel will be
bought by the company az the amount
asked by the creditors of the vessel
named is considered in excess of it's
worth.
The people of Mob hill, in this city.
held another meeting last night TO
the question of allowing
Lieut.. Miner the privilege of taking
the dirt from their land for his fill in
the outer harbor. Attorney Denis and
Engineer Purcell appeared for Lieut.
Miner and stated the plans best for the
people to consider. 1t is likely that
the property owners of the hill will or
galize in the regular way under the
state laws so that they will be able
to do business with the people who
want the dirt

WILL SEEK A SETTLEMENT
Edison Electric Company Secures a
Conference over Pasadena
Lighting Bill
Special TO The Herald

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 17.-An effort was
made today by representatives of the
Edison Electric company to arrive al
settlement of the eight months street
lighting bill which the city has thus
far steadily refused to pay.
Judge II. II. Klamroth appeared be-
fore the council for the company and
asked that some step he taken either
to pay the bill as it stands or to say
what 1t will be willing to pay. He re-
minded the council that his clients had
offered to discount the November bill
in the sum Of $3.50.
Mayor Warehouse and one member
of the conference committee appointed
in March to consult with the Edison
people insisted that no such formal
offer had been made.
Judge Klamroth recalled the offer of
arbitration made by his clients and
stated that that offer is still open.
Quite a wordy war followed between
the two parties, ending in a tardy adj
mission that both sides had been mis-
understood
The whole bill of over $1,000 was
referred to the original committee of
conference, to which was added the
city attorney, with instructions to re-
port in two weeks.
Judge Klamroth stated that the Edi-
son people will at once place its offer
in writing and present It to the COM
mittee.

Pasadena Advertises for Fire Engine,

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, July 1.-THE city coun
ell decided today to advertise for bids
for another fire engine to add to the
present equipment of the fire depart
ment.
Arrangements Will be made IL possible
to buy this engine on time, paying for

According to the plan proposed by the
city attorney the city will offer to pay
interest on the deferred payment at the
rate of per cent.
Every possible effort will he made to
get the needed engine withou, delay,
but II is feared that from FIVE to seven
months will elapse before the much
needed addition to the department
equipment can be on the ground.

PASADENA COMMITTEE FAILS
TO RAISE MONEY
Private speeuIator outblds Board Of
Trade Representatives on Land
Desired for Convention
Hall
Pasadena Agency.
i6h East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 752.

PASADENA. July 17.-With the sale
of the desired six-acre Carmelita tract
today in the probate court to f. e.
Crawford of this city seems to disap-
pear the chance for a convention hall
for the west side, if indeed the ex-
perience in trying to push forward a
scheme, which was but little desired
by the people of that district. does not
disappoint and dishearten the leaders
in the movement as to bring about the
abandonment OF the whole scheme for
the present at least
No one represented the board of
trade convention hall committee in the
bidding this forenoon for the simple
but sufficient reason that something
less than $4,000 had been raised,
while the Crawford bid was $4,000, and
it was said that this shrewd gentle
man stood ready, if opposed, to run
the bidding up to as much as S60,00O.
There is some suggestion that pos
sibly Crawford can be prevailed upon
to dispose of his purchase to the con-
vention hall committee, for a con-
sideration, of course, and that little
later the needed amount can be raised.
But the fact remains that residents of
the west side did not appear very
anxious to get the building there, judg-
needed for the site.
This condition of affairs was pre-
missed in The Herald a week ago, as
well as the probability that an effort
to place the convention hall in the east
ern portion of the city would meet
with more success.
There are those who think that as
soon as no further chance of a con-
vention hall on the west side exists |
leading residents of the east side will
take the matter up and push it |
through.
The citys great desire to own the |
property in question was carefully ex-
planned OF Mr.. Crawford but apparent
ly without effect.
The city's next step in the matter
will be awaited with interest.

Governor Stokes Signs a Bill
Which Gould Doubtless Save
City Thousands Of Dollars.
BUYING RUNYON TRACT.
Water Board Proposes to Pay AS
bury Fountain About $500 An
Acre for Swamp Land
When City Could Now
Condemn.

