JUDGE TO VISIT
CATALINA ISLAND
CONREY WILL MAKE PERSONAL
INVESTIGATION
viii Have to Decide Claim Of BAN
nings to Sole Control Of Magic
lsle--Improvements Rest
on Decision

To settle the long disputed question
of the right of the Bannings to control
the Avalon harbor, Judge Conrey Of
department five of the superior court
will visit the island today and make
personal examination of the ground and
surroundings to which the Bannings
have laid claim.
For the past three weeks representa-
tives of two of the best known law
firms in the southwest have been argu-
ing the various phases of the suit
brought by the Meteor company Of
Catalina island against the Banning
brothers to compel them to allow the
Meteor boats to land at the harbor
front.
Yesterday after argument in the case
had been finished Judge Conrey stated
that he would visit the island in per-
son and look over the conditions there
before he would form any opinion as
to the rights of either party. That
statement grew out of the contention
by the Banning brothers that they
would allow the Meteor boats to land
at the foot of Crescent street, while the
Meteor Boat company complained that
they could not land at that point of the
harbor because of the tide and the con-
dition of the beach.
that he would visit the island Judge
Gibson. representing the Banning broth
ers, offered the judge the use Of the
Banning boat and any number of peo-
pie he might want to accompany him.
Plan Extensive Improvements
Judge Conrey declined the offer, stat
ing that he had enjoyed the trip many
times before and that he would go as
q n n no crnr t1,n fnrA Nttt
Of his pocket and examine for himself.
The present fight brought by the Ban
ming brothers means much to them and
to Southern California. 1t Is stated
that once the Bannings have settled for
all time by decision of the court their
right to Catalina island, it's water front
and it's harbor they will Immediately
begin improvements in the way of O
sea wall and park and other improve
ments that will amount to more than
half a million dollars, making Catalina
island one of the most beautiful resorts
in the world.
With that in view, the suit was prac-
tically brought on by the Bannings TO
secure decision in the courts for one
side or the other
The Meteor Boat company has control
of the big glass bottomed steamers at
the island. They were instructed that
they could land only at certain points
in the harbor and to prevent their land
ing elsewhere fence was stretched
across the harbor front.
The Meteor people contended that
they had a right to land anywhere on
the harbor front and the suit was
brought. In it the only question to be
considered was whether or not the Ban
nings owned a strip of land between
the tide and the road. They were sup
posed to have all the island by a Span
ish grant of years ago. The government
high tide mark shows in the center OF
the county road on the water front.
The outsiders claimed the right to land
Wherever they wanted to on the ground
between the water and the high tide
mark and that question is to be the
chief issue of the case.

Board of Public Service De-
SireS to Inspect the NUM-
CipaI Lighting Plant.
THEY WILL SPEND $4,000.
PLANT AT HAMILTON is IN BAD
CONDITION AND THE PEOPLE
HAVE ORDERED THAT 1T BE
IMPROVED.

The Hamilton, o., board of public
service will be in this city this even
ing for the purpose of inspecting the
Municipal Lighting and Power plant.
which is regarded as model all over
this part of the country The Ham,
ilton officials will be received by the
board of public works and other city
officials and will be supplied with all
the information desired
The Municipal plant at Hamilton is
to be enlarged at an expense of about
$4,000. but before any improvements
are made the Hamilton officials de-
sired to see the improvements made at
the local plant.
The Hamilton, o.. municipal plant
has had a stormy career. OF late 1t
has been a poor investment to the city
owing to the fact that it was not large
enough to compete with the independ-
ent plant. The Hamilton council and
board of public service decided to en-
large the plant and their decision
wrought up a general fight in which
the enemies of the plant, melted by the
SIdIpul6ulS Ol lut dStItS III JlG ilSut-
ing and power trust, which controls
the independent plant, played an ac-
tive part.
1t was decided to leave the question
to the Hamilton taxpayers and gen.
eral election was ordered. 1t was the
general understanding that if the
voters decided that no more money
should be expended on the plant it
would be abandoned. When this elec-
tion was held short time ago, the
friends of the plant rallied to its res
cue and as a result, won out by a mar
row margin. It is desired by the
Hamilton board of public service 10
make the proposed improvements as
soon as possible.

At an early hour this morning one
of the fiercest storms in months broke
over Richmond lasting for more than
two hours. There were loud slaps of
thunder and jagged forks of lightning
flared across the skys. The wind
was high and rain fell. Many people
of the city were aroused Telephone
companies suffered, as many telephon-
es were burned out in various parts of
the city. The interurban companies
had trouble with their wires.
About seven o'clock the storm was
renewed and there was a very heavy
rainfall with lightning
Reports reaching Richmond from
different sections of this and sur
rounding counties show that lightn-
ing played havoc, striking barns,
houses and trees. Owing to the fact
that the lightning was of such severe
character, people were aroused and in
many instances prepared to protect
their homes, in case the occasion de-
manded. In Richmond the only house
reported as having been struck is that
