INVITE WARSHZPS
TO STOP NEAR BY
LOS ANGELES MAYOR WILL ASK
NAVY DEPARTMENT
San Pedro or Redondo Harbor Will Be
Put on Fleets Itinerary II South
ern California Exerts Suffi-
cient Pressure

Mayor A. c. Harper will probably ask
the navy department to order some or
all of the warships on their coming
cruise to stop at San Pedro or Redondo
on their way along the coast via Cape
Horn.
While details of the trip are still lack
ing, both San Diego and San Francisco
are making plans to celebrate the arrival
Of the warships, and 1t is felt by An
gelenos that their city should not be
sighted on such a notable national oc-
casion.
1t is probable that If the cities of
Southern California bring influences to
bear on the department and on the sem
ators and congressman no trouble will be
encountered in getting an order issued to
make at least brief stop off at Los
Angeles.
Secretary Frank Virgins of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce, who is
now in the east, could probably convey
an official message to the authorities if
requested.
Letters from California boys now with
the fleet on the Atlantic coast suggested
the idea to Mayor Harper and he will
act in few days, 1t is thought probably
sending q special message to the city
council on Monday.

PRISONER
A. SUICIDE
MAN WHO ASKED MERCY TOOK
POISON
"WHIskY CAUSE OF ALL" SAYS
NOTE
William Griffin, Thought to Have Died
as Result of Debauch, Planned
End, the Autopsy
Shows

That William Griffin, who died Thurs
day afternoon in the city jail. committed
suicide developed at the autopsy held yes
terday at Pierce Brothers morgue.
The autopsy showed that Griffin had
taken bichloride of mercury, four or hve
grains of which will kill an ordinary
man. He left a note. Whether 1t was
written before or after he was taken to
iail is not known. The fact that he had
poison with him in the jail, however,
leads to the belief that the note was
written before he was locked up.
The note reads as follows
"Please tell my wife, at 1004h South
Main street, that 1 forgive her for all she
haa done and hope she will forgive me.
'Please notify my people at 1921 South
port avenue, Chicago.
"Whisky was the cause of 1t all"
The note is written on the back of a
letter received by Griffin from his
brother, DR.. N. A. Griffin of Chicago.
At the rooming house at 10041a Main
street, kept by Mrs. Griffin, it was said
last night that she was not at home and
her whereabouts were unknown, although
she was i'll. Mrs. Griffin has not been at
the house for several days
Griffin was taken to the police station
Thursday morning suffering from the eff
fects of long period of intoxication. He
asked Justice Rose to sentence him to
twelve or fifteen days In order that he
might have time to recuperate his shat
tered nerves. He was sentenced to three
days
A few hours later Griffin fell to the floor,
and within three minutes life was extinct.

The forces working on the last stages

If there are no more heavy rains for

have been heard from property holders
all along the line who object to the

Los Angeles achievement with the
new outfall makes her prominent in the
engineering world, especially as the

the day specified or possibly before.