The fact that the water board at its
last meeting passed resolution to
pay Asbury Fountain big price for
needed for the local water works,
makes the new law which went into
effect yesterday, when Governor
Stokes signed senate bill No 100, of
considerable interest here. The bill
which is now law was introduced by
Senator Mckee and is entitled an act
enabling any city TO construct or 9TH
erwise acquire water works within
its own territory Or neighboring
municipality. 1t is pro osed by the
Iiocal water bohrd to pay Asbury
Fountain about $500 an acre from a
lot of sand hills and swamp lands
for which SIS or 500 is considered
an enormous price This new law
gives the city the right to condemn
the tract il 1t is needed.
There is considerable discussion
going on about the city over the pur-
chase of the land. About ten acres
of it Is under water and the rest
is said to be more or less swampy
and practically worthless. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. Fountain is real
izing a handsome profit, the price
being paid by the city being many
times what he paid for it and much
more than anyone would ever give
him for it.
Those criticising the board say
~ htIt
the city has right to flood the land
whe.l it so desires, without buying it,,
according TO supreme court deci-
sion. They also say that condemna<
tion proceedings would secure the
tract much cheaper than the price
the city now proposes to pay.
President Convery, of the water
board, in talking on the subject, said
that while at the present time the
land in question was not needed by
the city, it would be in time, and it
was the duty of the water board to
look out for the future of the city as
well as the present. Mr. Convery de-
clared that it has always been admit
ted that the tract in question should
belong to the city. 1t was a part of
the watershed and was needed to pre-
vent pollution If for no other reason.
He declared that it was a case of the
city wanting the land and to secure it
Fountains price had to be met or
the city had to go without. To take
the matter into the courts, Mr.. Con-
very said, meant a long legal battle,
and the expense would soon pile up
to what the land could now be bought
for.
At the present time all the cities
of the state are securing their own
watersheds for future water supply
and some are forced to pay big prices
in order to secure the land needed.
Mr. Convery points out that the local
water board is up against the same
proposition.

TRENCHARD
APPOINT ED.
Governor Names South Jersey
man After Elizabeth Lawyer
Refused the Offer.

TRENTON, June 9.-Governor
Stokes announced last night the ap-
pointment of Judge Thomas A. Tren-
chard of the Court of Common Pleas
of Cumberland county, to the su-
preme court bench, to succeed the
late Judge Dixon. Judge Trenchard
will probably be sworn in Monday
and then Immediately assume his
new duties. He will be assigned to
the first judicial district, which en-
braces Atlantic, Cape May, Cumber-
land and Salem counties.
Judge Trenchard was born in Cen
treton, Salem county, December 13,
1853. He was educated in the
Bridgeton schools and the South Jer-
sey Institute, having been graduated
from that institution in 1882. He
studied law with Messrs. Potter and
Nixon, of Bridgeton, and was admit
ted to the bar in 1886.
In 1889 he served in the assembly
and from 1890 to 1899 was city so
licitor of Bridgeton. He has been
judge of the court of common pleas
of Cumberland county for seven
years.
Frank Bergen, of Elizabeth, coun-
sci for the Public Service Corpora
ton, declined the appointment to the
supreme court bench to succeed the
late Jonathan Dixon, which was ten
dered to him by Governor Stokes.
The selection of Mr. Bergen is said
to have been urged by Chief Justice
Gummere and Chancellor Magic, in
the conferences which they have had
with the governor relative to the va
cant judgeship. Mr.. Bergen has sew
eral times in the past refused to ac-
cept a judicial position, one of the
first times being in 1899, when he
was suggested for a federal position
in Porto Rico.
In rendering the appointment to
Mr. Bergen, the governor consulted
the wishes of the chief justice.

CORONATION.
Sweden l)nrepresented at the
CrOwning Of King HaakOn VIII
to Spare King Oscar.

CHRISTIANIA, June 9.-Sweden
will not be represented at the corona
ton of King Haakon VII June ~.
The Swedish government desires that
it be understood that this decision Is
not the result of i'll will. or as
breach of friendly intercourse, but
that it is dictated out of regard for
King Oscars personal feelings.
The situation has no historic par
allel, but 1t is considered here as quite
natural that King Oscar should not
permit member of his dynasty to
assist at the coronation of his success
or in the sovereignty of portion OF
his former kingdom. The govern
mental Verdans Gang comments on
the incident in this spirit, saying that
Sweden's absence under the circum-
stances is not a symptom that she IS
unwilling to retain cordial relations
with Norway. n
