President Hayes. THAT Jared the

lies the story.
During Centennial year congress re-
solved to provide the necessary funds
for the completion of tho monument,
which up TO that time had been work
ed at only while the several smaller
appropriations lasted. It was discoT-
cred. however, that the original founda-
ton was likely to prove Incapable Of
sustaining the enormous weight of
marble necessary for carrying the
shaft $50 feet above terra firIna. \
new Foundation was therefore needed.
and architects thought Il solid concrete
bed 100 feet square and nearly four
teen feet in thickness would accom-
pIish the Strengthening desired.
During the operation of replacing the
old foundation it was considered eN-
pedieut to provide means for noting
carefully the slightest vibration of the
walls. lest the monument might be in
danger of coIlapsinG. Accordingly Il
heavy weight WAS suspended by n
stout thread from the apex to pan
of thick strip located in the base, so
that no chance drafts OF sir would be
likely to sway the weight An ingen-
ious contrivance was so attached to the
weight that the slightest vibration of
the shaft would be faithfully recorded,
and its insecurity would at once be an
established fact.
One morning few months after
these careful precautions had been
taken there was Il great commotion
among the workmen. A complete
record of numerous perturbations and
trembIings had been written on the in
dex, showing concIusively that the
mammoth obelisk had Jared. swayed

heads were obviously shaken After
much persuasion one of the men finally
consented to go to the top and examine
into the cause. The astonishing report
came into the midst of the anxious
throng below that an owl In seeking
shelter in the lofty tower had somehow
managed to catch its wings in the
thread and was still hanging there.

ment. and the innumerable flappings

LONG BEACH, Aug. 8.-The clam
shell dredger of the Los Angeles Dock
and Terminal company ceased opera
tions about IL o'clock last night at the
command of a guard employed by the
San Pedro salt works, which claims the
land through which the dredger was
about to dig.
This morning Capt. Gridley appealed
to the city officials for protection but
was referred to the coutny authorities.
At II o'clock this forenoon, however,
the operation of the dredger was re-
sumed and the advance toward the dis
puted territory was again begun.
-Four representatives of the salt
works company, including the manager,
w. e. Dunn, stood all afternoon on the
dixie marking the line Of the land they
claim, armed with revolvers or rifles.
The company's officials claim that a
lease which they havev upon the prop
erty is still good and that they will re-
sist the invasion of the terminal COM
pany just as they would a gang Of
robbers.
The terminal people, on the other
hand, claim ownership to the land and
ask the salt makers why they do not
take the case into the courts.
The council at special meeting to-
night instructed the city attorney and
executive officials to take legal steps
to protect the dredger company.

LONG BEACH, Aug. Sat the meet
ing of the city trustees last night the
following communication was received
from w. T. Whitley of Los Angeles,
chairman of a committee of wholesale
lumbermen:
"Gentlemen--A short time ago two
steamers with non-unlon crews, the
Mayfair and the Conrad, could not dis
charge their cargoes either at East or
West San Pedro on account of the sail
ors' strike and had to go to other ports.
This letter Is sent to you to ascertain
what protection the vessel owners, as
well as receivers of cargoes, can expect
from the city of Long Beach on vessels
putting in at San Pedro with non-union
crews.
THE ship owners of San Francisco
refuse to send any more vessels to San
Pedro unless the cities will guarantee
the necessary protection should trouble
arise on either side Of the bay.
please bring this matter up and II
protection can be guaranteed us, kindly
state so in the shape of a letter, and
the same Will be passed UP to the ship
owners of San Francisco, with a view
of having all vessels discharge their
cargoes at either East San Pedro or San
Pedro in the future, In place of having
them go to Port Los Angeles and Re-
dondo, as a large number are now do
ing"
The trustees voted unanimously to
answer the communication with a
strong and positive assurance that full
protection would be given the parties
concerned so far as possible.
